GS Writes to the CMD , BSNL on creation of the
Trust/Fund for Post Retirement Medical Benefit for the
Direct Recruits Employees of BSNL.
Sir, it seems separate PRMB Trust/Fund is not in
existence like BSNL Superannuation Trust, BSNL Gratuity
Trust. This is a serious question in the minds of BSNL
Recruits that how their family will get Medical benefits
after VRS, Retirement, Deceased etc., in this pathetic
financial condition of the Company as well as in this
pandemic situation......
27.06.2022Details of the Agenda Meeting of AIBSNLEA with DIR (HR) the
22nd June 2022 Follow…
2. AO to CAO
Promotions :AIBSNLEA requested DIR(HR)
BSNL for the early promotion of AO to CAO . AIBSNLEA
also requested to hold the CPC for all eligible AOs by
extending relaxation for all eligible AOs as on
01-01-2022. There is an acute shortage in the Cadre of
CAOs .Presently only 47 CAOs are working across the
Country in BSNL against the Sanctioned Strength of 672
posts. We further requested the Dir (HR) that the JAOs
appointed since 1996 viz JAO 1996 Batch , JAO 1999
Batch , JAO 2004 Batch etc., / Promoted as AOs in the
Year 2008, 2009 and 2015 may be considered for CAO
promotion with relaxation wherever required as on
01-01-2022 . We further brought to the kind attention of
the Dir (HR) JAO 1996 Batch Executives are waiting for
their CAO promotion for the past 26 years.
DIR(HR) appreciated
our concern and expressed his hope that the
“Status Quo” from CAT
Chandigarh can be lifted without delay and consequently
the much delayed AO to CAO promotion orders can
be released
It is also saddened
and deeply regretted to mention here that this long
pending AO to CAO Promotion is solely taken by AIBSNLEA
only. No other Association could so far include this
issue of AO to CAO Promotion issue in their Agenda
meeting with the Management. AIBSNLEA cannot forget the
matters of any Executive Community of
Telecom/ Accounts/ Civil/ Electrical/ CSS/ CSSS- including
PA, PS, PPS & Sr PPS/TF/Architecture .
3&4. E1+5 Increments and E2-E3 Standard Pay Scales:
AIBSNLEA strongly pleaded for the settlement of 2nd
PRC residues in BSNL , the Standard Pay Scales E2&E3 ,
30% SAB , the pending grant of E1+ 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
etc .
AIBSNLEA appreciated
BSNL Management for taking up all the matters with DOT
due to continuous and consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA
and other Associations. However, as long as the genuine
demands are not at all materialized for the benefits of
BSNL Executives , it would be very much demotivating the
Executives. We pleaded with the Dir(HR) that BSNL is
EBIDTA positive for the last three consecutive Financial
Years and hence these genuine demands can be taken up
again for the final favorable settlement on behalf of
the BSNL Executives .
DIR(HR) patiently
listened to all our requests and commended that E1+5
increments and the Standard Pay Scales of BSNL
Executives are the closed Chapters , as of now . This is
heavily shocking and de-motivating especially to the
young executives in BSNL.
AIBSNLEA strongly
protested and informed the DIR (HR) that, for AIBSNLEA
these issues are not closed doors though for DOT these
may be closed Chapters. GS AIBSNLEA has written to CMD
for considering E1+ 5 increments
5. Huge reduction/cut
Accounts Officers’ Sanctioned strength in Chennai TD and
Kolkatta TD after BSNL Restructuring:
AIBSNLEA requested for the enhancement of the Sanctioned
strength of Executives in Accounts Cadre as proposed by
the concerned CGMTs in CHTD and Kol TD . We pleaded for
the enhancement of Sanctioned Posts of Accounts
Executives in these Circles as the Circles are
Performing Financially(earning Higher Revenue i.e more
than 250 Cr.) at par with Major Circles
DGM F: 7(As Proposed) against 3(Sanctioned),
CAO: 23(As Proposed) 7(sanctioned) ,
AO/JAO : 80 /83 (As Proposed) and
AO/JAO: CHTD-46(Sanctioned) & Kol TD -44 (Sanctioned) .
