·        When there is demand from the existing customers of BSNL and staff & officers working in the field units to reduce rental to compete with the Mobile services, the officers seating in BSNL CO are working against this demand and now second time rentals have been increased.

·        It is also fact that customers are leaving BSNL due to heavy rentals and now it is open secrete and the so called Tariff Committee of BSNL is either not aware about this or if aware is intentionally neglecting the public demand.

·        This will definitely affect the existing landline strength and it is feared that some more customers will say Good bye to BSNL landline.

·        Let us hope the Tariff committee understands the reality and correct this revision of tariff so that more and more customers opt for BSNL landline. 

 

 21 APr 16:  Agenda meeting with Smt Sujata T Ray, DIR(HR): GS, CHQ President, AGS Com P P Rao and Jt Sec Com A Dahiya held detailed discussions with DIR(HR) in the scheduled meeting today for almost two hours over the left over issues in the charter of demands. GM (Estt), GM (Pers), GM (SR) and DGM (Estt) was also present in the meeting. This meeting was in continuation to the earlier meeting held on 07.04.2016. The following issues discussed:

1.      30% Superannuation benefit to BSNL recruited Employees: Detailed discussions held on the subject. Assn pointed out that the calculation made by EF section is nothing but an attempt to derail the long pending issue. EF section is changing the figures on medical (PRMB) frequently from 1.5% to 3% and then to 13.8% without any proper study or calculation. In all other PSUs, the contribution towards PRMB varies between 3% to 4.5% and there is no justification in the BSNL stand that the expenditure is 13.8%, Assn pointed out. It is not acceptable to us, Assn clearly told management. DIR (HR) agreed to our view point and informed that mgt could not consult SNEA and some major unions before taking a decision on 3% as all of us are out of station. So to start with, it is proposed 3%. After detailed discussion, DIR (HR) informed that mgt is not agreeing with the views of EF section and assured Assn that the exact amount will be worked on medical (PRMB) and review will be made on the contribution after that. After review, further increase will be made based on the actual calculation. This is a major breakthrough on 30% superannuation issue. We are closely monitoring further developments on this issue.

2.      Officiating pay fixation, pay protection – withdrawal of wrong clarifications issued on 30.05.2007 and 19.02.2010: Detailed discussions held on various provisions of FR, Supreme Court judgment on pay fixation on officiating promotion, DoT orders, EPP and the clarifications issued to EPP. Assn pointed out that, former DIR (Fin) of BSNL clearly mentioned in a note that the stand taken by the Pers section that there is no pay protection is not correct as it is against the provisions of FR and DoT orders. We had given of copy of the document to establish our stand on the issue to the mgt. Hon Supreme Court also held that pay protection given on officiating promotion is correct. Moreover, in all the court cases, DoT stated that pay protection on Offtg promotion was given and BSNL cannot change the stand now. After discussion, DIR (HR) directed GM (Pers) to re-examine the whole issue based on the relevant rules and the documents submitted by SNEA.

3.      Implementation of Joint Committee recommendations on:

a)    Standard pay scales of E2, E3 replacing E1A and E2A: DIR (HR) told that frequent change of stand by some Assns is the stumbling block in the resolution of the issue. If all are taken a common view to address the issue of E1A and E2A pay scales, it would have been addressed long back. If Assns are demanding cascading effect, mgt will not consider the issue at all due to financial constraints. Mgt also not referred this matter to the committee, committee has been asked to examine introduction of E2 and E3 replacing E1A and E2A without touching other grades/scales. In order to address the issue, mgt taken steps by E1+5 increments and E2 scales. Assn clearly told that we stand by the Joint Committee recommendations on E2, E3 scales and it has to be implemented in letter and spirit. In the name of divergent views, mgt cannot deny the legitimate issue of standard pay scales of E2 and E3. This issue has to be resolved before the constitution of 3rd PRC; otherwise Assn or BSNL will not be in a position to submit even a memorandum to the PRC.

b)    Time Bound Functional promotion or CPSU cadre hierarchy: The proposed presentation to CMD, BSNL is postponed to 26.04.2016.

c)     Uniform TBP between 4 to 5 years instead of 4 to 6 years w.e.f 01.10.2000. During discussion, it is assured that it will be processed immediately after CPSU hierarchy as it is linked with the first two recommendations on pay scales and CPSU Hierarchy.

