Year and SWAS program. There is a dip in Revenue from
Operations (cash flow) from January 2017 onwards and our
business is coming down sharply due to demonetization and
Reliance JIOs Free Promotional Offering of Voice and Data.
Reliance JIOs Free Promotional Offering of Voice and Data
for 6 months is allowed by TDSAT and Govt of India is
predatory and clear violation of the Regulation and orders
of the TRAI. TRAI closes its eyes. Whether the same offer

India even in the extreme climatic conditions and natural
calamities. We are opposing VRS/CRS, unbundling of Copper
cable, 1 lakh Employees retrenchment, Attempt to sell the
Subsidiary Tower company to any Strategic partner and
demanded the Govt. to compensate the losses by allocation of
spectrum free of cost and to reimburse the ADC as per
Telecom Policy. While discussing the HR issues GS touched

BSNL recruits, CPSE cadre hierarchy, and timely completion
of CPCs in respect of all the cadres and 3rd PRC

the BSNL Management and employees loss of the Company has
been reduced. We have to make all out efforts to get maximum
revenue in the coming days by special focus on EB customers,
leased circuits, FTTH/ BB connections and mobile
connections.
CGM Smt. N.Poonguzhali Chief Guest in her address
congratulated the Vellore comrades for conducting the
Conference in a grand and excellent manner. She hoped that
after this Conference all the Executives will be boosted and
it will result in Revenue increase. Competition brings
opportunities but our hand and legs are tied. It is cut
throat competition. It is difficult to penetrate. We have to
ensure Quality of services to our customers. It will bring
more customers to our fold. During the Financial year our
Employees met more than 1,60,000 customers. Our strength is
Net Work and Manpower. It is proved during Vardha Cyclone
that BSNL is mighty and services were restored in a record
time and won appreciation from many quarters. There is a dip
in Cash flow of BSNL due Demonetization. We have
diversified our plans. 40 locations of BSNL earmarked for
Retail outlet of Oil companies. Our revenue is growing now.

22.02.2017: Refuting
SNEA's derogatory remarks about AIBSNLEA while reporting JTO
to SDE promotion case:Regarding
JTO to SDE promotion related case (OP CAT-45/2015 and
similar OP) in Hon. High Court of Kerala, SNEA(I) is simply
trying to misguide general members by giving false and
derogatory comments about AIBSNLEA while reporting news of
the court proceedings in their website.
Being an impleading respondent in OA filed in CAT and a
respondent in subsequent OP-CAT now pending in HC of Kerala,
AIBSNLEA filed our version (in support of BSNL, the main
respondent) in the appropriate courts at the appropriate
time. Our role, as in the case of all other impleading
respondents, was to support BSNL's stand which is correct
and legal as per various rules and procedures for fixation
of seniority of JTOs, preparation of eligibility list, and
several other related issues involved in this case. We did
this job through the advocate representing AIBSNLEA.
It is to be noted that AIBSNLEA is the only association
impleaded in this case in its own name in the capacity as an
association of executives, initially at the time of coming
this matter as an OA in the CAT Ernakulam and then became a
respondent in OP-CAT at High Court of Kerala when appeal was
filed by petitioners. The petitioners were a group of direct
recruited (DR) JTOs, but their contentions were not
acceptable as per rules. SNEA(I) is not a party in this case
as an association, though some of their affected members got
impleaded in this case.
AIBSNLEA was bold enough to appear as impleading party in
the case and expressed our stand openly in public as we have
nothing to hide. By impleading in the association's name, we
wanted to protect the justified and genuine interests of all
general members.
The other association was not concerned about this, but they
only wanted to play behind the screen, giving a space for
twisting their stand between DR JTOs and JTOs recruited
during 1996 to 2000, according to their will and wish.
Initially they played "a hide and seek game" and did not
became an impleading respondent, as they wanted favors from
both sides in view of referendum. In fact they have no right
to comment on AIBSNEA in this regard as they are not at all
a party in the party-array of this case. Honorable members
are requested to realize the cheap politics now being played
by that association with an ill-motive of defaming this
organization.

