07 Nov 2022 : Landmark & historical Judgement by the Hon SC on EPS 95:
Honorable Supreme Court has delivered the judgement in the EPS batch cases
on 04/11/2022. The Courts have allowed the Writ Petitions and dismissed appeal
by the EPFO and Government of India.
A Bench comprising Justice Uday Umesh Lalit, Chief Justice of
India, Justice Aniruddha Bose, and Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia have allowed the appeal of the Employees
Provident Fund Organisation and the Union government challenging the judgements
of the High Courts of Kerala, Rajasthan, and Delhi, which had quashed the EPS
Amendment of 2014.
After completion of hearing on 11/08/2022, the Honorable
Court has reserved the judgement and pronounced it on 04/11/2022.
This landmark judgement is the achievement of continuous efforts on
platform of NCOA (National Confederation of Officer Associations) and has given
great relief to BSNL recruited Executives as well as Non executives.
SNEA was continuously pursuing EPF 95 issue as
major constituent of NCOA, the applicant in this case decided by the Hon
Supreme Court. SNEA funded for this case fought by NCOA and as a Prominent constituent of NCOA, judgement is directly
applicable for SNEA members.
This case has 700 plus applicants from various Central and State
PSUs and NCOA. Today, the efforts of SNEA on the platform of NCOA yielded
results in favour of the BSNL recruited Executives.
With this achievement and justice through the Supreme Court now the
higher pension option will be available to all BSNL Recruited Executives and
Non-Executives and crores of the EPFO Members.
In Kerala High Court, the prayer by some individuals from BSNL was
only to extend the order already passed by the high Court in an earlier
judgement obtained in the cases filed by Milma, ITI,
NHL, HMT employees and Hon. HC allowed it even though they are not a party in
the Supreme Court.
The real fight was in the Supreme Court and this battle has been
successfully taken care of by NCOA and many other Unions/Associations of
Central & State PSUs.
Among all Associations/Unions in BSNL, SNEA is
the only association which is a party in this case finally decided by Supreme
Court vide Writ Petition (C) No 1134 of 2018 through NCOA. There are about 68 cases all tagged together
concerning EPS 95 Higher Pension issue.
Com. K. Sebastin, Ex GS
SNEA has taken up this
important issue related to BSNL recruited Executives as major constituent of
NCOA and continuously extended required financial support to NCOA led by Shri.
V.K. Tomar, SG NCOA and Shri Ashok Rao, Ex-President
NCOA. SNEA CHQ conveys sincere thanks and gratitude to all these
stalwart leaders for their initiatives and persuasion till getting this result.
SNEA CHQ congratulates all the EPF Account Holders in general and
SNEA members in particular for their victory in getting this long pending issue
settled in their favour.
Highlights of the judgement: This judgement needs detailed analysis and
team SNEA is on job. But we have consolidated the following important points of
this historical judgement.
· The Court held that the Pensioners right to receive
enhanced pension is constitutionally and legally protected and guaranteed.
· Before Amendment of 2014 they had the right to receive
enhanced pension in exercise of option under paragraph 11 (3) and post
Amendment they will continue to have the right to exercise joint option under
paragraph 11(4) of the EPS Scheme
· The cut of date imposed in the 2014
Amendment and Circulars are illegal and bad in law. Hence any member of the
Pension Scheme can exercise their option without reference of cut off date during his membership tenure.
· There is no difference between Exempted and unexempted establishments for the purpose of Pension and
enhanced pension extension.
· All Members who continue in service after 2014 are
given an extension of four months to exercise their joint option to enable the
same to be processed by the EPFO.
· Locus of EPO to maintain the SLP will be
decided later by the Court.
· The Court has granted Moratorium on
quashing of the 2014 Amendment till the next 6 months to enable EPFO to do
necessary computation and request refund of Provident fund amount from the
pensioners who seek enhanced pension.
· Also, the court has given
four months to employees who could not enroll in the
scheme and are entitled to do so.
· Though this Historical judgement will give full pension
benefit to all BSNL employees joined prior to the cut-off date of 2014 but did
not give relief to the employees retired before 2014. In BSNL there will be a
rare case of pensioners who retired before 2014 and are members of EPFO.
· All Pensioners who retired before 2014 Amendment
without exercising their joint option will not be eligible for enhanced pension
as they exited the Pension Scheme without giving the option.
· All Pensioners who retired before 2014 the Amendment after
exercising their option to receive a higher pension but the same being rejected
or unprocessed will be entitled to receive higher pension.
· All pensioners who retired prior to 2014 without exercising
joint option to consider moving appropriate Application/Writ Petition before
the Honorable Supreme Court will get the benefits
extended as has been given to others and SNEA is ascertaining its possibilities
through NCOA.
These are some important points and this judgement needs detailed
study from all angles and aspects and matter will be clear only when EPFO
issues the guidelines based on this judgement.
SNEA will continue to pursue through NCOA to get
the guidelines issued from EPFO at the earliest & its implementation in
BSNL and to settle the unresolved issues if any.

15 Oct 2022 : Update on SDE to AGM/EEs Promotions in Electrical
Wing:
When the SDE to AGM promotions in all other wings are held up due to
different court cases, there is no hurdle in SDE to AGM Promotions in
Electrical wing. SNEA CHQ has taken up issues with Director HR and CMD BSNL and
both have responded very positively and issued clear directions for going ahead
with AGM Promotions in Electrical wing.
We have discussed this issue with CGM EW BSNL CO and he has
informed us that his office is ready for promotions since long and only action
is required from the Pers section. Rather on our
repeated persuasion and information that Dir HR and
CMD BSNL have issued directions for issuing promotions, he was annoyed and
responded that SNEA is repeatedly telling that the process will be started but
nothing happened on the proposal he has sent to the Personal section long back.
Then, we discussed these issues and a proposal by the office of CGM
EW for EE/AGM promotions with GM Pers and he also
informed us that the matter is under consideration. But when we discussed with
DGM Pers DPC, he informed that there are issues as
clarification sought from DoT on PwBD reservation
related issues is awaited. We have confirmed from CGM EW and further
informed to Pers Section that there is no SDE in the
Electrical wing who is under PwBD category and who
will be deprived from the EE/AGM promotions in this list. But till no further
course of action was taken.
Accordingly, SNEA CHQ has once again taken up this issue with
Director HR BSNL Board on 13/10/2022 and elaborated to him about no action
taken by Pers Section as waiting for clarification
from DoT on PwBD. We requested early issuance of
promotion orders and we should not wait for any hurdle in it as seen in AGM
promotions in other wings. Director HR was kind enough to understand the
genuineness of request by SNEA and issued directions to GM Pers
to expedite the process and see that orders for SDE to AGM Promotions of
Electrical wing are issued by end of coming week.
Accordingly, suitable action is being taken by Pers Section BSNL CO and we are hopeful that about 56 SDEs
in Electrical wing will be promoted as EE/AGM Electrical by the coming week.
This will create post for promotion of JTO to SDE and during our
last discussions, CGM EW has informed that on issuing EE/AGM promotions his
office will take immediate action for JTO to SDE promotions in Electrical wing
and final call on it is to be taken by Pers Section.
Let us hope for the best.
15 Oct 2022 : Update on SDE to AGM Promotions in Telecom Wing:
After vacation of stay at CAT Jabalpur, the hopes for releasing AGM
promotion orders for Telecom wing are increased and many SDEs aspirant of AGM
Promotions are making queries on further course of action by BSNL Management in
issuing Promotion Orders as Double bench of CAT Kolkata has given green signal
for consideration of representation of the applicant in CAT Kolkata and
directed BSNL to look into it by ascertaining possibilities of promotions. This
order has mentioned nothing clear about vacation of stay granted by the Single
Bench of Court.
