GS writes to Shri Narendra Modi Ji, Hon'ble Prime Minister,
Government of India, South Block, New Delhi regarding request for
implementation of 3rd PRC recommendations in BSNL with 15% fitment benefits - Our appeal <<Click
here for letter>>>>
Meeting
with PGM (Pers) BSNL CO GS,
President, FS, AGS(HQ) and AGS (Finance) met PGM(Pers)
and discussed regarding CPSU cadre Hierarchy implementation in BSNL. PGM (Pers) informed that the draft proposal prepared by Pers cell has been approved by Management Committee of
BSNL Board and has been sent to CGM (Legal) to put up in the next BSNL Board
Meeting for approval. He appraised that some suggestions/ views given by AIBSNLEA
have been considered i.e. Designation of Jt. DGM in E-5 Grade as per Khan
Committee report, bench marks on numeric basis and some relaxation to SC/ST
candidates in bench marks etc. he further mentioned that cut-off date of
implementation has remained 01.01.2017 and MT recruitment will take place as
per existing MT RRs. He
mentioned that he has informed about the discussions held with all the
Executive Associations to the Management Committee and thereafter he has
taken the approval. We strongly opposed the MT recruitment as STS level, SDE
to DE equivalent promotions within 7 years instead of 12 years and demanded
cut-off date as reference to next promotions from the date of last CPC. PGM(Pers) during discussions told that initially Pers. Cell
proposal was up to Sr. SDE to make functional Promotions on time bound manner
but with the persuasion of AIBSNLEA the competent authority directed them to
make the proposal up to AGM level and now again some modifications in the
earlier draft proposal have been made on the suggestion given by AIBSNLEA.
However, we will discuss the matter to CMD BSNL and Director (HR) to
appraised our concern in this regard. |

