A) Status of Reversion of 2007- LDCE SDEs (2001 DR Batch):- GS enquired about the status of the Committee Recommendation with the Director (HR). Director (HR) mentioned that the meetings of the Committee were completed and the recommendation of the Committee was not yet submitted. He further mentioned that the recommendation of the Committee will be submitted within a couple of days. GS requested the Director (HR) for the early issuance of the favorable orders in this regard to mitigate the sufferings and frustration of the Young and Dynamic SDEs who have put more than 10 years of Service in the SDE Cadre. Director (HR) appreciated the concern of AIBSNLEA and assured to look in to the matter. 

Earlier, as requested by AIBSNLEA, a Committee was formed to look in to the issues regarding Reversion of 2007- LDCE SDEs (2001 DR batch). AIBSNLEA submitted its views before the Committee Members during the month of June, 2020 as per the Directions of the Director (HR). The Committee required reports from all the Circles. The same was received by the Pers. Branch. Several rounds of meeting of the Committee was conducted for the past 4 months and it is reliably learnt that recommendation of the Committee is  positive and the decision will be taken after the approval of the Competent Authority shortly.

B) Status of JAO 1999 Batch Pay fixation and recovery issue in respect of Telungana and AP Circles:- Director (HR) mentioned that the issue was discussed in detail with the HR Team with reference to the compliance report received from the CGMT Telungana and on the back ground of existing BSNL CO orders and Policy decision in this regard as well as the views & supporting documents submitted by AIBSNLEA, and decided to consider the case as one time measure. He further assured that the clarification orders will be issued shortly. GS, AIBSNLEA conveyed sincere thanks to the Director (HR) and the whole HR Team for the settlement of the issue.

History of the Case: AIBSNLEA Requested  BSNL Management  for the Withdrawal of the letter issued on the  presumption of Telangana  Circle regarding  the wrong  Pay fixation done against first up-gradation under Executive Promotion Policy (EPP) for the JAOs of 1999 Batch by DGM Vigilance of CGMT, TS Circle from 17.03.2020 onwards.

AIBSNLEA extend its sincere thanks to Director (HR), Director (Fin), All the Committee Members, PGM (Pers), DGM (Pers) and whole Pers. Team for the settlement of the long pending issue. 

<<<Click here for the order>>>

GS further mentioned that all the Executives are expected that due promotions will be given during the implementation of the VRS, but even after 07 months nothing is moving in the Pers. Branch and making the situation very worst. There is a huge stagnation in promotion among different wings.

Most of the Executives are drawing Two to Four Stages higher Scales than their Substantive Scale/Grade but waiting for their Regular Promotions from years together. Since the Executives are already working/ drawing in the higher scales, promotion is not going to make any financial implication either to BSNL or DoT. The regular promotion orders can be issued from among the Executives working in higher scales, before the implementation of the Cadre Restructuring in BSNL.

Any Look-after arrangement is a stop-gap arrangement and should not be continued for the months/years together. We strongly oppose any look-after arrangement in higher grade but we demand immediate promotions on ‘Regular Basis’. If immediate steps are not taken, Services will be severely affected since the Executives are reluctant to take higher responsibilities on short-term/temporary/look-after basis and the Management should not discourage the Executives.       <<<Click here for GS letter>>>

Dear Friends!

It is very surprising to note that so many claimants are there for the recently released outstanding SAB payments from Sept, 2019 to Jan, 2020 and it is very ridiculous to see that mud sliding and Website war is going on even after the completion of the 2^nd MV in some Association's sites, which is not a healthy trend for the interest and Welfare of the BSNL Executives and BSNL. We, on behalf of AIBSNLEA wish to inform you all that AIBSNLEA is the only Association taken up the issue with the BSNL Management continuously, by writing letters and persuasion with CMD BSNL, Director (Finance), Director (HR) & Sr.GM (CBB) Corporate Office from time to time and due to consistent and dedicated efforts of AIBSNLEA, the outstanding SAB benefits has been finally released. Please go-through the AIBSNLEA CHQ website for the letters written and issues taken up with the BSNL Management in this regards.

Comrades! Also see our AIBSNLEA CHQ Website write-ups dated 11.06.2020,  10.06.2020  &  04.06.2020 and so on... meetings with CMD BSNL, Director (HR) & Director (Finance) which is the documentary proof for efforts taken by AIBSNLEA.......Comrades! Truth is Always Truth.

Ground & field work always speaks the truth but those who are running the Association through only WhatsApp & Website claiming for the settlement of the issue. Reality & the Truth has come to the Light now.

AIBSNLEA strongly believes that the “Actual Fight & Action at the Ground level is the only solution to this Leg Pulling approach".

Dear Friends! From the above, you can very well understand that AIBSNLEA is the only Association always voice fiercely raising the Legitimate and Genuine Demands of all the Executives before the Management and continuously pursuing with the Management without seeing any Cadre, Caste & Creed.

AIBSNLEA always believes that 'Actions Speak Louder than the Words'.

AIBSNLEA respect the verdict of the majority of the Executives. At the same time, we fervently appeal to the Majority Recognized representative Association and the Support Association, instead of fighting with each other through Website, please come forward to fight unitedly for the settlement of the long pending HR issues and to safe guard the interests and legitimate rights of all the BSNL Employees.

1) Special Insurance Coverage for the BSNL employees who are maintaining essential Telecom Services throughout India against COVID-19 and Financial Assistance/Compensation to the bereaved family members of BSNL Employees, who expired due to Covid-19: We requested the CMD BSNL for the immediate extension of the Special Insurance Coverage of Rs.50 lakh to the BSNL employees who are maintaining essential Telecom Services throughout India against COVID-19 as suggested by AIBSNLEA during the month of April 2020 and we also impressed upon the CMD BSNL that due to non-payment of Medical claim reimbursement bills for indoor treatment to the Hospitals, our Executives and Non-Executives are being facing problems for admission in the Approved Hospitals for cashless treatment for Corona as well as other treatments.

CMD BSNL mentioned that due to heavy financial crunch in BSNL, BSNL Management is not in a position to extend the Special Insurance Coverage to the BSNL Employees. However, CMD mentioned that as per the suggestions of AIBSNLEA, BSNL Management has already written to DoT during the month of May,2020 itself for the extension of Financial support to BSNL so as to pay the Compensation to the bereaved family members of BSNL Employees. GS AIBSNLEA has written the letter in this regard to the BSNL Management  in the Month of April' 2020 itself. <<<Click here for GS letter dt 14.04.2020>>>

We handed over the reminder Letter addressed to CMD BSNL in this regard. <<<CLICK Here for Letter>>>

(2) Fixing the Time Line for Monthly Salary disbursement: We requested the CMD BSNL to fix the time line for the disbursement of monthly salary on the last working day of the concerned month since the Net Salary expenditure is estimated around Rs.425 Cr and BSNL can very well manage the Net Salary Monthly expenditure from the monthly collection of around Rs.1350 Cr. CMD mentioned that now only Sovereign Guarantee approval has received from DoT and BSNL Management is proposed to release the Bonds before the end of September' 2020, then only our commitments towards Bank etc., will be reduced and opined that after this process only BSNL Management may be in a position to pay the monthly salary in time.

We requested the CMD to release at least August, 2020 salary in the last week of August 2020 due to the “Onam” Festival. CMD mentioned that we are not having sufficient funds for the disbursement of August Salary since July salary was paid on 20^th August, 2020.

(h) DE(T) to DGM(T) and CAO to DGM(F)

(i) DGM(Adhoc) to Regular DGM.

CMD mentioned that due to 2^nd MVP the Promotion issue was not considered and he assured to consider the Regular Promotions in all the Cadres at the earliest.

(4) Discrepancies in the Provisional Seniority list No.9 of SDE(T) for DE(T) Promotions: We have brought to the notice of CMD about the discrepancies observed in the Provisional Seniority list No.9 of SDE(T) for the promotion of DE(T) issued by the Pers branch on 10.8.2020 and we categorically mentioned that the provisional Seniority List 9 is not prepared purely on the basis of the date of joining in accordance with the judgment pronounced by Hon’ble Supreme Court. But it is prepared on Date of Joining within the vacancy Year.

We further explained the CMD that the SDE(T) RR 2002 Amendment (That is Modification/addition/deletion in SDE(T) RR 2002) circulation dated 08-May-2018 “the Inter-se Seniority of the officers promoted against Seniority Quota (SQ-67%) and those who are promoted through LDCE/LICE quota (CQ-33%) against the particular vacancy year shall be fixed in the ratio of 2:1 irrespective of the year of appointment/date of joining”. “This Modification applicable with effect from 28/08/2015” onwards only. Any RR amendment is applicable from that date (that is Prospective in nature) but not on retrospectively. CMD assured to look into the matter.

