(a) Filling up of the vacant DEs posts :- We  expressed our serious concern against non-filling of about 3600 vacant DEs posts for last one and half years. Director (HRD) informed that as per the clearance given by DOT to operate TES Group 'B' Seniority List No. 3 for OC category and list no. 4 for SC/ST category , DPC for promotion to the post of DEs on adhoc basis is over to fill up 620 posts and efforts will be made to issue the promotion orders shortly. To fill up remaining vacancies, case will be further taken up with DOT for its clearance shortly.

It was informed that DPC has been completed to fill up about 190 posts and orders are likely to be issued shortly. We pointed out that still some posts are lying vacant for which action should be taken to fill up the posts at the earliest.

(c) Withdrawal of ACP granted after 1.10.2004: We requested that ACP benefit granted before issue of BSNL Promotion Policy in January 2007 (effective from 1.10.2004) should not be withdrawn as the same was granted as per Govt.Scheme. The officers should be allowed to give option to get the benefit of ACP upto 1.10.2006 since in most of the cases , financial upgradation was eligible only from 1.10.06.Director(HRD) assured to discuss this issue separately with the Association after comleting internal discussions on this subject.

(d) Consideration of pending request transfers: We requested to consider all the  pending request transfer applications since for last six months no orders have been issued in this regard. He assured to look into the matter for early action .

18-12-2007:- GS, FS met Shri S.D. Saxena Director (Finance) and discussed:-

(a) Delay in notification of IDA Pay Scale for AAOs absorbed in BSNL:- We expressed our serious concern against delay in notification of IDA Pay Scale  Rs. 11875-300-17275 for AAOs absorbed in BSNL. Director (Finance) shown his positive attitude and assured early notification. 

(b) Valuation of Perquisite of accommodation in respect of BSNL Employees in occupation of staff quarters for the purpose of Income Tax:- We vehemently raised that no Income Tax recovery should be made on account of perquisite since A. Y. 2002-03 (F. Y. 2001-02) to  A. Y..2007-08 (F. Y. 2006-07)  from BSNL Employees. The company should bear the tax liability on this account. Director (Finance) appreciated our feelings and inform that CMD BSNL is taking up the matter with Secretary (DoT) pleading that the BSNL employees before their absorption were assured better financial benefits. Now  it will be injustice, if the Income Tax recovery is made on account of perquisite from BSNL employees towards accommodation provided by BSNL because one employee has to pay about Rs. 80000/- as the past arrears of Income Tax recovery. The employees after absorption in BSNL are continuing in the same accommodation as provided earlier in DoT.

Public is using these plans for data transferring from one end to another.  

B. ONE INDIA Plan for BSNL PSTN & GSM Subscribers( Rs 1/- per 60 Sec pulse)- These ONE INDIA PLAN subscribers using voice based VAS services (e.g.126300XX) by paying only Rs 1 per 60 Sec pulse instead of Rs 1.20 per 30 Sec pulse for PSTN & Rs 3.60 per 60 Sec for GSM ). In view of this, BSNL is getting Rs 1 per 60 sec from PSTN subscribers instead of Rs 2.40 per 60 sec & Rs 3.60 per 60 Sec from GSM subscribers. Out of such collection @Rs 1 per minute from subs, BSNL is paying VAS franchises share @90 paisa per minute for PSTN and Rs 1.44 per minute (i.e. 40% of Rs 3.60 per minute) for GSM subscribers, which seems to be huge revenue loss. in both the issues Director (O) assured to look in to.
