BSNL which was making profit earlier has gone at loss due to
wrong policies of the Government of India and it now started
turning around due to combined efforts of Employees and
Management. Under the Dynamic Leadership of our present CMD
Shri.Anupam Srivatsava, the Company has started upward
journey of reclaiming its rightful place in the midst of
extremely tough competitors.
Forum of BSNL Unions and Associations has conducted campaign
for promoting the newly introduced schemes which is never
and anywhere seen in any other PSUs, where executive and
non-executives going to market places, railway stations and
Bus stands. Now we are introducing the SWAS that is Service
with A Smile. Except BSNL, no other Executive or
Non-Executive Association of any PSU is telling its
employees to improve the services. The growth of mobile
connection in BSNL has been increased drastically as
compared to the private operators, which has made TRAI to
declare that BSNL is the fastest growing mobile company of
the country.
Due to the Combined efforts of the Employees and Management
BSNL Operating profit increased by six fold jump i.e., from
Rs.672 crore in the preceding year to Rs.3855 crore in
2015-16 and BSNL Revenue from operations rose 4.4 percent to
Rs.28,449 crore during the financial year ended March 2016.
There are positive signs of improvement. BSNL was number 1
once and due to various reasons, its positions had come
down. All the new technologies like NOFN, etc is helping
BSNL to improve. With such a aggressive market and
competition, the market share of BSNL as gone up. The
revenue from operation has been increased. Our Employees are
working hard to increase the revenue of BSNL. There are
virtual turn around going on in the organization. Kerala,
Maharashtra and Odissa Circle have earned Profit during F.Y
2016-17. Operating Profit of Tamil Nadu Circle has also been
increased during F.Y 2016-17 as compared to previous year.
Regarding the implementation 3rd Pay Revision
Committee Recommendation in BSNL with 15% fitment, BSNL is
not getting any financial support from the Govt. and
regulating the tariffs in Telecom Sector of the country.
BSNL has paid more than Rs. 2 lakh Crores to the Govt. in
terms of license fee, taxes dividend etc after its
inception. Against the notional loan of Rs. 7500 Crores,
BSNL has paid Rs.14000 Crores as interest @ 14.5% to DoT.
After its formation, BSNL has never been given any financial
support by the Govt. rather BSNL is implementing Govt.
prestigious projects for example NOFN, NFS, LWE, etc.
without getting much profit.
In 3rdPay
Revision Committee
report some relaxation in the affordability clause to some
specific PSUs have been recommended. On this basis, BSNL can
make a case to the Administrative Ministry i.e. DoT for
approval. As per the request of AIBSNLEA, a Committee has
been formed by the CMD BSNL to study the 3rd PRC
recommendations and submit its report. After the Approval of
BSNL Board the recommendation will be forwarded to the
Department of Telecommunications for approval and issuance
of Presidential Orders. AIBSNLEA is regularly perusing in
this regard.
AIBSNLEA CHQ has written so many letters to Hon'ble MOSC/Secretary
DOT/DPE /CMD BSNL and met them personally stating that as
per the Para 5 of the 3rd PRC committee
recommendations as per the Telecom Policy 1999, BSNL has
been formed to meet out the specific agenda of Government
of India. i.e. providing Telecom Services without any
budgetary support and BSNL is paying License Fee, Spectrum
charges, and other charges as per the order of the
Government of India from time to time deviating to the
agreed principles on 01/10/2000.
CMD BSNL and Hon. MOSC is also in favour of implementation
of the 3rd PRC in BSNL. Hon. MOSC is of the
opinion that the efforts and hard work should continue and
ensure that the turnaround continue.
Hon'ble MOSC categorically told in the Cabinet meeting that
3rd PRC implementation in BSNL in must for its
survival. CMD BSNL advised us to pursue in DoT and be
vigilant.
We urged our Members to take the responsibility of the
journey. It is the time to remain all the Unions and
Associations unite and make the BSNL to regain its original
glory and continue to process of revival.
Let all the BSNL Unions and Associations come together to
get implemented the 3rd PRC report in BSNL with
15% fitment benefit as a single and common demand through
negotiations or the decisive struggle keeping aside all the
differences at this crucial juncture.
It was also decided in recently concluded 2nd CWC

