31 DEC 14: BLACK MAGIC IS WORKING IN BSNL MAHARASHTRA CIRCLE: Yes Comrades , we have no option other than to believe that black magic is working in BSNL Maharashtra Circle as yesterday we have witnessed that a single and illegal relieving order was issued by Circle Office Mumbai when none of the responsible officer was present in the Office.  Order <<<>>>

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 SNEA (I) MH strongly condemns such pick and choose & totally biased order issued in unofficial manner with injustice to many of executives.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 This is order of Com. B.D.Gaikar, so called DS AIBSNLEA Nashik who was demanding immunity from transfer for last seven months as he is responsible Office Bearers by becoming DS by replacing earlier DS over the period of night when orders for long stay were to be issued by Circle office.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 It is important that without conducting any formal meeting and just to avoid long stay transfer of Com. B.D. Gaikar SDE become DS and asked for immunity. This came to notice when some of comrades of AIBSNLEA made complaint to Shri. M.K. Jain on his visit to Nashik and in written also that there was no any meeting of AIBSNLEA Nashik was conducted and hence this claim for immunity is illegal and is affecting  members of AIBSNLEA who are in long stay for out of Nashik transfer .

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 But on such written complaints also no action was taken and Shri. Suresh Babu Prajapati GMT Nashik and Shri. M. K. Jain CGMT MH kept “mum” for months together by calling clarification from Circle Office and when it was understood that some action was being taken by Circle Office for granting immunity and transferring next long stay officers including members of SNEA (I) Nashik and Com. S.A.Bhadane DS SNEA (I) Nashik wrote letter on misuse of immunity and same was taken care after continuous persuasion by SNEA (I) MH with Shri. M. K. Jain, CGMT MH and on 19/11/2014 Circle Office issued letter that immunity is not applicable in this case. In entire process the role of Shri. M.K. Jain, CGMT MH was very important and due to his intentional delay in taking decision on immunity issue Com. B.D.Gaikar got illegal time of more than seven months for not reliving from Nashik to Jalgaon.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 When matter was rejected for immunity from MH Circle first step of black magic was seen when transfer order of Com. B.D. Gaikar was issued by BSNL CO on recommendation of CGM ITPC Pune by overruling the conditions of long stay. You may remember that in willingness called for ITPC Pune it was clearly mentioned that officers in long stay list will not be considered for posting to ITPC Pune. The same was neglected by BSNL CO and order was issued for transfer to ITPC in which SDEs are transferred from MH Circle to ITPC including many of long stayed officers and same was brought to notice of competent authority by SNEA (I) MH.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 The matter was recently discussed with Shri. S.S.Agarwal Sr GM Pers BSNL CO, during his visit to Mumbai, who also has agreed that if transfers for ITPC are issued of SDEs in long stay list then it is wrong and will be cancelled and matter was discussed in front of Shri. Pravin Malhotra Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai, who also supported the facts. Then Maharashtra Circle also has informed BSNL CO that none of SDE can be relived for ITPC Pune due to shortage of SDEs and requested for posting SDEs from other Circles.     

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 But on close of year 2014, we have to believe it was black magic that made our dashing and very intelligent CGMT MH to work under pressure and to issue single order by neglecting standing instructions on the subject and forgetting some ethical guidelines to be followed by highest authority of biggest Circle in BSNL.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 This order is issued when AGM Staff Mumbai, DGM HR/Admn, Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai, CGMT MH i.e. all the responsible officers for transfer posting of executives were on leave , order for relieving of single SDE is issued with signature of another AGM who is not having officially charge of AGM Staff Mumbai. When we see that no. of files are pending even for want of clerks this order was issued without any formal process of office work and when CGMT MH had written DO letter to BSNL CO just before week that none of officer from Maharashtra Circle under transfer to ITPC Pune  can be relived due to shortage of SDEs. Apart from this more than 12 requests of SDEs and five requests of JTOs are straight rightly rejected by CGMT MH on name of shortage of executives in Maharashtra Circle. This is possible only due to ideas like “Black Magic” normally we do not believe as not supported by science and in this case we have to believe as it is understood that order is issued when everyone from section clerk to CGMT MH  was on leave on the day.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 We have traced the source of this “BLACK Magic” and surprisingly it was sms by Shri. M. K. Jain CGMT MH to Shri. Pravin Malhotra Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai and its downward transmission and it worked like black magic and order was issued in lightening speed and within no time with signature of AGM whoever is AGM available in the office as AGM Staff also in on long leave. 