Meantime BSNL has filed an Application in CAT Kolkata conveying its
difficulties to follow the directions issued by Single bench of CAT Kolkata for
revising the seniority list and issuing speaking order thereof. Associations
have taken up matter with CMD BSNL for issuing AGM promotion Orders as per
directions of Double Bench of CAT Kolkata so that at least SDEs in list 8 are
promoted as AGMs. But as the matter was not clear, BSNL Management has decided
and called for legal advice from senior lawyers and the same has been received
this week.
Though legal opinions are not made public, it is informed that the
legal opinions are against going ahead with AGM promotions for any list before
vacation of stay by CAT Kolkata. The reasons sites for same are the application
of BSNL is pending in CAT Kolkata for vacation of stay granted by Single Bench,
Double Bench has not mentioned about vacation of stay by single Bench, for
issuing promotions of list 8 SDEs, the operation of list 9 to 11 is must to
meet reservation requirement, nothing is said about operation of these lists
partially as required to go ahead with promotions for list 8 SDEs as directed
by Double Bench etc. If it is decided to withdraw the application of BSNL, the
CAT Kolkata is having vacation up to 27/10/2022 and its possibility is also nil.
The matter can be heard in a special bench for emergency cases on three
different days during vacation period, but full justification of urgency is
required and some efforts in these directions could not succeed.
Meantime it is understood that some individual applicants who will
be affected by the orders of CAT Kolkata have filed application in CAT Kolkata
to put their stand for not revision of seniority as directed by single bench
CAT Kolkata and same also is registered in court and will be heard along with
application by BSNL. Thus, as of now the immediate possibility of SDE to
AGM Promotions for partial or full list 8 is less and the matter of SDE to AGM
promotions will be decided as whole after re-opening of CAT Kolkata on
27/10/2022 and date of listing of BSNL application for hearing.
Some SDEs aspirant of AGM promotions are having and creating doubts
on the intention of Management and persuasion by Associations at different
levels for going ahead with the SDE to AGM promotions. But we will like to clear
that as of today, Management as well as leaders of all Associations are in
favour of issuing Promotion orders and working in these directions and only
particular group of SDEs is not happy with the process and approaching court of
law for justice and stressing for staying the ongoing AGM promotions.
There is nothing wrong in approaching the Court of law for justice
but approaching with intention of halting the process of ongoing Promotions by
submitting partial information to Courts is not a healthy sign for progress of
executives in BSNL.
Earlier there was reluctance on the part of BSNL management in
issuing the AGM promotion orders and now when BSNL management is ready and now
our own executives are making all out efforts to stay promotions. Any direction
by any court will not give immediate benefits to affected SDEs and the real
benefits will be during the next promotion as DGMs for which minimum service of
Four years as on 1st January of that year is required. This
counting of eligibility of service is only possible once these SDEs are
promoted as regular AGMs.
Be assured that once the stay of CAT Kolkata is vacated the process
of Promotions will be started immediately and all SDEs aspirants for AGM
promotions will be given consideration and this court stay and halting ongoing
process of AGM Promotions will not yield any positive results but will delay
the overall AGM promotions.
Many of these SDEs have faced this as SDE promotions and it has not
benefited any SDE by any means but it has delayed the promotions of all for
years together and the same will continue in these AGM Promotions, if we do not
learn from the past.
SNEA CHQ appreciates the patience of all SDEs from list 8 to list
13 aspirants of AGM promotions and appeals to all of them to have some more
patience. Please do not create any further hurdle by asking for staying ongoing
promotions by getting directions from any court as this will delay promotions
of all including applicants and others who are extending financial support for
the court matters for staying the promotion process, but allowing promotions
will surely help all in step by step manner. Let us hope for best.

31 Aug 2022 : LICE JTO Results :
Heartiest congratulations
to all LICE JTO passed comrades of Maharashtra.
30 Aug 2022 : Status of SDE to AGM Promotions :
The proposal by DPC-Pers section
for approval of SDE to AGM promotion order was approved by CMD BSNL at late
evening of Saturday 27/08/2022. Thereafter, with day night efforts by the
officers in DPC and Pers section, BSNL CO for days
together and specially on holidays on last Saturday and Sunday, the DPC for SDE
to AGM Promotions is completed by the afternoon 29/08/2022.
The e-file was to be processed for final approval of
Director HR BSNL board for issuing AGM promotions and promotion order would
have been issued by late evening yesterday. But unfortunately one court case
has been filed in CAT Jabalpur and even though case was not listed in the
morning and BSNL advocate/ representative was not present in court, CAT
Jabalpur has granted stay on SDE to AGM promotions and entire process has been
kept on hold. Copy <<<>>
By taking serious note of happenings and understanding
unrest among SDEs aspirant of AGM promotions, SNEA CHQ has taken immediate
action and matter has been pursued at all level. The issues were discussed with
GS of other associations for pursuing possibility of issuing promotions orders
as the entire process of DPC was completed. But management has stopped process
as the notice was served to BSNL under acknowledgement.
GS SNEA has telephonic and personal discussions
with GS SEWA BSNL by evening hours, but GS SEWA BSNL could not
join us when we other GS decided to meet Director HR and CMD BSNL as by that
time he left office. But GS SEWA BSNL also has firmly supported our stand to
issue promotion order without delay.
Accordingly, late evening at 1930 hrs, GS
SNEA, GS AIGETOA, GS AIBSNLEA met Shri. Arvind
Vadnerkar, Director, HR BSNL Board and
requested for issuing orders as entire process of DPC has been completed and
formal order should be issued even though stay has been granted. Director HR
responded very positively but expressed his difficulties in issuing promotion
orders as though process of DPC is completed but the file was not processed and
if promotion order is issued after stay by court, then it will be contempt of
court.
We have elaborate discussion on other options it was
firmly agreed by Director HR BSNL Board for checking possibilities of filing
review petition in CAT Jabalpur or filing an appeal in High Court Jabalpur.
Accordingly, Director HR BSNL Board immediately passed on instructions to GM Pers, CGM MP and GM BA Head Jabalpur.
Apart from these legal options, the applicant will be
appealed to withdraw the case as the process of MT recruitment and AGM
promotions are two different processes and there is no direct relation between
it. After elaborate discussions Director HR BSNL has firmly assured to take all
efforts for getting stay vacated and clear hurdles if any in issuing promotion
orders.
The chances of vacation of stay are more as compared
to getting relief by filing review petition and accordingly the judgment will
be challenged in High Court Jabalpur for vacation of stay. From the pleadings
of the case and overall proceedings it is clear that the aim of this court case
is to stop the process of AGM promotions and get the orders issued for GD &
Interviews of MT process, before the AGM promotions are issued.
Thereafter we all three GS have requested for time
from Shri. P.K. Purwar, CMD BSNL who
just returned from DOT meeting by 2000 hrs and was
further busy in meeting of all directors of BSNL. But we all waited and CMD
BSNL was kind enough to give us time to even though it was 2145 hrs in the late evening.
On our concern to issue promotions orders today
itself, CMD BSNL expressed displeasure and pointed out that some of your member
is approaching court of law and has stopped promotions by getting stay and now
it is responsibility of association leaders to deal with it who have played or
may be playing with the process of promotions. CMD BSNL expressed that the
inter rivalry among the different groups and strongly oppose to MT is reason
for stopping AGM promotions also. CMD BSNL added that if association leaders
have shown patience and allowed management to go ahead with the process of
promotions for all, there will not have been any issue. But when matter has
been taken up to court, now for issuing promotion order, it is required that
stay is vacated.
