a) Implementation of 3rd PRC
with 15% fitment benefit in BSNL:
We requested Dir (HR) to use her good office in getting
cleared BSNLs proposal for 3rd PRC implementation
from DOT. Dir (HR) mentioned that BSNL Board approval on 3rd
PRC implementation was sent to DOT one month before but till
date it is pending and no body from DOT is discussing the
matter with BSNL management. Thus the matter has to be
discussed with Secretary Telecom and Hon'ble MOSC (I/C) for
their kind intervention and its implementation. We expressed
our concern that BSNL only is executing the dream project of
Hon'ble Prime Minister regarding NOFN work (Bharat Net
Project), NFS Work and LWE project etc. and now Govt. is
neglecting BSNL workers for their wage revision by
implementing 3rd PRC is not justified.
b) Withdrawal of Tower Subsidiary:
Dir (HR) mentioned that the decision on creation of Tower
Subsidiary and appointment of CMD Tower Subsidiary has been
taken by Govt. and now any review may be done by Govt. only.
The matter has to be taken up with Hon'ble MOSC (I/C).
c) Implementation of CPSU cadre
hierarchy: We requested for
implementation of CPSU cadre hierarchy by including our
views / suggestion in the draft proposal of Pers. Cell BSNL
CO. Dir (HR) mentioned that some views/ suggestion given by
our Association are taken into consideration and the same
will be placed before next board Meeting scheduled to be
held on 8th Feb-2018. She assured that some more
modifications as suggested by our Association may be
considered after the approval of BSNL Board.
d) Holding of CPCs to fill up vacant
Group-B and Group-A equivalent posts:
We expressed our serious concern against non-filling up of
the vacant Group-B & Group-A equivalent posts of all the
disciplines on the pretext of pending Court Cases. We
pleaded that on the vacant Group-A & Group-B level
equivalent post can be filled-up on Adhoc basis subject to
outcome of the Court Cases. We further requested that CPCs
should continue to be held to fill up the vacant Group-B and
Group-A level post till the time CPSU cadre hierarchy
proposal is approved by BSNL Board and Dot. Dir (HR) assured
to discuss the matter with GM (Pers) for an early solution.
e) Reduction of retirement age from 60
years to 58 years in BSNL: On
our query regarding DOT revival plan to BSNL wherein it is
suggested to reduce retirement age from 60 years to 58
years. Dir (HR) mentioned that DOT has given the revival
plan wherein it is advised to explore the possibilities to
reduce retirement age from 60years to 58 years and VRS but
so far BSNL management has not taken any decision in this
regard.
30.01.2018: Meeting with GM(Pers):

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

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.
