Update on BDM Forum Discussions with CMD BSNL and Senior Management – 22nd June, 23rd June 2025 & 24th June 2025 :

A detailed meeting was held on 23rd June 2025 under the chairmanship of CMD BSNL, with the participation of Director (HR), senior HR officials, and leaders from the BDM Forum including AIGETOA and BTEU. This follows earlier detailed discussions with Director (HR), PGM (Pers), PGM (Estt) and PGM (SR) wherein the minutes and appeals were issued earlier. The meeting lasted for almost 2 hours wherein threadbare discussions on the issues raised were done. Discussions of the Forum leaders was also held with Director (CFA), Director (Finance), PGM (Restg) on the issues raised vide part-A of the charter of demands on which a separate update shall be circulated.

1] The key takeaways of the meeting and discussions so far:

CMD BSNL has appreciated the concerns raised by Forum Leaders and acknowledged that the issues raised especially those pertaining to the Social Security like 30 % Superannuation Benefits, PRMB and Death Relief Fund deserve attention going beyond the boundaries of affordability and in the larger perspective of a secure future for the dependents of the employee also. The assurance that management will take efforts to ensure that the contribution is raised to a significant proportion and the directions to the HR team to examine the possibilities in a time bound manner with reference to the rules and guidelines submitted by the BDM Leaders is definitely a welcome gesture but only if tangible output is visible in the form of recommendations.

Management has also finally agreed to take up the issue of replacement of E1A and E2A by the standard pay scales of E2 and E3 and that of 3rd PRC with DoT in reference to the submissions made by Bharatiya Doorsanchar Manch. This is indeed another welcome change that after two long years, finally management has agreed to the request of the Bharatiya Doorsanchar Manch.

Management has also assured for the finalisation of the recommendations of the wage negotiation committee within next few days. Management side also gave a patient hearing on the subject in the exclusive meeting of the BDM representatives with the chairman and the members from the management side of the wage negotiation committee. In-depth discussions on the submissions of BDM with respect to the wage negotiation of the non-executives with special emphasis to finalisation of JE Pay Scale (NE-9) as 35400 as minimum basic was held with the wage negotiation committee. The residual issue of JE Period Pay Loss was also highlighted before the Committee Members which was reciprocated well.

A positive gesture with respect to extending the mobile handsets to the JEs in the field units was also shown by Management. The issue of E1 plus 5 increments is to explained once again to the Establishment cell.

2] On the issues related to the viability, management side had conducted detailed meetings with vertical directors and Forum leaders have deliberated the issues with the concerned team. On the issue of Swadeshi 4G, BDM appreciated that the indigenous system in place is big achievement not only for BSNL but also for the entire nation. At the same time, the recurrent issues pertaining to the indigenous 4G/5G network which are resulting in the churn of subscribers and the loss of revenue / profitability of BSNL must be taken care of was the demand of the forum. Management side informed that they are open to all feedback/suggestions from the BDM Forum and assured action on the issues submitted by the leaders in the meeting.

3] In the various meetings with CMD BSNL, vertical directors and the nodal officers on the issues raised by BDM, we have submitted our feedback on the critical concerns pertaining to the 4G/5G network, FTTH issues, Maintenance issues, vehicles unavailability, backhaul issues, issues related to the viability of the places chosen for installing the towers etc. and we expect that a time bound resolution shall be extended for the same. We are looking forward to meeting with Director (Enterprise), Restructuring Cell and the nodal cell dealing with the recommendations of the COPU in the next week.

The forum suggestions for ensuring the promotions of all eligible to be examined with a positive perspective.

The forum suggestions of doing away with the proposed three tier hierarchy and replacement with a model which can be implemented in the existing framework of the post-based promotions was also noted and assured to be examined with a positive perspective. In fact, the proposal of the BDM if agreed will ensure promotions from JE to JTO, JTO to SDE, JAO to AO, SDE to AGM and AO to CAO within the ambit of existing framework without disturbing the reservation guidelines as well as the government of India rulings on the subject. If the stay on DGM promotions is vacated, DGM Promotions can also be held.

Further, the committee for deliberating and recommending on the List 12 and 13 seniority issue was also asked to submit its report maximum within 2 weeks. Similarly, the pending PWD promotions was also to be expedited.

A meeting shall be held next week with PGM Pers on the promotional issues.

