United Forum of Executives Associations will shortly finalize the protest actions against such demoralizing act of DoT / BSNL.

It is unfortunate that the matter has been mis-handled by some executives Associations by giving a call of agitation & withdrawing without any fruitful outcome. It has strengthen DoT to ignore the protest of BSNL Executives. The fact remains that efforts were taken by the same executive associations to sabotage the outgoing agitation call given by United Forum of BSNL Executives Associations in the month of Dec., 2016 and Jan., 2017 and they impressed upon the BSNL Management to victimize the CHQ/Circle/Distt. level office bearers of United Forum by issuing the memorandum & deduction of salary for two days i.e. 27th & 28th Dec., 2016 for participating in Dharna programme. These actions has strengthen the BSNL/DoT management to conveniently ignore the genuine grievances of executives in BSNL.

Hence, United Forum has to decide its own course of actions to protest the interest of entire BSNL Executives community rather coming under the trap of so called executive associations to further damage the interest of executives of BSNL.

Let us decide & keep ready for the conclusive struggle to show the strength of executives in achieving the settlement of legitimate demands.

Now based upon that BSNL will submit its final draft on the 3rd PRC report to DoT for comments and onward submission to DPE.

17.03.2017:   GS met with Jt. GM (Pers.) and discussed regarding:

1. Withdrawal of BSNL's order dated 25.07.2016 on pay fixation under EPP: We requested to withdraw the BSNL's order dated 25.07.2016 on pay fixation under EPP wherein the additional increment given on post based promotion is not affixation under FR 22 (1) (a) (i) rather it is an incentive given to the executive for shouldering higher responsibilities and it is not covered under FRSR, the DNI allowed under TBP remained un-altered which is fixed under the proviso of FRSR. The impact of this order (25.07.2016 order) is on many executives who have already been retired as the EPP was implemented long back from 01.10.2000. Similarly, there will be huge task while making correction the pay of large number of executives which will invite litigations. AIBSLEA has already given a letter followed by a reminder to the Addl. Secy (T), DoT in this regard to review the decision as the EPP was approved by BSNL Board and DoT.

17.03.2017:   CMD, BSNL called the representatives of the Forum of BSNL Unions and Associations for a meeting  wherein Com. GS attended the meeting.

CMD apprised in the meeting that as per Govt. of India instructions he has directed all the BSNL Corporate Office and all the Circles to complete the valuation of BSNL land by 30^th June 2017 (within three months). GM (BW), BSNL CO and GM (CA), BSNL CA has been directed to evaluate the land value of BNSL Corporate Office within one week time. Similarly, all the Circles/SSAs are to evaluate their available land through a consultant i.e. KPMG. This accounting will be based on India Accounting System (IAS) instead of the earlier General Accounting Procedure (GAP). Now all companies are supposed to keep their accounts as per IAS. The net worth of BSNL will be calculated based on the Assets generated after 01.10.2000. At present the net worth of BSNL is slightly negative i.e. about Rs 4,000 ? Rs. 5,000 Crores during the last 16 years. BSNL is having about 10,000 plots of the land which may come estimated Rs. 1,50,000 Crores as per the today's market value. In view of this all the available land in SSAs/Circles should be evaluated properly and nothing should be left unaccounted. KPMG will be a 3^rd party market valuer. AT the time of formation on 01.10.2000 the assets transferred to BSNL were about Rs. 68,000 Crores value which has now been de-valuated to Rs. 45,000/- Crore.    By way of this valuation the deprecation of BSNL will be reduced and LD will not effect. Last year the BSNL's EBITDA was Rs. 3,850/- Crores and this year also the EBITDA is +ve side.

On the issue of spectrum allocation, BSNL has already requested DoT to allocate 2100 MHz band in addition to 700 MHz.

On BSNL and MTNL merger issue CMD mentioned that we are not against the merger of BSNL and MTNL as synergy but three important issues are required to be settled by the Govt. before merger i.e. (1) the debt of Rs. 19,000/- Crore should not be transferred to BSNL.

(2) salary structure of BSNL and MTNL employees should be at par and

(3) MTNL should be de-listed before merger.

On implementation 3rd PRC recommendations CMD mentioned that he will look into the matter for maximum benefit for its employees.

TO ONE & ALL

11.03.2017:   REPORT OF 1^st CEC MEETING OF AIBSNLEA KARNATAKA CIRCLE

The 1^st CEC meeting of AIBSNLEA Karnataka Circle was held at 6^th floor Auditorium CTO Compound BGTD Bangaluru on 11^th March 2017. The meeting  began with welcoming the dignitaries to the dais namely Com. Prhalad Rai (GS, AIBSNLEA CHQ  New Delhi), Com. Ulhas Gurav (President, AIBSNLEA KTK Circle), Com. Shivakumar (President CHQ) Com. Shashidhar K Hiremath (Circle Secretary, KTK Circle), Com. Chakolli Appa Lal (Vice President CHQ),Com M.S. Srinivas Advisor CHQ, Com. Veerabhadra Rao Vice President AIGETOA,CHQ  Com Ashok Shigli President AIGETOA KTK Circle, Sunder Raj Circle Secretary AIGETOA, KTK Circle by the District Secretary Com. Nagaraju N..