the BSNL's contribution from 3% in the superannuation

26.08.2017: Vindictive attitude

23.08.2017:
Misleading reporting by SNEA on CPSU Cadre hierarchy:-
SNEA on its CHQ website has put some
misleading information regarding their negotiation with
Management on CPSU Cadre hierarchy. The fact remains that in
the earlier updates of SNEA in its CHQ Website it never
mentioned about its stand on CPSU Cadre hierarchy and
discussions held with PGM (Pers.). SNEA always mentioned
that CPSU Cadre hierarchy is being implemented with the
efforts of them. The fact remains that PGM (Pers.) had
several rounds of meeting with SNEA before preparing the
draft proposal of CPSU hierarchy which he presented to CMD
BSNL in the presence of Director (HR) after the consent
given by SNEA wherein PGM (Pers.) pleaded non-post based
time bound promotions up to SDE/AO level only and post based
promotions DE/CAO onwards. This was not agreed by CMD BSNL
and Director (HR) and they directed PGM (Pers.) to modify
the proposal to provide non-post based time bound promotions
up to DE/CAO grade and post based promotions from DGM and
onwards grade. This fact was confirmed by PGM (Pers.) and
Director (HR) to AIBSNLEA in the recent informal meetings.
AIBSNLEA stand was always to implement CPSU Cadre hierarchy
as per the Khan Committee recommendation only. Now seeing
the developments and the stand taken by CMD BSNL and
Director (HR) on CPSU cadre hierarchy, SNEA is changing its
stand. However, it is good that good sins has prevailed to
them.

are being collected from the Circles. He assured as soon the
court stay order is vacated the CPC will be expedited. SLP
in the Hon'ble Apex court against the judgment of Hon'ble
High Court of Chandigarh has already been filed.
B. CPC from SDE to DE:
We requested to expedite the CPC from SDE to DE. Jt. GM (Pers.)
informed that the CPC work is in progress but recently
Hon'ble Supreme Court two judges bench judgment on SDEs LDCE
quota seniority has been pronounced in supersession to the
earlier judgment of three judge's bench of Hon'ble Supreme
Court. Legal opinion in this regard has been sought whether
the judgment can be implemented or an appeal is required to
be filed in Hon'ble Supreme Court. SLP in the Hon'ble Apex
court in against the judgment of Hon'ble High Court of
Chandigarh has already been filed on the SC/ST roaster

C. CPC from DE to DGM (E) left out
cases: We requested to issue

replies
Shri

General Secretary,
BSNL Employees Union, CHQ
in reference to his letter number
BSNLEU/103 (Forum) dated 10.08.2017
on the subject the need
of united struggles for the settlement of wage revision.
While appreciating his feelings
that the wage revision of BSNL employees is
must
GS has categorically mentioned that
DoT and Government should give a special
consideration to dispense the affordability clause of 3rd
PRC with reference to BSNL as it is discharging certain
important responsibilities on behalf of the Govt. of India
by implementing NOFN successfully, NFS and LWE projects
assigned to BSNL. BSNL also provides reliable telecom
services to customers during natural calamities in the
country on priority without getting any extra financial
support from the government. BSNL also governs the tariffs
in telecom sector and ensure telecom services on affordable
rates to the customers.
At present CMD BSNL along with complete BSNL
Board is making its sincere and honest efforts for the
implementation of 3rd PRC report in BSNL. Hon'ble
MoSC (I/C) is also of the same view and making efforts to
get the Govt. approval for dispension of the said
affordability clause of 3rd PRC report for BSNL.
In this connection as per our discussions held with CMD BSNL
on 09.08.2017, an internal committee of BSNL officers has
been constituted to explore the modalities for 3rd
PRC implementation in BSNL with 15% fitment benefit. The
committee meeting is over and the report is being submitted
shortly which will be placed before the Management committee
of BSNL and thereafter to the BSNL Board for approval. As
assured by CMD BSNL after the approval of BSNL Board, he
will take up the matter in DoT for its approval and issuance
of Presidential Directives.
In our opinion, we should closely monitor all
these developments and in case we find any difficulty at any
level in this regard then immediately we all BSNL Unions and
Associations should discuss and decide the strategy to
impress upon the DoT / Govt. for
3rd PRC implementation in BSNL through our
decisive struggle. We assure our fullest participation in
the struggle, if need be.

fee, taxes dividend etc after its inception. Against the
notional loan of Rs. 7500 Crores, BSNL has paid Rs.14000
Crores as interest amount only @ 14.5% to DoT. After its
formation, BSNL has never been given any financial support
by the Govt. rather BSNL is implementing Govt. prestigious
projects for example NOFN, NFS, LWE, etc. with out getting
much profit.
CMD BSNL further explained that Member (F) of DoT is of the
opinion that in case if the 3rd PRC report is
implemented in BSNL than BSNL will be closed with in three
years. But, in his opinion in case if the 3rd PRC
report is not implemented in BSNL than BSNL may be closed
with in three months time. The additional burden of Rs. 2800
Crores on implementation of 3rd PRC report with
full 15% fitment benefit in BSNL may be earned with the help
of all the BSNL employees but to save the Rs. 2800 Crores by
not implementing 3rd PRC report may give three
times loss to BSNL. In view of this Govt should consider 3rd
PRC implementation in BSNL. He advised all to work together
for the implementation of 3rd PRC report in BSNL
on proiority. He further
reiteriated that he is ready to resign from the post of CMD
BSNL in case if the 3rd PRC report is not
impelemnetd in BSNL. We further suggested him that first CMD
BSNL should get the approval of BSNL Board on 3rd
PRC implementation in BSNL and then sent to DoT for approval
thereafter only we will be able impress upon to DoT for its
implementation in BSNL.
Let all the BSNL Unions and Assocations come together to get
implemented the 3rd PRC report in BSNL with 15%
fitment benefit as a single and common demand through
negotiations or the decisive struggle keeping aside all the
differences at this crucial juncture.

