Notification of MSRRs 2023:
As the matter of MSRR has already been
taken up by the Forum of Associations of BSNL comprising
AIBSNLEA/AIGETOA/SNEA/SEWA/TOA, so much discussion was
not there on it and the forum would take up this
further.
Posting of 45 officers in JAG grade to
BSNL from DOT:
AIBSNLEA shared our concern in the
posting of the 45 officers in JAG grade to BSNL from
DOT. As per the DOT letter No 12-2/2022-STG-I-Part (2)
dated 31.12.2023, it is learned that 82 officers are
promoted in JAG of ITS Group “A” by DOT and out of them
45 officers are deputed in BSNL out of which 22 officers
were recruited in DOT era in recruitment years 1991 to
1997 as JTO similar to many other officers recruited by
DOT and subsequently absorbed in BSNL.
At the time absorption in BSNL all have
been offered to opt for BSNL by DOT/BSNL Management, but
they denied to take absorption in BSNL and opted DOT.
Now these officers are promoted as regular JAG and
posted in BSNL. We also shared that this Association is
going on receiving grievances from our senior executives
on this posting that though the absorbed employees are
still working in the AGM grade only. AIBSNLEA further
requested to consider the posting of these JAG officers
in BSNL against DR DGM quota only and all the eligible
AGMs/DGM(Adhoc) in BSNL should immediately be promoted
to the grade of regular DGM since sufficient vacancies
are available to avoid any heartburning and Humiliation
of the existing executives.
Much delayed 3rd PRC for BSNL
Employees:
AIBSNLEA requested to consider the much
delayed and long-awaited 3rd PRC for the BSNL
employees as BSNL has the EBIDTA positive for the last 2
consecutive years and reportedly BSNL may touch
operating profit for this FY-2022-23. For the Last FY
2021-22, the BSNL total Income was Rs.19053 Crores and
total expenditure (exclude interest & dep.) was of
Rs.18109 Crore thus EBIDTA Positive by Rs.944 Crore but
there was a Net Loss for the year by Rs.6982 Crores.
This year BSNL received much financial packages from GOI
as part of 2nd revival package including the
Viability Gap funding of Rs.13789 Crores for operating
the commercially unviable rural wireline operation done
by BSNL. CMD BSNL replied that BSNL has to pay for the
2G spectrum licence fee to DOT may increase our
expenditure for this FY 2023. DIR(HR), was also present
on the meeting, has informed that the revenue from BSNL
operations is not getting increased is a concern for
BSNL. AIBSNLEA requested to consider immediately the 3rd
PRC for BSNL employees since it is due from 01.01.2017
and more than 6 years have already been elapsed. CMD
BSNL mentioned that we will look into it after the
Financial Results of the FY 2022-23.
Due to some urgent meeting called for CMD
BSNL, we could not discuss on other pending points.
These pending points will be discussed in the next
Meeting with CMD BSNL.
10.01.2023Today,
the 10th Jan 2023, the GS Com Shaji V and the
President Com Rajpal Sharma had an emergency meeting
with CMD BSNL Shri PK Purwar ji and discussed the
following matter
Long Pending AO - CAO
Court Case at Hon'ble CAT Chandigarh regarding
Status-quo on AO to CAO promotions (OA
No 1435/ 2018 )
AIBSNLEA Shared our sincere gratitude to CMD BSNL for
causing to arrange an eminent Sr. Advocate from the Hon.
Supreme Court of India to deal the case at the CAT
Chandigarh as promised by CMD to this Association. We
further appraised CMD on the heartburn of the affected
executives due to the case. When all pending promotions
in all streams are almost completely released by BSNL
management, but the long-lasting blockage of the
Status-quo called by the Hon. CAT Chandigarh could not
be vacated is a painful matter of real concern to
AIBSNLEA. More discussions on the Case and related
matters happened with CMD for around half an hour since
the AIBSNLEA CHQ team and CS AIBSNLEA Punjab had been
very much available in the CAT Chandigarh all along the
arguments of the Case. CMD BSNL had a patient hearing
on all our points and appals.
