Urgent Action Required to Address AO to CAO Promotion Issues in BSNL

AIBSNLEA Leaders discussed this long pending matter in detail with the DIR HR . Leaders strongly shared that It is distressing to note that BSNL has been unable to vacate the status quo from the Hon'ble CAT Chandigarh, which has led to a painful situation where many Accounts Officers are retiring without achieving the long-awaited promotion they rightfully deserve.

The prolonged delay in promotions and the lack of resolution in this matter have left AOs disheartened and demoralized. It is deeply saddening to witness dedicated employees, who have devoted their time and efforts to BSNL, retire with a sense of disappointment and frustration.

Furthermore, the question arises as to how Look After roles can be assigned on a challenged seniority list , If seniority itself is under dispute, as per CAT Chandigarh. AIBSNLEA demanded to initiate the process of Ad-hoc promotions on the same list used to operate for LA. The DIR HR immediately called in DGM (Pers-Legal) to the meeting to explore the legal possibilities to promote AOs to CAO on Ad hoc basis . A final solution in favour of the demand of AIBSNLEA was not evolved.

We requested the DIR(HR) to take immediate action to address the AO to CAO promotion issue. It is vital to revisit existing policies, engage in constructive discussions with all relevant stakeholders, and seek a prompt resolution to vacate the status quo imposed by the CAT.

AIBSNLEA implored DIR(HR) to give utmost priority to this pressing issue and take swift and decisive action to resolve the AO to CAO promotion matter. By doing so, BSNL will demonstrate its commitment to fairness, transparency, and the well-being of its employees. DIR(HR) very positively replied that this long pending issue in the AO to CAO promotion is a matter of concern for BSNL Management too and assured us that Mgmt will take legal opinion for the ad-hoc promotion as proposed by AIBSNLEA and will call AIBSNLEA again for further discussion.

The Dir HR further informed AIBSNLEA that Dir HR along with PGM (Pers) & DGM (Pers-legal) will meet the Sr Counsel very soon for further firm decision on the matter submitted by AIBSNLEA .

Leaders of AIBSNLEA shared their sincere thanks to the DIR(HR) for his very positive approach and empathetic support to resolve the pending AO to CAO promotion.

Com. Santosh Kokate , the New CS Maharashtra Circle

Reporting of  Com  Jaiprakash Dongre continues that the respected GS Com Shaji V and OS (W) Com Jignesh Solanki ji were also participated and addressed the CEC, MH Circle.

Com GS very precisely addressed the house on points and  enlightened about AIBSNLEA CHQ activities, achievements, and the goal of the Association to work for all the Executive cadres in a very ethical , sincere, and transparent manner. GS continued that neither MA nor SA could do anything for the benefit of executives for the last 3 years . The only association that could do benefits for the BSNL executives' community is AIBSNLEA through the mass promotion in 2018 for @ 14,000 executives ,  arranging of E1+5 increments for the pre-2010 year executives in 2012, and even the lagged executives' promotion process was made possible through AIBSNLEA in 2022 by arranging promotion from SDE(E) to AGM(E)  . GS shared his sincere thanks and indebtedness of this association to the worthy CMD of BSNL, Shri .PK Purwar ji  for considering the appeal of AIBSNLEA to start the executives' promotion process from SDE (E) to AGM (E) in 2022.

Further the discussion going on on various organisational activities and it is updated to the Com GS that only Single person for his personal ambition left the association and None of our single members from AIBSNLEA MH team joined or support his anti association activities even though the Ex.

It proved the complete SOLIDARITY, INTEGRITY and COMMITMENT of our members towards our motherly association ie,  AIBSNLEA.

CEC ended with the reaffirmation of confidence that even after betrayal by one person, there is no loss to the AIBSNLEA , or rather, the AIBSNLEA MH Circle is Purified by the  expulsion of erring Ex.CS and as a result, many executives joined the AIBSNLEA MH Circle .

