(i) Sh. K.K. Behera,SDE.....Circle President

(ii) Sh. P.K. Rout, AO.......Circle Secretary

(iii) Sh. N.P. Das, CAO.....Circle Financial Secretary

(iv) Sh. Sazid Md., AGM......Organising Secretary

(v) A.K. Khilar, PS .....CWC Member

AIBSNLEA CHQ is very much confident that newly elected youngsters  will make the  AIBSNLEA Odisha Circle  number one association in the ensuing 2nd MVP.

GS brought to the notice of Director (HR) in several Agenda Meetings held from Jan., 2020 to May., 2020 that due to very high standard of questions, combined with a large number of out of Syllabus/ambiguous/wrong questions, only 154 candidates have got passed, out of the total 741 candidates appeared in the LICE i.e., 21% only.

It is also a matter of serious concern that not even a single candidate was passed in as many as 5 circles and the result is also very poor in respect of SC/ST candidates. Only 26 SC Candidates and 18 ST candidates have passed from 8 Circles out of 28 Circles. It is pertinent to mention that not even a single SC or ST candidate was passed in other 20 Circles.

It is also worth to mention that all the candidates have entered through a highly  Competitive Exam for the Direct Recruitment to the Cadre of JE in BSNL.

In Post-VRS Scenario as on 01.02.2020, the posts of JTOs are vacant to the tune of 14828. Out of that the 50% vacancies available for LICE quota are 7414.

However, through the above said LIC Exam, only 154 candidates have passed i.e., only 2.08% vacancies can be filled up. 

Like that 1684 SC Vacancies and 1065 ST Vacancies are available for the LICE  quota but through the above said LICE , only 26 SC & 18 ST candidates only have passed Exam i.e., only 1.6% vacancies can be filled up.

GS AIBSNLEA requested-

1. 1. To provide relaxation of 10% marks in Group-A, 15% marks in Group-B and 15% marks in aggregate and

2. 2. To review the results of SC & ST candidates and award Grace marks

So as to render Natural justice to the affected candidates and to boost their morale in the current situation of BSNL, where these young energies will make the difference.

Due to the consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, a New Committee has been formed during the first week of June, 2020 under the chairmanship of GM (Rectt.) BSNL CO to review the results and award the grace marks. GS further requested the Director (HR) to speed up the submission of the Committee Report and declaration of review results.

To the Kind attention of all Post 2010 Batch DR/LDCE JTOs & JAOs Batches:

Dear Friends! AIBSNLEA is the only Association continuously taking up the issue of E1+ 5 increments to the post 2010 JTO/JAO DR & LDCE  at different level for quite long time due to non approval  of E2 Scale by the DoT. GS, AIBSNLEA has written to the BSNL Management about this anomaly and explained about huge difference in Pay to the tune of Rs 10000/- between the two sets of Executives recruited after 01.01.2007 onwards which created widespread resentment among the young Executives. The young DR and LDCE JTOs/JAOs  were demoted to a lower Pay scale and placed in E1 scale provisionally.

Due consist and continuous  efforts of AIBSNLEA , BSNL Board approved the grant of 5(five) advance increments on the minimum of the revised E1 pay scale of Rs. 16400-40500 to the directly recruited JTOs of 2007 and 2008 batch and directly recruited JAOs in respect of whom result declared in 2010 have been ordered to be fixed at Rs.19020/- and subsequently  BSNL Board approved the same for JAO 2010 LICE batch (both 10% Quota & 40% Quota) i.e., the pay of such JAOS has been fixed in the revised E1 pay scale of Rs. 16400-40500/- by granting one notional increment @ 3% of their existing pay in the feeder grade or at Rs. 19020/- by way of granting five advance increments on the minimum of the revised E1 scale, whichever is higher.

Like that due to continuous persuasion of AIBSNLEA with the BSNL Management, the grant of 5(five) advance increments on the minimum of the revised E1 pay scale of Rs. 16400-40500 to SRD JTOs 2010 batch and LDCE JAOs 2013 batch has been considered and approved by the MC of the BSNL Board. But the approval of BSNL Board is kept pending for the past so many years due to BSNL Restructuring Plan.

AIBSNLEA brought to the notice of the CMD, BSNL that the initial Pay of DR JTO Specially abled 2010 Batch, DR JAOs of 2015, 2018 Batch, DR JTOs of 2017 Batch, LDCE JAOs of 2016 batch and LDCE JTOs of 2016 & 2017 batch recruited/appointed as per the same Recruitment Rules as of DR JAO 2010 Batch was fixed at Rs.16400/- only and they are deprived from getting of 5 Advance increments; which is clear disparity and serious anomaly among the similarly placed JTOs/JAOs. The difference in basic pay of DR JTO Specially abled 2010 Batch, DR JAOs of 2015, 2018, DR JTOs of 2017, LDCE JAOs 2016 and LDCE JTOs 2016 & 2017 batches become Rs 2620/- (Rs,19020– Rs.16400) comparing to the DR JTOs of 2007 batch, 2008 batch and JAOs of 2010 LDCE batch. If other allowances are added, the real difference in salary today will be around Rs 10,000/-. On implementation of 3rd PRC, the difference will further increase and continue with time due to increase in IDA and annual increment. Further all are facing major losses in the form of career progression (time bound promotion), retirement benefits like E.P.F., Gratuity etc., due to discrimination of the initial basic pay compared to other similarly placed JTO/JAOs. 

AIBSNLEA in it’s letter also mentioned that they will get E-2 Scale as per the time bound EPP after 6 years only since they are placed in Rs.16400- 40500 Scale and they have not touched the next Scale within 4 years (as per the BSNL EPP) due to non grant 5(five) Advance increments. Whereas the earlier 2007&2008 DR JTO batch, 2010 DR JAO and 2010 LDCE batches  have got E2 Scale in 4 years which is the great injustice  and discrimination.

Due to implementation of VRS-2019 in BSNL and sudden outbreak of the present pandemic situation, the immediate propulsion faced by the Executives, especially the younger ones are hard to believe. They have already labeled themselves as silent fighters, who fought not only for their livelihood but also to run the Dreams of Indian Telecommunication amidst the most turbulent condition. Surprisingly, these energetic, educated and committed brigades have continuously been deprived in many spheres relating to their career in BSNL service. The financial difference between their of their senior counterparts due to Pay loss of Rs 10,000/- per month is unimaginable and unfair too.

