Reliance JIOs Free Promotional Offering of Voice and Data for 6 months  is allowed by TDSAT and Govt of India is predatory and clear violation of the Regulation and orders of the TRAI.

22.02.2017: Refuting SNEA's derogatory remarks about AIBSNLEA while reporting JTO to SDE promotion case: Regarding JTO to SDE promotion related case (OP CAT-45/2015 and similar OP) in Hon. High Court of Kerala, SNEA(I) is simply trying to misguide general members by giving false and derogatory comments about AIBSNLEA while reporting news of the court proceedings in their website. 
Being an impleading respondent in OA filed in CAT and a respondent in subsequent OP-CAT now pending in HC of Kerala, AIBSNLEA filed our version (in support of BSNL, the main respondent) in the appropriate courts at the appropriate time. Our role, as in the case of all other impleading respondents, was to support BSNL's stand which is correct and legal as per various rules and procedures for fixation of seniority of JTOs, preparation of eligibility list, and several other related issues involved in this case. We did this job through the advocate representing AIBSNLEA.
It is to be noted that AIBSNLEA is the only association impleaded in this case in its own name in the capacity as an association of executives, initially at the time of coming this matter as an OA in the CAT Ernakulam and then became a respondent in OP-CAT at High Court of Kerala when appeal was filed by petitioners. The petitioners were a group of direct recruited (DR) JTOs, but their contentions were not acceptable as per rules. SNEA(I) is not a party in this case as an association, though some of their affected members got impleaded in this case.
AIBSNLEA was bold enough to appear as impleading party in the case and expressed our stand openly in public as we have nothing to hide. By impleading in the association's name, we wanted to protect the justified and genuine interests of all general members.
The other association was not concerned about this, but they only wanted to play behind the screen, giving a space for twisting their stand between DR JTOs and JTOs recruited during 1996 to 2000, according to their will and wish. Initially they played "a hide and seek game" and did not became an impleading respondent, as they wanted favors from both sides in view of referendum. In fact they have no right to comment on AIBSNEA in this regard as they are not at all a party in the party-array of this case. Honorable members are requested to realize the cheap politics now being played by that association with an ill-motive of defaming this organization.

21.02.2017:   GS met CMD BSNL and discussed regarding filling up of vacant posts of DEs/CAOs & DGMs. We requested that about 2000 DEs posts, 1000 CAOs posts and about 400 DGM(Engg.) & 100 posts of DGM(Fin.) are vacant. Similarly, about 160 EEs(Civil) posts are also vacant but the vacant posts of DEs/CAOs/EEs(Civil) are not being filled up on the pretext of pending court cases. From DE to DGM, CAO to DGM(Fin.) no court case is pending hence all these posts should be filled up immediately to meet the requirement of field units & to remove the stagnation in the career prospective of Group-'B' level executives. CMD appreciated our concern and assured to discuss the matter with Director(HR) for an early action.

We also requested for the implementation of 3rd PRC report with full fitment benefit in BSNL. CMD assured to look into the matter. It is understood that BSNL is submitting its feedback to DoT on 3rd PRC recommendations by tomorrow wherein BSNL is trying to provide 15% fitment benefit (highest fitment benefit) to BSNL executives on implementation of 3rd PRC. The HR Group of BSNL is actively involved in this process under the control of CGM(Legal), BSNL Corporate Office, New Delhi. AIBSNLEA is pursuing regularly at all the levels.

 The Hall was fully jam packed.  Com. Mohan D.S Trichy welcomed the gathering and whole heartedly welcomed the Leaders and members who have newly joined in AIBSNLEA. Com. Kamaraj delivered inaugural address. Com. Dhanuskodi, Com. Periasamy, Com. Subramanian, Com. Ramanathan, Com.

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

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

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

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

02.02.2017:   Meeting with Director (HR) :

GS, FS, AGS (HQ) and AGS (Finance) met with Director (HR) in the presence of GM (SR) and discussed regarding:

(i) Harassment & Victimization of AIBSNEA Office Bearers: We expressed our serious concern against the harassment of AIBSNLEA members by the Office Bearers / Members of SNEA in some circles in day to day work. In the capacity of immediate superior executives, who are incidentally our members, are assigning work to their subordinate executives, who happen to be the office bearers / members of SNEA they are  threatening and making gheros of their immediate superior executive who is our member and harassing by making abusing words and false complaints. We quoted recently held some incidences in Punjab Circle, Karnataka Circle, Gujarat Circle etc. Director (HR) immediately directed GM (SR) to take the report from the concern Circle Heads and to take immediate action to ensure discipline in the organization.

We also informed Director (HR) that in some circles vindicating actions are being taken by the Management by the way of issuing show cause notice against participation in peaceful demonstrative actions on the call of United Forum even after calling off the said demonstrative action programs on 06.01.2017 after the cordial meeting with Director (HR). We requested to stop such type of vindictive action to prevail harmony in the interest of BSNL. Director (HR) assured to look into the matter.

