A significant number of Junior Engineers (JEs) who joined BSNL in 2017 are due for time-bound upgradation under the Non-Executive Promotion Policy (NEPP) by June/July 2025. These young and energetic employees are about to embark on their executive cadre journey.

A one-time exemption is requested to grant their due increment under NEPP, calculated based on their basic pay in the non-executive cadre, prior to their Pay fixation as JTO.

This consideration will demonstrate empathy and support for these deserving employees.

GS AIGETOA writes to CMD BSNL seeking his intervention in directing the concerned HR units :

GS AIGETOA writes to CMD BSNL seeking his intervention in directing the concerned HR units to work on the issues and ensure its readiness for resolution so that the April 2025 month becomes a historic month for BSNL and its employees and new chapter of growth and development starts for BSNL w.e.f May 2025. GS AIGETOA emphasizes that In the absence of tangible and visible progress on the HR issues by way of concrete preparatory actions by HR units to ensure the resolution of the issues, this cooperation and togetherness will definitely be affected. All HR units should seize this opportunity and should not compel the association to withdraw the cooperation and resort to organizational actions.

GS AIGETOA also requests CMD BSNL for directing all the HR units dealing with various issues to not to spoil this feeling of togetherness and belongingness from the employees. The concerned units should be asked to work on a war footing mode so that employees as well as management can truly celebrate the April 2025 Month as HR Month by way of resolution of long pending issues of Pay, Promotion and Pension.

Relaxation request for the Guidelines on Tenure Areas in BSNL – Counting of Circle tenure under BSNL Transfer Policy – executives serving in BSNLCO, CNTX-N, QA&I, BBNW, ALTTC, INMARSAT, UP(W), HR Circle and Delhi-NCR :

GS AIGETOA writes to Director HR addressing concerns with the recent amendments to the BSNL Transfer Policy, specifically clause 6(d) introduced in the BSNLCO-PERS/15(11)/6/2020-PERS1 order dated 19th September 2023. The clause impacts executives serving in the BSNLCO, CNTX-N, QA&I, BBNW, ALTTC, INMARSAT, UP(W), HR Circle and Delhi-NCR, including areas such as Gurgaon, Faridabad, Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad, by treating them as a composite unit with Delhi/BSNL CO for tenure counting purposes.

Key Concerns Raised by AIGETOA:

1] Geographical Disparity:

Combining vastly different areas under one tenure unit fails to account for the challenges posed by geographical differences. The combined area of 6979 sq. km includes diverse regions with varying commute times, infrastructure, and operational conditions.

2] Unfair Assumption of Advantage:

Executives working in NCR regions face significant travel and logistical difficulties, yet receive minimal transport allowances, insufficient to cover actual expenses.

3] Impact on Employee Welfare and Family Life:

The policy imposes undue pressure on employees to manage family and professional life while fulfilling their official duties, similar to employees in other parts of India.

4] Inconsistencies in Categorization:

Executives serving in Delhi-NCR are subject to both intra-circle and inter-circle transfers under BSNL’s longer-stay policies, causing confusion and inconsistent categorization.

5] Cost Savings and Employee Satisfaction:

Facilitating own-cost transfers and allowing employees more autonomy in managing work-life balance will not only increase satisfaction but also reduce BSNL’s expenses on TA/DA.

6] Preferential Postings for Lady Officers:

We highlighted the need to support women executives by granting preferential postings near their families, improving work-life balance and ensuring safety.

AIGETOA requests the removal of clause 6(d) and seeks amendments to the policy to ensure that the Delhi-NCR region is treated with fairness, aligning it with the policies applicable to similar areas across India. This revision would support BSNL’s objectives while safeguarding the welfare of its employees.