Today GS and AGS, AIBSNLEA met Director (Finance) and discussed regarding:

(1) Disbursement of Monthly Salary on due date in every month: We expressed our serious concern regarding the non-disbursement of monthly Salary on due date. We appraised that after VRS, our monthly Salary expenditure has been reduced to 50%, the Net salary works out to Rs.425 cr. only, but BSNL Management is not able to disburse the monthly salary in time and every month it is getting delayed almost 20 days. We requested Director (Finance) to stream line the timely payment of Salary in every month.

Director (Fin) informed that we have cleared almost all our liabilities and trying to update all the pending liabilities also. We have obtained the moratorium for Bank Loan/Interest also for 6 months during Covid-19 which is due to be paid during the month of Sept., 2020. Further, BSNL has received the approval for Sovereign Guarantee and BSNL Management is proposing to issue the Bonds up to the last week of Sept., 2020. By the issue of Bonds Management is expecting at least Rs.4250 Cr. and we may manage the salary in time with in next three-four months.  

(2)   Extension of option for Pay Fixation in respect of JAOs (Departmental) (10% Quota) of 2010 Batch: Director (Fin) informed that the Committee recommendation in this regard has been accepted and approved by the Competent Authority and assured that the formal orders will be issued with in a couple of days. AIBSNLEA has taken up this issue continuously for so many years and finally there is a ray of hope that is we are seeing the light at the end of the Tunnel since we are expecting the fruitful results shortly for our consistent and sincere efforts.

(3) Consideration of request transfers in the Cadre of Accounts Personnel: We requested Director (Fin) to consider the request transfers in the Cadre of AOs and CAOs since they have already completed more than 30 months service in the present Circle and requested for transfer to their Home Circles to join with their family. We also impressed upon the Director (Fin) that our Accounts Personnel are facing so much problems due to Covid-19 in other than their Home Circles and further requested to consider the transfer requests on Humanitarian Grounds. Director (Fin) immediately discussed over phone with PGM (Pers) to process the transfer requests on priority basis including the requests received from Accounts Personnel of BSNL Corporate Office. PGM (Pers) replied that the cases are processed and order will be issued shortly after getting necessary approval.

(4) Request for Withdrawal of letter issued on the  presumption of Telangana  Circle regarding  the wrong  Pay fixation done against first up-gradation under Executive Promotion Policy (EPP) for the JAOs of 1999 Batch by DGM Vigilance of CGMT, TS Circle: We impressed upon the Director (Fin) that the issue was discussed with  Dir(HR), DIR(Fin), PGM(Pers), Sr.GM(Estt),  GM(EF) and DGM (Pers) in detail several times with relevant orders/clarifications issued by the DoT, Pers & SEA Branch of BSNL CO, but even after a lapse of five months, the issue has not been resolved. To our surprise, TS Circle has revised the Pay fixation of Account Officers (JAOs 1999 batch) who are presently working in BSNL as well as who opted for BSNL VRS-2019 and wrongly ordered for recovery of Overpayment to the tune of Rs.7 Lakh to 12 Lakh and stall the regularization process (Pension & retirement benefits) of VRS optees in a biased and arbitrary manner with ulterior motive on the basis of frivolous complaint, which is against the Natural justice. We requested Director (Fin) to issue necessary directions to withdraw the arbitrary orders of reducing the Pay of aggrieved JAOs of 1999 batch. Director (Fin) immediately spoken to Director (HR) over phone and requested to resolve the issue on priority basis since the issue is pending at Pers branch for a petty long time. <<<Click here for GS letter reminder III >>>

In this regard, GS AIBSNLEA discussed with Director (HR) at 19.00 hrs. and requested to issue the necessary orders immediately. Director (HR) after discussing with PGM (Pers) over phone assured to issue the direction shortly.

AN  APPEAL  BY  AIBSNLEA

Dear Friends!

August 18^th 2020, is the most crucial day for BSNL Executives’ career because this day decides who will represent the Executives of BSNL before Management, this day decides who will negotiate with the Management on behalf of all Executives, this day will decide who can take care of BSNL future/ Survival in view of the present Financial crunch of BSNL/Covid-19...etc., etc.... So friends, time/ opportunity to take crucial decisions will not come again and again....... So everybody must vote on 18^th August 2020 without fail as the Vote is the most powerful weapon in Democracy...... So now you are going to vote ... To whom you are to vote? Please vote for AIBSNLEA at Sl. No. 1, why?

AIBSNLEA has always proved itself as an actuator in all drives of the legitimate demands of BSNL Executives.

AIBSNLEA believes in the ground work and not in the mere pump and show on bandwagons. Fight can’t be win by standing on bandwagons, we believes that it is only the ground work with full of sweat and blood flow which brings outcomes.

Fights can’t be won by mischievous/malicious/fake propaganda on WhatsApp etc., without doing any ground work. AIBSNLEA always believes that actions speak louder than the words.

AIBSNLEA believes that there is never just one thing that leads to success for anyone, feel it always a combination of passion, dedication, hard work, and being in the right place at the right time and AIBSNLEA success is known to everyone.

Despite the several negative forces running every nook and corner to derail the resolution of issues and doing all sort of propaganda to just achieve their sinister motives, AIBSNLEA strongly believes that the “Actual fighting/action at Ground level” is the only solution to this Leg-pulling approach by some overzealous/vested interest mongers/groups.

The roots of AIBSNLEA are nourished by the water of different rivers like Associations of all the Streams. This is the real strength of AIBSNLEA and it has no need to be proved before anyone.

Nobody can steal its sunshine glory because nobody can steal the aroma of flower. Now, this is the time to make the glory of AIBSNLEA more shining, make the power of

AIBSNLEA more intensified and time to say a big ‘NO’ to further Machiavellian moves of our opponents.

Every Executive should come forward to join Hands with AIBSNLEA for safe future of BSNL & its Executives as well.

15.08.2020SANKALP PATHRA OF SNEA - “The CAT is out of the BAG”

SNEA has conducted a video conferencing during Janmashtami in which our Ex-Dir HR & Ex-Executive Director have participated. During the course of the interaction, they have expressed certain remarks and finally appreciated the role of SNEA in supporting the Decisions of Management.

The Salient comments of Ex-Executive Director who was the chairman of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy committee are:

The JTO to DE/AGM & JAO to CAO are interchangeable under the proposed CPSU Cadre Hierarchy and SNEA played a vital role in arriving at this important conclusion.

This means instead of demanding for a Promotion from one cadre to higher cadre, the SNEA has simply surrendered our prestige and made JTO, SDE, DE / JAO, AO, CAO as Equal. This means “Dilution of cadre”.

The Salient features of the interactions with Ex-DIR-HR are:

All the Old guards have gone and a virtual Heart Transplantation is done on BSNL -- that means the SNEA had a big role in removing the old Heart.

SNEA is the Charioteer and the GMs of BSNL CO are in the Rath during the process of finalization of CPSU cadre Hierarchy and the SNEA has literally made a “Trade off” -- Means What?

Before the Board Meeting at Hyderabad the Ex-DIR-HR herself felt that CPSU Cadre Hierarchy is not suitable for a company like BSNL- that is why AIBSNLEA  demanded and got the Mega14000 Promotion  in all the Streams before the implementation of CPSU CH(i.e.,  SDE to DGM level) which created the Mile stone in the History of DoT BSNL

The Management Trainees at various levels is a must for BSNL to grow and SNEA leaders have great vision on that- which clearly shows that SNEA is against the carrier progression of Young DRs.

The Strike Era of Trade Unions has gone and only a negotiation can make some settlement possible which SNEA has understood well --- that means all their (SNEA) Strike Threat is only on paper.

From the above video conferencing, it is very clear that SNEA is not depending on what they have done during the  past three and half  years  and doubted about their victory in the 2nd MVP since they have not achieved anything for the past three and half years and miserably failed.

If SNEA is try to get more Votes from the Executives through this appreciation made by the Ex Executive Director Shri M.M. Khan, why they opposed the recommendation of Khan Committee report and derailed the CPSU CH process for the past 3 and half years.

AIBSNLEA feel this is highly unethical on the part of such highly placed officers, although retired, to praise publically about one Association. During this 2nd MVP Period they should have avoided attending such meetings. If at all required to attend and address such meeting, they should mention about all the Associations Particularly the role of AIBSNLEA. AIBSNLEA strongly condemned the unethical and illegal Act of respectable Ex-Director (HR) & Executive Director of BSNL Board for supporting SNEA through Video Conferencing for the cheap publicity of SNEA in the forthcoming 2nd MVP. It clearly shows that SNEA is smelling the defeat, now trying to influence the Executives in their favour in this unethical way.

