AIGETOA has been continuously pursuing the critical HR issues of BSNL Executives at all levels. Last week, from 18th to 22nd May 2026, we had a detailed and focused meeting at various levels including the meetings with the PPS to Hon’ble Minister of Communications (MoC) and Hon’ble Minister of State for Communications (MoSC). In the aforesaid meetings, the long pending concerns of BSNL and its employees were discussed comprehensively.
We explained our submissions with respect to creation of the internal managerial hierarchy and the various steps highlighted in our submissions for addressing the issues which BSNL and its employees are facing today. We also highlighted the mannerism in which BSNL executives have been kept devoid of even the basic HR needs. We also explained that the residual issues of 2nd PRC pertaining to the youngest set of BSNL executives are yet pending to be implemented and various committees constituted for resolution in response to our struggle last year has failed to submit their recommendation even after elapse of one year.
We emphasized on the discrimination being faced by BSNL executives in terms of pay, pension and promotion. While from the very same BSNL revenue account, officers on deemed deputation from DoT are getting 7th CPC benefits, CDA increase without any hitch, all the applicable perks and allowances and even promotions against BSNL Posts, the regular absorbed/recruited employees of BSNL are being denied even the basic rights of proper transport allowance, proper TA/DA, proper scales, Proper Medical Facilities, Promotions and 30 percent SAB. Even the IDA increase in BSNL has to go through many check points while no such exercise was taken for CDA implementation.
While the officers on deemed deputation are poised to get 8th CPC benefits, BSNL employees have not been given 3rd PRC. Our emphasis was on One Company: One Policy i.e. Parity in Pay, Perks, Pension and Promotions between the regular employees of BSNL and those on deemed deputation.
The various issues which have erupted in the Annual Transfer Orders issued by BSNL recently were also highlighted.
Subsequently, today morning, AIGETOA submitted a concise one-page brief to Hon’ble MoSC Dr. Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani highlighting the major unresolved issues pertaining to PPP and other key HR matters affecting BSNL Executives.
It has been reliably learnt that thereafter, Hon’ble MoSC has held review meeting on the HR issues with BSNL Management and taken serious cognizance of the pending HR grievances and has issued categorical directions to BSNL Management for expeditious resolution of pressing issues related to:
* Residual issues of 2nd PRC
* Promotions
* Transfers and related HR concerns.
Hon’ble Minister has also held detailed deliberations with respect to creation of Internal Managerial Hierarchy for BSNL. We have earlier explained our proposal in this regard to Hon’ble Minister during our last interaction few days back.
The Hon’ble MoSC has emphasized that legitimate employee grievances should not remain pending without resolution and necessary action should be taken promptly by BSNL and DoT authorities.
We wish to inform that the most pressing issue regarding implementation of 3rd PRC in BSNL requires more time and greater sustained efforts. AIGETOA has already intensified its organizational and policy-level interventions in this regard, including the notice served today on the Bharatiya Doorsanchar Manch, and shall continue to push the efforts for early resolution of all the pending issues. AIGETOA remains fully committed towards safeguarding the interests, dignity and career progression of BSNL Executives and will continue pursuing all issues vigorously till its logical conclusion.