Further, CMD BSNL shared that CMD is ready to have a
conference call with the Lawyer and AIBSNLEA to update
all the relevant points to vacate the stay and whatever
be the amount to be paid for that BSNL will pay
additionally to the Lawyer , if required. AIBSNLEA
extended whole hearted thanks and regards to CMD for his
very sincere approach for getting way to give the very
long pending promotion orders for the executives in
Accounts fraternity. CMD BSNL replied that he is also
equally or more worried on this pending promotion.

Meeting Of Forum Of BSNL
Associations (AIBSNLEA , SNEA , AIGETOA & SEWA) With Hon
. CMD BSNL On Draft MSRR 2023 on 19-12-2022 : Monday.
The meeting
of leaders from Forum of Associations of BSNL was held
with CMD BSNL. Discussion on apprehensions related to
amendment of MSRR 2023 took place with CMD BSNL. CMD
BSNL welcomed all the participants and informed about
the view of management with respect to the proposed
changes in the MSRR 2023 and his vision to move
organization towards a meritocracy. CMD BSNL further
told leaders to share the apprehensions on the proposed
MSRR draft.
Forum leaders expressed that none of the association is
against introduction of meritocracy but the change over
should be gradual and should not be done in a haste. We
are apprehensive that such hasty implementation will
result into complete mess where all the future
promotions shall be marred with litigations. We firmly
shared our view that any changes in MSRR should only be
done after executing the promotions of all eligible
candidates who have completed their residency period in
the grade and also those who are about to complete their
residency on 01.01.2023. It is very clear that proposed
MSRR 2023 completely blocks the career progression of
already eligible executives who have already served in
organization for so long and now when their promotion is
due, we will be making them devoid of promotions by
bringing a new MSRR. We informed CMD BSNL that this will
not go down well with executives and in view of the DOPT
provisions, even this will not stand the test of law. We
expressed firmly that first management should promote
all the eligible executives across various streams and
grades to next grade before moving on to the new regime.
We demanded promotions to all eligible executives
including AGM Equivalent to DGM Equivalent grade in all
streams (Telecom, Finance, Civil, Electrical, TF and
Architecture), SDE to AGM Promotions including List 12
and 13 in Telecom Stream, AO to CAO in finance stream,
SDE to EE in Civil stream, JTO to SDE SCF/LDCE in
Telecom Stream. We also highlighted that committee
should have representatives of all stakeholders and
deliberations can be held thereafter once all eligible
executives are promoted. Leaders also raised the pending
promotions of SDE Reversal candidates, PWD Candidates
and further promotions in JTO to SDE cadre. Leaders also
highlighted the need for inclusion of management side
representative belonging to the reserved category
candidate as new MSRR will affect the careers of all
executives. Leaders also highlighted that the cut-off
date of implementing next MSRR should be 1st April
instead of 1st January. Further leaders also told that
provision should be there for meritorious candidates but
before that eligible executives should be promoted to
avoid any legal complications. Leaders all expressed
that all existing eligible executives can be
accommodated with slight tweaking, adjustment and
creating extra posts because of 4G saturation, BBNL
Merger and revision in restructuring norms.
CMD BSNL noted all points and told
that he is open to all suggestions. He told us that
after discussing with his team, he shall be reverting
back on what best can be done. Further CMD BSNL assured
that Calendar of DPCs and LICE/LDCE to be conducted in
2023 will be published in first week of January 2023
itself. The meeting ended on a positive note and we hope
that our inputs and demands shall be taken care of
before moving on to the next MSRR regime. Leaders
extended their thanks to CMD BSNL and PGM SR and hoped
that the inputs shall be considered in a positive and
time-bound manner.

Dear
Comrades , in the continuing fight against
the
very executive unfriendly Draft MSRRs 2023
, which will detrimentally affect the carrier up
gradation of executives in BSNL , the Executives'
Associations ( AIBSNLEA , SNEA , AIGETOA & SEWA) in BSNL
formed a "Forum Of Associations in BSNL" .