 By attempting to rope in the votes of Executives, the SNEA masterminded something but finally landed in a misadventure by which they have caught hold of the Tiger’s Tail and this will be a permanent SCAR on the image of SNEA, which boasted itself as warriors of Trade Union Movement. Not only the self respect of thousands of Executives has been pledged by SNEA at the feet of the Management but also they have made a GROSS VIOLATION OF STIPULATED CODE OF CONDUCT RULES FOR AN ELECTION. The whole episode now identifies the True Colours of SNEA.

THE WHOLE 2nd MVP PROCESS HAS BEEN MADE AS  A MOCKERY OF DEMOCRACY BY SNEA.  At least now, our Executives must Re orient their thought and mind about SNEA. Come out openly and show them the Door. If it is not NOW then it will be NEVER.

Hence, We fervently appeal all the Executives don’t get confused by this type of unethical Video display and  it is the time to introspect, think over, Decide & Follow Your Heart and cast your Valuable Vote in favour of AIBSNLEA  at   SL. No 1

and make AIBSNLEA as No 1 Association to safeguard the interest of BSNL Executives & save the BSNL.

AIBSNLEA  ZINDABAD!    BSNL ZINDABAD!

We the AIBSNLEA………….……

Being a Support Association, if AIBSNLEA could achieve bulk Promotions of more than 14000 in June, 2018 (despite the negative forces running to derail the issue/ Gherao the BSNL Board…) means, AIBSNLEA can do wonders if it gets its Status from a “Support Association” to the “Majority Recognized Association” during this MVP- 2020.

AIBSNLEA has the Great Leadership with deep Trade Union Experience, Hard Bargainer & Bold Team at CHQ along with great experienced Chairman & Advisers etc.

AIBSNLEA is actively Participated in all the Agitation calls given by AUAB and regularly attending the meetings to discuss the issues related to the Revival Plan, Financial viability of BSNL, allocation of 4G spectrum to BSNL, Monetization of non-core Land, the issues of revision of Pay, Pension and Payment of pension contribution on actual basis instead of maximum of the pay scale, BSNL MRS etc. To get settled the demands, AUAB launched series of agitation calls including 3 days strike and March to Sanchar Bhawan etc., in all the Agitation Calls AIBSNLEA was in fore-front and actively participated and succeeded by getting Revival Plan Approved by the Union Cabinet on 23.10.2019 with a) 4G spectrum and 18% GST free of cost, b) No financial implication for BSNL on VRS, c) Land monetization for loan repayment and development, d) Rs 8,500 Crore Sovereign Guarantee Bond for Restructuring of loan, e) Contentious issues likeE2 & E3 Pay Scale will be settled before BSNL & MTNL Merger.

AIBSNLEA deeply involved at all levels in finding out ways and means for all out growth and maximization of Revenue of BSNL which gives us our daily bread and butter. 

AIBSNLEA‘s magnificent struggle and its achievements has paved the way for the settlement of the long pending HR issues of BSNL Executives and has proved its strength and importance of AIBSNLEA  before the Management.

AIBSNLEA CHQ is very much confident that newly elected youngsters  will make the  AIBSNLEA Odisha Circle  number one association in the ensuing 2nd MVP.

GS brought to the notice of Director (HR) in several Agenda Meetings held from Jan., 2020 to May., 2020 that due to very high standard of questions, combined with a large number of out of Syllabus/ambiguous/wrong questions, only 154 candidates have got passed, out of the total 741 candidates appeared in the LICE i.e., 21% only.

It is also a matter of serious concern that not even a single candidate was passed in as many as 5 circles and the result is also very poor in respect of SC/ST candidates. Only 26 SC Candidates and 18 ST candidates have passed from 8 Circles out of 28 Circles. It is pertinent to mention that not even a single SC or ST candidate was passed in other 20 Circles.

It is also worth to mention that all the candidates have entered through a highly  Competitive Exam for the Direct Recruitment to the Cadre of JE in BSNL.

In Post-VRS Scenario as on 01.02.2020, the posts of JTOs are vacant to the tune of 14828. Out of that the 50% vacancies available for LICE quota are 7414.

However, through the above said LIC Exam, only 154 candidates have passed i.e., only 2.08% vacancies can be filled up. 

Like that 1684 SC Vacancies and 1065 ST Vacancies are available for the LICE  quota but through the above said LICE , only 26 SC & 18 ST candidates only have passed Exam i.e., only 1.6% vacancies can be filled up.

GS AIBSNLEA requested-

1. 1. To provide relaxation of 10% marks in Group-A, 15% marks in Group-B and 15% marks in aggregate and

2. 2. To review the results of SC & ST candidates and award Grace marks

So as to render Natural justice to the affected candidates and to boost their morale in the current situation of BSNL, where these young energies will make the difference.

Due to the consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, a New Committee has been formed during the first week of June, 2020 under the chairmanship of GM (Rectt.) BSNL CO to review the results and award the grace marks. GS further requested the Director (HR) to speed up the submission of the Committee Report and declaration of review results.

To the Kind attention of all Post 2010 Batch DR/LDCE JTOs & JAOs Batches:

Dear Friends! AIBSNLEA is the only Association continuously taking up the issue of E1+ 5 increments to the post 2010 JTO/JAO DR & LDCE  at different level for quite long time due to non approval  of E2 Scale by the DoT. GS, AIBSNLEA has written to the BSNL Management about this anomaly and explained about huge difference in Pay to the tune of Rs 10000/- between the two sets of Executives recruited after 01.01.2007 onwards which created widespread resentment among the young Executives. The young DR and LDCE JTOs/JAOs  were demoted to a lower Pay scale and placed in E1 scale provisionally.

Due consist and continuous  efforts of AIBSNLEA , BSNL Board approved the grant of 5(five) advance increments on the minimum of the revised E1 pay scale of Rs. 16400-40500 to the directly recruited JTOs of 2007 and 2008 batch and directly recruited JAOs in respect of whom result declared in 2010 have been ordered to be fixed at Rs.19020/- and subsequently  BSNL Board approved the same for JAO 2010 LICE batch (both 10% Quota & 40% Quota) i.e., the pay of such JAOS has been fixed in the revised E1 pay scale of Rs. 16400-40500/- by granting one notional increment @ 3% of their existing pay in the feeder grade or at Rs. 19020/- by way of granting five advance increments on the minimum of the revised E1 scale, whichever is higher.

Like that due to continuous persuasion of AIBSNLEA with the BSNL Management, the grant of 5(five) advance increments on the minimum of the revised E1 pay scale of Rs. 16400-40500 to SRD JTOs 2010 batch and LDCE JAOs 2013 batch has been considered and approved by the MC of the BSNL Board. But the approval of BSNL Board is kept pending for the past so many years due to BSNL Restructuring Plan.

AIBSNLEA brought to the notice of the CMD, BSNL that the initial Pay of DR JTO Specially abled 2010 Batch, DR JAOs of 2015, 2018 Batch, DR JTOs of 2017 Batch, LDCE JAOs of 2016 batch and LDCE JTOs of 2016 & 2017 batch recruited/appointed as per the same Recruitment Rules as of DR JAO 2010 Batch was fixed at Rs.16400/- only and they are deprived from getting of 5 Advance increments; which is clear disparity and serious anomaly among the similarly placed JTOs/JAOs. The difference in basic pay of DR JTO Specially abled 2010 Batch, DR JAOs of 2015, 2018, DR JTOs of 2017, LDCE JAOs 2016 and LDCE JTOs 2016 & 2017 batches become Rs 2620/- (Rs,19020– Rs.16400) comparing to the DR JTOs of 2007 batch, 2008 batch and JAOs of 2010 LDCE batch. If other allowances are added, the real difference in salary today will be around Rs 10,000/-. On implementation of 3rd PRC, the difference will further increase and continue with time due to increase in IDA and annual increment. Further all are facing major losses in the form of career progression (time bound promotion), retirement benefits like E.P.F., Gratuity etc., due to discrimination of the initial basic pay compared to other similarly placed JTO/JAOs. 

AIBSNLEA in it’s letter also mentioned that they will get E-2 Scale as per the time bound EPP after 6 years only since they are placed in Rs.16400- 40500 Scale and they have not touched the next Scale within 4 years (as per the BSNL EPP) due to non grant 5(five) Advance increments. Whereas the earlier 2007&2008 DR JTO batch, 2010 DR JAO and 2010 LDCE batches  have got E2 Scale in 4 years which is the great injustice  and discrimination.

Due to implementation of VRS-2019 in BSNL and sudden outbreak of the present pandemic situation, the immediate propulsion faced by the Executives, especially the younger ones are hard to believe. They have already labeled themselves as silent fighters, who fought not only for their livelihood but also to run the Dreams of Indian Telecommunication amidst the most turbulent condition. Surprisingly, these energetic, educated and committed brigades have continuously been deprived in many spheres relating to their career in BSNL service. The financial difference between their of their senior counterparts due to Pay loss of Rs 10,000/- per month is unimaginable and unfair too.