In view of the foregoing,  AIBSNLEA fervently appeal to the CMD BSNL to kindly intervene in the matter and cause to issue necessary instructions to the Officers concerned to extend E1+5 increments to SRD JTOs 2010 batch, DR JTO Specially abled 2010 Batch, LDCE JAOs 2013 batch, DR JAOs of 2015, 2018 batch, DR JTOs of 2017 Batch, LDCE JAOs 2016 and LDCE JTOs 2016 & 2017 batches so as to increase the morale of the Young Executives.....<<<Click here for letter>>>

Hence AIBSNLEA appeal to all the Post 2010 DR/LDCE/SRD JTOs and JAOs to Think, Introspect and Decide who is the Saviour of the Young DR/LDCE JTOs and JAOs.

Vote for AIBSNLEA at Sr. No. 1 for safe guarding the interests and rights of all the Post 2010 DR/LDCE/SRD JTOs and JAOs

AIBSNLEA    ZINDABAD!

In the AUAB meeting held on 25.07.2020, it was decided that the submission of the Memorandum to the Hon. Members of Parliament should be expedited, despite the imposition of Lockdown in many areas and also restrictions in movement to contain Covid-19.

All the Circle/District Secretaries are requested to submit the Memorandum to the Hon. MPs on or before 31.07.2020 along with the constituents Unions and Associations of AUAB.  

Regarding Twitter campaign on 05.08.2020, a hastag will be created by AUAB focussing on immediate launching of 4G and Revival of BSNL and the same will be informed shortly. This campaign will create Media Attention and mass public support to our genuine demands of 4G launching and BSNL Revival.

All the Circle Secretaries, CHQ office bearers, CWC Members, Circle office bearers, Activists and District Secretaries are requested to make the twitter campaign programme a grand success.

1) Wrong recovery/withheld of Lakh of Rupees from the Ex-Gratia paid to VRS-19 retirees in Telangana/ AP Circles- GS brought to the notice of Director (HR) about the wrong recovery/withheld the Ex-gratia amount by the Telangna and AP Circles Administration in respect of one group of Accounts Officers without getting any clarification from the BSNL Corporate Office. There is a confusion in interpretation of the relevant orders by the Circle Admin., which creates Mental Agony, Resentment & Frustration among the retired officers. GS explained the issue in detail and expressed our serious concern for non-issuance of clarification to the TS/ AP/ KTK Circles by the Pers. branch for the past 4 months.

After patient hearing, Director (HR) assured to issuance of the clarificatory orders shortly.

GS further requested Director (HR) to fix responsibility to the officers concern for the wrong recovery.

2) Issuance of Unlawful clarification orders issued on 20.07.2020 by Estt. Branch of BSNL CO in the name of recovery of Excess payment: GS explained the Director (HR) about the unlawful recovery of Over/Excess payment already paid before five years to the Executives who have opted for VRS -2019 & retired now, citing the Hon’ble Supreme Court Judgment/order in CA No 11527 of 2014 (State of Punjab & amp; others Vs Rafiq Masih). GS requested  that the Hon’ble Supreme Court order has to be scrupulously followed and Corporate Office should avoid issuing any contrary order to avoid any hardship.

GS further explained that the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India has clearly mentioned about the recoveries by the employers that would be impermissible in Law:

The same judgment was endorsed by the Estt. Branch of BSNL Corporate Office to all field units vide its letter dated 01.05.2019.

The above said instructions of BSNL Corporate Office and Hon’ble Supreme Court Judgment has not been followed strictly and a contrary order has recently been issued by the Estt. branch of BSNL CO vide it’s letter dated 20.07.2020 resulted in Lakh of Rupees have been recovered from the Ex-Gratia payment paid to the VRS-retirees in the name of excess payment and in violation of the Hon’ble Supreme Court Judgment.

GS requested Director (HR) to revisit the case in the light of the Judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India & the earlier instructions of BSNL CO issued in this regard and issuance of clarifications to all Circles/Units to avoid the hardship, resentment & frustration among the employees/retirees.

3) Reversion of 2007 LDCE SDEs to JTOs case:- We expressed our serious concern about the delay in non-issuance of restoration orders to the 2007 LDCE SDEs reverted to JTOs. Director (HR) assured that shortly the Committee report will be submitted and decision will be taken very soon.

4) Request for increasing of Polling Booths and ensure free and fair Conduction of 2nd MVP with more than 75% polling: GS brought to the notice of Director (HR) about the serious Pandemic situation in most of the Circles and the problems faced by our Executives due to Communal Spreading of Covid-19 ,which is in Peak. GS requested to increase of Booths since most of the Executives working in the last corner of the particular SSA has to travel 70 KMs to 140 KMs for exercising their Votes in the polling booth at SSA HQ.

GS further requested Director (HR) to ensure at least 75% polling as well as free & fair conduction of 2^nd MVP since as per the REA Rules 2014, those who are getting 35% votes of total working Executives will be emerged as Majority Representative Association, failing which all Associations will get 15% or above (less than 35%) votes of working executives, to be given Support Association Status only till next MVP is conducted.

After patient hearing Director (HR) assured to look into.      

Status of JAO 1999 Batch Pay fixation and recovery issue:-

GS & AGS (F) met Director (Finance) BSNL Board and concerned officers-PGM (Pers.), Sr.GM (Estt.), GM (EF) & DGM (Pers.-SM) in this regard and requested for early issuance of the clarificatory orders since lakh of rupees have been wrongly withheld by Telangana & AP Circle’s Administration from the 3^rd Installment of Ex-Gratia payment to the Executives.

It is learnt that the case has been put up with positive note in confirmation with & endorsing the directions issued vide Pers. Branch letter dated 2^nd Sept., 2015 and submitted to the Competent authority for approval.

GS explained the case in detail and requested Director (Finance) to issue the clarificatory orders at the earliest. We hope that positive orders will be issued shortly.   

Status of JAO 2010 batch-10% quota, Pay fixation case w.r.t. the extension of option benefit:

Due to consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, the BSNL Management has formed a Committee to look into the issue. GS and AGS (Fin) met the Committee members and presented the views & suggestions of AIBSNLEA on the issue. The first meeting of the committee was conducted during last week. Again it will meet and take a final decision on the issue of extension of option benefit to the JAO 2010 batch- 10% quota also.

