08-01-2021 : CHQ news GS AIBSNLEA, AGS and
CHQ-Auditor met Shri P.K.
Purwar CMD, BSNL and discussed regarding: a) E-Tender for Planning,
Engineering, Supply, Installation, Testing, Commissioning and AMC of 4G
Mobile Net Work : We
enquired the CMD BSNL about the recent Detailed Notice Inviting E-Tender
issued on 01.01.2021, sought proposal through the (EOI) Expression Of
Interest from the Indian Companies for Planning, Engineering, Supply,
Installation, Testing, Commissioning and AMC of 4G Mobile Net Work. CMD, BSNL mentioned that as per the
approval of DoT on 29.12.2020, BSNL Board has
approved the proposal immediately and issued Tender Notification inviting
proposal through EOI for the procurement of Equipments, AMC etc., for the
tentative 57,000 4G Sites with prior Registration and Proof of Concept (POC)
from the Indian Companies interested in participating the upcoming 4G Tender
as per the initiative of GOI ÁTAMNIRBHAR BHARAT’ to promote Indigenous
Manufacturing in Telecom Sector on 01.01.2021. CMD further mentioned that the
Bidder or its Consortium Member(s) should fulfill the Technical Proven-ness requirement i.e,
experience of Planning, Engineering, Supply, Installation and Commissioning.
The Bidder not fulfilling Technical Proven-ness
requirement shall be eligible for upcoming 4G Tender if they complete the POC
successfully against this EOI. CMD further told that through this
E-tender Notification by Mass Media the message has gone to the nook and
corner of India “that BSNL is going to launch 4G services shortly” and hopes
that things will be changed in the positive direction very soon. b) BSNL has to manage
MTNL Mobile Net work on outsourcing basis: We enquired about the financial assistance, if any, will be
given to BSNL by the Govt. to maintain MTNL Mobile Net Work in Delhi &
Mumbai. We told CMD that we have to invest very huge amount (CAPEX) to
put back the MTNL Net Work in order and we have to insist Financial
Assistance from the Govt., since BSNL itself is struggling for maintaining
its own Mobile Net Work due to heavy financial crunch. CMD, BSNL informed that we have to
wait for another one month for completing the formalities and then only we
will assess the situation and our Targets. c) Free Corona Vaccine to BSNL Employees treating
them as Frontline workers: CMD BSNL mentioned that he has already gone through the letter given
by AIBSNLEA in this regard and appreciated our concern for writing such a letter in the interest of BSNL Workers with
a copy to Hon’ble Minister for Health and Family
Welfare. He assured that he will take up the issue with the Secretary
(H&FW) through Secretary (T). <<<Click Here FOR GS LETTER>>> d) Compensation and Financial Assistance to the
family members of deceased BSNL Employees due to Covid-19: We requested CMD BSNL to consider the
Compensation and Financial Assistance to the family members of deceased BSNL
Employees due to Covid-19, AIBSNLEA has taken up and requesting for the past
6 months. CMD BSNL mentioned that the proposal was discussed in the BSNL
Board Meeting in length but not considered due to heavy financial crunch. e) Non remittance of SAB recovered from monthly
Salary of Apr’ 2020 to Nov’ 2020: We brought to the notice of CMD that SAB benefits in respect of DRs of
BSNL recovered from the monthly Salary of Apr’2020 to Nov’2020 has not been
remitted to the Concern Authorities, resulting in non receipt of Pensionery benefits by the Retired Officials. CMD assured
to look in to the matter. f) Restructuring and Regular Promotion in all the
Cadres: GS
appraised the CMD BSNL that thousands of Executives already drawing Higher
Scales are working in the entry level grade of JTO equivalent and waiting for
their 1st Promotion for the years together. Likewise SDE(T)/
SDE(C/E/TF/Arch)/ AOs/ CCS/ PS cadres are waiting for their regular
promotions since long. The Promotions are held up by the Management in the
name of Restructuring and various Court Cases on Reservation & Seniority
issues. AIBSNLEA has continuously pursuing and requesting the BSNL Management
for the issuance of Regular Promotion” Orders in all Cadres of all the
Streams. We categorically told that AIBSNLEA strongly oppose
any look-after arrangement in higher grade but we demand immediate promotions
on ‘Regular Basis’. CMD mentioned that restructuring proposal is likely
