Comrades! Please Think-over!

What are the reasons for delay in JTO to SDE (T) Promotion? Those who are singing the tunes of themselves being the saviors of Youngsters have gone to the Court and stalled the Promotions from JTO(T) to SDE(T) under  Seniority Cum Fitness 67% Quota. Due to this Court Case, thousands of BSNL recruited JTOs including 2001 Batch onwards are still waiting for their first promotion for the last 6 to 20 years

Friends, all are aware that due to consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, 2090 JTO (T) s were promoted as SDE (T) through 2015 LDCE for the vacancy year 2010-11 on 25.06.2018.

All India Eligibility List published by BSNL CO during Feb’ 2015 to grant promotions to the cadre of SDE (T) under 67% seniority cum fitness quota was challenged by some of the Office bearers  of so called Saviors  Association in the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala. The Hon’ble High Court of Kerala vide their judgment dated 05.06.2018  set aside the above said AIEL and directed to redraw an integrated AIEL on the basis of date of joining without considering training centre marks. BSNL published an AIEL on 14.06.2018 by bifurcating the earlier AIEL which only consists of JTOs recruited up to the year 1999 and accordingly, granted promotion to the cadre of SDE (Telecom) for 67% Seniority cum Fitness quota on 15.06.2018. Due to the Court directions, BSNL issued promotion orders only for 3147 JTOs even though another 4500 vacancies were available for the vacancy year 2009-10 and 2010-11. In this DPC, BSNL has promoted JTOs recruited for 1995 (partial), 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 (partial) recruitment years for the vacancy years 2009-10 and 2010-11. Though more than 4500 thousands of SDE vacancies were available during June- 2018, but could not be filled up as the Eligibility list of JTOs recruited from 2001 onwards  have to be re-casted as per the directions of Hon’ble  High Court of Kerala w.r.t. Date of Joining, in view of the case filed by the activists of so called Saviour Association.

A contempt petition was then filed against the promotion orders dated 15.06.2018, by some of the Office bearers of the so called Saviors Association which is still pending for disposal. Due to the Contempt petition   filed by the activists of the so called Saviour Association against CMD BSNL, another 4500 vacancies could not be filled after June, 2018.   

Hence the JTO (T) to SDE (T) Promotions were badly delayed for more than two years due to Court cases filed by the so called Saviors of Youngsters which created serious resentment, de-motivation and demoralization among the Young JTOs of 2001 to 2008 batch.

BSNL filed a Review Petition against the judgment dated 05.06.2018  since  the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala in its judgment had made the training centre marks irrelevant, which is not in consonance with the DoP&T guidelines. The above said review petition is still pending for disposal.

So Comrades! Please understand who is behind the stalling of due Promotions.   Those who were gone to the Court and stalled the Promotion in the name of Contempt Petition are not come forward to withdraw the same in the interest of thousands of BSNL Recruits but they are now shedding the Crocodile Tears that JTO(T) to SDE(T) Promotions are delayed. 

Friends! Please identify the true colours of so called Saviors Association who have killed the Carrier Prospective of BSNL Recruits.

We request the whole BSNL Recruits to think, introspect and decide!

Join AIBSNLEA to safe guard the interests and rights of BSNL Recruits.

AIBSNLEA    ZINDABAD!

MAKE   AIBSNLEA   AS   NO.-1   ASSOCIATION

Window opened for exercising option to change for Associations’ subscription from 16.06.2020 to 15.07.2020

Dear Comrades!

AIBSNLEA was formally launched on 1st May’ 2004 by merging 10 separate Associations representing different disciplines of Group ‘B’ and Group ‘A’ promoted officers.

AIBSNLEA is the only Association actually represents all the Streams/ Cadres (Telecom/Finance/Civil/Electrical/Arch/TF/PA/PS/OL/CSS etc.) in BSNL and taken up the issues pertaining to the Executives of all the Streams since last 16 years without any biased manner.

AIBSNLEA is committed with its core strength for the development of the BSNL as well as to protect the Service Benefits and Legitimate Rights of their Members.

Don’t be confuse by misleading messages and propaganda in Social Media by the vested interest groups.

AIBSNLEA is always working for safe guarding the interest of its Members/Executives.

AIBSNLEA very strongly and very quickly taken up the burning issues relating to the Executives including our Young BR/DR Comrades for early settlement through letters and continuous dialogue with the Management.

All the Circle Secretaries/ District Secretaries are advised to conduct meetings through Video Conferences, wherever necessary, and motivate the Activists to collect and submit the membership forms to the concerned DDO before 15th July’ 2020 duly filled in by the new members in each Circle/SSA/Branch etc.,

All the CHQ/CWC Members/Circle/SSA/Branch Office bearers, activists and members are requested to interact with each and every Executive, explaining the Achievements, Progress and Status of the issues taken up by AIBSNLEA CHQ/Circle as listed below:

Achievements of AIBSNLEA

1. Mega Promotions- Mile Stone created in the History of DoT & BSNL- AIBSNLEA Vision and Positive approach benefited thousands of Executives by Promotion through CPCs, which is a Major breakthrough and Achievement of AIBSNLEA: Due to consistent untiring and dedicated efforts of AIBSNLEA, CPCs were conducted in all disciplines to fill up all the vacancies in almost all Cadres resulting about 14,000 Executives have been promoted in June-July, 2018 and Nov,2018 which has given a great relief and Morale booster to the Executives who were waiting for their promotions years together. It is a mile stone in the History of DOT and BSNL.

On the pretext of various pending Court cases, BSNL Management is not conducting CPCs. AIBSNLEA has written to the Management for the immediate filling up all the vacant JAG, STS Group ‘A’ & Group ‘B’ Grade posts in all disciplines in BSNL on Regular basis through CPCs before the implementation of the proposed VR Scheme and before any Notification of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy on the prospective date to avoid humiliation among the Sr. Executives.

AIBSNLEA is only Association persuaded and convinced the Management that CPCs in BSNL can also be conducted on the similar lines on which the other Departments are conducting the CPCs on the basis of Hon’ble Supreme Court’s Judgment in the case of Nagaraj on SC/ST roster implementation: BSNL Management considered our request and decided in the BSNL MC to initiate CPCs in all disciplines on the same line of other Departments. Mean-while Hon’ble Supreme Court also delivered the Judgment allowing SC/ST roster implementation in promotions which was also endorsed by DoPT. This further smoothens the way for conducting CPCs in BSNL. In the SDE(T) Promotions all the vacancies could not filled up due to the Court cases at Ernakulum and Chennai. Only 5237 JTOs were promoted as SDE in 2018.

2. 30% Superannuation benefits to directly recruited employees as per DPE guidelines: AIBSNLEA requested CMD BSNL, Director (HR/EB) and ED (Finance) to resolve superannuation benefits to directly recruited employees as per DPE guidelines and BSNL should contribute 12% as Superannuation Benefits in respect of Direct Recruits to fulfill the limit of 30% contribution. The remuneration committee of BSNL Board recommended to start a Superannuation benefit Trust to directly recruited BSNL employees with a contribution of 3% initially and further it can be reviewed on the basis of financial health of the Company. DoT issued the Presidential Directives in this regard and BSNL Management created a Trust and other formalities in this regard. On our persuasion BSNL Board has increased the contribution from 3% to 5% but we are continuously demanding 12% contribution. CMD BSNL assured to increase further 2% in the contributions to the Superannuation benefits by March, 2019 but remain pending due to Financial Crunch in BSNL. AIBSNLEA will continue its efforts in this regard.

3. JAO 2010 Batch option case: Due to hard and continuous persuasion with deep commitment and understanding of the issue results in getting released the order allowing JAO 2010 Batch (Departmental 40% Quota) to exercise their option for fixation of pay in the revised pay from the date of promotion in the grade of JAO, as one time dispensation.

4. Group Term Insurance for the BSNL Executives: It is our major achievement and relief for all the Young Comrades AIBSNLEA attended all the meetings with the Committee members constituted to discuss the methodology for induction of Group Term Insurance (GTI) for its executives. Implementation of GTI Scheme for BSNL Executives has been finalized & MoU between LIC & BSNL is finalized & signed between LIC & BSNL on 27.12.2019. The Scheme has already been implemented w.e.f. 01.03.2019 with annual Premium of Rs.9440/- for a coverage of Rs.50 lakh for all the Executives up to 50 years of age.

5. Reversion of 2001 Recruited JTOs Passed LDCE 2007: Due to AIBSNLEA continuous persuasion with the Management a Committee has been formed and Committee Report is likely to be placed before the Management. We will continue our efforts in this regard.

6. Rs. 22820/- Pay Fixation case of JTOs/JAOs post recruited 2007: AIBSNLEA along with AITEEA requested CMD BSNL for the removal of pay anomaly in this regard. Accepting our request CMD, BSNL constituted a Committee headed by PGM (PF) Smt. A. Panda to examine the issue and submit the report. We also gave presentation to the Committee and the Committee has submitted its report to the competent authority for consideration. We are pursuing with Director (HR) and CMD BSNL for the resolution of the issue. We have explained that already some Pay Anomaly Cases of JTOs 2005 batch, JAO 2010 batch and Asstt. of CSS cadre have been settled by BSNL Management. In the same line this issue also needs settlement but case remains pending.

7. Management Trainees Recruitment Rule-2009: AIBSNLEA consistent efforts yielded results in getting deferred MT Exam – 2015 but some Executives Associations and Non-Executives Unions are continuously making efforts for MT recruitment. Our considered opinion is that since young and talented executives having B Tech/M Tech, CA/ICWA, MBA qualifications at the level of JTO / SDE are available in BSNL, hence there should not be any lateral induction above JTO cadre. The lateral induction above the JTO cadre will block the career progression of these young talented executives available in BSNL. But the BSNL Management has further notified MT Recruitment from Internal Quota by conducted the exams on 17th March, 2019. Against this AIBSNELA has protested. Management has to scrap the MTRRs to provide smooth career progression to the existing executives of BSNL.