In view of the foregoing,  AIBSNLEA fervently appeal to the CMD BSNL to kindly intervene in the matter and cause to issue necessary instructions to the Officers concerned to extend E1+5 increments to SRD JTOs 2010 batch, DR JTO Specially abled 2010 Batch, LDCE JAOs 2013 batch, DR JAOs of 2015, 2018 batch, DR JTOs of 2017 Batch, LDCE JAOs 2016 and LDCE JTOs 2016 & 2017 batches so as to increase the morale of the Young Executives.....<<<Click here for letter>>>

Hence AIBSNLEA appeal to all the Post 2010 DR/LDCE/SRD JTOs and JAOs to Think, Introspect and Decide who is the Saviour of the Young DR/LDCE JTOs and JAOs.

Vote for AIBSNLEA at Sr. No. 1 for safe guarding the interests and rights of all the Post 2010 DR/LDCE/SRD JTOs and JAOs

In the AUAB meeting held on 25.07.2020, it was decided that the submission of the Memorandum to the Hon. Members of Parliament should be expedited, despite the imposition of Lockdown in many areas and also restrictions in movement to contain Covid-19.

All the Circle/District Secretaries are requested to submit the Memorandum to the Hon. MPs on or before 31.07.2020 along with the constituents Unions and Associations of AUAB.  

Regarding Twitter campaign on 05.08.2020, a hastag will be created by AUAB focussing on immediate launching of 4G and Revival of BSNL and the same will be informed shortly. This campaign will create Media Attention and mass public support to our genuine demands of 4G launching and BSNL Revival.

All the Circle Secretaries, CHQ office bearers, CWC Members, Circle office bearers, Activists and District Secretaries are requested to make the twitter campaign programme a grand success.

1) Wrong recovery/withheld of Lakh of Rupees from the Ex-Gratia paid to VRS-19 retirees in Telangana/ AP Circles- GS brought to the notice of Director (HR) about the wrong recovery/withheld the Ex-gratia amount by the Telangna and AP Circles Administration in respect of one group of Accounts Officers without getting any clarification from the BSNL Corporate Office. There is a confusion in interpretation of the relevant orders by the Circle Admin., which creates Mental Agony, Resentment & Frustration among the retired officers. GS explained the issue in detail and expressed our serious concern for non-issuance of clarification to the TS/ AP/ KTK Circles by the Pers. branch for the past 4 months.

After patient hearing, Director (HR) assured to issuance of the clarificatory orders shortly.

GS further requested Director (HR) to fix responsibility to the officers concern for the wrong recovery.

2) Issuance of Unlawful clarification orders issued on 20.07.2020 by Estt. Branch of BSNL CO in the name of recovery of Excess payment: GS explained the Director (HR) about the unlawful recovery of Over/Excess payment already paid before five years to the Executives who have opted for VRS -2019 & retired now, citing the Hon’ble Supreme Court Judgment/order in CA No 11527 of 2014 (State of Punjab & amp; others Vs Rafiq Masih). GS requested  that the Hon’ble Supreme Court order has to be scrupulously followed and Corporate Office should avoid issuing any contrary order to avoid any hardship.

GS further explained that the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India has clearly mentioned about the recoveries by the employers that would be impermissible in Law:

The same judgment was endorsed by the Estt. Branch of BSNL Corporate Office to all field units vide its letter dated 01.05.2019.

The above said instructions of BSNL Corporate Office and Hon’ble Supreme Court Judgment has not been followed strictly and a contrary order has recently been issued by the Estt. branch of BSNL CO vide it’s letter dated 20.07.2020 resulted in Lakh of Rupees have been recovered from the Ex-Gratia payment paid to the VRS-retirees in the name of excess payment and in violation of the Hon’ble Supreme Court Judgment.

GS requested Director (HR) to revisit the case in the light of the Judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India & the earlier instructions of BSNL CO issued in this regard and issuance of clarifications to all Circles/Units to avoid the hardship, resentment & frustration among the employees/retirees.

3) Reversion of 2007 LDCE SDEs to JTOs case:- We expressed our serious concern about the delay in non-issuance of restoration orders to the 2007 LDCE SDEs reverted to JTOs. Director (HR) assured that shortly the Committee report will be submitted and decision will be taken very soon.

4) Request for increasing of Polling Booths and ensure free and fair Conduction of 2nd MVP with more than 75% polling: GS brought to the notice of Director (HR) about the serious Pandemic situation in most of the Circles and the problems faced by our Executives due to Communal Spreading of Covid-19 ,which is in Peak. GS requested to increase of Booths since most of the Executives working in the last corner of the particular SSA has to travel 70 KMs to 140 KMs for exercising their Votes in the polling booth at SSA HQ.

GS further requested Director (HR) to ensure at least 75% polling as well as free & fair conduction of 2^nd MVP since as per the REA Rules 2014, those who are getting 35% votes of total working Executives will be emerged as Majority Representative Association, failing which all Associations will get 15% or above (less than 35%) votes of working executives, to be given Support Association Status only till next MVP is conducted.

After patient hearing Director (HR) assured to look into.      

Status of JAO 1999 Batch Pay fixation and recovery issue:-

GS & AGS (F) met Director (Finance) BSNL Board and concerned officers-PGM (Pers.), Sr.GM (Estt.), GM (EF) & DGM (Pers.-SM) in this regard and requested for early issuance of the clarificatory orders since lakh of rupees have been wrongly withheld by Telangana & AP Circle’s Administration from the 3^rd Installment of Ex-Gratia payment to the Executives.

It is learnt that the case has been put up with positive note in confirmation with & endorsing the directions issued vide Pers. Branch letter dated 2^nd Sept., 2015 and submitted to the Competent authority for approval.

GS explained the case in detail and requested Director (Finance) to issue the clarificatory orders at the earliest. We hope that positive orders will be issued shortly.   

Status of JAO 2010 batch-10% quota, Pay fixation case w.r.t. the extension of option benefit:

Due to consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, the BSNL Management has formed a Committee to look into the issue. GS and AGS (Fin) met the Committee members and presented the views & suggestions of AIBSNLEA on the issue. The first meeting of the committee was conducted during last week. Again it will meet and take a final decision on the issue of extension of option benefit to the JAO 2010 batch- 10% quota also.

Committee meeting in respect of 40% JAO-2010 batch- The committee meeting was held during last week. GS and AGS (Fin) met the Committee members and presented the views of AIBSNLEA before the committee members. We categorically told to the Committee members that   the 40% JAOs 2010 batch Pay fixation issue was misinterpreted by some Circles. We further submitted that the earlier Committee report was approved by the Competent Authority and implemented prospectively w.e.f. 24.7.2015 and the pay was fixed notionally from the date of appointment of JAOs in June, 2010 onwards to 23.7.2015 and actual pay was drawn only from the date of orders and hence there is no question of excess payment of arrears up to 23.7.2015.

We further argued that the case was already settled as per the recommendation of the committee and approval of the Competent Authority need not be reopened.

We hope that positive recommendation will be submitted by the Committee shortly.

Status of Reversion of 2007- LDCE SDEs (2001 DR batch):

The committee required reports from all the Circles. Some of the Circles not yet forwarded the same to BSNL CO. Pers. Branch is issuing reminders to the Circles not yet responded. After the receipt of the reports from the Circles, the Committee report will be finalized and submitted to the Competent Authority.         

AIBSNLEA requested to BSNL Management, that the recovery of Over/Excess payment already paid to the Executives, who have opted for VRS and already retired, may not be made, citing the Hon’ble Supreme Court Judgment which has to be scrupulously followed.

As per the request of AIBSNLEA, BSNL Management extended the date for submission of Self-Appraisal, reporting and reviewing of e-APAR for the year 2019-20 up to 31.07.2020, 31.08.2020 and 30.09.2020 respectively.

AIBSNLEA extend its sincere thanks to the Director (HR), PGM (Pers.) & DGM (Pers-SM) BSNL CO, New Delhi.

<<<Click here for Letter written by GS regarding promotion to the grade of SDE(T) >>>

                       Comrades! Please Think-over!

What are the reasons for delay in JTO to SDE (T) Promotion?

Those who are singing the tunes of themselves being the saviors of Youngsters have gone to the Court and stalled the Promotions from JTO(T) to SDE(T) under  Seniority Cum Fitness 67% Quota. Due to this Court Case, thousands of BSNL recruited JTOs including 2001 Batch onwards are still waiting for their first promotion for the last 6 to 20 years

Friends, all are aware that due to consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, 2090 JTO (T) s were promoted as SDE (T) through 2015 LDCE for the vacancy year 2010-11 on 25.06.2018.

