GS AIGETOA Sh Ravi Shil Verma writes to CMD BSNL Sh P K Purwar Ji regarding rotation of officers holding sensitive posts in BSNL.
Many lacunae in the rotation of sensitive posts have been observed. It is seen that few officers have been continuously holding such sensitive posts in one way or another by virtue of rotation of chairs within the same section and in the process continue to hold the posts of sensitive nature for period beyond the stipulated time. Such instances and continued presence of officers in sensitive sections are observed in BSNL corporate office also contrary to the fact that BSNL CO must have projected itself as role model for the policy.
In many places at Corporate/Circle/BA headquarters, the rotations are happening for namesake and its being done between sensitive posts within the same administrative units like HR/Admin/Pers/Estt/Legal etc. This automatically defeats the very purpose of such guidelines when it is observed that officers are present in such sections for a much longer period by virtue of rotation from one chair to another and all this while holding the crucial sensitive posts dealing with sensitive administrative matters for a much longer period.
We suggest that officers on sensitive posts for AGM & above level officers must be rotated entirely into different verticals to prevent complacency and to ensure a fresh perspective in decision-making processes and also to ensure that the guidelines of rotation of officials on sensitive posts is adhered to in letter and spirit.
Directions may be issued for rotation of the officers based on sensitive sections/units and not on the basis of Posts and rotation within the same section / administrative unit be avoided. Regular rotation of employees in sensitive positions may also be cross checked, so that all the executives are getting an equal treatment.
GS AIGETOA Sh Ravi Shil Verma writes to CMD BSNL regarding urgent intervention required in disbursing Kit allowances and refreshment allowances to various Sports Players participating in various tournaments.
Despite the revival of sports events, in BSNL, there is an alarming anomaly in the disbursement of Kit Allowances and Refreshment Allowances to players representing the BSNL in Sports events. We believe that timely and fair distribution of these allowances is essential to motivate and support our dedicated players who represent BSNL in various sports competitions.
GS AIGETOA Sh Ravi Shil Verma writes to CMD BSNL Sh P K Purwar Ji with request for expedited Promotion Process and Timely Promotion in CSS Cadre (DM to AGM Regular & AGM to DGM Regular).
It is our understanding that regular vacancies have existed in the CSS cadre for promotions from DM to AGM Regular & AGM to DGM, Regular and eligible employees have been eagerly awaiting their promotions in accordance with the established rules and regulations. However, the inexplicable delay in these promotions is causing anxiety and uncertainty among deserving officers.
Congratulations !! As a first step, notional Promotions of those AGMs whose DPC was done in 2018 have been issued.
This case has been exclusively taken by our Association. We have brought into the knowledge of the BSNL management by writing the necessary correspondence and pursuing the matter at the highest level i.e. CMD & DIR HR. This was one of the pending roadblocks for finalization of seniority of the AGMs promoted in 2018 for consideration of them for DGM Promotions and utilization of these vacancies for promotion in SDE to AGM grade and JTO to SDE grade.
We extend our thanks to CMD, director HR & PGM Pers for issuing these promotions as per their words in the last meetings. Now we look for further promotions across various grades as per the discussions and methodology suggested by AIGETOA.

AIGETOA always believes in the policy for all the BSNL executives. The list consist of 41 officers and they have been given Notional promotion from 2018.
This was the first step towards achieving the goal towards consideration of AGMs promoted in 2018 for promotion to DGM (Adhoc/Regular) and counting of these vacancies towards SDE to AGM Promotions and subsequently to JTO to SDE Promotions. For details refer to the AIGETOA letter dated 25th September 2023.
AIGETOA endeavours to promotion of all eligible will continue till we achieve the objective.
GS AIGETOA Sh Ravi Shil Verma writes to CMD BSNL Sh P K Purwar Ji with request for settling the pending bottlenecks in promotions, considering the promotions of all eligible executives who have completed their residency period to settle the unrest and demotivation amongst all the executives.
Methodology proposed by AIGETOA and agreed earlier by management to consider as stated below:
First step is to consider the notional promotions of the AGMs whose DPC has been done in June 2018 (Around 55-60 in number) and issue their promotion orders wef June 2018 and finalize their seniority positions. The VC of these executives have already been called and it is requested to issue the orders without any further delay.
With BSNL taking the firm decision on the issue of Own Merit – On Merit in line with the opinion given by DoP&T and executing the promotions in various grades as per the Hon’ble Supreme Court Decision and the DoP&T guidelines dated 12.04.2022, the dispute in the seniority is now settled with BSNL/DoP&T taking the decision at the highest level. The DoP&T guidelines dated 12.04.2022 is taking care of all such disputes and the only need was to issue a final seniority list of these executives. This was agreed by the management during discussions with AIGETOA and we request for a very expeditious action on the same on war footing basis now.
Settlement of the provisional promotions to regular promotions will result in counting the residency period of the AGMs promoted in 2018 to regular and all these executives will be eligible to occupy the posts of DGMs having served more than the requisite residency period.
GS AIGETOA Sh Ravi Shil Verma writes to CMD BSNL Sh P K Purwar Ji regarding resolution of the long pending issue of reversal of LDCE 2007 passed SDEs by restoring and extending them their original seniority position.
We have time and again been highlighting this issue that whatever may be the circumstances, these executives were not at fault and its only because of the lapse on the part of officers dealing with the matter, this unfortunate situation has occurred. With the latest observation of Hon’ble CAT Madras on the applicability of the Clause 5 of SDE RR 2002 on the matter, we find its opportune time for the management to settle the issue as per the commitment made earlier and execute the promotions subject to the outcome of the court.