Forum was asked to take all efforts to settle the legal cases and bringing all to a common understanding to minimise the litigations.

o) Implementation of E1 instead of NE12: Highest Non-Executive scale has to be below the lowest Executives scale. Hence, the issue is being referred to the Wage Negotiation Committee for examination.

p) Intervention at highest level with EPFO authorities to ensure that the EPF higher pension options of BSNL Executives are accepted: The case will be looked into and the needful directions shall be passed on to the circles by next week. Director (Finance) has assured to take up the matter with the Central Provident Fund Commissioner.

q) Granting one time option to be covered under the CCS (Pension) rules 1972 for the executives and non-executives whose recruitment process was initiated notified by DoT before formation of BSNL: The issue pertains to DoT and the earlier submissions of Unions and Associations including AIGETOA & BTEU BSNL have been forwarded to DoT already.

s) Consideration of modification requests, retention on immunity grounds (12th Class, Self PWD/Care giver, Self-Medical /Care giver, Consideration of choice circles only, violation of transfer policy and Association immunity), issuance of Transfer orders of executives completing hard tenure and issuance of OTP orders of the executives back to their parent circles: The cases highlighted by the association have been noted. The management side has assured that all the genuine requests are under consideration and the same shall be issued soon. The remaining OTP cases including for those displaced in long stay shall also be considered in a phased manner. The Tenure orders shall be issued immediately.

5] Management side’s assurance that all necessary steps will be taken to address the issues raised by the BDM Forum as stated above is definitely a positive step but at the same time, management is reluctant on issuance of minutes as some corners have objected on the same. Instead of the minutes, they have issued an appeal which is more of a generic nature but reflects positive thoughts.

6] Management has desired that the forum must give some time to them by postponing the action programs for delivering a tangible outcome on the issues as stated above especially with respect to the 30 percent SAB contribution, Perks and Allowances including the increase in monthly transport allowance, Promotions of all eligible including the settlement of seniority issue of List 12 & 13, Taking up the standard Pay scale & 3rd PRC issues with DoT in the next 10-15 days. We also hope that the wage negotiation committee shall be concluding their discussions and submit the recommendations within next few days.

7] The discussion with the CMD BSNL, Director HR and the HR team on dated 23.06.2025 has definitely ignited another ray of hope for us but is not the way forward till it attains finality in terms of the tangible output. It’s good that the head of the organisation himself has extended assurance and directed the concerned cell to act on the issues in a time bound manner with holistic consideration categorically in the meeting. If management is serious in its approach, we believe that tangible output as a result of these discussions will be visible in next 10-15 days.

8] However, in the absence of the immediate confidence building measures and output in the form of finalisation on the issues especially those pertaining to Pay Scales, Promotions for all eligible, Perks and allowances, 30 Percent SAB, BDM cannot take a call on withdrawing the programs. We do believe that mutual dialogues can only resolve the issues but intent of resolution must be there. All the positivity created vanishes when we see the actions which have been taken post these meetings in this week.

The actions taken in last few days appear to be on the contradictory side especially with respect to issues like unilateral orders on network ambassadors, which in fact is a gross violation of employee rights and additional check on existing hierarchy. Then another significant orders where management has categorically assured positive action was with respect to the resolution of the 147 reversal orders. Despite assuring to resolve the 147-reversal issue in positive, management has issued a speaking order which is negating the resolution of this seniority dispute. In this scenario, it becomes difficult to assume that management will settle the other seniority disputes in a positive manner.

It is very clear that pers section is acting on the advice of few officers who have been holding the key sensitive posts on rotational basis by rotating the chairs from one sensitive post to other in complete contravention to the CVC guidelines. Till these officers are there, there cannot be any respite to the seniority disputes as most of them are the root cause of all these complexities in HR Matters. Additionally, rumours of execution of further mass transfers through a new unilateral transfer policy – which may cause further unrest and are completely unacceptable to the Forum. Added to that non-issuance of retention, cancellation, modification and tenure completion orders despite assuring on a daily basis and whole week being passed after meeting creates doubts even if we want to move forward with positivity.

Management always advocates about meritorious employees for which it, itself devised limited internal examinations. But completely failed to safeguard the interest of these employees, first in 2020 by the then CMD, snatched their rightful seniority. And this time management snatched the chances of promotions for many LICE qualified AGMs by throwing them far away from their existing circles in complete contravention to the rules and guidelines and by ignoring their grievances and genuine compelling reasons. For the First time in the history, persons have been penalised for passing the exam in the form of withholding of EPP and nothing can be more shameful than this. These 19 officers should not consider themselves alone. AIGETOA stands firmly with them and assures to take all actions to nullify this injustice. We are exploring the legal options as well.

The attendance portal update which apparently has made the handsets vulnerable was also not required but the same has been done as if putting multiple checks on the employees is the only priority for the management. No one is afraid of such checks but it definitely exposes the actual intent. Had so much focus would have been given to the operational and HR issues, such type of action programs by various forums would have never been required.

9] Hence before any such consideration of postponement/withholding of the organisational action programs, management has to come up with concrete confidence building measures. Since few programs have been put on hold, rearrangement in the action program and publication of a revised schedule is also a necessity. Accordingly, Forum shall be holding a meeting with all the circle representatives in the weekend to discuss the next course. Dialogue with management will continue, but so will our preparedness for action. A revised schedule for the resumption of action programs shall be circulated.

