Meeting continued for nearly two hours.

Issue wise update is as follows.

Std pay scale issue:

DIR HR appreciated the concern and assured to take up the issue immediately with DoT. Association representatives requested management to inform DOT in clear terms that there is no cascading effect and only initial two scales of JTO/JAO and SDE/AO and equivalent grades are to be replaced. Director HR assured for the same and informed that they shall be taking the matter with DoT immediately. Director HR also scheduled an exclusive meeting on pay scales and pay loss related issues on 15th July 2022 wherein PGM Establishment and other related officials will remain present to finalize the way forward and next course of action to resolve this long pending issue.

Pay loss Issue:

AIGETOA requested DIR HR to instruct the committee formed for pay loss issue to revisit 22820 issue and find out way to resolve the same and submit the recommendations.

Further, the association also requested DIR HR for the formation of Committee for E1+5 and DR JE to JTO pay loss issue.

Director HR assured to look into the issue as suggested by the association. These issues shall also be discussed in the exclusive meeting on 15th July 2022.

Immediate termination of MT internal recruitment process:

Association categorically informed that any discussion on amicable resolution of issues shall take place only if the current MT Recruitment process is immediately put on hold and MTRRs are scrapped. After lots of discussion and deliberation on the issue, Dir HR finally agreed to address the concerns raised by the association and assured to take necessary action in this regard. We made our point very clear that only assurance will not work and an immediate necessary action should be taken to restore the confidence of Executives.

AGM Promotion:

After detailed discussion and facts presented by AIGETOA team to ensure the utilisation of complete strength of AGM plus DGM strength combined together. We stated that there is precedence in past and all the AGMs who are working as DGM Adhoc and LA may be considered as occupying regular posts and hence these vacancies can also be used for promotions. DIR HR convinced to consider our inputs and ensure promotions from SDE to AGM very shortly. We also requested for initiating the discussion on new MS RRs containing stagnation criteria and fast track promotion mechanism and provisions to be made for the fast track promotions till GM grade. Director HR assured that formal discussions with AIGETOA in this regard shall be initiated soon.

Promotion of AO to CAO and AGM to DGM Regular:

On CAO promotion, DIR HR informed team AIGETOA to wait till the next date of hearing i.e. 23rd Aug 2022 of Hon’ble Chandigarh CAT. Decision will be taken thereafter. We emphasized upon relaxation of 15-16 days in the cut off and ensure the filling up of all vacancies of CAO cadre. Discussion on AGM to DGM grade promotions shall also be held shortly wherein we emphasised that all adhoc DGMs may be made regular DGMs and also AGMs who have completed their residency period of 4 years may be extended regular promotions by considering relaxation of six months in cut off date as all working AGMs have completed their 4 years residency in the grade and there are sufficient vacancies in DGM cadre.

DPC of leftout JTO of 2008 batch

As agreed earlier, DIR HR again re confirmed that, DPC process of left out JTOs of 2008 batch will be initiated immediately after the notifications of SDE RR or SDE to AGM Promotions which ever is earlier. He also assured to pursue with DOT for their reply on pensionary implications of the new SDE RR. It will be pertinent to inform all that after rigorous pursuasion by AIGETOA, board has authorised CMD and Management Committee of the Board to consider relaxation in the Stagnation period of 12 years.

Enhancement of SAB to 30%

As presented by Association, DIR HR agreed to discuss with CMD for the Enhancement of SAB contribution.

Deposit of pending SAB contribution.

Dir HR assured to deposit pending contribution at the earliest and also assured that matter will be taken up with Finance wing to ensure regular deposit of monthly SAB subscription so that arrears may not increase cumulatively.

SDE reversal issue

As agreed earlier, DIR HR assured that the final settlement of SDE reversal issue shall be done immediately. In the meeting, association demanded to issue the minutes on the points agreement reached and also start working on the assurances immediately. However till late night, minutes were not released and concrete action on the assurances is yet to be seen.

14th July 2022 – Submission of Memorandum to CMD BSNL & Director HR in person at New Delhi by CHQ & Circle OBs, Gate Meeting.