met CMD BSNL and discussed regarding filling up of vacant
posts of DEs/CAOs & DGMs. We requested that about 2000 DEs
posts, 1000 CAOs posts and about 400 DGM(Engg.) & 100 posts
of DGM(Fin.) are vacant. Similarly, about 160 EEs(Civil)
posts are also vacant but the vacant posts of DEs/CAOs/EEs(Civil)
are not being filled up on the pretext of pending court
cases. From DE to DGM, CAO to DGM(Fin.) no court case is
pending hence all these posts should be filled up
immediately to meet the requirement of field units & to
remove the stagnation in the career prospective of Group-'B'
level executives. CMD appreciated our concern and assured to
discuss the matter with Director(HR) for an early action.
We also
requested for the implementation of 3rd PRC report with full
fitment benefit in BSNL. CMD assured to look into the
matter.
It is
understood that BSNL is submitting its feedback to DoT on
3rd PRC recommendations by tomorrow wherein BSNL is trying
to provide 15% fitment benefit (highest fitment benefit) to
BSNL executives on implementation of 3rd PRC.

Hon'ble High Court reserved the case for pronouncing
judgment.
One Association's Advocate wanted to remand to case to be heard again
in the Hon'ble CAT Ernakulam but BSNL's Sr. Advocate Sh. R.D.
Aggarawalla opposed of remanding the case in view of further
delay the case. He pleaded that there is acute stagnation in
the career progression of JTOs and in BSNL field units the
work is suffering due to the shortage of SDEs/SDOs. Hon'ble
High Court appreciated the pleading and the case could be
saved from remanding further to Hon'ble CAT Ernakulam.

GS met with GM

recommendations with reference to BSNL. GM (SR) informed
that after the presentation given by DoT to the Group of
Secretaries meeting held on 02.02.2017 wherein DoT has been
advised to submit the financial position of the PSUs under
the control of DoT. Accordingly, DoT has asked the feedback

It is
understood that as per 3rd PRC interim report, if a PSU has
20 % liability of PBT on account of 3rd PRC implementation
it may give 15% fitment, PSU having 30% liability of PBT on
account of 3rd PRC implementation may give 10% fitment and
PSU having 40% liability of PBT on account of 3rd PRC
implementation may give 5% fitment benefit. At present