4.     On JTO to SDE promotion under seniority quota: Mgt assured that all the formalities will be completed in advance. Action is taken to collect the VCs. All CSs are once again requested to send the VCs immediately. As updation of VC data will take lot of time for thousands of cases, VC has to reach BSNLCO well in advance. Efforts are being made to break the stalemate on LDCE promotion also, Mgt informed. SDE to DE promotion case is coming on 22.04.16, tomorrow. On AO and CAO promotion, the case is coming on 20.05.2016.

5.     Membership verification among Executives Associations. Restoration of trade union facilities and deduction of subscription from Salary till membership verification is conducted:  Mgt informed that subscription deduction cannot be considered at this point of time as it will affect/influence the outcome of membership verification. Further mgt assured that all efforts are taken to conduct the verification at the earliest. Appropriate action will be taken shortly to conduct the verification.

6.      Time Bound Promotion after 4 years from Lateral JTO and Sr SDE grade as done in the case of AAO and Sr AO grades: It is a long pending demand of the Association. However it was not agreed by the mgt which had taken a stand that these are all upgradations. In EPP, hierarchy is defined as JTO/JAO to SDE/AO to DE/CAO and hence it cannot be considered. Further it was examined by a committee headed by Sri KCGK Pillai and the committee also found that these are upgradations and not post based promotions following the Hierarchy. Recently management issued clarifications allowing upgradations after 4 years from AAO and Sr AO grades. This discrimination has created large scale resentment among thousands of lateral JTOs and Sr SDEs. Assn requested to extend the same benefit to lateral JTOs and Sr SDE grades also to end discrimination. After discussion, it was assured that mgt will consider the case.

7.     Notional pay of E1A and E2A for Civil/Elect wings w.e.f 01.10.2000: Assn request to consider the case sympathetically based on Vinay Sahi Committee recommendations. On comparison with JAO, mgt categorically informed that these two cadres are not identical as in the case of JAO, it was implemented as per the direction of Govt, Ministry of Finance. JAO pay scales were upgraded from 1997 itself, notionally. Further, similar cadres like PA/PS etc also to be taken into account. According to Estt section, huge financial implication is there, about 161 Crores, mainly on pension contribution. Later on Assn held further discussions with GM (Estt) and collected the details. The discussion will continue after examining the inputs.

16 APr 16: Update on JTO Rule 8 Request transfers:  Though the letters for consent of top five Rule 8 Request transfers to each Circle have been sent by registered post by Maharashtra Circle to concerned Circles before three weeks, till none of Circles has replied to these letters and confirmed that they are ready to accommodate these JTOs in their Circle. It may be fact that the staff sections of concerned circle may not have received these letters or if received may have been kept at lower level and may not have processed in the files for approval of competent authority. On the receipt of the consent letters from these Circles, Maharashtra Circle will issue transfer of these JTOs and hence matter needs to be pursued vigorously. As total 149 Rule 8 Transfers are pending from Maharashtra and till only 50 have been given consideration in first phase and for second phase transfers the process of first Phase needs to be completed in time bound manner & minimum time period. SNEA MH is pursuing with the concerned circles through the SNEA Circle Secretaries, but concerned JTOs are also requested to pursue the matter with officers in staff section of concerned circles so that these circles send consent letters to Maharashtra Circle without further delay and process of rule 8 transfers is speed up so that matter can be pursued for remaining cases of rule 8 transfers.