Committee meeting in respect of 40% JAO-2010 batch- The committee meeting was held during last week. GS and AGS (Fin) met the Committee members and presented the views of AIBSNLEA before the committee members. We categorically told to the Committee members that   the 40% JAOs 2010 batch Pay fixation issue was misinterpreted by some Circles. We further submitted that the earlier Committee report was approved by the Competent Authority and implemented prospectively w.e.f. 24.7.2015 and the pay was fixed notionally from the date of appointment of JAOs in June, 2010 onwards to 23.7.2015 and actual pay was drawn only from the date of orders and hence there is no question of excess payment of arrears up to 23.7.2015.

We further argued that the case was already settled as per the recommendation of the committee and approval of the Competent Authority need not be reopened.

We hope that positive recommendation will be submitted by the Committee shortly.

Status of Reversion of 2007- LDCE SDEs (2001 DR batch):

The committee required reports from all the Circles. Some of the Circles not yet forwarded the same to BSNL CO. Pers. Branch is issuing reminders to the Circles not yet responded. After the receipt of the reports from the Circles, the Committee report will be finalized and submitted to the Competent Authority.         

AIBSNLEA requested to BSNL Management, that the recovery of Over/Excess payment already paid to the Executives, who have opted for VRS and already retired, may not be made, citing the Hon’ble Supreme Court Judgment which has to be scrupulously followed.

As per the request of AIBSNLEA, BSNL Management extended the date for submission of Self-Appraisal, reporting and reviewing of e-APAR for the year 2019-20 up to 31.07.2020, 31.08.2020 and 30.09.2020 respectively.

AIBSNLEA extend its sincere thanks to the Director (HR), PGM (Pers.) & DGM (Pers-SM) BSNL CO, New Delhi.

<<<Click here for Letter written by GS regarding promotion to the grade of SDE(T) >>>

                       Comrades! Please Think-over!

What are the reasons for delay in JTO to SDE (T) Promotion?

Those who are singing the tunes of themselves being the saviors of Youngsters have gone to the Court and stalled the Promotions from JTO(T) to SDE(T) under  Seniority Cum Fitness 67% Quota. Due to this Court Case, thousands of BSNL recruited JTOs including 2001 Batch onwards are still waiting for their first promotion for the last 6 to 20 years

Friends, all are aware that due to consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, 2090 JTO (T) s were promoted as SDE (T) through 2015 LDCE for the vacancy year 2010-11 on 25.06.2018.

All India Eligibility List published by BSNL CO during Feb’ 2015 to grant promotions to the cadre of SDE (T) under 67% seniority cum fitness quota was challenged by some of the Office bearers  of so called Saviors  Association in the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala. The Hon’ble High Court of Kerala vide their judgment dated 05.06.2018  set aside the above said AIEL and directed to redraw an integrated AIEL on the basis of date of joining without considering training centre marks. BSNL published an AIEL on 14.06.2018 by bifurcating the earlier AIEL which only consists of JTOs recruited up to the year 1999 and accordingly, granted promotion to the cadre of SDE (Telecom) for 67% Seniority cum Fitness quota on 15.06.2018. Due to the Court directions, BSNL issued promotion orders only for 3147 JTOs even though another 4500 vacancies were available for the vacancy year 2009-10 and 2010-11. In this DPC, BSNL has promoted JTOs recruited for 1995 (partial), 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 (partial) recruitment years for the vacancy years 2009-10 and 2010-11. Though more than 4500  of SDE vacancies were available during June- 2018, but could not be filled up as the Eligibility list of JTOs recruited from 2001 onwards  have to be re-casted as per the directions of Hon’ble  High Court of Kerala w.r.t. Date of Joining, in view of the case filed by the activists of so called Saviour Association.

A contempt petition was then filed against the promotion orders dated 15.06.2018, by some of the Office bearers of the so called Saviors Association which is still pending for disposal. Due to the Contempt petition   filed by the activists of the so called Saviour Association against CMD BSNL, another 4500 vacancies could not be filled after June, 2018.   

Hence the JTO (T) to SDE (T) Promotions were badly delayed for more than two years due to Court cases filed by the so called Saviors of Youngsters which created serious resentment, de-motivation and demoralization among the Young JTOs of 2001 to 2008 batch.

BSNL filed a Review Petition against the judgment dated 05.06.2018  since  the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala in its judgment had made the training centre marks irrelevant, which is not in consonance with the DoP&T guidelines. The above said review petition is still pending for disposal.

So Comrades! Please understand who is behind the stalling of due Promotions.   Those who were gone to the Court and stalled the Promotion in the name of Contempt Petition are not come forward to withdraw the same in the interest of thousands of BSNL Recruits but they are now shedding the Crocodile Tears that JTO(T) to SDE(T) Promotions are delayed. 

Friends! Please identify the true colours of so called Saviors Association who have killed the Carrier Prospective of BSNL Recruits.

We request the whole BSNL Recruits to think, introspect and decide!

Vote for  AIBSNLEA in No.1 to safe guard the interests and rights of BSNL Recruits.

AIBSNLEA    ZINDABAD!

MAKE   AIBSNLEA   AS   NO-1   ASSOCIATION

AIBSNLEA is the only Association taken up this issue with the BSNL Management time & again.  In 2009, the Departmental TTAs appointed as JTOs through direct recruitment quota (2007 batch). They have applied to the JTO-2007 posts through proper channel as per FR 22 GIO (4) rulings. As per the letter cited under reference (2), after appointment as JTOs, past service benefits has to be extended to them which are in line with FR 22 GIO (4) and this rule further says Pay fixation should be done under FR-27. As per Para 3.6 of Non-Executive PRC cited under reference (1), the entire departmental outsider JTOs who were appointed in 2009 exercised their option for pay fixation from Date of their promotion.

The Departmental outsiders of 2007 Batch were appointed during March 2009 to December 2009 (i.e. between 01-01-2007 to 07-05-2010) and hence they are entitled for exercising option to have their pay fixed as per BSNL Corporate Office order dated 18-05-2011.

