17.01.2018  Meeting with CMD BSNL:

CMD BSNL convened a meeting of the members of steering committee of All Unions and Associations of BSNL. Comrade GS attended the meeting wherein CMD BSNL mentioned that this year we all from TM to CMD should concentrate to strengthen BSNL's Sales & Marketing work. He apprised that BSNL's net worth is about 35,000 Crore. The operational profit of BSNL last year was about 4000 Crore that was significant to other private operator. The EBITDA of BSNL was positive of Rs. 1684 Crore. BSNL's asset reserves is Rs. 91684 Crore, land value is about 789 Crore. The loss of BSNL has gone down. BSNL is having only 4200 Crore's loan which is insignificant comparison other Telecom Operators. In view of this BSNL is a very strong organization, neither SICK nor incipient SICK.

 

CMD further mentioned that 4G spectrum and technology is a must in BSNL for the public perception and its requirement. In view of that BSNL Board has already taken a decision in its last Board meeting held on 21.12.2017 to get allocated 4G spectrum from DoT and DPR has been sent to DoT for approval. BSNL needs to pay Rs. 16000 Crore to get allocated 4G spectrum from DoT for next 10 years. BSNL has decided to launch 4G mobile service on 31st January 2018 by improving its existing mobile network in some of the Circles. After allocation of 4G spectrum from DoT, the 4G service will be rolled out throughout the county. We have requested DoT to utilize 5000 Crore remaining equity of BSNL in allocation of the 4G spectrum. Rs. 17500 Crore was Govt. equity in BSNL at the time its formation. Out of which equity of about Rs. 12500 Crore has already been utilized. 50% spectrum charges can be adjusted against equity and remaining amount will be paid in 10 installment in 10 years. In this manner BSNL is trying to get 4G allocation from DoT at the earliest.

 

On the issue of creation of Tower Subsidiary, CMD mentioned that in case the Tower Subsidiary 100% control remains with BSNL than it is beneficial to BSNL otherwise it may not be beneficial. The appointment of CMD Tower Subsidiary Company has been decided by DoT which was not in his notice. All the representatives expressed their resentment against the creation of Tower Subsidiary.

 

Regarding 3rd PRC, we expressed our serious concern against delay in DoT in giving approval for its implementation in BSNL. We explained that revision of pay of BSNL employees is a must to keep them motivated and in the interest of BSNL's viability. The revision of pension of BSNL pensioners should also be settled immediately by DoT. We requested CMD BSNL to use his good office to get the approval of Hon'ble MOS (C) (I/C) in this regard. CMD assured to discuss the matter further in DoT and Ministry.

 

CMD appealed that despite of some constraints we all employees of BSNL should concentrate to increase its revenue by strengthening Sales and Marketing.

10.01.2018  Meeting with DDG (Estt.) DoT:

a) GS, President met DDG (Estt.) DoT and discussed regarding revision of pension for BSNL pensioners. We requested to consider revision of BSNL pensioners de-linking with the revision of pay scale of BSNL Employees since, BSNL pensioners are no way related with the profit and losses of the BSNL. The pension contribution has already been paid to DoT during their service, so now there is no justification of linking revision of pension with pay revision. DDG (Estt.) mentioned that they are waiting for the decision on pay revision of BSNL executives and thereafter pension revision of BSNL pensioners will be processed. He explained the reason that incase the pension of the BSNL pensioners before 3rd PRC implementation on the basis of 2nd PRC is revised than the pension revision of the existing pensioners after 01.01.2017 will be lesser which will create anomaly. We explained that some formula has to be evolve by DOT to revise the pension and to avoid such anomalies. DDG (Estt.) assured to look into the matter.

b) Delay in settlement of pensionary benefits of BSNL pensioners who retired after July-2017 on the pretext of DoT letter dated 05.07.2017. We explained that against DoT letter dated 05.07.2017 stay order has been granted by Hon'ble CAT Jaipur in favor of 28 applicants and Hon'ble PB CAT New Delhi has also allowed the OA filed by AIBSNLEA requesting to quash the said order of DoT dated 05.07.2017. DDG (Estt.) mentioned that a clarification is being issued to BSNL and CCAs to settle all the pension cases on the basis of DoT letter dated 05.07.2017 immediately and the cases of the applicants in the court may be decided subject to outcome of the court cases. He assured to issue this instruction in next week itself. The 28 applicants in Jaipur CAT Bench has filed contempt of Court which will be heard in the next week and the judgement in Hon'ble PB CAT New Delhi is expected to be delivered in the next week.

We pleaded that we basically ere the employees of the DOT and under Govt. policy only we got absorbed in BSNL. Now on completion of the 10 years the pay revision of BSNL employees is a must at par with Govt. Employees.

Special secretary (T) - We requested Spl. Secy. (T) for implementation of 3rd PRC in BSNL and revision of Pension of BSNL pensioners. SST mentioned that BSNL's proposal on 3rd PRC is being given to a committee to examine for consideration in DoT. He further mentioned that matter is under consideration. Regarding pension revision of BSNL pensioners Spl. Secy.

03.01.2018  DOT appointed Shri Amit Yadav (IAS) ,Joint Secretary (Admin), DOT as CMD of tower subsidiary company of BSNL.

 DOT vide its letter no.79-51/2017 -SU dated 21.12.2017, has appointed Shri Amit Yadav (IAS) ,Joint Secretary (Admin), DOT as CMD of tower subsidiary company of BSNL. It  seems that the Government is moving fast to operate tower subsidiary. It is surprising that as per Union Cabinet decision the tower subsidiary will be fully owned by BSNL , but after seeing the DOT order it is difficult to understand that whether tower subsidiary will be controlled directly by DOT or through BSNL. We strongly oppose such active move of Government to fragment BSNL assets.

When the Chips are down

 

What you Gonna do, when the chips are down?

Now that chips are down,

Win if you can, give if you must;

Ain't nobody but yourself to trust;

Help yourself, to hell with the rest,

Even to foster parents, who now don't love you best.

What you gonna do when the chips are down?

Now that chips are down,

Aim for the goal, shoot to kill;

If you don't do it, then other one will;

Though time ain't easy, people ain't fair,

But BSNL got to fight for its rightful share.

 

Anupam Shrivastava

CMD, BSNL
