22.10.2013 : CMD
writes to DoT for payment of arrears
due to 78.2% IDA fixation benefit: It
is reliably learnt that vide DO no.
1-19/2012-PAT (BSNL) dated
21.10.2013, Sh. R.K. Upadhyay, CMD,
BSNL wrote to Secy(T), DoT to reconsider
the decision of payment of arrears
to the BSNL employees for the period
01.01.2007 to 09.06.2013 in order of
positive boosting of moral of BSNL
employees at this crucial financial
position of BSNL.
It is also
understood that CMD has also
mentioned in the letter that as per
the agreement dated 12.06.2012 it
was agreed that the actual payment
will be made prospectively and
arrears will be deferred till the
financial position of the company
improves, but with the Presidential
Directives dated 10.06.2013 no
arrears will be paid. It has become
difficult to extent similar
treatment to working employees and
those who retired between 01.01.2007
upto 09.06.2013. He also requested
DoT to extent the benefit of 78.2%
IDA revision to the
officials/officers retired during
01.01.2007 upto 09.06.2013. |

22.10.2013:GS,
President, OS(East) met Member(S),
DoT Sh. S.C. Mishra and requested
him to confirm his presence to
attend the 4th AIC
of AIBSNLEA at Nashik(Maharashtra).
Member(S) mentioned that he will
confirm his programme shortly. We
had a detailed discussion about the
revision of pension and its arrears
for the executives/non executives of
BSNL retired prior to 01.01.2007 and
post 01.01.2007 to 09.06.2013.
Member(S) informed that he has
cleared the following proposal which
is being sent to DoP&PW /DPE/ DoE
for approval
(a) For
pre 2007 pensioners, the pension
will be revised as on 01.01.2007
applying the 78.2% IDA fixation but
the actual payment will be from
10.06.2013. The pension arrears
between 01.01.2007 and 09.06.2013
will not be paid.
(b) For
post 2007 pensioners, their pay will
be notionally fixed as on 01.01.2007
like serving employees by applying
78.2% IDA fixation. Permission is
being sought from DoP&PW for
relaxation of Rule-33 & 34 of CCS
Pension Rules-1962 so that pension
can be calculated on notional pay.
Their pension accordingly will be
revised from their date of
retirement but actual payment will
be from 10.06.2013 only. However,
other retrial benefits like leave
encashment, DCRG, Commutation will
be paid based on the revised
pension.
We protested against such
deprivation to the pensioners and
mentioned that withholding of
pension arrears is against natural
justice and decision by the Hon'ble
APEX court. Such decision will
unnecessarily drag the pensioners to
court of law. Member(S) mentioned
that he is aware such developments
likely to take place in future but
in view of the Presidential order
dated 10.06.2013 nothing else can be
proposed. |

22.10.2013:GS,
President, OS(East), AGS(HQ) met CMD,
BSNL and requested him to attend our
4th All India Conference at Nashik
as Chief Guest. CMD assured that
upto Monday he will confirm his
programme.
We also extended our sincere thanks
to him for writing a DO letter to
Secy(T), DoT to consider and modify
Presidential Directives issued on
10.06.2013 for implementation of
78.2% IDA pay fixation order for
considering the payment of arrears
to BSNL employees and pension
arrears to BSNL pensioners who
retired during 01.01.2007 to
10.06.2013. CMD appreciated our
concern and assured to discuss the
matter in DoT in person. |
|
22.10.2013GS,
President, OS(East) met Member(Fin.),
DoT Ms. Annie Moraes and discussed
the 78.2% IDA implementation to BSNL
Pensioners. We protested the
proposal of withholding the pension
arrears and requested to consider
the proposal to avoid harassment and
injustice to the pensioners. She
appreciated our concern and assured
to have a fresh look in to the
matter. |

22.10.2013:GS,
President, OS(East) met JST, DoT Sh.
V. Umashankar and discussed the
78.2% IDA implementation to BSNL
Pensioners. We protested the
proposal of withholding the pension
arrears and requested to consider
the proposal to avoid harassment and
injustice to the pensioners. JST
opined that he is in favor of giving
the pension arrears but for quick
decision and immediate relief to
pensioners he approved the present
proposal. |