DIR(HR) mentioned that the Management is analyzing and
reviewing the situations once again and the Strength of
the Executives in Chennai TD and Kolkata TD would be
enhanced as requested by AIBSNLEA. AIBSNLEA extended
since thanks to the DIR(HR)
6. Merger of NATFM with ALTTC and the bad fate of Accounts Officers
shifted without extending Options.
AIBSNLEA submitted the bad fate of Executives of
Accounts Vertical in NATFM, Hyderabad. Along with the
merger of NATFM Hyderabad to ALTTC , Ghaziabad , the
Executives have also been transferred from Hyderabad to
ALTTC Ghaziabad without extending the chance to exercise
Options for Circles/BAs to get their transfer ,
whereas options were called from Executives working in
RTTC Rajpura /Jaipur /Lucknow for their posting in
Territorial Circle when those Training Centers have been
closed . This is an embarrassing situation for the
Executives in NATFM. DIR (HR) assured to take remedial
actions in favor of the transferred Executives to ALTTC.
AIBSNLEA extended since thanks to DIR(HR)
7&8. PA-PS and PS to PPS pending Promotions & Promotion of
Civil/Electrical/TF etc :
AIBSNLEA requested to issue Pending Promotion orders in
all other Verticals of PA-PS , PS to PPS, PPS to Sr
PPS and in Civil/Electrical/TF etc . DIR (HR) informed
that PA-PS promotion orders are being released and PS to
PPS will be processed . GS AIBSNLEA submitted request
letters for the promotions in PA to PS and PS to PPS .
DIR(HR) mentioned that Promotions in Civil and
Electrical wings are under process
9.
Effective Mode of Training in Training Centers.
AIBSNLEA appreciated BSNL Management in arranging
training for Executives on Company cost for their
Financial upgradation. However, the present ways of
OnLine training of some Training Centers for Executives
during office timing is neither effective for Executives
nor beneficial to BSNL ultimately. In between Online
training Executives are to complete multiple office
duties including attending phone calls would naturally
defeat the very purpose of On-Line training. Instead,
the videos of training stuff may be arranged in Servers
centrally and Executives may be permitted to undergo
training On-Line from Home /Office after permitting Duty
Off . For the identification and authentication of
Executives, OTP may be sent on the Service numbers of
Executives.
DIR (HR)
appreciated the AIBSNLEA’s suggestions in this regard
and mentioned to give a detailed letter.
10. Victimized transfer
of DS Ludhiana Com. Rajender Singh, AD (OL) to Patiala
by then GM Ludhiana: AIBSNLEA discussed the matter in detail
with the DIR (HR) . After the discussion AIBSNLEA
requested the DIR (HR) to call a detailed report on
this topic from CGMT Punjab . DIR (HR) assured to look
into the matter.
11.CGMT may be Posted
in Odisha and PGMT to Bhuvneshwar BA : AIBSNLEA
requested to post CGMT in Odisha and PGMT to Bhuvneshwar
BA as in all the Meetings of AIBSNLEA , Odisha Circle is
requesting to CHQ . DIR (HR) appreciated our concern and
mentioned that the Sr.Officers would be posted after
merger of BBNL with BSNL as BSNL faces shortage of
Sr.Officers , as of now.
Many matters
affected with our members have also been discussed in
detail with DIR(HR) . The meeting lasted for an hour and
DIR(HR) appreciated AIBSNLEA in taking up matters with
the Management in a convincing manner.

LDCE JAOs of 2016 batche and LDCE JTOs of 2016 & 2017

It is constrained to bring your kind notice that in
the meeting of this association held with DIR (HR), it
is told that E1+5 increment in BSNL is a dead topic like
E2-E3 Standard Pay Scales , is heavily shocking and
de-motivating especially to the young executives in BSNL
.
Due consistant and
continuous efforts of AIBSNLEA , BSNL Board approved
the grant of 5(five) advance increments on the minimum
of the revised E1 pay scale of Rs. 16400-40500 to the
directly recruited JTOs of 2007 and 2008 batch and
directly recruited JAOs in respect of whom result
declared in 2010 have been ordered to be fixed at
Rs.19020/- vide the above cited reference at (1&2) and
subsequently BSNL Board approved the same for JAO 2010
LICE batch (both 10% Quota & 40% Quota) vide the above
cited reference at (3) i.e., the pay of such JAOS has
been fixed in the revised E1 pay scale of Rs.
