DS TVM Binu R and Com.Harilal
had an agenda meeting with GM(A/HR)
&GM(Kollam BA ) Shri.Sathesh
R on the Unlawful and unfortunate withholding of pensionary benefits
of erstwhile O-JTOs in some BAs of Kerala Circle uncaring rather challenging the corporate office’s and subsequent Kerala Circle office’s clear directions in black and white to no
recovery till further direction from corporate office (Letter. No
.3-8/2010-Estt-IV Dated 3rd
June,2016 and No. HR-III/2-5/JT0(O)
pay fixation/2012/part-I/52 dated 16/8/2016.)
Smt.Ponnammal R DGM(HR) , Smt
Sreelatha S DGM(ERP&CSC) , Smt.
Sudha P Nair AGM (HR) , Shri. Mukunthan K CAO (Taxation) and Shri.
Muraleedharan S AGM (Legal-II) have also been present as
per the instruction of GM. As per Corporate office order No.5-4/2004/Pers-IV
dt. 13.5.2004 JTO screening test qualified TTAs who
did not get regular promotion were imparted Phase- I Training and were posted
on officiating basis in the year 2004-2005. However their pay was restricted
vide FR.35 by which an officiating employee gets an additional amount of Rs
1000/- per month. OJTOs in Kerala
filed cases in High court of Kerala for their eligible Fr 22 1 (a)
1 pay fixation. The Hon court directed BSNL to award the
eligible pay fixation of Fr 22 1 (a) 1. Though BSNL had challenged
the same in Hon Kerala HC pay has been continued in Kerala Circle. The case in HC continued
till July 2017. Mean while OJTOs of Other Circle filed cases to get their pay parity with Kerala OJTOs in various courts
in 2010 itself. Naturally have won the benefit of Fr 22 1 (a) 1 at all levels of courts
from CATs, PCAT to Delhi HC. Finally
Hon SC on SLP(C) No. 4553/2012 in PCAT OA No.1282/2010 directed
BSNL to extend
pay parity to all other OJTOs in other circles at par with OJTOs of Kerala .
However Hon SC had given the liberty to BSNL for recovering the excess pay, if BSNL arguments
against awarding of FR 22 1 (a) 1 will be upheld in the case filed against OJTOs in Kerala HC (14 writ petitions) . The Hon. Ernakulam
HC DB through WPC NOs : 7723 23850 , 1735 of 2010 and OP (CAT) No:2107
against TA NOs : 84 to 97/2008 On 15th September 2017 HC judgement favourable that “
The finding rendered by the Tribunal
that fixation has to be effected based on FR 22 (1) (a) (1) is perfectly within the four walls of law
and is not assailable “ Even
though Hon SC had already ordered (Through SLP (C) 4553/2012)that Kerala HC order would be final in this case. BSNL once
again tried to file another SLP in Hon SC in july 2018
( SLP 19274/2018, 19271/2018,19310/2018 AND
19304/2018) against Kerala HC order and these cases were dismissed by SC in favor of OJTOs. After a long legal war of
13 years from 2005 to 2018 and failing all the cases in all levels of courts, Fr 22 1 (a) 1 pay fixation accepted by BSNL
management and accordingly an order issued on 18th Sept 2018. (No-3-8/2010-Estt-IV
dtd 18/09/2018 ) . In this
generalized order issued for implementing Fr 22 1 (a) 1 pay and now all along
India it is implemented undisputedly. Officiating
JTOs and 2nd PRC pay fixation :
Corporate office issued an order dtd 22/12/2015 (Letter No-3-32/2013/Estt-IV DTD 22/12/2015 ) for the pay calculation for
post 2nd PRC period . As per this order officiating
JTOs to be reverted to substantive cadre and pay fixation to be done as per
model calculation mentioned in this letter w.e.f
01-01-2007. In Kerala the officiating process has been started from year 2004
and continued till 2016 July . The
OJTOs have been drawing JTO IDA
pay during this period. They had not been reverted to TTAs in 01-01-2007. As
per this belated order the pay is lesser than what they are already in from
01-01-2007. So AIBSNLEA Challenged this order in Hon Principal CAT New Delhi vide OA 100/892/2016. Principal CAT issued an interim order for non
recovery of pay till finalization of the case. On the basis of interim order
corporate office issued an order on 03/06/2016 for non recovery of pay (No:3-8/2010-Estt-IV dtd 03/06/2016).
This order was fully endorsed by
Kerala circle to All heads of SSAs that “ RECOVERY MAY NOT BE EFFECTED
TILL FURTHER ORDERS FROM CORPORATE OFFICE” No:HR-III/2-5/JTO(O)
Pay Fixation/2012/part-1/52 dtd 16/8/16). It is
very clear that recovery of any amount may not be made from the officiating
JTOS until the finalization of OA 100/892/2016. This court case is not
finalized till date. Next hearing date is 12/09/2019. What withholding
happening in Kerala while an employee is retiring amounts to Recovery only. All
our arguments have been very patiently listened by
GM Shri.Sathesh very empathetically. GM replied it
is a very genuine case. As long as the corporate office clear guidance is not
there for recovery , no recovery must not be made
and the withholding can also be avoided . GM has informed that, for some more
clear clarification on the matter one letter is send to corporate office . He assured
to give instructions to BAs to release the amount withheld and to stop any such
withholding from pentionary benefits till corporate
office directed to do so. We extended sincere regards to GM Shri.Sathesh for his very positive and employee
helping standpoint he has been
showcasing . We have also extended
sincere thanks to all the officers present from management side. |