8. E1+ 5 increments benefit to JTOs/JAOs: Management Committee of the BSNL Board approved E1+5 increments benefits to the SRD JTOs 2010 batch and JAOs 2013 batch but it is pending for BSNL Board Approval, our efforts are continue. Like that AIBSNLEA continuously pursuing with the Management for grant of E1+5 increments to the DR JAOs 2015 & 2018 batch LDCE JAOs 2016 batch and LDCE JTOs  of 2016 & 2017 batches...

9. Due to consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, the FR22(1)(a)(i) benefits extended to the Ex. Officiating JTOs w.e.f. 1.1..2007.

10. Withdrawal of Additional Increment in the same scale on functional promotion under EPP: DoT vide its letter dated 05.07.2017 withdraw additional Increment in the same scale on functional promotion under EPP. Against this, AIBSNLEA immediately filed an OA in the Hon’ble PB CAT New Delhi for quashing the order. Even after that, DoT continued to reduce the Pension of the BSNL retiree Executives, against this AIBSNLEA filed a Contempt Petition in the Hon’ble PB CAT New Delhi. Thereafter DoT stopped reducing the pension/ revising the Pay fixation by obtaining an under taking from the retiring executives, DoT has filed Writ Petition in the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi wherein AIBSNLEA has filed a caveat. The case was heard and Posted for next hearing in April 2020. Due to COVID-19 Lock down it is not yet heard.

11. AIBSNLEA is actively Participated in all the Agitation calls given by AUAB and regularly attending the meetings to discuss the issues related to the Revival Plan, Financial viability of BSNL, allocation of 4G spectrum to BSNL, Monetization of non-core Land, the issues of revision of Pay, Pension and Payment of pension contribution on actual basis instead of maximum of the pay scale, BSNL MRS etc. To get settled the demands, AUAB launched series of agitation calls including 3 days strike and March to Sanchar Bhawan etc., in all the Agitational Calls AIBSNLEA was in fore front and actively participated and succeeded by getting Revival Plan Approved by the Union Cabinet on 23.10.2019 with a) 4G spectrum and 18% GST free of cost, b) No financial implication for BSNL on VRS, c) Land monetization for loan repayment and development, d) Rs 8,500 Crore Bond for Restructuring of loan. Contentious issues like E2 & E3 Pay Scale will be settled before BSNL & MTNL Merger.

12. Tower Subsidiary formation: Govt. of India with the Union Cabinet approval dated 12.09.2017 has created a Subsidiary Tower Company fully owned BSNL. The company has been registered in the name BSNL Tower Corporation Ltd. on 04.01.2018. But, DoT arbitrarily appointed Shri Amit Yadav, JS (Admn), an IAS officer, as the CMD of the Subsidiary Company which created apprehension that Govt. may any time sell out the Subsidiary Company through strategic business partner. Against this, AUAB protested organizationally and decided to protest legally also. Accordingly, AIBSNLEA filed a case in the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi resulting BTCL still not in operation.

13. Pension Contribution on Acutal basic Pay instead of Maximum of the Pay Scale: AIBSNLEA continuously pursuing with DoT, DoPT and Dept of Expenditure for the Pension contribution on actual basic pay instead of maximum of the pay scales as per F.R 116.

14. Modification in BSNL MSRR regarding Pay fixation from E5 to E6 to DGM (Adhoc): AIBSNLEA succeeded in getting approved from BSNL Board the modification in BSNL MSRR regarding Pay fixation from E5 to E6 to DGM (Adhoc). Many stagnating Executives are benefited by this.

15. Promotion from DGM (Adhoc) to DGM (Regular): Due to consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, Promotion Orders have been issued from DGM Adhoc to Regular. It is the AIBSNLEA Achievement i.e. 1st time in the history of BSNL.

16. Centralization of TR Activities: We strongly protested against the decision of the BSNL Management to transfer all TR work to Circle Office and requested that it has to be reviewed immediately as it is not practical. We suggested that for very small SSAs, it can be centralized at BA level but medium and larger SSAs, TR work should be continued with the SSA for effective bill collection and persuasion, settling of billing related complaints, Outstanding Pursuit, handling of EB Customers etc., Management is very much convinced on our suggestions and assured to review the policy.

17. SLA based Outsourcing of CFA and OFC works: Management has already issued orders for the SLA based Outsourcing of works. In most of the SSAs, EOI are not finalized and manipulations by the Contractors are being reported from many places because of the Clusters and Operation & Mtce., is not monitored and maintained properly. We continuously provided the feedback to the Management in this regard.

18. e-DPC/e-APAR: AIBSNLEA has taken up the issue of early conduction of DPC through e-DPC resulting e-APAR got introduced in BSNL in February’ 2017 in ERP Module for the year 2016-17 for streamlining e-DPC related work. As a result, e-DPC was introduced and successfully conducted for DGM (T) Promotion in Feb.’ 2020.

19. 3rd PRC Implementation with full fitment benefit: We could convince the BSNL full Board resulting it has been recommended by BSNL Board with 15% fitment for the Executives. Due to performing continuous losses by BSNL, the recommendation is pending for seeking relaxation on Affordability Clause in DoT.

20. Standard Pay scale of E2 and E3: AIBSNLEA will continue its efforts to get implemented the BSNL’s earlier proposal sent to DoT on 06.06.2016 and 12.06.2017 to provide justice to all the Executives in order to remove their Pay Anomaly and Stagnation. DoT referred the case to DoE and DPE for the clarification to introduce parallel Pay Scales of E1A and E2A in BSNL but DPE and DoE has replied that it is the prerogative of the Administrative Ministry/ PSU to decide the Pay Scales of Executives in the Pay Band available.

21. Govt. funding for Ex-Gratia on VRS: AIBSNLEA demand of payment of Ex-Gratia to the VRS optees by the Govt. from Budgetary Support instead of raising Bonds by BSNL has also been accepted finally.

22. Withdrawal of ambiguous CDR IPMS Score Card for CFA Segment.

23. Implementation of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy - Change of Designations on each Time Bound up-gradation on functional basis: On our persuasion, Management Committee of BSNL Board directed PGM Pers. to discuss and take the views of all the Stake holder Executive Associations and thereafter bring to BSNL MC for clearance. Accordingly, PGM (Pers) conducted meetings with all the Stake holders, wherein AIBSNLEA submitted its views/suggestions emphasizing the implementation of Khan Committee report in true sense i.e. Time Bound Non-Post Based functional promotions should be available up-to AGM level, senior SDE should not be inducted as functional post, all AGMs/ CAOs completed 4 years of regular service should be designated as Jt. DGM and the bench mark for promotions should be on numerical basis to minimize the droppings, the residency period from SDE to DE / AO to CAO should be 5 years instead of 12 years, reference point for implementation of CPSU CH should be date of last CPC conducted or the year of Recruitment and implementation of SC/ST roster as per DOPT instructions etc. Among these suggestions, Management considered some suggestions i.e. Time Bound Non-Post Based functional promotions made available up-to AGM level, AGMs/ CAOs completed 4 years of regular service are to be designated as Jt. DGM and the bench mark for promotions are on numerical basis. AIBSNLEA efforts are continuing for the consideration of remaining suggestions i.e. senior SDE should not be inducted as functional post, the residency period from SDE to DE / AO to CAO should be 7 years instead of 12 years and implementation of SC/ST roster as per DOPT instructions etc. BSNL Board has approved the CPSU CH w.e.f. 01.07.2018.

06.07.2020  GS, AIBSNLEA writes to Shri P.K.Purwar, CMD BSNL  and requested for immediate  issuance of Regular Promotions  in all the Streams/Grades  in order to fill up the huge vacuum created due to VRS-2019 and to maintain the vast BSNL Telecom Network fault free and the Administrative Offices efficiently.  AIBSNLEA strongly oppose any look-after arrangement in higher grade

Thousands of Executives in Higher Scales are working in the entry level of

JTO equivalent grades for 5 to 30 years and waiting for their 1st promotion

i)JTOs recruited from 1988 in Arch wing,

ii) JTOs recruited from 1997 in Electrical and Telecom Factory wings,

iii)Thousands of JTOs in Telecom wing from 1999, 2001 to 2008, 2010,2013 etc.,

iv)JTOs recruited in 1998 in Civil Wing are waiting.

Like that:

SDE(C)s are waiting for EE(C) promotion from 1998

SDE(E)s are waiting for EE(E) promotion from 2000

SDE(TF)s are waiting for AGM(TF) promotion from 2001

SDE(T)s are waiting for AGM(T) promotion from 2004

AOs are waiting for CAO promotion from 2008.

Like that promotion from PA to PS, PS to PPS and CSS Cadres are also held up.

It is observed that, BSNL Management was deliberately dragging the Promotion and putting the career of the Young Executives at great risk. At the early stage of their career itself, they are getting de-motivated and demoralized. But to our surprise, there are no hurdles in the Promotion at the Top level. It is pertinent to mention that Un-interrupted promotions orders were issued in the grade of GM and CGM level, in some cases excess promotions were also given at GM and CGM level for which BSNL Management is not having any reluctance at all. Even on their last working day, some ITS Officers were given promotion, we welcome that. But thousands of Absorbed BSNL Executives were retired without getting due promotion when there was no hindrance for giving them promotion.

When a Group A Officer in BSNL gets Time bound Promotion along with designation change from E4 to E9 Scale with the designations of Asst General Manager ->Dy General Manger ->Jt GM ->Addl GM in 17 years and then GM to Sr GM also, but a JTO(T) joined in 1999 ,2001 to 2008, 2010 and 2013 is still continuing as JTO, JTO(Arch) joined in 1988 still continuing as JTO, JTOs recruited from 1997 in Electrical and Telecom Factory wings are continuing as JTOs and JTOs recruited in 1998 in Civil Wing are continuing as JTOs.

All the Executives are expected that the due promotion will be given during the implementation of VRS. But even 5 months after the VRS, nothing is moving in  BSNL CO and making the situation very worst. There is a huge stagnation in promotion among different wings.

