| 24-02-2018 Meeting between Shri Manoj Sinha,
  Hon’ble Minister of State for Communications and the
  All Unions and Associations of BSNL -  A meeting is held at the Sanchar Bhawan
  today the 24.02.2018, between Shri Manoj Sinha, Hon’ble Minister of State for Communications and the All
  Unions and Associations of BSNL (AUAB). Together with the Minister,
  Secretary, DoT, Special Secretary, DoT, Joint Secretary (Admn.),
  DoT, DDG (Esst), DoT, Shri
  Anand Kumar, OSD to the Hon’ble
  Minister, CMD BSNL and Director (HR) BSNL were present. From the All Unions
  and Associations of BSNL, Com. P. Abhimanyu, GS,
  Com. Chandeswar Singh, GS, NFTE, Com. K. Sebastin, GS, SNEA, Com. Prahlad
  Rai, GS, AIBSNLEA, Com. K. Jayaprakash,
  GS, FNTO, Com. N.D. Ram, GS, SEWA BSNL, Com. Ravi Shil
  Verma, GS, AIGETOA, Com. Mallikarjuna,
  President, BSNL MS and Com. S.D. Sharma, GS, BSNL ATM, participated in the
  discussions. The representatives of the AUAB heartily thanked the Hon’ble Minister for taking out time to meet them.
  Detailed discussions took place on the memorandum submitted to the Hon’ble Minister, the details of which are as follows:-   (1)               3rd Pay
  Revision. So far, the DoT has
  been maintaining that BSNL employees are not eligible for 3rd Pay
  Revision. In today’s meeting the Hon’ble Minister
  agreed that the issue of 3rd Pay Revision of BSNL employees would be processed and would be taken for the approval of
  the DPE and the Cabinet. This is a great achievement. We have broken the
  stalemate that prevailed in the Pay Revision issue. At the same time we have to be vigilant, till the final approval is given
  by the Cabinet.   (2)               Formation
  of Subsidiary Tower Company. The AUAB
  representatives expressed their apprehension that in the name of formation of
  the Tower Company, the 66,000 mobile towers of BSNL are
  being snatched away from BSNL. They also pointed out that the decision
  of the Cabinet that, the Subsidiary Tower Company would remain under the
  control of BSNL Management, has been violated, through the appointment of an
  IAS officer as the CMD of Subsidiary Tower Company. They further pointed out
  that even BSNL Management was not taken in to confidence in the appointment
  of an IAS officer as the CMD of the Subsidiary Tower Company, which clearly
  shows that the Subsidiary Tower Company would not be under the control of BSNL
  Management. The reply given by the Hon’ble Minister
  in this regard is not satisfactory. The AUAB has to find ways and means to
  ensure the rolling back of the Subsidiary Tower Company.   During the
  discussions on the issue, GS AIBSNLEA raised the issue of additional
  increment on post based promotions under the provisions of executive promotion policy provisions which has been
  denounced by DoT vide letter dated 05.07.2017 and lakhs
  of rupees recoveries are taking place of BSNL executives and BSNL pensioners.
  He instantly submitted Hon’ble PB CAT judgment copy
  to Hon’ble MOSC (I/C) wherein the DoT order dated
  05.07.2017 has been quashed. Hon’ble
  MOSC (I/C) immediately directed DoT administration to look into the
  matter.  Now, we can expect that DoT may not go for appeal against the
  PBCAT order in this regard after this meeting.   (3)               Pension
  Revision. The representatives
  of AUAB strongly argued that pension revision should be
  done to the BSNL pensioners. It was pointed out
  that the BSNL pensioners and the Central Government pensioners are covered by
  the same rules. They argued that when pension revision is
  settled for the Central Government pensioners, the same should not be
  denied to the BSNL pensioners. The Hon’ble Minister
  assured that needful action would be taken to settle
  this issue.    (4)               Calculation
  of Pension Contribution. It was strongly
  argued that pension contribution in respect of BSNL employees cannot be calculated on the basis of maximum of the pay
  scale, when the same is calculated on the basis of actual basic pay, in the
  case of Central Government employees. It was pointed out that as per the DoP&T order issued in 2006,
  pension contribution of the Central Government employees is being deducted on
  the basis of actual pay only. The Hon’ble Minister
  directed the Secretary, DoT, that this issue should be
  settled as per Government orders.   (5)               Allotment
  of 4G spectrum to BSNL. The AUAB
  representatives pointed out that it will be extremely difficult for BSNL to
  compete with the private operators, without providing 4G service. They
  strongly argued that the proposal of the BSNL Management, for the allotment
  of 4G spectrum by the Government, should be accepted.
  The Hon’ble Minister replied in the positive and
  assured that needful action would be taken.   (6)               Reduction
  of retirement age from 60 to 58. The AUAB
  representatives strongly argued that the retirement age of the BSNL employees
  should not be reduced from 60 to 58, as a measure
  for the revival of BSNL. The Hon’ble Minister told
  that the government is not having any proposal to reduce the retirement age
  from 60 to 58.   (7)               Left
  out issues of the 2nd PRC. The AUAB
  representatives pointed out that this issue is lingering on very long time
  and needs to be settled. The Hon’ble
  Minister stated that this issue would be looked into by the
  Secretary, DoT.   At the end of the
  meeting, the Hon’ble Minister stated that the
  representatives of AUAB could meet him again, as well as the Secretary, DoT,
  in continuation of today’s meeting. The representatives of AUAB heartily
  thanked the Minister for his positive response to most of the issues.   After the meeting
  with the Hon’ble Minister, a meeting of the AUAB was held in the FNTO’s office. All the General Secretaries
  expressed their satisfaction with regards to the
  progress in the issues. They also expressed the view that all these have
  happened only because of the united struggles and massive mobilization by the
  entire Non-Executives and Executives, for which they deserve
  appreciation.  | |