18.10.2013: GS
met Member(Services), DoT and
requested for implementation of
78.2% IDA fitment benefit to BSNL
Pensioners, who retired Pre
01.01.2007 and Post retired
01.01.2007. Member(Services)
mentioned that now the case after
the comments of Member(Fin.), AST &
JST has came to his office & now
finally he has drafted the comments
i.e.
(a) Pre
01.01.2007 retired BSNL Pensioners: Their
pension will be consolidated pension
w.r.t. 78.2% IDA fitment benefit,
30% IDA pay fixation on 01.01.2007 &
accordingly their commutation DCRG
benefits will also revised.
(b) Post
01.01.2007 retired BSNL Pensioners: Draft
contained that BSNL Pensioners
retired after 01.01.2007 & before
10.06.2013, pension will be
notionally fixed up on the day of
his retirement and this proposal is
being sent to Deptt. of Expenditure,
DOP&PW & DPE for clearance because
at present no rule permits pension
revision on notional pay fixation.
The commutation DCRG & other
pensioner's benefits will be
consolidated w.e.f. 01.01.2007
itself. The actual payment on 78.2%
IDA fitment benefit will be paid
after 10.06.2013 only. No arrears
will be paid to BSNL pensioners
before 10.06.2013 since the BSNL
serving employees will also not get
arrears as per DoT order.We
emphasized that revised pension
arrears to BSNL pensioners can't be
denied as per Govt. rules & Hon'ble
Supreme Court judgments. Member
(Services) appreciated our concern &
agreed that legal cases can't be
avoided. |

10.10.2013: GS,
AGS(Finance) met Member (Services),
DOT and requested for early
issuances of 78.2% IDA pay fixation
order of BSNL Pensioners. Members
(Services) mentioned that the
proposal for fixation of pension
w.e.f. 10.6.2013 is in internal
clearance but till date it has not
been finalized due to different
views. Regarding arrear payment, he
mentioned that it is directly
related to BSNL serving employees
and in DoT order dated 10.6.2013,
BSNL serving employees will not get
arrears. Hence, BSNL Pensioners will
also get the same treatment.
Moreover, BSNL has commented about
revision of pension is "question
does not arise" has
also created problems which has to
be corrected by BSNL. However, he
told that after the internal
decision of DOT only the case may be
sent to nodal Ministers for
clearance. |

28.09.2013: : GS,
President, OS(East) and some Odisha
circle comrades met Sh. Shabaz Ali,
DDG(TPF), DoT and Govt. Nominee BSNL
Board director today at Bhubaneswar,
Odisha and discussed:
1) DoT
support to BSNL in its growth: We
requested to provide Govt support to
BSNL for its growth and survival,
because without the support of Govt.
No PSU can flourish/survive. DDG (TPF)
appreciated our concern and
explained that Govt. is serious for
the growth of BSNL and recently
Govt. Has recommended for the refund
of BWA spectrum charges of Rs 8300
Crs to BSNL and to waive off the
national loan. Hence, BSNL will be
benefited by getting relief of Rs
1400 Crs against national loan
payment to DoT as well as refund of
BWA spectrum charges Rs 8300 Crs
which will help in its growth. The
payment of pension contribution on
actual basic pay is being taken up
by DoT to cabinet along with the
MTNL employee's pension case
shortly.
2) 78.2% IDA fixation for BSNL
pensioners: We
requested for early issuance of the
order of 78.2 % IDA merger for the
BSNL pensioners. DDG (TPF) informed
that the matter has been referred to
DoP & PW for concurrence of
necessary relaxation to fix up pay
notionally for BSNL pensioners on
last pay drawn and paid. Hence the
pension arrears can be paid from the
date of retirement of BSNL
pensioners retired after 1-1-2007
and before 10-06-2013. He mentioned
that DoP&PW concurrence is expected
within 15-20 days and thereafter the
order from DoT will be issued. He
also clarified that it doesn't need
approval of cabinet since DPE OM
dated 2-4-2009 was issued after
cabinet approval only. He assured
early action in this regard.
3) HR
issues in BSNL: DDG(TPF)
as BSNL board Director mentioned
that now in all board meetings BSNL
management will apprise the status
of HR issues and will ensure true
implementation of cabinet decision
on ITS officers deployment and
promotion to BSNL absorbees. He also
mentioned that absorption process in
BSNL against CGM/GM/DGM posts under
rule 37 pension rule is over and
shortly the order will be issued.
Similarly, the promotion order of
BSNL absorbed Gr 'A' level officers
will also be issued against
JAG/SAG/HAG level posts.
Finally he appealed that the BSNL
employees should sincerely work for
its growth, since the Govt. Is
providing its full support to BSNL |

against the BSNL's reply given to
DoT on this issue wherein DoT is
making issue complicated as
mentioned by Member(S) in
yesterday's meeting. GM(Estt.)
clarified that BSNL has simply