The Departmental outsiders were drawing their pay in the Pre revised Non-Executive Scales (7100-200-10100) before their appointment as JTO. If they opted for Pay fixation from the date of their promotion they will continue to draw the pre-revised Pay (7100-200-10100) of the existing cadre up to the date of promotion and on the date of promotion their pay will be fixed initially from the Pre-revised JTO Pay Scale of 9850-250-14600 and then re-fixed to the corresponding Revised E-1 IDA Pay Scale of Rs.16400-40500. Hence they may be allowed in JTO Pre revised Scale up to the date of Non Executive PRC order i.e., up to 10-5-2010. They are eligible for exercising option from the date of Promotion as per FR-27 read with FR-22(I)(a)(i). The Pay of the Departmental outsiders (from TTA Cadre) appointed against DR JTO quota may be fixed in 9850-250-14600 in accordance with FR-22 GIO(4) ,FR-27 GIO(4)iii, C&AG’s decision(1),FR- 27 GIO(5)iii and FR-22 (I) (a)(i).

AIBSNLEA requested CMD BSNL to review the case and fix the Pay of the internal candidates selected against DR JTO quota by extending the benefits of past services by treating the selection against DR JTO quota as a promotion and their option for pay revision from the date of promotion...........<<<Click here for letter>>>

20.07.2020  GS writes to Shri P.K.Purwar, CMD BSNL regarding.....implementation of DPE Guidelines on Membership Verification and 3rd PRC ....<<<Click here for  letter>>>>

The proposal of the BSNL Management for 3rd Pay Revision of Executives in BSNL from 1-1-2017 was denied by the Administrative Ministry namely DOT on the plea that as per DPE Guidelines, our Company BSNL (PSU- governed by DPE Guidelines) has reported loss for three consecutive Financial years and hence the Executives are not eligible for any Pay Revision.

This being the case, our plea based on the same DPE-Guidelines (As per DPE Guidelines, no Membership verification is required amongst Executives in any of the PSUs and the report obtained through RTI is enclosed herewith for reference) to dispense with the Membership verification for Executives in the overall interest of our company is not acceded to by the Management.

Since  the 2nd MVP is announced and scheduled on 18th August 2020, AIBNLEA  requests the  CMD, BSNL  to initiate and complete the process of the 3rd Pay Revision for  BSNL Executives due from 1-1-2017, to avoid any legal complications later, since our Management cannot arbitrarily fix different yardsticks in the implementation of DPE Guidelines.

20.07.2020 GS writes to Shri P.K. Purwar, CMD BSNL regarding non-disbursement of the Salary on due date and the Non-remittance of the recoveries, like Society EMI, SAB, PRMB (for BSNL Direct recruits) and Bank MOU etc., from the Salary on monthly basis to the concerned Organizations. Likewise Medical reimbursement is also pending for the months together in respect of the retirees and working employees.

Due to non-remittance of the dues already recovered from the salary, the employees are suffering a lot. BSNL Employees are not able to get Society Loans, GPF advance/withdrawal as well as non-settlement of Superannuation benefits to the retirees/VRS DRs etc.

Further, the salary for the month of June’ 2020 has not been disbursed to BSNL Employees till today. Sir, monthly salary is disbursed to BSNL Employees belatedly for so many months. After  VRS  is  implemented  in  BSNL,  the  net  monthly  Salary  expenditure  comes  around Rs.425/- Cr per month only and time and again it is brought to the notice of the CMD BSNL/ Management by the AIBSNLEA and requested in the periodical meetings that the Salary at least from the March, 2020 onwards may kindly be paid in timely manner.  But, we are constrained to bring to your kind notice that the Salary for the month of June, 2020 has not been disbursed till date even though the monthly collection for the month of May, 2020 is around 1400 Cr, which creates heartburning, frustration, humiliation and resentment among the BSNL Employees. We are aware of the Commitment of the BSNL Management regarding the payment of Statutory dues viz., GST, TDS and EPF/Bank Interest and Quarterly Principal re-payment etc., but at the same time BSNL Management has to understand the problems faced by the BSNL Employee during this  Lockdown  period  without  timely  payment  of  the  Salary how employees will survive.

However, the BSNL Employees have maintained the essential Telecom Network of BSNL in an excellent manner during the Nation-wide lockdown period.

Hence, AIBSNLEA  earnestly urge upon the CMD  to kindly take an early & expeditious step  to  disburse  the  Salary  for  the  month  of  June’  2020  and  kindly  ensure  the monthly  Salary  of  ensuing  months  on  due  dates  as  well  as  make  necessary arrangements for the immediate payment of the outstanding recoveries to the concerned Organizations so as to mitigate the suffering being faced by the BSNL Employees and to avoid any resentment and frustration among the BSNL employees............<<<Click here for GS letter>>>

19.07.2020 GS writes to Shri P. K. Purwar, CMD BSNL regarding Conduct of 2nd MVP for Executives in the midst of Covid19......

AIBSNLEA is very confident to get more than 10,000 Votes and become a No.1 Association with a great show in the event of an 2nd MVP conducted at any time, at the same time AIBSNLEA is the only Association worried and  more concerned about the personal safety of all the  BSNL Executives and their families , than winning any Election (2^nd MVP).

AIBSNLEA intimated the CMD through this letter that as per the reports obtained from the Circle Secretaries of various Circles throughout  India, that the Pandemic is growing exponentially and the State and Central Governments are struggling hard to control its spread by introducing all types of restrictions to save valuable human lives. Now, it is declared by the State Govts., including Kerala that Covid-19 is peak through Communal Spreading..  Hence,  we cautioned that

 The BSNL Management will be squarely held responsible for spread of COVID-19 pandemic and it’s after effect on the lives of our BSNL Executives if it continued with its plan to go ahead with the proposed 2nd  MVP on 18th August 2020.     

If conduct of 2nd MVP leads to any mis-happenings or untoward incidents, it will be the Sole responsibility of the BSNL Management.

And AIBSNLEA is  doubting  that whether the 2nd  MVP will be conducted by the BSNL Management in a free and fair manner.

We draw the Kind attention of CMD BSNL, Hon’ble MOC and Secretary DoT that the members of AIBSNLEA fears that by conducting 2^nd MVP,  our BSNL Management is attempting a misadventure at the cost of the lives of our own Staff & officers.