to be finalized shortly and presented to the BSNL Board for Approval. CMD
further told that Management is ready to consider the Promotions in all the
Cadres but due to Hurdles created by filing cases in various Courts,
Management is facing problems and not in a position to issue Promotion orders
in a timely manner and dead lock is continued. g) Discrimination in consideration of request
transfers of Accounts Personnel: We brought to the kind attention of CMD that
request transfers in respect of Accounts Personnel has not been
considered by the Management for the past 7 months in the name of Restructuring,
whereas request transfers have been considered in all other cadres. We also
explained CMD BSNL about the problems being faced by the Accounts Personnel
without family in other Circles for more than 3 years due to Covid-19 and
requested him to consider the cases on Humanitarian grounds and issue
necessary instructions to the concerned Authorities for issuance of transfer
orders. CMD after patient hearing advised us to take up the
issue with Director (Fin)/Director (HR) and also assured to looked into. h) Compassionate Appointment to the family members
of deceased BSNL Employees due to Covid-19: CMD BSNL mentioned that the proposal was discussed in the BSNL
Board Meeting but not considered due to heavy financial crunch. i) Financial Status of
the Company and benefits of Tower Company: CMD BSNL mentioned that
the Company is earning Operating Profit (EBITDA positive) in the first half
of the F.Y 2020-21 i.e., after 5 years and revenue is slightly increasing. We
requested CMD for the disbursement of monthly Salary on the last day of the
month. CMD told that our day to day Cash flow is not sufficient for our
Operation and Maintenance and this year 2021 also BSNL will face severe
financial crunch, since in addition to monthly/quarterly expenditure of
Salary, O&M expenditure, Bank Interest, GST,TDS,
L.Fee and Spectrum Charges etc., also BSNL is
having Liability to pay Rs.3000 Cr to DoT Vendors
in respect of Advance received for Bharat Net Projects. In addition to that
BSNL is not yet getting any Loan from Banks for CAPEX on the basis of
Sovereign Guarantee Bonds or fledging of Monetized Assets till date. Regarding Tower Company CMD mentioned that BSNL earn
several hundred Crores due to non remittance of L.Fee w.r.t. AGR but BSNL is getting
very good revenue from the External Projects of Civil & Electrical Wing
from Odisha, H.P and other Circles for which
separate Escrow Account is being maintained. CMD requested that each and every employee should
work hard to increase our day to day collection/Revenue and follow the
Austerity measures instructions issued by BSNL CO scrupulously to control
over the Expenditure. We assure CMD BSNL that AIBSNLEA is always support the
Management for the betterment of BSNL and finally requested the CMD BSNL to
consider the Promotions in all the Cadres so as to boost the morale of the
Young Executives in BSNL. |

12-10-2020 CS Com.Shaji , CFS Com.Biju Gopal , CVP Com.Rajan and DS
TCR Com. Aneesh
Antony had a pre-appointed meeting on 08-10-2020 with the CGMT Kerala Shri. C.V Vinod . The meeting
started around 4.45 PM and extended up to 6.45 PM. We discussed the following matters. Include FTTH count
also to the total DEL count: The DEL calculated for LL:
1 , BB : 1.5 and Leased
Line :2 . Being ARPU of FTTH is heavier than BB and as FTTH lines
being added in an exponentially increasing way, DEL count for FTTH is mandatory for justification of the
Executives’ post
in BSNL. If we will not consider the FTTH DEL count as BB customers are
switching to FTTH , the geographical seize of clusters will increase and
the number of clusters will
shrunk badly affecting performance of BA . As on 30-09-2020 BSNL Kerala has 1, 38,647 FTTH Connections.
Most of the customers are migrated BSNL BB Customers. The proportional DEL
value is more than that in 2 or 3 BAs. We requested CGMT to take FTTH DEL count as 2 while
fixing cluster seize. CGMT shared our concern and replied that surely he
would take up the concern to corporate office. Distribution plan of SDE/JTO
and AO/JAOs We
expressed our concern on showing surplus 30 executives in Accounts/Finance
vertical in Kerala. We shared our concern on the non
counting of the posts of officers (AO/JAO) working very effectively in CSCs.
