24.02.2018  Meeting between Shri Manoj Sinha, Hon'ble Minister of State for Communications and the All Unions and Associations of BSNL - A historical meeting:

A meeting is held at the Sanchar Bhawan today the 24.02.2018, between Shri Manoj Sinha, Hon'ble Minister of State for Communications and the All Unions and Associations of BSNL (AUAB). Together with the Minister, Secretary, DoT, Special Secretary, DoT, Joint Secretary (Admn.), DoT, DDG (Esst), DoT, Shri Anand Kumar, OSD to the Hon'ble Minister, CMD BSNL and Director (HR) BSNL were present. From the All Unions and Associations of BSNL, Com. P. Abhimanyu, GS, Com. Chandeswar Singh, GS, NFTE, Com. K. Sebastin, GS, SNEA, Com. Prahlad Rai, GS, AIBSNLEA, Com. K. Jayaprakash, GS, FNTO, Com. N.D. Ram, GS, SEWA BSNL, Com. Ravi Shil Verma, GS, AIGETOA, Com. Mallikarjuna, President, BSNL MS and Com. S.D. Sharma, GS, BSNL ATM, participated in the discussions. The representatives of the AUAB heartily thanked the Hon'ble Minister for taking out time to meet them. Detailed discussions took place on the memorandum submitted to the Hon'ble Minister, the details of which are as follows:-

 

(1)               3rd Pay Revision.

So far, the DoT has been maintaining that BSNL employees are not eligible for 3rd Pay Revision. In today's meeting the Hon'ble Minister agreed that the issue of 3rd Pay Revision of BSNL employees would be processed and would be taken for the approval of the DPE and the Cabinet. This is a great achievement. We have broken the stalemate that prevailed in the Pay Revision issue. At the same time we have to be vigilant, till the final approval is given by the Cabinet.

 

(2)               Formation of Subsidiary Tower Company.

The AUAB representatives expressed their apprehension that in the name of formation of the Tower Company, the 66,000 mobile towers of BSNL are being snatched away from BSNL. They also pointed out that the decision of the Cabinet that, the Subsidiary Tower Company would remain under the control of BSNL Management, has been violated, through the appointment of an IAS officer as the CMD of Subsidiary Tower Company. They further pointed out that even BSNL Management was not taken in to confidence in the appointment of an IAS officer as the CMD of the Subsidiary Tower Company, which clearly shows that the Subsidiary Tower Company would not be under the control of BSNL Management. The reply given by the Hon'ble Minister in this regard is not satisfactory. The AUAB has to find ways and means to ensure the rolling back of the Subsidiary Tower Company.

 

During the discussions on the issue, GS AIBSNLEA raised the issue of additional increment on post based promotions under the provisions of executive promotion policy provisions which has been denounced by DoT vide letter dated 05.07.2017 and lakhs of rupees recoveries are taking place of BSNL executives and BSNL pensioners. He instantly submitted Hon'ble PB CAT judgment copy to Hon'ble MOSC (I/C) wherein the DoT order dated 05.07.2017 has been quashed. Hon'ble MOSC (I/C) immediately directed DoT administration to look into the matter.  Now, we can expect that DoT may not go for appeal against the PBCAT order in this regard after this meeting.

 

(3)               Pension Revision.

The representatives of AUAB strongly argued that pension revision should be done to the BSNL pensioners. It was pointed out that the BSNL pensioners and the Central Government pensioners are covered by the same rules. They argued that when pension revision is settled for the Central Government pensioners, the same should not be denied to the BSNL pensioners. The Hon'ble Minister assured that needful action would be taken to settle this issue. 

 

(4)               Calculation of Pension Contribution.

It was strongly argued that pension contribution in respect of BSNL employees cannot be calculated on the basis of maximum of the pay scale, when the same is calculated on the basis of actual basic pay, in the case of Central Government employees. It was pointed out that as per the DoP&T order issued in 2006, pension contribution of the Central Government employees is being deducted on the basis of actual pay only. The Hon'ble Minister directed the Secretary, DoT, that this issue should be settled as per Government orders.

 

(5)               Allotment of 4G spectrum to BSNL.