16400-40500/- by granting one notional increment @ 3% of
their existing pay in the feeder grade or at Rs. 19020/-
by way of granting five advance increments on the
minimum of the revised E1 scale, whichever is higher

23.06.2022
Today, AIBSNLEA CHQ Leaders met their Sr.
Counsel and discussed regarding the arbitrary order
issued by DoT dated 30.03.2022 to implement the DoT
order dated 05.07.2017 (Rescinding of an additional
increment granted to BSNL Executives on functional
promotion) which is against Hon’ble PB CAT New Delhi
order dated 21.12.2017 and it is contempt of Court. Now
the case is re-notified for further hearing on
31.08.2022 in the Hon’ble High Court, Delhi and AIBSNLEA
decided to issue “Legal Notice” to DoT and Counter
Affidavit in the Honb’le High Court, Delhi through our
Sr. Counsel.
Brief History of the Case:
Withdrawal of Additional Increment in the
same Scale on Functional Promotion under EPP:DoT
vide its letter dated 05.07.2017 withdraw additional
Increment in the same Scale on Functional Promotion
under EPP. Against this, AIBSNLEA immediately file an OA
in the Hon’ble PB CAT New Delhi for quashing the order.
Accordingly, Hon’ble PB CAT after some hearings quashed
& set aside the said order of DoT dated 05.07.2017. Even
after that DoT continued to reduce the pension of the
BSNL retiree executives, against this AIBSNLEA filed a
Contempt Petition in the Hon’ble PB CAT New Delhi.
Thereafter DoT stopped reducing the Pension/revising the
Pay fixation by obtaining an undertaking from the
retiring executives;
DoT
has filed Writ Petition in the Hon’ble High Court of
Delhi wherein AIBSNLEA has filed a Caveat. The case was
heard on 12.09.2019 and Hon’ble High Court of Delhi
directed DoT and BSNL to sit together & take a decision
in this regard before 30th September, 2019. Pursuant to
the orders of the Hon’ble High Court Delhi, BSNL
Management invited GS, AIBSNLEA for the meeting to be
held on 30.09.2019 at 11.30 hrs in the Chamber of PGM (Pers),
BSNL CO, New Delhi in the capacity of the Prime Litigant
in this case. Accordingly the former GS Com. S.Sivakumar
and former AGS(Fin) Com. Rajpal attended the meeting and
submitted AIBSNLEA views during the meeting:
In view of the foregoing, the DOT letter
dated 05.07.2017 is not at all legally as well as
ethically justified at a later stage. Its retention
would create trust deficit between the BSNL employees
and the Central Govt./DoT which is also unwarranted.
With reference to AIBSNLEA claim, BSNL Management in its
letter dated 03.08.2017 has also urged the Central Govt.
not to rescind the Para I-II (v) of Executive Promotion
Policy (EPP). AIBSNLEA Leaders requested to kindly
consider AIBSNLEA views in the meeting held on
30.09.2019 between representative officers of DoT & BSNL
and render justice by withdrawing the impugned order of
DoT dated 05.07.2017 and the case is listed for next
Hearing on 10th Feb’2020.
But DoT requested further time in the
Honb’le High Court, Delhi on 10.02.2020 and it was
listed again on 19.05.2020. Due to Covid situation it
was not heard and further postponed to 28.03.2022.
In the mean time DoT directed BSNL on
07.02.2020, to withdraw the additional increment as per
the DoT order dated 05.07.2017 which was quashed by
Hon’ble PB CAT New Delhi on 21.12.2017 and pending with
the Honb’le High Court, Delhi. As per the suggestions of
AIBSNLEA in the meeting held on 30.09.2019, BSNL
Management again written a letter to the
Secretary(Telecom) on 22.07.2021 requesting to withdraw
the DoT order dated 5.7.2017. But surprisingly DoT vide
its letter dated 30.03.2022 once again directed to
implement the order dated 05.07.2017 which is against
Hon’ble PB CAT New Delhi order dated 21.12.2017 and it
is contempt of Court.
Now the case is re-notified for further
hearing on 31.08.2022. AIBSNLEA CHQ leaders met with
their Counsel and are going to issue “Legal Notice” to
DoT, file the Application and Counter Affidavit in the
Honb’le High Court, Delhi through our Sr. Counsel.