10.07.2023    GS and CHQ President AIBSNLEA met GM (Training), BSNL, and requested to restart the EPP Up-gradation Training for the officers belonging to the PA/PS/PPS/Sr.PSS cadres also. The EPP Up-gradation Trainings are restarted for all the officers belonging to all the major streams including Telecom Operation, Finance, Electrical, Civil, etc before conducting their EPP Up-gradation Examination. The Up-gradation Training had earlier been extended to the PA/PS/PPS/Sr.PPS cadres also but now the training has not been restarted for these cadres. The officers belonging to these cadres now finding difficulties to complete their Up-gradation Examination successfully without training. Moreover, this is certainly a matter of mental pain for officers in these cadres as they only are left out from training prior to their exams.

We requested GM (Training) to restart the EPP Up-gradation Training to these cadres without delay. GM (Training) totally shared the concern expressed by AIBSNLEA CHQ and assured to look into the matter positively. GM (Training) further informed that the progress on the matter will be shared back to AIBSNLEA CHQ without delay.

10.07.2023    An Appeal from GS AIBSNLEA to one and all the beloved BSNL Executive Community for extending Support to AIBSNLEA by switching over your valuable membership to AIBSNLEA to achieve all the long pending benefits to BSNL executives:

Dear BSNL Executive,
Best Greetings from AIBSNLEA

Kindly spare  some of  your valuable time to read this piece of appeal.

In 2018, AIBSNLEA could promote around 14,000 executives across multiple streams by Creating or upgrading thousands of Posts. AIBSNLEA wishes to repeat 2018 in 2023 through MSRR 2009. AIBSNLEA stands for the Promotion of all eligible executives as of 01-01-2023, through MSRR 2009 to avoid litigation in promotions.

Due to the persistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, E1+5 increments were granted to the pre-2010 batches of executives from 3.1.2012 onwards.

AIBSNLEA could arrange a breakthrough in the promotion process by promoting JTO to SDE , SDE to AGM & equivalent promotions in 2022 starting with the promotion orders for SDE(E) to AGM(E). AIBSNLEA is heavily indebted to the worthy CMD BSNL for accepting our proposal to issue long pending promotion orders. After this initiative by AIBSNLEA a good number of promotion orders have been released by BSNLCO. Only AIBSNLEA has sincerely been pursuing with BSNL management for releasing the Very Long Pending AO to CAO promotion orders.

It is heavy-hearted to point out that no remarkable benefit has been happened to the favours of BSNL executives for the Last 3 years than heavy losses to the executives viz.
Mass inter Circle Transfer for the last 2 years,
No Increase in SAB, No formation of PRMB trust,
Withdrawal of additional increments on promotion through new MSRR 2023 ,
Reduction in Medical facility under BSNL MRS,
Mass reduction in the sanctioned strength of Executives’ ,
Untimely introduction of MSRR 2023
Whatnot ….

Only AIBSNLEA has been able to do something beneficial for BSNL Executives so far. AIBSNLEA wishes…
to repeat Mass promotions of 2018 in 2023 through MSRR 2009
3rd PRC within a year's time
Standard Pay scales (E2/E3) covering the Pay Parity 22820 & E1+5 increments to post-2010 batches
30% SAB to BRs
& Many More…

AIBSNLEA has been inducting DRs/Youngsters at all the levels of CHQ/Circles/Branch bodies as President , Secretary & other Office Bearers. AIBSNLEA CHQ has a proper balanced mix of able and experienced: BRs , DRs , LICE & DOT Officers spreading across all streams.

Kindly Trust in the actions of AIBSNLEA than the mere Seasonal Promises happening once every year during Membership switching and once in 3 years during MVP.

Switch Over to this gentle, transparent and mature association through the ESS Portal (opened now from June 16 to July 15, 2023) for a better BSNL and to extract the best benefits from BSNL Management to BSNL Executives.

We would like to draw your kind attention on the above cited subject and the multiple fervent requests submitted to your generous attention by this association on the Pay parity issue of Rs 22820/-. In this regard, we wish to submit that in BSNL, the basic pay and the Pay Scales of the Executives recruited prior to 01.01.2007 and after 01.01.2007 onwards are entirely different which created widespread resentment and demotivation among the Executives recruited after 01.01.2007. There is huge difference in Pay to the tune of Rs 10000/- between the two sets of Executives......
