outstanding dues to BSNL- <<<Click here for letter>>> |

02-09-2019 : CHQ
News Meeting with CMD BSNL: GS, AGS (Finance) & Advisor (HQ) met CMD
BSNL and discussed regarding:- (1) Disbursement of salary for the Month of
August 2019:- We
enquired about the probable date of disbursement of Salary for August 2019.
CMD BSNL informed that he along with Secretary (T) met 5 Bank Authorities
including CMDs but no Bank is come forward to give any Loan to BSNL, even on
the basis of Letter of Comfort. However, BSNL Management had already written
a letter to Secretary (T) requesting for issuing Sovereign Guarantee to BSNL
for availing Loan. But CMD opined that Sovereign Guarantee will be issued
only by the Ministry of Finance. He further mentioned that we are trying our best
but it is not possible to disburse the Salary from BSNL’s own sources since
Statutory dues like TDS, GST etc. are also to be paid during first week of
September 2019. Hence, from the available sources of Cash flow of BSNL, Management
is not in a position to make any commitment regarding the date of
disbursement of salary for August 2019. (2) Revival Package & Financial Status of
BSNL - We enquired about the
status of BSNL revival package. CMD BSNL mentioned that the Ministry of
Finance has not given any clearance on the Revised Cabinet Memo on Revival
Package of BSNL submitted by DoT since the proposal for taking over of BSNL
Debts including outstanding bills through SPV has been dropped in the PMO
meeting. Hence, the clarity will be known only after the clearance from the
Ministry of Finance. (3) Achieving of targets given by the BSNL
Management: CMD
BSNL advised that all should come together and work hard and no stone left
unturned by each employee to achieve the various targets given by the
BSNL Management to maximize the Revenue and increase the Cash Flow. We
requested CMD BSNL to allot funds for small requirements in order to retain
the existing Customers/ Maintenance of Services, towards Electricity bills,
Hiring Vehicles bills and Mtce., and Labour Contractors bills etc. CMD BSNL
mentioned that funds are being released to all the Circles on piecemeal as
per the availability of the funds. (4) Request transfers in the cadre of DGM (T):- We requested that those DGMs who have already completed
more than two years may be considered for request transfers on ‘own cost
basis’ to their Home Circles as they have obeyed & honoured the transfer
orders issued by the BSNL Corporate Office. In this regard, GS AIBSNLEA has
already written a letter to CMD BSNL which may kindly be considered as the
DGMs are facing much problems in their old age of 58+. CMD BSNL assured that
the cases will be reviewed again. |

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

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. |

bottleneck raised by MoF on the proposed revival package of BSNL. It is

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

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. |

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. |

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.

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 |

20-06-2019 and discussed about the prevailing service issues of BSNL Kerala.
We expressed our heartfelt sorrow on the present hard time BSNL is passing through
due to some reasons for shutting down
of BTS by infra providers due to non-payment of rents ,
unavailability of labors for the

patiently listened our wordings and shared all our concerns. We extended our
sincere appreciation to CGMT Dr.PT

keep up the access networks in these difficult periods by extending
uninterrupted services to beloved customers through migrating shut down BTS to other infra providers , at least partially , while some circles are just mute spectators
on this issue. We requested to explore shutting down of the
non-profitable BTS/Exchanges to reduce the debt of Kerala Circle in the situation
wherein no financial support from the concerned. On an average BSNL spends
Rs.45,000 per month per BTS but the

telephone exchanges. How can we bare the bleeding without financial
assistance from the concerned? CGMT directed us to escalate the difficulties

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. |

04-05-2019 CS and DS TVM met GM(A/HR) , Kerala Circle , Shri. R.
Sathesh and requested to relieve off
all officers who are under order of transfer in ERP without delay . He
replied that some executives are already relieved. He assured to consider our
request after contacting BA heads. Regularization of the date of Promotion of
AGMs/DEs as 29.6.2018: We requested to regularize of the date of
Promotion of AGMs/DEs as 29.6.2018 irrespective of their date of joining duty
and extension of subsequent benefits if any with respect to the date of
Promotion on 29.6.2018 pursuant to the instructions contained in AGM (Pers.I)
BSNL CO, New Delhi Letter dated 4.7.2018, 5.7.2018 & 6.7.2018. As of now all the
AGMs/DEs promoted on the first list stands en block junior to all
other AGM/DEs joined subsequently . As per the latest Apex court direction,
the date of joining is the criteria to fix seniority. GM assured to look into the matter on deserving merit. Release of transfer orders on request of two
year completed LICE JTOs : We
requested to issue the transfer orders
due to availability of sufficient JTOs in the BAs. Moreover these unlucky
JTOs requested transfer belongs the first JTO batch. All the subsequent
batches of JTOs luckily got posting in their parent BA. This is a matter
deserving appreciation to management, 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. |