In view of that we have pleaded 3rd

Delay in settlement of
genuine HR issues causing frustration among the executives:AIBSNLEA
have been trying for the settlement of long pending HR
issues in the several formal/informal meetings with the BSNL
management but even after the written assurances given, none
of the pressing issue has been settled till date. It has
caused serious frustration among the executives . One JTO
recruited in the year 1995 and having completed 21 years of
service in one cadre, one SDE of year 2000 have completed 16
years' service as SDE is waiting his second promotion to the
post of DE. Similar is the situation in
civil/Electrical/Arch/Telecom Factory, Engineering wings and
Accounts & Finance wing of BSNL. All these promotions stuck
on the pretext of pending Court cases. But these cases were
never defended by BSNL seriously in the court which
resulted stalling the CPCs and stagnation in the career of
executives. The fact remains that wherever the management
is serious the early settlement of the court case wherever
they take serious efforts and get immediate dispose off the
case. But our court cases are being handled in a routine
manner. In view of the growing frustration, BSNL management
should defend all pending court cases with upmost priority
and seriousness. Similar is the situation wherein all other
HR issues lying unsettled ie. E-2,E-3 standard pay scales to
JTO/SDE equivalent executives, CPSU cadre hierarchy
implementation, First Time Bound promotion on 4 years of
service in all cases,Rs.22820/- pay fixation to all the JTOs/JAOs,
recruited post 2007, 30% superannuation benefit with 12%
contribution from BSNL w.e.f 1.1.2007, posting of LDCE
qualified JTO to SDEs, restructuring of AD(O/L) cadre, PPS
post creation with all PGMs, E1+5 advance increments to
JTO(SRD), JAO-2013 batch and PA cadre, E-5 to E-6 grade
promotion to DGM Adhoc under EPP, 50% diversion of MT quota
CAO posts to seniority quota etc.
In the
above important HR issues the E-2, E-3 standard pay scales
to JTO and SDE equivalent executives, proposal is pending in
DOT since for the last 3-4 months. Adl. Secy (T) has
clearly mentioned in the file that E-1A and E-2A pay scales
should be approved by Cabinet in BSNL and in future JTO/JAO
equivalent should be recruited in E-1 scale only. BSNL
management is yet to take up the matter with Secy. (T) for
his kind intervention before 3rd PRC
implementation otherwise
it will put executives in huge financial loss while
implementation of 3rd PRC. CPSU cadre hierarchy proposed by
Khan Committee has been disagreed by BSNL pers cell and now
a new CPSU cadre hierarchy is being drafted to ensure MT
recruitment at STS level.
Hence the Khan committee
recommendation on CPSU cadre hierarchy have been ignored.
The committee on Rs.2820/- pay fixation is under discussion
but some members of the committee are yet to change their
view in support of this 22820/- implementation. On 30% SAB,
a trust has now been created with the untiring efforts of
United Forum with 3% contribution but it has to increase up
to 12% with the effective date of 1.1.2007.
The HR issues ie. LDCE
qualified JTOs posting as SDE(T) after modification of
SDE(RR) E1+5 advance increments to JTO(SRD) JAO-2013 batch
and PA cadre, 50% MT (CAO) posts diversion to seniority
quota etc. are yet to be cleared by the BSNL Board. Like
this many other HR issues also pending for settlement. All
these issues can be resolved when BSNL Management gives a
serious thought on these issues. Most of the issues
remained pending for settlement on the pretext of membership
verification and now two months are over after MV but none
of the issue is towards settlement. Now the recognized
Association has also the responsibility to ensure for early
settlement of all the pressing HR issues on priority rather
than threatening and harming the members of other
Associations.