M A Khan. He explained how association is right on the issue and assured house that SNEA will strongly pursue with management to implement the standard pay scales at the earliest. He narrated difference between SNEA and other associations and SNEA stand on cascading effect. He added SNEA has demanded to streamline intermediate E1A/E2A pay scales into standard E2/E3 pay scale which management has principally agreed. He made it clear that demanding something like cascading effect at last moment can create hurdles in settlement of our main demand for Standard Pay scale for JAO/JTO, SDE/AO and settlement of this prime demand will definitely give justice to those who are getting less payment due to E1+5 increments and waiting for E2 from beginning. He explained how EPF issue was properly settled because of intervention of SNEA. He elaborated the facts how SNEA MH is being strengthened by all DS and COBs throughout Maharashtra Circle.  On superannuation benefit to the BSNL recruited employees, he mentioned the open commitment given by CMD BSNL in recent All India Conference of SNEA at Jaipur to increase of 6% from the current however some representative of other associations met CMD in absence of SNEA and agreed for 3 %. He appealed all to get rid of fear of transfer and perform the assigned work honestly. He appealed to have self-introspection and mainly to know and understand self-strength. He added that the real strength of the BSNL is its own work force and this huge work force only can turn around the BSNL’s position if directed properly. He added it is very much essential to increase confidence and motivation level of the employees of BSNL to make positive growth. He told that we have got good social image because of being part of BSNL however those working in other private companies knew how much work they have to perform for the salary which we are getting in BSNL. He has also put forth his experience during Circle conference at Jalgaon and efforts taken by team SNEA Jalgaon to hold this conference successfully.

He praised the various initiatives taken by BSNL Management and appealed all to respond positively and whole-heartedly Finally he added, the goodwill of the company is increased due to various die hard efforts of BSNL employees in the recent past and during various natural calamities.  He appealed all to take part in all upcoming competitive exams and test their talent.

 8 APr 16: Meeting with Smt Sujata T Ray, DIR (HR) on the charter of demands: DIR (HR) called a meeting on 07.04.2016 to discuss the charter of demands submitted by SNEA. GS, CHQ President, AGS Com P Padmanabha Rao, Jt Sec Com Arvind Pal Dahiya represented SNEA. GM (Pers), GM (Estt), GM (SR) and DGM (SR) attended from management side. The response from management side is slightly positive and gives an impression that now they are serious to resolve the issues.

1.     Implementation of Joint Committee recommendations on Standard pay scales of E2, E3 replacing E1A and E2A: DIR (HR) informed that management examined the Khan Committee recommendations and DIR (HR) had a detailed discussion with CMD on the subject. The financial implications, demands from various Assns and its implications and likely anomalies, terms of reference of the Committee, Khan Committee recommendations etc discussed. Management decided to implement the recommendations of the three Assns and Khan Committee, which recommended replacement of E1A scale with E2 and E2A scale with E3. The committee has been asked to examine replacement scales of E1A and E2A scales only. Mgt will consider only to that extend. The cascading effect is not agreed by the management in the initial stage itself due to huge financial implications and E3 to E9 pay scales are standard pay scales approved by DoT in 2009 itself and hence it cannot be changed. Mgt will restrict to the issue referred to the Khan committee. Management want to settle the non-standard pay scales as demanded by the Assns which affect the JTO/JAOs of 2007, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2014 etc batches recruited after 01.01.2007. CMD directed DIR (HR) to inform this decision of management to all the three Assns, DIR (HR) informed us. A combined meeting will be called in the 3rd week once DIR (HR) back from tour. Immediately after that same proposal will be processed. Mgt appealed not to come on the way of settlement of this basic issue of finalisation of replacement scales for E1A and E2A before 3rd PRC. Assn requested to resolve this issue immediately, otherwise pay scale revision for all the Executives will be in trouble once PRC is constituted.  Now the resolution of non-standard pay scales of E1A and E2A by E2, E3 scales for the young JTO/JAOs are back on track due to our continuous pressure. However, we should be on high alert and full organizational preparedness to counter any attempt to derail the issue.