Click here for Memorandum

Word File of Memorandum

Non redressal of burning HR issues including Standard Pay Scale E2-E3 & Pay Loss Issues, Non-issuance of Promotion in AGM/CAO Equivalent Grades despite the verdict of Hon’ble Supreme Court, Non notification of SDE/AO Equivalent Grades RR, No headway on Revision in MS RR, Non Settlement of SDE Reversal Issue, Pending Superannuation Benefit (SAB) Quantum &amount, immediate termination of the MT Process and scrapping of MT RR. It’s a failure of management to handle the pending HR issues despite several assurances made in past and we see it as a deliberate attempt to create unrest in the organisation by ignoring Career Progression and Pay Pension related issues.

BSNL Management has completely failed to meet the minimum Career Aspiration of Executives, where one has to wait endlessly to reach next level of promotion. If we see the residency period of JTO/JAO for next promotion is just 3 three Years but people are getting promoted through normal rout of DPC in 15-20 years. Similarly for AGM/CAO equivalent grade the residency period in preceding grade is just seven years but people are waiting for promotion from 9-18 years. This shows that HR has taken a complete back seat in BSNL and management has completely neglected this part of an organization. Now, they are desperately trying to start a lateral entry on the name of Management Trainee which will permanently kill the remaining opportunities for the Executives.

Hence, AIGETOA has served a Notice for Organizational Call to lodge our strong protest. We call upon all Executives to support the call irrespective of the affiliate to any associations or not.

All CHQ OBs must reach BSNL CO 14th July to submit memorandum to CMD/Director HR in person and stay back at Delhi till resolution of issues.

All 11 Circle Executive Committee from nearby circles (

UP West, UP East, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, NTR, Himachal Pradesh, BSNL CO Circle and J&K etc..) to mandatory reach BSNL CO on 14th for submission of Memorandum to CMD/Director HR in person.

All volunteers from various circles to reach BSNL CO on 14th July to submit Memorandum in person to CMD/Director HR.

AIGETOA served Notice for Organisational Call in view of Complete Breach of Trust, Non redressal of burning HR issues including Standard Pay Scale E2-E3 & Pay Loss Issues, Non issuance of Promotion in AGM/CAO Equivalent Grades despite the verdict of Hon’ble Supreme Court, Non notification of SDE/AO Equivalent Grades RR, No headway on Revision in MS RR, Non Settlement of SDE Reversal Issue, Pending Superannuation Benefit (SAB) Quantum and amount, Scrapping of MT RR/DR DGM RR and replacement with Fast Track Promotional Methodology and resolving of our legitimate issues.

Earlier, an emergency meeting of Central Governing Body, Circle Secretaries and Circle Presidents of AIGETOA held on 09.07.2022 to deliberate and decide course of action on continued negligence by management in resolving outstanding legitimate HR issues pertains to the BSNL Executives and felt that management is totally non committal and no progress has been made on several important issues. It is observed that the association has always honoured the appeal of management and withdrawn call on previous occasions on the assurances and agreement reached, which were even released through above minutes but it is very unfortunate that management has gone back from its own promises resulting in the persistence of almost all issues.

About 13000 executives recruited/promoted by BSNL from 2009 to 2020 are suffering with severe losses in their total emoluments due to non approval of Standard Scale of E2-E3 Scale, which is a residual of 2nd PRC in BSNL. It is important to note that one hand about 30K BSNL Executives (whose last pay revision made on 01.01.2007) are struggling with Pay Issues and denying all legitimate dues on the name of financial crunch and other side senior managers are enjoying all Pay & Perks of 7th Pay Revision w.e.f. 01.01.2016 in same BSNL– It’s an Extreme Injustice as Equal Treatment Not Extended.

one side management is sitting on AGM/CAO Promotions of those executives working in preceding grade from 9-18 years despite of DOPT Order, while other side it took just 2-3 hours for the management to declare the results of MT Internal late night and no legal opinion, no consideration from any of the welfare organization etc was ever sought for as being asked in case of AGM/CAO Promotions in BSNL. Similarly, despite written assurance by the Dir(HR) for settlement of SDE Reversal issue, there is no takers in the system and issue is lingering since more than 2 years of its commitment and candidates are suffering enormously due to the fault of BSNL.