All India Eligibility List published by BSNL CO during Feb’ 2015 to grant promotions to the cadre of SDE (T) under 67% seniority cum fitness quota was challenged by some of the Office bearers  of so called Saviors  Association in the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala. The Hon’ble High Court of Kerala vide their judgment dated 05.06.2018  set aside the above said AIEL and directed to redraw an integrated AIEL on the basis of date of joining without considering training centre marks. BSNL published an AIEL on 14.06.2018 by bifurcating the earlier AIEL which only consists of JTOs recruited up to the year 1999 and accordingly, granted promotion to the cadre of SDE (Telecom) for 67% Seniority cum Fitness quota on 15.06.2018. Due to the Court directions, BSNL issued promotion orders only for 3147 JTOs even though another 4500 vacancies were available for the vacancy year 2009-10 and 2010-11. In this DPC, BSNL has promoted JTOs recruited for 1995 (partial), 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 (partial) recruitment years for the vacancy years 2009-10 and 2010-11. Though more than 4500  of SDE vacancies were available during June- 2018, but could not be filled up as the Eligibility list of JTOs recruited from 2001 onwards  have to be re-casted as per the directions of Hon’ble  High Court of Kerala w.r.t. Date of Joining, in view of the case filed by the activists of so called Saviour Association.

A contempt petition was then filed against the promotion orders dated 15.06.2018, by some of the Office bearers of the so called Saviors Association which is still pending for disposal. Due to the Contempt petition   filed by the activists of the so called Saviour Association against CMD BSNL, another 4500 vacancies could not be filled after June, 2018.   

Hence the JTO (T) to SDE (T) Promotions were badly delayed for more than two years due to Court cases filed by the so called Saviors of Youngsters which created serious resentment, de-motivation and demoralization among the Young JTOs of 2001 to 2008 batch.

BSNL filed a Review Petition against the judgment dated 05.06.2018  since  the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala in its judgment had made the training centre marks irrelevant, which is not in consonance with the DoP&T guidelines. The above said review petition is still pending for disposal.

So Comrades! Please understand who is behind the stalling of due Promotions.   Those who were gone to the Court and stalled the Promotion in the name of Contempt Petition are not come forward to withdraw the same in the interest of thousands of BSNL Recruits but they are now shedding the Crocodile Tears that JTO(T) to SDE(T) Promotions are delayed. 

Friends! Please identify the true colours of so called Saviors Association who have killed the Carrier Prospective of BSNL Recruits.

We request the whole BSNL Recruits to think, introspect and decide!

Vote for  AIBSNLEA in No.1 to safe guard the interests and rights of BSNL Recruits.

AIBSNLEA    ZINDABAD!

MAKE   AIBSNLEA   AS   NO-1   ASSOCIATION

AIBSNLEA is the only Association taken up this issue with the BSNL Management time & again.  In 2009, the Departmental TTAs appointed as JTOs through direct recruitment quota (2007 batch). They have applied to the JTO-2007 posts through proper channel as per FR 22 GIO (4) rulings. As per the letter cited under reference (2), after appointment as JTOs, past service benefits has to be extended to them which are in line with FR 22 GIO (4) and this rule further says Pay fixation should be done under FR-27. As per Para 3.6 of Non-Executive PRC cited under reference (1), the entire departmental outsider JTOs who were appointed in 2009 exercised their option for pay fixation from Date of their promotion.

The Departmental outsiders of 2007 Batch were appointed during March 2009 to December 2009 (i.e. between 01-01-2007 to 07-05-2010) and hence they are entitled for exercising option to have their pay fixed as per BSNL Corporate Office order dated 18-05-2011.

The Departmental outsiders were drawing their pay in the Pre revised Non-Executive Scales (7100-200-10100) before their appointment as JTO. If they opted for Pay fixation from the date of their promotion they will continue to draw the pre-revised Pay (7100-200-10100) of the existing cadre up to the date of promotion and on the date of promotion their pay will be fixed initially from the Pre-revised JTO Pay Scale of 9850-250-14600 and then re-fixed to the corresponding Revised E-1 IDA Pay Scale of Rs.16400-40500. Hence they may be allowed in JTO Pre revised Scale up to the date of Non Executive PRC order i.e., up to 10-5-2010. They are eligible for exercising option from the date of Promotion as per FR-27 read with FR-22(I)(a)(i). The Pay of the Departmental outsiders (from TTA Cadre) appointed against DR JTO quota may be fixed in 9850-250-14600 in accordance with FR-22 GIO(4) ,FR-27 GIO(4)iii, C&AG’s decision(1),FR- 27 GIO(5)iii and FR-22 (I) (a)(i).

AIBSNLEA requested CMD BSNL to review the case and fix the Pay of the internal candidates selected against DR JTO quota by extending the benefits of past services by treating the selection against DR JTO quota as a promotion and their option for pay revision from the date of promotion...........<<<Click here for letter>>>

20.07.2020  GS writes to Shri P.K.Purwar, CMD BSNL regarding.....implementation of DPE Guidelines on Membership Verification and 3rd PRC ....<<<Click here for  letter>>>>

The proposal of the BSNL Management for 3rd Pay Revision of Executives in BSNL from 1-1-2017 was denied by the Administrative Ministry namely DOT on the plea that as per DPE Guidelines, our Company BSNL (PSU- governed by DPE Guidelines) has reported loss for three consecutive Financial years and hence the Executives are not eligible for any Pay Revision.

This being the case, our plea based on the same DPE-Guidelines (As per DPE Guidelines, no Membership verification is required amongst Executives in any of the PSUs and the report obtained through RTI is enclosed herewith for reference) to dispense with the Membership verification for Executives in the overall interest of our company is not acceded to by the Management.

Since  the 2nd MVP is announced and scheduled on 18th August 2020, AIBNLEA  requests the  CMD, BSNL  to initiate and complete the process of the 3rd Pay Revision for  BSNL Executives due from 1-1-2017, to avoid any legal complications later, since our Management cannot arbitrarily fix different yardsticks in the implementation of DPE Guidelines.   

20.07.2020 GS writes to Shri P.K. Purwar, CMD BSNL regarding the extension of time line for initiation and submission of eAPAR in ERP for the year 2019-20......<<< Click here for GS Letter>>>

20.07.2020 GS writes to Shri P.K. Purwar, CMD BSNL regarding non-disbursement of the Salary on due date and the Non-remittance of the recoveries, like Society EMI, SAB, PRMB (for BSNL Direct recruits) and Bank MOU etc., from the Salary on monthly basis to the concerned Organizations. Likewise Medical reimbursement is also pending for the months together in respect of the retirees and working employees.

Due to non-remittance of the dues already recovered from the salary, the employees are suffering a lot. BSNL Employees are not able to get Society Loans, GPF advance/withdrawal as well as non-settlement of Superannuation benefits to the retirees/VRS DRs etc.

Further, the salary for the month of June’ 2020 has not been disbursed to BSNL Employees till today. Sir, monthly salary is disbursed to BSNL Employees belatedly for so many months. After  VRS  is  implemented  in  BSNL,  the  net  monthly  Salary  expenditure  comes  around Rs.425/- Cr per month only and time and again it is brought to the notice of the CMD BSNL/ Management by the AIBSNLEA and requested in the periodical meetings that the Salary at least from the March, 2020 onwards may kindly be paid in timely manner.  But, we are constrained to bring to your kind notice that the Salary for the month of June, 2020 has not been disbursed till date even though the monthly collection for the month of May, 2020 is around 1400 Cr, which creates heartburning, frustration, humiliation and resentment among the BSNL Employees. We are aware of the Commitment of the BSNL Management regarding the payment of Statutory dues viz., GST, TDS and EPF/Bank Interest and Quarterly Principal re-payment etc., but at the same time BSNL Management has to understand the problems faced by the BSNL Employee during this  Lockdown  period  without  timely  payment  of  the  Salary how employees will survive.

However, the BSNL Employees have maintained the essential Telecom Network of BSNL in an excellent manner during the Nation-wide lockdown period.

Hence, AIBSNLEA  earnestly urge upon the CMD  to kindly take an early & expeditious step  to  disburse  the  Salary  for  the  month  of  June’  2020  and  kindly  ensure  the monthly  Salary  of  ensuing  months  on  due  dates  as  well  as  make  necessary arrangements for the immediate payment of the outstanding recoveries to the concerned Organizations so as to mitigate the suffering being faced by the BSNL Employees and to avoid any resentment and frustration among the BSNL employees............<<<Click here for GS letter>>>

19.07.2020 GS writes to Shri P. K. Purwar, CMD BSNL regarding Conduct of 2nd MVP for Executives in the midst of Covid19......

AIBSNLEA is very confident to get more than 10,000 Votes and become a No.1 Association with a great show in the event of an 2nd MVP conducted at any time, at the same time AIBSNLEA is the only Association worried and  more concerned about the personal safety of all the  BSNL Executives and their families , than winning any Election (2^nd MVP).