CMD BSNL elaborated that he has discussed details with
Director HR and other senior officers and confirmed that the stay is granted
without ground for staying AGM process and hence he has issued directions for
proceeding for vacation of stay. CMD BSNL informed in clear words that what you
are sowing, you will get same ripe in return and no need to blame anybody else
for it. CMD BSNL appealed all to take serious note of happening and bring
awareness among members for not approaching court on such already decided
issues. CMD BSNL was confident that very shortly the stay will be vacated, but
advised us that association leaders will have to think up to which level any
issue is to be stretched and take corrective action in future.
As such it is clear that BSNL management is firm on
getting stay vacated and issuing AGM promotions and the stay will be vacated
shortly and AGM promotions which are stalled at last moment will be issued
shortly. All the four associations are also pursuing for issuing early
promotion orders by vacation of stay.
If required, SNEA will join in the case which is being
filed by BSNL for vacating stay as thousands of its members are affected and
actively join hands in vacating stay.
When others are opposing Internal MT Recruitment by
tooth and nail, SNEA has openly supported and stood behind successful
candidates of Internal MTs by understanding need of BSNL and mainly for opening
doors of fast-track promotions to BSNL’s own talent. But it does not mean that
some of the MT candidates are given free hand to play politics and play with
sentiments of other thousands of aspirants of AGM promotions and stop the
promotions of SDEs who are waiting for their turn since 2018.
We are also aware that some similar cases are being
planned by some group of executives and BSNL management is taking care of all
such cases by taking required action so that AGM promotions are not further
held up in litigation.
SNEA condemns such selfish and hopeless attitude of
creating hurdles in the way of promotion of other executives by managing stay
at last moment of AGM DPC process and spoiling long awaited happiness of the
other executives. We cannot tolerate all such nonsense attitude of fighting
among each other and creating hurdles in our own promotions. SNEA promote
brotherhood among executives of BSNL our aim is to move ahead with support of
each other and will move ahead with it.
SNEA also appeal the applicants in case to come out of
this politics of stopping SDE to AGM Promotions and withdraw the case and not
to approach any other court for stopping any other promotion process for expediating their promotions otherwise SNEA will have to
think over its stand to support MTs. If appeal of
SNEA is responded positively, SNEA will continue with our stand to support
Internal MT recruitment, otherwise we will have to think over it and we cannot
allow anyone to play with sentiments of others.
SNEA CHQ is well aware about deep feelings of the SDEs
who are aspirants of AGM promotions and patiently waiting for their turn of AGM
promotion since 2018. We are also aware that some similar cases are being
planned by some group of executives and BSNL management is taking care of all
such cases by taking required action so that AGM promotions are not further
held up in litigation.
SNEA appeals all of them to keep patience for some
more time by understanding that till now all the hurdles are overcome with keen
persuasion at all levels and we are confident with firm stand and action by
BSNL management this last hurdle will also be overcome in similar manner and
SDE to AGM promotions for all wings and all cadres will be issued very
shortly.

22 Aug 2022 : SNEA Congratulates and Thanks Shri. P.K. Purwar, CMD BSNL:
{Report by Shri.

Former DS SNEA Bhandara, MH, Shri. Kapil A. Bhoyar, OS SNEA Nagpur

SNEA had a special meeting with Shri. P.K. Purwar
ji CMD BSNL at 1100 Hrs
on 11/08/2022 at BSNL Corporate Office, New Delhi.
SNEA Delegation specially
congratulated CMD BSNL with a bouquet and conveyed thanks and gratitude for his
devoted efforts in getting support from the Government of India through Revival
Package 2.0.
In reciprocation, CMD
BSNL expressed that these are not efforts of him alone and these are team
efforts by all. He categorically mentioned the role of Secretary DoT and
different officers in DoT in finalizing and moving ahead this proposal to
extend support to BSNL. CMD BSNL specifically mentioned the active and leading
role of Hon. MoC Shri. Ashwini
Vaishnaw Ji and his to
depth involvement in the entire process starting from drafting the proposal and
looking into each and every aspect of the proposal, then further pursuing it in
cabinet and final concurrence of Hon. Prime Minister of India for this
excellent support through Revival Package 2.0. CMD BSNL elaborated the
activities done since last one year in drafting and finalizing this proposal.
CMD BSNL stressed that
this proposal is approved due to improved performance of BSNL over the last
two-three years and gave credit to workforce of BSNL for same. CMD BSNL
narrated those three points helped us in getting support from GOI in the form
of Revival Package 2.0 i.e. First BSNL has reduced its expenditure on
operations, Second BSNL has shown Operational Profit over last two years and
third is even after mass VRS in BSNL the left-out workforce of BSNL has taken
responsibility of works of VRS opted and there no direct impact on telecom
services of BSNL rather performance during critical period of Pandemic has been
appreciated by all. Thus, the performance of BSNL has been remarkable in the
absence of even 4G. The addition of FTTH Connections @ one lakh per month with
the help of BSNL partners on revenue sharing basis has contributed to growth of
BSNL and reduced direct expenditure on Mtce works
which is rightly recognized by DoT and GOI. He specially appreciated the role
of BSNL workforce giving their best to BSNL except few who also will have to
come forward and give their best to BSNL.
CMD BSNL conveyed that
the response from the office of PMO is so positive that whatever was asked by
BSNL has been agreed and approved and if anything is not given means it is not
demanded by BSNL. He appreciated this very liberal approach and total support
by GoI and he was very optimistic that similar
support will continue if BSNL continues to perform in a better way. He added
that coming one year is important and if we could deliver 80% of the targets
assigned to BSNL by Hon. MoC, each and every demand
of BSNL will be taken care of and he will be at the forefront to get these
demands settled.
CMD BSNL appealed that
for the coming one and half year let us keep all HR demands aside and focus on
implementation of projects by improvement and expansion of services in the time
bound manner. CMD BSNL elaborated the roadmap to the success of the company and
appealed that all should work in tandem to bring the company back to its
pristine glory.
CMD BSNL emphasized on
need of skill development among the executives and non-executives in BSNL and
under revival package, Skill development training will be arranged for all
executives and non-executives depending on requirement in filed units. CMD BSNL
also informed that there is need of more punctuality among all executives and
non-executives in BSNL and their attendance will be marked strictly in new
system of attendance and it will be applicable for all.
CMD BSNL added that now
BSNL has everything except 4G and attitude. He made it clear that 4G is not
in our hands but our attitude is in our hands and we will have to give our
best. In conclusion of a brief on revival package. CMD BSNL reiterated the need
to improve the performance of network, equipment and attitude of certain
employees so that revival of BSNL will happen as envisaged by the government
while offering the package.
After briefing by CMD
BSNL on the revival package and related issues we have detailed discussions on
the following points.
“Perform or
Perish” OR “Perform
and Flourish”: We brought it to notice of CMD BSNL
that the address of Hon. MOC in HOCC meeting is being used for creating
unwanted pressure on the workforce of BSNL by few CGMs/GMs by pointing only on
Perform or Perish and neglecting all other positive points. We highlighted the
facts that out of a very positive speech of Hon. MOC, media made headlines only
on “Perform or Perish” and none of his other positive points in address to HOCC
are given importance.
We added that the media
can do so, but some of our own GMs/ CGMs are also stressing this single point
and creating fear in the minds of the BSNL workforce. Some of BA Heads have
crossed limits by stating that he will remove non performers
from services without waiting for any procedure. We stressed that this is an
attempt by some officers to create a picture that only BSNL executives and
employees are not working and they only are performing well. Otherwise these
officers are throwing ball in the court of employees and executives and keeping
their records updated that they are performing and do not want to come in the
list of non-performers.
