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)

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. |

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

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. |

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. |

Lunch Hour Demonstrations and Gate Meetings on 07-08-2019:
A meeting of the AUAB was held
yesterday the 01.08.2019, at NFTE’s office, New Delhi. The meeting was
presided over by Com. S. Sivakumar, General
Secretary, AIBSNLEA. General Secretaries /
Representatives of BSNLEU, NFTE, SNEA, AIBSNLEA, AIGETOA, BSNL MS, BSNL ATM,
TEPU and BSNLOA attended. The meeting expressed it’s extreme unhappiness that the Unions and
Associations of BSNL are being completely kept in the dark, with regards to
the so called revival package of BSNL. The meeting also expressed it’s deep concern about the
deterioration of BSNL’s services due to lack of working capital. The meeting
took serious exception to the repressive measures being taken by the BSNL
Management, to deny legitimate trade union activities in BSNL. After serious
discussions, the meeting decided to organise
countrywide lunch hour demonstrations and gate meetings on 07.08.2019, on the
following demands:-

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

decided to conduct the meeting on 01.08.2019 to discuss about the future
course of action. AIBSNLEA will strongly oppose the roll out of
Retirement Age from 60 years to 58 years which is in violation of Absorption
terms and conditions of BSNL Employees and threat to Job Security. |

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.

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 |

21-06-2019 Meeting with CGMT Kerala: CS and ACS
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? CGMT directed us to escalate the

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. |

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. |