Rathi, BSNL's Advocate in Harayana
Circle and their legal opinion is

18.09.2013:GS,
GS AIRBSNLEWA Sh. Kishan Singh and
CS UP(East) Sh. P.C. Rastogi met Sh.
S.C. Mishra, Member(Services), DoT
and discussed regarding
implementation of DPE OM dated
02.04.2009 for 78.2% IDA Pay fitment
benefit to BSNL Pensioners who
retired pre 01.01.2007 and post
01.01.2007. Member(S) mentioned that
matter is under consideration to the
Internal Finance of DoT and a
decision is to be taken that whether
DoT can implement order w.e.f.
10.06.2013 and the clearance is not
required from DoP&PW or Cabinet on
this issue. And in case the matter
is sent to other Ministries, the
reply received from BSNL , wherein
BSNL has categorically mentioned
that "The
referred orders have been
implemented in reference of absorbed
BSNL employees as on 10.06.2013
only. Since the orders are effective
only from this date, the issue of
pay revision , notional or
otherwise, of those employees who
retired between 01.012007 and
09.06.2013 does not arise".
has un-wantedly added this para in
the reply which may create problem
and it needs rectification. However,
he clarified that the matter is
being examined on all these aspects.
From the discussion, it appears that
the issue is being made further
complicated on the pretext of BSNL's
reply which can be resolved with the
intervention of Secretary, DoT or
Hon'ble MOC&IT. It is a great
discrimination to BSNL Pensioners
who retired prior to 10.06.2013. |

the action taken report on the
minutes of the 22nd meeting of
standing committee of voluntary
agencies (SCOVA), dated 12-09-2013,

confirmed that DOT is processing to
extend the benefit of 78.2 % IDA
merger to the pre 2007 and post 2007

This has already been reported by us
on 27-08-2013 and also on 05-09-2013
when we met DoT officers and
discussed the issue. This is a
serious injustice to the pensioners

Cell under the control of Memeber(S).
However, he mentioned that one
executive order from DoT may solve
pension revision issue of both the
pensioners pre and post 01.01.2007
and advised to take up the matter
with Member(S).
(b)
Implementation of E2 and E3 standard
IDA pay scales for JTO/SDE
equivalent executives in BSNL: We
requested for implementation of E2
and E3 standard IDA pay scales for
JTO/SDE equivalent executives in
BSNL. JS(T) mentioned that he is
aware of the issue but was non
committal.
During discussion JS(T) expressed
his serious concern about the
Viability of BSNL and advised that
BSNL Unions/Associations should take
immediate steps for the revival of
BSNL. We explained that apart from
many reasons the accountability and
discipline in most of the Circles is
missing, also the Govt. support to
BSNL. He appreciated our concern and
mentioned that whether VRS can help
BSNL? But it can be implemented with
the agreement of BSNL
Unions/Associations. We mentioned
that even today we are finding
difficulty in manning the 29,000
Telephones exchanges with the
available man-power and comparison
with the private operators is not
justified since they work on
out-sourcing pattern. |

