GS AIGETOA writes to CMD BSNL with a request for revision of Minimum Eligibility Service under BSNL Sabbatical Scheme-2026 from 10 Years to 7 Years of Regular Service.
AIGETOA highlighted that several leading Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) have adopted more employee-friendly eligibility conditions for similar sabbatical schemes. Keeping in view the objective of providing flexibility to employees while ensuring organisational efficiency, BSNL Management is requested to align the scheme with prevailing PSU practices.
Accordingly, AIGETOA has requested the Management to kindly reconsider Clause 5.1 of the BSNL Sabbatical Scheme-2026 and revise the eligibility condition from:
“Completion of 10 years of regular service”
to
“Completion of 7 years of regular service.”
Such a revision would make the scheme more practical, equitable and inclusive, enabling a larger section of employees to avail the benefits of the scheme without compromising its objectives of manpower optimization and cost efficiency.
