gratitude for making Jharkhand circle in operating profit.
He told that with the help of the present management most of
the problems were solved. Shri Sashi Prasad, CS addressed
the gathering and analyzed his success and failure for his
tenure periods.
Sri Prasun Kumar OS (East)
congratulated Jharkhand executives for making AIBSNLEA no. 1
in the last membership verification. He told that the actual
reason for the loss of BSNL, particularly the eastern region
circles are to be searched and the employees should not be
made responsible for that. The policy of the Govt. was
always implemented by BSNL particularly in war and natural
calamities. Still we were denied for the 3rd PRC by DOT.
Though BSNL is always giving the philanthropic services. He
expressed his serious concern for not getting any promotion
for 12-20 years whose only solution is CPSU cadre hierarchy
as per Khan Committee report but BSNL Management showing the
step motherly attitude. Now time has come for the united
struggle with all unions and associations with only one
point agenda of implementation of 3rd PRC.
Com S. Sivakumar, President (CHQ)
in his address explained the history how the E2-E3 issue was
dissolved in the management committee and 3% SA benefit was
obtained by the united struggle of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA. DGM
(E), DGM (F), EE, promotion order issued. Cadre hierarchy
was the brain child of united forum, which was finally
submitted by the Khan committee. We opposed MTRR from the
beginning, the activity of DOT on 3rd PRC is
beyond the principle and rules so united struggle is
required.
Com Prahlad Rai, GS
Congratulated Jharkhand Circle for arranging this conference
in a grand manner. Once upon a time BSNL was a huge profit
making organization with huge cash reserve. Why it has
started to incur losses? That is to be searched. Commitment
of the employees or policy of the management, which is
responsible for that. BSNL continued its rural service but
rural help was withdrawn. USO & ADC were withdrawn. No
support from government. BSNL has to pay the license fees
which is on the contrary to the word given at the time of
absorption. GS stated the implementation of the seventh CPC
in BSNL done for ITS. Then why legitimate 3rd PRC
is not being implemented. Pension contribution is taking by
DOT on the highest basic of the scale. This is not be
accepted. We should also extend non-cooperation with DOT so
prepare yourself for the struggle.
Sri K. K. Thakur CGM Jharkhand circle
thanked all for this well-organized conference. He told that
there are few persons within DOT who are frustrated and try
to increase other’s frustration. We must do good work and
the most important thing is the unity of each & every unions
& associations. He also requested not to disturb the
services and assured the house to communicate our feelings
to DOT & ministry. He expressed his hope that DOT will come
with us and will approve all major demands including 3rd
PRC.
Sri Dhananjay kumar GM (HR),
and Sri Arbind Prasad GM (Ranchi)

Update on BSNL Board meeting held on 12.10.2017
BSNL Board Meeting held today as per
the schedule wherein the implementation of 3rd
PRC report in BSNL was one of the agenda item. It is
understood that 3rd PRC report was discussed for
one hour. Addl. Secretary (T), DoT, the
Govt. nominee in the Board however, did not agree to discuss the
agenda since sufficient time is not given to study the
agenda.
So the matter is postponed to be
discussed in the next Board meeting scheduled to be held
after Diwali tentatively 23rd or 24th
October 2017. It seems that Addl. Secretary (T), DoT,
the Govt. nominee in the Board is not in the favour of
implementation of 3rd PRC report in BSNL.
In view of that all the BSNL Unions and Associations should
mobilize the organization action programs to impress upon
the Govt. for 3rd PRC implementation in BSNL. All
the Circle Secretaries / District Secretaries are requested
to ensure 100% participation in the proposed agitation
programmes of All Union & Associations of BSNL.

CMD
BSNL meeting with BSNL Unions and Associations Core Group:
GS along with GS of BSNLEU, GS NFTE and GS SNEA has attended
the meeting convened by CMD BSNL today at 1530 hrs to
discuss the present condition of BSNL.