AO/JAO can effectively distributed for marketing. CGMT assured to consider
all these suggestions till Corporate Office instruct differently. BSNL can Eruct 4” GI Pipe for
extending FTTH connections in feasible locations : As of now BSNL
and N/E LCOs extend OFC for FTTH through non-BSNL poles in almost
all areas.
KSEB already
informed in black and white to remove our cables to reduce the overload of
their poles. Understandably Rs.400 / Rs.200 are the rent per pole per year for KSEB
in urban/rural areas. BSNL can freely do FTTH business by erecting sufficient GI
poles coast @Rs 1500 per pole and the ROI can be earned within 2/3 years in
terms of rent from E/N LCOs. We requested CGMT to consider the case with
deserved merit as the CFA sector migrating to FTTH business especially on the
fact that BSNL starting to extend any LL Directory number with FTTH
line. CGMT appreciate our concern and
assured to look into the matter. Online attendance : frustration
and morale demotion of executives working round the clock for BSNL Most
of the officers working in Transmission, BSS and other similar fields
are discharging their duties till late night rather round the clock. They are
certainly humiliated on many days to attend office @9.30AM to mark online attendance after attending faults in late nights.
They are not
getting enough rest and leads to health issues and reduction of efficiency.
It is badly affecting the output. Provisions may be extended to adjust the morning reporting
time with the
last day's
attendance Mark-Off time. If exit time is more than 6 hours late than the normal exit
time, their next day's attendance may be allowed to mark as duty off with the
approval of controlling officer. Or, instead, flexibility in reporting duty shall be extended
to the affected officials on a balanced way. CGMT appreciated the hard
working executives and non-executives carrying out extra efforts for the
benefits of BSNL even after office hours. Further, CGMT suggested online
attendance is a free matter of choice between these officials and their
controlling officers. Everyone in this sector can invariably use Mob App for
marking attendance. We appreciate the concern of CGMT Kerala. Immediate filling of DGM/AGM and DGM/CAO in Kerala Circle as per the direction of
Restructuring cell of BSNL Corporate office (
File No. 4-02/2014-Restg Vol.V (Pt.) dated
27-08-2020) We requested to fill up all
the vacant posts in DGM/AGM /CAO cadres in Kerala as per the
instructions. We reminded CGMT that
the new plan of DGM/CAO vacancies in Kerala exactly matches with the
suggestion and subsequent letter submitted by AIBSNLEA Kerala
. CGMT assured to do the postings accordingly
Acute shortage of AO/JAOs in core
accounting after VRS. Those who are working in CSCs Shall be re deployed to core
accounting So far no outsourcing has happened in Finance
and Accounts wing . However
increase in the Work load due to processing
maintenance Charges of outsourced clusters, LCO revenue share , implementation of closure of accounts -
Quarterly, Half yearly and annual are
being carried out by the thin executives in accounts vertical . Nowadays this
started to create unbalance
in working . We requested to re deploy the AO/JAOs working in
CSCs back to their core works . CGMT assured to consider the same
The following matters were
also discussed Implementation of
Centralisation of TR activities as
per the committee report in phased manner which will reduce work load
at BAs Filling up of AO/JAO s at BAs like PTA
by calling volunteers . Posting of Accounts officer
at TRA /EB section of TVM BA -Which is the Nodal BA for Billing and
collection of Major circle EB projects like KSWAN , Wifi
hotspot ,IT@school ,Ehealth etc. Under Business and service 1.Implementation of Single bill concept (Grouping of individual
connections ) to all State Government Departments and Directorates which will improve the first month collection efficiency and will avoid frequent disconnection of connections due to Delay in processing of service bills at various offices . 2. One time settlement option
to small business firms ,shops etc presently under
suspended NP Status whom defaulted the
payments due to COVID-19 by allowing discounts for the non usage period
(closed period due to lockdown) for
reconnection purpose. 3. Exploring more business
opportunities from State ,central and
Defence sector in view of the large
scale data usage in post COVID-19
Scenario by offering bandwidth
up gradation for existing and new provisions
with discounted offers . 4. Single window system for