Historical achievement of Forum of BSNL Unions and Associations on
implementation of 78.2% IDA Pay fixation
Forum of BSNL Unions and Associations continuously persuaded for
implementation of DPE OM dated 2nd April,2009 on 78.2% IDA
Pay fixation for the last four years. The OM was issued as a total
package of 2nd PRC recommendations and that time
BSNL's net profit for the year 2008-09 was Rs. 574 crores after tax and
1272 crores before tax. But the
BSNL Management continuously pleaded that since BSNL has started making
losses since the years 2009-10 onwards, it is not possible to implement
the DPE order. BSNL Unions and Associations also did not pressurize the
Management for its implementation. But on dated 25.05.2012 & 21.05.2013 BSNL
Management issued order for the payment of all the allowances as
recommended by 6th CPC to the deputationist ITS Officers in
BSNL ignoring the losses of BSNL which gave clear cut message that
BSNL's losses is not the real criteria to deny the implementation of DPE
order but it is the willingness of the Management to whom they give or
to whom they deny. It created unrest and resentment among the BSNL
employees and the Forum of BSNL Unions / Associations served notice of
Indefinite strike w.e.f. 12th June 2012 and Mass Dharna on 6th
June,2013 which was very successfully implemented but later on the
indefinite strike call was deferred in view of the agreement signed
between BSNL Management and the representatives of BSNL
Unions/Associations on 12th June,2012.
BSNL Board approved the proposal for implementation of 78.2% IDA pay
fixation and sent to DoT in Sept'2012 for approval. DoT raised queries
twice which were immediately replied by BSNL. But, instead of giving
approval DoT referred the case to BRPSE for comments since BSNL is
making continues losses. BRPSE replied that it has no concern with
regard to pay and allowances paid by the PSU but it is concern only when
some revival plan is submitted. Delay seriously frustrated the BSNL
employees and finally the BSNL Unions/Associations served notice for
Indefinite strike w.e.f. 12th June 2013. In response to the
agitation Call given by Forum, the DoT administration and BSNL
Management started thinking for the settlement of issue and finally with
the intervention of Secy(T), DoT Hon'ble MOC&IT approved the proposal on
10th June,2013 and on the same day DoT issued the
Presidential Directive for implementation of DPE OM dated 2nd
April'2009 on 78.2% IDA pay fixation. On the basis of DoT Order, BSNL
Corporate Office also issued order for implementation of DPE ON dated 2nd
April,2013. In this manner, the consistent efforts of BSNL
Unions/Associations made Historical achievement for BSNL employees.
AIBSNLEA was always at the forefront during struggle.
Once again, we extended our sincere
thanks to all the members for their active participation in Mass DHARNA
& Demonstration and also readiness to make indefinite strike call a
complete success. We also extended sincere thanks to all the Senior
Officers in DoT and BSNL for their positiveness in implementing the DPE
order. |

fixation order. BSNL order will follows immediately. Forum of BSNL

The representatives of

submitted memorandum copy regarding measures to be taken for revival
and revitalization of BSNL and MTNL, the strategic Telecom PSUs, to
protect the interest of the Telecom Industry as well as that of the

Secy(T) appreciated our concern and referring to our discussions held on
04.06.2013, he
further told that since GoM are meeting on 11.6.2013 to discuss this
issue, the strike call given is not proper. We mentioned that 78.2%
IDA pay fixation case recommend by BSNL Board on the basis of an
agreement signed on 12.06.2012 between Forum of BSNL Unions/Associations with BSNL
Management is pending in
DoT for the last 10 months and now referred to BRPSE for comments whereas,
the BRPSE Officers has clarified that since
BSNL is not a sick PSU, BRPSE need not to give any comment & it is the
concern PSU and administrative Ministry to decide such pay/allowance
related issues. We also requested even if the comments are necessarily
required he may use his good office to get the early comments from BRPSE
for early settlement of the issue to avoid unrest in BSNL. Chairman TC &
Secy(T) further mentioned that he
don't want to go for further discussions on this issue since the BSNL
Management has signed the agreement and he assured that he will try to
resolve the issue at the earliest and advised us to speak him tomorrow
evening on this issue.
However, we have to continue to prepare for
successful implementation of the indefinite strike call w.e.f. 12th
June' 2013 till the time issue is resolved favorably. GS, AGS(Fin)
attended the meeting. |

GS
discussed with Sr. GM(Pers.) regarding
(a) Holding
of CPC from SDE to DE promotion to fill up 1860 DEs posts
since the court case in Hon'ble CAT Chennai is disposed off. Sr. GM(Pers.)
mentioned that CPC process has been initiated to DE Promotion but the
approval of the Competent Authority is to be taken to operate SDEs
seniority list no. 6 & 7. We pleaded that seniority
list no. 6
has already operated in the year 2010, while promoting 2700 DEs.
However, he assured an early action in this regard.
(b) CPC to
fill up DGM vacant posts:
We requested
to file petition in Hon'ble High Court Kerala in 147 SDEs (LDCE quota)
seniority case for early pronouncement of the judgment since it is
reserved for more than four months period. Sr. GM(Pers.) mentioned that
BSNL's advocate in Kerala has been requested to file petition in this
matter. |