Most of the Executives are drawing Two to Four Stages in the higher Scales than their Substantive Scale/Grade viz., a JTO of E-1 Scale is drawing E-4/ E-5 (AGM/DGM) scale and a SDE or AO equivalent of E-2 scale is drawing E-5/E-6 (DGM/SG-DGM) Scales and waiting for their Regular Promotions from years together. Since the Executives are already working/drawing the higher scales, promotion is not going to make any financial implication either to BSNL or DoT. The regular promotion orders can be issued from among the Executives working in higher scales.

AIBSNLEA strongly oppose any look-after arrangement in higher grade but we demand immediate promotions on ‘Regular Basis’, considering the post VRS vacuum. If immediate steps are not taken, Services will be severely affected since the Executives are reluctant to take higher responsibilities on short-term/temporary basis.

04.07.2020   GS, AIBSNLEA writes to Shri P.K.Purwar, CMD BSNL and requested for immediate creation of Trust/Fund  for Post Retirement Medical Benefit for BSNL Recruits and releasing the  full pending arrears to the  Trust with effect from 01.01.2007 so as to mitigate the suffering being faced/would be faced  by the BSNL Direct Recruits and their families after VRS, Retirement,  Death etc., and to avoid any resentment and frustration among the BSNL Direct Recruits:-

                                             Suggestions of AIBSNLEA

1.     PRMB should be a well defined contribution just like Superannuation Pension fund, EPFO Contribution ,Gratuity Fund etc.,

2.     This 3.3% of PRMB should be made as Defined contribution & Separate BSNL PRMB Trust should be formed otherwise this 3.3% contribution has no meaning & it should not be counted for Superannuation Benefits contribution.

3.     The effective date of creation of the Trust/Fund for Post Retirement Medical Benefit for the Direct Recruits Employees of BSNL must be 01.01.2007 i.e., the date of effect of 2nd PRC recommendations otherwise it will be a gross injustice to the BSNL Direct Recruits.

2nd Membership Verification of Executives Association on 18.08.2020

Vote & Support AIBSNLEA

to save BSNL and its Executives

Dear Comrades!

Today, AIBSNLEA, the only Association actually represents all the Streams/ Cadres in BSNL and taken up the issues pertaining to the Executives of all the Streams with utmost sincerity and  without any biased manner since last 16 years filed the nomination for participating in the Second MVP.  

AIBSNLEA CHQ today insisted the BSNL Management to ensure the following for the conduction of 2^nd MVP in a free and fair manner,

1)  Special Permission to be obtained from Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Health for continuous extensive travel by the Central Head Quarters Leaders/Circle Secretaries in Flights/Trains/Buses throughout India for 2nd MVP Campaign without quarantine since MHA has notified compulsory quarantine for those who are travelled by Flights, Trains and buses from one State to another and Inter Districts from 5 to 14 days according to the Pandemic situation in the concerned State/District.

2)  Since Mass gathering and conduction of meetings for 2^nd MVP canvassing has also banned by the MHA, hence Special Permission is to be obtained from the MHA/ concerned State Authorities i.e., from Chief Secretaries/Director General of Police/ District Collectors for conducting 2nd MVP Canvass meetings at District Head Quarters/State Capital, wherein Central/Circle/District Office bearers will participate. It is pertinent to mention that our members are working in the SSAs and SDCAs throughout India hence 2nd MVP Campaign should reach each and every Voter, as every Voter wants to listen their Leaders.  It is our Democratic Right to canvass for the 2nd MVP throughout India and it should not be restricted.

3)  100% BSNL Executives are not able to reach the Polling booths on the day of polling since Public Transport, Metro, Local Train Services are not available in many places. Hence, Vehicles should be provided by the BSNL Management to those executives not able to come to Polling Booths for casting their votes.

4)  Special Permission to be obtained from Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Health and concerned State Authorities for the movement of BSNL Executives from the containment Zones and Hot Spots for canvassing and to reach the Polling Booths to cast their votes.

5)  MHA has recently issued new guidelines on June 29, 2020 for Unlock-2, wherein many restrictions are continued till 31.07.2020 and may be further extended for August 2020, also.

6)  If conduction of 2nd MVP leads to any mis-happenings or untoward incidents, it will be the Sole responsibility of the BSNL Management and Special Insurance Coverage should be arranged for all the Executives before the conduction of 2nd MVP since there is a serious Life threat due to Covid-19.

All the Circle Secretaries/ District Secretaries are advised to form Committees and conduct meetings through Video Conferences, wherever necessary with the involvement of Organizing Secretary/CHQ Office bearers, and motivate the Activists to collect and submit the membership forms to the concerned DDO before 15th July’ 2020 duly filled in by the new members in each Circle/SSA/Branch etc..

All the CHQ/CWC Members/Circle/SSA/Branch Office bearers, activists and members are requested to interact with each and every Executive, explaining the Achievements, Progress and Status of the issues taken up by AIBSNLEA CHQ/Circle.

All the members are requested not to be misguided by the Malice/Mischievous Propaganda/Campaign in the Social Media by the vested interested groups/Mongers. 

We request all the BSNL Executives to analyze the facts, approach of AIBSNLEA on the issues of all disciplines, quick action thereon by AIBSNLEA, and then cast your vote in favour of AIBSNLEA so that the future of the Executives is secured and BSNL is saved…

Friends...We, (AIBSNLEA) always believe on doing work on ground level. We always believe that actions speak louder than the words...We work for the whole Fraternity. It is our utmost priority that none of the Executive is at loss.

In order to protect the interests of Executives in the years to come, it is the need of the hour to cast Your Votes in favour the AIBSNLEA and make it as No.1 Association.

Please Strengthen AIBSNLEA!

MAKE AIBSNLEA No. 1 Association!           !

26.06.2020 Meeting with Shri P K Purwar, CMD, BSNL on 25.06.2020:

GSs of AIBSNLEA & SNEA, AGS, AIBSNLEA and President, SNEA met CMD, BSNL and held discussions on the following issues:

1) 4G launching: CMD informed that discussions are going on at various level, in Empowered Technical Group, DoT, Niti Ayog, PMO etc., Govt formed a Committee to consider the changes required in the BSNL tender as well as up gradation proposal. According to CMD, 4G launching is getting delayed irrespective of the fact that management is putting its best efforts.

2) Conduction of 2^nd Membership Verification during-

 i) Covid 19 Pandemic situation and

 ii) Land line/Cable/OFC faults are getting accumulated and services getting deteriorated:

We shared our concern on conducting the MV in August, 2020 as many places are declared as containment zones and hot spots. Employees are not able to attend the office. Employees are running from pillar to post for maintenance of service and rectification of faults during the monsoon and pandemic period. Landline faults, BB faults and OFC faults are increasing day by day, beyond control. Operation and maintenance works seriously affected. This timing is selected by the Management to restrict the movement of the Office bearers to different Circles for campaigning, we pointed out.

CMD informed that notification was overdue. Notification issued and work started in this regard. However if situation needed, decision can be reviewed.

3) Ex-Gratia payment to VRS optees: CMD informed that, may be due to the financial crisis and 15% Ceiling Limit of first quarter ending 30.6.2020, Govt allotted 3600 Cr for BSNL and MTNL together instead of BSNL balance requirement  of Rs.9300 Cr.CMD further mentioned that out 3600 Cr, BSNL portion 3000 Cr only. By this payment, the total Ex-Gratia payment will reach about 51% of the total amount due.

4) Ex-Gratia payment to employees facing Court cases (Civil/Personal): We made our strong protest against the DoT order withholding the payments simply based on Court cases. This order can be misused by anyone. Simply filing an FIR just before the retirement can spoil the retirement benefits and entire life. CMD also agreed to our concern and agreed to take up with DoT.

5) Implementation of Merger of Project and Maintenance Regions: We expressed our concern over the delay in implementation of the order. We brought to the notice of CMD that Man power, Stores and Vehicles are not properly utilized. We are getting complaints from the Executives posted in the maintenance regions frequently about their hardships.

4G launching getting delayed

We gathered from many sources that Govt is not in favour of allowing Chinese vendors participating in the new 4G Tender or in the up gradation of existing BTSs (Nokia & ZTE) to 4G. So far nothing has been communicated officially to BSNL. Different Govt. agencies having varying views on the subject. Lot of vendors are putting their weight behind the Govt at higher level to cancel the tender and go for indigenous equipments. But who is manufacturing indigenous equipments with indigenous Technology, no Govt Department is able to spell out. The opinion of DoT, Niti Ayog, Commerce Ministry and PMO varies on this. Nokia, Ericsson etc manufacturing their equipments in India but Technology is foreign. Niti Ayog is for indigenous Technology and indigenous equipments. But Technical experts differ on it on the plea that indigenous 4G Technology is not available. Whether equipments can be divided into Core, Radio etc and indigenous Technology can be limited to Core equipments, that also examining. There is a strong thinking in Govt Circles to financially support BSNL if the rates are high. But who will compensate the losses for the abnormal delay, no answer. Whether the newly formed Technical Committee formed after intervention at higher level may give an answer to this? We have to wait for few weeks. The Committee consists of Member(Technology)/Chairman, DG(Telecom)/DoT, Director/IIT Madras, Director/IIT Kanpur, Representative from NSCS, DIR(CM)/BSNL, DIR(Technical)/MTNL and DDG(PM)/DoT. It is asked to submit the report in 2 weeks time.

For any queries in this regard, please contact Com. Ramnath Chhabra, FS/CHQ Contact No: 9868231711, 9416646742

Window opened for exercising option to change for Associations’ subscription from 16.06.2020 to 15.07.2020

Dear Comrades!

AIBSNLEA was formally launched on 1st May’ 2004 by merging 10 separate Associations representing different disciplines of Group ‘B’ and Group ‘A’ promoted officers.

AIBSNLEA is the only Association actually represents all the Streams/ Cadres (Telecom/Finance/Civil/Electrical/Arch/TF/PA/PS/OL/CSS etc.) in BSNL and taken up the issues pertaining to the Executives of all the Streams since last 16 years without any biased manner.

AIBSNLEA is committed with its core strength for the development of the BSNL as well as to protect the Service Benefits and Legitimate Rights of their Members.

Don’t be confuse by misleading messages and propaganda in Social Media by the vested interest groups.

AIBSNLEA is always working for safe guarding the interest of its Members/Executives.