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 It is most important that this entire process is being adopted by CGMT MH while on leave from Rajasthan where he is on family tour on All India LTC for last one week and unfortunately he has used such out of turn authority for supporting SDE who is under transfer from Nashik to Jalgaon since May 2014 and was not relieved by Shri. Suresh Babu Prajapati GMT Nashik may again due to black magic.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Just before four days delegation of SNEA (I) Nashik had meeting with GMT Nashik on relieving of many of SDEs under transfer including this SDE, he has assured that next day i.e. on 27/12/2014 his office will issue orders for relieving for all SDEs under transfer. But he did not act as he was controlled by black magic and gave time for this officer and his god fathers to approach a “Bangalee Baba” for illegal favor and same is highly successful as under tremendous pressure of said “Baba” and when none of officer was present in the office, the transfer order on pick and choose basis was issued without any formal approval in file and uploaded on MH Intranet in lightening speed.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 The biased approach of CGMT MH is visible from the facts that in so many cases when everything is available in file and some 2-3 pages of note sheet making issues & facts clear are not sufficient for him to understand issue and take decision and he returns files with remark “Please discuss” or “put up with some additional details”. This funda is applied by CGMT MH in file being repeatedly processed for reliving of Com. V.P. Kulkarni CS AIBSNLEA MH for last six months on basis of longest stayed DE in Maharashtra Circle with about 29 years stay in Nashik SSA. But till today CGMT MH has not taken any concrete decision when file has been rightly processed about misuse of immunity continuously for more than five years by Com. V.P.Kulkarni CS AIBSNLEA MH.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 But in present case of reliving Com. B.D. Gaikar, without seeing file and any note sheet and without ascertaining facts, Shri. M.K. Jain CGMT MH selected name of Com.B.D.Gaikar, SDE under transfer on long stay criteria, send by name sms to Sr GM HR/Admn and in lightening speed his orders are issued. We all know that Shri. M.K. Jain CGMT MH is highly intelligent, knows each and every subject, officers in Maharashtra Circle and we were till not having any idea about his memory power about remembering single name out of 10 officers that to be of level of SDEs which are not directly related to CGMT.  This is just amazing and nothing less than miracle.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 It is understood that on receipt of this order GMT Nashik also has taken fast decision and order for relieving of Com. B.D.Gaikar SDE to ITPC Pune has been processed in files by Nashik SSA. Now it is only black magic which works, otherwise Shri. Suresh Babu Prajapati GMT Nashik, who has not taken any decision for last seven months on relieving of Com.B.D.Gaikar on long stay transfer from Nashik to Jalgaon, is forced to take action in lightening speed for relieving of Com.B.D.Gaikar SDE and DS AIBSNLEA Nashik by forgetting his need for association activities as claimed for immunity from Nashik to ITPC.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Now, it is well known that the persons who offers black magic charges heavy money from the person trapped and we have doubt that in this official BLACK MAGIC also strong dose of Money has been applied which has forced all officers to work in lightening speed and when entire officers were on leave.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 By taking note of such illegal and biased orders, when we have contacted all concerned officers in chain and found that many of them were not aware about this transfer order as they were on leave but this sms action was confirmed by CGMT MH & Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 SNEA (I) Maharashtra registered strong protest over such pick and choose policy adopted only for leaders of AIBSNLEA neglected members of AIBSNLEA as well as AIBSNLEA and informed him that SNEA (I) will not tolerate injustice and demands for equal treatment for all executives in entire Maharashtra Circle. 