AIBSNLEA is the only Association taken up
the very prestigious case wherein all Executives both
absorbed in BSNL and directly recruited by BSNL are
affected financially, especially during Pension
Calculation on Superannuation.

GS AIBSNLEA Com Shaji . V, CHQ President AIBSNLEA Com .
Raj Pal Sharma and Auditor CHQ Com.Slathia met the
Director HR and discussed the Agenda items. The meeting
lasted for more than one hour . DIR HR BSNL Board Shri
Aravind Vadnerkar was very much open and discussed on
each and every point of our Agenda.
(1) SDE to AGM Promotions:
AIBSNLEA requested to release the much awaited and long
Pending SDE(T) to AGM(T) Promotions in single go without
hitting any legal hurdles by considering Promotion for
the whole eligible SDEs in the SDE Seniority List No. 8 to 13. But, DIR HR was just annoyed with AIBSNLEA
that only AIBSNLEA is pressurizing the Management for
the Seniority List No. 8 to 13 promotion orders in all
meetings ,through whatsapp and through Letters that BSNL
Management must consider all the eligible Executives are
to be promoted. No other Associations are exerting
pressure like AIBSNLEA exerting on Management. AIBSNLEA
replied to DIR HR that the legacy of AIBSNLEA will not
permit our association for the piece meal business of
partial promotions since AIBSNLEA represents all the
Executives in all pockets . All the eligible officers
are to be promoted for the better going of BSNL as this
is a crucial time of BSNL wherein BSNL Management has to
consider the young bloods of BSNL more for the survival
of BSNL. We further
reiterated that the whole eligible SDE(T)s in the SDE
Seniority List No. 8 to 13 should be considered for
AGM(T) Promotion within a month after getting Legal
Opinion from the Senior Advocate as agreed by the DIR HR
in the meeting of the JF of Associations, i.e., AIBSNLEA
, AIGETOA and SNEA held on 31-12-21.
However DIR HR opined that as per the Management
perspective, we can give promotions to only available
vacancies. AIBSNLEA strongly protested against it and
exerted pressure on DIR HR that, if you are giving
Promotions for SDEs, please give promotions to all
eligible candidates who are completed the eligible 7
years of service in SDE cadre as an one time measure.
DIR HR shared and appreciated the views of AIBSNLEA and mentioned
that until and unless One particular Welfare Association
give written commitment , Management cannot process any
promotions till the finalization of the Jarnail Singh &
Ors. Appellant (s) Versus Lachhmi Narain Gupta & Ors.
Respondent (s) in the Hon’ble SC of India. DIR HR
further mentioned that the promotion orders will be
issued only for 2100 existing vacancies. AIBSNLEA expressed our strong resentment that as an onetime
measure and as a special case Management may consider
all eligible SDEs up to Seniority List No13 as assured
by the Director HR in the meeting of JF of Association
i.e., AIBSNLEA , AIGETOA and SNEA held on 31-12-21
.DIR HR repeatedly appreciated the stand of AIBSNLEA that all
eligible candidates are to be promoted.
Finally DIR HR affirmed that until and unless management
gets the consent signature of one Welfare Association ,
Management cannot go ahead with SDE to AGM (T)
promotions that too only for 2100 vacancies .

14.06.2022
Meeting with PGM (Pers.) BSNL CO, New
Delhi:
Com. Shaji. V, GS AIBSNLEA joined in
Corporate Office New Delhi today and met with PGM (Pers.)
along with President CHQ Com. Rajpal Sharma.
At the outset we appreciated and thanked
PGM (Pers.) for calling VCs for the long awaited
promotion from SDE(T) to DE(T)/AGM(T) and discussed
regarding:
A) Promotion from SDE(T) to DE(T)/AGM(T): We
enquired PGM (Pers)about
the latest status of the Promotion process in SDE(T) to
AGM(T). PGM (Pers) mentioned that the promotion process
is started and expressed his confidence that the
promotion orders would be released as generally
expected. We have submitted the earlier view of AIBSNLEA
that all eligible SDE(T)s who have completed the
qualifying service of 7 years may be considered for the
AGM(T) promotions to avoid displeasure among the
youngsters. PGM(Pers) appreciated our concern and shared
our views that all eligible executives have to be
promoted without any prejudice and legal complicity.