(ii)  Problems being faced by the members of AIBSNLEA in completing the subscription deduction form: We informed that in the field units some immediate superior / counter signing officers on the format of subscription deduction are pressing our members to fill up the form of a particular association to whom they belongs. Hence, our members are being terrorized under the threat of spoiling their careers / APAR in case they do not fill up the form as per their direction. Hence, we requested to remove the column of counter sign from the format since executives are well educated and well known to the management. Director (HR) immediately directed GM (SR) to modify the said format immediately to avoid such incidences and to allow to prevail democracy in the organization. 

(iii) Extension of some facilities to AIBSNLEA for its smooth functioning: We requested for granting some facilities to AIBSNLEA for its smooth functioning in day to day working. Director (HR) assured to look into the matter.

(iv) Implementation of E2 & E3 standard pay scales to JTO & SDE equivalent executives: We requested for the implementation of E2 & E3 standard pay scales to JTO & SDE equivalent executives in BSNL by getting an early approval of DoT. Director(HR) mentioned that matter is pending in DoT wherein AST has already proposed to send the proposal of approving E1A & E2A pay scales in BSNL & E1 pay scale to future JTOs/JAOs. She assured that CMD will be discussing this matter with Secy(T) shortly so that issue is resolved before notification of 3 PRC report.

(v) Allowing option to exercise 10%quota JAOs: We requested to issue order in respect of JAOs recruited through 10% quota at par with JAOs-2010 batch of 40% quota. GM(FP) was present in the meeting and assured to process the case for settlement.

(vi) Settlement of the long pending HR issues: We requested for the settlement of the long pending HR issues which are already approved by the BSNL MC through the committee of HR group of DoT & BSNL. Director (HR) informed that in the last HR group of DoT & BSNL officers meeting held on 19.01.2017 could discuss only HR Plan of BSNL and still discussions are to take place in this regard in this month itself by this committee. Thereafter only, this committee will consider all the pending HR issues which are linked HR Plan of BSNL i.e. Modification in SDE RR, Diversion of 50% MT Quota Posts of CAOs to seniority quota, E1+5 increments benefits to the JAO Batch 2013, JTO SRD and PA Cadre etc. We further requested for early considerations.

(vii) CPCs to fill up the vacant DE/CAO/EE (C) vacant posts: We expressed our concern against non filling up of the vacant posts of the DE/CAO/EE (C) cadres on the pretext of pending court cases. Director (HR) immediately spoke to PGM (Pers.) and directed him to immediately file SLP in the Hon'ble Supreme Court against the judgment of Hon'ble High Court Chandigarh as per the advice of the ASG by the next week itself to remove the statement in the CPCs. 

01.02.2017:   Meeting with PGM (Pers.)

GS met with PGM (Pers.) and discussed regarding:

A Restructuring of CSS cadre in BSNL. We requested to restructure the CSS cadre in BSNL by way of creating some more DGM / Jt. GM Posts in BSNL. PGM (Pers.) informed that the matter is under active consideration for creation of 4 additional DGM (CSS) posts in addition to the existing 6 DGM (CSS) posts on matching saving concept which will shortly be submitted to the competent authority i.e. BSNL MC / Board for approval.

B Restructuring of AD (OL) Cadre: We requested for submitting an early reply to DoT queries on this issue. PGM (Pers.) informed that the matter is pending in the EF Cell of BSNL CO for comments and shortly the reply will be sent to DoT.

01.02.2017:   GS AIBSNLEA, GS AIGETOA and GS AITEEA met Smt. A. Panda, PGM (PF-II) and Chairman of the committee and discussed the issue of Pay parity for the executives recruited post 01.01.2007. It was explained that the matter needs a considerate and holistic view. It was explained to the chairman of the committee that the executives recruited post 01.01.2007 are facing a huge pay loss on account of non-extension of 22820/- as initial basic. The loss of these executives is going to multiply manifold with inception of 3rd PRC benefits. We explained the technicalities associated with the issue. The chairman was apprised of the fact that such type of relaxations have been done earlier also in the case of Direct recruits and so the same should be extended in case of the executives recruited Post 01.01.2007.

We further pleaded that the option allowed on pay fixation on promotion after 07.05.2010 to the departmental JAOs of 2010 batch is completely justified. PGM (PF-II) appreciated our concern and mentioned that this case was justified and as per rule.

We requested Chairman of the committee that FR should be relaxed for fixing Rs. 22820/- as minimum basic of JTOs/JAOs recruited post 01.01.2007 as done on several occasions earlier.

United forum has submitted one more representation on the pay parity issue of executives recruited post 01.01.2007. <<<<Click here for the representation>>>>