The AUAB representatives pointed out that it will be extremely difficult for BSNL to compete with the private operators, without providing 4G service. They strongly argued that the proposal of the BSNL Management, for the allotment of 4G spectrum by the Government, should be accepted. The Hon'ble Minister replied in the positive and assured that needful action would be taken.

 

(6)               Reduction of retirement age from 60 to 58.

The AUAB representatives strongly argued that the retirement age of the BSNL employees should not be reduced from 60 to 58, as a measure for the revival of BSNL. The Hon'ble Minister told that the government is not having any proposal to reduce the retirement age from 60 to 58.

 

(7)               Left out issues of the 2nd PRC.

The AUAB representatives pointed out that this issue is lingering on very long time and needs to be settled. The Hon'ble Minister stated that this issue would be looked into by the Secretary, DoT.

 

At the end of the meeting, the Hon'ble Minister stated that the representatives of AUAB could meet him again, as well as the Secretary, DoT, in continuation of today's meeting. The representatives of AUAB heartily thanked the Minister for his positive response to most of the issues.

 

After the meeting with the Hon'ble Minister, a meeting of the AUAB was held in the FNTO's office. All the General Secretaries expressed their satisfaction with regards to the progress in the issues. They also expressed the view that all these have happened only because of the united struggles and massive mobilization by the entire Non-Executives and Executives, for which they deserve appreciation.

20.02.2018  Meeting with DDG (Estt), DoT:

GS along with GS / BSNLEU and GS / SNEA met DDG (Estt), DoT regarding pension revision of BSNL pensioners. We requested him that DoT should not link pension revision with the pay revision of BSNL serving employees which is not justified since the BSNL pensioners are not related with the affordability of BSNL. During their service their pension contribution has already been paid to DoT. We requested him to de-link the pension revision of BSNL pensioners from the case of pay revision of BSNL serving employees. DDG (Estt) assured to look into.

20.02.2018  Meeting with Secretary (Telecom), DoT:

GS along with GS / BSNLEU and GS / SNEA met Secretary (Telecom), DoT and requested for considering the BSNL's proposal for implementation of 3rd PRC recommendation with 15% fitment benefits in BSNL. We expressed our concern that the BSNL Board recommendations in this regard are pending in DoT for the last three months but no steps have been taken so far for its implementation. We further requested that DoT should relax the "Affordability Clause" of 3rd PRC or should take relaxation from Union Cabinet in the interest of BSNL and its employees. We pleaded that BSNL employees are working with their full commitment for the growth of BSNL and also timely completing the various Govt. projects like BHARAT NET, NFS & LWE etc.

 

Pay revision in BSNL is must to keep motivated the BSNL employees and in the interest of the viability of BSNL. Delay in consideration of pay revision has caused serious frustrations, resentment and demotivation amongst the BSNL employees. We explained that most of the BSNL employees were DoT employees only before their absorption in BSNL and as per Govt. of India Policy, after formation of the BSNL they exercised their option for taking absorption in BSNL under the assurances of better pay, promotion and pension but now the same is being deprived off on one pretext or another.

 

Regarding pension revision of BSNL pensioners, we apprised her that DoT Pension Cell is linking the pension revision with the pay revision of BSNL serving employees which is not justified since the BSNL pensioners are not related with the affordability of BSNL. During their service, their pension contribution has already been paid to DoT. The DDG (Estt) every time is explaining that in case the pension revision is done for BSNL pensioners without the pay revision of BSNL serving employees there will be anomalies in the pension. He is explaining that in case the pension is revised without considering the pay revision of BSNL serving employees, in that case BSNL pensioners retired prior to 01.01.2017 will draw more pension than the BSNL pensioners who retired or retiring after 01.01.2017. In this regard, we requested Secretary (Telecom) for her kind intervention for resolving the issue.

We also apprised Secretary (Telecom) regarding no initiation on wage revision negotiation of non-executives with non-executives Unions on the pretext of pending revision of pay scales of executives.

Secretary (Telecom), after giving patient hearing assured an early action in this regard and mentioned that Hon'ble MOSC (I/C) is also telling in all the meetings that we will consider the case. We extended thanks for granting the meeting.