| 21-02-2018 Today
  evening , CS , CVP, ACS , DFS TVM  addressed DR JTO Phase-I trainees and other
  JTO trainees who are undergoing training at RTTC Trivandrum by elaborating all
  the prevailing conditions of BSNL . AIBSNLEA exhorted the need of unity among
  all employees of BSNL for the survival of both BSNL and BSNL Employees . DR of BSNL are short of getting 5 more percent
  of superannuation benefits to 30%  
  while almost all other PSUs have already extended this benefits to
  their DRs . AIBSNLEA has been fighting for 30% benefits despite the fact
  that   another association had pointed
  out   on an occasion that this benefit
  cannot be extended to the DRs due to the financial crisis of BSNL .  AIBSNLEA is
  totally against the lateral entry of DGM/MT  , which will kill the career
  prospects of DR executives.  Moreover , only AIBSNLEA along with AIGETOA did fight
  against the  recruitment . AIBSNLEA is
  for E2-E3 Scale implementation  in true spirit .etc ....  While
  addressing the two batches erstwhile O-JTO batches of Phase-II undergoing
  JTOs,  CS and ACS detailed the progress
  status of FR 22 1 (a) 1 pay protection case . 
  The very lawful pay fixation and its protection is upheld by CAT , HC
  and SC without any room of apprehension after prolonged years of legal
  fighting .   Despite the fact, the
  apparent move of BSNL Corporate Office to review the case at SC will only
  result in loss to BSNL exchequer and delay in implementing the legitimate
  right. AIBSNLEA is trying at all the levels to implement the SC order at the
  earliest. The
  meeting was welcomed by Com.Balakrishnan JTO , CEC
  Member from Kannur and Vote of thanks was proposed

  CHQ News Meeting

  Nadu Circle met GM (Estt.) BSNLCO and discussed
  regarding the pay fixation under FR22 (I)(a)(i)- case of officiating JTOs. We requested for
  implementation of Hon'ble High Court Kerala
  Judgement. GM (Estt.) mentioned that Estt. Cell was of the opinion for its implementation but
  legal cell of BSNL CO has suggested to file SLP in the Hon'ble
  Supreme Court according action is being taken.
  However, any review may be considered by the competent authority only i.e.
  Dir (HR) / CMD BSNL. He advised to take up the matter with Dir (HR). Meeting