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 We have made it clear to CGMT MH that he is doing undue and illegal and adopting unethical method just to favor  Com. B.D. Gaikar, DS AIBSNLEA and Com. V.P.Kulkarni CS AIBSNLEA who are applying different “Funda” for avoiding long stay transfers for years together and as CGMT MH he is supporting.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Shri. M.K.Jain, CGMT MH informed us that there noting wrong done by him but it was pressure from BSNL CO to relive some officers to ITPC Pune, and hence he has sent sms directions to GM HR/Admn to relive Com. Gaikar. When we have questioned why only Com. Gaikar is relieved on pick and choose basis and what about others, he was pleading that all others are from Pune and he has taken decision to relive only Com. Gaikar as he is ready to go ITPC. This important that hundreds of SDEs and JTOs have submitted willingness to ITPC Pune at Own cost and our CGMT MH is ready to relive only Com. Gaikar who long stayed officer and that to the cost of BSNL as this order to IPC Pune is in the interest of service.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 We questioned what made him to issue sms while he is on leave, he informed that it is nothing like leave he is taking care of issues during leave also. Then we have brought to his notice why he has not applied any such action for others cases including one female SDE who is being harassed by his office on name of complaint by Com.V.P.Kulkarni CS AIBSNLEA and her salary is stopped for last three months even though she was working in office and she had personally met to him as CGMT MH and while he was in office and it was quiet possible for him to take decision on such genuine matter created by himself by writing internal note on such complaint, CGMT MH was not having any answer and diverted issue by quoting some other names of such request for retention up to 31/03/2014.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 We made it further clear that SNEA (I) MH has no objection for such orders of long stayed officers if it is equally applied for all executives who are under long stay transfers and requested CGMT MH to cancel all such orders under long stay and at the same time relieve all officers under request transfer without waiting for substitute as done for the officers for whom Com. B.D. Gaikar and Com.V.P. Kulkarni are substitutes are relived without waiting for substitute. But without assuring any such action he assured to discuss the issue and review the matter as he is joining office today.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Shri. Pravin Malhitra, Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai informed that he has always supported for legal methods and in this case he has just forwarded sms instructions of his boss and same has acted and single order is issued.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Comrades, all these facts prevails that now no one will be transferred on basis of long stay and SNEA (I) MH is searching out the procedures and guidelines of this “Black Magic” and will inform members under transfer on long stay accordingly and they also can adopt such fundas and avoid transfers under long stay and please do not worry the charges of black Magic which may be just in multiples of your monthly Salary.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 At this stage we all should be happy to know that there is way to avoid long stay transfers and this black magic works on CGMT MH not only while he or his officers are on duty, but it works while entire officers are on leave and hence very effective .               

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 We have no doubt Comrades about corrective action by Shri. M.K. Jain CGMT MH, as some such orders were issued in recent past but when the issues were brought to notice of Shri. M.K. Jain CGMT MH, he has taken review on the basis of feedback given by SNEA(I) MH and in this case also it quite possible that BSNL rules will be followed and order on pick and choose basis and overruling long stay criteria will be cancelled.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 No doubt here also positive & corrective action is taken as it is understood that in this case also verbal instructions are issued after office hours for not implementation of this order and hope fully this verbal order will be converted in written order today and matter will be reviewed as fresh and SNEA (I) MH is ready for any discussions on this subject and we will stand with our demand for equal treatment for all executives and will oppose biased approach only in certain cases.    

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 SNEA (I) MH will meet Shri. M.K. Jain, CGMT MH today and again register protest & put forth anguish among the executives in Maharashtra Circle along with all facts , figures and documents on such biased and illegal methods adopted by some leaders and its support by some of officers in Circle Management.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Unfortunately these are the same leaders who have agreed for uniform Transfer Policy for all executives proposed by same Circle Management also and these leaders have been mute spectators when common members were transferred and have become super active when their turn comes under same policy of long stay and unfortunately very intelligent, the officer having through knowledge of rules and regulations, who knows every issue to depth like Shri. M.K. Jain is made to work and act in such illegal way and while he was on LTC leave and only hence comrades, we have to believe this “Black Magic”.

 

30 DEC 14: BSNL CO issued reminder for sending VCRs, APRs & Assessment Reports for SDE Reg DPC under 67% Seniority cum Fitness Quota and now issued time schedule for submitting Screening Committee Reports and APRs. Letter <<<>>>

    It is good news for Maharashtra Comrades that with prompt & timely action by officers in Establishment Section and with keen persuasion by District Secretaries & Circle Office Bearers of SNEA (I) Maharashtra, all the APRs & VCRs were received in time by Circle Office from all SSAs and entire information of Maharashtra Circle i.e. VCRs and Assessment Sheet for this DPC has been sent to BSNL CO by speed post as well as by email on 26/12/2014 itself. Now Maharashtra Circle is ready to handover the hard copies of APRs & Assessment Sheet at any time. But unfortunately in this schedule Maharashtra Circle is given slot on last day i.e. on 28/01/2014, after period of more than one month. Further, on the same day, many of the major Circles have been given time slot which may create heavy rush in single and being last day. SNEA (I) MH will take up matter for allotment of early time slot/schedule for submission of hard copies of this information by Maharashtra Circle.   

