AIGETOA has submitted a strong objection to the Director (HR), BSNL, against the decision of ALTTC Circle to call for fresh volunteers for posting at Telecom Training Centres, particularly RTTC Jaipur, without exhausting the already approved and valid selection panel.

A transparent and merit-based selection process for RTTC Jaipur was already completed in April–June 2024 through online assessment, interview, and presentation. A merit-wise panel was duly approved by the competent authority and circulated to all Circles. The Association expressed serious concern that re-initiating the same volunteer process not only undermines the sanctity of the earlier selection but also causes avoidable uncertainty and demoralization among the empanelled executives.
AIGETOA categorically stated that repeating the selection exercise without utilizing the existing panel is unwarranted and raises apprehensions about the intent behind such actions, especially when the earlier panel remains valid and unutilized. The earlier objections regarding arbitrary transfer and posting orders issued by ALTTC Circle have not been addressed so far.
We firmly demanded that:
1] Executives already selected and empanelled for RTTC Jaipur be given first priority for posting.
2] Postings to RTTC Jaipur and other Telecom Training Centres be made strictly from existing approved panels, wherever available.
3] No fresh volunteer or selection process be initiated without fully exhausting the earlier approved panels.
4] Personnel and Establishment Sections at Corporate Office scrutinise the transfer and posting orders issued by ALTTC Circle and take corrective action as per policy.
We urged the BSNL management to act promptly in the interest of fairness, transparency, and administrative propriety. Failure to address the issue may compel it to pursue the matter further at appropriate forums.
AIGETOA has clearly conveyed its refusal to attend the agenda meeting scheduled by BSNL management due to the inadequate time earmarked for the discussion. The Association has categorically stated that agenda meetings cannot be reduced to a token exercise or treated as a mere formality.

The meeting was fixed after an unjustified delay of nearly two and a half months and was intimated late in the evening, with the meeting scheduled at 5:00 pm. Such scheduling effectively rules out any serious or detailed discussion on long-pending and critical HR issues.
The agenda meetings were historically held with sufficient time, often for an entire day, enabling meaningful engagement and concrete outcomes. The gradual dilution of this practice reflects a lack of seriousness towards issues that are directly impacting executive morale and organizational efficiency.
Given the gravity of the agenda and its relevance to BSNL’s ongoing national projects, including Swadeshi 4G/5G, 4G saturation and BharatNet, AIGETOA has demanded that a fresh agenda meeting be convened with adequate time allocation. The Association has made it clear that it will participate only in meetings aimed at real engagement and result-oriented discussion, not symbolic or name-sake exercises.
The Sanchar Aadhaar problem continues without a solution even after nine days, and the failure to restore the system is causing significant revenue loss for BSNL every single day.
The BSNL Unions & Associations held a meeting today at Eastern Court, New Delhi, where all General Secretaries and representatives of the constituent unions and associations participated. The leaders discussed the situation in detail and expressed deep concern over the prolonged disruption and its growing impact on services, customers and field staff.
After a detailed review, BSNL Unions and Associations unanimously decided to submit a memorandum to the CMD BSNL seeking immediate resolution of the Sanchar Aadhaar issues.
The meeting further resolved that if the top management does not take prompt and effective action, BSNL Unions & Associations will be left with no option but to begin an agitational programme without further delay.
Today’s meeting was attended by leaders from BSNLEU, NFTE BSNL, SNEA, AIGETOA, AIBSNLEA, BTTU and DEWAS. All participating organisations expressed serious concern over the management’s inaction and the continued loss of revenue and goodwill.
AIGETOA writes to CMD BSNL urging immediate intervention and direction to the Personnel section for executing promotions across all eligible executives in various grades and streams.
Despite repeated discussions and clear assurances given by the HR unit in the presence of all recognized associations, no concrete action has been taken. It was mutually agreed that the road map for promotions would be finalized by 31st October 2025 and the promotion process would start by 30th November 2025. However, BSNL has failed to initiate any meaningful step, causing deep frustration among executives.
AIGETOA further reiterated that if management fails to honor its own commitments, the association will be compelled to restart organisational action programs, which were deferred after the meeting of BMS delegation with the Hon’ble MoC on 17th July 2025.
As double bench was not available, case was not heard today, the same has been posted for 24th February 2026.
As per the provision of constitution of AIGETOA and discussion held in the Central Executive Committee (CEC) meeting, AIGETOA CHQ notify the date for holding of Annual General Meeting (AGM) of AIGETOA on 19th & 20th December 2025 at Agra, Uttar Pradesh (West).