AIBSNLEA very strongly and very quickly taken up the burning issues relating to the Executives including our Young BR/DR Comrades for early settlement through letters and continuous dialogue with the Management.

All the Circle Secretaries/ District Secretaries are advised to conduct meetings through Video Conferences, wherever necessary, and motivate the Activists to collect and submit the membership forms to the concerned DDO before 15th July’ 2020 duly filled in by the new members in each Circle/SSA/Branch etc.,

All the CHQ/CWC Members/Circle/SSA/Branch Office bearers, activists and members are requested to interact with each and every Executive, explaining the Achievements, Progress and Status of the issues taken up by AIBSNLEA CHQ/Circle as listed below:

Achievements of AIBSNLEA as a Supporting Association after 1st Membership Verification

1. Mega Promotions- Mile Stone created in the History of DoT & BSNL- AIBSNLEA Vision and Positive approach benefited thousands of Executives by Promotion through CPCs, which is a Major breakthrough and Achievement of AIBSNLEA: Due to consistent untiring and dedicated efforts of AIBSNLEA, CPCs were conducted in all disciplines to fill up all the vacancies in almost all Cadres resulting about 14,000 Executives have been promoted in June-July, 2018 and Nov,2018 which has given a great relief and Morale booster to the Executives who were waiting for their promotions years together. It is a mile stone in the History of DOT and BSNL.

On the pretext of various pending Court cases, BSNL Management is not conducting CPCs. AIBSNLEA has written to the Management for the immediate filling up all the vacant JAG, STS Group ‘A’ & Group ‘B’ Grade posts in all disciplines in BSNL on Regular basis through CPCs before the implementation of the proposed VR Scheme and before any Notification of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy on the prospective date to avoid humiliation among the Sr. Executives.

AIBSNLEA is only Association persuaded and convinced the Management that CPCs in BSNL can also be conducted on the similar lines on which the other Departments are conducting the CPCs on the basis of Hon’ble Supreme Court’s Judgment in the case of Nagaraj on SC/ST roster implementation: BSNL Management considered our request and decided in the BSNL MC to initiate CPCs in all disciplines on the same line of other Departments. Mean-while Hon’ble Supreme Court also delivered the Judgment allowing SC/ST roster implementation in promotions which was also endorsed by DoPT. This further smoothens the way for conducting CPCs in BSNL. In the SDE(T) Promotions all the vacancies could not filled up due to the Court cases at Ernakulum and Chennai. Only 5237 JTOs were promoted as SDE in 2018.

2. 30% Superannuation benefits to directly recruited employees as per DPE guidelines: AIBSNLEA requested CMD BSNL, Director (HR/EB) and ED (Finance) to resolve superannuation benefits to directly recruited employees as per DPE guidelines and BSNL should contribute 12% as Superannuation Benefits in respect of Direct Recruits to fulfill the limit of 30% contribution. The remuneration committee of BSNL Board recommended to start a Superannuation benefit Trust to directly recruited BSNL employees with a contribution of 3% initially and further it can be reviewed on the basis of financial health of the Company. DoT issued the Presidential Directives in this regard and BSNL Management created a Trust and other formalities in this regard. On our persuasion BSNL Board has increased the contribution from 3% to 5% but we are continuously demanding 12% contribution. CMD BSNL assured to increase further 2% in the contributions to the Superannuation benefits by March, 2019 but remain pending due to Financial Crunch in BSNL. AIBSNLEA will continue its efforts in this regard.

3. JAO 2010 Batch option case: Due to hard and continuous persuasion with deep commitment and understanding of the issue results in getting released the order allowing JAO 2010 Batch (Departmental 40% Quota) to exercise their option for fixation of pay in the revised pay from the date of promotion in the grade of JAO, as one time dispensation.

4. Group Term Insurance for the BSNL Executives: It is our major achievement and relief for all the Young Comrades AIBSNLEA attended all the meetings with the Committee members constituted to discuss the methodology for induction of Group Term Insurance (GTI) for its executives. Implementation of GTI Scheme for BSNL Executives has been finalized & MoU between LIC & BSNL is finalized & signed between LIC & BSNL on 27.12.2019. The Scheme has already been implemented w.e.f. 01.03.2019 with annual Premium of Rs.9440/- for a coverage of Rs.50 lakh for all the Executives up to 50 years of age.

5. Reversion of 2001 Recruited JTOs Passed LDCE 2007: Due to AIBSNLEA continuous persuasion with the Management a Committee has been formed and Committee Report is likely to be placed before the Management. We will continue our efforts in this regard.

6. Rs. 22820/- Pay Fixation case of JTOs/JAOs post recruited 2007: AIBSNLEA along with AITEEA requested CMD BSNL for the removal of pay anomaly in this regard. Accepting our request CMD, BSNL constituted a Committee headed by PGM (PF) Smt. A. Panda to examine the issue and submit the report. We also gave presentation to the Committee and the Committee has submitted its report to the competent authority for consideration. We are pursuing with Director (HR) and CMD BSNL for the resolution of the issue. We have explained that already some Pay Anomaly Cases of JTOs 2005 batch, JAO 2010 batch and Asstt. of CSS cadre have been settled by BSNL Management. In the same line this issue also needs settlement but case remains pending.

7. Management Trainees Recruitment Rule-2009: AIBSNLEA consistent efforts yielded results in getting deferred MT Exam – 2015 but some Executives Associations and Non-Executives Unions are continuously making efforts for MT recruitment. Our considered opinion is that since young and talented executives having B Tech/M Tech, CA/ICWA, MBA qualifications at the level of JTO / SDE are available in BSNL, hence there should not be any lateral induction above JTO cadre. The lateral induction above the JTO cadre will block the career progression of these young talented executives available in BSNL. But the BSNL Management has further notified MT Recruitment from Internal Quota by conducted the exams on 17th March, 2019. Against this AIBSNELA has protested. Management has to scrap the MTRRs to provide smooth career progression to the existing executives of BSNL.

8. E1+ 5 increments benefit to JTOs/JAOs: Management Committee of the BSNL approved E1+5 increments benefits to JTOs/JAOs but it is pending for BSNL Board Approval, our efforts are continue.

9. Due to consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, the FR22(1)(a)(i) benefits extended to the Ex. Officiating JTOs w.e.f. 1.1..2007.

10. Withdrawal of Additional Increment in the same scale on functional promotion under EPP: DoT vide its letter dated 05.07.2017 withdraw additional Increment in the same scale on functional promotion under EPP. Against this, AIBSNLEA immediately filed an OA in the Hon’ble PB CAT New Delhi for quashing the order. Even after that, DoT continued to reduce the Pension of the BSNL retiree Executives, against this AIBSNLEA filed a Contempt Petition in the Hon’ble PB CAT New Delhi. Thereafter DoT stopped reducing the pension/ revising the Pay fixation by obtaining an under taking from the retiring executives, DoT has filed Writ Petition in the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi wherein AIBSNLEA has filed a caveat. The case was heard and Posted for next hearing in April 2020. Due to COVID-19 Lock down it is not yet heard.

11. AIBSNLEA is actively Participated in all the Agitation calls given by AUAB and regularly attending the meetings to discuss the issues related to the Revival Plan, Financial viability of BSNL, allocation of 4G spectrum to BSNL, Monetization of non-core Land, the issues of revision of Pay, Pension and Payment of pension contribution on actual basis instead of maximum of the pay scale, BSNL MRS etc. To get settled the demands, AUAB launched series of agitation calls including 3 days strike and March to Sanchar Bhawan etc., in all the Agitational Calls AIBSNLEA was in fore front and actively participated and succeeded by getting Revival Plan Approved by the Union Cabinet on 23.10.2019 with a) 4G spectrum and 18% GST free of cost, b) No financial implication for BSNL on VRS, c) Land monetization for loan repayment and development, d) Rs 8,500 Crore Bond for Restructuring of loan. Contentious issues like E2 & E3 Pay Scale will be settled before BSNL & MTNL Merger.

12. Tower Subsidiary formation: Govt. of India with the Union Cabinet approval dated 12.09.2017 has created a Subsidiary Tower Company fully owned BSNL. The company has been registered in the name BSNL Tower Corporation Ltd. on 04.01.2018. But, DoT arbitrarily appointed Shri Amit Yadav, JS (Admn), an IAS officer, as the CMD of the Subsidiary Company which created apprehension that Govt. may any time sell out the Subsidiary Company through strategic business partner. Against this, AUAB protested organizationally and decided to protest legally also. Accordingly, AIBSNLEA filed a case in the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi resulting BTCL still not in operation.

13. Pension Contribution on Acutal basic Pay instead of Maximum of the Pay Scale: AIBSNLEA continuously pursuing with DoT, DoPT and Dept of Expenditure for the Pension contribution on actual basic pay instead of maximum of the pay scales as per F.R 116.

14. Modification in BSNL MSRR regarding Pay fixation from E5 to E6 to DGM (Adhoc): AIBSNLEA succeeded in getting approved from BSNL Board the modification in BSNL MSRR regarding Pay fixation from E5 to E6 to DGM (Adhoc). Many stagnating Executives are benefitted by this.

15. Promotion from DGM (Adhoc) to DGM (Regular): Due to consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, Promotion Orders have been issued from DGM-Adhoc to Regular. It is the AIBSNLEA Achievement i.e. 1st time in the history of BSNL.

16. Centralization of TR Activities: We strongly protested against the decision of the BSNL Management to transfer all TR work to Circle Office and requested that it has to be reviewed immediately as it is not practical. We suggested that for very small SSAs, it can be centralized at BA level but medium and larger SSAs, TR work should be continued with the SSA for effective bill collection and persuasion, settling of billing related complaints, Outstanding Pursuit, handling of EB Customers etc., Management is very much convinced on our suggestions and assured to review the policy.

17. SLA based Outsourcing of CFA and OFC works: Management has already issued orders for the SLA based Outsourcing of works. In most of the SSAs, EOI are not finalized and manipulations by the Contractors are being reported from many places because of the Clusters and Operation & Mtce., is not monitored and maintained properly. We continuously provided the feedback to the Management in this regard.