22-11-2017 : CHQ News Meeting with Addl.
Secretary (Telecom), DoT: GS and President
along with the GS and President of AIRBSNLEWA met Addl. Secretary (T), DoT
and discussed regarding: A Implementation of
3rd PRC recommendations with 15% fitment benefits in
BSNL: We
requested for implementation of 3rd PRC recommendations with
15% fitment benefits in BSNL as per the BSNL Board’s decision which is already
sent to DoT for approval and issuance of Presidential Directives. AST
mentioned that the BSNL’s proposal on 3rd PRC recommendations
with 15% fitment benefits in BSNL is being processed. During the discussions,
the AST was responsive. B Payment of
Pension contribution on actual basic instead of maximum of the pay scale: We requested to
consider payment of pension contribution on actual basic instead of maximum
of the pay scale. AST mentioned that the BSNL’s proposal in this regard was
considered and decided that DoT can not recommend payment of pension
contribution on actual basic instead of maximum of the pay scale to DoE in
view of the fact the pension contribution paid by BSNL for their employees is
on different substantive grade pay scales and thereafter the employee is
being retired in higher scale. So initially the pension contribution was paid
in lesser amount to DoT DoT as per the lower scale.
We further pleaded that the 6th CPC in the year 2006 had
recommended pension contribution to be taken on actual basic pay of the
employee. In view of that, it should be considered on actual basic but AST
was firm on his decision. Meeting
with Hon’ble MoSC (I/C),
Govt. of India: GS, President, FS and
AGS (HQ) met Hon’ble MOSC (I/C) Shri
Manoj Sinha Ji and submitted a memorandum requesting implementation
of 3rd recommendations in BSNL with full 15% fitment benefit.
We further requested him that BSNL Board has already approved that
proposal on implementation of 3rdPRC recommendations in BSNL and
has sent the proposal to DoT for approval wherein your kind intervention is
required in getting exemption on the affordability clause from Govt. We also
quoted the example of FCI which is also a Govt. converted PSU and was formed
with a specific agenda and exempted from the affordability clause. Similarly,
BSNL should also be exempted from the affordability clause since it was also
formed from 1.10.2000 with a specific agenda on the basis of NTP-1999 to
provide Telecom Services to the customers on affordable rates and to ensure
national security. Hon’ble MOSC (I/C) appreciated
our concern and mentioned that they are communicating BSNL Board shortly in
this regard. <<<Click here for the
Memorandum>>>> Meeting with PGM(Pers) , BSNL CO on CPSU Cadre Hierarchy GS, President, AGS
(HQ), AGS (FIN ) and AGS (DR) met with PGM (Pers.) and discussed about
proposed Draft CPSU cadre hierarchy. PGM (Pers.) initiated the discussion by
reiterating the MC direction that CPSU proposal is being discussed with
associations to make policy more employee and organisation centric. We told
that response submitted by AIBSNLEA contains para
wise suggestions, by considering them Policy can be made beneficial for both
employee and organisation. We reiterated our
stand that all pending CPCs should be completed and promotion orders should
be issued before implementation of CPSU cadre hierarchy and priority should
be given to conduct CPCs first to fill up all the vacant post of Group- 'A' and
Group-' B'. Pers. cell need to take legal opinion wherever required, to
break the stalemate in promotions in various cadres as per DOP&T
guidelines on SC/ST rosters implementation. PGM (Pers.) assured
to work out some way to complete the CPCs processes and issue promotion
orders and simultaneously finalise the CPSU Hierarchy. We strongly opposed
the MT recruitment provision at STS level in the CPSU cadre hierarchy. PGM
(Pers.) told that management trainee is need of the organisation. We
mentioned that AIBSNLEA will never accept MT at STS level. We
categorically told that MT recruitment at STS level will block the career
prospects of all the existing executives at JTO / JAO and SDE / AO
level and they will retire at AGM level only. If management feels that BSNL
need market talent then recruit MT in Sales, Marketing, HR and Legal
etc. at JTO/JAO level only. Engineering and Finance vertical are already
having executives at JTO / JAO equivalent to Management Trainee. Along with
this, If management feels that there is requirement at policy making level,
BSNL may recruit higher management professionals at GM level with suitable
experience and probation. We also opposed
ignorance of length of service and seniority in proposed draft and increase
of resend period for AGM grade from 7 years to 12 years. Residency period
from SDE to AGM and equivalent cadre should be maximum 7 years only. We suggested the
benchmarks should be on basis of Khan Committee report and numeric based to
avoid huge dropping. We also suggested
that implemention of date of CPSU Policy should be
from the date of last CPC held in that cadre instead of 01.01.2017, otherwise
it will not be beneficial to the executives in the Cadre (s) having
more than 20 years of service. The executives
already in E5 scales should be given the designation of Jt. DGM
immediately as per Khan Committee report. We suggested that
before going to any final decision all cadre controlling authorities like
Civil , Electrical , Arch, Finance, TF and CSS etc. should be consulted and
taken care of their views / suggestions also. We further suggested
that Pers. cell may convene a joint meeting of all executive
associations for more deliberation and making a consensus on CPSU policy
which is more employee and organisation centric. At last we requested
PGM (Pers) that he should go through our view and
suggestion with open mind to make CPSU Cadre hierarchy to become
reality. He assured to apprise AIBSNLEA views to BSNL management committee
for consideration. |

Committee of BSNL Board. GM (SR), Jt. GM (Pers) and

AIBSNLEA submitted its detailed Para wise response to the draft policy
approved by BSNL Management committee. PGM (Pers) had apprised that purpose of the MC‘s direction to discuss
with associations to make policy more employee and organization centric. He
requested that AIBSNLEA should support the policy to break the stalemate in
the promotions of executives in BSNL. AIBSNLEA made it
clear that we are never against the CPSU hierarchy rather we have been
demanding it to implement in the true sense and as per Khan Committee
recommendations. We further clarified that our suggestions are to safe
guard the interest of the entire executives and it will give value additions
to it. In view of this Pers. Cell should carefully go through our views /
suggestions with open mind without any prejudice. Then point by point
discussion was held. While discussion, we
strongly opposed the MT recruitment, ignorance of the weightage to seniority, reduction of sanctioned strength,
increase in eligibility condition from of 7 to 12 years for the promotion of
SDE/AO to DE /AGM/CAO, Time bound promotion in SG-JAG grade should be in E7
instead of E6 etc. PGM (Pers) appreciated our concern in this regard and impress
upon to consider MT Recruitment to full-fill the management requirement
immediately but we categorically told that AIBSNLEA is firm on its stand and
will not accept MT Recruitment at STS level which will block the career progression
of executives. Today the meeting started at 15.00 hrs as per the schedule and
continued till 18.00 hrs thereafter, PGM (Pers.) mentioned that he will study
the submissions made by AIBSNLEA point by point and thereafter he will
discuss the matter with AIBSNLEA again on 22nd and 23rd Nov,