Chairman and GS met
the Senior Officers in DoT and enquired about the outcome of the Meeting held
in PMO convened by the Principal Secretary to PM Shri
Nripendra Misra Ji on 20.08.2019. The queries raised by the Ministry of
Finance on Revival Plan of BSNL has been discussed in detail in the meeting
wherein Group of Secretaries including Secretary (Telecom) Shri Anshu Prakash
ji, CMD BSNL Shri PK Purwar ji were also present.
The PMO intervene in the matter to resolve the bottleneck raised by MoF on the proposed revival package of BSNL. It is
reliably learnt that after detailed discussions the following decisions have
been taken:- 1) VRS Package to BSNL Employees: VRS
Package is eligible for BSNL Employees who are attaining the Age of 50 years
& above. a) The Employees opting VRS will get cash payment of Ex-
gratia amount in single go or maximum in 5 instalments on
optional basis for availing Income Tax benefit. b) The formula for VRS Package is (Ex-gratia + Pension) or
125% of the Salary (Pay + IDA), whichever is less. c) The Employees having 40 months Service left will
get full Salary benefits. d) Leave Encashment & Pension (without
Commutation) will be paid at the time of VR but the Gratuity and Commutation
Value of Pension Payment will be deferred till they attain the age of
Superannuation. During the intervening period from the date of VR to the date
of attain the age of Superannuation, Employees will get interest @ 8% on
their Gratuity amount. e) The Ex-gratia amount for VRS will be paid in Cash by
BSNL by issuing of Bonds on the basis of the Sovereign guarantee to be given
by the DoT. 50% of interest liability on bonds will be born
by Govt. Through this process, Govt. is estimating that the present
staff strength will be reduced to 62000 from the present strength of 1.60 lakhs. 2) The roll out of age from 60 years to 58 years: The roll
out of age from 60 years to 58 years in respect of BSNL Employees will
be followed by VRS. 3) 4G Spectrum allocation to BSNL: Rs.14,000 Crores will be borne by the
Govt for 4G Spectrum allocation to BSNL. 4) BSNL Land Monetization proposal: The
proposal for monetization of BSNL Land, OFC & Towers has been accepted
which will be monitored by a Committee consisting of the officers from BSNL,
MTNL, DoT and DIPAM. 5) Proposal for SPV for land monetization and merger of

Ravi Sankar Prasad ji
with in day or two for approval and further circulated to the concerned
Ministries. It is expected that Cabinet approval for the Revival Package of
BSNL will get within the 1st or 2nd week of
September 2019, if all the things go smoothly. It is also reliably learnt that window for VRS Package will
be opened for One Month and all the process will be settled within two
months. AIBSNLEA is of the firm opinion that as a stakeholder and
one of the Major Recognised Associations in BSNL, we should be called for
discussion before finalization of VRS Proposal. As per AIBSNLEA 6th AIC
decision, we demand the BSNL Management that the VRS Proposal should be
linked with 3rd PRC fitment. AIBSNLEA strongly hope that the
BSNL Management will call us for discussion in this regard. However, as per the 6th AIC decision AIBSNLEA
will strongly oppose the move of roll out of retirement age from 60 to 58
years. |