AIBSNLEA intimated the CMD through this letter that as per the reports obtained from the Circle Secretaries of various Circles throughout  India, that the Pandemic is growing exponentially and the State and Central Governments are struggling hard to control its spread by introducing all types of restrictions to save valuable human lives. Now, it is declared by the State Govts., including Kerala that Covid-19 is peak through Communal Spreading..  Hence,  we cautioned that

 The BSNL Management will be squarely held responsible for spread of COVID-19 pandemic and it’s after effect on the lives of our BSNL Executives if it continued with its plan to go ahead with the proposed 2nd  MVP on 18th August 2020.     

If conduct of 2nd MVP leads to any mis-happenings or untoward incidents, it will be the Sole responsibility of the BSNL Management.

And AIBSNLEA is  doubting  that whether the 2nd  MVP will be conducted by the BSNL Management in a free and fair manner.

We draw the Kind attention of CMD BSNL, Hon’ble MOC and Secretary DoT that the members of AIBSNLEA fears that by conducting 2^nd MVP,  our BSNL Management is attempting a misadventure at the cost of the lives of our own Staff & officers.

Comrade GS, AIBSNLEA had a detailed discussion with GS, SEWA BSNL Respected Shri N.D. Ram ji and Chief Patron of SEWA BSNL Respected Shri P.N.

Comrades! Please Think-over!

What are the reasons for delay in JTO to SDE (T) Promotion? Those who are singing the tunes of themselves being the saviors of Youngsters have gone to the Court and stalled the Promotions from JTO(T) to SDE(T) under  Seniority Cum Fitness 67% Quota. Due to this Court Case, thousands of BSNL recruited JTOs including 2001 Batch onwards are still waiting for their first promotion for the last 6 to 20 years

Friends, all are aware that due to consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, 2090 JTO (T) s were promoted as SDE (T) through 2015 LDCE for the vacancy year 2010-11 on 25.06.2018.

All India Eligibility List published by BSNL CO during Feb’ 2015 to grant promotions to the cadre of SDE (T) under 67% seniority cum fitness quota was challenged by some of the Office bearers  of so called Saviors  Association in the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala. The Hon’ble High Court of Kerala vide their judgment dated 05.06.2018  set aside the above said AIEL and directed to redraw an integrated AIEL on the basis of date of joining without considering training centre marks. BSNL published an AIEL on 14.06.2018 by bifurcating the earlier AIEL which only consists of JTOs recruited up to the year 1999 and accordingly, granted promotion to the cadre of SDE (Telecom) for 67% Seniority cum Fitness quota on 15.06.2018. Due to the Court directions, BSNL issued promotion orders only for 3147 JTOs even though another 4500 vacancies were available for the vacancy year 2009-10 and 2010-11. In this DPC, BSNL has promoted JTOs recruited for 1995 (partial), 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 (partial) recruitment years for the vacancy years 2009-10 and 2010-11. Though more than 4500  of SDE vacancies were available during June- 2018, but could not be filled up as the Eligibility list of JTOs recruited from 2001 onwards  have to be re-casted as per the directions of Hon’ble  High Court of Kerala w.r.t. Date of Joining, in view of the case filed by the activists of so called Saviour Association.

A contempt petition was then filed against the promotion orders dated 15.06.2018, by some of the Office bearers of the so called Saviors Association which is still pending for disposal. Due to the Contempt petition   filed by the activists of the so called Saviour Association against CMD BSNL, another 4500 vacancies could not be filled after June, 2018.   

Hence the JTO (T) to SDE (T) Promotions were badly delayed for more than two years due to Court cases filed by the so called Saviors of Youngsters which created serious resentment, de-motivation and demoralization among the Young JTOs of 2001 to 2008 batch.

BSNL filed a Review Petition against the judgment dated 05.06.2018  since  the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala in its judgment had made the training centre marks irrelevant, which is not in consonance with the DoP&T guidelines. The above said review petition is still pending for disposal.

So Comrades! Please understand who is behind the stalling of due Promotions.   Those who were gone to the Court and stalled the Promotion in the name of Contempt Petition are not come forward to withdraw the same in the interest of thousands of BSNL Recruits but they are now shedding the Crocodile Tears that JTO(T) to SDE(T) Promotions are delayed. 

Friends! Please identify the true colours of so called Saviors Association who have killed the Carrier Prospective of BSNL Recruits.

We request the whole BSNL Recruits to think, introspect and decide!

Join AIBSNLEA to safe guard the interests and rights of BSNL Recruits.

AIBSNLEA    ZINDABAD!

MAKE   AIBSNLEA   AS   NO.-1   ASSOCIATION

Window opened for exercising option to change for Associations’ subscription from 16.06.2020 to 15.07.2020

Dear Comrades!

AIBSNLEA was formally launched on 1st May’ 2004 by merging 10 separate Associations representing different disciplines of Group ‘B’ and Group ‘A’ promoted officers.

AIBSNLEA is the only Association actually represents all the Streams/ Cadres (Telecom/Finance/Civil/Electrical/Arch/TF/PA/PS/OL/CSS etc.) in BSNL and taken up the issues pertaining to the Executives of all the Streams since last 16 years without any biased manner.

AIBSNLEA is committed with its core strength for the development of the BSNL as well as to protect the Service Benefits and Legitimate Rights of their Members.

Don’t be confuse by misleading messages and propaganda in Social Media by the vested interest groups.

AIBSNLEA is always working for safe guarding the interest of its Members/Executives.

AIBSNLEA very strongly and very quickly taken up the burning issues relating to the Executives including our Young BR/DR Comrades for early settlement through letters and continuous dialogue with the Management.

All the Circle Secretaries/ District Secretaries are advised to conduct meetings through Video Conferences, wherever necessary, and motivate the Activists to collect and submit the membership forms to the concerned DDO before 15th July’ 2020 duly filled in by the new members in each Circle/SSA/Branch etc.,

All the CHQ/CWC Members/Circle/SSA/Branch Office bearers, activists and members are requested to interact with each and every Executive, explaining the Achievements, Progress and Status of the issues taken up by AIBSNLEA CHQ/Circle as listed below:

Achievements of AIBSNLEA

1. Mega Promotions- Mile Stone created in the History of DoT & BSNL- AIBSNLEA Vision and Positive approach benefited thousands of Executives by Promotion through CPCs, which is a Major breakthrough and Achievement of AIBSNLEA: Due to consistent untiring and dedicated efforts of AIBSNLEA, CPCs were conducted in all disciplines to fill up all the vacancies in almost all Cadres resulting about 14,000 Executives have been promoted in June-July, 2018 and Nov,2018 which has given a great relief and Morale booster to the Executives who were waiting for their promotions years together. It is a mile stone in the History of DOT and BSNL.

On the pretext of various pending Court cases, BSNL Management is not conducting CPCs. AIBSNLEA has written to the Management for the immediate filling up all the vacant JAG, STS Group ‘A’ & Group ‘B’ Grade posts in all disciplines in BSNL on Regular basis through CPCs before the implementation of the proposed VR Scheme and before any Notification of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy on the prospective date to avoid humiliation among the Sr. Executives.

AIBSNLEA is only Association persuaded and convinced the Management that CPCs in BSNL can also be conducted on the similar lines on which the other Departments are conducting the CPCs on the basis of Hon’ble Supreme Court’s Judgment in the case of Nagaraj on SC/ST roster implementation: BSNL Management considered our request and decided in the BSNL MC to initiate CPCs in all disciplines on the same line of other Departments. Mean-while Hon’ble Supreme Court also delivered the Judgment allowing SC/ST roster implementation in promotions which was also endorsed by DoPT. This further smoothens the way for conducting CPCs in BSNL. In the SDE(T) Promotions all the vacancies could not filled up due to the Court cases at Ernakulum and Chennai. Only 5237 JTOs were promoted as SDE in 2018.

2. 30% Superannuation benefits to directly recruited employees as per DPE guidelines: AIBSNLEA requested CMD BSNL, Director (HR/EB) and ED (Finance) to resolve superannuation benefits to directly recruited employees as per DPE guidelines and BSNL should contribute 12% as Superannuation Benefits in respect of Direct Recruits to fulfill the limit of 30% contribution. The remuneration committee of BSNL Board recommended to start a Superannuation benefit Trust to directly recruited BSNL employees with a contribution of 3% initially and further it can be reviewed on the basis of financial health of the Company. DoT issued the Presidential Directives in this regard and BSNL Management created a Trust and other formalities in this regard. On our persuasion BSNL Board has increased the contribution from 3% to 5% but we are continuously demanding 12% contribution. CMD BSNL assured to increase further 2% in the contributions to the Superannuation benefits by March, 2019 but remain pending due to Financial Crunch in BSNL. AIBSNLEA will continue its efforts in this regard.

3. JAO 2010 Batch option case: Due to hard and continuous persuasion with deep commitment and understanding of the issue results in getting released the order allowing JAO 2010 Batch (Departmental 40% Quota) to exercise their option for fixation of pay in the revised pay from the date of promotion in the grade of JAO, as one time dispensation.