some meeting by the Ex. Circle Secretary, Delhi Circle that
he has been advised by GS, AIBSNLEA to merge with SNEA and
with his approval he is merging AIBSNLEA with SNEA. Comrade
GS clarified that it was total misleading information by the
Ex. Circle Secretary to the members of AIBSNLEA. He

formations of adhoc circle body. GM (HR) during discussions
mentioned that here in NTR Circle, this impression has been
given that AIBSNLEA has been merged with SNEA. We clarified
him about the said mispleading information by some people.

Revision of Board level and below Board level Executives and
Non Unionised Supervisors of Central Public Sector
Enterprises (CPSEs) w.e.f. 01.01.2017-.....<<<Click

Implementation of 3rd PRC recommendations in BSNL-Process
in this regard…….
DPE has issued OM W-02/0028/2017-DPE (WC)-GL-XIII/17 dated 3rd
August, 2017 regarding Pay Revision of Board Level and below
Board Level executives and Non-Unionised Supervisors of
Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) w.e.f. 01.01/2017.
As per the presentation submitted by AIBSNLEA CHQ and
consistent efforts taken with the Hon'ble MOC , Secretary
Telecom, Secretary DPE, and CMD BSNL for the dispension in
the affordability clause for BSNL and extension of 3rd PRC
to BSNL Employees has now been reflected in DPE OM dated
03.08.2017.
In this regard, AIBSNLEA CHQ has written so many letters to
Hon'ble MOC/Secretary DOT/DPE /CMD BSNL and met them
personally stating that as per the Para 5 of the 3 PRC
committee recommendations as per the Telecom Policy 1999, BSNL
has been formed to meet out the specific agenda of
Government of India. i.e. providing Telecom Services without
any budgetary support and BSNL is paying License Fee,
Spectrum charges, and other charges as per the order of the
Government of India from time to time deviating to the
agreed principles on 01/10/2000.
A letter written by GS CHQ to Honorable MOC Shri Manoj Sinha
Ji on 08.06.2017
<<<Click here for GS AIBSNLEA
Letter>>>> has been furnished for the reference of
our members. The DPE OM dated 03/08/2017 vide Annexure-II
Para II of Page No 19 which is reproduced below.
Affordability to certain types of CPSEs:
b)The affordability condition shall also be applicable
to the CPSEs registered under Section 25 of the Companies
Act, 1956, or under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013
(which by the very nature of their business are not-for
profit companies) for implementation of the revised
compensation structure (including Performance Related Pay)
as being recommended for other CPSEs.
c)There are also certain CPSEs which have been formed
as independent Government companies under a statute to
perform a specific agenda / regulatory functions. The
revenue stream of such CPSEs are not linked to profits from
the open market in a competitive scenario but are governed
through the fees & charges, as prescribed and amended from
time to time by the Government. There is no budgetary
support provided by the Government to such CPSEs. In
consideration that the impact of the revised compensation
structure (including Performance Related Pay) would
supposedly form the part of revenue stream for such CPSEs,
the affordability condition shall not be applicable to these
CPSEs; however the implementation of same shall be subject
to the approval of Administrative Ministry upon agreeing and
ensuring to incorporate the impact of the revised
compensation structure into the revenue stream.
On the
basis of the above recommendations now BSNL Board has to
recommend implementation of 3rd PRC report with 15% fitment
benefit in BSNL and thereafter it has to be sent to DoT for
the approval and issuance of the Presidential Directives. We
have to impress upon BSNL Management in this regard for an
early Board approval and sending to DoT thereafter we have
to pursue in DoT for the approval of BSNL Board proposal and
early issuance of presidential directives.
Comrades,
as assured by CMD BSNL, the 3rd PRC recommendations has to
be approved by BSNL Board for its implementation in BSNL and
thereafter to get the approval of DoT for issuance of
Presidential Directives. We are confident that CMD BSNL
will fulfill his commitment in this regard. Let us,
concentrate on this issue and pursue vigorously for 3rd PRC
implementation in BSNL.

