30.05.2018 Meeting with Director (HR), BSNL Board, New Delhi:

 

GS, President met Director (HR), BSNL Board and expressed serious resentment against non holding of CPCs to fill up the vacant Group-‘A' and Group-‘B' equivalent posts in BSNL and demanded that before notification of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy all the existing executives in JTO/JAO, SDE/AO and DE/CAO equivalent cadres should be promoted to the next higher vacant posts under the existing RRs. Non holding of CPCs before implementation of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy will cause serious frustration and resentment among the existing executives who are waiting their due promotions for the last many years. Director (HR), BSNL Board immediately called  GM (Pers.) and discussed the matter in detail. The cadre wise details are as under:-

 

Promotion from JTO to SDE (T) SCF quota : We requested Director (HR) to direct Pers. Cell to initiate CPCs by calling of APARs and VCs of the eligible candidates to fill up the vacant Group-'B' posts in the cadre of SDE (T). GM (Pers.) apprised that the court case in Hon'ble  High Court Kerala has been posted for pronouncement of Judgement on 1st or 4th June, 2018 and one another stay order on promotion has been granted by Hon'ble CAT Allahabad in a case filed by some DR JTOs.

Director (HR) immediately spoke with CGMT Kerala Circle and directed him to pursue in Hon'ble High Court for early pronouncement of the Judgement and called GS, AIGETOA and advised him to immediately withdraw the court case in the Hon'ble CAT Allahabad since she has already issued LDCE quota promotion orders. She categorically mentioned that in my family I can't see that some persons are happy and some others are unhappy and demoralized. GS AIGETOA assured Director (HR) that by tomorrow the court case in Hon'ble CAT Allahabad will be withdrawn. She further directed GM (Pers.) to initiate the process to promote about 4500 eligible JTOs to the post of SDE (T) with existing RRs. GM (Pers.) assured to issue promotion orders shortly.

 

Promotion from SDE (T) to DE (T): GM (Prs.) apprised that at present there is a dispute among the SDEs(T) on seniority list no. 6 & 7 which is to be sorted out. Director (HR) asked him that how many DE vacancies are there and how many SDEs are eligible for promotions. GM (Pers.) mentioned that about 3500 DEs vacancies are there and additional 800 DEs posts are required to promote all the SDEs of seniority list no. 6 & 7. Director (HR) immediately directed GM (Pers.) to submit a proposal for the up-gradation of 800 SDEs posts to DEs posts on Matching Saving Concept and instructed him to initiate CPCs  to promote all SDEs of seniority list no. 6 & 7 to DE posts before  CPSU Cadre Hierarchy implementation. GM (Pers.) assured to process the case of 800 posts up-gradation and to fill up 4300 DEs posts by conducting CPCs. He promised to complete this exercise within one month.

 

Promotion from  DE (T) to DGM (Engg.): GM (Pers.) appraised that about 700 clear DGM vacant posts are there and about 200 Additional GM entrusted posts are there that can be utilized. Thus total 900 DGMs can be promoted in view of the Hon'ble CAT Chandigarh & DoP&T instructions available on catch up rule. Director (HR) assured that the CPC will be initiated immediately to fill up 900 DGM (Engg.)

 

Promotion from JAO to AO: We apprised Director (HR) to fill up about 1300 AO vacant posts by settling the JAO seniority dispute. She directed our CHQ President to pursue with the court case applicants who has filed the case in Bangalore to withdraw the case & settle the issue amicably as per DoP&T instructions available. She assured that she will discuss the matter with GM (FP) to initiate CPCs after her return from leave on 4th June, 2018.

 

Promotion from AO to CAO: We requested Director (HR) to fill up about 1000 CAO posts on the similar lines of DE to DGM promotions on catch up rule. Director (HR) assured that the similar actions will be taken on catch up rule as being decided in DE to DGM promotion.

 

Promotion from CAO to DGM (Adhoc) : We requested to fill up 40 DGM (F) vacant posts by granting relaxation of one year services to the CAOs not having requisite service experience for the promotion to grade of DGM. Director (HR) assured an early action in this regard.

 

Promotion from JTO (TF) to SDE (TF) and SDE (TF) to AGM (TF): We requested to fill up all the vacant AGM (TF) and SDE (TF) posts as per the proposal submitted by GM (TF) to Pers.

We apprised Director (HR) that the proposal for the promotion from JTO (TF) to SDE (TF) for filling up of 44 SCF quota Posts and the promotion from SDE (TF) to AGM (TF) for filling up of 5 vacant posts has already been approved by the Competent Authority during Nov’ 2017 but till date CPC process has not been initiated. Director (HR) immediately directed GM (Pers) to initiate the CPC for the promotion from JTO (TF) to SDE (TF) for filling up of 44 SCF quota vacant Posts and for the promotion from SDE (TF) to AGM (TF) for filling up of 5 vacant posts. GM (Pers.) assured an early action in this regard.

 

Promotion from SDE (C/E) to EE (C/E): We expressed our resentment against the BW Cell BSNL Corporate Office attitude wherein the EE (C/E) CPCs are being conducted in violation of the BSNL MSRR. Director (HR) assured to look into the matter.

