The representation highlights the need for:

• Implementation of 3rd PRC with an appropriate affordability waiver.
• Delinking of pension revision from pay revision for existing executives.
• Implementation of standard E2 and E3 pay scales and resolution of pay losses being faced by different categories of executives.
• Regular and time-bound promotions and a structured career progression framework.
• Succession planning and leadership development to utilise BSNL’s experienced and professionally qualified manpower.
• Improvement in pay, allowances, superannuation benefits and post-retirement welfare under the principle of “One PSU – One Policy.”
• Operational empowerment and faster decision-making at appropriate levels.

BDM has emphasized that BSNL is a strategic national asset and that the Government’s investments in its revival need to be complemented by operational reforms, a motivated workforce and effective HR policies.

BDM has requested the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s kind and personal intervention for expeditious implementation of the COPU recommendations and necessary directions to DoT/BSNL.