Comrade GS, AIBSNLEA had a detailed discussion with GS, SEWA BSNL Respected Shri N.D. Ram ji and Chief Patron of SEWA BSNL Respected Shri P.N.

Again AIBSNLEA insisted the Dir HR and PGM (F) to consider the views of AIBSNLEA regarding CPSU CH through various meetings held on 08.11.2019 & 31.10.2019. GS further informed the SEWA BSNL Leaders that AIBSNLEA is the only Association never gone to the Court against any Promotions of any Executives and against the SC/ST Executives Welfare and sought the esteemed support of SEWA BSNL to AIBSNLEA in the ensuing 2^nd MVP.

Comrades! Please Think-over!

What are the reasons for delay in JTO to SDE (T) Promotion? Those who are singing the tunes of themselves being the saviors of Youngsters have gone to the Court and stalled the Promotions from JTO(T) to SDE(T) under  Seniority Cum Fitness 67% Quota. Due to this Court Case, thousands of BSNL recruited JTOs including 2001 Batch onwards are still waiting for their first promotion for the last 6 to 20 years

Friends, all are aware that due to consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, 2090 JTO (T) s were promoted as SDE (T) through 2015 LDCE for the vacancy year 2010-11 on 25.06.2018.

All India Eligibility List published by BSNL CO during Feb’ 2015 to grant promotions to the cadre of SDE (T) under 67% seniority cum fitness quota was challenged by some of the Office bearers  of so called Saviors  Association in the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala. The Hon’ble High Court of Kerala vide their judgment dated 05.06.2018  set aside the above said AIEL and directed to redraw an integrated AIEL on the basis of date of joining without considering training centre marks. BSNL published an AIEL on 14.06.2018 by bifurcating the earlier AIEL which only consists of JTOs recruited up to the year 1999 and accordingly, granted promotion to the cadre of SDE (Telecom) for 67% Seniority cum Fitness quota on 15.06.2018. Due to the Court directions, BSNL issued promotion orders only for 3147 JTOs even though another 4500 vacancies were available for the vacancy year 2009-10 and 2010-11. In this DPC, BSNL has promoted JTOs recruited for 1995 (partial), 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 (partial) recruitment years for the vacancy years 2009-10 and 2010-11. Though more than 4500  of SDE vacancies were available during June- 2018, but could not be filled up as the Eligibility list of JTOs recruited from 2001 onwards  have to be re-casted as per the directions of Hon’ble  High Court of Kerala w.r.t. Date of Joining, in view of the case filed by the activists of so called Saviour Association.

A contempt petition was then filed against the promotion orders dated 15.06.2018, by some of the Office bearers of the so called Saviors Association which is still pending for disposal. Due to the Contempt petition   filed by the activists of the so called Saviour Association against CMD BSNL, another 4500 vacancies could not be filled after June, 2018.   

Hence the JTO (T) to SDE (T) Promotions were badly delayed for more than two years due to Court cases filed by the so called Saviors of Youngsters which created serious resentment, de-motivation and demoralization among the Young JTOs of 2001 to 2008 batch.

BSNL filed a Review Petition against the judgment dated 05.06.2018  since  the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala in its judgment had made the training centre marks irrelevant, which is not in consonance with the DoP&T guidelines. The above said review petition is still pending for disposal.

So Comrades! Please understand who is behind the stalling of due Promotions.   Those who were gone to the Court and stalled the Promotion in the name of Contempt Petition are not come forward to withdraw the same in the interest of thousands of BSNL Recruits but they are now shedding the Crocodile Tears that JTO(T) to SDE(T) Promotions are delayed. 

Friends! Please identify the true colours of so called Saviors Association who have killed the Carrier Prospective of BSNL Recruits.

We request the whole BSNL Recruits to think, introspect and decide!

Join AIBSNLEA to safe guard the interests and rights of BSNL Recruits.

AIBSNLEA    ZINDABAD!

MAKE   AIBSNLEA   AS   NO.-1   ASSOCIATION

Mega Promotions- Mile Stone created in the History of DoT & BSNL- AIBSNLEA Vision and Positive approach benefited thousands of Executives by Promotion through CPCs, which is a Major breakthrough and Achievement of AIBSNLEA: Due to consistent untiring and dedicated efforts of AIBSNLEA, CPCs were conducted in all disciplines to fill up all the vacancies in almost all Cadres resulting about 14,000 Executives have been promoted in June-July, 2018 and Nov,2018 which has given a great relief and Morale booster to the Executives who were waiting for their promotions years together. It is a mile stone in the History of DOT and BSNL.

On the pretext of various pending Court cases, BSNL Management is not conducting CPCs. AIBSNLEA has written to the Management for the immediate filling up all the vacant JAG, STS Group ‘A’ & Group ‘B’ Grade posts in all disciplines in BSNL on Regular basis through CPCs before the implementation of the proposed VR Scheme and before any Notification of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy on the prospective date to avoid humiliation among the Sr. Executives.

AIBSNLEA is only Association persuaded and convinced the Management that CPCs in BSNL can also be conducted on the similar lines on which the other Departments are conducting the CPCs on the basis of Hon’ble Supreme Court’s Judgment in the case of Nagaraj on SC/ST roster implementation: BSNL Management considered our request and decided in the BSNL MC to initiate CPCs in all disciplines on the same line of other Departments. Mean-while Hon’ble Supreme Court also delivered the Judgment allowing SC/ST roster implementation in promotions which was also endorsed by DoPT. This further smoothens the way for conducting CPCs in BSNL. In the SDE(T) Promotions all the vacancies could not filled up due to the Court cases at Ernakulum and Chennai. Only 5237 JTOs were promoted as SDE in 2018.

2. 30% Superannuation benefits to directly recruited employees as per DPE guidelines: AIBSNLEA requested CMD BSNL, Director (HR/EB) and ED (Finance) to resolve superannuation benefits to directly recruited employees as per DPE guidelines and BSNL should contribute 12% as Superannuation Benefits in respect of Direct Recruits to fulfill the limit of 30% contribution. The remuneration committee of BSNL Board recommended to start a Superannuation benefit Trust to directly recruited BSNL employees with a contribution of 3% initially and further it can be reviewed on the basis of financial health of the Company. DoT issued the Presidential Directives in this regard and BSNL Management created a Trust and other formalities in this regard. On our persuasion BSNL Board has increased the contribution from 3% to 5% but we are continuously demanding 12% contribution. CMD BSNL assured to increase further 2% in the contributions to the Superannuation benefits by March, 2019 but remain pending due to Financial Crunch in BSNL. AIBSNLEA will continue its efforts in this regard.

