As per earlier schedule, CHQ Team of AIGETOA consisting of AIP CHQ Shri Ravi Shil Verma , VP CHQ Shri B K Mehta and OS Shri Vivek Kumar Singh met Director HR on 4th Sept 2020. Director HR Shri Arvind Vadnerkar, Shri Arun Kumar PGM Pers, Shri A M Gupta, Sr GM SR and Shri Manish Kumar GM restructuring was present from Management Side. Following issues were discussed:
JTO to SDE DPC
It was informed by PGM Pers that they are waiting for the judgement copy. After receipt of Judgement copy, final opinion of the advocate shall be taken and action shall be initiated accordingly. We sought clarification that whether there is any deviation from process decided earlier. It was told that there is no such deviation from earlier stand and since judgement has been pronounced, management just wants to be doubly sure of process adopted by them. We extended our thanks and requested PGM Pers to ensure that Promotions from JTO to SDE happens within the month of September itself and process for next DPC and LDCE is notified soon thereafter. We are hoping that management will keep it’s words for issuance of promotions within this one month.
SDE Reversal:
It was informed that complete data has been compiled and the documents have been shared with all committee members. The committee was scheduled to meet in the last week itself but due to sudden demise of close relative of one of the committee members, meeting has been postponed and shall be held once he rejoins. We request all our affected friends to exercise a little bit of more patience. Some times things go beyond our hands. This is one of the same situation. It is difficult for the committee to give report in the absence of one of the committee members. We are expecting this issue to be resolved very soon.
Publication of Seniority List for the VY 2007-08 onwards:
We requested for immediate publication of the subsequent lists. It was informed that legal opinion has been sought from the Senior advocate dealing with the case earlier. Any further action shall be taken only after receipt of legal opinion. We categorically told that VY based Seniority is our right and any deviation from this will lead to injustice for all affected SDEs and shall not be in line with what RR states. Management assured that your right will be protected and justice will prevail .We expect a positive outcome on this issue soon.
BA Merger and Restructuring:
We highlighted discrepancies of the proposed structure especially with respect to Geographical Distance and Positional norms in various grades. We shared the feedback received from various circle members and OBs with management. We also shared our strong opposition on any reduction in the number promotional posts and categorically stated that any reduction in the number of posts beyond stipulated guidelines shall be strongly opposed. We clearly told that management should not consider existing executives as a liability and there should not be any dent to the promotional aspects of executives in the name of reorganisation. We requested for consideration of all pending promotions in all cadres before restructuring. It was decided a detailed meeting shall be further called on the issue to finalise the things in a manner which is beneficial for all. On the issue of shifting of BBNW HQs to Bangaluru, it was informed that the decision has been taken in view that major works of both NCNGN and BBNW are at Bangaluru. We said that such type of change of headquarters should be avoided. However it was assured that no executive will be disturbed from his present place of posting. We once again requested management to reconsider this decision.
The detailed agenda meeting to discuss the issues submitted by association shall be held on 16th Sept 2020.

GS writes to CGM QA & Inspection Circle regarding restricted long distance movement in this pandemic situation- Framing of central pool of officers to move for distant geographical area within T&D Circle to carryout long distance works.
CHQ Team of AIGETOA met different authorities in BSNL Corporate Office to discuss various issues.
A detailed meeting was held with GM(Restructuring) about proposed restructuring and strength in various grades. It is understood that management is contemplating to reduce the post drastically in various grades on the recommendations of the Deloitte Committee and apparently in concurrence of earlier representative association as only they have attended restructuring meeting. But we have registered our protest and conveyed that any reduction in Promotional Posts which hamper the career progression of the Executives will not be accepted. We are looking forward to have a detailed discussion with CMD BSNL on this aspects. However seeing the issuance of three policy related letters in two days is giving us the impression that management is in a tearing hurry to execute their agenda which appears to completely biased against the interest of BSNL executives and hence we request all to be ready for any consequent action program by our association to protect the interests of the executives. We can not remain mute to such one-sided approach of management.
Team also met GM(S&M) and took up the issue of leakage of revenue through PRBT/Bundled VAS services to vendors which is earned by BSNL specially through prime vouchers.
The Team shall be meeting PGM Pers and Director HR tomorrow on Promotion,Seniority List and Reversal Matter. It is understood that meeting of the committee looking into the matter of SDE reversal cases has met yesterday. The detailed outcome shall be uploaded after discussions with authorities.
BSNL CO issued revised instructions for implementation of the orders dated 27.08.2020 from 01.10.2020 instead of 01.09.2020 – Consolidation of Business Areas, Category & Structure of BAs, Rationalization of Work Flow Processes and Delegations of required Administrative and Financial Powers.
