BSNL Corporate Office, issued order for the retention of SDEs who are under long stay transfer to other circles and have represented for retention on grounds of their ward studying in 12th standard and appearing for Board Examination.
Team AIGETOA earlier took up the matters related to Promotions with Director HR who then guided us to meet PGM Pers for a detailed discussion:
Reversal Issue:
The issue was discussed at length. All the individual representations received from the sufferer executives were submitted in person along with AIGETOA letter. We strongly highlighted that the matter is unduly delayed and it’s high time that BSNL should take a decisive step instead of dragging the matter further in courts. We highlighted when BSNL issued show cause notices, BSNL did it for all and not for individual applicants. Now when the reinstatements are being done, instead of executing the court orders for individual applicants, BSNL should uniformly implement the Court orders and issue promotion orders for all the SDE 2007 reversal affected executives. It was assured to examine the matter in the backdrop of uniformity, national litigation policy and inputs submitted by AIGETOA. The discussion was positive and we sincerely hope that management will extend justice to all the SDE 2007 affected executives. AIGETOA is following up the matter and will not let any further injustice happen.
Issue Related to 147 :
We discussed the matter at length and once again explained the whole matter and requested management to look into the matter in totality instead of reading the judgement in bits and pieces. Management assured to look into the matter and examine the submissions given by AIGETOA.
SDE to AGM LICE Court Cases:
AIGETOA team explained the current situation and gave its suggestions for resolving the issue expeditiously. Management assured for its actions to end the stalemate soon.
JTO to SDE LICE and DPC Court Cases:
Current status was discussed and association requested for pushing the cases aggressively in court so that promotions can be extended in an expeditious manner.
SDE to AGM (T) Promotions:
Fresh Discussion on the issue started. Hopefully we will succeed.
AGM to DGM (CSS) Promotions:
We expressed our resentment on the undue delay and requested to issue the promotion orders. We said the promotions are unnecessarily being dragged and the same should be avoided.
Due to urgency, the meeting was concluded halfway and discussion on the same and promotions related to Finance and others cadres will continue.
Team AIGETOA welcomed the Director Enterprise Designate Shri Papa Sudhakar Rao Ji after his Joining at BSNL Corporate Office as Head Bharatnet and BBNL. We exchanged greetings and extended our best wishes. We also extended our support on all the good endeavours he takes for BSNL.

GS AIGETOA writes to BSNL Management on Mass Exodus of Young and Dynamic Executives from BSNL, a concerning trend which BSNL must address with priority. GS AIGETOA emphasizes upon the fact that as many as 30 percent of the newly recruited JAOs and as many as 40 percent of the newly recruited JTOs have left the organization which is an alarming trend but never taken into cognizance by BSNL.
GS AIGETOA highlights that the mass exodus of these skilled professionals indicates a systemic issue within BSNL HR Policies that requires immediate attention. We believe the root causes of this situation are multifaceted, stemming from several longstanding grievances that have been repeatedly highlighted by AIGETOA but have largely remained unaddressed.
GS AIGETOA highlights the major reasons behind this attrition namely:
1. Working Conditions.
2. Stagnant Career Progression and Unjust HR Policies.
3. Non-Resolution of issues of Standard Pay Scales of E2 for JTOs/JAOs, non-settlement of issues related to pay loss and non-implementation of 3rd PRC.
4. Unfulfilled 30% Superannuation Benefits.
5. Lack of Revised TA/DA, non-availability of sufficient medical cover and non-extension of perks and allowances.
In light of these issues, GS AIGETOA urges CMD BSNL to take immediate actions to address these concerns comprehensively. This includes implementing a fair and timely promotion policy, revising pay and allowances, fulfilling all promised benefits, and fostering a conducive working environment that supports the professional growth of BSNL employees.

As informed earlier, BSNL CO has issued the fresh instructions for Rule 8 online applications. AIGETOA has been actively following up on the matter and providing input, most of which has been incorporated into the issued guidelines.┬аIt was the endeavour of AIGETOA to make the complete process online and transparent and finally the same has been achieved by AIGETOA. The portal was to be made live in July but the same got delayed due to some last minute bug fixes. The existing waiting list will hold priority over the new applications.
We extend our thanks to Director HR and PGM Establishment and ERP team for making this online process successful.
