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.

As you are aware, the separate committees were formed on the issues raised by BDM as per the assurance given to Bharatiya Doorsanchar Manch during its various interaction with the management last year between April 2025 to July 2025. The committee after finalizing the reports, submitted the same for final concurrence of the competent authority. However, final recommendation was never submitted and BDM was compelled to serve the notice again on 25th May 2026. 

Now, subsequent to the review meeting taken by Hon’ble MoSC, specific directions were issued to BSNL and DoT on the point mentioned herein before. Yesterday, during the discussion on notice served by AIGETOA, Management shared its roadmap and the way forward on how they propose to move forward. They also shared the constitution of a new committee consisting of PGMs for a final recommendation on the works carried out by the earlier committees on the separate issues. They said a single committee has been constituted to take a holistic review of the pending issues. They also said that it will be a time bound work and is expected to be completed within this month.

It was again confirmed that DoT has simultaneously initiated steps for resolution of the standard pay scale issue of E2 and E3 for JTO/JAO and SDE/AO equivalent cadres. The details of the meeting shall be shared in due course. A status note on 3rd PRC has been prepared and submitted for consideration with emphasis on AIGETOA/BDM stand of One Company One Policy ie Parity in Pay, Perks and Pension. It was also informed that our demand for internal managerial hierarchy of BSNL has been agreed upon and developments are expected within next few days. The issue of Promotions has got a big thrust with Hon’ble Minister personally monitoring the progress. Our submissions on One Company One Policy for Parity in Pay Pension and Promotions and that of creation of internal managerial hierarchy has been forwarded to all the committee members by the office of Hon’ble MoC.

Yesterday, on dated 05.06.2026, Team AIGETOA had a fruitful discussion on the issues raised with the office of the MoC as well as office of the Hon’ble MoSC before our meeting with Management wherein we highlighted the status with respect to our issues including that of SET Recruitment.

However, we take this opportunity to remind ourselves that such positive developments should not make us complacent. We must remember that these are positive developments only and not the final resolution. Hence, till we achieve final resolution of the issues, we cannot be complacent and we should not rest.

At the same time, we the executives of BSNL are very much thankful to Hon’ble MoC and Hon’ble MoSC, whose timely intervention has triggered these developments. We convey our thanks to them as well as we reaffirm our commitment to stand for the cause of Nation, Cause of BSNL and for achieving the desired objectives set by the government for the growth of BSNL.

BSNL has notified the Sabbatical Leave Scheme-2026 : One of Long Pending Issue Resolved just before BDM Meeting

Due to the continuous and persistent efforts of AIGETOA, BTEU and BDM, another long-standing issue has finally become a reality.

BSNL has notified the Sabbatical Leave Scheme-2026, fulfilling one of the long-pending demands consistently pursued by AIGETOA over the years. The scheme provides eligible employees an opportunity to take a planned break from service for personal, family, educational, professional or self-development purposes while maintaining their association with BSNL.

The concept of Sabbatical Leave, which was envisioned and strongly advocated by AIGETOA, has now received its rightful place in BSNL’s HR policies. This achievement once again demonstrates that sincere and sustained efforts ultimately yield positive results.

We convey our sincere thanks to the BSNL Management for considering this small demand and issuing the policy in the interest of employees.

At the same time, several crucial HR issues concerning BSNL executives and employees still await resolution. Our commitment remains unwavering and our efforts shall continue with the same determination until all pending issues are addressed.

The quest continues. The resolve continues.

Let us all come together, strengthen our collective voice, and work towards achieving every legitimate right and aspiration of BSNL employees.