4. Group Term Insurance for the BSNL Executives: It is our major achievement and relief for all the Young Comrades AIBSNLEA attended all the meetings with the Committee members constituted to discuss the methodology for induction of Group Term Insurance (GTI) for its executives. Implementation of GTI Scheme for BSNL Executives has been finalized & MoU between LIC & BSNL is finalized & signed between LIC & BSNL on 27.12.2019. The Scheme has already been implemented w.e.f. 01.03.2019 with annual Premium of Rs.9440/- for a coverage of Rs.50 lakh for all the Executives up to 50 years of age.

5. Reversion of 2001 Recruited JTOs Passed LDCE 2007: Due to AIBSNLEA continuous persuasion with the Management a Committee has been formed and Committee Report is likely to be placed before the Management. We will continue our efforts in this regard.

6. Rs. 22820/- Pay Fixation case of JTOs/JAOs post recruited 2007: AIBSNLEA along with AITEEA requested CMD BSNL for the removal of pay anomaly in this regard. Accepting our request CMD, BSNL constituted a Committee headed by PGM (PF) Smt. A. Panda to examine the issue and submit the report. We also gave presentation to the Committee and the Committee has submitted its report to the competent authority for consideration. We are pursuing with Director (HR) and CMD BSNL for the resolution of the issue. We have explained that already some Pay Anomaly Cases of JTOs 2005 batch, JAO 2010 batch and Asstt. of CSS cadre have been settled by BSNL Management. In the same line this issue also needs settlement but case remains pending.

7. Management Trainees Recruitment Rule-2009: AIBSNLEA consistent efforts yielded results in getting deferred MT Exam – 2015 but some Executives Associations and Non-Executives Unions are continuously making efforts for MT recruitment. Our considered opinion is that since young and talented executives having B Tech/M Tech, CA/ICWA, MBA qualifications at the level of JTO / SDE are available in BSNL, hence there should not be any lateral induction above JTO cadre. The lateral induction above the JTO cadre will block the career progression of these young talented executives available in BSNL. But the BSNL Management has further notified MT Recruitment from Internal Quota by conducted the exams on 17th March, 2019. Against this AIBSNELA has protested. Management has to scrap the MTRRs to provide smooth career progression to the existing executives of BSNL.

8. E1+ 5 increments benefit to JTOs/JAOs: Management Committee of the BSNL Board approved E1+5 increments benefits to the SRD JTOs 2010 batch and JAOs 2013 batch but it is pending for BSNL Board Approval, our efforts are continue. Like that AIBSNLEA continuously pursuing with the Management for grant of E1+5 increments to the DR JAOs 2015 & 2018 batch LDCE JAOs 2016 batch and LDCE JTOs  of 2016 & 2017 batches...

9. Due to consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, the FR22(1)(a)(i) benefits extended to the Ex. Officiating JTOs w.e.f. 1.1..2007.

10. Withdrawal of Additional Increment in the same scale on functional promotion under EPP: DoT vide its letter dated 05.07.2017 withdraw additional Increment in the same scale on functional promotion under EPP. Against this, AIBSNLEA immediately filed an OA in the Hon’ble PB CAT New Delhi for quashing the order. Even after that, DoT continued to reduce the Pension of the BSNL retiree Executives, against this AIBSNLEA filed a Contempt Petition in the Hon’ble PB CAT New Delhi. Thereafter DoT stopped reducing the pension/ revising the Pay fixation by obtaining an under taking from the retiring executives, DoT has filed Writ Petition in the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi wherein AIBSNLEA has filed a caveat. The case was heard and Posted for next hearing in April 2020. Due to COVID-19 Lock down it is not yet heard.

11. AIBSNLEA is actively Participated in all the Agitation calls given by AUAB and regularly attending the meetings to discuss the issues related to the Revival Plan, Financial viability of BSNL, allocation of 4G spectrum to BSNL, Monetization of non-core Land, the issues of revision of Pay, Pension and Payment of pension contribution on actual basis instead of maximum of the pay scale, BSNL MRS etc. To get settled the demands, AUAB launched series of agitation calls including 3 days strike and March to Sanchar Bhawan etc., in all the Agitational Calls AIBSNLEA was in fore front and actively participated and succeeded by getting Revival Plan Approved by the Union Cabinet on 23.10.2019 with a) 4G spectrum and 18% GST free of cost, b) No financial implication for BSNL on VRS, c) Land monetization for loan repayment and development, d) Rs 8,500 Crore Bond for Restructuring of loan. Contentious issues like E2 & E3 Pay Scale will be settled before BSNL & MTNL Merger.

12. Tower Subsidiary formation: Govt. of India with the Union Cabinet approval dated 12.09.2017 has created a Subsidiary Tower Company fully owned BSNL. The company has been registered in the name BSNL Tower Corporation Ltd. on 04.01.2018. But, DoT arbitrarily appointed Shri Amit Yadav, JS (Admn), an IAS officer, as the CMD of the Subsidiary Company which created apprehension that Govt. may any time sell out the Subsidiary Company through strategic business partner. Against this, AUAB protested organizationally and decided to protest legally also. Accordingly, AIBSNLEA filed a case in the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi resulting BTCL still not in operation.

13. Pension Contribution on Acutal basic Pay instead of Maximum of the Pay Scale: AIBSNLEA continuously pursuing with DoT, DoPT and Dept of Expenditure for the Pension contribution on actual basic pay instead of maximum of the pay scales as per F.R 116.

14. Modification in BSNL MSRR regarding Pay fixation from E5 to E6 to DGM (Adhoc): AIBSNLEA succeeded in getting approved from BSNL Board the modification in BSNL MSRR regarding Pay fixation from E5 to E6 to DGM (Adhoc). Many stagnating Executives are benefited by this.

15. Promotion from DGM (Adhoc) to DGM (Regular): Due to consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, Promotion Orders have been issued from DGM Adhoc to Regular. It is the AIBSNLEA Achievement i.e. 1st time in the history of BSNL.

16. Centralization of TR Activities: We strongly protested against the decision of the BSNL Management to transfer all TR work to Circle Office and requested that it has to be reviewed immediately as it is not practical. We suggested that for very small SSAs, it can be centralized at BA level but medium and larger SSAs, TR work should be continued with the SSA for effective bill collection and persuasion, settling of billing related complaints, Outstanding Pursuit, handling of EB Customers etc., Management is very much convinced on our suggestions and assured to review the policy.

17. SLA based Outsourcing of CFA and OFC works: Management has already issued orders for the SLA based Outsourcing of works. In most of the SSAs, EOI are not finalized and manipulations by the Contractors are being reported from many places because of the Clusters and Operation & Mtce., is not monitored and maintained properly. We continuously provided the feedback to the Management in this regard.

18. e-DPC/e-APAR: AIBSNLEA has taken up the issue of early conduction of DPC through e-DPC resulting e-APAR got introduced in BSNL in February’ 2017 in ERP Module for the year 2016-17 for streamlining e-DPC related work. As a result, e-DPC was introduced and successfully conducted for DGM (T) Promotion in Feb.’ 2020.

19. 3rd PRC Implementation with full fitment benefit: We could convince the BSNL full Board resulting it has been recommended by BSNL Board with 15% fitment for the Executives. Due to performing continuous losses by BSNL, the recommendation is pending for seeking relaxation on Affordability Clause in DoT.

20. Standard Pay scale of E2 and E3: AIBSNLEA will continue its efforts to get implemented the BSNL’s earlier proposal sent to DoT on 06.06.2016 and 12.06.2017 to provide justice to all the Executives in order to remove their Pay Anomaly and Stagnation. DoT referred the case to DoE and DPE for the clarification to introduce parallel Pay Scales of E1A and E2A in BSNL but DPE and DoE has replied that it is the prerogative of the Administrative Ministry/ PSU to decide the Pay Scales of Executives in the Pay Band available.

21. Govt. funding for Ex-Gratia on VRS: AIBSNLEA demand of payment of Ex-Gratia to the VRS optees by the Govt. from Budgetary Support instead of raising Bonds by BSNL has also been accepted finally.