After two three rounds of
discussions among the "Forum Of Associations in BSNL" ,
today the Forum leaders write to the CMD BSNL for
"
the immediate withholding
of further action on the draft MSSR 2023 and execute
regular promotions for all eligible executives those who
will complete their residency on 01-01-2023 based on the
existing MSRRs 2009 and thereafter start fresh
deliberations on MSRRs 2023 by reconstituting the MSRR
Committe with inclusion of representatives from all
stake holders ( BSNL Executives & Management)...."
14.12.2022
GS and President met GM (Pers) and discussed on the
progress of filing MA to vacate the
“Status Quo” called by the CAT
Chandigarh on AO to CAO promotion in 2018 . GM ( Pers)
informed that as per the request of AIBSNLEA , BSNL
management already directed Haryana Circle to do so .
AIBSNLEA extended sincere thanks for the same . We
expect the MA will be filed by today or by tomorrow.
We requested to release
all the pending individual request transfers .
GM (Pers) replied that management is going on
considering all the eligible transfers and pending if
any will be released without delay .
On Draft MSRRs 2023
AIBSNLEA submitted our views :-
AIBSNLEA
appreciate the efforts of BSNL Management to frame a
New BSNL MSRRs viz BSNL MSRRs 2023.
Hurry and
untimely introduction of BSNL MSRRs-2023 (Telecom
Operation), having widely suspected favouritisms to a
small group, may end up the whole promotion
possibilities to AGM, DGM & higher levels through
possible litigations based on the biased MSRRs
All Existing vacancies prior to the date of
notification of new MSRR-2023 shall be filled up
through existing MSRRs 2009 only.
Even after the
notification of New MSRRs, the old MSRR shall only be
valid for carrying out CPCs to be completed prior to
the new MSRRs.
As per DOPT guidelines, the vacancy quota carried over
from the previous VYs (SQ /DR) shall not be diverted
to any other quota , when new MSRR is deviced. New Vacancies falling after the
notification of new MSRR only shall be used for
SQ/LICE quotas.
BSNL MSRRs-2023 in all streams may be finalized and
notified in a single go in line with BSNL MSRRs 2009
to avoid fresh litigations on the disproportion of
things among different streams.
For the larger interest of BSNL, the draft BSNL
MSRRs-2023 may kindly be kept aside until all CPCs in
all streams are completed as on 01-01-2023 starting
with AGM(T) to DGM(T) promotion orders as your
kindness promised for the same on many occasions.
Career
Progression of Able Executives in BSNL to the higher
management levels viz GM/PGM/CGM shall be ensured.
Which would attract efficient carrier aspirants to
BSNL so that an officer joined in JTO & equivalent
cadre can reach up to the Level of CGM.
According to the need of a Calendar Year, the DR quota
may be diverted to internal quota, if needed to
accommodate the extremely talented & experienced pool
of officers in DM/AGM levels available with BSNL & to
accommodate to AGM/DGM levels as a token of motivation
to the officers who have performed extra ordinarily to
BSNL but short of qualifying length of service.
The confusing
Note 1 in page 8 of draft MSRRs-2023 may be deprecated
for
“ the eligibility for LICE to AGM/DGM Levels shall be
E4/E5 respectively”
The benefit of one
additional increment on post based promotion when the
executives are in the current scale of the post is
there in MSRRs2009 and ismissing
with the new draft MSRRs 2023 . It shall be restored .
Later GS and President
met PGM(Establishment) and discussed on MSSRs 2023 and
submitted the above views of AIBSNLEA . Both
GM(Pers) and PGM(Estt) had a patient hearing and had
healthy interactions.
13.12.2022 BSNL CO ordered to enforce effects of linking of online
attendance system with ERP from 01-01-2023. All
Controlling officers are to submit the Online attendance
of subordinates timely.

Hurry and untimely introduction of BSNL MSRRs-2023
(Telecom Operation), having widely suspected favoritism
to a small group, may end up the whole promotion
possibilities to AGM, DGM & higher levels through
possible litigations based on the biased MSRRs.