2.     30% Superannuation benefit to BSNL recruited Employees: Assn told management that it was clearly assured in the Jaipur AIC in the presence of all other trade union leaders that 6% will be the contribution from management side. Now it is a betrayal from management side by unilaterally reducing it from 6% to 3%. Mgt try to justify the action without any convincing reason. Earlier, EX CMD offered up to 4% but it was not accepted. Mgt is trying to justify it by stating that 3 to 6% was a proposal and after detailed calculation it is decided for 3%. The Finance wing was not even ready for 3%. According to them already sufficient contribution is making. Management further informed that a meeting of the Assns and Unions was called on 19.02.2016 to discuss the proposal in which AIGETOA and NFTE was present. SNEA, BSNLEU, AIBSNLEA etc was not present. It was told to them about the 3% proposal. Even though those who are present not agreed for 3% but they didn’t oppose. It is surprising that when 3 to 4% offered two years back, they are opposing it demanding nothing less than 12% but now keeping a studied silence. Assn made its stand very clear that 3% is not acceptable to us and earlier assurance of 6% which takes the total contribution to 24% should be implemented. Mgt informed that further discussions on the details will be held shortly.

3.     Time Bound Functional promotion or CPSU cadre hierarchy: DIR (HR) assured that the recommendation will be processed soon. Mgt is keen to implement it. A presentation on the implementation of Jt Committee recommendations will be given to CMD on 21.04.2016. Once the broad recommendations are accepted by the management, further discussions will be held to discuss implementation. DIR (HR) assured that Assns suggestions on placement/absorption of Executives working in two or three scales above directly in higher grades without DPC as a onetime measure and giving relaxation in qualifying service for promotion to the next grade, decentralized DPCs at Circle level as followed now in EPP to avoid delay, uniform date of promotion which will end pay anomalies etc will be considered positively at the time of implementation. Assn requested to present the 3rd recommendation of Uniform first TBP between 4 to 5 years instead of 4 to 6 also in the presentation.

4.     Promotions in different wings from JTO to SDE, JAO to AO, SDE to DE/EE, AAO to CAO and DE to DGM. The status of various promotions discussed one by one. The court cases on various DPC also discussed. On JTO to SDE DPC, Mgt informed that all preparatory work is completed and shortly a favourable decision from Ernakulam HC is expected once the Hon HC is reopened. On LDCE promotion, all the 321 cases are transferred to PCAT, New Delhi and it will be heard this month itself. The hearing on court case at Chandigarh on JTO to SDE (LDCE) and SDE to DE is listed for hearing this week itself. The other court cases related to JAO to AO promotion and AO to CAO promotion is posted in May, 2016.

5.     Membership verification among Executives Associations by addressing the issues raised and restoration of trade union facilities, deduction of subscription from Salary till membership verification is conducted: Assn strongly demanded for conduction of membership verification immediately. There is no stay on verification as propagated by SR section and others. Those worried about verification only giving propaganda about stay. The Hon court stayed one of the provisions of the Recognition Rules which arbitrarily disallows the Assns registered under Trade Union Act. There are no guidelines to disallow them. If verification is delayed further, Assn demanded to restore the Trade union facilities available before the notification and start deduction of subscription from salary. DIR (HR) immediately asked GM (SR) why verification is not conducting if stay is not there and further directed to discuss with GM (Legal) to find a way out to end the deadlock and start verification.

6.     Discussion on the following issues postponed to the next meeting:

a.  Joint Committee recommendations on Uniform TBP between 4 to 5 years instead of 4 to 6 years w.e.f 01.10.2000,

b.  Officiating pay fixation, pay protection – withdrawal of wrong clarifications issued on 30.05.2007 and 19.02.2010,

c.   Time Bound Promotion after 4 years from Lateral JTO and Sr SDE grade as given in the case of AAO and Sr AO grades,

d. Notional pay of E1A and E2A for Civil/Elect wings w.e.f 01.10.2000. Since DIR (HR) is on tour next week, next meeting will be held in the 3rd week.