We further submitted that some websites
claiming that the BSNL Management is getting readied for
SDET to AGMT promotion after engaging a written
agreement with them. We expressed our apprehension that
if it is for avoiding further litigation, how does the
so called written agreement will prevent any affected
executive from approaching Court of Law against any
anomaly, if arises any, instead we submitted our views
that all eligible SDEs may be promoted in a single go so
that no future legal hurdle would be there.
PGM (Pers.) mentioned that we are trying
our level best to execute the promotion orders without
any legal complexities. We once again requested to
release the promotion orders without any more delay
since it is already delayed right from the
implementation of VRS 2019. PGM (Pers) assured to do his
level best for the same.
B) Promotion from AO to CAO:
We submitted to PGM(Pers) that the AO to
CAO promotion is a very big sensitive matter now among
the executives in accounts vertical after calling the
VCs for SDE(T) to AGM(T) promotions. This Association
has been continuously getting the appraisal from the
members of Accounts fraternity that the AO to CAO
promotion has struck unfortunately since 2018 in the
Court of Law after calling “Status Quo” from CAT
Chandigarh. Though Management continuously trying to
vacate the “Status Quo”, nothing has fruitfully happened
has annoyed the members. This is a great concern for
AIBSNLEA and hence much more sincere efforts are
expected from BSNL Management to release the AO to CAO
promotion immediately is quite natural. This delay very
badly affected the working morale of the affected
Accounts Officers since the very unlucky turn in their
carrier happened in 2018 after the issuance of the AO to
CAO promotion and consequential “Status Quo” called for
by Hon’ble Court resulted some of the AOs could not join
on their CAO posts but some juniors to them had
fortunately joined as CAO before the “Status Quo” is
called. The unluckily seniors faced handicap in joining
their CAO posts due to “Status Quo” called. In turn, now
the AOs who are Seniors but AOs even now and falling
four years less CAO service compared to their juniors
when counted for next CAO to DGM(F) promotion. This is a
very big anomaly in the History of the BSNL. We added
that, there is an acute shortage in the Cadre of CAO and
presently only 47 CAOs are working across the Country in
BSNL against the Sanctioned Strength of 672 posts. It
may be noted that the JAOs appointed since 1996 onwards
are waiting for their due CAO promotion for the past 26
years. The eligible executives for CAO promotion are
very less, hence in the interest of the BSNL and manning
the CAOs/IFAs positions in the Business Areas and Circle
HQs in an efficient manner necessary relaxation for 15
days may also be considered sympathetically for the
promotions from AO to CAO in BSNL.
PGM (Pers) totally shared our concern
empathetically and informed that Management is doing
their level best to vacate the “Status Quo” from the
Hon’ble CAT Chandigarh by engaging ASG , the highest
level legal counsel representing BSNL & filed an MA
resulted the Hon’ble Court caused to issue Notices to
the related parties. AIBSNLEA appreciated PGM (Pers) in
understanding the case in detail and on giving the
latest development on the long pending AO to CAO
promotions. Still then, AIBSNLEA requested PGM(Pers) to
start preparatory work for the promotion by calling APAR
& VCs and convened the DPC. After a pause, PGM(Pers)
replied that he could perceive the heat in the feeling
of AIBSNLEA in the undue delay of AO to CAO promotions,
but calling of any APAR and VCs could delay the
promotion process on further litigation as the Court of
Law has called ‘Status Quo’ in CAO promotion. PGM (pers)
assured once again that Management will take extra
efforts to get vacate the unfortunate hurdle in AO to
CAO promotion and BSNL will be able to issue AO to CAO
promotion also very soon.
AIBSNLEA submitted the fresh request for
the AO to CAO promotion addressed to the CMD BSNL and
asked for the simultaneous promotions for all the Cadres
and Streams.
C)
Promotion of executives in all other Cadres:
We requested to issue the pending
promotion orders in all other Cadres than
Telecom/Accounts viz: Civil, Elect, TF, Arch., PS, CSS/CSSS
etc. PGM (Pers) mentioned that recently there is a Stay
order got by some executives belongs to Civil wing on
seniority issue against the SDE(C) to EE(C) promotions.
Management is very much keen to give the promotions for
all Cadres but such type of hurdles will badly delay the
process of promotions.

Meeting with CMD BSNL
GS
Com. Shaji . V , President CHQ Com. Rajpal Sharma &
Auditor CHQ Com. R.S.Slathia met the CMD BSNL Shri.