For the larger interest of BSNL, the draft BSNL
MSRRs-2023 may kindly be kept aside until all CPCs in
all streams are completed as on 01-01-2023 starting with
AGM(T) to DGM(T) promotion orders .
Respected Sir,
At the outset permit us to share
our sincere
regards and gratitude to your
acumen for causing the smooth release of some of the
long-awaited promotions in various streams viz
Electrical, Architecture, Telecom Factory, CSS, Telecom
Operations, etc. These Promotion orders caused a good
sense of motivation and enthusiasm among the BSNL
executives which would certainly contribute to better
yielding in BSNL. We are damn sure that BSNL management
is sincerely working on releasing all the pending
promotion orders in all streams including that in the
much-awaited AO to CAO , SDE(C) to EE(C) etc. cadres.
We are proud of you Sir that in the recent past BSNL has
been awarded two back-to-back revival packages which
helped BSNL to afloat with an authorized capital of Rs
1.5 Lack Crores from a mere Rs 40,000 Crores. We are
extremely thankful and obliged to the Government of
India and DOT for awarding life to our BSNL. A
comfortable and balanced future is expected for BSNL
after the revival packages, especially by inducting
state-of-the-art Core switching /transmission equipment,
4G Technology, etc.
In spite of all, BSNL is still
passing through a turbulent transition phase with many
aspects viz Operation/HR integration of MTNL & BBNL,
distress from BSNL Employees on Pending 3rd
PRC, 30% Superannuation benefit to BSNL Recruited
employees as per DPE guidelines, E2-E3 Standard pay
scales to JTO/SDE Equivalent executives, Rs. 22820/- to
be extended to all the LICE/DR JTOs of 2007 & 2008
Batches & DR JTO/JAO 2010 Batches, E1+5 increments to
JTO (SRD) and all LICE /DR Post 2010 JAO/JTO Batches and
PA cadre, reversion of 2007 LDCE SDE-JTO(2001 DR Batch),
Scrapping of SDE Equivalent RRs for 7 Years as promotion
period between JTO equivalent to SDE equivalent instead
of 12 years and further 7 years for AGM equ Promotions,
etc. in addition to multiples of Court cases in
relation to promotions of executives and other HR
matters.
However, this association has full
faith in you Sir that you can manage all these odds
effortlessly and turn around BSNL in the near future.
Now, we are constrained to draw your kind attention to
the above-cited subject of the hurry and untimely
introduction of BSNL MSRRs-2023 (Telecom Operation),
having widely suspected favoritism to a small group. We
request your kindness to intervene in the matter and
direct the concerned officers in BSNL to have sufficient
interactions for taking the views of all stakeholders.
Some of the Paragraphs and Notes in the draft BSNL
MSRRs-2023 (Telecom Operation) are on prima facie &
generally perceived to compulsively attract litigations
to end up the very purpose of the BSNL MSRRs-2023 in
the Courts of Law.
From our past experience too, we feel that the proposed
draft BSNL MSRRs-2023 (Telecom Operation) may be another
bait to attract fresh litigators.
BSNL MSRRs-2023 in all streams may be finalized and
notified in a single go in line with BSNL MSRRs 2009 to
avoid fresh litigations on the disproportion of things
among different streams. Moreover, the issues on SDE(T)
RR – 2022 have not been finalized and notified yet.
Hence,
in this turbulent transition phase of BSNL, for the
better and larger interest of BSNL, the proposed draft
BSNL MSRRs-2023 may kindly be directed to keep aside
until healthy discussions will be completed with all the
stakeholders on the MSRRs.
We kindly request you to cause the completion of CPCs on
all cadres in all streams, before going ahead with the
proposed MSRRs 2023 , starting with the CPC for AGM(T)
to DGM(T) as of 01-01-2023 .