We added that the BSNL
workforce is overall good and few are there who are not performing but these
officers are not taking any efforts to make them perform. But some of GMs and
CGMs are making poor attempts to project that in general all the executives and
non-Executives of BSNL are Non performers and blame
game has been started again. We stressed that there is a need to accept
the facts/realities and make sincere efforts to understand the issues faced by
the BSNL workforce and work in team spirit to overcome these issues and
problems. We reiterated that if BSNL senior officers continue in the same red
tape method by writing letters threatening to below line officers then similar
actions will be reciprocated by below level officers by writing letters giving
real facts and problems in field units and asking for its resolution.
We added that when no
funds are provided and even our executives are compelled to make expenditure
for flag hoisting on Independence Day from their pockets due to lack of
approval of temporary advance, then how these Circle/BA Heads are writing
threatening letters needs to be ascertained. We stressed that there is a need
to build team spirit and confidence among the workforce to execute such huge
projects which have been started by many of BA/Circle Heads, but some are only
focusing on Perform or Perish and wasting their time in creating fear in the
mind. We added that this is the reason for unrest among executives and
non-executives of BSNL. We handed over the copy of letter written by SNEA on
this subject and requested CMD BSNL to look into unwanted issues being created
by certain officers and give directions to all to create team spirit and
support field units by active support at all levels. Copy <<<>>
We specifically requested
CMD BSNL that with such a huge package and support by the Government of India,
BSNL should have the slogan “Perform and Flourish” and
not “Perform or Perish” as is being projected now. We narrated
that for BSNL executives, the action under 56 J against non-performance is not
new and it has been used for the last many years as per directives of GOI. We
made it clear that we also have no objection if any practically non performer
is taken to the task and made to perish from BSNL. But we have an objection on
counting/ measuring performance of individuals without extending supporting
hand by providing store material, equipments and
minimum required financial support to meet the network requirement.
We narrated that soldiers
cannot fight without weapons and if compelled to fight without weapons, failure
is damn sure. We added that once support is extended by BSNL in updating the
network and infrastructure, everyone in BSNL will Perform
and Flourish and BSNL will also Flourish. We
added that if anyone is not performing even after full support is extended to
him/her then he/she needs to perish and there is no second opinion about it as
he /she is causing damage to others. CMD BSNL informed that he is aware
of the facts and the Perform or Perish is not applicable for performers, but it
is applicable only for non-performers after extending required support. In
conclusion, CMD BSNL assured that there will be immediate steps taken for
extending support to field units and his office will surely take corrective
action as per feedback from CGMs and will extend every support as required by
field units and within two to four months there will be much changes in support
extended to field units and it will be practically visible.
Taking issues of field
units and its timely resolution: We pointed out that there are many
issues faced by Executives working in field units and the same are not coming
to notice of BSNL management and field unit executives are under pressure. We
added that as association we feel that there is need of immediate attention on
such issues and if required, we will bring such unresolved issues to his kind
notice. CMD BSNL responded that all such issues are welcome by his office and
assured to resolve such issues in the best possible manner. He appealed that
association should not raise only problems but should come with alternatives
and suggestions for resolving these problems and firmly assured that management
will take proactive steps on all such suggestions. He directed us that before
bringing issues to his notice, the association may discuss the issues with
concerned Directors and if it is still not resolved, he welcomes all such
issues but stressed that performance by all at all levels is must. He was
optimistic that such an approach of resolution of issues is developed in BSNL and
assured for every support from BSNL management.
Need of Improvement of
Network all over Circles: We have drawn attention of CMD BSNL
about issues faced by the field units due to non-resolution of critical issues
in field units, shortage of stores/ spares required for Mtce
works and poor support by vendors and contractors in executing works and its
direct impact on network of BSNL. CMD BSNL responded that there are issues in
the network of BSNL which need immediate attention and he has already given directions
for resolving these issues. He assured that with support extended by GoI, now the financial support required for the up
gradation of network will be surely extended and within two to four months
period there will be much changes in working conditions and support extended to
field units. He also stressed that it is need of time that every executive
makes an effort to improve the network with minimum expenditure. CMD BSNL was
optimistic that with financial support extended by GoI,
the stores and equipment will practically start reaching to field units within
period of two months with priority to critical works and there will be much
improvement in support extended to field units.
Status of 4G GSM
services by BSNL: On starting 4G services by BSNL and
status of indigenous equipment, CMD BSNL informed that there are certain issues
which are not yet resolved and there is no progress on desirable indigenous 4G
equipment as planned earlier. He further informed that there is delay in
overall works and hence 4G services by BSNL will delay further. He added that
issues are being monitored at a higher level and shortly there will be some
reasonable progress. CMD BSNL added that these are not issues in our hands and
this matter is under direct supervision of higher officers of DoT and GOI and
the critical issues faced as of now will be taken care in days to come. He also
mentioned that Hon. MOC is monitoring progress and was optimistic that issues
will be resolved on priority and BSNL will start 4G services as early as
possible, but as of today no time line can be fixed due to uncertainty on the
issues. He further added that in the meantime BSNL will continue its work in
making ready the infrastructure required for 4G services by BSNL.
Procurement of Battery
and Power Plant: We have once again drawn attention of CMD
BSNL on the difficulties faced by the field units due to life expired Battery
sets and Power plants. The downtime of the BTS is mainly due to life expired
battery sets and power plants. CMD BSNL informed that the matter has been under
active consideration of his office and the proposal for procurement of Battery
sets of Rs 400 Crore is
under active consideration and will be cleared within a week or two. He
also added that this Lithium battery sets are being procured which have better
qualities than the VRLA battery sets. But in the overall process, it will take
time of two to four months and thereafter the majority of life expired Battery
Sets and Power Plants will be replaced. He advised that field units should send
their requirements and be ready with an action plan for replacement of life
expired Battery Sets and Power Plants immediately as and when received without
keeping it in stores.
Procurement of
BNGs: On network up gradation issues, CMD BSNL informed that
BSNL is facing critical issues due to congestion and shortage of BNGs. He added
that the BNG tender opened yesterday got a very good response. He added that he
has just cleared proposal of Rs 297 Crore for procurement of BNGs and these BNGs will be
available in field units in about 2-3 month and stressed that these BNGs needs
to be used with proper planning and its time bound execution to improve Network
to meet present requirement of Network.
Procurement of OFC and
Transmission Equipment: We have also narrated the issues in
Transmission media and impact on growth of BSNL services. CMD BSNL narrated
that the same also is being taken care of and the process for procurement of
15000 Kms of OFC has started and very shortly the OFC
will be available in field units. He also added that procurement of OTN and
CPAN and related equipment is also under process and the present crisis faced
by field units due to shortage of Transmission equipment will be resolved to
better extent in coming days. He added that the issues will be further taken
care of as per suggestions and requirements of field units as BSNL is getting
good amount for improvement of Transmission Network and it is need of time that
we have to use this amount optimistically and in best possible manner for
optimum utilization.
Grant of funds for
Pending Temporary Advances: We reminded CMD BSNL that
in our last discussions, we have pointed out about the pending Temporary
advances which are not sanctioned for want of funds and all these advances are
duly recommended by BA Heads and Circles have requested for funds. We stressed
that there is a need for immediate sanction of temporary advances as many of
the executives have paid this expense from their pockets and are not in
position to pay further from pocket. CMD BSNL once again assured to issue
directions to concerned officers to clear all the payments of pending Temporary
advances in ERP all Circles.
Overall promotional
Prospectus of Executives in BSNL: Association expressed
that when BSNL management is doing so much on the development front, there is a
need of certain actions for improvement on the HR front. We stressed that as of
today Executives in BSNL are under depression due to non-settlement of majority
of HR issues and even issues not involving financial support also are not given
consideration. We narrated that except JTO to SDE promotions that to be before
one year, none of promotions are taken care of and many posts of SDE/AO,
AGM/CAOs/EEs, DGMs in all wings are vacant. We also
added that BSNL is not following the calendar for filling vacant posts by
conducting DPC and LDCE Exams and there is need of much serious efforts. We
stressed that as of today when nothing involving financial implication is
possible in BSNL, but there is no financial implication on promotions and there
should not be any issue in filling all vacant posts in all wings by
promotions.
