relive all officers in ERP who are ordered for request transfer in August
2019 but not relieved so far . All the officers not
relieved so far are demotivated . They may be relieved immediately so that the executives
waiting for home town for around three years can join back and contribute
more to BSNL . GM assured to release the transfer in
ERP at the end of October 2019 , if they have not
been released till the time. Considering
Pending request transfers in continuation to the orders issued in August
2019: We remained our
prolonged request of releasing these pending orders right from August . GM informed that already directed DGM(HR) to put up all the pending requests for

Financial up gradation orders : We extended our
sincere appreciation to GM for the timely release of financial up gradation
orders especially in E5-E6 . We requested to
consider pending cases in E5-E6 from Thrissur , EKM etc BAs
those could also have been
considered along with the last DPC
. GM informed that no case is left mistakenly. All the cases wherein
VCs are received have been considered and for all the pending cases VC
clearance expected from corporate office . We
requested to release up gradation orders
at the earliest on reception of VCs as some of the senior officers in
DGM grade like Shri.Krishnan DGM Thrissur are
retiring this month on superannuation . He assured to take all efforts to
release the orders at the earliest. Posting of AO/JAO
under DE at Kollam BA against the assurance of GM(Kollam) to the DS Kollam Com.Amarthlal We extended our
strong protest to GM(A/HR) holding charge of Kollam BA against the orders released in Kollam BA at late hours on 04-10-2019 violating the
promise of GM to DS Kollam that JAOs posted in CSC
will not be linked under SDE/DE controlling officers. We are repeatedly
requesting management to post AO/JAO in CSCs against sanctioned posts though
AO/JAO Comrades are voluntarily coming forward to work in CSCs in an
encouraging manner
on a vision that our Engineering brethren can concentrate more
on field /Technical issues for the benefits of BSNL . However the cross
posting of officers in accounts vertical alone under Engineering vertical
cannot be appreciated by this association.
We demanded to keep the order , linking DE as controlling officer, pending at Kollam
. GM very patiently
heard all our submission and shared our views. He assured to give instructions to Kollam BA to keep the orders pending . AIBSNLEA is not
against posting of AO/JAO in CSCs . We requested to post JTOs under AO (CSCs)

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. |

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. |

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

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. |

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. |

the equally 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

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

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 |

who have completed two years of tenure as assured by PGMF. We submitted that
the ERP release of executives in engineering cadre, who have already under order of

assured to AIBSNLEA. In accounts vertical very minimal transfers only
happening occasionally and that too delaying beyond assurances not seems
fair. Orders for DGM LA are also not happened as agreed. PGM F patiently listened all our

met CGMT Kerala Dr.PT Mathew on
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
maintenance of BSNL services , unavailability of vehicles etc . CGMT
patiently listened our wordings and shared all our
concerns. We extended our sincere appreciation to CGMT Dr.PT Mathew on his relentless efforts to 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 earning falls below
Rs.10,000 in some locations . Same is the case of some telephone exchanges.
How can we bare the bleeding without financial assistance from the concerned?

solution that revitalize our BSNL . We

relieving of all the request transfer orders of SDE/JTO released in April 2019 , Considering request transfer of LICE JTO 2013-14 . We suggested that all
these JTOs who are requested for transfer can be released without substitute
as more than 500 numbers of JTOs as LICE ,DR ans
Rule 8 . We submitted the full details of the statistics to him , Regularization
of the date of Promotion of AGMs/DEs as 29.6.2018 , Pending PA-PS promotion

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