Finally after all deliberations, it is concluded that our all efforts to break the stalemate through dialogue is futile and our patience for getting resolution through amicable means has totally gone away as management has failed to keep their own words. Sensing no hope for any amicable resolution, participants of the CHQ-CS-CP Meet has decided to serve Organisational Call Notice for settlement of the long outstanding issues as listed below.

:DEMANDS:

1. Immediate intervention of the Dir HR/CMD with DoT for the approval of E2-E3 Scale meant for the JTO/JAO and SDE/AO Equivalent Grades.

All our OBs and Members are requested to give a wide publicity to the program and ensure for its success to vent your resentment as expressed from time to time. AIGETOA sincerely believes and quite hopeful that management will seize the opportunity to address the lost trust and ensure immediate settlement of our long pending issues and address our serious concerns as stated above to maintain Employees- Employer relationship healthy and employees in motivated state for higher growth of the organisation.

The continued stalemate of the SDE to AGM and AO to CAO Promotion despite the pronouncement of judgment by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India and Executive Instruction by DOP&T on the matter of Reservation in Promotion has fuelled the anger to its peak. The matter was deliberated in the recently concluded CEC of the AIGEOTA CHQ on 22.06.2022 at New Delhi. The management is not trying to understand the woes of executives, who are waiting for promotions since years together in absence of any Promotion in the grades of AGM/CAO since 2018. These grades are in acute shortage after VRS in January ‘2020 but still management is not ready to break the deadlock and depriving the much awaited promotion, which is not only the need of the Executives but for the organization equally. A unique protest was organized by AIGETOA to highlight the cause of the SDEs/AOs waiting for the AGM/CAO Promotions. We call upon all Executives to lend your support to AIGETOA to raise and fight for each and every issue of executive genuinely.

Team AIGETOA comprising of CHQ Body and some OBs/Members of BSNL Corporate Office displayed play card and offered rose to Hon’ble CMD and other functional Directors of BSNL Board on 23.06.2022 before the Management Committee Meet to convey the severe resentment and anguish prevailing in the field on the continued impasse on AGM/ CAO Promotion. After conveying the anger and sufferings of people to the CMD BSNL, the gathering went to the chamber of the Director HR and handed over the rose to him also and appraised continued standoff on the matter. This is causing serious demotivation, despair and pain in the minds of the executives, who is not leaving any stone unturned for the welfare of the organization and whose best example is that no degradation of service felt despite the curtailment of more than 50% on roll employees through VRS and stiff financial embargo in 2020 and 2021, where even the fund for maintenance were not available and salary was delayed by 1 to 1.5 months. It was also highlighted that how the seniority of SDEs have been lowered by changing its own decision by the BSNL management putting the meritorious LDCE qualified Executives most disadvantageous position and this must be addressed by executing promotions to all SDEs completed their residency period by readjusting the vacancies.

Director HR gave a patient hearing to the gathering and agreed with the concerns raised by association and assured to expedite the efforts to break the deadlock on the AGM/CAO Promotion. Association clearly appraised that the patience is running out and the management should take necessary action to issue Promotions else the continued neglect may result in serious breach of peace of the organization.

In the meantime sudden outbreak of violent protest on Agniveer Issue at various places including the route of the Pad Yatra and serious apprehension of further flare-up in the situation in the route and implementation of Dhara-144 at various places forced us to review the situation. The Police also didn’t give the permission for the Pad Yatra Program in view of the prevailing situation. The views of other stake holders including the participants of Pad Yatra were also taken and entire situation was assessed. After reviewing the complete situation in all perspective, we have decided to defer the proposed Pad Yatra Program presently and further decision will be taken subsequently.

We extend our deep gratitude to all those who volunteered to be part of the Pad Yatra Program and our Punjab Team involved in the preparation.

