Management Committee of BSNL Board on 01.06.2016 wherein it was approved and now it will be sent to DoT directly for approval instead of BSNL Board. The assurance given by CMD BSNL is honoured. The Matter needs detail discussions and to decide strategies to get resolve the issues. Khan Committee recommendations are available at (Annexure – III). Implementation of CPSU cadre hierarchy - Change of designations on each Time Bound up-gradation on functional basis: BSNL Management constituted a Joint Committee headed by Shri M.A. Khan, ED (NB) to submit a report on CPSU Cadre Hierarchy, standard E2-E3 Pay scale to JTO/SDE equivalent executives and first time bound promotions on completion of four years. The Khan Committee submitted its recommendations on both the issues i.e. CPSU Cadre Hierarchy and standard E2-E3 Pay scale to JTO/SDE equivalent executives in the month of September 2015 but the nodal units i.e. Pers. Cell and Estt. Cell of BSNL Corporate Office made their all-out efforts to dilute/deviate from the Khan Committee report. However, after giving Organizational Actions program by the United Forum of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA and on the intervention of CMD BSNL, regarding Implementation of CPSU cadre hierarchy it has been decided to implement the Khan Committee Recommendation in regard to the implementation of CPSU hierarchy wherein time bound functional promotions shall be given to the executives after every five years up to the level of AGM/DET/CAO/equivalent. The promotions up to AGM/DE/CAO/equivalent level shall be independent of number of posts and the promotion from AGM/DE/CAO/equivalent to DGM (Equivalent) shall be restricted to availability of posts. If the posts are less, remaining may be promoted as Jt. DGM. The proposal to this effect shall be put up to the board for approval by 15th June 2016. The Matter needs detail discussions and to decide strategies to get resolve the issues. Khan Committee recommendations are available at (Annexure – IV).  Date of effect of Implementation of revised IDA Pay Scales for the Executives w.e.f. 1.10.2000: BSNL management has granted benefit of residency period w.e.f. 1.10.2000 to the Executives i.e. JTO/SDE (Civil/Electrical/Arch./TF) Engineering wings, CSSs, PAs/PSs, JAOs etc. for whom the RRs were notified after 1.10.2000 and accordingly the pay scales were upgraded. Whereas, as per Dr. Vinay Shahi’s committee recommendations, the upgraded scales for the above executives’ should have been implemented w.e.f. 1.10.2000 on actual basis or notional basis. BSNL Corporate Office has issued order of notional pay fixation for JAOs only w.e.f. 01.10.2000. We are demanding similar benefit to other upgraded cadres also. The proposal moved by PGM (BW) is pending in Estt. Cell for further necessary action. However, after giving Organizational Actions program by the United Forum of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA and on the intervention of CMD BSNL, regarding Date of effect of Implementation of revised IDA Pay Scales for the Executives w.e.f. 1.10.2000 the case has been submitted by Estt Cell for direction to Director (HR) on the demand of the United forum of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA. Further, the proposal will be submitted to competent authority as per discussion with United Forum by 30th June 2016.  Time bound promotion from E-5 to E-6 to the DGMs promoted from Group ”B” Executives. The proposal for modification in BSNL MS RR 2009 for Time bound promotion from E-5 to E-6 to the DGMs promoted from Group ”B” Executives was discussed in the BSNL Board meeting but could not be considered due to some queries made by Govt. Directors. However, the same shall be put up again for consideration of the Board or the proposal shall be de-linked from the agenda of Board, if permitted. The Matter needs discussions and to decide strategies to get resolve the issues.  One time placement of SDE to Sr. SDE: As per DoT agreement and commitment of BSNL at the time of absorption of Group ‘B’ officers in BSNL on 01.10.2000, the SDEs who completed 5 years of regular service would be provided one time placement in the Sr. SDE grade. A proposal to give relief to the stagnating SDEs for their placement in the Sr. SDEs grade through Cadre Review Concept, on the back drop of the demand of the Association to reduce the eligibility criteria from 12 years to 5 years (As approved by Telecom Commission in 1994) for placement in the existing scheme, was approved by DoT and discussed in the GoM. This was subsequently remitted to BSNL. It was assured by Hon’ble MOC & IT, in the meeting held on 22-10-2001 with the Association that BSNL has agreed to the proposal in principle and a board memo was under preparation. We further understand that the memo was also finalized, but was not placed in the BSNL Board meeting. The majority of TES Group ‘B’ officers has been absorbed in BSNL and the BSNL Executive Promotional Policy is TELEWAVE 34 JUNE-2016