AUAB calls Protest Lunch hour Demonstration on
21.08.2019 (tomorrow) against the reduction of retirement age from 60 to 58
years:- AUAB has reliably learnt that the BSNL Board of
Directors meeting is scheduled to be held on 21.08.2019, wherein the agenda
of reduction of retirement age of BSNL employees from 60 to 58 is likely to
be discussed. We are receiving the news from various sources that the Govt.
is considering the proposal of roll out of retirement age of BSNL Employees
from 60 to 58. It is totally unwarranted and it is against the assurance
given by the Union Cabinet in the year 2000 at the time of Corporatization of
BSNL. All the DoT recruited employees are enjoying the facilities of age of
superannuation at 60 years w.e.f. 31.05.1998. In
view of this, we have to strongly protest the move of the BSNL Board to
reduce the retirement age from 60 to 58. Hence, AUAB calls upon the entire Executives and
Non-Executives of BSNL to hold lunch hour demonstrations on 21.08.2019
(tomorrow) to protest against the proposed move of the BSNL Board to reduce
the retirement age from 60 to 58. All
the Circle Secretaries/ District Secretaries are requested to coordinate with
the constituent Unions/ Associations of AUAB and make the Protest Lunch Hour
Demonstration on 21.08.2019 a Grand Success. |

and DS TVM Com.Binu had an agenda meeting with CGMT
Kerala Dr.PT Mathew on 30-07-2019 , Wednesday evening . GM
(A/HR) Shri. Sathesh
R was also present all along the meeting . The
meeting was very fruitful. The following points have been discussed.
No
dumping of MSAN (Multi Service Access Node) equipments to
Kerala:
It is learned that BSNL has placed APO for 5600 Nos of MSAN (Multi Service Access Node) equipments and
out of that 660 numbers
are to Kerala circle for
providing VDSL and GPON ports. We requested CGMT to assess the VDSL
market and our practicability to extend VDSL connections before accepting the
equipments with VDSL ports . So much of unloaded NGN
BB ports are available with all NGN exchanges. While Kerala trying for a
break even, at least during this FY dumping of these equipments may pull down
the financial performance of our Circle. CGMT shared our concern and replied
that Kerala Circle request for very minimum equipments only. Availability of at least one BSNL staff in every exchanges : In the very competitive telecom market
, BSNL is blessed with a plenty of telephone exchanges at almost all
important places. We suggested the need of at least one BSNL staff per
exchange to maintain the customer base and expanding the same. The multiple
difficulties due to the staff unavailability are discussed. CGMT assured to
do the same without delay. withholding of pension benefits of erstwhile
O-JTOs in Kerala : It is very unfortunate that withholding of pension benefits
of erstwhile O-JTOs started happening recently in some BAs of Kerala Circle
challenging Kerala Circle office clear directions in black and white as
Letter No. HR-III/2-5/JTO(o) Pay
Fixation/2012/Part-1/52dated 16/08/2016
.Kerala Circle released the letter based on Corporate Office Letter on
03-06-2016 obeying various court directions . The wrong and confusing
fixation of pay of O-JTOs period under FR221a1 in connection with 2nd
PRC ; CO Letter no 3-32/2013/Estt-IV is already
challenged in PCAT ND by AIBSNLEA. It is coming up for hearing on 12th Sept
2019. For all the erstwhile O-JTOs pay revision as on 01.01.2007 ( 2nd PRC)
can only be done on the JTO pay scale of 9850-200-14500 as it was done
for others employees . AIBSNLEA CHQ , in many times
, requested Corporate office through detailed letter to issue instruction for
revision of pay as on 01.01.2007 for the officiating JTOs with respect to the
basic pay they were drawing in the pay scale of 9850-14500. Hon. CAT/HC and SC are already verdicted
very favorably to fix the pay of these officiating JTOs as FR 22(1)(a)(1) without the restriction of FR35. Subsequently, BSNL has extended the pay fixation benefit on
officiating promotion under FR22(1)(a)(1) in the pay scale 9850-14500. Thus naturally no
legitimate ways for either withholding or recovery of any single paisa from
the pension benefits of these executives. After long discussion on the matter ,
we requested CGMT to issue clear instructions to all BAs to not withheld
/recover any amount from pension benefits of erstwhile O-JTOs and release all the amount withheld from
pension benefits , if any . CGMT directed GM(A/HR)