Pravin Kumar Purwar ji on 19.05.2022.
Res.
CMD kindly consented to have a very open and
detailed
discussion on all the
issues raised by AIBSNLEA
pertaining to BSNL HR and Service
matters.
The discussions longed for an hour.
We have discussed regarding:
AIBSNLEA opened discussion seeking the
possibility of EBITDA positive of BSNL for the 3rd
consecutive year too. CMD responded enthusiastically
that it is assured from available data that BSNL heading
for EBITDA positive and the final figure on it would be
available soon after the readiness of audited data for
the FY 2021-22. AIBSNLEA extended sincere appreciation
to CMD for his team work in attaining the EBITDA
positive performance consecutively.
AIBSNLEA sought the progress of approval
and availability of 2nd revival package
from Govt. of India for
BSNL worth around Rs.1.60
lakhs Crore. CMD Sir
shared his very optimistic view on the availability of
the package as DOT initiated the proposal for the
all-around revamp of BSNL. However, we have to wait for
the final outcome of the proposal.
Induction of 4G in BSNL:The
CMD BSNL is very much hopeful of launching of 4G
Services in BSNL without much delay. But, as of now, a
couple of issues are there even though Placing of Post
POC for 6K sites for BSNL has been done to TCS. The
commercial viability of TCS on the lone BSNL’s 4G
project with limited POC, unavailability of ICs and the
heavy price shoot-up on ICs are the teething issues on
the early 4G induction to BSNL. The CMD BSNL is very
hopeful on settling down the issues shortly.
AIBSNLEA shared the point that Pvt.
Operators
took around an year of time to stabilize their 4G
network before the commercial launching of their 4G and
BSNL also to be travelled the path for some time after
installation of 4G system to stabilise before the
commercial launching of BSNL’s 4G . CMD patiently
listened our submissions and added that BSNL can
commercially launch 4G in 2023 in a full-fledged manner.
CMD mentioned that the enhancement of existing PP & BTY
are also there as part of 4G implementation.
Installation
of BSNL’s own Pole System for the survival of BSNL’s
Services/ Business in future at par with R-JIO and Other
Data Service Providers including State Government
Sponsored Data Services
, as part of 2nd Revival Package of BSNL :
CMD appreciated
our concern &
suggestions
and mentioned on the limitation of having such a big
chunk of investment. On this limitation, CMD shared the
thinking of having an MOU with State Electricity
Departments/Boards for utilising their pole system for
tagging our overhead cable system on payment basis.
Request for providing sufficient number of finance
executives in Chennai and Kolkata metro districts as per
the revised manpower norms.
AIBSNLEA requested for the enhancement of the strength
of executives in accounts cadre as proposed by the
concerned CGMTs ;
DGM F: 7(As Proposed) against 3(Sanctioned),
CAO: 23(As Proposed) 7(sanctioned) ,
AO/JAO : 80 /83 (As Proposed) and
AO/JAO: CHTD-46(sanctioned) & Kol TD -44 (sanctioned) .
CMD shared his detailed views on the request of
AIBSNLEA . We once again requested for enhancing the
executives’ strength in Finance based on the volume of
business carried out in Chennai TD and Kolkata TD.
30 % SAB for BSNL DRs & early finalization of the Long
Pending and Most Rewarding Standard Pay Scale E2 for JTO/JAO
equivalent and E3 for SDE/AO equivalent cadres:
AIBSNLEA has submitted its views on the issue of
Standard Pay Scales several times during the past 13
years. BSNL is an EBITDA Positive PSU for the last two
Financial Years and spending only around Rs.550 crores
for the monthly Salary expenditure and having a balance
Revenue of Rs.950 Crore per month for other
expenditures. AIBSNLEA firmly feels that this is a high
time for BSNL to implement the Standard Pay Scales of E2
& E3 for providing some relief so that Young BSNL
recruited Executives may get some sort of relaxation
against the heavy dearth in their eligible 30% SAB
benefits. We requested for the early finalisation of
full 30% SAB benefits for BSNL DRs.