 

29 DEC 14: Cheating on name & fame of BSNL continues now on name of Recruitment of “Telecom Assistants” in BSNL call centres: The fraudulent persons continue to cheat public by using name and fame of BSNL. Earlier these culprits have targeted Doctors on name of Medical treatments of BSNL employees and benefits to their hospitals, then to landlords for leasing out land for constructions of BSNL towers and now on name of recruitment of TTAs in BSNL.   Bogus Appointment letter <<<>>> 

·        These culprits apply one after other ideas for cheating public by using name & fame of BSNL and trapping innocents in their net.

·        In this new concept, the needy persons are being trapped with such bogus calls on some known information of BSNL and here also same method may be used by bogus issuing call letters even on letter pad of BSNL with stamp & signature and post of Dy GM Pers Delhi

·        In an appointment letter dated 18/12/2014 issued to one Mr. Akash Meshram, directly on name of Dy General Manager Personal BSNL without name but with Signature, Stamp & bogus Office Address at D-27, Connaught Place, Inner Circle, New Delhi it is informed that the person will be recruited on permanent post of Telecom Assistant and it is informed that person appointed will be provided laptop, Mobile Handset with sim card and dress code. To go ahead with job one has to undergo 25 days training and thereafter joining letter will be issued and for joining one has to deposit Rs. 5800 as Security deposit and it is assured that this amount will be refunded after completion of said 25 days training.

·        It is specifically stressed that security deposit is to be deposited in Bank Account of BSNL on name of authorised Financer Officer of BSNL. This letter assures for different existing and non existence allowances and insurances to recruited person. 

·        It is important that name of BSNL is misused for cheating public openly and unfortunately no action is taken for any misuse by BSNL authorities at any level. There needs to be have special unit to keep watch on such misuse of BSNL name and authority and stop harassment & cheating of public, unfortunately nothing is seen for last 4-5 years and culprits use to trap & cheat innocent public on name of BSNL, thereby spoiling image of BSNL.  

·        If we look at small advertisements in many of the newspapers it is seen that there are many works and vacancies in BSNL, but unfortunately BSNL management does not know about it. 

·        In earlier occasions also SNEA(I) has taken initiatives against such cheatings and our comrades of SNEA(I) Kalyan have played vital role in stopping such cheating of doctors by culprits and by action of alerts comrades one person was arrested and since then the cheating of doctors has been reduced rather stopped at least in Maharashtra Circle.

·        But thereafter funda of leasing private land was raised and call centre same was also raised & defeated by SNEA (I) by directly calling concerned phone numbers and making them clear that such bogus letters have been taken note seriously and they will have to face action for such misleading and cheating ideas and since then we have not received much complaints on leasing out land for BSNL.

·        In present case also we have called on the said numbers and at first instance it was informed that one urgent meeting is going on and please call after half an hour. When we called after half an hour, both the numbers are no reply and till now the numbers are not being replied.

·        All these facts confirm that this entire matter is cheating idea on name & fame of BSNL.

·        We have brought the facts to notice of concerned officers in BSNL and let us hope that serious note of this crime is taken by someone in BSNL at competent position and action is taken against misuse of BSNL name, fame, letter pad, logo and fraudulent signatures which are crimes in eyes of law. 

·        Only positive we employees and executives of BSNL can take from this is that the value, prestige & importance of BSNL till continues and note that if  many of the culprits are able to earn lakhs & Crores of rupees just by using name of BSNL, many of the vendors and partners of BSNL are earning Crores from and on name of BSNL and we the permanent stakeholders of BSNL should understand the values of services and job we own  and devote more on BSNL works as we have got best opportunity to serve in this company, owned by Govt of India.

·        All comrades are requested to take note of it and take timely care by bringing awareness among the general public, friends & relatives so that no one comes in trap of such culprits and be part to stop misuse of name of BSNL by best possible ways.

Ř                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              SDE Regular Promotions under 67% Seniority cum Fitness quota: We brought to his notice the unrest among the executives on over delayed SDE Regular promotions under 67% Seniority Cum Fitness quota, he informed that his office is ready for issuing orders except some pending cases of APRs & VCs and on verdict & clearance from Hon. Ernakulum Court, his office will take immediate steps to issue the promotion orders from JTO to SDE.