to issue instructions to BAs in this regard and get more clarifications from
Corporate office if needed. Pending requests transfer orders for
LICE JTOs who had been posted
in Feb 2017 : We requested to release all the JTOs. Almost
all of them can be released without any substitute since sufficient JTOs are
available .In Thrissur around 5 JTOs joined back after their
long stay tenure . Thus all the requesters from Thrissur
could have
been released . Many times we have requested the same at all levels of
DGM/GM/CGM. CGMT assured to release them shortly. Pending high range Company coat transfer to bring
back two year tenure completed executives in Ernakulam
BA : This pending matter is discussed with CGMT and we requested
to do the same as per the directions from corporate office that CGMT can
exercise the provision. On our strong request , CGMT
directed GM (A/HR) to do the same. Unprecedented date of joining
of LDCE JTOs in the F/N of 31/12/2017 (Sunday) instead of 01/01/2018 at Ernakulam BA: The matter of a large anomaly
in our circle is discussed seriously and the trailing letter is submitted to
CGMT. Copy of this letter is submitted to GM(A/HR) and DGM(HR) Sub:- Unprecedented
permission for date of joining of LDCE JTOs
in the F/N of 31/12/2017 (Sunday) instead
of the legitimate date 01/01/2018 at Ernakulum BA challenging all
rules and regulations in BSNL : no action rather helplessness from Kerala
Circle against the wrong doing
propelling individual / association
to move court against the stoic silence of Circle management reg Kindly recall the matter in subject that many times we have submitted
to your kind notice but no action has been initiated from your office, so
far. As per the letter AGM(Admn) Lr.
No.ST/EK-214/LDCE/LICE/2016-17/JTOs/109 dtd 30/12/2017, Ernakulam BA has issued
posting order to 10 LICE JTOs who have completed their induction
training w.e.f.25/09/2017 to 02/12/2017 from RTTC TVM/ CTTC Indore and field
training from 04/12/2017 to 30/12/2017 at ENK BA are permitted to join
on Sunday , 31/12/2017 on mysterious reasons . Even though
the cadre is technical and they were posted to various field units, no
controlling officer will be available in the office on a closed holiday for
their reporting and also they were not assigned any duty on that day. . As you are aware of, after training almost all
executives/non-executives are relieved from training centre on the F/N of Saturday , if not second Saturday and they can join on subsequent
Monday only . It is learned from circle office that ,
after the wrongful doing of Ernakulam BA , many requests seeking permission to join
on Saturday are turned down citing the prevailing rules not permitting the
joining on Sunday. Hence, we strongly request your good office to either
revert the joining date of these 10 JTOs to the eligible date of 01/01/2018 or
permit all executives/non-executives who have joined on Monday after their
basic training to join on Sunday to enjoy benefits if any. Otherwise it will
initiate an exodus of litigations of such cases right from the beginning of
DOT/BSNL. Further, Circle Office Kerala only would be responsible for the
same Sir, we request your good office to have an enquiry into the background
that leads the
serious lapse of clear nepotism challenging all the BSNL rules
and regulations for the better performance of Kerala Circle . Kindly share
the findings of the lapses to the undersigned. After wide discussion, CGMT convinced the real mysterious
irregularity happened at Ernakulum BA and directed GM(A/HR)
to issue immediate directions to PGM Ernakulam to clear off the wrong doing . Long Pending CAO-DGM LA promotion orders : We submitted that understandably the file for the same is with
CGMT for some time and requested to release the promotion orders without
delay. CGMT assured to release the orders shortly. Pending
AO-CAO LA promotion orders : We
requested to release the promotion orders. CGMT replied that no file is
pending in this regard . All DS are requested to assess the vacancies in your BA and
initiate the process of sending the request to circle office
. All other pending cases were also discussed. We extended
sincere gratitude to CGMT Dr.PT Mathew for his kind consideration to all our
grievances. Later we met GM (A/HR) Shri.Sathesh R and elaborated all the points those CGMT
directed GM(A/HR) to act. GM assured to take up all
the matters without delay. |