3. JAO 2010 Batch option case: Due to hard and continuous persuasion with deep commitment and understanding of the issue results in getting released the order allowing JAO 2010 Batch (Departmental 40% Quota) to exercise their option for fixation of pay in the revised pay from the date of promotion in the grade of JAO, as one time dispensation.

4. Group Term Insurance for the BSNL Executives: It is our major achievement and relief for all the Young Comrades AIBSNLEA attended all the meetings with the Committee members constituted to discuss the methodology for induction of Group Term Insurance (GTI) for its executives. Implementation of GTI Scheme for BSNL Executives has been finalized & MoU between LIC & BSNL is finalized & signed between LIC & BSNL on 27.12.2019. The Scheme has already been implemented w.e.f. 01.03.2019 with annual Premium of Rs.9440/- for a coverage of Rs.50 lakh for all the Executives up to 50 years of age.

5. Reversion of 2001 Recruited JTOs Passed LDCE 2007: Due to AIBSNLEA continuous persuasion with the Management a Committee has been formed and Committee Report is likely to be placed before the Management. We will continue our efforts in this regard.

6. Rs. 22820/- Pay Fixation case of JTOs/JAOs post recruited 2007: AIBSNLEA along with AITEEA requested CMD BSNL for the removal of pay anomaly in this regard. Accepting our request CMD, BSNL constituted a Committee headed by PGM (PF) Smt. A. Panda to examine the issue and submit the report. We also gave presentation to the Committee and the Committee has submitted its report to the competent authority for consideration. We are pursuing with Director (HR) and CMD BSNL for the resolution of the issue. We have explained that already some Pay Anomaly Cases of JTOs 2005 batch, JAO 2010 batch and Asstt. of CSS cadre have been settled by BSNL Management. In the same line this issue also needs settlement but case remains pending.

7. Management Trainees Recruitment Rule-2009: AIBSNLEA consistent efforts yielded results in getting deferred MT Exam – 2015 but some Executives Associations and Non-Executives Unions are continuously making efforts for MT recruitment. Our considered opinion is that since young and talented executives having B Tech/M Tech, CA/ICWA, MBA qualifications at the level of JTO / SDE are available in BSNL, hence there should not be any lateral induction above JTO cadre. The lateral induction above the JTO cadre will block the career progression of these young talented executives available in BSNL. But the BSNL Management has further notified MT Recruitment from Internal Quota by conducted the exams on 17th March, 2019. Against this AIBSNELA has protested. Management has to scrap the MTRRs to provide smooth career progression to the existing executives of BSNL.

8. E1+ 5 increments benefit to JTOs/JAOs: Management Committee of the BSNL Board approved E1+5 increments benefits to the SRD JTOs 2010 batch and JAOs 2013 batch but it is pending for BSNL Board Approval, our efforts are continue. Like that AIBSNLEA continuously pursuing with the Management for grant of E1+5 increments to the DR JAOs 2015 & 2018 batch LDCE JAOs 2016 batch and LDCE JTOs  of 2016 & 2017 batches...

9. Due to consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, the FR22(1)(a)(i) benefits extended to the Ex. Officiating JTOs w.e.f. 1.1..2007.

10. Withdrawal of Additional Increment in the same scale on functional promotion under EPP: DoT vide its letter dated 05.07.2017 withdraw additional Increment in the same scale on functional promotion under EPP. Against this, AIBSNLEA immediately filed an OA in the Hon’ble PB CAT New Delhi for quashing the order. Even after that, DoT continued to reduce the Pension of the BSNL retiree Executives, against this AIBSNLEA filed a Contempt Petition in the Hon’ble PB CAT New Delhi. Thereafter DoT stopped reducing the pension/ revising the Pay fixation by obtaining an under taking from the retiring executives, DoT has filed Writ Petition in the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi wherein AIBSNLEA has filed a caveat. The case was heard and Posted for next hearing in April 2020. Due to COVID-19 Lock down it is not yet heard.

11. AIBSNLEA is actively Participated in all the Agitation calls given by AUAB and regularly attending the meetings to discuss the issues related to the Revival Plan, Financial viability of BSNL, allocation of 4G spectrum to BSNL, Monetization of non-core Land, the issues of revision of Pay, Pension and Payment of pension contribution on actual basis instead of maximum of the pay scale, BSNL MRS etc. To get settled the demands, AUAB launched series of agitation calls including 3 days strike and March to Sanchar Bhawan etc., in all the Agitational Calls AIBSNLEA was in fore front and actively participated and succeeded by getting Revival Plan Approved by the Union Cabinet on 23.10.2019 with a) 4G spectrum and 18% GST free of cost, b) No financial implication for BSNL on VRS, c) Land monetization for loan repayment and development, d) Rs 8,500 Crore Bond for Restructuring of loan. Contentious issues like E2 & E3 Pay Scale will be settled before BSNL & MTNL Merger.

12. Tower Subsidiary formation: Govt. of India with the Union Cabinet approval dated 12.09.2017 has created a Subsidiary Tower Company fully owned BSNL. The company has been registered in the name BSNL Tower Corporation Ltd. on 04.01.2018. But, DoT arbitrarily appointed Shri Amit Yadav, JS (Admn), an IAS officer, as the CMD of the Subsidiary Company which created apprehension that Govt. may any time sell out the Subsidiary Company through strategic business partner. Against this, AUAB protested organizationally and decided to protest legally also. Accordingly, AIBSNLEA filed a case in the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi resulting BTCL still not in operation.

13. Pension Contribution on Acutal basic Pay instead of Maximum of the Pay Scale: AIBSNLEA continuously pursuing with DoT, DoPT and Dept of Expenditure for the Pension contribution on actual basic pay instead of maximum of the pay scales as per F.R 116.

14. Modification in BSNL MSRR regarding Pay fixation from E5 to E6 to DGM (Adhoc): AIBSNLEA succeeded in getting approved from BSNL Board the modification in BSNL MSRR regarding Pay fixation from E5 to E6 to DGM (Adhoc). Many stagnating Executives are benefited by this.

