replacement scales for pre-revised E1A, E2A pay scales for JTOs, SDEs & equivalent cadres
and subsequent up-gradation of E3 by E4, E4 by E5, E5 by E6
and E6 by E7:
It is learnt
that BSNL Management on 12.06.2017 while replying the
queries of DoT mentioned that
BSNL is requesting for E2 and E3 scales in replacement of
pre-revised E1A and E2A i.e. Part-I of the proposal in BSNL's
letter dated 06.06.2016 for replacement of E1A and E2A with
E2 & E3 being a residual issue of 2nd PRC and may
be approved. The Part-II of the BSNL's proposal will be
taken up at the time of 3rd PRC.
Though
the BSNL Management has not withdrawn its proposal sent on
06.06.2016 but this revised proposal is impracticable
wherein a section of executives' pay will be revised with
effect from 01.01.2007 as per 2nd PRC report and
other section of executives subsequent pay up-gradation will
be taken up at the time of 3rd PRC.
AIBSNLEA will continue its
efforts to get implemented the BSNL's earlier proposal sent
to DoT on 06.06.2016 to provide justice to all the
executives in order to remove their pay anomaly and
stagnation.

20.06.2017:
Meeting of GS, FS and AGS (GS) with PGM (Pers.) BSNL
Corporate Office:
As directed by CMD BSNL, PGM (Pers), BSNL Corporate Office
held a meeting with AIBSNLEA to discuss the complaint lodged
by us against the illegal promotion orders for 42 officers
issued by Pers Cell for the promotion from DE to DGM from
the list of 147 executives whose seniority has been quashed
by the Hon'ble High Court Kerala and direction was given to
BSNL “to be placed their
seniority against the SDEs (T) vacancies of the year
1994-95, 1995-96 and 1996-97 (up to 22.07.1996) according to
their merit as also their eligibility to appear for combined
examination. The eligibility year has to be considered
since; one combined examination was held for three years. A
candidate entitled to appear in 1996 (by reason of
completing five years of regular service in the feeder
category on the January of the year) cannot be placed in the
vacancy of 1994-95. However, high his rank may be, if the
seniority list require any recast on the above lines,
obviously, the official respondent ought to do so”.
But the Pers cell pleaded that they have fixed up 147 SDEs
(T) LDCE quota seniority as per 1986 SDE RR on the basis of
year of recruitment since the Hon'ble High Court Kerala
judgement has been challenged by the respondents in the
Hon'ble Supreme Court and it has grant “status quo” in the
year 2013. We explained that Hon'ble Supreme Court has
further delivered its the judgement to recast the TES GR-B
seniority on the basis of Rulr-206 and upheld the seniority
lists no.1 to 17 as sacrosanct instead of the seniority
list numbers 1 to 5 prepared on the basis of Rule-1966 i.e.
year of recruitment basis. Hence, the seniority of 147 SDEs
(T) of LDCE quota has to be decided by examining their
seniority as per Hon'ble High Court Kerala directions but
the Pers Cell BSNL CO is not ready to hear our arguments.
In view of this, the affected candidates are to pursue in
the Hon'ble Supreme Court for an early decision on the
pending SLP in the matter of the seniority of 147 LDCE quota
SDEs. BSNL Pers Cell is not ready to rectify their mistake
in the line of Hon'ble High Court Kerala Judgment by placing
147 SDEs of LDCE quota in proper manner in the revised
seniority list as per the Hon'ble Supreme Court judgement
delivered in the year 2015. We have to continue our protest
in this regard.
GS, FS, AGS
(HQ)
attended and deliberated in the meeting.
After the above discussions we discussed regarding promotion
order of left out DGMs (Engg.). We requested for issuing
promotions orders for DGM (Engg) of the 49 officers for whom
the CPC has been completed. PGM (Pers) mentioned that the
approval of the competent authority has been received and
tomorrow these 49 DGMs promotion orders will be issued. We
further requested to expedite CPC of 25 left out DGMs also.
PGM (Pers) assured to hold CPC at the earliest and issue of
DGM promotion order of the remaining left out cases.

