GS AIGETOA writes to the CMD BSNL to STOP leakage of revenue through bundled VAS services from mobile services :

GS AIGETOA writes to the CMD BSNL regarding eating away of our hard earned revenue by the vendors by offering bundled VAS Services even after our serious objections as well as various Circles representation against the default service. He raised the matter that when BSNL don’t have money to pay salary to their regular employees on time, medical bills of employees are pending, medical limit has been reduced, sufficient fund is not being given to Circles for maintenance, the bills of works carried out by various petty workers/agencies are pending since many months and they are begging for the amount and disturbing our services at many locations on this account. Then, how we can afford to shed away even a single rupee, which could have been saved?

Hence, AIGETOA demanded following in the larger interest of BSNL:

  1. A white paper may be published every quarter having the details of the % increase in BSNL revenue in a particular voucher and % increase in VAS vendors billing before and after implementation of these services.
  2. The circles should be empowered to decide the Bundle VAS services as per their demographic situation and requirement of the circle with greater say in decision making process.
  3. The revenue earning must be analyzed properly before start of bundled VAS with any STV and it should be reviewed quarterly vis-à-vis revenue collected and once the STV becomes Popular, the bundles VAS services should be withdrawn immediately.
  4. Odisha model must be implemented on a pan India basis thereby saving more than Rs 150 Cr every year, sufficient to maintain good infrastructure for BTS maintenance.
  5. Default bundled services of LOKDHUN, EROS-NOW etc may be withdrawn immediately on pan India basis and allowed only through on demand subscription basis as existing earlier.
  6. A committee should be formed comprising of management side and representative associations side to review all existing bundled VAS services associated with various STVs. We can’t be a mute spectator when crores of rupees are being paid to the VAS vendors for no benefits to BSNL and employees are waiting for their basic due of salary and medical bills in this pandemic situation.

20 Years of Misrule and Misguidance
AIGETOA will end this once for all..
Your support will make AIGETOA Number 1
Lie No. 2 of Proclaimed SENA Exposed
Go through the fact File to check how Proclaimed SENA damaged the Pay Scale issue of BSNL Recruits and what is AIGETOA’s plan to get it done.

It’s a well-known truth that the Young JTO/JAOs are the future of BSNL but the Proclaimed SENA is only for the peers of their leaders. It’s good that the proclaimed SENA themselves are accepting on their “lie machine i.e. their website” that they got 03 pay scale upgradations so far in 1) 1986, 2) 1996, 3) from 01.10.2000 and rightfully so, all these pay upgradations were for their own peers but when time for BSNL Recruits came, they got the scale degraded first to E1A and then to E1. This discrimination shall be ended by AIGETOA by ensuring E2 scales which will benefit hugely to all JTOs/JAOs promoted or recruited post
1.1.2007.
The following charges have been found true about proclaimed SENA:

1. In 2004, the proclaimed SENA had accepted intermediate scale of E1A for JTO/JAO Just to keep their pension protected at the cost of BSNL Recruits who were left pension less despite provisions in Gazette Notification of formation of BSNL.
They in fact demanded lower scales for new recruits.

2. In 2009, the proclaimed SENA didn’t demand E2 during second pay revision when mgmt itself had promised in 2004 to upgrade scales during 2nd pay revision. The proclaimed SENA did not pursue it in 2009 when BSNL was in huge profit.
The proclaimed SENA in fact demanded intermediate scales of E1A instead of standard E2 scale during 2nd pay revision as their prime focus was to get 30% Fitment and immediate Pension revision.

3. In 2014, the proclaimed SENA allowed mgmt. to further degrade scale of JTO from E1A to E1 through JTO RR 2014. The proclaimed SENA didn’t do any single agitation against this degradation of scales from E1A to E1 and in fact joined hand with Management against AIGETOA who has served agitation notice on these issues. It is worth to mention that the proclaimed SENA has not filed any court  ase against the degradation of the scales, they are looking forward to AIGETOA’s fight for E2 scales for JTOs/JAOs.
Click here for the congratulatory messages of one of the associations welcoming JTO RR 2014

They say that they supported JTO RR 2014 because they wanted LICE residency period to be reduced. But residency period can easily be amended without notifying new RRs as was being done when residency was reduced from 10 years to 7 years by way of a simple amendment.
The only agenda of proclaimed SENA was to regularise Officiating JTOs and
they did it by compromising on Pay Scales of E1 for JTO/JAO under pressure from management else through JTORR 2001, nobody could have regularised these officiating JTOs.
By making it retrospective effect implementation (Their Plans were foiled by AIGETOA), they tried not only to degrade the scales for all JTOs recruited post 1.1.2007 but also they tried to place these officiating JTOs above LICE 2012 JTOs.
All JTOs/JAOs recruited as well as promoted after this RR amendment got the reduced scale and hence are getting pay loss of 10,000 to 16,000.
There malicious designs in Pay Parity committee was also evident from their unreasonable submissions in the committee which is giving JTOs/JAOs of 2007, 2008 and 2010 batches, a pay loss of Rs 22,000/- per month. It was AIGETOA case against JTO RR 2014 in Ernakulum which has saved all JTOs/JAOs from E1 scales as hon’ble court restrained management from degrading the scales else BSNL would have surely accepted the Presidential order of DoT without any delay.
4. By Agreeing for lower pay of E1 in JTO RR 2014, not only did they lowered the pay of young JTOs/JAOs but also they agreed to the draconian clauses of Bond Period for five years, Bond Amount, Interest@18% and Non-applicability of Rule 8 Transfers to GATE 2017 JTOs which has made the life of young JTOs/JAOs very miserable.
5. In 2018, in the name of CPSU, again the proclaimed SENA accepted E1 for JTO/JAO. The proclaimed SENA never tried to upgrade it to E2 in the draft policy and left it unsettled.From above, it is very clear that the Proclaimed Sena is solely responsible with all the miseries of BSNL Recruits with respect to Pay issue. They got degraded scales for BSNL recruits just for the petty benefits and appease their masters. They will do nothing only will blame AIGETOA.