13-11-2017 : CHQ News BSNL Executive
promotion Policy Amendment & Recruitment Rules, 2017 Pros
and Cons The
pros and cons on implementation of the Draft Rectt./Promotion
Rule, proposing Time bound functional promotion upto
AGM grade for all cadres / streams are as under:-. 1.2: The
modified policy shall be implemented w.e.f.
01.01.2017: Pros: The modified
policy implementing w.e.f. 01.01.2017 will provide
time bound functional promotion upto AGM level
which will benefit the newly recruited executives, recruited after 2010. Cons: The modified
policy implementing w.e.f. 01.01.2017 will not give
benefit to the senior executives in the cadre having more than 20 years of
service which will cause frustration and discontentment among them. For
example, one JTO recruited in the year 1995 and completed 21 years of service
is still waiting his first functional promotion as a SDE and one JTO
recruited in the year 2011 completed 5 years of service will get SDE
promotion together. No service weightage to
the senior executive is ensured. 1.3: On approval of
the policy, all existing RR in the grade of SDE /equivalent will be treated
as scrapped and MSRR 2009 will be modified to the extent that promotion of
AGM/DE Grade in all the schedule-IA, IB, IC & ID shall be treated to be
deleted. Remaining portion of MSRR shall be continued to be followed as per
the existing provision. MT recruitment will continue as per the existing
provision of Recruitment Rule of MT. Pros: MT recruitment
at STS level as per the existing provisions of recruitment rule of MT, It may
help in filling up Top level SAG/HAG level post on fast track method through
MTs of outside and inside quote. Few of Group B level executives will
also get a chance to become MT through this
process. Cons: MT recruitment
at STS level will block the career progression of Group B level executives as
we have experienced in DOT setup through JTS OF ITS Grup
A recruitment rules 1991. Where in one DR JTO of DOT used to retire as Adhoc DE after completing 37-38 years of service. The
similar situation will develop in BSNL after the introduction of MT
recruitment. 1.4: Powers for
relaxation/ modification/ amendment to these rules will vest with the
Management committee of BSNL Board. Pros: It will provide
easy path to BSNL management to relax/modify/amendment to these rules with
the approval of management committee of BSNL Board. Cons: BSNL
management, as its own or under the unforeseen pressures may any time
relax/modify/amend these rules with the approval of BSNL MC which may be in
the interest of executives or against. These rules are approved by the BSNL
Board and cleared by DOT may not be allowed to BSNL management to make such
provisions since the pension payment is being made by DOT. 3.0: Authorized
strength of the Service: The authorized strength of the executives in various
cadre/stream shall be as per the provisional HR plan Pros: As per Deloite recommendations the sanction posts of Group A and
B level executives will be reduced the wage payment liability of BSNL through
the proposed HR
plan. Cons: As per new HR
plan based on Deloite recommendations the huge
number of sanctioned posts of Group A and B will be reduced which will
adversely affect the career progression of BSNL executives by way of
stagnation due to non-availability of the posts. 5.1: All the
existing Executives up to AGM/DGM(Adhoc) shall
continue to be considered for financial up-gradation to the next higher
scale upto E-6 scale on completion of 5 years of
service from the date of placement in lower scale through conduction of CPC.
The benchmarks considered for financial up-gradation shall be as per the
prescribed provisions in the schedule. The new Benchmarks shall be applied to
those executives whose financial up-gradations are due w.e.f.
01.01.2018. Pros: The stringent
benchmark will filtered the executives and the less number of executives will
be promoted to the higher post to reduce to number. Cons: The stringent
benchmark will block the career prospect of majority executives thus the
spirit of time bound promotion on functional basis to all executives will be
defeated. Considering this, the benchmark proposed by Khan Committee was
appropriate of functional promotions. 5.3 II: All the
executives eligible for promotion for a vacancy year i.e. promotion under
SCF, for which the result of the LDCE (other channel of promotion) has been
issued and promotion order is pending, the promotion of executives of both
the channel shall be considered deemed to have been promoted before 1.1.2017
and they shall be treated en-bloc senior to the executives promoted as per
this Rule. Pros: The promotion
of executives of both the channel shall be considered deemed to have been
promoted before 1.1.2017 and they shall be treated en-bloc senior to the
executives promoted as per this Rule. It will depend upon the year to year
vacancies. Cons: The executives
of LDCE quota appeared through a particular vacancy year will continue to
claim their seniority along with the vacancies of SCF quota. It may invite
litigations and derail the process. 12.0: The executive
shall join the place of posting on promotion within 40 days of the issue of
the order of promotion by BSNL CO. The period of 40 days may be extended in
exceptional and deserving case, in the interest of service, where the
Administrative requirement so demands with the approval of appointing
authority. In case the Executives who are granted functional promotion but
fails to join the promoted grade within the time or decline promotion, then
Management reserves the right to forfeit his promotion and executive shall
not be considered for functional promotion or financial up-gradation to
higher scale for next one Year or next CPC whichever is later, from the date
of deemed refusal (after 40 days) or from date of application of refusal. Pros and Cons: If on promotion
outside circle one is forced to refuse due to medical/ family issues, he will
stagnate in his own pay scale as there is no financial upgradation.
This type of situation should be relaxed and genuinely should be weighted. 16.0: New designations
for Executives: In the Policy new Designation has been incorporated and shall
hereafter be followed at all levels at H.Q./Circle/SSA etc. Pros and Cons: Khan committee
has no where suggested Sr. SDE as functional promotion and tightening the norms
by deciding even one "Average" as disqualification in
promotion for JTO, SDE, Sr. SDE, DE cadres i.e. for the span of 20 years. We
strongly submits that there is no need to alive the Sr. SDE cadre. By this
inclusion the Executives will be derailed from their justified promotions and
will be bound to remain in the same pay scale for 10 years, which is the
violation of EPP. We strongly oppose such inclusion. |