CMD BSNL responded that
he is not against any promotions, rather he will be most happy if all the
executives are promoted and motivated to meet the challenges in front of BSNL.
But certain issues are created by dragging issues in court cases and complaints
and hence even though management is willing to issue promotion orders, but it
is not possible for many cadres and wings. But he added that management has
intention to promote all executives and special efforts are being made for
introduction of fast-track promotions for executives in BSNL.
CMD BSNL added that till
this mechanism of fast-track promotions is finalized, the present procedure of
promotions through DPC will be given effect so that unrest is given way to a
better extent. He added that efforts are already being made for AGM promotions
starting with Telecom wing and further efforts will be taken to fill up all
vacant posts including the AGM promotions and posts of AGMs which will be
vacant after DGM promotions. CMD BSNL appealed that let this process start with
AGM promotions and thereafter in similar lines promotions to fill up all vacant
posts will be taken care of.
Promotion from SDE to
AGM: We
narrated that there is much unrest among SDEs aspirant of AGM Promotions and
even though matter is discussed and pursued since May 2022, nothing concrete
has been seen in the form of any promotion order. We added that some groups are
spreading nonfactual news/ information and creating further unrest among the
SDEs aspirants for AGM promotions. We further requested CMD BSNL for issuing
promotion order from SDE to AGM without further delay as this has been
abnormally delayed even after the matter has been principally decided by him
before three-four weeks. CMD BSNL updated that as discussed in the last meeting
the team of BSNL has visited DoPT and accordingly
BSNL has sent request for clarification and said clarification is delayed due
to holidays and is expected in coming week and Pers
Section is taking care of other works related to AGM promotions. CMD BSNL was
optimistic that if there are no further issues created by anyone, the AGM
promotions will be issued before the end of August 2022.
Future of Internal MT
Exam conducted by BSNL: On a query regarding MT recruitment based
on recently published internal MT exam results, CMD replied that meritorious
executives will be given career advancement in a fast-track manner so that the
employee and company will be benefited. He pointed out that MT is one of the
attempts to promote internal talent of BSNL in a fast-track manner. There are
certain issues with the further process of MT and his office is taking care of
it. We have brought it to notice of CMD BSNL that there is unrest among the
successful MT candidates as many news are being spread that the ongoing process
of MT is being scrapped by BSNL Management with intervention and directions of
Hon. MoC GOI. CMD BSNL informed that no assurance has
been given to anyone to stop the process of internal MT recruitment and he has
not received any directions from the office of Hon. MOC to stop the ongoing
Internal MT Process. CMD BSNL stressed that there is a need to explore the
talent within BSNL and by reviewing issues faced in the ongoing process of
Internal MT, matter will be decided shortly. CMD BSNL stressed that BSNL has to
be ready with its own management at least by 2027 as per approval of GoI and hence such proactive actions are required on part
of BSNL.
On fear among BSNL
executives about recruitment of External MT, CMD BSNL informed that as of now
there is no proposal for recruitment of External MTs and matter will be
reviewed from time to time. We narrated that, SNEA opposes the External MT as
there is ample talent within the BSNL and this talent should be given
opportunity to lead at Management level and BSNL can a get good number of
executives for management level among them. CMD BSNL responded that the matter
will be suitably reviewed and informed in clear words that at present there is
no proposal to start the process for External MT and the matter of ongoing
process of Internal MT will be taken care of in days to come.
Deployment of ITS
Officers in BSNL: We have drawn attention of CMD BSNL about
the letter from DoT and news of additional deputation of 560 ITS
Officers in BSNL against reduced restructuring Norms causing heavy financial
burden on BSNL. CMD BSNL informed that these 560 will not be additional
officers to be posted to BSNL but this figure is inclusive of the ITS Officers
already working in on deputation in BSNL, BBNL and MTNL i.e. 373 ITS officers
in BSNL, 47 in MTNL and 112 in BBNL. He added that there may be addition
of very few i.e. about 20 to 30 to fill up vacant posts of BA/Vertical heads in
different Circles. Out of total 158 BAs in BSNL 28 are not having regular heads
and posts of some of vertical heads are also vacant. The figure approved for
deputation of total 560 ITS officers is well within the sanctioned posts of
GMs/PGMs in BSNL, BBNL and MTNL. This is mainly an extension of the deputation
period which is over and during this period BSNL has to get ready with its
management.
CMD BSNL elaborated that the
figure of deputed GM and above level officers is well within the sanctioned
posts and there will not be any excess officer posting. We have drawn attention
of CMD BSNL that many of the ITS Officers are unwilling to continue or join
BSNL on deputation and some of them have also approached the court of law. We
requested that ITS officers unwilling to continue in BSNL should be allowed to
go back to DoT and there should not be a compulsion to unwilling ITS officers
to join BSNL. CMD BSNL responded that BSNL is not deciding this issue and
this issue is to be decided by DoT and now DoT also has constituted
three-member Committee chaired by Member (Services) DoT of which CMD BSNL is
member for finalizing posting of ITS officers in BSNL and the decision on posting
of any ITS officer in BSNL and MTNL will be taken by this committee. CMD BSNL
added that BSNL requires performing management and the GoI
is also thinking in the same line and hence a screening mechanism is devised
for entry of ITS officers in BSNL/MTNL.
With classic examples, we
categorically brought to notice of CMD BSNL that in place of one justified
posts of GM level Officer, two officers are posted and this new posting is done
after VRS, which makes it clear that priority is given to interest of individual
and not to the interest of the BSNL. We also added that there are some BA Head
posts that are vacant for months/years together, but at some places more than
justified BA/Vertical Heads are posted and working since before VRS. CMD BSNL
informed that this matter is being reviewed and GM level Officers will be
posted at BA level and Vertical Heads and no one will be posted as OA Head
which will be managed by DGM level officers. He also assured that the GM level
officers posted more than the justified strength will be shifted in the coming
review of posting of BA Heads.
We also emphasized that
many GM level officers are rotated at regular intervals but some are continued
at the same place for years together. CMD BSNL informed that this issue will be
reviewed while further posting of officers and if any officer is continuing
beyond prescribed norms of posting at any BA/Circle, the same will be taken
care. In conclusion CMD BSNL categorically mentioned that now performance will
be reviewed regularly as per prescribed norms and everyone has to perform and
if BA Head perform then only his team can perform and hence entire focus will
be kept on performance of BA Heads.
Time Bound Promotions for Executives in
BSNL: We have drawn attention
of CMD BSNL towards demand for more posts of AGMs in the recent past and stand
of management to fill up only vacant posts. We requested CMD BSNL for restoring
Time Bound Promotions for executives in BSNL to overcome all the problems faced
due to vacancy and different court matters and complaints thereof. We have
reminded that DoT also has written BSNL to review the Time Bound Promotions
after the VRS scenario. We specially added that after VRS, the need of Time
Bound policy for replacing existing posts based policy is a need of time
otherwise there will not be any promotion in BSNL in coming days.
CMD BSNL informed that management is working on fast track
promotion for BSNL executives and matter will be decided shortly. We requested
that fast track promotions may be there but there is a need to continue the
existing time Bound non-functional promotions as functional promotions. The
present proposal moved by management for promotion after completion of 12 years
and that to be on Adhoc basis is against the
assurances of five time bound promotions for executives in BSNL. We stressed
that if management wants to review this policy, we do not have any issue and
our only concern is to give promotions in a time bound manner of Five years and
whatever promotion it should be regular and not Adhoc.