provision of FTTH connections. 5. Immediate completion of
Projects pending with E-health, Court and Jail etc there by generation
revenue. 6. More attention to Revenue
Generation from EB which is lagging
significantly in this F.Y 7 Ensure frequent visit EB customers by KAMS 8 Proper costing methods The CGMT Kerala was very
positive to all our creative suggestions. We extended sincere gratitude to
CGMT Kerala who extended around 2 hours to have very active discussion on the
service /HR matters of BSNL Kerala. . |

24-09-2020 : CHQ News GS writes to Shri P.K. Purwar, CMD BSNL requesting
to issue necessary
instructions/guidelines to
all concerned for plugging the extraordinary slips in the growing up FTTH
Sector for BSNL through
N/E LCOs to avert turns which may open up Pandora Box resulting in
nail-biting situations to BSNL.... AIBSNLEA CHQ received feedback from
many of the Circle Secretaries & Field
Units that wide spared anguish
are being reported by many of the BSNL FTTH Customers connected through N/E
LCOs that Voice
quality is not there, unpleasant noise while on hook, one-way speech etc. etc., On behalf of AIBSNLEA, we submitted
our suggestions & views that: *Quality of both “Voice” and “Data” may be
ensured... *AT procedure for BSNL OLTs may be
extended to non-BSNL OLTs also... *Authenticity of address for FTTH
provision by LCOs may be cross checked... *As per the constraints in allotment of
VLAN-ID for Voice Service, chance of disguised fraudulent voice calls
prevails in FTTH Service. Any Directory number can be configured from any
other ONT. This may be arrested by providing password changing options to the
Customers. This can be implemented through NIB Nodes... <<<Click here for the letter>>> |

27-08-2020 It is very surprising to note that so many claimants
are there for the recently released outstanding SAB payments from Sept, 2019
to Jan, 2020 and it is very ridiculous to see that mud sliding and Website
war is going on even after the completion of the 2nd MV in
some Association's sites, which is not a healthy trend for the interest and
Welfare of the BSNL Executives and BSNL. We, on behalf of AIBSNLEA wish to
inform you all that AIBSNLEA is the only Association taken up the issue with
the BSNL Management continuously, by writing letters and persuasion with CMD
BSNL, Director (Finance), Director (HR) & Sr.GM (CBB) Corporate Office
from time to time and due to consistent and dedicated efforts of AIBSNLEA,
the outstanding SAB benefits has been finally released. Please go-through the
AIBSNLEA CHQ website for the letters written and issues taken up with the
BSNL Management in this regards. <<<Click here for GS letter dt 06.08.2020>>> <<<Click here for GS letter dt

meetings with CMD BSNL, Director (HR) & Director (Finance) which is the
documentary proof for efforts taken by AIBSNLEA.......Comrades! Truth is Always Truth. Ground & field work always speaks the truth
but those who are running the Association through only WhatsApp
& Website claiming for the settlement of the issue. Reality & the
Truth has come to the Light now. AIBSNLEA strongly believes that the “Actual
Fight & Action at the Ground level is the only solution to this Leg
Pulling approach". Dear Friends! From the above, you can very well
understand that AIBSNLEA is the only Association always voice fiercely
raising the Legitimate and Genuine Demands of all the Executives before the
Management and continuously pursuing with the Management without seeing any
Cadre, Caste & Creed. AIBSNLEA always believes that 'Actions Speak Louder
than the Words'. AIBSNLEA respect the verdict of the majority of
the Executives. At the same time, we fervently appeal to the Majority
Recognized representative Association and the Support Association, instead of
fighting with each other through Website, please come forward to fight unitedly for the settlement of the long pending HR issues
and to safe guard the interests and legitimate rights of all the BSNL
Employees. "UNITY IS

24-08-2020 Meeting with CMD BSNL: Today GS and AGS AIBSNLEA met CMD
BSNL Shri P.K. Purwar and
discussed regarding: 1) Special Insurance Coverage for the BSNL
employees who are maintaining essential Telecom Services throughout India
against COVID-19 and Financial Assistance/Compensation to the bereaved family
members of BSNL Employees, who expired due to Covid-19: We
requested the CMD BSNL for the immediate extension of the Special Insurance
Coverage of Rs.50 lakh to the BSNL employees who
are maintaining essential Telecom Services throughout India against COVID-19