It
is time for introspection
to Majority Association
AIBSNLEA have been fighting for the
settlement of all the legitimate HR issues and viability of
BSNL since its inception and achieved many mile stones
during the period by getting implemented grant of perks to
executives w.e.f. 01.01.2005, implementation of EPP w.e.f
18.01.2007, filling of all vacant STS Group-‘A' level posts
in all discipline by getting clearance from DoT in
Sept.-2006, Transparent Transfer Policy-2008, BSNL
MSRR-2009, Implementation of 2nd PRC
recommendations in BSNL with full 30% fitment benefits in
BSNL, IDA Pension revision for BSNL Pensioners issued on
15.03.2011, Merger of 50% DA with Basic Pay w.e.f.
01.01.2007 effectively amounting to 78.2% for the purpose of
fitment and pay fixation in the revised pay scales,
Withdrawal of 60:40 provision in the Pension Rules 37A
for BSNL employees and payment of 78.2% fitment benefit to
BSNL Pensioners, Withdrawal of MT RR-2008 and 2011, Regularization
of adhoc level executives in all disciplines, filling up
of the vacant DGM/SE posts in all disciplines, 3%
superannuation benefit to BSNL recruited employees, framing
of JTO RR-2014 and conduction of JTO LICE, Creation of PPS
and Sr. PPS posts, regularization of offg. JTOs,
Rs. 22820/-
Pay anomaly resolution by formation of Committee and active
participation in all the struggles of BSNL Unions and
Associations to protect the interest of BSNL etc.
Recently in December-2016 BSNL Management
conducted referendum for majority executive Association
wherein AIBSNLEA by getting 18,400 votes got Support
Association status and thereafter continuously trying to
protect the interest of all the BSNL executives i.e.
whether it is BSNL
recruited or absorbed in BSNL. After referendum under the banner of
United Forum of BSNL Executives Associations one agitation
was launched for the settlement of the burning demands i.e.
pay loss of post 2007 recruited executives, standard pay
scales by replacing E1A by E2, E2A by E3 and subsequent
up-gradation of pay
scales E3 by E4, E4 by E5, E5 by E6 and E6 by E7, 30%
superannuation benefit to BSNL recruited employees, CPSU
Cadre hierarchy as per the Khan Committee report, 3rd
PRC implementation with 15% fitment benefit and pension
revision of BSNL pensioners etc.On the positive assurance
given by the CMD BSNL and Director(HR) the agitation programme
was deferred. But immediately just after the
deferment of the agitation, BSNL management took vindictive actions against the
General Secretaries of AIBSNLEA, AIGETOA and AITEEA by
issuing “Show Cause” notice, deduction of salary of two days
DHARNA organized on 27th and 28th
Dec-2016 by canceling the sanctioned E/L and C/L etc.
Thereafter, on 28th
March-2017, DoT administration issued ‘Presidential
Directives' for E1A and E2A intermediary pay scales which
created unrest and accordingly AIBSNALEA and AITEEA
organized protest demonstration on 06.04.2017 wherein Com.
GS, AIGETOA was also requested to sign the notice but he
expressed his inability in signing the agitation notice of
United Forum and mentioned that he is in favour of Joint
struggle of all the Associations and
he along with his
members already actively participated in demonstrations
made on 30/03/2017
by the Majority Association.
Com. GS, AIGETOA was requested by GS
AIBSNLEA and GS, AITEEA for serving a agitation notice under
the banner of United Forum for protest actions, but GS
AIGETOA was perhaps committed to Majority Association
not to go for
agitation on the platform of
United Forum and insisted us also