6 APr 16: BSNL CO issued clarification on grant on increment on promotion wherein the disparity created after 3% increment formula will be settled. Letter <<<>>>   

       On the revision of pay, the increment rate was fixed as 3% of earlier basic and while granting more than one increment at a time due on promotions, the rounding off was done wrongly.

He said that in all India SNEA is having the highest paid membership & SNEA Maharashtra led by Com. Kokate & Com. Kalmegh is in number one position in all India as per as total membership is considered. This is just due to fair working of SNEA. SNEA is continuously fighting for the upliftment of executives in BSNL. SNEA is fully devoted towards growth of BSNL. All SNEA Comrades are working hard and trying to give the best of services to the consumers with the available resources. He said that the Notional fixation for C/E Executives from 1/10/2000 is one of the important agenda being pursued by SNEA will be taken care. He recalled the ACP issue in C/E wing wherein SNEA succeeded in stopping the recoveries of senior Executives & then finally issuing the ACP orders thus solving the major issue of ACP.

He said in Telecom & other wings any executive can become DGM/GM but in Civil Wing a Diploma Holder is finding hard to become even an Executive Engineer. He stresses for common RR for Arch/Civil/ Electrical wing at par with Telecom could be the solution. In this way the senior most SDE can at least become Executive Engineer and could at least get two functional promotions in his life time. But due to court cases most of the Senior Executives will soon retire as SDE only which is really sad. He also said that in Arch/Civil/Elect Transfer policy is not being followed at par with Telecom. It will be opposed if transfers are not done at par with Telecom and in uniform policy manner.

He assured to look into issue and assured to have meeting with CE E & GM HR/Admn Mumbai on this subject. On the issue of merger of Civil Electrical wing in main stream, he recalled that once proposal was moved by SNEA and comments were also called by Corporate office, but it was negatively responded by then PCE Civil & then CE Elect. He assured to have fresh look on this proposal. For problems of payments through ERP he told the house that when bills are cleared by filed units, the CSC cell Mumbai of which Com. Om Prakash is part releases the payments without any delay and hence filed units should send the bills without delay. On the seniority issue raised by Com Amit Patil JTO E & Com N A Thite SDE C regarding discrepancy in Seniority list he assured to take up issue with BW cell BSNL CO. While elaborating HR issues of electrical wing and its successful pursuance by SNEA MH, he appreciated HR approach of Mrs. Neelam Singhal CE Elect Mumbai and conveyed her thanks for such positive and human approach in dealing with individual grievances. While stressing on the stronger unity executives of Civil/Electrical wing, he appealed house to bring further awareness among the executives of both the wings and be alert against the corrupt practices followed by some individuals and in conclusion of speech assured house full co-operation to all the executives of Civil/Electrical wing on platform of SNEA.

·        Com. M. S. Hannure, VP C/E SNEA Mumbai in his presidential speech told the house that recently maintenance work of around 600 BTS USO towers has been given to Electrical wing but due to non-availability of vehicles the executives will find it difficult to maintain Hence appeal to the house for making it convenient to provide the vehicles for smooth maintenance work of BTS.

·        From this year onwards, the long stay list will be operated combinely for SDEs in Territorial Circle as well as for all SDEs working in Non-Recruiting Circles   but in the territory of that Recruiting Circle.

·        In some of the cases the entry seems to be counted from cadre below JTO or from the start of JTO Training which is not correct and all individuals will have to represent their cases.

·        The names of the long stay SDEs from last year long stay list are missing even though they have not completed 55 years of the age.

·        The SDEs having genuine medical problems as defined in transfer policy may submit their representation along with all relevant documents and Certificate of Civil Surgeon so as to delete their names from this long stay list.