as suggested by AIBSNLEA during the month of April 2020 and we also impressed
upon the CMD BSNL that due to non-payment of Medical claim reimbursement
bills for indoor treatment to the Hospitals, our Executives and
Non-Executives are being facing problems for admission in the Approved
Hospitals for cashless treatment for Corona as well as other treatments. CMD BSNL mentioned that due to heavy financial crunch in BSNL,
BSNL Management is not in a position to extend the Special Insurance Coverage
to the BSNL Employees. However, CMD mentioned that as per the suggestions of
AIBSNLEA, BSNL Management has already written to DoT during the month of May,2020 itself for the extension of Financial support to
BSNL so as to pay the Compensation to the bereaved family members of BSNL
Employees. GS AIBSNLEA has written the letter in this regard to the BSNL
Management in the Month of April' 2020 itself. <<<Click here for GS letter dt
14.04.2020>>> He assured that he will personally take up the issue again with
the Secretary (T) and Member (Finance) DoT for getting the Financial support
for the Compensation to the bereaved family members of BSNL Employees, who expired
due to Covid-19. We handed over the reminder Letter
addressed to CMD BSNL in this regard. <<<CLICK Here for Letter>>> (2) Fixing the Time Line for Monthly Salary disbursement: We requested
the CMD BSNL to fix the time line for the disbursement of monthly salary on
the last working day of the concerned month since the Net Salary expenditure
is estimated around Rs.425 Cr and BSNL can very well manage the Net Salary
Monthly expenditure from the monthly collection of around Rs.1350 Cr. CMD
mentioned that now only Sovereign Guarantee approval has received from DoT
and BSNL Management is proposed to release the Bonds before the end of
September' 2020, then only our commitments towards Bank etc., will be reduced
and opined that after this process only BSNL Management may be in a position
to pay the monthly salary in time. We requested the CMD to release at least August, 2020 salary
in the last week of August 2020 due to the “Onam”
Festival. CMD mentioned that we are not having sufficient funds for the
disbursement of August Salary since July salary was paid on 20th August,
2020. (3) Immediate
promotions to all the Grades and Streams considering the post VRS Scenario: We requested to conduct the CPCs immediately for the promotion in
the Cadres of: (a) JTO(T) to
SDE(T) (b)
JTO(C/E/TF/Arch) to SDE(C/E/TF/Arch) (c) SDE(T) to
DE(T) (d) AO to CAO (e) SDE(C/E)
to EE(C/E) (f) SDE(TF) to

PS to PPS & PPS to Sr.PPS, CSS and AD(OL). (h) DE(T) to
DGM(T) and CAO to DGM(F) (i) DGM(Adhoc)
to Regular DGM. CMD mentioned that due to 2nd MVP the
Promotion issue was not considered and he assured to consider the Regular
Promotions in all the Cadres at the earliest. (4) Discrepancies in the Provisional Seniority list No.9 of SDE(T)
for DE(T) Promotions: We have
brought to the notice of CMD about the discrepancies observed in the
Provisional Seniority list No.9 of SDE(T) for the promotion of DE(T) issued
by the Pers branch on 10.8.2020 and we
categorically mentioned that the provisional Seniority List 9 is not prepared
purely on the basis of the date of joining in
accordance with the judgment pronounced by Hon’ble
Supreme Court. But it is prepared on Date of Joining within the vacancy Year. We further explained the CMD that the SDE(T) RR 2002 Amendment
(That is Modification/addition/deletion in SDE(T) RR 2002) circulation dated
08-May-2018 as in Annexure 8 – “the Inter-se Seniority of the officers
promoted against Seniority Quota (SQ-67%) and those who are promoted through
LDCE/LICE quota (CQ-33%) against the particular vacancy year shall be fixed
in the ratio of 2:1 irrespective of the year of appointment/date of
joining”. “This Modification applicable with effect from
28/08/2015”only. Any RR amendment is applicable from that date (that is
Prospective in nature) but not on retrospectively. CMD assured
to look into the matter. |

24-08-2020 Meeting with Director (Finance) BSNL Board: Today GS and AGS, AIBSNLEA met Director
(Finance) and discussed regarding: (1) Disbursement of Monthly Salary on due date
in every month: We expressed our serious concern regarding the
non-disbursement of monthly Salary on due date. We appraised that after VRS,
our monthly Salary expenditure has been reduced to 50%, the Net salary works
out to Rs.425 cr. only, but BSNL Management is not able to disburse the
monthly salary in time and every month it is getting delayed almost 20 days.