15. Promotion from DGM (Adhoc) to DGM (Regular): Due to consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA, Promotion Orders have been issued from DGM Adhoc to Regular. It is the AIBSNLEA Achievement i.e. 1st time in the history of BSNL.

16. Centralization of TR Activities: We strongly protested against the decision of the BSNL Management to transfer all TR work to Circle Office and requested that it has to be reviewed immediately as it is not practical. We suggested that for very small SSAs, it can be centralized at BA level but medium and larger SSAs, TR work should be continued with the SSA for effective bill collection and persuasion, settling of billing related complaints, Outstanding Pursuit, handling of EB Customers etc., Management is very much convinced on our suggestions and assured to review the policy.

17. SLA based Outsourcing of CFA and OFC works: Management has already issued orders for the SLA based Outsourcing of works. In most of the SSAs, EOI are not finalized and manipulations by the Contractors are being reported from many places because of the Clusters and Operation & Mtce., is not monitored and maintained properly. We continuously provided the feedback to the Management in this regard.

18. e-DPC/e-APAR: AIBSNLEA has taken up the issue of early conduction of DPC through e-DPC resulting e-APAR got introduced in BSNL in February’ 2017 in ERP Module for the year 2016-17 for streamlining e-DPC related work. As a result, e-DPC was introduced and successfully conducted for DGM (T) Promotion in Feb.’ 2020.

19. 3rd PRC Implementation with full fitment benefit: We could convince the BSNL full Board resulting it has been recommended by BSNL Board with 15% fitment for the Executives. Due to performing continuous losses by BSNL, the recommendation is pending for seeking relaxation on Affordability Clause in DoT.

20. Standard Pay scale of E2 and E3: AIBSNLEA will continue its efforts to get implemented the BSNL’s earlier proposal sent to DoT on 06.06.2016 and 12.06.2017 to provide justice to all the Executives in order to remove their Pay Anomaly and Stagnation. DoT referred the case to DoE and DPE for the clarification to introduce parallel Pay Scales of E1A and E2A in BSNL but DPE and DoE has replied that it is the prerogative of the Administrative Ministry/ PSU to decide the Pay Scales of Executives in the Pay Band available.

21. Govt. funding for Ex-Gratia on VRS: AIBSNLEA demand of payment of Ex-Gratia to the VRS optees by the Govt. from Budgetary Support instead of raising Bonds by BSNL has also been accepted finally.

22. Withdrawal of ambiguous CDR IPMS Score Card for CFA Segment.

23. Implementation of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy - Change of Designations on each Time Bound up-gradation on functional basis: On our persuasion, Management Committee of BSNL Board directed PGM Pers. to discuss and take the views of all the Stake holder Executive Associations and thereafter bring to BSNL MC for clearance. Accordingly, PGM (Pers) conducted meetings with all the Stake holders, wherein AIBSNLEA submitted its views/suggestions emphasizing the implementation of Khan Committee report in true sense i.e. Time Bound Non-Post Based functional promotions should be available up-to AGM level, senior SDE should not be inducted as functional post, all AGMs/ CAOs completed 4 years of regular service should be designated as Jt. DGM and the bench mark for promotions should be on numerical basis to minimize the droppings, the residency period from SDE to DE / AO to CAO should be 5 years instead of 12 years, reference point for implementation of CPSU CH should be date of last CPC conducted or the year of Recruitment and implementation of SC/ST roster as per DOPT instructions etc. Among these suggestions, Management considered some suggestions i.e. Time Bound Non-Post Based functional promotions made available up-to AGM level, AGMs/ CAOs completed 4 years of regular service are to be designated as Jt. DGM and the bench mark for promotions are on numerical basis. AIBSNLEA efforts are continuing for the consideration of remaining suggestions i.e. senior SDE should not be inducted as functional post, the residency period from SDE to DE / AO to CAO should be 7 years instead of 12 years and implementation of SC/ST roster as per DOPT instructions etc. BSNL Board has approved the CPSU CH w.e.f. 01.07.2018.

06.07.2020  GS, AIBSNLEA writes to Shri P.K.Purwar, CMD BSNL  and requested for immediate  issuance of Regular Promotions  in all the Streams/Grades  in order to fill up the huge vacuum created due to VRS-2019 and to maintain the vast BSNL Telecom Network fault free and the Administrative Offices efficiently.  AIBSNLEA strongly oppose any look-after arrangement in higher grade

Thousands of Executives in Higher Scales are working in the entry level of

JTO equivalent grades for 5 to 30 years and waiting for their 1st promotion

i)JTOs recruited from 1988 in Arch wing,

ii) JTOs recruited from 1997 in Electrical and Telecom Factory wings,

iii)Thousands of JTOs in Telecom wing from 1999, 2001 to 2008, 2010,2013 etc.,

iv)JTOs recruited in 1998 in Civil Wing are waiting.

Like that:

SDE(C)s are waiting for EE(C) promotion from 1998

SDE(E)s are waiting for EE(E) promotion from 2000

SDE(TF)s are waiting for AGM(TF) promotion from 2001

SDE(T)s are waiting for AGM(T) promotion from 2004

AOs are waiting for CAO promotion from 2008.

Like that promotion from PA to PS, PS to PPS and CSS Cadres are also held up.

It is observed that, BSNL Management was deliberately dragging the Promotion and putting the career of the Young Executives at great risk. At the early stage of their career itself, they are getting de-motivated and demoralized. But to our surprise, there are no hurdles in the Promotion at the Top level. It is pertinent to mention that Un-interrupted promotions orders were issued in the grade of GM and CGM level, in some cases excess promotions were also given at GM and CGM level for which BSNL Management is not having any reluctance at all. Even on their last working day, some ITS Officers were given promotion, we welcome that. But thousands of Absorbed BSNL Executives were retired without getting due promotion when there was no hindrance for giving them promotion.

When a Group A Officer in BSNL gets Time bound Promotion along with designation change from E4 to E9 Scale with the designations of Asst General Manager ->Dy General Manger ->Jt GM ->Addl GM in 17 years and then GM to Sr GM also, but a JTO(T) joined in 1999 ,2001 to 2008, 2010 and 2013 is still continuing as JTO, JTO(Arch) joined in 1988 still continuing as JTO, JTOs recruited from 1997 in Electrical and Telecom Factory wings are continuing as JTOs and JTOs recruited in 1998 in Civil Wing are continuing as JTOs.