We also stressed that there should not be any bar of promotions at any level on
the name of educational qualification and all executives in the feeding cadre
should be promoted without any such biased division at a later stage. We
requested to discuss the issues in depth with this association before moving
with the present proposal of review of RRs with eligibility criteria of minimum
12 years service and that to be Adhoc.
CMD BSNL reiterated that management will go ahead with its aim to promote the
executives in a fast track manner and implementation of Time Bound Functional
Promotions will be difficult and directed us to discuss this issue with
Director HR.
Implementation of
Standard Pay Scales in BSNL: We narrated that when BSNL is getting
this much funds and projects from the Government of India, there these projects
and works are to be implemented in BSNL by the executives at JTO/JAO, SDE/AO
level. But these executives are facing losses of 10 to 15 thousand per month
and there is an immediate need of addressing this issue. CMD BSNL replied that
by analyzing the issues he is of the opinion that this issue has been closed by
DoT and the association should not insist for it.
We narrated how the issue
can be closed with misleading clarification by DoT and it is an issue causing
loss of thousands of rupees per month to thousands of Executives in BSNL who
are working at the forefront for BSNL. We added that how pay scales can be
lowered as directed by DoT vide presidential order which has not been
implemented in BSNL over the last five years. CMD BSNL responded that the past
is past and now this is not affordable to BSNL. When we insisted much, then CMD
BSNL responded that such financial issues cannot be raised with DoT at this
stage when we are getting financial support from DoT/GoI
and practically works are not yet started. We stressed that whatever support
given by DoT will be useful only if it is utilized to the full strength &
capacity of BSNL and its executives. We added that when more than 50%
executives in BSNL are facing losses in monthly pay and working under fear of
further lowering the pay scales, the desired results cannot be possible in
BSNL.
Finally, CMD BSNL agreed
to the concern expressed by association and added that such issues cannot be
raised during the current scenario wherein the chances of positive response
from DoT and GOI may be less and matter can be reviewed after some good
performance of BSNL in coming one or two years. We responded that DoT has
conveyed in April 2022 that the revised request of BSNL for higher standard pay
scales is not accepted and rejected and if BSNL will not respond at this stage
this issue will be dead and closed forever. This will be lifetime reduction in
salary of BSNL executives who have joined BSNL with very high qualifications
like GATE/CA etc and hence there is need of immediate
action from BSNL by replying the recent letter of DoT about Standard Pay Scales
and how it is difficult to lowering Pay Scales as proposed by DoT. This
response by BSNL will keep this issue alive and we as
association will pursue with DoT for its administrative approval as being
demanded by BSNL. After elaborate discussions, CMD BSNL assured to review the
stand and respond to the letter DoT issued in April 2022 about Standard Pay
Scales.
Grant of Third PRC for BSNL: We requested CMD BSNL about the need for settlement of demand of 3rd PRC
which has been abnormally delayed as linked to profit. We have drawn the attention
of CMD BSNL that it only is in BSNL that for the same work different salaries
are paid on the basis of absorption and deputation. Here the absorbed senior
ITS officer is getting less salary as compared to his junior who is not
absorbed in BSNL and working on deputation. Same is the case with other
executives and non-executives who are either recruited by BSNL or absorbed in
BSNL. We added that such discrimination is reason for unrest in BSNL workforce
starting from TM to CGMs and if funds allotted by GOI are to be utilised
properly then there is need to settle this discrimination among the workforce
of BSNL. We added that one side BSNL is compelled to provide services by
bearing losses and on the other side we executives are denied the right of 3rd PRC
in name of losses made by BSNL. Now GoI also has
identified the strength of BSNL and recognised BSNL as a strategic PSU and
extended strong financial support to BSNL. We requested CMD BSNL to use his
good relations with DoT and GoI for approval of 3rd PRC
for BSNL so that a new wave of energy is created among the executives and
mission and targets given by GoI are achieved in
given time.
CMD BSNL responded that he agrees with concern expressed by
association that 3rd PRC is a need of time and if the discussions
held in the past were successful, BSNL would have got the 3rd PRC.
But unfortunately the dialogue between Unions /Associations and GoI failed. Now after Covid 19,
due to financial conditions it has become more difficult to get approval or
even to discuss about 3rd PRC. He further added that in his
opinion the only possibility of getting 3rd PRC is through
performance. CMD BSNL added that if within a period of one year some progress
is shown by BSNL and if we could achieve even 80% of the targets assigned in
this year, then there will be no issue in getting PRC for the workforce of
BSNL.
CMD BSNL stressed that if BSNL is getting a good amount of revenue
by providing quality services then only the matter of PRC can be discussed by
BSNL with DoT and GoI. He added that the revival
package has been announced and work as per the revival package 2.0 is just
starting and at this stage if the demand of 3rd PRC is raised,
then it will be denied as seen in the past. CMD BSNL added that he and many
senior officers who have been absorbed in BSNL are also in need of 3rd PRC,
but this can be accepted if BSNL is showing some positive sign over this year.
CMD BSNL added that once we start performing as per targets
assigned, then GoI will on its own, grant the 3rd PRC
for BSNL and there will not be any need for any efforts by anyone else. He
added that BSNL has shown EBITDA profit in the last two years and similar
performance in the coming year will also strongly support this demand. CMD BSNL
advised us that this is not the right time to raise this demand and it is time
for showing our performance and once we show some good performance, he will be
at front to support this demand. In conclusion, he assured that 3rd PRC
is must for BSNL workforce and assured that he will put his word at right time
and till then all should keep focus on overall growth of BSNL by utilising
funds allotted by GoI under revival package and
strongly support the demand of 3rd PRC by actions.
We had elaborate discussions of about one hour on different points.
The meeting which started at 1140 Hrs, concluded at
1250 Hrs.
In conclusion we once again congratulated CMD BSNL and conveyed
thanks and gratitude for his efforts and assured him for total support of SNEA
in the revival of BSNL. CMD BSNL appreciated the steps taken by SNEA in support
of revival of BSNL and firmly assured that BSNL management will come forward by
resolving the difficulties faced by field units and appealed that each and
every executive of BSNL should given his best in coming
two years and secure his future and bright carrier in BSNL. CMD BSNL once again
pointed out that if we all at BSNL will miss this opportunity this time then
there will be no second opportunity and hence everybody has to understand
seriousness and act accordingly by giving his/her best.

27
July 2022 : Six
Monthly OTP Request Transfers :
Jt. GM Pers
BSNL CO issued orders making changes in present Quarterly OTP Request transfers
to Six Monthly OTP Request Transfers. Copy <<<>>
As per earlier procedure the OTP requests
were to be submitted on Quarterly basis and now it is modified to six monthly.
In earlier guidelines date of
consideration of request was also mentioned but same is not mentioned in these
revised guidelines and uncertainty in considering transfers continues as seen
in the past.
The quarterly request was good
option for Executives working at All India Hard/Soft tenure stations and now
these Executives will have to apply six months before completion of their Hard
/Soft tenure, so that request can be consideration just before completion of
Tenure. SNEA CHQ will take up matter for accepting the application before six
months of completion of Tenure.
SNEA CHQ will discuss with Pers Cell for suitable options for accepting request from
All India Hard/Soft Tenure Stations and request on Critical illness/Medical
ground transfers which cannot wait for six months and consideration of all such
requests needs to be done on priority.
The OTP window for Request to be
submitted in present quarter is Open and one who want request transfer in this
quarter may apply for it and from next quarter, the procedure will be operated
six monthly.
The OTP Requests submitted in last
year but could not be considered till today are rejected and individuals may have
received SMS for same and same can be checked from ESS. All such
executives are requested for review of their request and either they should opt
for any other Circle or opt for same Circle and wait for the policy which is
being framed by BSNL CO for considering requests to Circles having Excess
Executive strength. SNEA CHQ has requested such policy in our last meeting with
Director HR and such policy is under consideration.