| 21-02-2018 DoT
  vide letter number 24-1/2018/SR communicated CMD, BSNL with respect to the
  agitation notice by All Unions and Associations of BSNL - Massive March to
  Sanchar Bhawan on 23.02.2018. Through this letter
  DoT has apprised the status of demands wherein all
  the demands have been denied which is the most frustrating situation. DoT instead of settling the issues in the interest of BSNL's
  viability and its employees denying the settlement of the legitimate demands. | |
| 20-02-2018 Meeting with Secretary (Telecom), DoT: GS/AIBSNLEA
  along with GS / BSNLEU and GS / SNEA met Secretary (Telecom), DoT and
  requested for considering the BSNL’s proposal for implementation of 3rd PRC
  recommendation with 15% fitment benefits in BSNL. We expressed our concern
  that the BSNL Board recommendations in this regard are pending in DoT for the
  last three months but no steps have been taken so
  far for its implementation. We further requested that DoT should relax the
  “Affordability Clause” of 3rd PRC or should take relaxation
  from Union Cabinet in the interest of BSNL and its employees. We pleaded that BSNL employees are working with their full
  commitment for the growth of BSNL and also timely completing the various
  Govt. projects like BHARAT NET, NFS & LWE etc.   Pay
  revision in BSNL is must to keep motivated the BSNL employees and in the interest
  of the viability of BSNL. Delay in consideration of pay revision has caused
  serious frustrations, resentment and demotivation
  amongst the BSNL employees. We explained that most of the BSNL employees were
  DoT employees only before their absorption in BSNL and as per Govt. of India
  Policy, after formation of the BSNL they exercised their option for taking
  absorption in BSNL under the assurances of better pay, promotion and pension
  but now the same is being deprived off on one pretext or another.   Regarding
  pension revision of BSNL pensioners, we apprised her that DoT Pension Cell is
  linking the pension revision with the pay revision of BSNL serving employees which is not justified since the BSNL pensioners
  are not related with the affordability of BSNL. During their service, their
  pension contribution has already been paid to DoT.
  The DDG (Estt) every time is explaining that in
  case the pension revision is done for BSNL pensioners without the pay
  revision of BSNL serving employees there will be anomalies in the pension. He
  is explaining that in case the pension is revised
  without considering the pay revision of BSNL serving employees, in that case
  BSNL pensioners retired prior to 01.01.2017 will draw more pension than the
  BSNL pensioners who retired or retiring after 01.01.2017. In this regard, we
  requested Secretary (Telecom) for her kind intervention for resolving the
  issue.   Secretary
  (Telecom), after giving patient hearing assured an early action in this
  regard and mentioned that Hon’ble MOSC (I/C) is
  also telling in all the meetings that we will consider the case. We extended
  thanks for granting the meeting.   | |
| 19-02-2018 Meeting
  with CMD BSNL : GS, President and FS
  met CMD BSNL  and discussed regarding a)
  Implementation of 3rd PRC in BSNL: We requested CMD to
  use his good office in DoT for the approval of BSNL Board decision on
  3rd PRC implementation and we also requested
  CMD BSNL to arrange a meeting with Hon'ble MOSC
  (I/C) and Secretary, DOT with all Unions and Associations of BSNL to discuss
  their demands. CMD BSNL assured to arrange a meeting within a couple of days. b)
  Filling up of the vacant of Group-A & Group-B posts: We requested to hold
  CPCs to fill-up the vacant Group-A and Group-B posts on Adhoc
  basis subject to outcome of the pending Court Cases. CMD mentioned that after
  our earlier meeting on this issue he has issued necessary instructions to GM
  (Pers) and advised us to discuss the matter with GM
  (Pers) for an early action. c)
  Implementation of CPSU cadre Hierarchy: CMD mentioned that
  the matter was discussed in the last BSNL Board
  meeting held on 08.02.2018 wherein Govt. nominee Director has asked to reply
  some of his queries. Thus after the approval from BSNL
  Board the matter will be sent to DOT for clearance. We further
  requested that the CPCs should be conducted simultaneously till
  the time CPSU Cadre Hierarchy is implemented. 19-02-2018 GS

| 15-02-2018 Hon'ble PB CAT New Delhi
  issues orders in OA No. 2649 quashing DOT Order dated 5/7/2017: Congratulations!
  AIBSNLEA's consistent efforts yielded results in getting delivered a
  favourable judgment by the Hon'ble PBCAT New Delhi
  for quashing the DoT letter dated 05.07.2017 which rescinded grant of an
  extra increment on post based promotion under EPP. Hon'ble PB CAT New Delhi has issued orders in OA No.
  2649 quashing DOT Order dated 5/7/2017. While writing the judgment Hon'ble PBCAT has mentioned that "The applicants have
  basically prayed for retention of para I.II (v) of
  the EPP (Annexure A-2, which has been duly approved by the Government
  according to its policy. There has been no policy change as such in the
  Government in regard to the service conditions of
  the BSNL employees. The controversy has arisen only on account of P&T
  audit unnecessarily trying to compare financial upgradation
  under the EPP with that under the MACP, not realizing that these two schemes
  are applicable to two separate set of employees. 11. In the conspectus
  of the discussions in the foregoing paras as well
  as considering the background of introduction of EPP, I am of the view that
  the impugned Annexure A-1 order dated 05.07.2017 is not at all legally as
  well as ethically justifiable. Its retention would create trust deficit
  between the BSNL employees and the Central Government, which is also
  unwarranted. Hence, I quash and set aside the impugned Annexure A-1 order
  dated 05.07.2017. Accordingly, the OA stands allowed. <<<Click here for the judgment copy

  glaring example about the of working of AIBSNLEA
  which fights sincerely and legally for the interests of all employees without
  any discrimination. | |