The BSNL Corporate Office has launched an online booking portal for BSNL Inspection Quarters (IQs), developed by ITPC Pune. The portal was inaugurated by the CMD BSNL in the presence of the Board of Directors on 24th November 2025. Currently, the IQs in Delhi and Pune have been migrated to the portal, with plans to extend the facility to all BSNL Circles within the next fifteen days.
AIGETOA has been continuously raising the demand for fair and transparent online booking of all BSNL Inspection Quarters for all employees for a long time, and this long-pending demand is now being addressed through this new portal and instructions issued by BSNL Corporate Office.
All CGMs are requested to ensure that booking of BSNL Inspection Quarters will be conducted exclusively through this online portal. ITPC Pune will conduct training for Circle Nodal on 27th November 2025. All Circles must submit the details of their respective Circle Nodal within two days to the designated email addresses using the prescribed format in letter.

20 Years of Togetherness – United By Purpose, Driven by Passion
Dear Members,
As we celebrate the completion of twenty years of AIGETOA on 21 November 2025, it gives us immense pride to look back at a journey that began with humble beginnings and has today evolved into the strongest and most credible platform of BSNL Executives. What started as a small group of young executives raising genuine concerns has, over the years, grown into a national organization with a clear purpose, deep conviction and an unbroken commitment to fairness and dignity for all BSNL executives.
AIGETOA was formed at a time when the concerns of BSNL Recruits were not receiving the attention they deserved. Guided by the foundational efforts at Rewari, Haryana, the association was built from the ground up with a structured and democratic framework. These early years laid the foundation of an organization that was driven not by slogans but by action, which is why “Our actions speak” continues to reflect our character even today.
The defining moment in our early history came during the historic “Operation Sacrifice” in 2009 that transformed AIGETOA into a force recognized across BSNL. “Operation Sacrifice” established the association as the true voice of BSNL Executives and firmly placed the issues of Pay Revision, Pay scales, Pay Losses, Promotions, HR Parity and Social Security on BSNL’s national agenda. The continuity of strong and committed leadership at CHQ, Circle & District has shaped AIGETOA into a stable, resilient and purpose-driven organization.
Over the last two decades, our collective efforts have ensured that executive’s issues remain at the center of policy discussions, whether it is of Implementation 3rd PRC or settlement of residual issues of 2nd PRC i.e. Standard Pay Scales of E2-E3 for JTO/JAO-SDE/AO Equivalent, Pay losses, Smooth Career Progression & Promotions, 30% SAB, HR transparency and Parity, settlement of reversal cases, correction of long-standing anomalies or responding immediately to arbitrary actions by Management. With persistent submissions to BSNL management, DoT, MoC and through the support of BMS and BDM, these issues remain firmly on the national agenda. Our recent interventions, media outreach and structured meetings have helped bring a new level of visibility to the concerns of BSNL executives spread across all platforms.
These twenty years have also been a testimony to our culture of togetherness. “Together we can, Together we have, Together we will” has not just been a slogan, it has been our lived experience. At every stage, it was the solidarity of members that carried the association forward, whether in times of struggle, persuasion, negotiation or policy corrections. Our unity has been our greatest strength and remains the foundation of every achievement.
What has always set AIGETOA apart is its character. We are not an association driven by legacy, nor are we guided by external interests. We were created by the executives of BSNL, for the executives of BSNL and that identity remains our strength. As the calendar marks our 21st milestone, our resolve shines brighter: To lead with Consistency, fight with Persistence, chase dreams with Passionate Pursuit, and protect the welfare of BSNL executives with unshakable Commitment. .
At this momentous occasion, our commitment continues for one Nation, one BSNL, one Dream, One strength. We continue to move forward with the vision of “One PSU – One Association” – The most effective way to forge this dream into unbreakable reality! A unified and strong executive platform is essential for fairness in policies, transparent growth opportunities and long-term career stability and AIGETOA is taking all efforts to realize this vision.
On this landmark occasion, we extend heartfelt gratitude to every BSNL employee, every Member, every Leader – Past and Present whose commitment, trust and participation shaped the journey of AIGETOA. Your faith in this association is the reason we stand strong today, and it will continue to guide us in the years ahead.
Let us celebrate twenty years of determination, unity and progress with pride. And let us step into the future with renewed energy, committed to justice, dignity, growth and the long-term welfare of every BSNL executive.
With warm regards,
Team AIGETOA
Today, the case OA/405/2023 was listed for pleading and directions before the Hon’ble CAT, Ernakulam.
During the proceedings, our advocate highlighted that the matter has already been considerably delayed and also informed the Court that the 3rd PRC process is currently underway, making an early resolution important.
The Hon’ble Judge enquired about the filing of a rejoinder. Our advocate submitted that no rejoinder is required, as filing one at this stage would only cause further delay, and requested the Court to move forward to the hearing.
The Judge also asked the advocate of the connected cases regarding any pending submissions.
Our advocate strongly requested that the matter be posted for final hearing at the earliest, preferably next month. However, due to non-availability of an earlier date, The Hon’ble Tribunal has posted the case for final hearing on 02 January 2026.
Anoop Das, ACS KRL AIGETOA, was present at the court.
