GS and AGS AIGETOA today met authorities at the Personal Section and requested to ensure filing of reply by BSNL in hearing on court case pertaining to the promotions from JTO to SDE Case.

Every time BSNL advocate is seeking time for the detailed reply which is not good on the part of BSNL to delay the hearings.

It was assured to us that by today evening, reply will be sent to Punjab Circle.

As intimated earlier that after consistent follow up by Team AIGETOA with management regarding notional promotion from 2018 for the AGM’s whose DPC was completed in June 2018 but promotion orders were issued in November 2022, VC was called. Now VC of all those AGMs have been received in the vigilance Section. AIGETOA is pursuing hard to get the orders issued as early as possible and we are likely to achieve the same by next week.

Dear Friends, with issuance of this Notional Promotions, decks will be cleared for regularization of provisional promotions held in 2018 and their seniority finalization. Almost all the roadblocks in the regularization of these AGMs are clear now. Once these promotions held in 2018 are regularised, the posts available in DGM grade can be used for further promotions. This will open the doors of many more promotions from AGM to DGM, SDE to AGM and JTO to SDE, as per the methodology proposed by AIGETOA. The AIGETOA CHQ Team is working hard to achieve the desired results of promoting all eligible executives across various streams and grades.

GS AIGETOA Sh Ravi Shil Verma writes to CMD BSNL Sh P K Purwar Ji with request for settling the pending bottlenecks in promotions, considering the promotions of all eligible executives who have completed their residency period to settle the unrest and demotivation amongst all the executives.

Methodology proposed by AIGETOA and agreed earlier by management to consider as stated below:

First step is to consider the notional promotions of the AGMs whose DPC has been done in June 2018 (Around 55-60 in number) and issue their promotion orders wef June 2018 and finalize their seniority positions. The VC of these executives have already been called and it is requested to issue the orders without any further delay.

With BSNL taking the firm decision on the issue of Own Merit – On Merit in line with the opinion given by DoP&T and executing the promotions in various grades as per the Hon’ble Supreme Court Decision and the DoP&T guidelines dated 12.04.2022, the dispute in the seniority is now settled with BSNL/DoP&T taking the decision at the highest level. The DoP&T guidelines dated 12.04.2022 is taking care of all such disputes and the only need was to issue a final seniority list of these executives. This was agreed by the management during discussions with AIGETOA and we request for a very expeditious action on the same on war footing basis now.

Settlement of the provisional promotions to regular promotions will result in counting the residency period of the AGMs promoted in 2018 to regular and all these executives will be eligible to occupy the posts of DGMs having served more than the requisite residency period.

GS AIGETOA Sh Ravi Shil Verma writes to CMD BSNL Sh P K Purwar Ji regarding resolution of the long pending issue of reversal of LDCE 2007 passed SDEs by restoring and extending them their original seniority position.

We have time and again been highlighting this issue that whatever may be the circumstances, these executives were not at fault and its only because of the lapse on the part of officers dealing with the matter, this unfortunate situation has occurred. With the latest observation of Hon’ble CAT Madras on the applicability of the Clause 5 of SDE RR 2002 on the matter, we find its opportune time for the management to settle the issue as per the commitment made earlier and execute the promotions subject to the outcome of the court.