 

Promotion from JTO (E) to SDE (E) : We requested Director (HR) to fill up the vacant SDE (E) posts through CPCs. Director (HR) directed GM (Pers.) to discuss the matter with CGM (EW).

 

In this manner after detailed discussions, GM (Pers.) assured to conduct all CPCs within one month on war footing manner.

29.05.2018 CPSU Cadre Hierarchy proposal approved by the BSNL Board - our concerns thereof

 

GM (Pres.) of BSNL Corporate Office convinced the BSNL Management and the Board of Directors in their meeting held on 28.05.2018 about the need of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy and got approved it by replacing the existing EPP and BSNL MS RRs. Also pleaded that on implementation of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy no financial implication will be there rather BSNL will save additional one increment benefit on post based promotions under EPP.  

 

BSNL Board has approved the CPSU Cadre Hierarchy for BSNL Executives with the prospective date of its notification and further directed to abolish the entire vacant Group “B” and STS level posts as on 1st July 2018. It is a great injustice towards the executives who were eligible to be promoted to the next higher post on the functional basis as per the existing RRs and against the available vacancies in Group “B” and Group “A” level posts. All these executives are losing their past service which will frustrate and demoralize these executives as no proper consideration has been given for their past service. It is also said that in the CPSU Cadre Hierarchy, there will be time bound non-post based promotions but contrary to this, adhoc promotions have also been introduced at the level of AGM in the case of non-availability of the eligible candidates which means that these promotions will be against vacant posts which needs SC/ST roster implementation. Against non-post based time bound functional promotion whosoever is eligible having requisite residency period should be promoted to AGM grade on regular basis. Since, it is non-post based time bound promotion in that case why adhoc promotion?     

 

In order to overcome this unpleasant situation, we would like to suggest that as per the existing RRs all the vacant posts of Group “B” and Group “A” level should be filled up first since there is no stay order on promotions from any court. Only some directions are there to re-fix the seniority and on implementation of SC/ST roster. The TES Group “B” seniority lists should immediately be finalized based upon the Hon'ble Apex Court judgments otherwise  the non-post based time bound promotions to the higher post under CPSU Cadre Hierarchy will not be possible.    

 

In the CPSU Cadre Hierarchy proposal approved by the BSNL Board the following shortcomings will put executives in loss and will invite litigations:

 

1. CPSU Cadre Hierarchy for BSNL Executives with the prospective date of its notification will cause great injustice towards the senior executives.

2. All vacant Group “B” and STS level posts as on 1st July 2018 are going to be abolished. RRs and sanctioned posts cannot be abolished in an arbitrary and retrospective manner. It is a great injustice towards the executives who were eligible to be promoted to the next higher post on the functional basis as per the existing RRs and against the available vacancies in Group “B” and Group “A” level posts.  

3. The SC/ST Roster implementation on the pretext of non-post based time bound functional promotion has been denied whereas the adhoc promotions at AGM level have been introduced which can be against vacancies only,

4. The eligibility criterion i.e. the residency period for STS level posts has been increased to 12 years from 5/7 years. Introduction of Sr. SDE /Sr. AO as functional promotion have increased the stagnation to the SDE/AO and equivalent cadres.

5. Stringent bench marks have been introduced which will cause huge droppings,

6. Non implementation of Hon'ble Supreme Court judgments on TES Group “B” seniority before implementation of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy will invite litigations.

 

AIBSNLEA has requested CMD BSNL to kindly intervene in the matter and direct the Pers. Cell for conducting the CPCs to fill-up the entire vacant Group “B” and STS level posts immediately before notification of the corrected CPSU Care Hierarchy on the prospective date to avoid humiliation of executives and the scope of litigations.

 

So called majority Association in their website posting on 29.05.2018 have made a false claim that the formal discussions have been taken place with them only which is not correct. The fact remains that Pers, Cell of BSNL Corporate Office supplied the draft proposal to AIBSNLEA on CPSU Cadre Hierarchy and had discussions more than three times at the instances of CMD BSNL and Director (HR) wherein we submitted our views / suggestions to the BSNL Management for consideration. Some suggestions given by AIBSNLEA have been considered for example non-post based time bound promotion up to the level of AGM instead of Sr. SDE, Jt. DGM designation to the executives drawing E5 scale and numerical bench mark consideration instead of subjective classifications etc.  But, many suggestions have not been considered since the so called majority Association agreed upon.

28.05.2018 It is also learnt that no discussions were taken place on Creation of the Tower Subsidiary Company of BSNL in BSNL's Board meeting held today afternoon at Hyderabad.

28.05.2018 CPSU Cadre Hierarchy approved by BSNL Board on prospective date implementation: BSNL Board in its meeting held today afternoon at Hyderabad approved CPSU Cadre Hierarchy on prospective dated i.e. date of notification will be the date of implementation. The CPSU Cadre Hierarchy implementation with prospective date will not benefit the existing executives. In view of that before its notification, AIBSNLEA will continue its efforts to get fill up all Group-‘B' and STS/JAG equivalent vacant posts of all disciplines through CPCs.