One minute silence was observed in memory of the departed comrades. Com Ulhas Gurav President, AIBSNLEA KTK Circle has presided over the function. Self introduction was made by all the Office bearers who were present in the house.

In the opening remarks, Circle President Com Ulhas congratulated all the SSA District Presidents, District Secretaries and all the active Members who have contributed a lot for the success of 1^st Membership verification and also requested all the Office Bearers to enhance the membership in their respective SSAs in the days to come.

District Secretaries of different SSAs submitted the detailed report.

Com. Prahlad Rai, GS in his inspiring speech elaborately explained about latest status of the viability of BSNL,  The HR issues viz., JTO to SDE CPC, SDE to DE CPC, AO to CAO CPC, JAO to CAO CPC CPSU cadre hierarchy, Extension of 30% Superannuation Benefit to the BSNL recruited employees, Scrapping of MT /DGM RRs, Pay fixation of Offg. JTOs, Extension of 22,820 as initial basic to the executive's recruited post 01.01.2007, Standard pay scale implementation and all the activities being undertaken at CHQ level for the betterment and growth of both the executives and BSNL including the pending 3^rd PRC benefits. AIBSNLEA have been trying for the settlement of long pending HR issues in the several formal/informal meetings with the BSNL management, but even after the written assurances given, none of the pressing issue has been settled till date. It has caused serious frustration among the executives.  One JTO recruited in the year 1995 and having completed 21 years of service in one cadre, one SDE of year 2000 have completed 16 years' service as SDE is waiting his second promotion to the post of DE. Similar is the situation in civil/Electrical/Arch/Telecom Factory, Engineering wings and Accounts & Finance wing of BSNL.  All these promotions stuck on the pretext of pending Court cases.  But these cases were never defended by BSNL seriously in the court which resulted stalling the CPCs and stagnation in the career of executives.  The fact remains that wherever the management is serious for the early settlement of the court case, they take serious efforts and get immediate dispose off the case.  But our court cases are being handled in a routine manner.  In view of the growing frustration, BSNL management should defend all pending court cases with upmost priority and seriousness. Similar is the situation wherein all other HR issues lying unsettled ie. E-2,E-3 standard pay scales to JTO/SDE equivalent executives, CPSU cadre hierarchy implementation, First Time Bound promotion on 4 years of service in all cases,Rs.22820/- pay fixation to all the JTOs/JAOs, recruited post 2007, 30% superannuation benefit with 12% contribution from BSNL w.e.f 1.1.2007, posting of LDCE qualified JTO to  SDEs, restructuring of AD(O/L) cadre, PPS post creation with  all PGMs, E1+5  advance increments to JTO(SRD), JAO-2013 batch and PA cadre, E-5 to E-6 grade promotion to  DGM Adhoc under EPP, 50% diversion of MT quota CAO posts to seniority quota etc.

In the above important HR issues the E-2, E-3 standard pay scales to JTO and SDE equivalent executives, proposal is pending in DOT since for the last 3-4 months. Addl. Secy (T) has clearly mentioned in the file that E-1A and E-2A pay scales should be approved by Cabinet in BSNL and in future JTO/JAO equivalent cadres should be recruited in E-1 scale only.  BSNL management is yet to take up the matter with Secy. (T) for his kind intervention before 3rd PRC implementation otherwise it will put executives in huge financial loss while implementation of 3rd PRC.  CPSU cadre hierarchy proposed by Khan Committee has been disagreed by BSNL Pers Cell and now a new CPSU cadre hierarchy is being drafted to ensure MT recruitment at STS level.

Hence the Khan Committee recommendations on CPSU cadre hierarchy have been ignored.  The committee on Rs.2820/- pay fixation is under discussion but some members of the committee are yet to change their view in support of this 22820/- implementation.  On 30% SAB, a trust has now been created with the untiring efforts of United Forum with 3% contribution but it has to increase up to 12% with the effective date of 1.1.2007.

The HR issues i.e., LDCE qualified  JTOs posting as SDE(T)  after modification of SDE(RR) E1+5 advance increments to JTO(SRD) JAO-2013 batch and PA cadre, 50% MT (CAO) posts diversion to seniority quota etc. are yet to be cleared by the BSNL Board.  Like this many other HR issues also pending for settlement.  All these issues can be resolved when BSNL Management gives a serious thought on these issues.  Most of the issues remained pending for settlement on the pretext of membership verification and now two months are over after MV but none of the issue is towards settlement.  Now the recognized Association has also the responsibility to ensure for early settlement of all the pressing HR issues on priority rather than threatening and harming the members   of other Associations.

Members interacted with GS in respect of DPC, implementation of 3^rd PRC, retention to Karnataka Circle.

Com Shivakumar President CHQ addressed the members, in respect of pay fixation of JTO officiating FR 22 (I)(A)(1),FR 35(A) other related matters.

GS, AGS (F), OS (W) along with GS AIGETOA discussed the issue of Pay fixation of Rs. 22820/- to JTOs/ JAOs post recruited 01.01.2007. We pleaded to provide parity among the JTOs/ JAOs recruited before 01.01.2007 and after 01.01.2007 by giving pay fixation Rs. 22820/-.  We pleaded with some previous examples wherein such pay fixation has been extended to some executives.

But, she adhere to her decision.
