Addressing the Mounting Frustrations in AO to CAO Promotion :

In light of the escalating frustrations among executives awaiting promotion, particularly from AO to CAO, despite the recent release of the final judgment from Hon'ble CAT Chandigarh on O.A. No.060/1435/2018 & Others on February 26, 2024, we emphasized the urgency of taking necessary steps to expedite the issuance of AO to CAO promotion orders. PGM (Pers) underscored that the pending promotions are of great concern to BSNL management. Additionally, acknowledging the significance of the judgment, PGM Pers highlighted the possibility of seeking recourse in higher court in accordance with prevailing DOPT guidelines. Reassuringly, CMD has scheduled a detailed meeting on this matter for the current week, affirming BSNL management's commitment to exploring all legitimate avenues for expediting pending AO to COA promotions.

Expediting Pending SQ Promotion Orders:

We reiterated our request for the prompt release of SQ promotion orders from SDET to AGMT, as previously assured to be issued by the end of March 2024. PGM Pers acknowledged the assurance provided and clarified that all DPC works have been completed timely. However, the Election Code of Conduct currently serves as a limiting factor, with the release anticipated immediately after the conclusion of the electoral process.

Ensuring Timely Conduct of LICE and SQ Promotion Orders:

In response to our inquiry regarding scheduled LICE, PGM (Pers) affirmed its timely conduct, along with the issuance of SQ promotion orders across all cadres, ensuring adherence to established timelines.

Streamlining Inter-Circle Long Stay Transfer Orders:

We advocated for the minimization of inter-circle long stay transfer orders as per operational necessity, citing the challenge posed by the executives and their presently working circles. Additionally, we appealed against the immediate ERP Struck off of officers already under inter-circle transfer order. Encouragingly, PGM Pers expressed positivity towards our requests, assuring careful consideration of the suggestions put forth by AIBSNLEA.

Immediate Release of Pending Promotions for PWBD Candidates:

We pressed for the immediate release of pending promotions of PWBD candidates for vacancies from VY 2016, in line with recent clear guidance issued. PGM shared that management is actively assessing all necessary details for granting promotions to all eligible officers tagged PWBD, complying with all the latest guidelines .

The leadership of AIBSNLEA extends heartfelt gratitude to Adhir Kumar Singhal ji , PGM (Pers) for graciously considering our suggestions following our in-depth discussions on various matters.

1.    1. Pending AO to CAO Promotion

We expressed the ongoing frustrations of the executives awaiting promotion, particularly from AO to CAO, for an extended duration. Given the recent release of the final judgment from Hon'ble CAT Chandigarh on the O.A. No.060/1435/2018 & Others on 26-02-2024, we earnestly urged CMD BSNL to expedite the issuance of promotion orders from AO to CAO. We commended CMD BSNL for engaging a senior lawyer from the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India to hasten the finalization of the case and for promptly releasing the judgment upon our continuous advocacy.

Leaders of AIBSNLEA emphasized the importance of expediting the AO to CAO promotions, recognizing the prolonged delay in this specific promotion. CMD BSNL acknowledged our concerns and engaged in a half-hour discussion on the matter. CMD BSNL suggested that BSNL could streamline the promotion process by converting all vacancies into LICE quotas. While we appreciated his proactive approach, we requested against this route.

After the enriching half-hour discussion, CMD BSNL reiterated his commitment to release the pending promotions, specifically from AO to CAO and from DGM (ad hoc) to DGM (regular). CMD BSNL warmly encouraged AIBSNLEA leaders to present any practical solutions we may have for the promotion at any juncture and assured us of his openness to further discussions. We applauded CMD BSNL for his unwavering dedication to swiftly issuing the promotion orders.

Today  the GS , President, and Dy GS met GM (Training & Recruitment) of BSNL to address the reason for the postponement of the Scheduled Limited Internal Competitive Examinations (LICEs). Inquiring into the reasons behind it, GM elucidated that numerous CGMs and officers across various regions in BSNL had urged BSNL management to defer the exams. This was due to the substantial influx of leave requests from applicants, posing a significant challenge to meeting the financial targets set for Circles and Employees.

Following this, BSNL management promptly reached out to the agency responsible for conducting the LICEs and requested for the exams to be rescheduled. The agency has affirmed its readiness to administer the exams on any forthcoming dates. GM assured that the exams could be feasibly scheduled for any time post-March 2024.
