degree holders in the court and stay order has been granted. The case is pending in Hon’ble PB CAT New Delhi and CAT Ahmedabad. We are further requesting management to implement committee report to consider 50%-50% EE(C/E) posts shared by the Degree and Diploma holder SDEs(C/E). 2. 30% Superannuation benefits to directly recruited employees as per DPE guidelines: We requested CMD BSNL and Director (HR/Finance) to resolve superannuation benefits to directly recruited employees as per DPE guidelines and BSNL should contribute 12% as Superannuation Benefits in respect of Direct Recruits to fulfill the limit of 30% contribution. The remuneration committee of BSNL Board has recommended starting a superannuation benefit trust to directly recruited BSNL employees with a contribution of 3% initially and further it can be reviewed on the basis of financial health of the company which has been approved by the BSNL Board and now the proposal pending in DoT for approval. 3. Scrapping of MTRRs: AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA consistent effort yielded results in getting deferred MT Exam - 2015 but some executives associations and non - executives Unions are continuously making efforts for MT recruitment. Our considered opinion is that since the CPSU Cadre hierarchy for non - post based promotions up to JAG selection grade is under discussion in Committee, the MTRRs has no relevance. BSNL Management has to scrap the MTRRs. After giving Organizational Actions program by the United Forum of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA and on the intervention of CMD BSNL it is decided that the issue of scrapping of MT RRs shall be dealt after the membership verification/referendum process of the Executive Associations and the view of the majority association shall be taken into consideration. Till that time MT recruitment shall be kept on hold. 4. Scrapping of DGM RRs: The qualified and experienced Executives in BSNL having 10 to 20 years of service should also get an opportunity to compete with others for the DGM posts by making appropriate, justified and rational changes in the eligibility conditions. This would mark the beginning of allowing BSNL to have a management structure of its own at DGM level which by virtue of age profile will be groomed into senior management in due course of time. This strategic move will not only meet the career growth of aspiring talented executives in BSNL but will immensely contribute towards growth and viability of BSNL. However, in the recently held DGM Recruitment it does not happen and the internal candidates however allowed to write the examination but their result is not declared treating them not-eligible. After giving Organizational Actions program by the United Forum of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA and on the intervention of CMD BSNL, it has been decided to scrap the DGM RRs. The process for scrapping the ongoing recruitment shall be dealt by a committee constituted for the purpose. The Committee will submit the report by 15th June 2016 and the subsequent action for scrapping the Recruitment was to be taken by 30th June 2016 but no action is yet taken. 5. New SDE RR-2014: BSNL Management Committee has approved the new SDE RR 2014 , the BSNL Board approval is awaited. 6. Diversion of 50% MT quota CAO Posts to the seniority quota: After giving Organizational Actions program by the United Forum of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA and on the intervention of CMD BSNL, it was informed that efforts were made to withdraw the matter from BSNL Board and to settle at par with Telecom Operations stream but BSNL Board has not agreed since it is need modifications in BSNL MSRRs. Hence, the matter has to be further submitted in the next BSNL Board meeting for consideration. 7. CPCs to fill up the vacant HAG, SAG, JAG, STS Group ‘A’ & Group ‘B’ Grade posts in BSNL on adhoc / Regular basis: i. Telecom Operations: (a) JTO (T) to SDE (T) CPC against seniority cum fitness quota (67%): The Court case regarding JTO to SDE promotions in the Hon’ble CAT Bench Chandigarh came for hearing on 31st March 2016 and dismissed.