Stake holders of the Company for discussing about the Revival Plan of BSNL ,
even though AIBSNLEA as well as AUAB have written the letters to the Hon’ble MoC for inviting us for
discussions regarding the Revival Package. However, keeping in view the
present scenario & above developments, AUAB has decided to conduct the
meeting on 01.08.2019 to discuss about the future course of action. AIBSNLEA will strongly
oppose the roll out of Retirement Age from 60 years to 58 years which is in
violation of Absorption terms and conditions of BSNL Employees and
threat to Job Security. |

06-07-2019 CS , CVP, ACS, DS TVM met DGM
HR Smt. Ponnammal R
and
discussed the following Date of joining of LDCE JTOs
in the F/N of 31/12/2017 (Sunday) instead of 01/01/2018: As per the letter AGM(Admn) Lr.
No.ST/EK-214/LDCE/LICE/2016-17/JTOs/109 dtd
30/12/2017, posting order has been issued to 10 LICE JTOs who have
completed their induction training w.e.f.25/09/2017 to 02/12/2017 at RTTC
TVM/ CTTC Indore and field training from 04/12/2017 to 30/12/2017 at ENK BA are
permitted to join on Sunday , 31/12/2017
on mysterious reasons , Even though the cadre is
technical and they were posted to various field units, no controlling officer
will be available in the office on a closed holiday for their reporting and
also they were not assigned any duty on that day. It has been conveyed to
them that as per presidency of BSNL and permitted rules they could join only
on 01/01/2018 . We argued that it will start
multiple litigations for a large number of such cases right from the
beginning of DOT/BSNL. DGM (HR) totally shared the concern and informed that
some individual request seeking permission to join on Sunday/holidays reached
circle office at many times and those seeking were outrightly
turned down stating the prevailing rules . Such cases cannot be permitted by
rules. The case happened at Ernakulam is unaware
and suggested to represent with details . We would
represent the case afresh. Pending Transfer orders on Request
of JTOs and other cadres & High range rotational transfer at Ernakulam BA: We sought the status of the cases. DGM(HR)
replies that as per AIBSNLEA’s
discussion with GM(A/HR) during the last meeting , Circle office is
exploring the possibilities of releasing the orders without affecting the
working of BAs. We requested to speed up the matter and madam assured to do the same. Regularization
of the date of Promotion of AGMs/DEs as 29.6.2018: We sought the
delay in releasing the very legitimate order to regularize of the date of
Promotion of AGMs/DEs as 29.6.2018 irrespective of their date of joining duty
to avoid the discrepancies among the first order and subsequent orders from
AGM (Pers.I) BSNL CO, New Delhi Letter dated
4.7.2018, 5.7.2018 & 6.7.2018. DGM(HR)
replied that as per the request of AIBSNLEA , competent authority approved
the correction on date . The subsequent order to be released to CO/BAs is ready
and submitted to GM (A/HR) for information. It will be released to all field
units today or by tomorrow. Later we met GM (A/HR) and he assured to release
the orders without delay. |

06-07-2019 Congrats
comrades… The
pending transfer orders of AO/JAO and AO to CAO (LA) orders are released
without anymore further delay due to the timely intervention of AIBSNLEA at
PGM-F level. We extend sincere thanks to PGM F Shri.KK
Vel for his kind intervention to fulfill
the assurance to us on 02-07-2019
. AO-CAO (LA) orders are released
partially. CAO-DGM(LA) orders are also pending . We
are on our efforts to release these orders . Now
the only pending transfer orders are that of LICE JTOs .
We submitted all the details to the CGMT , GM(A/HR)
and at DGM(HR) level that almost all of them can be relieved without
substitute due to availability of sufficient executives at the BAs. For
example in Thrissur BA recently 6 executives of
JTO/SDE cadres joined. Hence, all the transfer requesters from this BA can be
relived immediately. It is understood
that circle office is exploring the possibility. Hopefully these transfer
orders would be issued shortly |

transfer orders of AOs who have completed two years of tenure as assured by

transfers only happening occasionally and that too delaying beyond assurances
not seems fair. Orders for DGM LA are also not happened as agreed. PGM