CMD BSNL shared his views very elaborately on the
submission in a positives and motivating way
AIBSNLEA cannot compromise on the turning down of E2-E3
pay scales proposals for JTO-SDE equivalent cadres by
DOT and is endorsed in the Letter No. BSNL/7-1/SR/2022
dated 11.05.2022. Its quiet unfortunate and heavily
painful
For AIBSNLEA, the E2 & E3 pay scales & 30 % SAB are at
par with the fundamental/ birth right of BSNL executives
from their birth to BSNL. E2 & E3 pay scales are
eligible after the implementation of IDA Pay Scales in
BSNL from 01.01.2000 . We will earn it. The stand of
AIBSNLEA really resembles “Swaraj is my birth-right and
I shall have it!” …Roared Bal Gangadhar Tilak “
The senior officers in DOT are turning the proposals
down by swinging in tandem with their predecessors on
many matters, but they are favouring deep down their
heart to the standard pay scales for the young bloods
of BSNL.
Pending Regular Promotion in all
executive cadres:
We requested for regular promotion in all cadres in the
light of DOPT guidelines endorsed by DOT
& BSNL as well
with 15 days relaxation of eligibility as on 1-1-2022
may be considered for AO to CAO promotions and for SDE
to DE promotions the Seniority lists up to 13 may be
considered to have a smooth promotion from SDE to AGM.
Any kind of partial release of promotion orders may
invite further litigations as executives are little
frustrated to the delay in getting promotions.
CMD BSNL is in total favor of timely promotions. Any
kind of relaxation can also be permitted if proposed on
guidelines. The present unfortunate delay is caused by
the multiple legal interruptions and management is in a
process of sorting it out for the speedy release of
pending promotions.
AIBSNLEA CHQ extended sincere gratitude to CMD BSNL in
granting the meeting and having a detailed discussion on
all the points submitted to CMD. CMD responded that this
is a very crucial time for BSNL to have a hand in hand
working of Administration and
Associations
for the complete turnaround of BSNL. AIBSNLEA assured
the same to CMD BSNL.
19.05.2022
Meeting with Director (Finance) BSNL Board
GS Com. Shaji . V , President CHQ Com. Rajpal Sharma &
Auditor CHQ Com. R.S.Slathia met the DIR ( Finance)
Madam Yojana Das and discussed the Service/Financial and
HR matters-
Director (Finance) also shared the worthy news
that BSNL is heading for the EBITDA positive for the 3rd
consecutive year. On the second revival package to BSNL
amounts to Rs. 1.60 lakhs, Director (Finance) shared the
information that the proposal is going in the right
direction and expecting for positive outcome.
(1) Long Pending AO to CAO Promotions-
AIBSNLEA have submitted that presently around 49 CAOs
only working in BSNL against the Sanctioned Strength of
672 posts of CAOs and there is an acute shortage in the
Cadre of CAO as only less than 10% are working against
the reduced Sanctioned strength after VRS. It is
pertinent to mention here that the JAOs appointed since
1996 onwards are waiting for their due CAO promotion for
the past 26 years. The eligible executives for CAO
promotion as on 01-01-2022 are very less and BSNL needs
more CAOs as per vacancies available and hence a 15 days
relaxation may be granted to eligible AOs for filling up
all the vacancies to strengthen the Financial activities
of BSNL in the interest of the BSNL and manning the CAOs/IFAs
positions in the Business Areas and Circle HQs.
Director (Finance) was listened our submissions
patiently and responded very positively that madam is
sharing our concern. As and when the opportunity arises,
Director (Finance) assured that madam will use her
office favorably for the demand raised by AIBSNLEA as
the demand is very genuine.
2. Cancellation of JAOs Rule-9 transfer & relieving off
orders-
Keep in abeyance the orders regarding relieving of the
Executives from the Borrowing Circle(s) in Junior
Accounts Officer (JAO) Grade (working on Temporary
transfer basis under Rule-9 of transfer Policy) in the
interest of the Company and on BSNL Service Ground, on
prevailing Spouse joining and on Medical Grounds of
Self, Spouse & Parents as per BSNL Executive’s Transfer
Policy.
AIBSNLEA shared with Director (Finance) that some of the cases are considered and some
more eligible genuine cases are pending. AIBSNLEA CHQ
requested the Director (Finance) to use her good office
and retain all the 66 JAOs transferred & repatriated
under Rule-9 by Pers. Branch. Director (Finance)
responded positively and assured to look into the matter.