Ř                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Status of Different Court cases and action by BSNL CO: He also discussed the persuasion of court cases by BSNL Corporate Office and problems faced in dealing repeated court cases on different HR issues. He added that BSNL CO has received directions from DoT to file review in Hon. Supreme Court in seniority case for list No. 6 & 7 on merit of case and steps are being initiated in this direction. During discussions, he added that in notional fixation case demand for fixation from cumulative effect and arrears thereof was the main issues causing financial bourdon n BSNL. We also discussed the issues due seniority case and confusion among the comrades, wherein he made it clear that this verdict has created impact on overall promotions in BSNL and necessary steps are being taken by his office to streamline issues, but it will take much time to settle entire issues.

Ř                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Recruitment of TTAs & JTOs in BSNL & Special Recruitment for Hard tenure stations: We further discussed about recruitment of JTOs & TTAs in BSNL and he informed that there is need of JTOs & TTAs and same is being taken care by Establishment section and he is not having much update on this subject. We have brought to his notice about the huge & repetitive expenditure being made by BSNL on frequent transfers and mainly on transfers to Far Off Tenure places and need on part of BSNL to have special recruitment for Tenure Areas.  He agreed with heavy expenditure being made on chain of transfers to tenure stations, but expressed his inability to overcome this expenditure as manpower is required to maintain services all over India. He also added that his office cannot restrict and limit recruitments for specific area as JTO is Circle cadre and same is not possible in TTA cadre as recruitment is always open for locals as well as persons from other areas. He also mentioned that present guidelines of BSNL in restricting transfers out of Tenure Circle are more than sufficient to meet requirement at shortage places as well as Tenure places, but many of executives are creating pressure for premature transfers on name of Temporary Transfers and hence the repeated transfers are involved. He further agreed that recruitment of TTAs locally will solve shortage of manpower to certain extent.

Ř                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Standard Pay Scales & 30% Superannuation benefits: When we raised the issues about Standard Pay scales and 30 % superannuation befits, he informed that till there are much hurdles on settlement of both the important HR issues including merger of BSNL and MTNL where is pay difference exists and in merger of issue itself has much more angles. He made it clear that certain decesions are dependent on prevailing conditions and E1A & E2A scales were also part of such strategies & best options of the time, but over the period it has created issues which needs to be addressed and temporary majors of five increment has given some relief but there is need of final solution on this subject. About 30% superannuation befits, he informed that he is not having much updates as said issue is being taken care by other units, but agreed that both the issues needs to be resolved for smooth resolutions of HR issues and BSNL is step by step moving towards the resolution of issues and with discussions are going on with Forum of Associations in BSNL.

Ř                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              First Time Bound Promotion equally in Four Years for all Executives: We have brought to his notice about the unrest among the executives specifically recruited in year 1993-94 and how they are victim of conflicts and different stand taken by BSNL on implementation of first Time Bound promotion in Four Years. Responding it, Shri. Agarwal informed that there is no such proposal as on today and it is not possible to implement it. We then brought to his notice how seniors are already benefitted with first TBP in four years and juniors also benefitted after Pay revision and only lot of 3 to 4 thousand executives specially then JTOs are deprived due to condition of touching upper scale or Six years service and how it is matter of just one increment for one or maximum two years. We narrated the unrest among the executives as many of them are drawing less salary than juniors and stressed upon to settle this issue as Hon. Court also has given directions to bring uniformity in First TBP for all executives. GM Pers assured to look into issues.       

Ř                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              DE Regular Promotions and disturbance to executives in Maharashtra Circle: We have brought to his notice injustice made to Maharashtra Circle & executives working thereof in DE Regular promotions and posting wherein 40 DEs are transferred out of Maharashtra Circle when 176 post of DEs are vacant in Maharashtra Circle itself and more than 35 post of DEs are vacant in Non recruiting Circle in territory of Maharashtra Circle. He confirmed that there was wrong calculation in DE Vacancy in Maharashtra Circle at earlier stage and GS SNEA(I) CHQ has brought it to notice of his office and by the time matter was finalized, many of DEs under transfer on promotion have joined new assignment. He further added that this time many of the comrades have joined under fear of TBP date as on 01/10/2014 and hence it was difficult to make changes partially making difference between juniors and seniors and to avoid conflict & complaints, his office has taken decision not to incorporate change in posting of DEs Regular posted out of Maharashtra Circle except few genuine cases.

