The Examination Notification which pertains to the Limited Internal Competitive Examination (LICE) for promotion to the grade of AGM/EE (Elect.) for the vacancy year 2023 under the 33% Competitive Quota. AIGETOA wish to express our strong protest and objection on the unilateral action by the management in this regard.

The hidden agenda of hasty issuance is very much clear as the notification lack the clarity on the starting date of online registration, the last date of online registration, editing/modification in application data by the candidate, and the date of the online examination etc. This lack of clarity regarding essential dates creates an atmosphere of uncertainty and ambiguity on initiating such an important process where virtually the recognized executive association of executives are yet to be done as per REA rules and the MV is scheduled for 12-09-2023. The notification does not provide a concrete roadmap or timeline for the entire process, which prompts us to question the necessity of issuing this notification at this juncture.

The timing of this notification is also a matter of concern. Actions of this nature, which potentially have significant implications for the mind of BSNL executives, raises questions about the management’s intentions. This gives rise to concerns about whether the chosen timing for this notification is designed to favor or disfavor any particular association, thereby eroding trust and confidence in the membership verification process.

GS AIGETOA writes to CMD BSNL and Hon’ble Labour Minister seeking their urgent intervention in settling the EPFO Intimations Causing Confusion for those executives who opted pension for higher wages and EPF authorized signatories of BSNL :

GS AIGETOA writes to CMD BSNL and Hon’ble Labour Minister seeking their urgent intervention in settling the EPFO Intimations Causing Confusion for those executives who opted pension for higher wages and EPF authorized signatories of BSNL.

AIGETOA highlights the important issue that has arisen after the approval of the Joint Option for pension on higher wages by the employer (authorized signatories of BSNL). It has come to our attention that EPFO Regional Offices are sending error intimations to numerous members who opted pension for higher wages, requesting clarification, error correction, and the submission of accurate and complete information along with additional proof or evidence within a one-month period. In the letter sent by the EPFO, identical reasons are provided without specifying the exact mistakes or errors in question.

Without clear indication of the errors, members and authorized signatories are left unable to accurately correct the issues or provide the necessary documents. This approach by EPFO has led to significant confusion among BSNL employees and EPF authorized signatories of BSNL. Accordingly, GS AIGETOA urges the intervention of Hon’ble CMD BSNL and Hon’ble Labour Minister in this matter to engage with EPFO HQ to issue unequivocal guidelines that can clarify the course of action required in these situations.