  writes to:Shri Manoj Sinha, Hon'ble MOS (C) (l/C), Govt of
  India requesting policy support and suitable compensation to BSNL in lieu of
  NOFN (BharatNet) and other Govt. project works
  being executed by BSNL. | |
| 30-01-2018 Meeting
  with Dir (HR) BSNL Board: GS, President AGS (HQ) and AGS
  (Finance) met Dir(HR) BSNL Board and discussed regarding a) Implementation of 3rd PRC
  with 15% fitment benefit in BSNL: We requested Dir (HR) to
  use her good office in getting cleared BSNLs proposal for 3rd PRC
  implementation from DOT. Dir (HR) mentioned that BSNL Board approval on 3rd PRC
  implementation was sent to DOT one month before but till
  date it is pending and no body from DOT is discussing the matter with BSNL
  management. Thus the matter has to be discussed with
  Secretary Telecom and Hon'ble MOSC (I/C) for their
  kind intervention and its implementation. We expressed our concern that BSNL only is executing the dream project of Hon'ble Prime Minister regarding NOFN work (Bharat Net
  Project), NFS Work and LWE project etc. and now Govt. is neglecting BSNL
  workers for their wage revision by implementing 3rd PRC is
  not justified. b) Withdrawal of Tower
  Subsidiary: 
  Dir (HR) mentioned that the decision on creation of Tower Subsidiary and
  appointment of CMD Tower Subsidiary has been taken
  by Govt. and now any review may be done by Govt. only. The matter has to be taken up with Hon'ble MOSC
  (I/C). c) Implementation of
  CPSU cadre hierarchy: We requested for implementation of CPSU cadre hierarchy by
  including our views / suggestion in the draft proposal of Pers. Cell BSNL CO.
  Dir (HR) mentioned that some views/ suggestion given by our Association are
  taken into consideration and the same will be placed before next board
  Meeting scheduled to be held on 8th Feb-2018. She assured
  that some more modifications as suggested by our Association may be considered after the approval of BSNL Board. d) Holding of CPCs to
  fill up vacant Group-B and Group-A equivalent posts:  We expressed
  our serious concern against non-filling up of the vacant Group-B &
  Group-A equivalent posts of all the disciplines on the pretext of pending
  Court Cases. We pleaded that on the vacant Group-A & Group-B level
  equivalent post can be filled-up on Adhoc basis
  subject to outcome of the Court Cases. We further requested that CPCs should
  continue to be held to fill up the vacant Group-B and Group-A level post till the time CPSU cadre hierarchy proposal is approved by
  BSNL Board and Dot. Dir (HR) assured to discuss the matter with GM (Pers) for an early solution. e) Reduction of
  retirement age from 60 years to 58 years in BSNL: On
  our query regarding DOT revival plan to BSNL wherein it is
  suggested to reduce retirement age from 60 years to 58 years. Dir (HR)
  mentioned that DOT has given the revival plan wherein it is advised to
  explore the possibilities to reduce retirement age from 60years to 58 years
  and VRS but so far BSNL management has not taken any
  decision in this regard. | |

| 27-01-2018 General Body  of AIBSNLEA Thrissur branch has been conducted at Recreation club
  hall , Thrissur on 25-01-2018 under the presidentialship of Com. Krishnan DP TCR . The members
  are welcomed by DS Com.Ashiq . CS and CVP attended the grand meeting
  .  While welcoming
  the gathering, DS narrated the very unhealthy/unethical political practice
  being adopted by one association in adding membership, which is no way
  suitable for an executive association . DP
  emphasised the need of unity among employees for a better BSNL.  CS elaborated all
  the prevailing situations of BSNL in service /HR and other matters. He also
  mentioned the legal action being planned against SNEA, Kerala averse to
  publishing a derogatory write-up on their site which is
  tarnishing the image and questioning the integrity of a very dynamic
  Lady comrade of AIBSNLEA who already proved her excel in both
  office/associational arena. It is a matter of abusing a Lady in public and
  shows their “ below-the-belt “ means of trade
  unionism.  We suggest SNEA to
  eschew this inherent obnoxious line up of their trade unionism and think of
  forming an en-masse exuberant platform of both
  recognised executive associations at CHQ /Circle levels , to curb the divide
  and rule policy of administration,  for
  the total benefit of executives at least henceforth while future of   BSNL 
  clearly on Knife Edge.  A befitting send
  off was given to Com.Suresh DGM(Rtd) and Com.Balachandran PS(Rtd) .The hall was jam-packed with members including the
  newly joined DR /LICE JTOs . Com.Shyam Sunder , DFS extended vote of thanks. | |