đź’ĄLUNCH HOUR DEMONSTRATION – 19th JUNE 2025 đź’Ą

🛑 JOIN ENMASSE! MAKE THE MOVEMENT LOUDER AND STRONGER! 🛑

As part of our continued fight for BSNL’s Revival – A National Priority, Bharatiya Doorsanchar Manch calls upon all executives and non-executives of BSNL to participate actively in the Lunch Hour Demonstration on 19th June 2025 at CHQ/Circle/District Headquarters.

Updates on the BDM Meeting with Management on dated 12th June 2025.

A meeting was held with Management on dated 12th June 2025 with respect to the organisational action calls given by Bhartiya Doorsanchar Manch. Management side once again emphasized that they are doing their best to work on the charter of demands raised by the BDM. It was also informed that a pre scheduled meeting with Director (CFA), Director (Ent) and Director (Finance) shall also be held with respect to the demands pertaining to their verticals. BDM side reaffirmed that we are always open to dialogues and discussions with a positive mindset but reiterated such discussions with the authorities must be result oriented and decisions on the demands should be taken during meeting. Management side also highlighted that there was an inadvertent error on the part of minutes issued in last meeting with respect to extension of Standard Pay Scales wherein the management side informed about the communication received from DoT in 2022 during the agitation called by the other association and the same was mistakenly captured as conclusive decision. Management side assured BDM that they shall be immediately communicating the representation received from the Forum on E2-E3 pay scales and waiver of affordability clause on 3rd PRC to DoT for consideration at their end. The management side also shared the update on the actions taken by the HR group on the issues of Perks and Allowances, Revision of TA/DA, Revision of Monthly Transport allowance and the committee constituted for the purpose has almost finalized its report. The progress made so far appeared to be positive but the same is still not final however we do appreciate the progress made so far. Similarly on the issue of Promotions in Finance Section viz AO to CAO and thereafter JAO to AO, BDM proposed to extend the promotions based on earlier precedence under similar conditions and assured that BDM shall extend all possible support to end the stalemate. The same was accepted by Management and the concerned nodal cell was directed to take necessary action on such lines. On the issue of Promotions in Telecom stream, it was assured that management shall be working on some alternate mechanism by which Promotions can be extended to all the eligible executives. The other committees are also working and they shall be submitting their reports expeditiously.

On the issue of SAB and PRMB, it was told that a detailed meeting with Director Finance shall be arranged wherein it can be assessed how much contribution can be increased but management side was categorical in stating that it will be an eyewash if without discussions with Finance wing, anything is assured. However management side assured that they will take best efforts to ensure that a satisfactory increase in SAB Contribution is extended to BSNL Recruits. On the issue of Pay loss, the reconstituted committee shall be notified soon. Further the JE period pay loss issue shall be referred to the management side of the wage negotiation committee for examination. Similarly the issue of fixing appropriate JE pay Scales and stagnation raised by BTEU BSNL shall be referred to wage negotiation committee and the representation submitted by BDM shall be discussed with BTEU BSNL. The issue of extending mobile handsets to non executives shall be examined for placing it before management committee. Management side requested for deferring the organisational actions on the above backdrop.

The issue of consideration of retention and modification requests, issuance of remaining OTP transfers and orders of those who have completed their tenure was also discussed. It was assured that Pers Section shall be taking the needful action soon. The issue of clearing the review DPC of PWD quota executives was also discussed. Management side assured that they are working on the same but due to pendency of data, same is taking time. We requested for expediting the same.

BDM side reaffirmed that we are always open to discussions but we want tangible actions in the form of output. We also stated that we do welcome the change in approach and positivity shall be reciprocated with positivity. We informed management that BDM OBs shall be discussing the appeal of the Management with the rank and file.

Later on post discussions with the CHQ and CS CP, it was decided that since there is a positive progress, WhatsApp Quitting and Twitter Program can be put on hold. But the peaceful lunch hour demonstration shall be held as per the pre-scheduled Program.

Friends, the last meeting held with Management has shown some progress but still we have miles to go before our demands which are in the best interest of BSNL and its employees are met. Hence BDM has decided to keep the action programs on till we get a firm tangible output on the issues raised. Hence all the members are requested to follow the calls and support the objectives. Bharatiya Doorsanchar Manch is committed to ensure that the interests of BSNL and its employees remain protected.

We request all the employees of BSNL to keep extending their support by rising above the association and union boundaries. We assure firmly that we will try our best to fulfill the expectations associated with BDM.