20.02.2018  Executive Diary - 2018 published by AIBSNLEA:

15.02.2018  Hon'ble PB CAT New Delhi issues orders in OA No. 2649 quashing DOT Order dated 5/7/2017:

Congratulations! AIBSNLEA's consistent efforts yielded results in getting delivered a favourable judgment by the Hon'ble PBCAT New Delhi for quashing the DoT letter dated 05.07.2017 which rescinded grant of an extra increment on post based promotion under EPP. Hon'ble PB CAT New Delhi has issued orders in OA No. 2649 quashing DOT Order dated 5/7/2017. While writing the judgment Hon'ble PBCAT has mentioned that "The applicants have basically prayed for retention of para I.II (v) of the EPP (Annexure A-2, which has been duly approved by the Government according to its policy. There has been no policy change as such in the Government in regard to the service conditions of the BSNL employees. The controversy has arisen only on account of P&T audit unnecessarily trying to compare financial upgradation under the EPP with that under the MACP, not realizing that these two schemes are applicable to two separate set of employees.

11. In the conspectus of the discussions in the foregoing paras as well as considering the background of introduction of EPP, I am of the view that the impugned Annexure A-1 order dated 05.07.2017 is not at all legally as well as ethically justifiable. Its retention would create trust deficit between the BSNL employees and the Central Government, which is also unwarranted. Hence, I quash and set aside the impugned Annexure A-1 order dated 05.07.2017. Accordingly, the OA stands allowed.

<<<Click here for the judgment copy >>>>>>

This judgment is a glaring example about the of working of AIBSNLEA which fights sincerely and legally for the interests of all employees without any discrimination.

08.02.2018  Meeting with GM (Pers.), BSNL Corporate Office:

GS, FS and AGS (DR) met GM (Pers.) and discussed about the draft CPSU cadre hierarchy proposal  to be submitted in tomorrows BSNL Board meeting. We requested GM (Pers.) that the suggestions made by AIBSNLEA must be addressed in proposal before being it tabled to BSNL Board.  GM (Pers) intimated that he has already conveyed Director (HR) about the concerns raised by AIBSNLA. He sought brief of major points.

1. Ignorance of length of service and seniority: in proposed draft the length of service and the seniority is categorically ignored as it equalise the services of 25 years with 5 years. Therefore we suggested that instead of implementation from 01.01.2017 it should be from the date of last CPC held in that cadre and the year of recruitment otherwise it will not be beneficial to the executives in the Cadre(s) having more than 5 years' service. GM (Pers) told that it will result in two notional promotions, we told that BSNL is paying the 2 or 3 upgraded scales, so clubbing of services in next upgraded post can be a option.

2. Increase of residency  period for AGM grade from 7 years to 12 years: Residency period from SDE/Sr SDE to AGM and equivalent cadre should be maximum 7 years only.

3. MT Recruitment: We opposed the MT recruitment provision at STS level in the CPSU cadre hierarchy and mention of Adhoc promotions on STS posts. We told that as per the direction given by CMD, there should be non-post based  functional promotion upto AGM level then why the question of Adhoc promotions on AGM posts arises. The Adhoc promotion takes place against the vacancies and post based promotions.

4. Conduction of CPCs before switching to CPSU CH: We reiterated our stand that all pending CPCs should be completed and promotion orders should be issued immediately subject to outcome of court cases as there is no stay on issuing Promotions orders. About 10,000  SDE (T), 3,500 AGM, 500 DGM, 1,000 AO, 1,000 CAO, 100 SDE (Civil), 200 EE (Civil), 150 SDE (Electrical) and some Telecom Factory Posts are lying vacant which are to be immediately filled-up.

 

We also requested to early implementation of Hon'ble Apex court order in Rule 206 and 147 cases. GM (Pers.) assured to work out some way to complete the CPCs and issue promotion orders and to intimate our views regarding  the CPSU Hierarchy to the Management.