All the Executives are expected that the due promotion will be given during the implementation of VRS. But even 5 months after the VRS, nothing is moving in  BSNL CO and making the situation very worst. There is a huge stagnation in promotion among different wings.

Most of the Executives are drawing Two to Four Stages in the higher Scales than their Substantive Scale/Grade viz., a JTO of E-1 Scale is drawing E-4/ E-5 (AGM/DGM) scale and a SDE or AO equivalent of E-2 scale is drawing E-5/E-6 (DGM/SG-DGM) Scales and waiting for their Regular Promotions from years together. Since the Executives are already working/drawing the higher scales, promotion is not going to make any financial implication either to BSNL or DoT. The regular promotion orders can be issued from among the Executives working in higher scales.

AIBSNLEA strongly oppose any look-after arrangement in higher grade but we demand immediate promotions on ‘Regular Basis’, considering the post VRS vacuum. If immediate steps are not taken, Services will be severely affected since the Executives are reluctant to take higher responsibilities on short-term/temporary basis.

04.07.2020   GS, AIBSNLEA writes to Shri P.K.Purwar, CMD BSNL and requested for immediate creation of Trust/Fund  for Post Retirement Medical Benefit for BSNL Recruits and releasing the  full pending arrears to the  Trust with effect from 01.01.2007 so as to mitigate the suffering being faced/would be faced  by the BSNL Direct Recruits and their families after VRS, Retirement,  Death etc., and to avoid any resentment and frustration among the BSNL Direct Recruits:-

                                             Suggestions of AIBSNLEA

1.     PRMB should be a well defined contribution just like Superannuation Pension fund, EPFO Contribution ,Gratuity Fund etc.,

2.     This 3.3% of PRMB should be made as Defined contribution & Separate BSNL PRMB Trust should be formed otherwise this 3.3% contribution has no meaning & it should not be counted for Superannuation Benefits contribution.

3.     The effective date of creation of the Trust/Fund for Post Retirement Medical Benefit for the Direct Recruits Employees of BSNL must be 01.01.2007 i.e., the date of effect of 2nd PRC recommendations otherwise it will be a gross injustice to the BSNL Direct Recruits.

2nd Membership Verification of Executives Association on 18.08.2020

Vote & Support AIBSNLEA

to save BSNL and its Executives

Dear Comrades!

Today, AIBSNLEA, the only Association actually represents all the Streams/ Cadres in BSNL and taken up the issues pertaining to the Executives of all the Streams with utmost sincerity and  without any biased manner since last 16 years filed the nomination for participating in the Second MVP.  

AIBSNLEA CHQ today insisted the BSNL Management to ensure the following for the conduction of 2^nd MVP in a free and fair manner,

1)  Special Permission to be obtained from Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Health for continuous extensive travel by the Central Head Quarters Leaders/Circle Secretaries in Flights/Trains/Buses throughout India for 2nd MVP Campaign without quarantine since MHA has notified compulsory quarantine for those who are travelled by Flights, Trains and buses from one State to another and Inter Districts from 5 to 14 days according to the Pandemic situation in the concerned State/District.

2)  Since Mass gathering and conduction of meetings for 2^nd MVP canvassing has also banned by the MHA, hence Special Permission is to be obtained from the MHA/ concerned State Authorities i.e., from Chief Secretaries/Director General of Police/ District Collectors for conducting 2nd MVP Canvass meetings at District Head Quarters/State Capital, wherein Central/Circle/District Office bearers will participate. It is pertinent to mention that our members are working in the SSAs and SDCAs throughout India hence 2nd MVP Campaign should reach each and every Voter, as every Voter wants to listen their Leaders.  It is our Democratic Right to canvass for the 2nd MVP throughout India and it should not be restricted.

3)  100% BSNL Executives are not able to reach the Polling booths on the day of polling since Public Transport, Metro, Local Train Services are not available in many places. Hence, Vehicles should be provided by the BSNL Management to those executives not able to come to Polling Booths for casting their votes.

4)  Special Permission to be obtained from Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Health and concerned State Authorities for the movement of BSNL Executives from the containment Zones and Hot Spots for canvassing and to reach the Polling Booths to cast their votes.

5)  MHA has recently issued new guidelines on June 29, 2020 for Unlock-2, wherein many restrictions are continued till 31.07.2020 and may be further extended for August 2020, also.

6)  If conduction of 2nd MVP leads to any mis-happenings or untoward incidents, it will be the Sole responsibility of the BSNL Management and Special Insurance Coverage should be arranged for all the Executives before the conduction of 2nd MVP since there is a serious Life threat due to Covid-19.

All the Circle Secretaries/ District Secretaries are advised to form Committees and conduct meetings through Video Conferences, wherever necessary with the involvement of Organizing Secretary/CHQ Office bearers, and motivate the Activists to collect and submit the membership forms to the concerned DDO before 15th July’ 2020 duly filled in by the new members in each Circle/SSA/Branch etc..

All the CHQ/CWC Members/Circle/SSA/Branch Office bearers, activists and members are requested to interact with each and every Executive, explaining the Achievements, Progress and Status of the issues taken up by AIBSNLEA CHQ/Circle.

All the members are requested not to be misguided by the Malice/Mischievous Propaganda/Campaign in the Social Media by the vested interested groups/Mongers. 

We request all the BSNL Executives to analyze the facts, approach of AIBSNLEA on the issues of all disciplines, quick action thereon by AIBSNLEA, and then cast your vote in favour of AIBSNLEA so that the future of the Executives is secured and BSNL is saved…

Friends...We, (AIBSNLEA) always believe on doing work on ground level. We always believe that actions speak louder than the words...We work for the whole Fraternity. It is our utmost priority that none of the Executive is at loss.

In order to protect the interests of Executives in the years to come, it is the need of the hour to cast Your Votes in favour the AIBSNLEA and make it as No.1 Association.

Please Strengthen AIBSNLEA!

MAKE AIBSNLEA No. 1 Association!   

AIBSNLEA  ZINDABAD !