General Secretary Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) Seeks Urgent Intervention of Hon’ble MoC for Revival of BSNL, Development of Swadeshi 4G/5G, and Resolution of Long-Pending HR Issues of BSNL Employees:

General Secretary of Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, the largest trade union in India and the second largest in world has written to Hon’ble Shri Jyotiraditya M Scindia Ji, Hon’ble Minister of Communications seeking his urgent Intervention for Ensuring BSNL’s Viability, Safeguarding the rollout/development of Swadeshi 4G/5G and Resolution Long-Pending HR Issues of BSNL employees. GS BMS has also escalated the matter to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji expressing deep concern over the ongoing distress in Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL).

In the communication, Shri Himte has highlighted that the concerns raised go far beyond routine administrative grievances. It reflects a systemic neglect of a PSU that has immense strategic importance for our nation’s digital self-reliance. GS BMS has pointed out that BSNL being a national asset is pivotal to the Government of India’s telecom objectives, including the Swadeshi 4G/5G initiative and BharatNet project. Yet these vital initiatives continue to face delays, compounded by deteriorating service quality. Failure to address the core issues threatening these programs could derail the Government’s efforts to ensure a self-reliant telecom infrastructure.

GS BMS has also expressed concern over the fact that Management is yet to act upon the recommendations given with respect to operational and HR concerns of BSNL by COPU – The Parliamentary Committee on Public undertakings in its 6th Report for BSNL dated 18th December 2024 submitted to the 18th Lok Sabha.

General Secretary BMS has also requested for appointment of a Regular CMD in BSNL given the strategic importance of BSNL in Nation Building and its involvement in the Projects of National Importance.

GS BMS has also expressed that the BSNL employees are the unsung warriors of BSNL whose contribution towards Nation has largely remained unacknowledged. He highlighted that devotion of BSNL employees have been clearly demonstrated during national emergencies including the current tense Geo-political situation where these employees risked their lives to give uninterrupted communication services across the nation. GS has highlighted upon the need for honoring the sacrifices of BSNL employees who have contributed immensely to the nation’s cause. He highlighted that in view of the involvement of BSNL in the Make in India exercise for developing a swadeshi 4G/5G, its high time that affordability clause is waived off for BSNL and 3rd PRC is implemented for BSNL employees and Pension Revision is affected for BSNL Retirees.

The Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh has expressed its categorical support to the Bharatiya Door Sanchar Manch and stated that they stand firmly with BSNL employees in their rightful demand for fairness, dignity, and restoration of BSNL’s viability.

BDM Submits Firm Response to BSNL Management’s Appeal on Organisational Program – Letter to PGM SR

On 9th June 2025, the Bharatiya Doorsanchar Manch (BDM) submitted a letter of detailed reply to the PGM (SR), BSNL Corporate Office, in response to the appeal dated 2nd June 2025 regarding the withdrawal of the ongoing organisational program. Bharatiya Doorsanchar Manch reiterated its firm resolve to continue with the peaceful and democratic agitation in support of critical issues concerning BSNL’s long-term viability and the unresolved HR concerns of employees and retirees.

Click here for Letter of Reply to PGM SR

The reply emphasized that BDM stands firmly aligned with the vision of “Nation First”. It is highlighted that the ongoing agitation is not just a protest but a lawful, non-disruptive, and responsible expression of the frustration and concerns of thousands of BSNL employees. The massive support of nearly 30,000 signatures underscores the intensity of unrest prevailing among employees across cadres.

BDM strongly conveyed that despite repeated assurances from the management and multiple meetings, including those held on 29th May and 2nd June 2025 under the chairmanship of Director (HR), there has been no tangible progress on key demands. The management has failed to act on issues such as smooth rollout of Swadeshi 4G/5G, strengthening of the backhaul network, redressal of media outages, provisioning of field resources, and ensuring proper utilization of revival packages. The importance of appointing a regular CMD to ensure stable leadership and calls for constructive dialogue to safeguard BSNL’s future as India’s national telecom carrier, continues to be ignored. The lack of implementation of the 6th Report of the Parliamentary Committee on Public Undertakings (COPU) dated 18th December 2024, which provided clear recommendations for BSNL’s revival and operational efficiency, is a serious matter of concern.

BDM expressed disappointment over the management’s lack of seriousness, selective presentation of minutes, and failure to take confidence-building measures, even after the forum unconditionally deferred earlier agitation programs in national interest during the tense geo-political situation. Furthermore, arbitrary transfers and other provocative administrative actions have worsened the situation. The forum also emphasized that the current action is about justice, dignity, and commitment to India’s telecom sovereignty.

BDM conveyed that unless BSNL management shows concrete, result-oriented efforts to address the genuine concerns raised in the charter of demands, the ongoing peaceful organisational programs will continue as planned. The forum reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the national telecom interests, supporting BSNL’s revival, and securing the future of its dedicated workforce.