Formation of Adhoc Circle Body of AIBSNLEA Delhi Circle:
Consequent upon betrayer and
desertion of Circle Secretary, Circle President and some
Office Bearers of Delhi Circle, AIBSNLEA CHQ has formed an

fullest support to the newly appointed Circle Body. We
extend our sincere gratitude and thanks to all our members
of Delhi Circle who has helped in forming the Adhoc Circle
Body of Delhi Circle immediately.
AIBSNLEA exists and will
always exist with the support of its dedicated members.
The so called majority executive association has propagated
through their website that AIBSNLEA Delhi Circle have merged
with SNEA along with 200 members. It is totally false and
misleading. They should understand that their ulterior
motives to de-stabilize AIBSNLEA will never succeed.

(ii) (b) by 55 (A) wherein the job security assured by DoT
at the time of absorption in BSNL to the employees under
Rule 56 J & K has now been amended by BSNL Board is not
fair. CMD explained that it is for the people those who do
not at all work and contribute to BSNL they may be dealt

affect. We further told that this rule may be misused by
management with vengeance attitude. He told that will be

Status of 3rd PRC
notification by DPE:
DPE has send the minutes of the Cabinet Meeting held on
19.07.2017 to the Cabinet Secretariat for confirmation in
the last week. The confirmation of minutes is expected by
this week and thereafter the OM on notification of 3rd
PRC implementation may be issued by DPE in the next week.
After the notification of the OM the respective PSUs will
take decision regarding its implementation for their
executives. And, thereafter the respective PSUs will sent to
their respective administrative ministries for the approval
and issuance of Presidential Directives. In this manner
after the notification of DPE OM on 3rd PRC
implementation, BSNL Board will take the decision for its
implementation in BSNL for its executives and thereafter it
will be sent to DoT for approval and issuance of
Presidential Directives.
We have to see that notification of DPE OM is allowing BSNL
to implement 3rd PRC report or not. Whether the
Cabinet has empowered respective PSU Boards or
administrative ministries to give dispension in the
affordability clause as recommended earlier in the interim
report of 3rd PRC.
In case, the respective PSU Boards/ administrative ministry
are empowered by Cabinet for dispension in the affordability
condition of the PSU then it is the BSNL Board and
administrative ministry who can take decision immediately
for 3rd PRC implementation in BSNL for its
executives otherwise BSNL Board has to take up the matter
with the administrative ministry to take the Govt. approval
on dispension in the affordability clause for BSNL.
AIBSNLEA is monitoring all these
developments very closely and will decide the future course
of actions accordingly.

21.07.2017:AIBSNLEA
efforts for 3rd PRC implementation in BSNL:
AIBSNLEA CHQ have been making its best efforts in DoT /
Ministry/ DPE to conveyance the concern authorities for the
implementation of 3rd PRC in BSNL Accordingly the
facts are being informed to all concern through our CHQ
Website. As rightly reported by AIBSNLEA in the morning of
20.7.2017 in our CHQ Website the actual status and process
of 3rd PRC implementation in PSUs / BSNL was
later on confirmed by Shri Niteswar Kumar ji (IAS) PS to
Hon'ble MOSC in the meeting held with AIBSNLEA on 20.7.2017(
Evening). Hence , AIBSNLEA is correctly informing all the
developments on day to day basis to our members through
our CHQ web site and doing hard work to ensure 3rd
PRC Implementation in BSNL. But the so called Majority
Association instead of informing the actual status and truth
is creating hype in the minds of the Executives for which
the reasons are best known to them.
The actual process of 3rd PRC implementation is
that after the notification of 3rd PRC
implementation in PSUs for the Pay hike of Executives the
respective PSUs will take decision in their Board and will
send the proposal to the Administrative Ministry for the
issuance of the Presidential Directive. Similarly after DPE
notification of 3rd PRC recommendations, BSNL
Board will take the decision and will send to DOT for
approval and for issuance of Presidential Directives. Now in
the DPE notification it has to be seen that whether the
Administrative Ministry/Board of the PSUs have been
empowered by the Cabinet to allow dispension of the
“Affordability Clause"
of 3rd PRC report. In case Board/Administrative
Ministry is empowered then BSNL Board and DOT Administration
should implement the 3rd PRC in BSNL in the
interest of its Viability otherwise, we have to fight
organisationally.
Today GS contacted the concerned Officers of DPE with regard
to the Notification of 3rd PRC, it is understood
that the draft notification on cabinet approval has been
processed to the higher level Officers for approval. The
notification of 3rd PRC is expected in the next
week.
AIBSNLEA is committed for 3rd PRC implementation
and in case the BSNL Board/DOT Administration do not
implement it, in that case AIBSNLEA will never hesitate to
go on indefinite Strike. Let us watch the developments
closely and will take immediate organisational action, if
required at the appropriate time.

Meeting with PGM (Pers.) BSNL CO
(a) Filling-up vacant SDE, DE , DGM ,AO , CAO , DGM (F) SDE

Group 'B' and Group 'A' level by expediting the CPCs-
PGM (Pers.) mentioned that sincere efforts are being made to