to come and join with them rather than starting agitation.
And finally they formed Joint Forum and served a notice of
agitation on 10.04.2017 when the GS AIBSNLEA was on LTC at
Port Blair w.e.f. 09.04.2017 to 16.04.2017. I explained to
GS AIGETOA and GS SNEA that at present I am away from CHQ
and after having the talk with our CHQ Office bearers and
Circle Secretaries, I shall be able to take the decision
because just three months before referendum has taken place
wherein lot of hot exchanges have taken place, so
immediate joint struggle is not possible. We have to
convince and mentally prepare our members at base level for
joint struggle then only it would be possible for us to come
together but it was ignored for which the reasons are best
known to them and
finally they served the notice under the banner of
Joint Forum denouncing United Forum. Now, Majority
Associations is alleging support Association to derail all
the HR issues which JF and BSNL Management jointly trying to
resolve.
The fact remains that Jt. Forum in collision with
the BSNL Management is trying to sabotage the important HR
issues which the support Association have
brought on track
i.e. E1-A by E2, E2-A by E3 and subsequent up-gradation of
pay scales E3 by E4, E5 by E6 and E6 by E7 which was
approved by Management Committee of BSNL Board and was sent
to DoT on 06.06.2016 during the struggle of United Forum of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA.
The majority Association since
beginning tried to sabotage it and after referendum
pressurized the BSNL Management to trunked the proposal
making it half i.e. upto E1-A by E2 and E2-A by E3 only
wherein double fixation in E3 grade, means one executive
will remain in E3 scale for 10 years in violation of EPP
which will invite litigations. Knowing well this fact they
are befooling the executives and trying to harm the interest
of all the executives of BSNL. They pressurized BSNL
Management to withdraw the earlier 06.06.2016 proposal and
halved it up-to E1-A by E2 and E2-A by E3 only. But with the
vigorous efforts of AIBSNLEA, they could not succeed in it
and now BSNL has replied the queries of DoT pleading that
BSNL's earlier proposal of 06.06.2016 may be considered in
two parts. AIBSNLEA will continue to make its efforts for
up-gradation of all thepay scales E1-A to E2, E2-A to E3, E3
to E4, E4 to E5, E5 to E6 and E6 to E7 in the larger
interest of all the executives.
Majority Association is sabotaging the
Khan Committee report on CPSU Cadre Hirarchy
by allowing MT recruitment and allowing post based
promotions up-to STS level
only.
We will strongly oppose such acts of Majority Association.
30% superannuation benefit to BSNL
recruited employees precipitated after
the struggle of United Forum
of AIBSNLEA & AIGETOA only. Majority Association never
contributed in this regard.
PGM(PF) Ms. A. Panda, Committee on pay
anomaly of Rs. 22820/- of JTOs/JAOs post recruited 1.1.2007
was constituted on the demand of AIBSNLEA and AITEEA by CMD
BSNL. But the Majority Association trying to sabotage
the committee report raising huge financial implication to
benefit thousands of executives in the report in line of Estt. Cell pleadings.
Notional pay fixation
issue of JTOs/SDEs(C/E/Arch/TF)
Engineering wings and PA cadrewas initiated
and taken by AIBSNLEA and with it's sincere efforts only
the management committee of BSNL Board has cleared it and
now BSNL board approval is awaited. This issue was hijacked
by majority association. E1+5 advance increment benefit to JTOs/JAOs