The suggestions given by AIBSNLEA to consider time bound functional promotion upto AGM Level, Jt. DGM designation to the STS level officers working in E-5 grade has been considered and approved by BSNL Board.

 

The other issues i.e. eligibility conditions for promotion from SDE/AO to DE/CAO within 7 years instead of 12 years, benchmarks on numerical basis and SC/ST roster implementation have been considered or not will be find out shortly.

 

It is learnt that BSNL Board has recommended to abolish all SDE/AO, DE/CAO equivalent posts w.e.f. 01st July, 2018. Thus the all vacant posts of Group-'B' and STS level are necessarily required to be filled up by conducting CPCs before 1st July 2018 so that the existing majority executives may get desired benefits of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy.

 

BSNL Management has to take immediate necessary steps to finalize that TES Group-'B' seniority as per the Hon'ble SC judgments to fill up the vacant posts to avoid further litigations.

Secy. so that the same can be informed to our members. GM(Pers) appreciated our concern and discussed point wise all the observations made by JS (Admn.). The following discussions took place.

a) CPSU cadre hierarchy: GM(Pers) informed that response on CPSU cadre hierarchy proposal approved by  BSNL MC has been received from Jt. Secy. (Admn) DoT, Govt. nominee Director of BSNL Board  wherein he has  given some  objections in the proposal submitted by the BSNL  viz.

i) In the BSNLs proposal cleared by BSNL MC will create financial and legal implications due to effective date of implementation from 01.01.2017. In view of this JS has suggested to give date of effect from prospective date

ii) The existing vacancies are to be filled up subject to outcome of court case by conducting CPCs.

iii)  Prior approval of BSNL Board/DoT is required wherein promotions affecting pension instead of only BSNL MC approval.

iv) Existing EPP shouldn't be continued in BSNL after implementation of CPSU hierarchy.

v) BSNL HR plan has not been finalized on the required no. of posts which needs clarification.

vi) The Screening committee has to be conducted on every time bound functional promotions under CPSU cade hierarchy instead of automatic promotion for the executives working in higher scales.

vii) The clause 5.6 is irrelevant para on AGM (Adhoc) as no vacancy based promotion up to AGM.

viii) Date of financial upgradation E4-E5 and E5-E6 has to be explained since the CPSU time bound functional promotions are limiting up to E4 scale only.

ix) Any functional promotion in the same scale no additional increment is allowed.

x) The bench mark should be very good (35) for OC and Good (31) for SC/ST instead of good (31) and Average (27) bench mark.

xi) Promotion to be given in the feeder cadre as per existing policy, if there is no court stay order is pending on promotion.

xii) All the cadres seniority lists should be finalized immediately etc.

GM Pers told that these issues needs to be examined and submitted to the JS for consideration before submitting the final proposal to the BSNL Board. We expressed our serious concern against the observations made by JS (Admn.) DoT wherein the date of effect has been suggested from prospective date, similarly the eligibility condition from SDE/AO to DE/CAO promotion is now prescribed 12 years' service instead of 5/7 years of service and increase in bench mark etc. will not at all benefit the executives rather will put them into loss.

We further requested to consider date of effect from the last DPC date/ year of recruitment and to consider our views/ suggestions given earlier on all the clauses vide our letter no. AIBSNLEA/CHQ/CPSU/2017 dated 15.11.2017. Also requested to expedite CPCs on priority.

GM (Pers) assured that immediate action will be taken after getting opinion of CVO.

d) Promotion from JTO to SDE(Telecom.) SCF quota:- We requested GM(Pers) to initiate CPC to fill up the vacant TES Group-B posts since the judgement of Hon'ble High Court Kerala is expected to be pronounced after 23rd May 2018. Since the new SDE RR has been notifying on seniority fixation in SDE cadre on ROTA Quota basis which may allow favorable judgement, this will allow promotions. More than 10000 SDE(Telecom.) vacant posts are there which needs immediate filling up. Earlier the CPC was initiated to fill up about 6000 SDE (T) posts but due to stay orders the same was held up. Most of the APARs of the eligible JTOs were accessed through screening process for promotion thus now only one or two years APARs needs to be accessed for promotion. GM (Pers) mentioned that the VCRs have already been called from the Circles and the action to initiate CPC will be take shortly.

Member (F) assured that she will examine the case as per prevailing rules as and when proposal will come to her office.

However, she advise us to take up the case in Estt. Section, DoT to instruct CCAs to stop recoveries by taking undertaking from  BSNL Pensioners.

DDG (Estt.) mentioned that the matter has been examined and DoT administration is of the opinion that pension revision of BSNL pensioners will take place only after their pay revision. We further pleaded that BSNL pensioners are not playing any role in the affordability of BSNL, thus their pension revision should be delinked with the pay revision and as per the BSNL reply to DoT that at present the pension liability of BSNL pensioners is about Rs. 4200 Crores and after the revision of pension with 15% fitment benefit it will increase Rs. 4800 Crores.