the posting in the website of SNEA dated 5-11-2017 will certainly

website that the draft proposal posted in our website is no way connected to
the proposal approved by MC and informed that the full proposal will be
posted by them once they receive it from management. This means that they are
waiting the detrimental cadre hierarchy order to be approved and issued
before circulation. Cowards Act. If they have courage let them come out and
say which point in the draft proposal uploaded by us is wrong and what is the
right. For what this hush hush is all about ? It is propagated that
the "promotion will be without fresh CPC and without delay". What's
the meaning of fresh CPC and no delay. Will the present system of evaluating
APAR and VC will be dispensed with. At present VC is valid for 3 months and
CPC conducted for the eligible candidates. Then how delay can be avoided and
there will be no need of fresh CPC. Shamelessly it is
written that " Khan Committee recommendation is implemented as it is
5-5-5 years except for benchmarks which are slightly tightened by the
management." Khan committee has nowhere suggested Sr. SDE as functional
promotion and tightening the norms by deciding even one
"Average" as disqualification in promotion for JTO, SDE, Sr SDE, DE cadres i.e. for the span of 20 years is
"slightly tighting " in the eyes of the
majority Association. What a desperation to cover the misdeeds of the
Management. The committee headed
by Mr Khan, Ex. ED (NB) deliberated the issue on CPSU Cadre Hierarchy at
length where all the executive Association has given there
opinion. After taking opinion of all, the report was signed by all
Associations including SNEA. Now what is the necessity and compulsion on part
of SNEA to deviate from the report that too secretly and without discussion
in any forum. Why SNEA is overactive to convince the executives about the
good (?) points in the new proposal. CPSU Cadre Hierarchy is for executives
who are qualified enough to understand themselves what is good and what is
bad for them. They why this extra initiative? When EPP was drafted there was
no need of secrecy and education. All Executives welcomed the scheme because
it was good for them. Therefore without wasting the energy on preaching let
the majority Association come out with the total scheme as they categorically
mention the draft proposal uploaded by us is far from reality. We appeal to the
Majority Association please stop such actions to damage the entire executives
cadre for may be some fringe benefit for some people. |