could be settled by AIBSNLEA through KCGK Pillai Committee
report. Now JTO(SRD), JAO 2013 batch and PAs case has been
cleared by BSNL Management committee and awaiting
BSNL
board approval.
Diversion of MT
Quota posts to seniority quota posts in Telecom Engg.
could take place first and
then diversion of MT Quota posts to
seniority quota posts of CAOs
cadre got cleared from Management
committee of BSNL board and now waiting for BSNL board
approval.E5 to E6 time bound promotion and EPP
to DGM adhoc by modification in BSNL MS RR got approved from
Management committee of BSNL and now waiting
for BSNL board
approval.AD(O/L) cadre restructuring got
approved from Management committee of BSNL and now DOT
approval is awaited. All the queries
asked by DoT has been replied by BSNL. About 1200 DGM(Engg.) and about 250
DGM(Fin)/ DGM(TF), about 100 SE(Elect./Civil) promotion
could become possible with the untiring efforts of AIBSNLEA.
Sincere efforts are being made to get
expedite CPCs from JTO to SDE, SDE to DE, JAO to AO, AO to
CAO, CAO to DGM(Finance), JTO(C/E) to SDE(C/E), SDE(c) to
EE(C), etc by taking some solution in view of the legal
opinion on Hon'ble High Court Chandigarh judgment and DP&T
guidelines on SC/ST roster implementation.
In this manner AIBSNLEA will continue
to work to safeguard the interest of all the executives of
BSNL.
Majority association after
referendum should honestly concentrate for the settlement of
pending HR issues in the interest of all the executives
instead of doing vote bank politics. Majority association
should not worry on support association affairs. Support
association knows it's responsibility well.
It's a fact that AIBSNLEA got about
18400 plus votes during referendum and got support
association status with the help of AIGETOA and AITEEA.
AIBSNLEA is committed to protect the interest of its members
and supporters. Now AIGETOA leadership preferred to align
with Majority Association under the banner of Joint Forum of
BSNL Executives Associations under the assurance that they
will achieve their demands and no vindictive actions will be
there against them which the GS AIGETOA faced “Show Cause”
notice during the struggle of United Forum of AIBSNLEA,
AIGETOA and AITEEA. Now BSNL Management leaving Majority
Association leaders aside has victimized GS AIGETOA by
serving majority penalty charge sheet. It has caused panic
and now majority Association is desperate to mount pressure
on BSNL Management to withdraw the vindictive
actions
through the agitation of BSNL Unions and Associations on the
pretext of 3rd PRC implementation, whereas, CMD
BSNL with all the Board of Directors met Hon'ble MOS(C)
(I/C) on 16.06.2017 and pleaded for implementation of 3rd
PRC in BSNL with 15% fitment benefit, then where is the need
of going on strike at this juncture. However, we are against
any victimization of Association/Union leaders/members for
organizing legitimate Trade Union activities but they should
be fair in their approach.
Thus, AIBSNLEA never harmed the interest of
anyone and never deviated from its policies under the
pressure like Majority association. AIBSNLEA is using all
the channels to get implemented 3rd PRC with 15%
fitment benefit and pension revision. In case
if any difficulty
is faced in this regard it will not hesitate to take harder
Trade Union action programmes in terms of even indefinite
strike.
AIBSNLEA was never interested to
mention above facts but the majority Association write up on
their website 15.06.2017 has forced us to explain.

