23.07.2009 : GS, AGS (HQ), AGS (F), AFS and Advisor-I met Director (HR/Fin) and discussed –

(a) BSNL MS RRs for Executives – We extended our sincere and heartfelt thanks to Dir (HR) for issuing BSNL MS RRs. We expressed our serious concern against the deficiencies of BSNL MS RRs finalised for Executives e.g. these rules shall be effective from 11^th June 2009 instead of 1^st October 2000 as is in the case of Executive Promotion Policy. The Executives promoted to adhoc Group 'A' post before or after 01.10.2000, their adhoc service will not be counted as regular service for the purpose of future promotions. The Group 'A' Executives absorbed in BSNL belonging to IDA Pay Scale of 13000-350-18700 & 14500-350-18700 will be upgraded to IDA Pay Scale of 14500-350-18700, 16000-400-20800 & 17500-400-22300 as per attendant conditions circulated under letter No. 400-61/2004-Pers-I dated 18.01.2007 under Time Bound Promotions corresponding to next grade within a period of 4 to 6 years. These absorbed Gr. A officers will get Time Bound Promotion w.e.f. 11.06.2009 instead of 01.10.2000.

The existing JTOs/SDEs (C/E/Arch) Engineering wings having diploma qualification will not be eligible to be promoted to the grade of Assistant General Manager EE/Arch. In addition to this, in the Architecture discipline, having valid registration as Architect with the council of the Architects is made compulsory, which is gross injustice to the absorbed Executives of Civil/Electrical/Arch Engineering wings in BSNL who have been given parity with JTO/SDE (T) regarding pay scales and other service matters.

The graduate qualification for other services Executives has also been made compulsory even for existing Executives which is against the terms and conditions of absorption.

In BSNL MS RRs it should be clearly mentioned that the 50% DGMs posts earmarked for seniority-cum-fitness quota should be filled up dynamically. These posts should not be filled up from outside MTs. The regularisation process of adhoc Gr. A level Executives should be completed immediately and the vacant DGMs posts should be filled up on regular/adhoc basis.

BSNL Management should also implement the decisions of Joint Committee in its true spirit so that Executives do not feel discontented.

Dir (HR) assured to look into the matter and mentioned that some omissions/clerical errors etc. will be rectified immediately without affecting the RR structure and assured that the Joint Committee recommendations will be implemented.

(b) Implementations of DPE OM dated 02.04.2009 – We requested for early implementation of DPE OM dated 02.04.2009 regarding 78.2% DA in fitment instead of 68.8% since BSNL profit before PBT is more than 1000 Crores and after PBT is about 600 Crores for the year 2008-09. Dir (HR) mentioned that the request may be considered if the Quarter-2 i.e. July-Sep 09 profit comes more than last year’s Q-2. We apprised him that our Association is advising the members to implement 100 days programme successfully and to earn maximum revenue by increasing the customer base, providing quality service. We also mentioned that BSNL Management should also set the example by reducing their heavy expenditure being incurred on tours e.g. staying in 5/7 Star hotels, traveling in Executive Air Class and excessive use of vehicles etc.  

(c) Pay anomaly case of 2005 JTO batch – We requested to remove the pay anomaly of JTO 2005 batch by giving notional pay fixation from the date of joining of the first JTO i.e. Aug 2005. Dir (HR) assured to look into the matter.

He also mentioned that as a contingency plan 210 DGMs are being recruited. We pleaded to promote existing eligible absorbed Executives against JAG level vacant posts. CMD assured an early action in this regard.

(c)  Disinvestment of BSNL through IPO route – Joint Forum strongly protested against Govt.’s move to disinvest BSNL through IPO route.

After this BSNL will have only 17,000 Crore reserve fund which will not be sufficient for the future growth/requirement of BSNL.

(a)  Notification of BSNL Management Services’ RRs, 2009 – We extended our thanks for notifying the Gr. A RRs and expressed our serious concern against the discrimination made/deficiencies in Gr. A RRs e.g. the date of effect for implementation has been decided 11.06.2009 instead of 01.10.2000 which will put Gr. A absorbed Executives in disadvantageous position while implementing Time Bound Promotion Policy. Similarly the adhoc STS level Executives promoted before or after 01.10.2000 their adhoc service will not be counted for the purpose of regular promotion.

The JTOs/SDEs (C/E/Arch) wings having diploma qualifications are debarred for the EE/Arch promotion in violation of DoP&T guidelines and CPWD RRs.