04-11-2017 : CHQ News Betrayal towards BSNL
Executives on issue of CPSU Cadre Hierarchy : *The CPSU Cadre
Hierarchy (CCH) is secretly planned by SNEA with Pers. Cell of BSNL only for
smooth implementation of DOT's order on E1 & E2 scales in BSNL at the
cost of the executives career.*
But SNEA is all along
opposing the cascading demand on all scales and demand only E2 for JTO and E3
for SDE which means if the same demand is achieved without cascading then in
the proposed CCH the pay structure will be:
The issue of
converting promotion to Sr SDE/Sr
AO as functional promotion is of vital importance for the cadre. Earlier whenever
this issue was deliberated in any forum, the decision was always against
introduction of a functional grade between SDE/AO and DE/CAO. Now SNEA has
given its consent for introduction of the functional grade Sr Manager. *Will they kindly inform the executive
fraternity when and in which forum they deliberated and decided such vital
issue. If deliberated then why they kept it secret from the entire community
of Executives of BSNL.* |

02-11-2017 Status on CPSU Cadre
Hierarchy Management Committee
of BSNL Board has discussed & approved in principle the draft proposal
submitted by PGM(Pers.) to BSNL Management Committee but BSNL Management
Committee has advised Pers. Cell to have discussions & to take opinion of
other executives' associations also mainly with AIBSNLEA before submitting
the proposal to the BSNL Board for approval. Majority Executive
Association in coordination with PGM(Pers.) has formulated the CPSU Cadre
Hierarchy draft proposal wherein the recommendations on CPSU Cadre Hierarchy
by KHAN Committee has been diluted / distorted which is against the
terms & conditions of the assurances given before absorption to BSNL
executives. The GS Majority Executive Association was also one of the members
of KHAN Committee who signed the recommendations & now deviated from that. AIBSNLEA will protest
against the such proposal which will harm the assured career progression. |

27-10-2017 CS
requested PGM_F Kerala Shri.KK Vel to take steps
in positive direction to declare vacancies of JAOs in Kerala in the light of
the BSNL Corporate Office conveys approval for utilization of resultant
vacancies arose due to declining of some candidates for the left out
qualified candidates at Circle Level . AIBSNLEA Kerala has been taking up the matter from
the very beginning of this issue and many formal requests both in letter and
in meetings were submitted at PGMF level . But , lastly circle office informed that as per
the then direction of corporate office letter , circles are not permitted to operate the LICE list
to fill up remaining vacancies . Now due to the pressure of AIBSNLEA CHQ the
very favourable letter is released. In Kerala a minimum of 5 (Five) vacancies are estimated. We sincerely congratulate GS AIBSNLEA for
achieving this breakthrough while another association openly stands against
accounts fraternity in many ways including their recent stand that “No more
Junior Accounts Officers is to be
posted in BSNL”. . |

initiate steps to stop the concept. Ø Smooth working handicap in CFA sector / CSCs etc without adequate BSNL staff : Within
a short span of years a big percentage of BSNL employees at Gr.C level
will retire from these verticals .
Some CSCs in Kerala are already closed due to staff shortage . We requested
that being a very high profit making circle , at least for Kerala Circle some
youngsters may be recruited to man CFA/CSC etc areas . Compared to other
circles Kerala has more DELs but less
number of Group C maintenance staff. CGMT shared our concern. Ø Occasional stoppage of Stock Movement /EC Recharge in SAP We

into the matter without any delay. Ø Paperless office environment through
