23.02.2011: GS, President met PGM (FP) and discussed -

(a) Pay fixation case of JTOs 2007 & 2008 batches- We requested PGM (FP) , the Chairman Committee constituted to  examine the pay fixation case of JTOs 2007 & 2008 batches for early settlement of the case. PGM (FP) informed that Committee members have discussed the matter in detail and trying to compensate the pay of JTOs 2007 & 2008 batches by providing four additional increments which will be nearing to the pre-revised scale of Rs 9850/-. On our demand to provide provisionally pre-revised pay scale 9850/- (E1A) and to recommend the standard pay scale of E2 for JTOs, PGM (FP) mentioned that the E1A & E2A pay scales in the revised IDA pay scales approved by BSNL Board has been rejected by DoT on the pretext of poor financial health of BSNL. Hence at this stage BSNL can not implement E1A pay scale or can recommend standard pay scale E2 for JTOs. In view of this committee opines to compensate the pay of JTOs 2007 & 2008 batches by providing additional four increments on the basic revised pay Rs 16400/- i.e. Rs 18370/-. That can be the only solution available at present. We strongly pleaded that in case DoT has rejected intermediate IDA pay scales E1A & E2A , BSNL management should implement standard pay scales E2 for JTOs. PGM (FP) further mentioned that in the present poor financial health of BSNL such proposal is difficult to consider. However we will continue of our demand for our implementation of standard pay scales.

Payment of OPEX charges to BSNL from DoT Notional loan to BSNL amounting Rs. 7500 crores for which interest is being charged @ 14.5% should immediately be waived off.   The loan from Govt. of India for operation and maintenance requirement in the F. Y. 2010-11 and 2011-12 should be considered as given to other loss making PSUs and necessary instructions to all Govt. Offices/Officers/PSUs should be issued to take necessarily telephone connections from BSNL only.
