23.11.2015: Forum
core committee meeting with CMD BSNL:
GS along with the other members of the core committee of
Forum of BSNL Unions/ Associations met CMD BSNL to discuss
regarding viability of BSNL. CMD appraised about the present
financial health of BSNL wherein he explained that recently
in the press conference after the annual GB meeting of BSNL
he clarified that this FY 2014-15 BSNL losses is about 8600
Crores in comparison of last year 2013-14 loss of Rs.6900
crores. This about 1800 crores losses increased due to new
changed rules of depreciation method otherwise BSNL's loss
could have been only Rs. 5900 crores on old rules of
depreciation method. In the old method the depreciation was
fixed but in the FY 2014-15 it has changed on the basis of
life of equipment, hence the rate of depreciation has
increased. In fact during the FY 2014-15 the positive
developments have taken places as under.
4.16 TOP line services has increased during the highest
level in the last five years and its biggest achievement
In the FY 2013-14 there was operational loss but in the
year 2014-15 there is operational profit.
At present BSNL have only Rs. 6000 crores bank loan
against CAPEX wherein other telecos have huge bank loan
liability
Trend to increase the operational profit should
continue this year also
Rs 15000 Crores are being spent on salary expenditure
The maintenance and operational expenditure is being
incurred from the current financial flow of Rs. 28000
Crores
GSM Phase seven expansion is taking place in North South
and East zone, hence 50% to 100% expansion is taking

BSNL Pensioners are still deprived of 78.2%
fitment benefit
All the BSNL Employees retiring after 10th June
2013 have been granted benefit of 50% IDA merger
amounting to 78.2% IDA (as on 1/1/2007) vide Presidential
Order issued under DOT Memo No.61-01/2012-SU dated 10th
June 2013, but even after lapse of two and a half years the
same benefit of 50% IDA merger has not been extended to BSNL
Pensioners retiring between 1/10/2000 and 9/6/2013 in spite
of repeated efforts and assurances given by DoT in various
SCOVA meetings and other Union/Association forums.
The Cabinet Note to extend the benefit of 50% IDA merger to
BSNL pensioners amounting to 78.2% as on 1/1/2007 was moved
by DoT in February 2014 for inter-Ministerial circulation to
DOP & W, DPE and DOE. After the clearance from DOP&W and
DPE, the DOE in October 2014 suggested DOT with a caveat
that DOT should take Cabinet approval for granting benefit
of 50% IDA merger to BSNL pensioners also as granted to the
serving employees of BSNL on 10th June 2013.
In proposed Cabinet Note, DOT Finance included the issue of
annulment of the Cabinet decision dated 27/1/2005,
circulated vide DOT OM NO.1-45/2003-B dated 15/6/2006
regarding pensionary liability of BSNL because DOT Finance
observed that over a period of last two years or so the
expenses incurred towards payment of pension to DOT/BSNL
pensioners exceeded the 60% limit of TAX receipts by the
Government from BSNL/MTNL and BSNL was liable/supposed to
pay the excess expenditure as per DOT OM No. 1-45/2003-B
dated 15/6/2006.
The proposed annulment of Cabinet Decision dated 27/1/2005 is
not readily acceptable to Dept. of Expenditure and it has
raised many queries on 5/8/2015 in response to DoT?s
proposal and seeks detailed justification for annulment of
Cabinet Decision dated 27/1/2005.
The case is held up in DoT for want of proper justification on
this issue even though two previous Secretaries (T) have
supported the case that liability of BSNL was limited to
payment of Pension Contribution only as can be seen from DO
letter issued by Shri. Nripendra Misra, the then Secretary
DOT vide letter No.1-45/2003-B DATED 15/03/2005 addressed to
CMD BSNL. This was again reiterated vide OM
No.40-12/2007-Pen (T) dated 5th January 2009
issued by the then Secretary (T) Sri. Siddhartha Behura
after holding meeting with all the nodal Ministries as
disclosed under RTI queries. It was also learnt under RTI
query that the then Member (F) while agreeing to proposed
clarification dated 5/1/2009 also advised vide noting dated
24/12/2008 that the case for annulment of cabinet decision
dated 27/01/2005 should also be proposed simultaneously
because the said cabinet decision should not be left
unattended. Present Member (F) has also proposed annulment
of cabinet decision dated 27/01/2007 for BSNL pensioners.
But DoE is seriously questioning and seeking justification
for review of the cabinet decision dated 27/01/2005
regarding pensionary liability of BSNL. Now, the process is
held up and delayed in various sections of DoT, which are
finding it difficult to offer proper reply/justification in
this matter.
It is understood that some of the queries of DoE has been
clarified by the Internal Finance of DoT and remaining are
to be clarified by the Pension Cell of DoT. But, Pension
Cell has further sent the Cabinet Note to Internal Finance
of DoT to clarify the remaining queries also. Since, the
information pertains to Finance Wing only and the proposal
is still pending in Internal Finance of DoT. The DoE queries
are mainly regarding the BSNL pensioners retired prior to
01.10.2000 (about 96,000 Pensioners, Pension liability is
estimated about Rs. 1,415 Crores) from DoT and the BSNL
Pensioners retired after 01.10.2000 (about 1,66,000
Pensioners, Pension liability is about Rs. 3,132 Crores).
The benefit of 78.2% fitment has already been extended in
FCI and some other PSUs). As per DoE, the 60% pension
liability of BSNL Pensioners as per the existing provisions
of January 2005 order should continue since all the assets
and liabilities of the then DoT/DTS/DTO were transferred to
BSNL. However, in true sense, the liabilities have been
transferred to BSNL but the assets have not been transferred
to BSNL. Moreover, no loan has been given to BSNL from DoT
except the Notional loan of Rs. 7500/- Crores (Paper Loan
only) against which BSNL has paid interest amount @ 13.5 %
to DoT about Rs. 12,000/- Crores. The depreciation amount
during last 15 years is increasing year by year. BSNL is
continuously making losses for the last five - six years in
the tune of more than Rs. 40,000 Crores. Hence, all these
points are to be considered by DoT/DoE and withdraw the
arbitrary decision of 60:40 from Rule 37A for BSNL
Pensioners and sole responsibility of pension to BSNL
Pensioners should be borne by Govt. of India as per the Rule
37A.
Forum of BSNL Unions / Associations serious and concerted
efforts are needed in this regard to resolve the issue. Let,
the Forum to decide serious agitation on this issue
immediately.