22. Withdrawal of ambiguous CDR IPMS Score Card for CFA Segment.

23. Implementation of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy - Change of Designations on each Time Bound up-gradation on functional basis: On our persuasion, Management Committee of BSNL Board directed PGM Pers. to discuss and take the views of all the Stake holder Executive Associations and thereafter bring to BSNL MC for clearance. Accordingly, PGM (Pers) conducted meetings with all the Stake holders, wherein AIBSNLEA submitted its views/suggestions emphasizing the implementation of Khan Committee report in true sense i.e. Time Bound Non-Post Based functional promotions should be available up-to AGM level, senior SDE should not be inducted as functional post, all AGMs/ CAOs completed 4 years of regular service should be designated as Jt. DGM and the bench mark for promotions should be on numerical basis to minimize the droppings, the residency period from SDE to DE / AO to CAO should be 5 years instead of 12 years, reference point for implementation of CPSU CH should be date of last CPC conducted or the year of Recruitment and implementation of SC/ST roster as per DOPT instructions etc. Among these suggestions, Management considered some suggestions i.e. Time Bound Non-Post Based functional promotions made available up-to AGM level, AGMs/ CAOs completed 4 years of regular service are to be designated as Jt. DGM and the bench mark for promotions are on numerical basis. AIBSNLEA efforts are continuing for the consideration of remaining suggestions i.e. senior SDE should not be inducted as functional post, the residency period from SDE to DE / AO to CAO should be 7 years instead of 12 years and implementation of SC/ST roster as per DOPT instructions etc. BSNL Board has approved the CPSU CH w.e.f. 01.07.2018.

06.07.2020  GS, AIBSNLEA writes to Shri P.K.Purwar, CMD BSNL  and requested for immediate  issuance of Regular Promotions  in all the Streams/Grades  in order to fill up the huge vacuum created due to VRS-2019 and to maintain the vast BSNL Telecom Network fault free and the Administrative Offices efficiently.  AIBSNLEA strongly oppose any look-after arrangement in higher grade

Thousands of Executives in Higher Scales are working in the entry level of

JTO equivalent grades for 5 to 30 years and waiting for their 1st promotion

i)JTOs recruited from 1988 in Arch wing,

ii) JTOs recruited from 1997 in Electrical and Telecom Factory wings,

iii)Thousands of JTOs in Telecom wing from 1999, 2001 to 2008, 2010,2013 etc.,

iv)JTOs recruited in 1998 in Civil Wing are waiting.

Like that:

SDE(C)s are waiting for EE(C) promotion from 1998

SDE(E)s are waiting for EE(E) promotion from 2000

SDE(TF)s are waiting for AGM(TF) promotion from 2001

SDE(T)s are waiting for AGM(T) promotion from 2004

AOs are waiting for CAO promotion from 2008.

Like that promotion from PA to PS, PS to PPS and CSS Cadres are also held up.

It is observed that, BSNL Management was deliberately dragging the Promotion and putting the career of the Young Executives at great risk. At the early stage of their career itself, they are getting de-motivated and demoralized. But to our surprise, there are no hurdles in the Promotion at the Top level. It is pertinent to mention that Un-interrupted promotions orders were issued in the grade of GM and CGM level, in some cases excess promotions were also given at GM and CGM level for which BSNL Management is not having any reluctance at all. Even on their last working day, some ITS Officers were given promotion, we welcome that. But thousands of Absorbed BSNL Executives were retired without getting due promotion when there was no hindrance for giving them promotion.

When a Group A Officer in BSNL gets Time bound Promotion along with designation change from E4 to E9 Scale with the designations of Asst General Manager ->Dy General Manger ->Jt GM ->Addl GM in 17 years and then GM to Sr GM also, but a JTO(T) joined in 1999 ,2001 to 2008, 2010 and 2013 is still continuing as JTO, JTO(Arch) joined in 1988 still continuing as JTO, JTOs recruited from 1997 in Electrical and Telecom Factory wings are continuing as JTOs and JTOs recruited in 1998 in Civil Wing are continuing as JTOs.

All the Executives are expected that the due promotion will be given during the implementation of VRS. But even 5 months after the VRS, nothing is moving in  BSNL CO and making the situation very worst. There is a huge stagnation in promotion among different wings.

Most of the Executives are drawing Two to Four Stages in the higher Scales than their Substantive Scale/Grade viz., a JTO of E-1 Scale is drawing E-4/ E-5 (AGM/DGM) scale and a SDE or AO equivalent of E-2 scale is drawing E-5/E-6 (DGM/SG-DGM) Scales and waiting for their Regular Promotions from years together. Since the Executives are already working/drawing the higher scales, promotion is not going to make any financial implication either to BSNL or DoT. The regular promotion orders can be issued from among the Executives working in higher scales.

AIBSNLEA strongly oppose any look-after arrangement in higher grade but we demand immediate promotions on ‘Regular Basis’, considering the post VRS vacuum. If immediate steps are not taken, Services will be severely affected since the Executives are reluctant to take higher responsibilities on short-term/temporary basis.

04.07.2020   GS, AIBSNLEA writes to Shri P.K.Purwar, CMD BSNL and requested for immediate creation of Trust/Fund  for Post Retirement Medical Benefit for BSNL Recruits and releasing the  full pending arrears to the  Trust with effect from 01.01.2007 so as to mitigate the suffering being faced/would be faced  by the BSNL Direct Recruits and their families after VRS, Retirement,  Death etc., and to avoid any resentment and frustration among the BSNL Direct Recruits:-

                                             Suggestions of AIBSNLEA

1.     PRMB should be a well defined contribution just like Superannuation Pension fund, EPFO Contribution ,Gratuity Fund etc.,

2.     This 3.3% of PRMB should be made as Defined contribution & Separate BSNL PRMB Trust should be formed otherwise this 3.3% contribution has no meaning & it should not be counted for Superannuation Benefits contribution.

3.     The effective date of creation of the Trust/Fund for Post Retirement Medical Benefit for the Direct Recruits Employees of BSNL must be 01.01.2007 i.e., the date of effect of 2nd PRC recommendations otherwise it will be a gross injustice to the BSNL Direct Recruits.

2nd Membership Verification of Executives Association on 18.08.2020

Vote & Support AIBSNLEA

to save BSNL and its Executives

Dear Comrades!

Today, AIBSNLEA, the only Association actually represents all the Streams/ Cadres in BSNL and taken up the issues pertaining to the Executives of all the Streams with utmost sincerity and  without any biased manner since last 16 years filed the nomination for participating in the Second MVP.  

AIBSNLEA CHQ today insisted the BSNL Management to ensure the following for the conduction of 2^nd MVP in a free and fair manner,

1)  Special Permission to be obtained from Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Health for continuous extensive travel by the Central Head Quarters Leaders/Circle Secretaries in Flights/Trains/Buses throughout India for 2nd MVP Campaign without quarantine since MHA has notified compulsory quarantine for those who are travelled by Flights, Trains and buses from one State to another and Inter Districts from 5 to 14 days according to the Pandemic situation in the concerned State/District.

2)  Since Mass gathering and conduction of meetings for 2^nd MVP canvassing has also banned by the MHA, hence Special Permission is to be obtained from the MHA/ concerned State Authorities i.e., from Chief Secretaries/Director General of Police/ District Collectors for conducting 2nd MVP Canvass meetings at District Head Quarters/State Capital, wherein Central/Circle/District Office bearers will participate. It is pertinent to mention that our members are working in the SSAs and SDCAs throughout India hence 2nd MVP Campaign should reach each and every Voter, as every Voter wants to listen their Leaders.  It is our Democratic Right to canvass for the 2nd MVP throughout India and it should not be restricted.

3)  100% BSNL Executives are not able to reach the Polling booths on the day of polling since Public Transport, Metro, Local Train Services are not available in many places. Hence, Vehicles should be provided by the BSNL Management to those executives not able to come to Polling Booths for casting their votes.

4)  Special Permission to be obtained from Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Health and concerned State Authorities for the movement of BSNL Executives from the containment Zones and Hot Spots for canvassing and to reach the Polling Booths to cast their votes.

5)  MHA has recently issued new guidelines on June 29, 2020 for Unlock-2, wherein many restrictions are continued till 31.07.2020 and may be further extended for August 2020, also.

6)  If conduction of 2nd MVP leads to any mis-happenings or untoward incidents, it will be the Sole responsibility of the BSNL Management and Special Insurance Coverage should be arranged for all the Executives before the conduction of 2nd MVP since there is a serious Life threat due to Covid-19.

All the Circle Secretaries/ District Secretaries are advised to form Committees and conduct meetings through Video Conferences, wherever necessary with the involvement of Organizing Secretary/CHQ Office bearers, and motivate the Activists to collect and submit the membership forms to the concerned DDO before 15th July’ 2020 duly filled in by the new members in each Circle/SSA/Branch etc..

All the CHQ/CWC Members/Circle/SSA/Branch Office bearers, activists and members are requested to interact with each and every Executive, explaining the Achievements, Progress and Status of the issues taken up by AIBSNLEA CHQ/Circle.

All the members are requested not to be misguided by the Malice/Mischievous Propaganda/Campaign in the Social Media by the vested interested groups/Mongers. 

We request all the BSNL Executives to analyze the facts, approach of AIBSNLEA on the issues of all disciplines, quick action thereon by AIBSNLEA, and then cast your vote in favour of AIBSNLEA so that the future of the Executives is secured and BSNL is saved…
