14-05-2008:-  Congratulations! Congratulations! Joint Committee of BSNL Officers and the representatives of Executives' Associations after marathon discussions has submitted its recommendations on MTRR induction at STS Level and other issues related to Executives Promotion Policy. It is great break through in the career prospectus of Group 'B' Level officers of  BSNL i.e MT Recruitment is shifted from STS level to JAG Level. Now, STS  vacancies will be available for regularization of  group 'B' Officers.The Group B level officers have been ensured to be promoted against 50% of the JAG posts through seniority-cum-fitness and 25% of the JAG posts through departmental competitive Exam. The detailed silent features of recommendations of the committee are given below :- 

1) Change of pay scale on non functional basis will be accompanied by change of designation i.e on each financial upgradation, there will be change of designation, as is prevailing in other CPSUs. Change of designation will take place on functional promotion also. Thus, the designation of an executive shall indicate his functional as well as non functional status. This is a step aimed at introducing CPSU cadre hierarchy. 

2) Fifty percent of total STS posts will be filled up by TES Gr B & equivalent on regular basis through seniority cum fitness, and the remaining STS posts will be filled up on adhoc basis by eligible TES Gr B & equivalent. Existing adhoc STS officers will be, immediately after promulgation of new RRs, regularized in STS to become eligible for regular promotion to JAG. Necessary relaxation of requisite qualifying service to regular STS to enable them to become eligible for promotion to regular JAG will be duly considered. The posts of JAG remaining unfilled, after filling up JAG vacancies on a year to year basis in accordance to the provisions of about to be promulgated RRs, shall be filled up by regular/adhoc STS, as the case may be. 

3) Integration between regular STS (seniority cum fitness quota) and MTs ( through internal competitive examination and outside recruitment in equal proportion) shall take place in JAG in the ratio of 1:1 i.e fixation of inter se seniority between regular STS (seniority cum fitness) and MTs (50% through internal competitive examination and 50% through outside recruitment) shall take place in JAG in the ratio of 1:1 i.e 50% regular STS from seniority cum fitness quota, 25% MTs from internal competitive examination and 25% MTs from outside recruitment. This means that JTOs/TES Gr B and equivalent shall henceforth occupy 75% JAG vacancies on a year to year basis, in sharp contrast to not a single vacancy of JAG being occupied by promotees on regular basis as of now. In addition, about 3400 STS posts( i.e 50 % of 6800 STS posts of all disciplines) shall be occupied by  Group 'B' on regular basis, not a single STS post is being presently occupied by TES Gr B on regular basis. 

4) The issues of service weightage, one time upgradation of JTOs/SDEs and granting of first financial upgradation after four years to those not reaching the minimum of next scale etc. shall be considered separately in future as an when additional/fresh inputs on these issues are given to the management.       

5)Two affiliates of the united forum i.e NTEA and AIGETOA recorded their disagreement over the recommendations.

We convey our sincere thanks and profound gratitude to the chairman of the committee Shri S.R.Kapoor-Sr. DDG(FP), and all other members of the committee from the official side i.e Shri A.K. Purwar-DDG(P), Shri D.P.De-DDG(Est.) and Shri Shakeel Ahmed-DDG(SR), for their persistent unbiased and painstaking determined efforts to resolve the serious situation having arisen because of the decision of the BSNL Board  to recruit MTs from outside at STS and fix inter-se-seniority between TES GR. B/ equivalent and MTs at STS level.