·        It is also seen that the list is not exactly sorted out as per date of joining as date format is different and hence this list is not totally as per the long stay and some names are appearing at different positions of long stay that where it should have been practically.

·        By considering all above facts, there will be much changes in this long stay list and there are chances that names of some other SDEs may be added in this list of 100 long stayed SDEs.

·        As such all these SDEs in this long stay list should be alert and check the correctness of their own data as well as data of all other parallel /senior SDEs and get it corrected first at SSA and then at Circle Office, because once the list is finalised by MH Circle and sent to BSNL CO, it will be difficult to change it at later stage and individuals may have to face hardship mainly due to wrong. 

·        The discrepancies in the stay particulars, missing names if any are to be represented in writing and its copy is to be emailed to adstb@bsnl.co.in  latest by 12/04/2016.

4 APr 16: Availability of EPBTs in Maharashtra Circle: During different General Body meetings and District Conferences of SNEA in different SSAs, the comrades are raising issue of acute shortage of EPBTs in filed units. But it is found that ample EPBTs are available in Stores of BSNL Maharashtra Circle. When many of the customers in different SSAs are complaining about faulty EPBTs or officers are facing shortage of EPBTs for providing new connections, unfortunately EPBTs from Maharashtra Circle are being diverted to other Circles as having excess in stock of MH Circle.  As on Toady about 80000 EPBTs are available in different stores of Maharashtra Circle and filed units are expressing about shortage of EPBTs that means there is some communication gap between filed units and Circle Office.

   As such all needy SSAs/ Units may submit their requisition to Com. Murali Uduta JTO SP Mumbai (Contact 022-26467433 Mob 9423891070) and get EPBTs allotted as per their requirement.

1 APr 16: DGM HR Mumbai issued orders for relieving of Shri. R. N. Patel PGM Nagpur on his promotion as CGMT CG Circle. Letter <<<>>>   

Though it is matter of promotion of Shri. R. N. Patel, PGMT as CGMT, it will be great loss to Maharashtra Circle in general and Nagpur SSA in particular. Since the day, Shri. R. N. Patel has taken over the charge of Nagpur SSA; he has taken lot of initiatives for improvement of telecom services and growth of Nagpur SSA. The Nagpur SSA which was once lagging on many fronts has taken top position in many fronts during his tenure. It was his motivation and supporting hand that every officer/staff has contributed for growth of BSNL Nagpur. As PGMT Nagpur, he was one of the best SSA Heads not only throughout Maharashtra Circle, rather throughout India.

Shri. Patel has gained confidence of the executives and non-executives of Nagpur SSA by his actions and personal communication with all. He has taken strong initiatives and pains to build up strong relations by direct interaction with the local authorities, Govt authorities, politicians & Hon MPs and was nicely utilising it for growth of BSNL.

As official procedure, he has been promoted & posted as CGMT Chhattisgarh Circle, but his experience of working in Maharashtra Circle, talent & his special abilities would have been better utilised by BSNL management by posting him within Maharashtra Circle. We are confident that he was having much scope as PGMT Nagpur than CGMT Chhattisgarh Circle earned by Nagpur SSA will be more than the Chhattisgarh Circle. But Maharashtra Circle, though biggest Circle and contributing about 20% of total revenue of BSNL is always given biased treatment and such good rather best officers seems to be kept away from MH Circle intentionally. Let us hope and wait for the day when Shri. R. N.  Patel or officer with similar efficiency and quality will be again posted to Maharashtra Circle

In history and in minds of employees of BSNL Nagpur, the contribution of Shri. R.N. Patel as PGMT Nagpur will be written in golden letters. SNEA MH congratulates Shri. R. N. Patel on his promotions as CGMT Chhattisgarh Circle and wishes his grand success in this new assignment with hopes that he will shortly join again in Maharashtra Circle.   S