Till there are any suggestions in
improvement of this OTP transfer policy same may be submitted to Shri. Pavitra Singh AGS HQ {Mob 9415046646} email sneaagshq@ gmail.com.
SNEA CHQ will take up all such
issues for smooth functioning of OTP Portal as well as the hardship of
executives is reduced to better extent.
Let us hope that though requests
will be accepted six monthly, all the requests submitted are given
consideration in Uniform Policy manner and not as done on pick and choose basis
during quarterly transfers.

:
Reconciliation Meeting
with DyCLC New Delhi: {Report by Shri. Pavitra Singh AGS HQ) :
As per the notice issued by the DyCLC the reconciliation meeting of SNEA and BSNL
Management was held at 1500 Hrs on 30/06/2022 and it
was chaired by Shri. Abhijeet Kumar Dy Chief Labour Commissioner (DyCLC) New Delhi. From Management side, the meeting
was attended by Mrs. Sunita Arora, DGM SR BSNL
CO and Shri. Krishna Murari Ruhela, AGM SR BSNL CO. From association side the
meeting was attended by Shri. M S. Adasul, GS SNEA
CHQ, Shri. Pavitra Singh, AGS SNEA HQ and Shri. Sumit Saxena JS Central SNEA CHQ.
The discussions started from the
previous discussions held in reconciliation meeting held on 04/03/2022, which
was focused on settlement of two Major demands viz. Standard Pay Scales and
Time Bound Promotions for executives in BSNL. At the outset, we conveyed thanks
to DyCLC for kind intervention and arranging
reconciliation meetings for resolution of two burning issues of BSNL
executives. DyCLC asked representatives of management
about the status of two demands as discussed in meeting dated 03/04/2022. DGM
SR BSNL CO informed that they have given compliance vide letter No. BSNL/7-1/SR Dated 11/05/2022 addressed to associations
and same is final status. {Copy <<<>>>}
When DyCLC
asked exact progress and stand of the management, it was informed that
settlement of both the demands is not possible and same has been conveyed to
associations. DyCLC specifically asked stand of
management on both the demands and DGM SR informed in clear words that stand of
management is that both the demands cannot be settled. Then DyCLC
asked say of SNEA on this stand of BSNL management and we have narrated that
management cannot run away from the responsibility just saying not possible and
has to justify its say.
In response it was reported by DGM
SR that after VRS Time Bound Promotions are not possible in BSNL and demand of
E2 and E3 standard pay scales is rejected by DoT and nothing is in hands of
BSNL. She also added that management is trying for giving functional and fast
track promotions to executives in BSNL but nothing can be done for E2 and E3
Pay Scales to JTO/SDE and equivalent cadres in BSNL and matter is as good as
closed on part of BSNL.
We have brought to the notice of DyCLC that the information submitted representatives of
Management is wrong and is nonfactual and there needs to be confirmed the
facts. Then as per directions of DyCLC, the
discussions held on both the points separately.
On time Bound Promotions, it was
reported by the management that Time Bound Promotions are not possible in BSNL
in post VRS changed scenario and hence this demand cannot be accepted. She
added that these officers are demanding promotions every Four years which is
not possible. He added that in place of Time Bound Promotions, management is
trying to give Functional promotions and new methodology of fast-track
promotions is under consideration by revision of RRs. When DyCLC
asked for say of the association, we have narrated that the information given
is nonfactual and misleading. In last reconciliation meeting it was informed by
the management that the Time Bound Promotions are not implemented as the matter
is not cleared by Department of Telecom on issue of reservations in Time Bound
promotions as per concern raised by some associations.
Accordingly, the DyCLC has issued directions to BSNL management to take
issues with Department of Telecom for getting desired clarification by further
persuasion. But, instead of asking and getting clarification on the reservation
issues asked by BSNL, now DoT has issued directions to BSNL Management to review
the Time Bound Promotion Policy in Post VRS restructuring norms. Then we have
read out the following response of DoT word by word.
“The relevant file is under
submission. It is proposed to request BSNL for reconsideration of their
proposal based on the present staff structure and strength post VRS and to
submit the same for re-examination of BSNL Board. We added that it means
the file on query raised by BSNL on issues of reservation is under submission
and accordingly clarification is not yet received from DoT.
Further the directions are given
for review of Time Bound policy proposal based on present staff structure and
strength available post VRS. But even after two months period has bene passed, no further action has been taken by BSNL. We
are pursuing for same and it was assured to look into it positively and we are
repeatedly assured to resolve the issues with dialogue.
We added that on reservation issue
also recently DoPT has issued guidelines on
12/04/2022 and same are endorsed by DoT and BSNL and applicable for promotions
in BSNL. Further, within BSNL also, these guidelines are accepted by all
stakeholders of Time Bound Promotions of Executives i.e. both recognized
associations, Welfare Association and the management in special meeting held by
initiatives of SR cell BSNL CO and minutes of the meeting are also signed by
all. {Copy <<<>>>}.
We narrated that BSNL has issued
thousands of promotions through DPC wherein reservation issue is not reported
and if reported same is resolved by proactive actions by BSNL Management. But
same is raised in Time Bound Functional Promotions and query is raised with
DoT, same is not replied even after years. As such there is no need on
part of BSNL to wait for fresh clarification on reservation issue as asked in
past and BSNL has to act on the DoPT guidelines or
resolve this issue at its own.
We further added that there is no
single rupee expenditure on part of BSNL to implement this Time Bound Promotion
policy and to replace the Non-Functional Promotions as Financial Upgradation by Functional Promotions. We elaborated that
when DGM SR is informing that Time Bound Promotions are not possible in BSNL,
she is giving misleading information as the Time Bound Promotion Policy for DGM
and above level officers is implemented in BSNL and same also made available
for non-Executives but same is denied to us by giving unjustified reason of
issues of reservation which also is resolved now.
During discussions, when DyCLC asked us what is position of members of SNEA in BSNL
management as quoted by DGM SR. We have clarified that we are serving at middle
management. It was reported by AGM SR that the representatives are part of the
management and GS SNEA is also DGM level officer. We narrated that when it is
matter of quoting designation, then management is quoting it as Officers, but
while giving benefits we are not given treatment as part of the management and
this is reason for unrest among executives. When issues are of responsibility,
we are reminded being officer and when it is matter of getting any benefit, we
are treated as bounded workers and this is reason why we are agitating. Thus it
is crystal clear that stand of management expressed by DGM SR that time Bound
Promotions is not possible in BSNL is not correct and BSNL management has to
give equal treatment to the officers in the management.
DyCLC asked about action
taken by BSNL on the recent directions of DoT dated 28/04/2022 and it was informed
by DGM SR that no action has been taken on it till today. We have responded
that this is only our request that BSNL management has to take positive steps
in grating the Time Bound Promotions to left out executives in BSNL and it
cannot be denied for any reason.
After understanding both the sides
on the first issue of Time Bound promotions, the DyCLC
asked for opinion and progress of both the sides on second demand of E2 &
E3 Standard pay scales for JTOs and SDE equivalent grades. It was replied by DGM
SR that the same has been rejected by DoT and she read out word by word the
reply received from DoT which is reproduced as follows. {Copy <<<>>>}
The Presidential Order dated
28/03/2017, was issued with the approval of Hon’ble MoC after extensive examination and elaborate
consultations/discussions at higher levels. DPE had also endorsed this order and
has not suggested for any changes. Further, the proposal for upgradation of E1 and E2 scales will invariably have
cascading effect on all scales. Hence the proposal of BSNL for upgrading the
scales cannot be agreed to. By quoting these lines DGM SR cleared that as per
this letter, the demand of SNEA for implementation of E2 and E3 pay scales for
JTOs and SDEs cannot be given consideration by BSNL management.
