Some SDEs have again challenged the revised seniority of 1966 SDEs in Hon’ble Bangalore High Court. AIBSNLEA has impleaded in the case. Hon’ble Bangalore High Court has given its judgment on 01.04.2016. Now BSNL Management has to take a call to resolve to issue permanently. Further, details are available in the attached Annexure - VI. 4.9 Grievances of PA/ Stenographers’ cadre:  Creation of the Post of P.P.S.in the field units: Post of PPS in the field units and Sr. PPS posts in the Corporate Office has already been created. In the field units 38 posts of PPS has been created and are to be attached with the CGMs. The demand of the association & also the recommendation of the HK Gupta Committee report is to create the PPS posts with all the HAG level officers in the field units. Post of PPS has already been created for the PGMs of Civil / Arch./Fin/. Hence, more number of PPS posts in the field units for PGMs are to be created. The matter is under persuasion.  Relaxation of Qualification for filling up the post of PPS in the field units. As per the orders on the subject, R.R of BSNLMS are to be made applicable to fill up the posts of PPS in the field units. The Qualification criteria stipulated in the BSNLMS RR is graduation. Since the criteria for the post of Stenographers recruited in DoT/DTS through Staff Selection Commission was only Secondary School Certificate with Stenography, the qualification of almost all PSs who have been absorbed in BSNL field units is SSC with Stenography. Hence, almost all the PSs in the field units, who are due for their promotion as PPS and working for more than 30 years of total service with 10-15 years as PS would not be eligible to get their PPS promotion due to the qualification of graduation criteria stipulated in the BSNLMS RR. Hence, relaxation of qualification, as done in the case of Civil and Electrical stream allowing Diploma holders as against the Engineering Graduation, is to be granted by Corporate Office. The matter is under persuasion.  One time diversion of 33% LICE quota vacancy of P.Ss to settle the adverse impact being faced by Personal Staff working in the field units of BSNL due to implementation of DOP&T OM No. 14017/2/1997-Estt. (RR) dated 19.01.2007.  As per the order, the vacancies arises every year from both the 67% quota and 33% quota are to be merged together and re-distributed as 67% and 33%. However the vacancies in the 33% quota prior to 31.3.2012 cannot be considered for such merging and has to be kept separately. Due to various reasons like non-holding of LICE etc, the 33% remains unfilled resulting in no retirement from the 33% quota. The retirement is only from the 67% quota and as per the order every year the vacancies arises due to retirement from 67% quota is re-distributed as 67% and 33% reducing the number of vacancies in 67% quota. This has resulted in increase of 33% quota more than that of 67% in most of the circles. The matter has already been taken up for one time relaxation to fill up all the vacancies of 67% and 33% under seniority cum fitness. The matter is under persuasion.  Post based promotions for PA/PS: With restructuring and declaring the cadre of stenographers as ‘dying cadre’, the entry cadre is now Personal Assistants (Executive) with two promotional avenues as P.S and PPS whereas executives of other streams viz. JTO / JAO are having promotional avenues up to the level of G.M. and above. In order to reach at least at the level of SG JAG (E-6) before retirement, we suggested the following post based promotion for the Personal Assistants: ■ All the posts of Stenographers, Personal Assistants and Private Secretaries may be pooled together and placed in the ratio of 40% (E-1) PA, 40%(E-2) P.S. and 20 %(E-4) PPS. ■ All Officers (PA/PS/PPS) who are in E-4 scale for a period of 5 years or have completed 23 years of service from the date of entry in the cadre may be promoted to E-5. ■ All officers who have been promoted to E-5 and have completed a minimum period of 3 years may be placed in E-6.  Implementation Of Policy Guidelines in respect of PA / PS in the field units:- The case of pay protection of the PA /PS in the Kerala Circle was pending for quite long time and the matter is in the CAT, Ernakulam. The matter was heard in person by the then CMD as per the direction of Hon. CAT. TELEWAVE 40 JUNE-2016