As
per the revised sanctioned strength in the post-VRS
restructuring, the internal quota for DGM(T) is 1116 and
that of the DR DGM(T) is 120. The internal quota of
DGM(T) is purely under the Seniority Quota as per MSRRs
2009 and it cannot be diverted to any other quota under
any new MSRRs as this will turn off the promotion
opportunity of the very rich experienced senior
executives in BSNL who are waiting long for the last
functional promotion of their career. For DGM(T)
promotion against the available vacancies, a good number
of AGM(T)s have already completed their 4 years of
regular stay in AGM(T) cadre as of 29-06-2022 are
eligible for DGM(T) promotion from 01-01-2023 in
addition to many DGMT (Adhoc) officers . Hence, CPC for
AGM(T) to DGM(T) for all the 1116 vacancies may kindly
be ordered as of 01-01-2023. This will certainly cause
subsequent CPCs for SDE(T) to AGM(T) for 1116 vacancies
and CPCs for JTO (T) to SDE(T) for 1116 vacancies. The
same is the merit for different cadres in other Streams
too.
We
once again earnestly request your kindness to cause to
issue necessary instructions to the concerned to
complete the CPC for 1116 DGM(T) vacancies on 01-01-2023
and issue the promotion orders from AGM(T) to DGM(T). Further , we
fervently request your kindness to cause to issue
necessary instructions to the concerned to release all
the other eligible promotion orders as on 01-01-2023 in
all cadres of other streams also viz Finance, Civil,
Electrical , TF , CSS , CSSS etc before the notification
of the MSRRs 2023 , subsequent to the promotion orders
from AGM(T) to DGM(T).

Update on the Long-awaited AO to CAO Promotion:
BSNL management informed to AIBSNLEA CHQ that,
understandably the Double Bench (DB) has been
constituted in CAT Chandigarh. It is also informed that
BSNL management is filing a fresh MA as per the request
of this Association for the vacation of the “Status Quo”
on AO to CAO promotion called by the CAT in 2018.
As we have reported multiple times through our website,
upon the fair and persistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, BSNL
management has been trying their level best to vacate
the “Status Quo”. AIBSNLEA is very much thankful for the
efforts of BSNL management. The vacation of “Status Quo
“could not happen despite all out efforts of BSNL
management upon the reason of court that the case is a
DB matter.
Now, the DB is constituted in CAT Chandigarh and BSNL
filing MA for early hearing also, we hope that the
“Status Quo” will be vacated by the Hon CAT Chandigarh.
This will pave the way to the release of the
Long-awaited AO to CAO Promotion orders as soon as the
“Status Quo” is vacated. AIBSNLEA CHQ is closely
monitoring and pursuing the case.

writes to the CMD BSNL with Copy to the new DIR(Finance) Shri. Rajiv Kumar ji also for his kind
information and intervention to resolve the long pending
grant of 5 (five) advance
increments on the minimum revised E1 IDA Pay Scale of
Rs.16400-40500 to the SRD JTOs & DR Specially abled 2010
batch, LDCE JAOs 2013 batch DR JAOs of 2015, 2018 batch,
DR JTO of 2017 batch LDCE JAOs of 2016 batches and LDCE
JTOs of 2016 & 2017 batches .
---
due to the consistent effort of AIBSNLEA the matter had been
considered and approved by the MC of the BSNL Board. But
the approval of the BSNL Board is kept pending for the
past so many years.....
.....The
difference in basic pay of DR JTOs of 2010 (Specially
abled), DR JAOs of 2015, 2018, DR JTOs of 2017, LDCE JAO
2016 and LDCE JTO 2016 & 2017 batches become Rs 2620/-
(Rs,19020– Rs.16400) comparing to the DR JTOs of 2007
batch, 2008 batch and JAOs of 2010 LDCE batch. If other
allowances are added, the real difference in salary
today will be around Rs 10,000/-. On implementation of
3rd PRC, the difference will further increase and
continue with time due to increase in IDA and annual
increment. Further, all are facingto
the major losses in the form of career
progression (time-bound promotion), retirement benefits
like E.P.F., Gratuity etc., due to discrimination of the
initial basic pay compared to other similarly placed JTO/JAOs.......