10-05-2019 DE to DGM promotion: AIBSNLEA is making sincere efforts for DE to DGM promotion
to fill-up all vacant DGM posts on Adhoc basis. Accordingly
Pers. Cell of BSNL CO has initiated the process of DE to DGM promotion by
calling APAR and VCR. All the APAR/ VCRs of
the eligible DEs have been received in Pers. Cell. The approval for
conducting CPC from DE to DGM yet to be received by Pers. Cell from the
competent authority. The seniority list of SDEs have
been finalized by Pers. cell on the basis of rule 206 and has been submitted
to the competent authority for approval. After the approval on SDE seniority
list, the DE seniority list is finalized and
will be submitted to the competent authority for approval. As per the
direction given by Hon’ble CAT Chandigarh CPC will
be expedited on finalization of DEs seniority list. The CPC will be expedited after the approval of the
competent authority on SDEs and DE seniority list only. Thus
promotion orders from DE to DGM may be expected in the next week only. Some associations is demanding DE to DGM promotion on
regular basis ignoring the fact that the DGMs promoted on regular basis will
not be governed by EPP and will be deprived from getting time bound promotion
in E6 grade which is due in most of the cases in the month of October 2019.
Most of the DEs are at present stagnated in the E5 grade, and on getting E6
grade under EPP they will be benefited by Two increments. In case these DGMs
are promoted for regular basis then they will be govern by BSNL MSRR
provisions only and will be entitled for next time bound promotion in E7
grade after 5 year as Jt. GM. Thus these regularly promoted DGMs will be debarred to get
benefit of Time bound promotion in E6 grade under EPP. The fact remains
that most of the DGMs being promoted in CPC will retire within 5 years in the
grade of E5 only. In this manner these executives will be getting two increment less in their pay as well as pensionery
benefits. Some Association is claiming that let these
promotion order be issued on regular basis thereafter they will get
modified /amended the BSNL MSRR / EPP provisions. It is pertinent to
mentioned that this association is well aware of
present ruling position then why they kept mum so far for
amending the rules and how they are confident to get amended these rules
immediately . it seems this association is
interested to put these DGMs in Financial loss for their whole life for which
reasons are best known to them. AIBSNLEA knowing all these facts is demanding
DGM promotion on adhoc basis immediately and DGM
regular promotion after Nov 2019. DOP&PW advice to DOT on VRS in BSNL / MTNL: It is understood that DOP&PW has given advice to
DOT on implementation of VRS in BSNL/MTNL i.e. VRS scheme proposed by DoT is
as per DPE guidelines and is relevant for the employees of PSUs, who do not
get pension under CCS Pension Rule on Volunteer Retirement. The pension of
BSNL/ MTNL employees is regulated by CCS Pension rule and the same is paid by
the Govt. from Consolidate Fund of India. Rule 37 A of CCS (P) Rule provides
for volunteer retirement after completion of 10 years combined qualifying
service these employees of BSNL/MTNL could be encouraged to go on volunteer
retirement under the existing rule 37 A instead of offering the Ex gratia in
addition to the normal pensionary benefits
available in terms of rule 37 A of CCS (Pension) rules. In accordance with the rule 37 A of those rules, their
pension is also be paid by the Govt. DoT may, therefore, examine in
consultation with DoPT whether, instead of offering
them a Special Volunteer Retirement Scheme (VRS), these employees could be
transferred to surplus cell for redeployment in DoT or other Govt.
Departments of the Central Govt. for the remaining period of their service in
accordance with the scheme of DoPT for redeployment
of the surplus staff. From the above, it seems that DoP&PW
is not in favour of imposing VRS to those employees who have taken absorption
in BSNL/MTNL and opted for combined service and are governed for Govt.
pension under rule 37 A. Hence, AIBSNLEA
demands DoT/ Govt. to extent financial support to BSNL/MTNL for their growth , maintenance & operations as per the
recommendation given by the GoM earlier in 2013-14. |

year completed LICE JTOs : We requested to issue the transfer orders due to availability of sufficient JTOs

but the seniors are not brought back yet to parent BA is an unhappy
situation. GM assured to discuss the matter with CGMT for a fruitful result. |
