10.05.2019:                     DE to DGM promotion:

AIBSNLEA is making sincere efforts for DE to DGM promotion to fill-up all vacant DGM posts on Adhoc basis. Accordingly Pers. Cell of BSNL CO has initiated the process of DE to DGM promotion by calling APAR and VCR. All the APAR/ VCRs  of the eligible DEs have been received in Pers. Cell. The approval for conducting CPC from DE to DGM yet to be received by Pers. Cell from the competent authority. The seniority list of SDEs have been finalized by Pers. cell on the basis of rule 206 and has been submitted to the competent authority for approval. After the approval on SDE seniority list,  the DE seniority list is finalized and will be submitted to the competent authority for approval. As per the direction given by Hon'ble CAT Chandigarh CPC will be expedited on finalization of DEs seniority list.

The CPC will be expedited after the approval of the competent authority   on SDEs and DE seniority list only. Thus promotion orders from DE to DGM may be expected in the next week only.

Some associations is demanding DE to DGM promotion on regular basis ignoring the fact that the DGMs promoted on regular basis will not be governed by EPP and will be deprived from getting time bound promotion in E6 grade which is due in most of the cases in the month of October 2019. Most of the DEs are at present stagnated in the E5 grade, and on getting E6 grade under EPP they will be benefited by Two increments. In case these DGMs are promoted for regular basis  then they will be govern by BSNL MSRR provisions only and will be entitled for next time bound promotion in E7 grade  after 5 year as Jt. GM.

Thus these regularly promoted DGMs will be debarred to get benefit of Time bound promotion in E6 grade under EPP.  The fact remains that most of the DGMs being promoted in CPC will retire within 5 years in the grade of E5 only. In this manner these executives will be getting two increment less in their pay as well as pensionery benefits.

Some Association is claiming that let these promotion order be issued on regular basis thereafter they will get modified /amended the BSNL MSRR / EPP provisions. It is pertinent to mentioned that this association is well aware of  present ruling position then why they kept mum so far for amending the rules and how they are confident to get amended these rules immediately . it seems this association is interested to put these DGMs in Financial loss for their whole life for which reasons are best known to them. AIBSNLEA knowing all these facts is demanding DGM promotion on adhoc basis immediately and DGM regular promotion after Nov 2019.

DOP&PW advice to DOT on VRS in BSNL / MTNL: It is understood that DOP&PW has given advice to DOT on implementation of VRS in BSNL/MTNL i.e. VRS scheme proposed by DoT is as per DPE guidelines and is relevant for the employees of PSUs, who do not get pension under CCS Pension Rule on Volunteer Retirement. The pension of BSNL/ MTNL employees is regulated by CCS Pension rule and the same is paid by the Govt. from Consolidate Fund of India. Rule 37 A of CCS (P) Rule provides for volunteer retirement after completion of 10 years combined qualifying service these employees of BSNL/MTNL could be encouraged to go on volunteer retirement under the existing rule 37 A instead of offering the Ex gratia in addition to the normal pensionary benefits available in terms of rule 37 A of CCS (Pension) rules.

In accordance with the rule 37 A of those rules, their pension is also be paid by the Govt. DoT may, therefore, examine in consultation with DoPT whether, instead of offering them a Special Volunteer Retirement Scheme (VRS), these employees could be transferred to surplus cell for redeployment in DoT or other Govt. Departments of the Central Govt. for the remaining period of their service in accordance with the scheme of DoPT for redeployment of the surplus staff.

From the above, it seems that DoP&PW is not in favour of imposing VRS to those employees who have taken absorption in BSNL/MTNL and opted for combined service and are governed for Govt. pension under rule 37 A. Hence, AIBSNLEA demands DoT/ Govt. to extent financial support to BSNL/MTNL for their growth , maintenance & operations as per the recommendation given by the GoM earlier in 2013-14.

(a) DE to DGM Promotion: We requested CMD, BSNL to allow to conduct CPC from DE to DGM (T) promotion on Adhoc basis and to recast the final Seniority list of SDEs/DEs. CMD BSNL assured to discuss the matter with PGM (Pers) for early issuance of the promotion orders. 

(b) Diversion of 50% MT quota CAO posts to the seniority quota:  We requested CMD to consider diversion of 50% MT Internal quota of CAO posts numbering 336 posts to the seniority quota in the BSNL Board meeting scheduled to be held on 27th May, 2019. CMD assured to look in to the matter.

(c) HR Integration: We requested CMD that the HR integration already ordered in BSNL Corporate Office, New Delhi vide the BSNL CO Lr.No 500-53/2016/ERP/Per-I dated 24th January on the basis of the recommendation of BSNL Management Committee should be continued as per KPMG Recommendations. CMD mentioned that the matter is under consideration and will be discussed in the Management Committee of the BSNL Board today to re-examine the present system.  

(d) Merger of Circles: We enquired about the rumors in Social Media that BSNL Board has decided to merge nearby Territorial Circles to save the establishment cost. CMD BSNL mentioned that so for no such decision has been taken to merge the Territorial Circles but merger of Non-Recruiting Circles and the Circles in the same State may be considered in future.

(e) Revival of BSNL: We enquired about the Govt. view on revival of BSNL as proposed by DoT. CMD BSNL mentioned that now due to paucity of time the next Govt. may only take the call on this issue. However, he has suggested DoT to bring VRS in BSNL by offering 3rd PRC implementation which may attract more number of employees.                 

08.05.2019:  Meeting with PGM (Pers) CO, BSNL: GS, President & AGS (F) met PGM (Pers) CO, BSNL and discussed regarding

(a) DE to DGM Promotion: We requested PGM (Pers) to expedite the CPC from DE to DGM (T) promotion on Adhoc basis and to recast the final Seniority list of SDEs/DEs. PGM (Pers) mentioned that the proposal to re-initiate the CPC from DE to DGM has been sent to the Competent Authority for approval after taking the Legal Opinion on pending Court Cases/Judgements from CGM (Legal) BSNL CO on SDEs/DEs Seniority List. He further mentioned that after the approval of the Competent Authority on SDEs/DEs Seniority the CPC will be expedited to issue promotion orders from DE to DGM Adhoc. PGM (Pers) opined that in case everything goes smooth the Promotion order from DE to DGM may be issued in the next week itself.

(b) Diversion of 50% MT quota CAO posts to the seniority quota:  We requested PGM (Pers) to consider diversion of 50% MT Internal quota of CAO posts numbering 336 posts to the seniority quota in the BSNL Board meeting scheduled to be held on 27th May, 2019. PGM (Pers) assured to resubmit the proposal in the next BSNL Board Meeting.

Revival of BSNL/MTNL

On the issue of Revival of BSNL GS and President met the concerned Senior Officers of DoT and discussed regarding the DoT proposal for Revival of BSNL to be approved by the Union Cabinet. It is learnt that the proposal on Revival of BSNL/MTNL as directed by PMO was taken up with the Ministry of Finance, wherein MOF has advised DoT to reexamine the proposal and to submit to the next Government for consideration. It is understood that the Govt./DoT is now of the opinion that since the BSNL/MTNL Employees are covered with the Govt. Pension under Rule-37 A provisions then no ex-gratia/incentive can be offered to the Employees on the pretext of VRS.  For example MTNL Employees were given VRS twice when they were not paid Govt. Pension under Rule- 37 A. Thus Govt. is not considering financial support to BSNL/MTNL for VRS. Regarding monetization of BSNL/MTNL Assets it is to be decided that whether DEEPAM or DoT will do the Mutation process. Allocation of 4G spectrum to BSNL/MTNL will also be considered by the next Govt. only
