BSNL 4G Rollout:

On the BSNL 4G rollout, CMD of BSNL shared that while some minor issues are still pending at the 4G core for resolution, there is an optimistic outlook that these will be addressed in the near future. One significant development to note is that hundreds of BTS are already been dispatched and installed. This proactive step indicates a commitment to the project's progress. It is expected that within the next 10-15 days, the process of integrating this equipment will commence. 

CMD of BSNL shared very positivity on the full rollout of an indigenous 4G network in the shortest possible time frame. Furthermore, there are plans for subsequent up-gradation to 5G technology, highlighting a forward-looking approach to keeping pace with evolving telecommunications standards and technologies.

3^rd PRC for BSNL:

We requested the implementation of the 3rd PRC for BSNL employees in the backdrop of the significant development from PCAT New Delhi to revise the pensions of BSNL pensioners in accordance with the Central Pay Commission (CPC) recommendations. This is uplifting news for numerous BSNL pensioners, as it promises enhanced financial benefits in line with current standards.

The CMD of BSNL has articulated a firm stance on the matter. He has unequivocally stated that, at the present juncture, BSNL is not in a financial position to implement the 3rd PRC. In a balancing act between fiscal responsibility and employee welfare, CMD of BSNL has expressed his non-opposition to any initiatives aimed at implementing the 3rd PRC for BSNL employees.

Pending Promotions (AO to CAO, AGMT to DGM T , CAO to DGM F etc )

The CMD of BSNL has emphasized that promotions for eligible officers are being carried out based on the available vacancies across all streams within the organization. However, a significant obstacle to the promotion process has arisen due to legal challenges. CMD of BSNL has pointed out that some have initiated legal proceedings, which have effectively halted or delayed some of the promotion process. This legal intervention appears to be impeding the progress of promotions for eligible officers. In light of these legal challenges, CMD of BSNL has clarified that the BSNL management's hands are tied. Promotions in these cases cannot proceed until the legal matters are resolved and a final decision is reached by the courts.

In response to the letter of AIBSNLEA (No. AIBSNLEA/CHQ/CMD/2023 Dated 25.09.2023) which addresses the need to streamline the transfer, posting, and immunity from transfer processes for executives within BSNL through ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) automation, CMD of BSNL has acknowledged and responded positively to the suggestions. CMD of BSNL has given careful consideration to the suggestions presented in the letter. Importantly, he has acknowledged that the letter has been thoroughly read, and all four of the suggestions have been duly noticed.

In response to the letter from AIBSNLEA (AIBSNEA/CHQ/REA-2014/2023 Dated 08.09.2023) on the Amendments to REA Rules 2014 for enhancing the MVP period from 3 years to 4 years and after listening to the submissions of AIBSNLEA , CMD BSNL categorically voiced that the 4 year period will not be implemented now and will be considered in the 4th MVP only.

We have submitted to the CMD of BSNL regarding the delay in promotions, particularly in cases of employees moving from SDE to AGM, PA to PS, PS to PPS and others. It is important to note that these matters do not involve any ongoing court interventions.

We highlighted the growing resentment among our younger employees due to the non-availability of standard pay scales, E1+5 increments, and pay parity , 30% SAB . This issue is crucial in maintaining a motivated and content workforce.

Further, we have submitted the request for the issuance of a Presidential Order pertaining to officers who were recruited through Government of India (GOI) and Department of Telecommunications (DOT) notifications/vacancies prior to 1.10.2000 and subsequently joined as Telecom Technical Assistants (TTAs) after the formation of BSNL. We requested to include these officers under the pension benefits as per the Central Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 1972. This adjustment would provide much-needed security and assurance to this group of employees.

We trust that these matters will receive the attention and consideration they deserve. Resolving these issues would not only benefit our dedicated workforce but also contribute to the overall well-being and stability of our BSNL.

The meeting completed on a very positive note.

Despite the multiple challenges we faced during the 3rd Membership Verification Process, it’s undeniable that AIBSNLEA exhibited its very best  performance and for that, we should all be proud.

Despite the disheartening campaign carried out by the other two Associations against AIBSNLEA, which included the spread of numerous rumours and false allegations against AIBSNLEA, terrifying AIBSNLEA members to join them, one undeniable source of strength emerged: the unwavering support of all who cast their votes in favour of AIBSNLEA.

AIBSNLEA CHQ extend our heartfelt congratulations to each and every member & supporters who stood resolutely with AIBSNLEA. You all are, without a doubt, our true Ambassadors.

Please find motivation in the knowledge that we are committed to ensuring the utmost comfort and well-being of all our members and supporters. Your trust in AIBSNLEA is not taken lightly, and we pledge to continue working tirelessly on your behalf.