CMD apprised about the Indian Mobile congress (IMC) on 25-26
September 2017 at Pragati Maidan wherein many private
operators CEOs visited BSNL Stall and commented by Shri
Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance industries that himself
said that BSNL is standing in the competition in comparison
to other operators. Best stall there is of BSNL.
Current market scenario CMD informed that positive side for
BSNL is that the market share of BSNL has increased from 8.6
in March,2017 to 8.84 in July 2017 in mobile segment despite
of tough competition. Media has also reported that BSNL has
challenge the Reliance Jio in the ongoing tariff war. Whole
credit goes to the BSNL employees and we are proud of it.
However BSNL has suffered on financial front. Revenue in
July impacted huge due to GST implementation. But with the
sincere and dedicated efforts of the BSNL Finance wing
officers in BSNL CO and IFA sin field units met the
challenge and could resolve the problems immediately. In the
month of Aug the realisation was 98.9% and in September till
date 55%. Due to this cash crunch in the month of July the
salary was disbursed on OD.
Earlier IUC charges benchmark was 0.14 paisa which is now
reduce to 0.6 paisa. In our opinion it should be minimum
0.22 paisa.
Now BSNL has to launch aggressive tariffs in view of this
BSNL in collaboration with micromax is launching bundled
feature phone having smartphone features on the price of Rs
2,200 and Rupees 97 sim with unlimited voice and Data. It
will be matching brand with Jio. This product will save
customers in rural and medium class. BSNL is subsidising Rs
1200 out of 2200 and this product will be named Bharat-1.
BSNL has also tied up with Vodafone on prepaid service for
free roaming now customer of BSNL may roam on Vodafone
network freely . post-paid will also take place soon.
Recently BSNL has received Rs 1500 crores from NFS amount
which will help immediately.
Mobile phase –VIII PO s have been placed in North south and
West zone . In east zone PO will be placed shortly.
BSNL is earning around 12000 crores revenue per annum from
CFA business. Hence its own strategies are different than
other operators. As About Rs 16000 crore on salary payment
alone .Wi-Fi, landline and Wi-Fi integrated to mobile
network are being provided by BSNL only. Landline broadband
it is giving good revenue through NGN wireless services,
Wi-Fi services holds on the broadband market. Further any
suggestion may be given by unions and association within one
week time in this regard.
BSNL has also applied for 4G spectrum allocation (2100 MHz
band) which will cater 3G also. The spectrum charges will be
paid on yearly basis up to ten years. 2G phase VIII order
need to be reviewed.
Regarding Core network, OTN phase-I and phase-II has come.
PGCIL connectivity also effective.
3rd PRC implementation in BSNL with 15 % fitment
benefit:
CMD informed that BSNL MC has approved the 3rd
PRC report with 15% fitment benefit and it has been sent to
DOT for clearance. Simultaneously it will be placed in the
next Board meeting for approval shortly. He further
mentioned that Secretary Telecom also commented that BSNL
deserves for 3rd PRC implementation and she will meet
Hon'ble MOSC(I/C) along with CMD BSNL in the next week to
get his consent. He also mentioned that Hon'ble MOSC (I/C)
wants to implement 3rd PRC in BSNL from his core
of heart.
Creation of tower subsidiary:
CMD mentioned that after creation of tower subsidiary
immediately BSNL will get 8% tax saving benefit and tower
subsidiary may help in giving more revenue to BSNL. The
depreciation amount of BSNL will reduce about 1500 crores.
BSNL will be giving initially Rs 7000 crores notional loan
to tower subsidiary against which it will get interest.
As per our opinion the negative side is to pay rent to tower
subsidiary for hiring towers. And the strategic business
partner induction may pave the way for its complete
disinvestment and privatisation. CMD commented that in his
opinion for next ten year it is not visible.
On the issue of PLI payment this year CMD assured to look
into.
We also discussed our "Candle Light March" also with CMD.
After detailed discussions meeting ended at 1745 hrs.