18. e-DPC/e-APAR: AIBSNLEA has taken up the issue of early conduction of DPC through e-DPC resulting e-APAR got introduced in BSNL in February’ 2017 in ERP Module for the year 2016-17 for streamlining e-DPC related work. As a result, e-DPC was introduced and successfully conducted for DGM (T) Promotion in Feb.’ 2020.

19. 3rd PRC Implementation with full fitment benefit: We could convince the BSNL full Board resulting it has been recommended by BSNL Board with 15% fitment for the Executives. Due to performing continuous losses by BSNL, the recommendation is pending for seeking relaxation on Affordability Clause in DoT.

20. Standard Pay scale of E2 and E3: AIBSNLEA will continue its efforts to get implemented the BSNL’s earlier proposal sent to DoT on 06.06.2016 and 12.06.2017 to provide justice to all the Executives in order to remove their Pay Anomaly and Stagnation. DoT referred the case to DoE and DPE for the clarification to introduce parallel Pay Scales of E1A and E2A in BSNL but DPE and DoE has replied that it is the prerogative of the Administrative Ministry/ PSU to decide the Pay Scales of Executives in the Pay Band available.

21. Govt. funding for Ex-Gratia on VRS: AIBSNLEA demand of payment of Ex-Gratia to the VRS optees by the Govt. from Budgetary Support instead of raising Bonds by BSNL has also been accepted finally.

22. Withdrawal of ambiguous CDR IPMS Score Card for CFA Segment.

23. Implementation of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy - Change of Designations on each Time Bound up-gradation on functional basis: On our persuasion, Management Committee of BSNL Board directed PGM Pers. to discuss and take the views of all the Stake holder Executive Associations and thereafter bring to BSNL MC for clearance. Accordingly, PGM (Pers) conducted meetings with all the Stake holders, wherein AIBSNLEA submitted its views/suggestions emphasizing the implementation of Khan Committee report in true sense i.e. Time Bound Non-Post Based functional promotions should be available up-to AGM level, senior SDE should not be inducted as functional post, all AGMs/ CAOs completed 4 years of regular service should be designated as Jt. DGM and the bench mark for promotions should be on numerical basis to minimize the droppings, the residency period from SDE to DE / AO to CAO should be 5 years instead of 12 years, reference point for implementation of CPSU CH should be date of last CPC conducted or the year of Recruitment and implementation of SC/ST roster as per DOPT instructions etc. Among these suggestions, Management considered some suggestions i.e. Time Bound Non-Post Based functional promotions made available up-to AGM level, AGMs/ CAOs completed 4 years of regular service are to be designated as Jt. DGM and the bench mark for promotions are on numerical basis. AIBSNLEA efforts are continuing for the consideration of remaining suggestions i.e. senior SDE should not be inducted as functional post, the residency period from SDE to DE / AO to CAO should be 7 years instead of 12 years and implementation of SC/ST roster as per DOPT instructions etc. BSNL Board has approved the CPSU CH w.e.f. 01.07.2018.

It is learnt that the Committee meeting held today under the chairmanship of CGM(Legal) and discussions are positive. We are continuously  interacting with the Committee members i.e. CGM(Legal)-Chairman Committee  and Sr GM(Estt) and submitting our feedback on the issue to them.

11.06.2020Meeting with Shri P K Purwar, CMD/BSNL on 10.06.2020:

In continuation of the Agenda meeting with Director(HR) on 09.06.2020, General Secretaries of AIBSNLEA & SNEA  AGS/AIBSNLEA, President/SNEA and AGS of SNEA  met CMD/BSNL and had detailed discussions on promotion to different Grades through CPSU Hierarchy and other important issues.

1. Regular Promotion to different Grades: After his take over, first time CMD has given time for a detailed discussions on the Promotion Policy and its implementation.

We explained to CMD that the new Promotion Policy of Non post based Time Bound functional promotion, approved by the Board is part of the Terms and condition for absorption in BSNL. All other CPSUs are following Time Bound functional promotions, very smoothly. When EPP 2007 implemented, BSNL diluted it and allowed only Pay Scale up gradation and continued with Post based promotions followed in Govt Depts. This resulted in Seniority and Reservation cases. BSNLMS RR has been notified in 2009 only, which is  another 10 years loss for BSNL Executives.

As per the new Promotion Policy approved by the BSNL Board, Promotions are due from 01.07.2018, but the implementation is unduly delayed. For its smooth implementation from 01.07.2018, all the vacancies have been filled up in June, 2018. To overcome the court cases, upgradtion of posts done for AO and AGM promotions. Unfortunately, the court cases on reservation related issues landed AO and AGM promotions in trouble and Hon’ble Chandigarh CAT declared AO and AGM promotions issued during June 2018 as provisional putting a big question mark on the above said Promotions orders issued in June 2018 and future promotions. Any Post based promotion will end up in such litigations, we are afraid.  

On the query from CMD on the reference to DoT, we explained that it has been sent to DoT for guidance, not for approval. As per DoT instructions, issues having financial implications only to be referred to DoT for concurrence/approval. If at all any guidance is received on the reservation matter, it will be applicable from the date of effect and as such there is no need for delaying the promotion, we told. Govt guidelines from time to time will be applicable on BSNL.

After VRS, more changes are to be made, especially for promotion to AGM/CAO Grade by reducing the residency period from 12 to 8 years for the existing SDE/AOs etc in higher scales. Since thousands of Executives are eagerly waiting for promotion, we requested to implement the promotions at the earliest. JTOs in all Streams are worst affected, 1999 rect to 2014 rect JTOs are waiting for promotion. We informed the CMD about the  details of meeting held with DIR(HR) and the proposed presentation to the Board members.

CMD assured that promotion to different Grades will be taken up on priority and will hold further discussion on the matter with the concerned officers.

We requested for DGM(Adhoc) to DGM(Regular) promotion and relaxing the qualifying service for DGM (Telecom/Fin) as a onetime measure.

2. 4G Tender and BTS upgradtion: CMD seems to be very upset over the developments. CMD informed that whatever possible from his side is doing to get the clearance from the Govt. Since it is linked with Govt policy, decision is to be taken at higher political level.

3. Various pending payments and payment of Superannuation Fund contribution: CMD informed that about 550 Cr due towards Society payments cleared in this month. As usual Priority is given for maintenance and release of funds for various heads, electricity, rent, labour etc., For Superannuation Fund, 67 Cr is required and Management is trying to arrange the same. According to fund availability, May 2020 Salary disbursement is possible after one  week. On medical bills, CMD informed that some payment will be made in June salary.

10.06.2020: Agenda meeting with Shri Arvind Vadnerkar, Director(HR) and HR team on 09.06.2020.

PGM(Pers), Sr GM(Estt), GM(SR) and GM(Restg) also present in the meeting. Com S Sivakumar, GS/AIBSNLEA, Com Sebastin K, GS/SNEA, Com Rajpal, AGS/AIBSNLEA  and  Com A.A Khan, President/SNEA  participated in the meeting. The meeting went on for more than three and half hours.

Brief of meeting:

a) Regular promotions to all Grades for all the eligible Executives instead of LA arrangement. There is no financial implications for promotions:

In the last meeting held on 05.05.2020, it was concluded that due to court cases and reservation related issues, implementation of Non-post based Time Bound promotion policy OR CPSU Hierarchy approved by the BSNL Board on 28.05.2018 will be expedited and Pers. section will work out on that. We explained that due to various court cases, promotions are held up for years together and to overcome that, CPSU Hierarchy is approved by the BSNL Board on 28.05.2018. It is as per the terms and conditions mentioned in the Presidential orders issued to the Executives at the time of absorption in BSNL. The promotion orders issued in June, 2018 also under litigations and Hon CAT/Chandigarh declared the AO and DE promotions PROVISIONAL and directed BSNL to review the promotions. JTO to SDE promotion also under litigation at CAT/Ernakulam. Hence no other option left for BSNL to give promotions.

We were very firm on our demand for promotion w.e.f. 01.07.2018 itself as it will ensure parity in promotions and protect the seniority with those promoted in June 2018 and counting of 2 years service for the future promotions. Due to litigations, JTO to SDE promotion is pending since 2011 except some promotion in 2018. Almost all the promotions held up between 2015 to 2018 due to reservation issue. To compensate those damages, Management itself proposed CPSU Hierarchy w.e.f. 01.01.2017 itself but Board approved it w.e.f 28.05.2018. We explained that earlier also, EPP and SDE RR amendment etc., implemented retrospectively. i) EPP approved and notified on 18.01.2007 but implemented from 01.10.2000 onwards with all consequential benefits from 01.10.2004. ii) SDE RR amendment notified on 08.05.2018, effectively from 28.08.2015, the Board approval date.

BSNLMS RR notified in 2009 and promotion to AGM/CAO/EE grade given after 10 years of BSNL formation.

Under the same Administrative Ministry (DoT), TCIL and BBNL is giving promotions through Non-post based Time Bound promotion OR CPSU Hierarchy.

On the reference to DoT, DIR(HR) got it clarified from the letter sent to DoT that BSNL is seeking only guidance from DoT, not approval OR concurrence.

We categorically told the Management that Look After arrangement cannot be continued like this and the Executives are to be given Regular promotion. Otherwise, in the near future, we will be forced to make appeal to our members not to accept LA promotion which will create operational issues in the field.

Finally after detailed discussion, it is decided that Director (HR) will brief the CMD and other Board members about the policy approved by the Board and the need for its implementation as no other option left for BSNL to give promotions. A presentation will be given to the Management Committee of the Board on the policy in 2 weeks time as all Board members are new.

b) DGM(T/F) Adhoc to DGM(T/F) Regular promotion. Relaxation in qualifying service for DGM(T) and DGM(F) promotion as the Executives are already working as DGM on LA basis:

On DGM(T/F) Adhoc to Regular promotion, we demanded their regular promotion. Now the number of vacancies are much higher than the eligible AGM/CAOs. On DGM(T) Adhoc to Regular promotion, Management informed about the seniority revision and legal aspects will be examined for giving regular promotion. Since there is no seniority issue, DGM(F) Adhoc to Regular promotion may be processed.