02.02.2017:
Meeting
with Director (HR) :
GS, FS, AGS (HQ) and AGS
(Finance) met with Director (HR) in the presence of GM (SR)
and discussed regarding:
(i)
Harassment & Victimization of AIBSNEA Office Bearers:
We expressed our serious concern against the harassment of
AIBSNLEA members by the Office Bearers / Members of SNEA in
some circles in day to day work. In the capacity of
immediate superior executives, who are incidentally our
members, are assigning work to their subordinate executives,
who happen to be the office bearers / members of SNEA they
are threatening and making gheros of their immediate
superior executive who is our member and harassing by making
abusing words and false complaints. We quoted recently held
some incidences in Punjab Circle, Karnataka Circle, Gujarat
Circle etc. Director (HR) immediately directed GM (SR) to
take the report from the concern Circle Heads and to take
immediate action to ensure discipline in the organization.
We
also informed Director (HR) that in some circles vindicating
actions are being taken by the Management by the way of
issuing show cause notice against participation in peaceful
demonstrative actions on the call of United Forum even after
calling off the said demonstrative action programs on
06.01.2017 after the cordial meeting with Director (HR). We
requested to stop such type of vindictive action to prevail
harmony in the interest of BSNL. Director (HR) assured to
look into the matter.
(ii)
Problems being faced by the members of AIBSNLEA in
completing the subscription deduction form:
We informed that in the field units some immediate superior
/ counter signing officers on the format of subscription
deduction are pressing our members to fill up the form of a
particular association to whom they belongs. Hence, our
members are being terrorized under the threat of spoiling
their careers / APAR in case they do not fill up the form as
per their direction. Hence, we requested to remove the
column of counter sign from the format since executives are
well educated and well known to the management. Director
(HR) immediately directed GM (SR) to modify the said format
immediately to avoid such incidences and to allow to prevail
democracy in the organization.
(iii)
Extension of some facilities to AIBSNLEA for its smooth
functioning: We requested for
granting some facilities to AIBSNLEA for its smooth
functioning in day to day working. Director (HR) assured to
look into the matter.
(iv) Implementation of E2 & E3
standard pay scales to JTO & SDE equivalent executives:
We requested for the implementation of E2 & E3 standard pay
scales to JTO & SDE equivalent executives in BSNL by getting
an early approval of DoT. Director(HR) mentioned that matter
is pending in DoT wherein AST has already proposed to send
the proposal of approving E1A & E2A pay scales in BSNL & E1
pay scale to future JTOs/JAOs. She assured that CMD will be
discussing this matter with Secy(T) shortly so that issue is
resolved before notification of 3 PRC report.
(v) Allowing option to exercise
10%quota JAOs: We requested to
issue order in respect of JAOs recruited through 10% quota
at par with JAOs-2010 batch of 40% quota. GM(FP) was present
in the meeting and assured to process the case for
settlement.
(vi)
Settlement of the long pending HR issues:
We requested for the settlement of the
long pending HR issues which are already approved by the
BSNL MC through the committee of HR group of DoT & BSNL.
Director (HR) informed that in the last HR group of DoT &
BSNL officers meeting held on 19.01.2017 could discuss only
HR Plan of BSNL and still discussions are to take place in
this regard in this month itself by this committee.
Thereafter only, this committee will consider all the
pending HR issues which are linked HR Plan of BSNL i.e.
Modification in SDE RR, Diversion of 50% MT Quota Posts of
CAOs to seniority quota, E1+5 increments benefits to the JAO
Batch 2013, JTO SRD and PA Cadre etc. We further requested
for early considerations.
(vii)
CPCs to fill up the vacant DE/CAO/EE (C) vacant posts:
We expressed our concern
against non filling up of the vacant posts of the DE/CAO/EE
(C) cadres on the pretext of pending court cases. Director
(HR) immediately spoke to PGM (Pers.) and directed him to
immediately file SLP in the Hon'ble Supreme Court against
the judgment of Hon'ble High Court Chandigarh as per the
advice of the ASG by the next week itself to remove the
statement in the CPCs.
01.02.2017:
Meeting with PGM (Pers.)
GS
met with PGM (Pers.) and discussed regarding:
A
Restructuring of CSS cadre in BSNL.
We requested to restructure the CSS cadre in BSNL by way of
creating some more DGM / Jt. GM Posts in BSNL. PGM (Pers.)
informed that the matter is under active consideration for
creation of 4 additional DGM (CSS) posts in addition to the
existing 6 DGM (CSS) posts on matching saving concept which
will shortly be submitted to the competent authority i.e.
BSNL MC / Board for approval.
B
Restructuring of AD (OL) Cadre:
We requested for submitting an early reply to DoT queries on
this issue. PGM (Pers.) informed that the matter is pending
in the EF Cell of BSNL CO for comments and shortly the reply
will be sent to DoT.
01.02.2017:
GS AIBSNLEA, GS AIGETOA and GS AITEEA met Smt. A. Panda, PGM
(PF-II) and
Chairman
of the committee and discussed the issue of Pay parity for
the executives recruited post 01.01.2007. It was explained
that the matter needs a considerate and holistic view. It
was explained to the chairman of the committee that
the executives recruited post 01.01.2007 are facing a huge
pay loss on account of non-extension of 22820/- as initial
basic. The loss of these executives is going to multiply
manifold with inception of 3rd PRC benefits. We
explained the technicalities associated with the issue. The
chairman was apprised of the fact that such type of
relaxations have been done earlier also in the case of
Direct recruits and so the same should be extended in case
of the executives recruited Post 01.01.2007.
We further pleaded that the option allowed on pay fixation
on promotion after 07.05.2010 to the departmental JAOs of
2010 batch is completely justified. PGM (PF-II) appreciated
our concern and mentioned that this case was justified and
as per rule.
We requested
Chairman
of the committee that FR should be relaxed for fixing Rs.
22820/- as minimum basic of JTOs/JAOs recruited post
01.01.2007 as done on several occasions earlier.