AIGETOA has complete roadmap planned for the implementation of E2 Pay Scales for all JTOs/JAOs along with arrears.
Having gained sufficient legal advantage through court cases on this issue, We will be getting these issues resolved through discussions/organisational actions within six months of our election as representative association.

All the post 1.1.2007 JTOs/JAOs, either recruited or promoted in BSNL shall be hugely benefitted out of this achievement. AIGETOA has complete roadmap for getting the bond amount, interest and Bond Period reduced. AIGETOA has complete roadmap for ensuring the interim benefit of E1 plus five increments for all batches. AIGETOA has complete road map for resolution of the pay parity issue of 22820 as initial basic for those recruited in pre-revised E1A scales.

All BSNL Recruits are going to teach the proclaimed SENA a lesson for their misdeeds of 20 years and killing the pay of BSNL Recruits by voting them out and

by choosing All India Graduate Engineers & Telecom Officers Association as their representative by voting at Number 3.

GS AIGETOA once again took the matter of settlement of pay disparity issue of post 2007 JTOs/JAOs who were recruited in pre-revised scale of E1A by initial basic as Rs 22820/- and implementation of E2 scale for all JTOs/JAOs recruited/promoted post 01.01.2007 by adopting E2 scale in JTO and JAO RRs in BSNL:

GS AIGETOA once again taken up the cause of extreme plight of BSNL recruited executives of post 2007 JTOs/JAOs, who were recruited in pre-revised scales of E1A with regard to their pay disparity and huge losses in their monthly salary.JTOs/JAOs of post 2007 BSNL recruited in year 2007, 2008 & 2010, appointed and worked on pre revised scale of 9850-14600 (E1A) till implementation of 2nd PRC in BSNL and many of them continued to work in same scale even upto January 2012. After implementation of 2nd PRC retrospectively from 01.01.2007, initial basic of JTOs of post 2007 were fixed at Rs. 19020 in revised E1-Scale provisionally, as no corresponding scale was given by the DoT against E1A and E2A in the presidential order. As per the notification of their recruitment, justice could have been done only if they would have been placed in the grade with Rs. 22820 as initial basic to compensate their losses and keep them at par with other similarly placed entrants in the grade. A status of their loss with current pay vis-a-vis their pre-revised pay has been worked out to enumerate the pain of these executives.

Initial Basic as on April 2009 Basic as on April 2020 DP as on April 2020 DA as on April 2020 DA as on April 2020 Salary (Basic + DA) on May 2020
In pre-revised scale as initial
basic Rs 9850/-

With initial basic as Rs

1. Loss in salary with respect
to pre revised i.e. Rs 9850 on April 2020 = Rs 11351
(i) = Rs (82235 ??70884)
    = Rs 113551
2. Loss in salary with respect
to Rs 22820 on April 2020 = Rs 22003
(ii) = Rs (92887-70884)
     = Rs 22003/-

The General Secretary also requested to adopt E2 scale for JTO/JAO in the respective Recruitment Rules as BSNL has already approved E2 scales for JTO/JAO. The need is to modify the RRs and extend the benefits of E2 Scale to all JTOs/JAOs who have been recruited/ promoted after 1.1.2007. This will ensure extension of standard pay scale of E2 to all JTOs/JAOs equivalent grade in BSNL to compensate their recurring loss from 1.1.2007 and upgrade the cadre before merger of MTNL, where scale of JTO/JAO are E2. Adopting E2 scale for JTOs/JAOs by modify the RRs will delink it from PO of DoT and pave the way for settlement of long pending issue of settlement of E2 scales within BSNL itself for all JTOs/JAOs recruited/promoted post 1.1.2007.

GS AIGETOA writes to CMD BSNL regarding provision of Residential Service Telephone Connection (RSTC) on FTTH with high speed intent service to all executives:

It’s a fact that many of the areas have become TNF due to physical damage of the UG cable due to expansion of the civic amenities in the cities and villages through
renewed construction of Road, Sewerage, Underground Power lines, Underground Gas pipeline, Nami Ganga Project etc. In this scenario our officers are facing severe hardship to carryout online works through the wireless data of service mobile connection due to various constraints.

BSNL itself is a service provider to the high speed FTTH internet connection, it will be very much required to provide one FTTH connection of suitable plan as Residential Service Telephone Connection in place of existing RSTC on copper cable to all the executives to cater their official need as well as personal experience of the service.