We requested Director (Finance) to stream line the timely payment of Salary
in every month. Director
(Fin) informed that we have cleared almost all our liabilities and trying to
update all the pending liabilities also. We have obtained the moratorium for
Bank Loan/Interest also for 6 months during Covid-19 which is due to be paid
during the month of Sept., 2020. Further, BSNL has received the approval for
Sovereign Guarantee and BSNL Management is proposing to issue the Bonds up to
the last week of Sept., 2020. By the issue of Bonds Management is expecting
at least Rs.4250 Cr. and we may manage the salary in time with in next
three-four months. (2)
Extension of option for Pay Fixation in respect of JAOs (Departmental) (10%
Quota) of 2010 Batch: Director (Fin) informed
that the Committee recommendation in this regard has been accepted and
approved by the Competent Authority and assured that the formal orders will
be issued with in a couple of days. AIBSNLEA has
taken up this issue continuously for so many years and finally there is a ray
of hope that is we are seeing the light at the end of the Tunnel since we are
expecting the fruitful results shortly for our consistent and sincere
efforts. (3)
Consideration of request transfers in the Cadre of Accounts Personnel: We requested Director (Fin) to consider the request transfers in the
Cadre of AOs and CAOs since they have already completed more than 30 months
service in the present Circle and requested for transfer to their Home
Circles to join with their family. We also impressed upon the Director (Fin)
that our Accounts Personnel are facing so much problems due to Covid-19 in
other than their Home Circles and further requested to consider the transfer
requests on Humanitarian Grounds. Director
(Fin) immediately discussed over phone with PGM (Pers)
to process the transfer requests on priority basis including the requests
received from Accounts Personnel of BSNL Corporate Office. PGM (Pers) replied that the cases are processed and order will
be issued shortly after getting necessary approval. (4) Request for Withdrawal of letter issued on
the presumption of Telangana Circle
regarding the wrong Pay fixation done against first up-gradation
under Executive Promotion Policy (EPP) for the JAOs of 1999 Batch by DGM
Vigilance of CGMT, TS Circle: We
impressed upon the Director (Fin) that the issue was discussed with
Dir(HR), DIR(Fin), PGM(Pers), Sr.GM(Estt), GM(EF) and DGM (Pers)
in detail several times with relevant orders/clarifications issued by the
DoT, Pers & SEA Branch of BSNL CO, but even
after a lapse of five months, the issue has not been resolved. To our
surprise, TS Circle has revised the Pay fixation of Account Officers (JAOs
1999 batch) who are presently working in BSNL as well as who opted for BSNL
VRS-2019 and wrongly ordered for recovery of Overpayment to the tune of Rs.7 Lakh to 12 Lakh and stall the
regularization process (Pension & retirement benefits) of VRS optees in a biased and arbitrary manner with ulterior
motive on the basis of frivolous complaint, which is against the Natural
justice. We requested Director (Fin) to issue necessary directions to
withdraw the arbitrary orders of reducing the Pay of aggrieved JAOs of 1999
batch. Director (Fin) immediately spoken to Director (HR) over phone and
requested to resolve the issue on priority basis since the issue is pending
at Pers branch for a petty long time. <<<Click here
for GS letter reminder III >>> In this regard, GS
AIBSNLEA discussed with Director (HR) at 19.00 hrs. and
requested to issue the necessary orders immediately. Director (HR) after
discussing with PGM (Pers) over phone assured to
issue the direction shortly. |