Call Attention Program Full 30% Superannuation Benefits w.e.f. 01.01.2007, Compensatory Ground Appointment (CGA) and immediate monetary relief to families of the deceased BR Employees

Late Sh. Vijay Kumar Bansal, SDE BSNL (Left for his heavenly abode on 06.05.2022)

AIGETOA CHQ pays its tribute to Late Shri Vijay Kumar Bansal SDE ITPC Chandigarh and vows to carry forward the fight of Proper Social Security Cover of BSNL Recruited Employees to the highest Echelons of Management and apprise the Desperate, Vulnerable and Hopeless situation of the Families of Deceased Employees Recruited by BSNL due to pathetic condition of the ‘Superannuation Benefit Pension Mechanism’ and absence of any other support like CGA/Monetary Support etc. This has lead to the precarious situation to many families of BSNL, after the sole bread winner met any eventuality during the service period. It’s the duty of all of us to Ask for Justice for such families and fulfills our obligation towards our colleagues and their families.

For understanding the issue, we can broadly classify the employees working in BSNL in three Major Categories as detailed:

1. Employees absorbed from the DoT, Govt of India and working on regular roll of BSNL. These employees covered through government pension through a special provision of Rule-37A. In the event of superannuation/ retirement or unfortunate demise during the service, the family is entitled for the Govt Pension and well protected financially.
2. Employees working on deputation in BSNL and not on regular roll. They can go to their parent government organisation at any point of time and fully covered through Government Pension and entitled benefits.
3. The last sets of Employees are those recruited by BSNL both in Executives and Non-Executives categories. This set of Employees doesn’t have Govt Pension and their Social Security is covered through half cooked Superannuation Benefit (SAB) Scheme of 2nd PRC only. BSNL Gazette Notification states to create a Pension Mechanism for BSNL Recruited Employees and 2nd PRC recommended for 30% defined contribution under SAB w.e.f. 01.01.2007 comprising of EPF, Gratuity, PRMB and SAB Pension Fund. But despite of these provisions, BSNL Recruited Employees are getting only EPF-12%, 3% under SAB Pension Fund w.e.f 04.05.2016 which was enhanced to 5% w.e.f 01.04.2017 and 4.8% under Gratuity, which total for 21.8% defined contribution against 30%, a shortfall of 8.2% in quantum and 10 years in the period of implementation w.e.f. 01.01.2007. Whereas the BSNL Gazette Notification provision for Pension since the date of inception of BSNL remained a Non-Starter.

Even the existing 5% SAB Pension Fund, which is managed by LIC, has a backlog of payment causing recurring loss of interest for the delayed payment. As on date the SAB Pension Fund has been cleared only upto March-2021 and more than one year contribution of more than 150 Cr is pending at the end of BSNL.

The above reasons have created a completely insecure situation and acute hardship to the families in case of any eventuality to their sole bread winner and employee recruited by BSNL, a 100% Govt owned CPSE. The only recurring support is coming in the range of Rs 2000-2500 from the existing SAB Pension Fund and similar amount through EPS-1995 provision under EPF. One can understand the suffering of a family and the acute difficulty in managing the household, education and medical in such a peanut amount in case of any sad demise of the employees, when the whole responsibility is pending due to younger age. This is a complete discrimination among various sets of Employees in BSNL and must be raised to resolve the issue relates with humanity. In view of the said precarious situation of BSNL Recruited Executives and Employees, the association has decided to press for their issue by demanding full Social Security Cover and holding various programs to highlight the Cause. All are request to extend their full support.

DEMANDS

• Extending Pensionary Benefits to all BSNL Recruits from the date of their joining of service in line with the provisions extended by Government of India while corporatizing the Telecom Operations Part of DoT in the name of BSNL.
• Extend Full 30% SAB as defined Contribution to BSNL Recruits in line with the DPE guidelines of 2nd PRC by enhancing Quantum of SAB w.e.f. 01.01.2007 (Presently Shortfall in SAB is 8.2%). Immediate deposit of full outstanding amount of the ongoing fund with interest.
• Restoring CGA appointments in BSNL and making necessary changes in the CGA policy to bring families of deceased BSNL Recruits in the ambit and make them eligible for CGA appointments.
• Extending immediate monetary relief to families of the deceased BSNL Recruited employees.