Due to abnormal delay in promotions to AGM and CAO Grades, sufficient AGM and CAOs are not available for promotion to DGM Grade. More than 90% of the posts are lying vacant. At the same time Management utilising their service as DGM by LA arrangement. We demanded their regular promotion as DGM by relaxing the qualifying service. Al of them got sufficient experience as AGM/CAO by LA/Officiating/regular service. Management accepted that there is operational requirement and in principle agreed our demand. Finalization of number of DGM posts through Restg., will be finalized by this month end. Thereafter proposal will be moved.

c) Agenda meeting for Non recognized Associations:

We strongly objected the Management action and told DIR(HR) that there is no need for Membership Verification at all as there is no distinction between Recognized/ applicant /non-applicant Assns. All are given meetings even on Policy matters and Management is using them against the Recognized Associations making Membership Verification and Recognition Rules irrelevant. The very purpose of Membership Verification was to end multiplicity of Associations but it is defeated by the Management. Due to the Divide and Rule policy of the Management, resolution of the HR issues are getting delayed and the Executives are suffering.

Management explained that no Agenda meeting is given to any other Association other than Recognised Association. All the meetings given to other Associations are only informal. It will be taken only as a feedback to the Management. On important matters and Policy matters, Management will consider the opinion of the Recognised Associations only, as per the Recognition Rules.

d) Hike in SAB contribution and payment of SAB contribution:

We demanded hike in Superannuation Benefits (SAB) contribution as assured by the Management earlier and payment of SAB contribution to LIC from August, 2019 onwards. SAB is the Social Security for the BSNL directly recruited employees and it has to be given top most priority after Salary, we demanded. Since the SAB contribution payment to LIC is pending, the VRS optees retirement claim from Superannuation Fund also not settled so far.

On pending payment of SAB contribution, Management agreed to take up with the concerned. Hike in SAB contribution will be examined by the Management, it is assured.

e) Pending Modification in DGM(T) promotions – majority of them worked outside the  Home Circle and came back after 3 years:

We explained that as AGMs they were worked outside the Home Circle and came back to their Home Circle after 3 years. Again on DGM promotion, they have been transferred out from their Home Circle. As all are worked outside, they may be posted in the same Circle itself. Management informed that the cases will be considered.  

f) Reversion of 2001 Rect JTOs promoted as SDEs in LDCE 2007:

We requested to complete the process in a combined manner and a meeting with the Committee at the earliest. After discussions, it is decided to have the Committee meeting this week itself.

05.06.2020 Meeting with Shri Arun Kumar, PGM(Pers) on 03.06.2020,04.06.2020 and 05.06.2020 regarding implementation of Non-post based Time Bound Functional Promotion or CPSU Hierarchy.

General Secretaries of  AIBSNLEA and SNEA, Com.Rajpal, AGS/AIBSNLEA and President and AGS of SNEA  met PGM(Pers) on 03.06.20, 04.06.20 and 05.06.20 and had series of discussions on promotion to different Grades through implementation of Non post based Time Bound Functional promotion OR CPSU Hierarchy. This will be the only viable option/solution to give promotion due to court cases on reservation and seniority, we stressed.

We explained the importance of date of implementation as 01.07.2018, otherwise all the eligible Executives will loose 2 years of service and it will have serious implications for their future promotions. The Executives in higher scales will be placed in the next higher Grade without fresh DPC as a onetime measure. In Post VRS scenario, more changes are required for promotion to AGM/CAO Grade by reducing the residency period to 8 years for the existing SDE/AOs etc., working in higher scales. Since thousands of Executives are eagerly waiting for promotion, we demanded that the changes are to be made immediately after its implementation from 01.07.2018.

DGM(Adhoc) to DGM(Regular) promotion in Telecom/Finance Stream, relaxation in qualifying service for DGM promotion etc.,  also discussed.

04.06.2020 Meeting with Shri S K Gupta, Director (Fin) on 03.06.2020

General Secretaries of AIBSNLEA and SNEA and President/SNEA met DIR (Fin) and had discussions on the following issues:

1. Fund availability and payments: We draw the attention of the Director (Fin) regarding various pending payments like labour, Rentals, SAB dues etc. The labour payment is due for more than one year. Director (Fin) informed that the cash collection improved during May 2020 and BSNL could collect Rs 1,400 Cr. The cash collection during April 2020 was Rs.1,150 Cr only. First priority will be for allotment of funds for maintenance and Statutory payments. For labour payments, 15Cr will be allotted today (03.06.20), DIR (Fin) informed. Regarding May, 2020 Salary disbursement, it may be feasible next week end.

2. Promotions to various Cadres: We draw his attention to the huge stagnation and shortage of Executives in many Cadres and sought his intervention. The Executives are working in higher scales and they can be promoted as per the policy approved by the BSNL Board within no time. DIR(Fin) also felt that major works are getting suffered due to shortage in Key posts and assured to discuss with DIR(HR) for early promotions.

3. Drastic post reduction: We strongly protested against the decision of the BSNL Management to transfer all TR work to Circle Office and requested that it has to be reviewed immediately as it is not feasible. We suggested that for very small SSAs, it can be centralised but medium and larger SSAs TR work to be continued with the SSA for effective bill collection and persuasion, settling of billing related complaints, Outstanding Pursuit, handling of EB Customers etc., DIR(Fin) very much convinced on our suggestions and noted down all the points and assured to discuss with DIR(CFA) and CMD. In this regard, AIBSNLEA has already written a letter to CMD BSNL with a copy to Director (Finance) for review the policy.

<<<Click here for letter>>>

4. SAB dues payment to LIC: We brought to the notice of DIR (Fin) that SAB dues payment to LIC is pending since August 2019. Some VRS optees cases also not settled as the dues are not paid to LIC. We demanded immediate payment of contribution to LIC. DIR(Fin) assured to examine the matter and do the needful.

5. Monthly Review Meeting with Recognized Associations and Unions: We appraised DIR (Fin) about the meeting of Recognized Assns. and Unions with CMD and sharing of Monthly Revenue and Expenditure details with the Stake Holders and monthly review meeting with the Recognized Assns. and Unions so as to improve the efficiency of the Company and maximisation of Revenue and controlling of unnecessary expenditure. DIR(Fin) appreciated our concern and mentioned that  the Management is reviewing the monthly revenue and expenditure and planning for Revenue Maximisation and he assured that after the completion of the work it will be shared with Stake Holders for discussion.

6. Consideration of Request transfers of Accounts Personnel from BSNL CO to their Home Circles: Dir(Fin) mentioned that those who are opted for BSNL CO will be posted to BSNL CO as substitutes for the Accounts Personnel requested for transfer to their Home Circles and assured that the Accounts Personnel will be relieved from the BSNL CO after the lifting of COVID-19 Lockdown. 

General Secretaries of AIBSNLEA and SNEA, President and AGS/SNEA met the new Director(EB) as an introductory meeting. We welcome him, extended our full support and wished all the success in the new assignment as the Director (EB). We draw his attention about the EB circuits and need for some concession to the customers during lockdown period. Dir(EB) is of the opinion that instead of giving rebate centrally, we will delegate the Powers to the CGMs to decide the matter case to case basis.

04.06.2020 Meeting with Shri Arun Kumar, PGM(Pers) on 03.06.2020

General Secretaries of AIBSNLEA and SNEA, President and AGS/SNEA met PGM (Pers) and had discussions regarding promotion to different Grades through designation change for those who are working in higher scales or CPSU Hierarchy, DGM (Adhoc) to DGM (Regular) promotion in Telecom & Finance Stream, review of sanctioned strength due to VRS etc. PGM informed that discussion is going on with DIR (HR) on these issues, meeting was inconclusive and further discussion will continue.

27-05-2020:Meeting with Shri Arvind Vadnerkar, Director (HR) on 27.05.2020

General Secretaries of AIBSNLEA and SNEA and AGS/SNEA met DIR (HR) and had a brief review of the developments on promotion to different Grades, in continuation to the discussions held on 05.05.2020.

On implementation of promotion policy, DIR(HR) informed that PGM(Pers) is seriously working on it. This can be the only viable option to give promotion due to court cases and reservation, Director opined. We explained the relevance of date of implementation as 01.07.2018, otherwise all the eligible Executives will lose 2 years of service and it will have serious implications for their future promotions. Already eligible Executives are not available for promotion to the higher grades. After VRS scenario, some more changes can be made, especially promotion to AGM/CAO Grade by reducing the residency period from 12 years for the existing SDEs/AOs in higher scales. Since thousands of Executives are eagerly waiting for promotion, we requested to consider the changes after the implementation, by taking the proposal to the Board for approval. DIR (HR) was positive on further improvements. The concern over reservation can be overcome by incorporating the Board direction on reservation in the policy to make it in compliance with Govt policy. Further discussions will be held next Tuesday or Wednesday as PGM(Pers) will complete the assigned job by this week. After that DIR(HR) assured to take it to CMD.

On the proposed move to drastically reduce the AGM+DGM posts and other posts, we objected strongly. DIR(HR) reiterated that discussions will be held with the Associations before taking any decision. After completion of discussion within the Management, discussions will be held with the Assns.

On the review of sanctioned strength due to VRS, we suggested to distribute the upgraded AO and AGM posts among the Circles.

We requested for DGM(Regular) promotion for those already working as DGM(Adhoc) in the Telecom/Finance Stream.

On reversion of the 2001 rect JTOs passed the LDCE 2007, next meeting with the Committee will be arranged next week. We expressed our gratitude for finalising the TOR which can address the issue.

27-05-2020:Meeting with Shri Arun Kumar, PGM(Pers) on 27.05.2020:

General Secretaries of AIBSNLEA and SNEA and AGS/SNEA met PGM(Pers) and had discussions on promotion to different Grades through implementation of CPSU Hierarchy, DGM(Adhoc) to DGM(Regular) promotion in Telecom/Finance Stream, review of sanctioned strength due to VRS, 2001 rect JTOs passed the LDCE 2007 etc.