Meeting with PGM (Pers.) BSNL Corporate Office, New Delhi :
GS along with CWC member Uttarakhand Shri G S Bisht, Vice
President Chhattisgarh Madam Anuradha and representative
from Rajasthan Circle met PGM (Pers.) regarding the
restructuring case of AD (OL). PGM (Pers.) discussed with
Director (PSU) Shri Pawan Gupta and requested him for early
clearance of the issue. The matter of SLP regarding 2002 R/R
was also discussed during the meeting. BSNL Management has
shown its positive view in both the issues.
Why
AIBSNLEA is not participating in the agitation call given by
the Unions and Associations of BSNL?
A meeting
of BSNL Unions / Associations was held at New Delhi on
02.06.2017 to discuss the implementation of 3rd
PRC with 15% fitment benefit in BSNL. The meeting was
convened by Com. P Abhimanyu GS, BSNLEU and was presided
over by GS, AIBSNLEA.
During
discussions, as GS, AIBSNLEA while expressing our concern on
3rd PRC implementation we demanded that the
particular Clause of the Rule 14 (1) of the BSNL (REA)
Rules, 2013 which prevents executive Association's
participation along with the non-executives unions'
agitation programs i.e. "Further,
the Association will not join hands with the non-executives'
unions for furtherance of their issues and / or participate
in any kind of joint trade union action."should be deleted /
withdrawn.
We
further explained that during the agitation program of
United Forum of BSNL Executives Associations comprising of
AIBSNLEA, AIGETOA and AITEEA, for organizing "DHARNA" on 27th
and 28th December 2016, all the
three General Secretaries
were issued "Show Cause" notice to initiate the disciplinary
action under BSNL CDA conduct rules, wherein violation of
Executives Associations recognition rules was also the
charge against us. The sanctioned E/L and C/L for two days
on 27th & 28th December 2016 of GS,
AIBSNLEA and GS AITEEA were cancelled and a dies-non was
made with two days salary cut. This issue was
immediately brought to the notice of all the
Unions/ Associations and accordingly GS BSNLEU and GS NFTE
met CMD BSNL and Director (HR) BSNL and protested against
this
and
gave a letter of protest but BSNL management did not
withdrawn the "Show Cause" notices and "salary cut" even
after a lapse of five months. We explained that under these
circumstances, where we represent the executives of DGM/DE/CAO/EE/SDE/AO/JTO/JAO
ranks, it is difficult to participate in the strike call
because these executives are the soft target of the
management and AIBSNLEA do not have any recognized channel
to protect these executives. Hence, BSNL Unions/
Associations first take up the issue with BSNL Management
for withdrawal of all the vindictive actions and to stop
such actions against the legitimate Trade Union activities
of the BSNL Unions/ Associations. But unfortunately it was
not given due consideration.
The
Demand of unconditionally withdrawing the BSNL C.O. letter
dated 08.05.2017 banning all trade union activities in BSNL
was related to the ongoing agitation of Joint Forum of BSNL
Executives Associations. In compliance to the Hon'ble
Patiala Court,New Delhi orders it was banned. It cannot be
imposed on all the unions/ associations. Presently the
matter is being defended by the Joint Forum in the Hon'ble
Patiala House Court. This issue should be discussed with
BSNL management by both the majority Unions/Associations. We
impressed upon that making it a demand of "strike" along
with the demand of 3rd PRC implementation is not
correct as it dilutes the main demand.
Moreover,
the Joint Forum of Executive Associations' agitation was
mainly to get replacement of E-1A by E2 and E-2A by E3 only
wherein they are demanding withdrawal of
BSNL's earlier
proposal which was send to DOT on 06.06.2016 during the
agitation and
the demand of United
Forum of
BSNL Executive Associations comprising of AIBSNLEA and
AIGETOA as
(1).
Replacement of E-1A by E-2 and E-2A by E-3 w.e.f. 1.1.2007 and (2). Upgradation of subsequent pay scales E-3 by E-4, E-4 by E-5,
E-5 by E-6 and E-6 by E-7 w.e.f. 1.1.2007.
This
demand of Joint Forum of BSNL Executives Associations has
trunked the BSNL's complete proposal and has halved the
demand. Hence, AIBSNLEA can't associate with such
association's agitation call.
In
view of the above, AIBSNLEA
will
extend its solidarity support to the agitation call of BSNL
Unions/ Associations on common demand of 3rd PRC
related issues implementation.
We
appreciate the efforts taken by BSNL Management in DOT
for the implementation of 3rd PRC with 15%
fitment benefits for BSNL employees. Now, CMD BSNL along
with all the BSNL Board members are meeting with Hon'ble MOS
(C) )(I/C) on 16.06.2017 at 2:30 PM demanding 3rd
PRC implementation with 15% fitment benefits in BSNL.
In the
meeting conducted by CMD BSNL with the representatives of
BSNL Unions/ Associations on 03.06.2017,
CMD BSNL
categorically told that he will make his best efforts for
the implementations of 3rd PRC in BSNL and in
case he fails in getting implemented 3rd PRC in
BSNL he will resign from the post of CMD BSNL owning the
responsibility. It is really appreciable stand of CMD BSNL. We should trust his efforts and extend our fullest support
to him in his endeavour.
AIBSNLEA
is continuously making its sincere efforts in convincing the
officers in DOT/DPE in person in support of 3rd
PRC implementation in BSNL with 15% fitment benefit. We have
also requested Hon'ble MOS (C) (I/C) and Secretary (T) to
grant us a meeting to represent our views in this regard.
Let us, continue our efforts to ensure implementation of 3rd
PRC with 15% fitment benefit in BSNL.
14.06.2017 GS
met with PGM (EW) and discussed regarding
(a) Filling up of the
vacant SDEs (E) Posts: We extended our
thanks for issuing 12 SDEs ( E ) regular promotion and
requested to fill-up all vacant ( about 122) SDEs(
Electrical) posts by expediting CPC. PGM (EW) mentioned that
the proposal to initiate CPC to fill-up all vacant SDEs