DyCLC asked for say of the
SNEA and we have responded that the interpretation and say of the management is
wrong and misleading. The Presidential Order dated 28/03/2017, quoted in the
reply by DoT is not implemented in BSNL as it is leading towards the lowering
of pay scales and after this letter also BSNL has repeatedly requested DoT for
approval of Standard Pay scales for executives in BSNL. We narrated that DPE
has issued guidelines for Standard Pay scales and mainly for replacement of
intermediate E1A and E2A scales operational only in BSNL by E2 and E3 scales.
These DPE guidelines are endorsed by DoT to BSNL and BSNL has acted on it and
requested for approval of Standard Pay Scales E2 in place of existing E1A Pay
Scale and E3 in place of E2A scales.
But DoT is responding for
replacement of E1A Scales by E1 and E2A Pay Scales by E2 which is downgrading
of existing pay scales in BSNL which cannot be accepted by association and it
is fortunate that BSNL also has not accepted this demand. We have conveyed
thanks to BSNL Management for such support to its executives. We added that it
is assumed by BSNL since formation of BSNL in 2000 that entry level scale in
BSNL was E1A and after 17 years DoT says that it is E1 which is not correct.
During these 17 years gap, BSNL has recruited thousands of JTOs/JAOs in E1A
Scales. This issue was first underlined after creation of Pay anomaly in 2007,
BSNL has decided to settle grievances by grating E1 plus five increments.
But in future course of time, these
five increments also could not cover losses of young executives in BSNL and
hence BSNL has decided to upgrade these scales E1A to E2 and is in need of only
administrative approval of DoT. But over the years, the required administrative
approval is not conveyed by DoT as matter is twisted by conveying approval for upgradation of E1A Scale to E1, which was never request of
BSNL. Due to seriousness of the issues, BSNL has not implemented the
Presidential Order Dated 23/03/2017 and repeatedly requested to DoT for
approval of E2 and E3 Scales.
We updated DyCLC
that during our discussions with DoT Officers, we have queried about the fact
how the E1A Pay scale are being downgraded by DoT and it was replied that it
was result of one of the court cases in 2017 and contempt Petition from CAT
Chandigarh against senior officers of DoT. The contempt was why DoT is not
issuing Presidential order and it was not to issue Presidential Order for upgradation of E1A Scale to E2. DoT has technically
complied with the contempt petition by issuing the Presidential order dated
23/03/2017 and lowering or upgradation of pay scales
was not the issue of contempt petition. It was reported that the time was short
to comply the petition by clearing issue about upgradation
of Pay Scales by verifying facts. Hence the compliance order was issued as
standard order and it was just attempted to close the contempt petition.
We added that the cascading effect
quoted by DoT in this letter is not demand of BSNL or affected executives and
hence fear of cascading effect as expressed in this letter from DoT is
unwanted. We informed that DoT has approved VRS package by support of
Government of India which in thousands of Crores and
here demand of Standard Pay scales is raised by BSNL which will have
expenditure of Rs 100 to 110 Crore
per year only administrative approval is required from DoT as expenditure will
be borne by BSNL and no burden lies with DoT. We added that we have
elaborated all these issues worthy CMD BSNL and requested BSNL to take up issue
of Standard Pay Scales as fresh at higher level and detailed letter is
submitted recently. {Copy <<<>>>}.
In conclusion, we pleaded that we
have already requested to BSNL management to stick to its recommendations and
continue to raise the issue with DoT only for administrative approval at higher
level. We expressed that in this reconciliation meeting also we were expecting
similar stand from representatives of the Management, but we are surprised to
see the totally negative stand in contradiction of discussions held in meeting
chaired by Director HR on 10/05/2022, which was specially held as conciliation
meeting after withdrawal of historical 66 days agitational
programme by SNEA.
DyCLC asked what about
package to be given to BSNL by DoT as discussed in last meeting and why cannot
be these demand part of that package. It was informed by DGM SR that the
proposal on revival Package is under consideration but it does not include the
demand of Standard Pay Scales. We added that DoT and Government of India is
really supporting BSNL and we appreciate efforts of CMD BSNL in getting such
support from Government of India. But whatever support will be extended will be
in form of different projects to be implemented by BSNL and the executives at
level of JTO/SDE who are deprived of Standard pay scales and pay loss have to
play important role I implementation of these projects as they are backbone of
BSNL and are directly involved in practical implementation of such projects in
BSNL. Due to this reason only BSNL is recommending Standard pay scales every
time at different intervals since last ten years.
After understanding the issues and
say of both the sides on both the issues, DyCLC
expressed that BSNL management has to take action on the instructions received
from DoT and initiate steps for resolution of issues as agitated by SNEA. He
added that if no action is taken on settlement of the issues, his office will
be not left with any other option in allowing association to continue their
protest as it is their right to agitate on non-settlement of genuine demands
well agreed and accepted by BSNL as seen in the past records.
While checking compliance given by
AGM SR vide letter dated {Copy <<<>>>}, the DyCLC
was surprised to see name of association in this letter which is not party to
agitation. It was replied by AGM SR BSNL CO that the letter given to
associations is the compliance as its copy is marked to DyCLC
as compliance.
After look at casual compliance
given by AGM SR, DyCLC categorically asked for the
compliance of his office letter dated 24/03/2022 and the compliance given by
AGM SR is not acceptable. DyCLC expressed his
displeasure and informed that this is not proper approach and he need compliance on happening and action taken by BSNL for
resolution of the issues as per proceedings of reconciliation meetings.
In conclusion of proceedings, DyCLC directed BSNL Management to submit detail compliance
on action taken for resolution of issues and its copy may be given to GS SNEA
within weeks’ time. He further directed that SNEA should submit its views
on compliance given by BSNL within weeks’ time. Accordingly next reconciliation
meeting is fixed after two weeks i.e. on 14/07/2022 wherein issues will be
discussed on the basis of the written say of both the parties. The proceedings
concluded with signature of all participants of meeting on minutes of the
proceedings.
In conclusion of proceedings, we
have conveyed thanks to DyCLC for his initiatives and
directions to BSNL for resolution of issues and DGM SR and AGM SR BSNL CO for
consent to submit compliance as asked by DyCLC.

Consideration of Inter
Circle OTP Request Transfers:
SNEA CHQ getting frequent calls from its members calls about
Pending OTP Request Transfers. Accordingly we have taken up matter of pending
Inter Circle OTP Request Transfers of Executives with Shri. R.K. Goyal, PGM Pers BSNL CO and
he is kind enough to assure that all the OTP Request except requests to Circles
having Excess executives will be given consideration by end of June 2022.
Accordingly work has been started
and hopefully OTP Requests of all wings will be given consideration. OTP Requests
for J&K Circle are more, these requests will be given consideration as per
waiting list published.
If any of the executive who has
applied for OTP Request Transfer earlier, but do not want this transfer now,
but could not withdraw his /her request from OTP, is requested to send his
written representation to AGM Pers I, BSNL CO in case
of AGM Cadre and to AGM Pers II, BSNL CO in case of
SDE Cadre.
We have taken up matter for
provision of option for withdrawal of OTP Request and it is assured that suitable
changes will be made in ERP, but it is possible only after next Quarter and not
possible in present Quarter of OTP. As per modification in OTP transfer
guidelines, once Transfer order is issued, it will not be cancelled.
As such, Executives concerned who
have applied under OTP for Inter Circle Transfers, are requested to be alert
and submit his/her representation for withdrawal of OTP without any further
delay or be ready for joining at the designated Circle as per OTP
Request.