Let us now shift our focus to resolve the pending HR issues one by one.

Also, let us share our best wishes to the won Association.

AIBSNLEA CHQ wishes to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering efforts and exceptional performance.

Together, we will keep the spirit of AIBSNLEA alive and thriving.

Jai AIBSNLEA!
Warm regards,
GS AIBSNLEA              << 3rd MVP Result Announced on 14-09-2023>>

As per the letter in reference, comments on the "Recognition Period of the Representative Associations of BSNL REA Rules 2014" were solicited from only two Associations, earlier MA and SA, during the period of the 3rd MVP. This approach, in our view, neglects the voices of the other representative associations that represent a significant portion of the executive community. Moreover, we understand that all participatory associations in the MVP are considered equal after the MVP is declared. Therefore, we propose that all constituent representative Associations that participated in the 3rd MVP shall be given an opportunity to share their views before any amendments are made to the REA Rules 2014. We firmly believe that a diverse range of perspectives can lead to better decisions, and sometimes even hearing unconventional ideas can pave the way for innovative solutions.

Initially, the recognition period for the MA/SA under the REA Rules 2014 was set at 2 years and later extended to 3 years. We have learned from the recent correspondence in the letter in reference that BSNL Management has plans to further extend this period to 4 years. In the same process, BSNL management may further enhance this period to 5 years at par with the general assembly elections. In democratic systems, political parties securing 2-3% of votes with a single MLA or MP have ample opportunities in the dialogue process to devise new policies and modifications to existing policies by expressing their valuable viewpoints. On the contrary, as per REA Rules 2014, BSNL Management will listen only to MA who secure 35% of votes or above, neglecting the views of all the other participant associations who secure the lion's share of 65% of votes. This is a rigid dichotomy between democracy outside of BSNL and that inside BSNL implemented through REA Rules. In this context, any unilateral move to enhance the recognition period may be unacceptable for the majority of BSNL Executives as their voice will be unheard for a long period of 4 years.

As per REA Rules 2014, only MA is permitted to have agenda meetings with BSNL Management, while SA may have limited opportunities at the mercy of management. This concept neglects the viewpoints of the remaining associations representing a significant portion of BSNL executives, or rather, the other participatory associations who are representing the lion's share of executives are blocked from submitting their views to BSNL management. This concept may be modified due to the fact that even if the MA represents 51% of Executives, how can management neglect the viewpoints of 49% of executives? In this background, any proposal for increasing the recognition period alone to 4 years will be highly detrimental to the future of BSNL and its executives unless the following points are considered:

In light of the above concerns, we urge your kind authority to consider the following points as well if any modifications to REA Rules 2014 are in the pipeline:

1. In the case of "Recognition Rule 2012" for Unions in BSNL, limited trade union facilities are extended to any Union securing a minimum of 2% votes at all India Level. The same treatment of limited trade union facilities shall be extended to any Association securing a minimum of 2% votes at all India Level. Otherwise, a negative feeling among executives will be brewing up in their minds that BSNL management is uncaring about the views of executives at par with those of non-executives. The intellect of executives shall also be seen as at least as good as that of non-Executives. As you are well aware, the whole BSNL is being steered ahead by Executives, turning down the feelings of executives compared to those of non-executives won’t be better for the early turnaround of BSNL to its pristine glory.

Hence, once again, we emphasize that the same treatment of limited trade union facilities extended to Unions in BSNL shall be extended to any Association securing a minimum of 2% votes at all India Level.

2. Since association activities are permitted at the Branch, Circle, CHQ levels of BSNL, after MVP, the Association that secures majority votes/2nd Majority votes at Branch, Circle levels shall be additionally recognized as MA/SA at Branch, Circle levels and the same trade union facilities shall be granted at Branch, Circle levels in addition to the Association who secured MA/SA status at CHQ Level. As your kind sagacity is well aware, there is vivid geographical, cultural and demographic diversity prevailing all across our "Bharat". Hence, the diversified demographic verdict of Executives at BA, Circle levels may not be ignored. By ignoring the verdict of BA, Circle levels by forcefully enforcing Another Association alone as MA/SA at BA, Circle levels against the wishes of the Executives will not be healthy for the wellbeing of BSNL and its executives.

Hence, once again we emphasize that the Association secure majority votes/2nd Majority votes at Branch, Circle levels shall be additionally recognized as MA/SA at Branch, Circle levels and the same trade union facilities shall be granted at Branch, Circle levels in addition to the Association that secured MA/SA status at CHQ Level.