After 2nd PRC report their pay has been reduced
to Rs.19020/- in the revised pay scale i.e. E1+5 advance

in the cut of date has been given and demanded the same
dispension in this case also. CMD after detail discussions
assured to look into the Ms Panda PGM (FP) committee report
and to take some solution to remove the pay anomaly.

into the matter.

BSNL was not able to procure the equipment required for its

its EBITDA is positive.
On the issue of replacement of E1A by E-2, E-2 by E-3 and
E-3 by E-4, E-4 by E-5, E-5 by E-6 and E-6 by E-7, BSNL's

It is learnt

replacement scales for pre-revised E1A, E2A pay scales for JTOs, SDEs & equivalent cadres.
<<<<Click here for

It is also
learnt that now BSNL Management has decided to withdraw
BSNL's earlier proposal dated 06.06.2016 wherein it was
requested to DoT for grant of approval for-
(i)Pay
scale of JTO & SDE (& equivalent executives) may be revised
to E2 and E3 respectively as replacement of pre-revised
scale of E1A / E2A w.e.f. 01.01.2007.
(ii)The

AIBSNLEA Stand on Standard Pay Scales issue
and clarification thereof
Dear Comrades,
AIBSNLEA is sincerely trying for the
last so many years for the effective and practical
implementation of Standard pay scales (E2- for JTO/JAO and
Equivalent cadres and E3 – for SDE/AO and Equivalent
cadres). While the discussion came up initially, from
several sources it was evident that without cascading effect
(E3 by E4, E4 by E5, E5 by E6 and E6 by E7) it cannot be
implemented in BSNL. If at all standard pay scale is
implemented without cascading effect, its damn sure that so
many litigations will be filed in the courts due to the
deadly issues of junior/ senior, heavy pay loss to the
executives in the E2A scale, on the wedge of getting E3
compared to the executives at the beginning of E2A Scale and
also holding an executive for 10 years in E3 scale is unlike
any other PSUs. Thus practically the court cases will stop
the implementation of Standard pay scales without cascading
effect like so many promotions of JTO/SDE are stopped
through court intervention. In addition to these many of
senior executives are stagnating for the last couple of
years without any annual increment.
By foreseeing these realties, AIBSNLEA
took a stand since beginning for the implementation of
standard pay scales with cascading effect because we want to
implement this for the benefits of all the BSNL executives.
More over, this implementation of standard pay scales with
cascading effect is doubly benefitting for the young talents
of BSNL working in the non standard pay scales of E1A and
E2A.
Those who want to see that standard
pay scales are not implemented in BSNL at any cost, can only
opt for implementation of standard pay scales without
cascading effect.
During the agitation of United Forum
of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA ,Management Committee of BSNL Board
deliberated over the issue at length and decided to
recommend up-gradation of pay scales of E3, E4, E5 & E6 for
Sr. SDE, AGM, DGM and SG-DGM and equivalent posts to E4, E5,
E6 & E7 respectively w.e.f. 01.01.2007. Accordingly the
proposal was sent to DoT vide letter number 1-13/2015-PAT (BSNL)
dated 06.06.2016 for approval. But now the Majority
Association is trying to get withdrawn the proposal and want
to restrict the upgradation up to E2 and E3 Scales only.
Hence they are harming the interest of all the BSNL
Executives.
In spite of this, while DOT rejected
the proposal of implementation of standard pay scales with
cascading effect, AIBSNLEA also took a stand with the demand
for implementation of standard pay scales without cascading
effect with an expectation and symptoms that DOT will
approve. DOT did not consider even implementation of E2 and
E3 Pay Scales without cascading effect and approved E-1A and
E-2A intermediatory Pay Scales.
But, what happened next is the
outright rejection of the proposal. Who is responsible for
this catastrophe? After referendum, one association,
self-proclaimed as saviours of BSNL and BSNL executives, is
recognised as Majority association gave trade union notice
for the implementation standard pay scales for E2 & E3 alone
to DOT and at a later stage withdrawn their demand for the
reason known to them. When a recognised association
demanding something and at a later stage unconditionally
withdrawing the demands does clearly indicating that they
are not serious on the demand of getting standard pay scales
to BSNL Executives. This only triggered DOT to pronounce
Presidential Orders for unwanted E1/E2 scales. How that
association can wash off their hands? Do they think they can
eye wash others from their calculated move by yelling and
shedding crocodile tears in public after things are happened
as per their wish ?
Now what a responsible association has
to do? AIBSNLEA is doing for the benefits of all the
executives without giving any scope for litigations. ....