An Organisation Action Program started under the banner of the Forum of BSNL Executives’ Associations by serving notice on 30.11.2021 for the charter of demands. In the meantime, two meetings of the leaders of the Forum were held under the Chairmanship of the Director (HR) on 14.12.2021 and 28.12.2021, which was attended by the PGM (Pers) and Sr GM SR also. All the issues were discussed in detail by the leaders and concerns were raised to the management with regard to the items in the Charter of Demands. Director HR listened to all issues patiently and assured that the issues are being taken up on priority for resolution. He further assured that the promotions which are lingering on due to pending court cases shall be pursued and possibilities will be explored through legal advice for its early resolution. It was categorically informed by Director HR that management is not in a position to implement earlier approved CPSU Proposal due to various complexities associated with it. However, Director HR assured that a Time Bound Promotion Mechanism will be introduced by addressing the stagnation criteria in the JTO/JAO and equivalent Grades and SDE/AO Equivalent Grades beyond the stipulated sanctioned strength. It was told that management will ensure that stagnation issue as raised by association shall be taken up as part of Recruitment Rule Modification Exercise.

It was also assured that the standard Pay Scale issue of E2 for JTO/JAO equivalent grade and E3 for SDE/AO equivalent grade will be pursued aggressively with the DoTand the ongoing exercise with respect to MTNL/BSNL will smoothen it further.

With respect to scrapping of MT RR and DR DGM RR, it was assured that the these RRs are being revisited and matter shall be discussed with association for scrapping the existing RRs and implementation of Internal Fast Track mechanism for meritorious executives. Management assured a positive and firm Consideration of this issue also.

The SDE Reversal Issue has once again been acknowledged by the Director HR and PGM Pers also agreed to resolve it at the earliest. Finally, An Appeal was issued by the Management on 29.12.2021 to consider for the withdrawal of the call.  

Thereafter an internal meeting was held and all the aspects were discussed in detail. It was acknowledged that the most crucial thing will be to remain on discussion table when RRs (JTO/SDE/MT/MSRR etc) are being revisited and modified.Letting management go escort free at this crucial time will not be prudent decision and that too when the thing which we are vouching for has been categorically denied and appears very distant to be implemented. BSNL Recruits have already faced an irreparable loss at the time of EPP policy framing and MS RR issuance just because of absence of our voice during that exercise. We don’t want any further loss to our cadre hence to remain present on discussion board when future is being written should be primary duty and when management is agreeing to address our concern through amicable discussions, it becomes furthermore important.Time Bound Criteria through Stagnation for JTO/JAO/Equivalent to AGM/CAO equivalent Grades has to be incorporated through these Recruitment Rules only and keeping away at this crucial juncture may jeopardize the interest of the Executives Fraternity. The approval of Scale for E2 and E3 is an important task where management has shown positive gesture for keenly pursuing the approval of the scale.

It was also agreed that the issuance of the upcoming JTO to SDE Promotion should be the primary duty of association so that the gates for next batches and executives can also be opened. Stopping any exercise in the name of some new thing should not be thought about at all. 

The status was discussed among three constituent Associations of the Forum i.e. AIGETOA, AIBSNLEA and SNEA for taking a common decision. After detailed deliberation of 5-6 Hrs among these associations, AIGETOA an AIBSNLEA decided to defer the program and to give a space for issuance of the long awaited  SDE Telecom Promotion and exploring the possibilities for AGM/CAO and DGM equivalent Promotions by seeking legal opinions as assured by the Director HR as well as participate in the discussion process in the framing and modifications of Recruitment Rules to represent the aspirations of the Executives fraternity and don’t allow the management walk over in deciding the all important activities of RRModifications. It has also been demanded that management should settle the absent period through admissible leave. Sister Association SNEA however decided to continue and we respect their decision. At the end success by any means will finally benefit the cadre only.