PGM informed that as per the direction of DIR (HR), he is studying the policy and it will be completed by next Monday. Discussions held on various aspects like Date of implementation, Promotion without DPC for the Executives working in higher scales, incorporating the Board direction on reservation to make it compliance with Govt policy etc. In the post VRS scenario we can make further improvements as the eligible executives number has come down drastically, we suggested.

Further discussions held on review of sanctioned strength due to VRS,   DGM(Adhoc) to DGM(Regular) promotion in Telecom/Finance Stream, 2001 rect JTOs passed the LDCE 2007 etc.

26-05-2020:Terms Of Reference (TOR) of the committee announced:

During the discussion with the Committee members by both GSs regarding the issue of reversion of 2001 Rect JTOs passed the LDCE 2007, Committee members informed that they are waiting for the Terms Of Reference of the Committee. We brought this to the notice of DIR(HR) and PGM(Pers), next day itself.

We requested to include: examining the eligibility of 2001 rect JTOs passed the LDCE 2007 with reference to SDE RR 2002 and the clarifications issued with reference to LDCE 2007. Now BSNL CO issued the TOR as we suggested. The focus is on resolving 2001  rect issue, segregating them from 2002 rect JTOs.

It is a great breakthrough in the case. So far the eligibility was examined by BSNL and the court cases defended based on the 30.07.2010 clarification issued during LDCE 2010 and the clarifications issued on 16.04.2007 and 10.07.2007 during LDCE 2007was not at all considered or produced in the court.<<<Click here for the term of reference>>>

25-05-2020:Drastic cut in number of posts on the anvil in the name of Restructuring:

It is learned that through Restructuring and Review of Assets, BSNL Management  is considering drastic reduction in the combined strength of AGM and DGM equivalent Grades in all the Streams (Telecom, Finance, Civil, Electrical, Arch, TF, PPS and CSS) and AGM+DGM number in all the Streams combined together will be about 3300 – 3500. The present combined sanctioned strength of AGM+DGM is 8953. In other words, drastic reduction of posts proposed, by about 65%. The final figure will be divided in some ratio between AGM and DGM. If it happens, then it will stop almost all the promotions to AGM and DGM Grade in all Streams as we are apprehending.

This is in the name of Restg. and M/s Deloittee recommendation. The same Consultant M/s Deloittee, in 2014, recommended an increase in the number of AGM (T) posts from 5303 to 6172 and DGM(T) posts from 1331 to 1607. After 6 years, the same Consultant makes recommendation for drastic reduction of posts. This establish that the Consultant is acting on behalf of the Management and what Management  requires, that report  is given by the Consultant, without making any Work Study.

Similar cut in the number of posts can be anticipated in other Grades also (SDE/AO and JTO/JAO equivalents). The provisional norms issued in December, 2019 by Restg. cell indicates that the Circles can work out the revised sanctioned strength of the Circle based on that provisional norms and find out the revised strength.

We may have to go for strong organizational actions in the near future if Management is not coming forward and discussing and settling the matter.

Management is dragging the Promotions to complete the Restg. process, making assurances one after another. Restrg. should not take away the Promotional avenues of the Executives working in BSNL. On review of the Assets, large number of posts will be surrendered in addition to the posts surrendered due to VRS. Knowing the adverse effect of Restg. on Post based promotions, we are insisting for Non-post based Time Bound functional promotion in all the Streams.

AIBSNLEA WISH ONE AND ALL

A HAPPY RAMZAN

22-05-2020:Today GS AIBSNLEA Com.S.Sivakumar discussed with Shri P.K.Sinha, Member(Finance), DoT about the payment of balance amount(17%) of Ist installment and 50% of IInd installment of  Ex-Gratia.

GS also enquired about the latest order of Department of Expenditure to spend only 15% of allotted Funds in the first quarter ending 30.6.2020. Member Finance mentioned that the Ex-gratia Payment Funds have been allotted to DoT as per the approval of the Cabinet Decision and hence we will not have any problem to release the balance amount of 17% of Ist installment and 50% of IInd installment of  Ex-Gratia, as per the assurance given i.e., before the end of June, 2020. Member (Fin) further mentioned that there is a meeting scheduled on 26.5.2020 with the  Expenditure Secretary and Senior Officers of Finance Ministry to discuss in this regard. He hope that positive decision will be taken in this meeting to release the balance Ex-Gratia payment before the end of June, 2020 on the basis of the Cabinet Decision.

It is also learnt that DoT has instructed BSNL to release the amount of Society dues recovered from the VRS Retirees before the payment of balance amount Ex-Gratia payment.

20-05-2020:Meeting with the Committee dealing with the Reversion of 2001 rect.JTOs passed the LDCE 2007 and become SDE in 2008:

As reported yesterday, the meeting with the Committee comprising Shri H C Pant, CGM(Legal), Shri Arun Kumar, PGM(Pers) and Shri Sourabh Tyagi, Sr GM(Estt) took place today (19.5.2020) at 4.00 PM. General Secretaries of AIBSNLEA and SNEA participated in the meeting. DIR (HR), BSNL board  arranged this combined meeting.

We demanded that the matter should be decided by examining their eligibility as per the provisions of Schedule 12, Note 5 of the SDE RR 2002 and with reference to the clarifications issued by BSNLCO dated 16.04.2007 and 10.07.2007 in connection with LDCE 2007 Notification dated 09.02.2007. So far, the eligibility was examined with reference to BSNL CO clarification dated 30.07.2010, issued for the subsequent LDCE 2010. The clarification implemented retrospectively, 3 years after the conduction of LDCE and Promotion orders. The Show Cause Notice and other actions taken against 2001 recruited JTOs based on BSNL CO clarification dated 30.07.2010 should be withdrawn, we demanded.

The file notings of 2007 and the clarifications dated 16.04.2007 and 10.07.2007 makes it clear that 1 year relaxation is applicable for LDCE 2007.

For deciding Senior-Junior clause, the All India Eligibility list of JTOs to be reckoned, it was decided in 2007 which is very well clear from the file notings. Hence all the 2001 rects. of TN Circle become eligible.

All Circles (A&N, AP&TL, AS, BR, CHG, CHTD, GUJ, HP, JKD, KRL, KTK, MH, MP, NE- I, NTR, RAJ, UPE, TN and WB)  interpreted the clarification in the positive manner and allowed all the 2001 recruited JTOs who completed 2 years of Service.

There is no direction from any Courts to revert the 2001 rect. JTOs, we argued. In various Courts, the dispute was whether the eligibility is to be decided as on 1^st July of the Vacancy Year OR 1^st July of the Year of Examination, in which Court decided that it will be 1^st July of the Vacancy Year. In that case also 2001 rect. JTOs become eligible. Only 2002 rect. JTOs appeared in the LDCE 2007 become in-eligible as per the Court order.

The PCAT order based on BSNL clarification dated 30.07.2010 for LDCE 2010 was wrongly applied for LDCE 2007 also, which has created the problem.

The dispute occurred when BSNL issued Show Cause Notices to the 2001 Rect. JTOs, not completed the 3 years qualifying service for appearing in the LDCE, based on the BSNL CO clarification dated 30.07.2010 in a retrospective manner, citing Court orders on clarification dated 30.07.2010 and it is a clear violation of the clarifications issued in 2007. The clarification issued on 30.07.2010, after the conduction of the LDCE 2007 should be applicable prospectively, not retrospectively.

Finally we demanded to decide the matter based on the SDE RR and the clarifications issued on 16.04.2007 and 10.07.2007 and the file notings related to LDCE 2007. The Show Cause and reversion based on the Court order should be limited to 2002 rect. JTOs appeared in the LDCE, we emphasised.

The Committee made an important observation that the 30.07.2010 clarification cannot be given retrospective effect and for the LDCE held 3 years earlier, in 2007. However, they sought some time to go through the records and the various Court judgments which made BSNL to revert the SDEs.  

Both the General Secretaries will meet the Committee Members and the Director (HR) again after one week.

18-05-2020:Meeting with Shri Arvind Vadnerkar, DIR(HR) on 18.05.2020:

General Secretaries of AIBSNLEA  and SNEA  met DIR(HR) and held discussions about the progress in Promotions to various Grades as per the assurances given in the detailed  Agenda meeting with DIR(HR) on 05.05.2020. It was a follow up meeting.

DIR(HR) informed that he directed the PGM(Pers) to work out on the New Promotion Policy as it has come to the conclusion in the last meeting that Post based promotion is not at all feasible atleast for few years due to the Reservation issue. PGM(Pers) could come to office today after long break due to Nationwide Lockdown. We explained that irrespective of category, ST/SC/OC category Executives are waiting for promotion for years together. For example, 2001 recruited JTOs of SC and OC category and 2002 Rect JTOs of ST category are waiting for promotion to SDE Grade even after completion of 18 to 19 years of service. But as per the New policy, all the JTOs completed 5 years of service, irrespective of ST/SC/OC category will get promotion.

We further explained the urgency for issuing promotion as in almost all the cadres, except AO cadre, more than 60% positions are vacant and in many important grades, it is more than 90%. In this situation how BSNL Revival is possible, we asked.  Director (HR) reassured early action in this regard.

On the Reversion of SDEs of 2007 LDCE, on our continuous pleadings to find out an early solution, Director(HR) arranged a meeting with the Committee on 19.05.2020, tomorrow itself at 4 PM.

AIBSNLEA CHQ extends

-05-2020:Meeting with Shri P K Purwar, CMD/BSNL and Shri S K Gupta, Director (Fin) on 12.05.2020:

General Secretaries of AIBSNLEA and SNEA met CMD/BSNL and discussed the following issues: 

A) 4G Tender, upgradation of BTSs etc.: CMD informed that there is no progress in both cases. Due to lock down, vendors are also not coming forward.

B) CMD is non committal on promotions: According to CMD, the restructuring may take another 6 months time. On promotion, CMD is of the opinion that it is delayed due to the Court cases and BSNL cannot be held responsible for that. We refuted the charge and told CMD that Court cases are increasing since Executives are not getting timely promotion and due to various infirmities in the RRs, procedures etc. The promotion Policy followed in BSNL is that of Govt Depts., not that of a CPSU. In other CPSUs, promotions upto certain scale is on time bound basis, when scale is given, it will be treated as functional promotion to that grade and no separate post based promotion is followed. So, Seniority and Reservation related issues are not there in any other CPSU. To overcome this, BSNL already approved amendments to the EPP to give functional promotion to the scale upto AGM/CAO/EE Grade in of E4 scale.