Shri Anupam Srivastava,
CMD BSNLregarding reply
to DoT queries on replacement scales for pre-revised E1A,
E2A pay scales for JTOs, SDEs & equivalent cadres.Wherein
it is mentioned that
replacement of E1A and E2A pay scales with E2
and E3 scales only, keeping other scales untouched, will
have implications for already approved E3 pay scale for Sr.
SDE because of the provisions of the Executive Promotion
Policy (EPP). Under these
circumstances, an executive will have to remain in the same
E3 scale for a span of ten years.
This is against the
provisions of the EPP, implemented in BSNL after
recommendations of the High Power Committee chaired by the
then Addl. Secretary (T), DoT Shri Y.S. Bhave wherein five
time bound financial up-gradations from E1A (4-6 years) ->
E2A (5 years) -> E3 (5 years) -> E4 (5 years) -> E5 (5
years) -> E6 have been provided to BSNL executives.
Management Committee of BSNL
Board has deliberated over the issue at length and decided
to recommend up-gradation of pay scales of E3, E4, E5 & E6
for Sr. SDE, AGM, DGM and SG-DGM and equivalent posts to E4,
E5, E6 & E7 respectively w.e.f. 01.01.2007. Accordingly it
was sent to DoT vide letter number 1-13/2015-PAT (BSNL)
dated 06.06.2016
for approval.
Some
of the senior executives are stagnating in E5 scale from the
last 1-2 years. Many of them, who have fortunately or
unfortunately become DGM and bearing higher
responsibilities, are deprived off the time bound promotions
to the E-6 scale under the EPP in the name of BSNL MSRR. As
such they are not having any motivating factor.
Therefore, we have
requested
to
kindly request DoT for approval of-
(i)Pay
scale of JTO & SDE (& equivalent executives) may be revised
to E2 and E3 respectively as replacement of pre-revised
scale of E1A / E2A w.e.f. 01.01.2007.
(ii)The
pay scales E3, E4, E5 & E6 may be up-graded to E4, E5, E6 &
E7 w.e.f. 01.01.2007 in respect of the cadres of Sr.
SDE, AGM, DGM and SG-DGM respectively and appropriate
changes may accordingly be approved in the BSNL Executive
Promotion Policy.
The
executives from the scales E3, E4, E5 and E6 would be simply
placed to the next higher scale i.e. E4, E5, E6 & E7, most
of them will not get any financial benefit even of a single
penny except those whose stagnation comes to an end.
Further, it is also requested
that persuasions may be done for approval of the proposal of
deduction of pension contribution payable to DoT on actual
pay of an executive instead of the highest of his/her pay
scale. This will reduce the additional financial
implications on BSNL to bare minimum as the said additional
financial burden on BSNL would remain only on account of
increased pay and allowances in respect of directly
recruited JTOs / JAOs and a few number of DR-DGMs.
It is reliably learnt that
BSNL Management is now withdrawing its earlier proposal
dated 06.06.2016 and limiting replacement of Pay scales E1A
by E2 and E2A by E3 only. It has caused serious frustration,
resentment and agitations among the senior executives i.e.
SDEs, DEs, and DGMs whose Pay scales are stagnated and they
are being forced to remain in E3 Pay scales for 10 Years in
violation of EPP provisions.
We
strongly believe that frequent agitations are noxious to the
viability of BSNL and put a question mark on the dealing
ability of HR Management. We,
therefore requested
to kindly resolve the whole issue in one go considering all
probable pros and cons instead of doctoring it in piecemeal.
Withdrawal of BSNL's earlier proposal dated 06.06.2016 in
this regard will forced us to go for agitation.
(a)Pay anomaly case of JTOs / JAOs post recruited-2007. We explained the justification to give Rs.22820/-
pay fixation prior to 1.1.2007 in the pre-revised pay scale
by giving relaxation in the cut of date 1.1.2007 to the JTOs/JAOs
recruited post 2007 in the similar manner as it was given to
JTOs 2005 year batch joined BSNL even after 1.1.2007. CMD
assured to discuss the matter with Director (HR).
(b) Implementation of 3rd
PRC report with 15 % fitment benefit:
We
requested CMD BSNL for using his good office in getting
approval on BSNL's proposal approved by DoT and now pending
in DPE for consideration. CMD assured that he will discuss
the matter with Secretary (T) to get approved BSNL's
proposal from DPE.