08.02.2018  Meeting with Director (Estt. ), DOT:

GS and AGS (HQ) met  Director (Estt. ), DOT and discussed regarding:

A. Pension revision of BSNL Pensioners: We requested to consider immediate revision of pension of BSNL Pensioners. Director (Estt.) mentioned that as per ruling position there is provision for revision of pension in isolation till the time pay revision of serving employees in BSNL takes place.  We pleaded that BSNL pensioners are not playing any role in the profit or loses of BSNL and during their service period pension contribution to DOT was paid. Thus their pension revision should be dealt separately. Director (Estt) further mentioned that Hon'ble MOSC (IC) has replied to VIP references that there is no rule exists through which revision of pension of BSNL pensioners is ascertained. The revision of pension can be considered by DOT, only with the consent of Nodal ministries and Cabinet approval after revision of pay scale of serving employees of BSNL.

B. Withdrawal of additional increment on the post based promotion in the same scale under EPP: Director (Estt) mentioned that DOT letter dated 05.07.2017 is still in existence and accordingly action needs to be taken by BSNL. Further any review may be consider only after the receipt of the judgement from Hon'ble PB CAT  New Delhi in the case filed by AIBSNLEA. The judgment copy is yet to be released by Hon'ble PB CAT, ND.

08.02.2018  Meeting with Special Secretary (Telecom), DoT

GS and AGS (HQ) met Shri N. Sivasailam, Special Secretary (Telecom), DoT and discussed regarding:

A. Implementation of 3rd PRC Recommendations in BSNL: We requested to approve the BSNL's proposal on Implementation of 3rd PRC Recommendations in BSNL. SST mentioned that in view of affordability clause of the 3rd PRC recommendations the case of BSNL is not covered, thus DoT has not taken any action and no case is now pending in DoT. We pleaded that pay revision in BSNL is must to keep motivated the employees and in the interest of viability of BSNL. SST mentioned that this point he has already pleaded before Cabinet Secretary in the meeting of secretaries that BSNL is the biggest PSU and having maximum man-power after railways hence affordability clause needs relaxation but the Cabinet Secretary did not consider any relaxation. He further mentioned that now this matter can be reviewed through Political decision, DPE or Cabinet Secretariat only. He advised that you achieve Rs. 32,000/- Crore revenue then only DoT may reconsider the case. 

B. Pension revision of BSNL pensioners: We requested to consider immediately revision of pension of BSNL pensioners. SST mentioned that he is in favor of revision of    pension of BSNL pensioners separately since it has no relevance with the affordability of BSNL since the BSNL will not bear the expenses of pension revision. He advised to discuss the matter with Member (S) and Member (F) for the settlement of the issue. He also assured to discuss the matter with Member (S) and Member (F)

C. Payment of pension contribution on actual basic pay of BSNL employees: We requested to consider the Payment of pension contribution on actual basic pay of BSNL employees. SST mentioned that He is not convinced in this regard and cannot recommend the case to the DOE. He gave justification that when one employee enters in lower scale and retires in higher scale, his pension contribution is varying but the payment of pension is being paid on the last pay drawn which is high. We pleaded that same thing is happening in Govt also but pension contribution is being taken on actual basic pay of the employee. But he was not ready for the argument.

D. Reduction of retirement age from 60 years to 58 Years in BSNL: We enquired about the move of DOT on Reduction of retirement age from 60 years to 58 Years in BSNL. SST mentioned that the issue pertains to revival plan of BSNL and it has no relevance with the implementation of 3rd PRC report in BSNL and in DOT nobody has power to negotiate on this line on pay revision.

E. MTNL merger with BSNL: SST mentioned that yesterday Hon'ble MOSC (IC) has replied in the parliament that there is no such proposal is under consideration in DOT presently in view of the Financial position of BSNL.

In addition of this Spectrum Allocation and bidding process on highest bidding  rates are the example of step behavior of Government towards BSNL, which is a Government owned company.

 

He mentioned that five days Satyagraha Programme is ending today wherein we have tried on PAN India level to explain DoT/BSNL Management that 3rd PRC is our right & we will not compromise below 15% fitment in 3rd PRC and also requested to withdrawal of Tower subsidiary & dropping reduction in retirement age from 60 to 58 year immediately.