We briefed him about the discussions held with Director (HR) and the HR team few days back and the conclusion that due to the court cases related to Reservation, present form of promotion will not be possible before 2 to 3 years and Management will seriously work out for time bound functional promotion along with scale. Since Executives are already working in the scale, there is no additional financial implications is there for BSNL. We requested to expedite it to give promotion to all the eligible Executives.

However, CMD as usual, did not made any commitment on any type of promotion. It gives an impression that Management is not much serious or worried about regular promotions and they may try to continue with LA arrangement.

C) Payment of Medical bills pending since May, 2019 and going for Medi claim facility: We explained the difficulties faced by the employees for treatment. Since the bills are pending since May, 2019, majority of the good Hospitals are not extending treatment to BSNL employees. Since good hospitals are not in the panel, employees are not getting proper treatment. Management has to expedite the process of working out good Medical Insurance scheme, we demanded. CMD informed that the fund availability is the main problem and if lock down was not there, BSNL planned to clear the medical bills by April. For Medical Insurance also, BSNL require money and the present financial condition is not good and we are not in a position to make advance payment now. CMD mentioned that Salary and Mtce., Expenditure are the Company’s first priority and without releasing fund for Mtce., Revenue will not be generated. He further informed that when Salary payment itself is delayed, we cannot take advance payment immediately.

D) Insurance protection in view of the Covid-19: We demanded Special Insurance coverage for the employees as per MHA guidelines as Telecom is an essential service. CMD agreed to write to DoT to give compensation to BSNL employees treating it as an essential service.

E) Disbursement of Apr’2020 Salary: CMD informed that the present fund availability is about 200 Cr only and Statutory EPF payment is to be done from that.

Afterwards, we met Shri S K Gupta, Director (Fin) also and held discussions regarding fund availability, discussion with the Assns regarding restructuring and review of Sanctioned posts, Look after arrangements, relieving of Accounts Personnel who have completed Hard Tenure and the clarification sought by CGM/Kerala Circle in the name of restructuring.

05.05.2020 Agenda Meeting with Shri Arvind Vadnekar, Director(HR) on 05.05.2020:

General Secretaries of AIBSNLEA  and SNEA  had detailed Agenda meeting with the DIR(HR) on various important HR issues: Sr GM(Estt), GM(SR), GM (Restg) and DGM (Pers)  were present in the meeting. PGM(Pers) joined the meeting over phone. The deadlock situation in promotion to different cadres was the main issue. The discussion took place for more than two hours on the following Agenda points submitted to the management in advance.

a) Undue delay in regular promotions to all the eligible Executives: Even though there is no financial implication, Management is not taking any initiative for regular promotions. At the same time, continuing with Look after arrangement:

From Assn side, both GSs demanded promotion on Time Bound basis as there is no visibility for promotion through any other channel due to the various Supreme Court judgments on reservation. Since Executives are already working in higher scales, we demanded promotion which is just a designation change and no financial implications involved. Management is giving LA for the Executives working in the higher scales but not giving regular promotion. The Executives are not getting the benefit of promotion. We demanded regular promotion along with the Pay scales instead of LA promotion.

At the beginning, the possibility of DPC in different cadres explored by the management and discussed various options. On JTO to SDE promotion, initially management was of the impression that once the Ernakulam case is cleared, promotion is possible. Further management assessed the status of promotion in different cadres: i) JTO(Civil/Elect/Arch) to SDE(C/E/Arch) LDCE is held up due to court case on Reservation, ii) SDE(T) to DE(T) and JAO to AO promotion made in June 2018 challenged in the Hon’ble Chandigarh CAT on Reservation issue and the CAT ordered to review the promotions, declaring the promotion as PROVISIONAL, iii) AO to CAO Promotion held up due to court case on Reservation, iv) SDE(C) to EE(C) Promotion held up due to seniority issue among Diploma and Engg Degree holders. On DE (T) and AO promotions in 2018, Management is waiting for the judgement copy and the course of action is to be decided. Different options also discussed. In any case, DPC for DE and CAO is not possible before the review, Management informed that all the promotions are leading to fresh litigations. DoPT is not giving any direction regarding method of implementation of reservation or endorsing the Hon’ble Supreme Court order on reservation. DoPT asked BSNL to wait for the outcome of remaining SLPs pending in the Hon’ble Supreme Court, BSNL management informed us. In such situation, after taking various Supreme Court orders and the court cases going on into consideration, DIR(HR) come to the conclusion that in the near future, it may not be possible to give any promotion due to the reservation issue. Finally management informed us that for JTO to SDE promotion also, BSNL will not be able to decide due to the reservation issue and go for DPC even if Ernakulam judgment is coming.

When all other options closed, now Management started seriously thinking about the implementation of Time Bound functional promotion upto AGM Grade. Management informed us that they will work on it in the coming days and discussions will be held with us if required. Both GSs once again clearly told the Management that if the Management desires to give promotion, Time bound promotion is the only viable option and work for that.

b) Relaxation in Qualifying service for DGM(T) and DGM(F) promotion as the Executives are already working as DGM on LA basis:

Both GSs demanded relaxation of qualifying service of AGM and CAO for promotion to DGM(T/F). They were working on Officiating/LA basis, long time, before regular promotion in 2018 and having sufficient experience as AGM/CAO. Director also found merit in the case and want to address the huge shortage in DGM cadre. Finally it was assured that  the Management will explore the possibility for relaxation of the qualifying service for DGM(T/F) promotion by taking it to the Board.

c) Implementation of merger of Project/Maintenance Regions and TFs:

Both GSs expressed our serious concern for non implementation of the merger orders. The vehicle, staff and infra available with Project wing is underutilised. Limited staff and vehicle with the Regions are overburdened. Management informed that some Man power planning for Project/Mtce Region is going on and merger will be implemented.

On Telecom Factory, the orders are not implemented properly. So they are facing funding and other issues and the infrastructure is not getting utilised. It is assured to examine the matter by discussing with the concerned Officers.

d) Reversion of 2001 Rect JTOs passed the LDCE in 2008:

Both GSs explained the issue to the Director (HR). Management has to accept its own clarification issued at the time of LDCE 2007, then there is no issue remains, we informed  the Management. Management is of the opinion that it require some relaxations but we told them that no relaxation is required other than the one year relaxation extended to the seniors as per the RR. The Committee formed to examine the matter is asked to expedite and come out with the solution within this month.

e) Modification in DGM(T) promotions  as majority of them are worked outside the Circle and come back 3 years back:

Management agreed to consider it once the lock down is over.

Finally, Director (HR) concluded that Management is keen to give regular promotions and assured to go for the promotions in all the cadres at the earliest.

12.03.2020Meeting with PGM (Pers.) BSNL CO: GS along with CS HP Circle and CS & CP Raj Circle met PGM (Pers.) CO BSNL today and discussed regarding:

(1) Consideration of request transfers/retention/modification of transfer orders in the Cadre of DGM(T)/SDE/AO:- We requested PGM (Pers.) to consider the request transfers/retention/modification of transfer orders in the Cadre of DGM (T)/SDE/AO. After detailed discussion, PGM (Pers.) assured to consider the same.

(2) Extension of option for Pay Fixation in respect of JAOs (Departmental) (10% Quota) of 2010 Batch: We appraised PGM (Pers.) regarding the discussion had with the Director (Finance) for the issue of amendment to BSNL CO letter No: 7-4/2010-SEA-BSNL(Pt-I) Dated 24.07.2015 regarding the extension of option for Pay Fixation in respect of JAOs (Departmental) (10% Quota) of 2010 Batch as in the case of JAOs 40% quota (Deptl.) of the same batch. PGM (Pers.) assured to look into the matter.

(3) Casting of SDE seniority list No.9 for DE(T ) Promotions: We requested for the early issuance of list No 9 of SDE Seniority list. In this regard, we appraised PGM (Pers.) regarding our earlier discussions and suggestions prepared as per the judgment pronounced by Hon’ble CAT Chandigarh, dated 25.08.2009, upheld by the Hon’ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana and also by the Apex Court (3 Judges Bench) on the basis of date of joining i.e., in respect of SDEs promoted up to 28.08.2015 that the provisional Seniority should be prepared on the basis of the above mentioned Judgements. PGM (Pers.) informed that the case has been sent to Legal Cell for obtaining Legal Opinion.

(4) Issuance of immediate promotions for all the disciplines in view of VRS-2019: Considering the huge vacuum created in almost all the Cadres, the vacant posts are to be filled up on immediate basis to maintain the BSNL Network fault free. We requested to conduct the CPCs immediately for the various Cadres wherever no Court Cases are pending by relaxing the eligibility conditions as one time measure, wherever required. We further pleaded that since the Executives are drawing higher Pay Scales than their Substantive Post through TBU under EPP, so just by giving re-designation, promotions can be effected. PGM (Pers.) after detailed discussion confirmed that the Management is evolving the Policy to fill up all the vacant posts in all the Cadres so as to maintain the Telecom Services fault free as well as the Administrative Offices.

12.03.2020Meeting with CGM (BW)/GM (SR) BSNL CO: GS and AGS along with CS HP Circle and CS & CP Raj Circle met CGM (BW)/GM (SR) CO BSNL today and discussed regarding:

Renting out of vacant building spaces in various Circles by accommodating the BSNL offices in the non-prime locations. CGM (BW) informed that our annual target for renting out vacant Building space is Rs.1000 cr. We have notified the vacant spaces on the basis of the feedback already received from all the Circles and the Powers have been delegated to CGMs/PGMs in this regard. CGM (BW) sought the fullest co-operation from the Associations and Unions to achieve the targets for increasing the desired revenue. He further mentioned that the details of the vacant Building spaces received from the Circles so far are being uploaded in the Google sheet. Associations/Unions will also see the same and if any left out vacant location is there in any Circle, the same may be brought to the Notice of CGM (BW).