ü                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              We categorically informed him that there was much need of DEs in Maharashtra Circle, the most developing Circle  in comparison with Odisha Circle as all transferred officers were working as DE L/A for long time. Our request was strongly supported by Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai stating that there is acute shortage of DEs in Maharashtra Circle and many of SSAs are without single DE Regular. On the contrary all DEs transferred to Circles like Odisha are not having justified work as given works in sharing load with earlier DEs. It has created conflict as many of DEs working in L/A arrangements for years together have faced reversion in said circles creating humiliating situation for officers working as DE L/A for years together. We made it clear that Odisha Circle was not in need of this much DEs and same has been confirmed by CS SNEA (I) Odessa and many of the senior officers in Odessa Circle as on joining of news DEs, the work of earlier DEs have been divided among them and it is under utilization of manpower that to be at such higher level posts. He informed that his office is unaware of such under utilization and assured to review & look into matter and to take care of such issues in further promotions.

ü                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              We brought to his notice about grievances & problems being faced by DEs posted out of Maharashtra Circle at Far off places, he assured that all those who have respected orders issued by BSNL CO and joined at transferred places, will be brought back to their parent Circles after completion of two years period and till time they will have to fully devote to the present assignments.

Ř                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Pick & Choose posting to ITPC Pune and unrest among Maharashtra Executives: We have brought to his notice  about the unrest among the comrades in Maharashtra Circle due to biased approach first by office of CGM ITPC Pune and its blind support by BSNL CO wherein transfer orders are issued on pick and choose basis. We brought to his notice that the letters calling for willingness for ITPC have clearly mentioned that the officers under long stay transfers will not be considered for posting to ITPC Pune and while orders are issued for ITPC Pune, many of the officers under long stay transfers are part of this transfer order. GM Pers informed that his office has issued orders purely on recommendation of office of CGM ITPC Pune and nothing has been done on part BSNL CO except confirmation of names for out of Circle transfers. He further added that ITPC Pune had sent three different letters of such recommendations and mainly on basis of recommendations in first list order were issued. We made it clear that how it was pick and choose basis and how it has given scope for malpractices in such recommendation list in breaks & three parts by ITPC Pune and quoted many of examples. Shri. Pravin Malhotra Sr GM HR & Admn Mumbai also added that many of the officers in long stay list are included in this order. He further informed that Maharashtra Circle is facing acute shortage of SDEs and it is not possible to relive SDEs from Maharashtra Circle and as ITPC serves for entire west Zone executives should be deputed to ITPC from entire West Zone. Sr GM Pers stressed upon need of executives at ITPC as many of the works are being centralized at ITPC due to CDR & ERP. We have made it clear that SNEA (I) has no objection on posting to ITPC, but basic guidelines should have been followed and equal opportunity should be officers who have applied well within time and were waiting for administrative procedure and recommendations of Maharashtra Circle are kept in dark as none of application is recommended by Maharashtra Circle and are still pending as strategic decision to recommend the cases to other circles. Sr GM Pers informed that his office has considered cases on the basis of recommendation of Maharashtra Circle and special letters giving list of officers recommended by ITPC were written by BSNL CO to CGMT MH Circle for same. Sr GM HR/A Mumbai confirmed that none of letter has received by MH Circle before issuing any orders and directly orders for ITPC Pune have came to his office. Thus we were successful in establishing facts that there was pick and choose method adopted in posting to ITPC and stressed on review of the posting. After understanding facts and real issues, Shri. Agarwal assured to review the orders a fresh and assured that names of long stayed officers will be excluded from the transfer orders. He also requested to give brief note on this subject giving the facts so that issues can be resolved.

Ř                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              All India Hard Tenure for Gadchiroli SSA: We put forward the problems faced by our executives working in Gadchiroli District and how the executives completing Circle Tenure at this most difficult station of Maharashtra Circle are made to repeat again for All India tenure thus making it of total tenure of four to five years. We informed that Maharashtra Circle has originally sent proposal for hard tenure of Gadchiroli District and it was on part of BSNL CO that it was declared as All India Soft tenure instead of All India Hard tenure. Shri. Agarwal asked what is status by Government departments, Shri Malhotra Sr GM Personal informed that it is not All India Tenure for Central Government, but added that for BSNL conditions at Gadchiroli are difficult and our executives are facing real problems and in some cases problems are more than the Hard tenure stations. After details discussions, Shri. Agarwal assured that on return to Delhi, he will look into Hard Tenure issue of Gadchiroli SSA and see how can be executives at Gadchiroli are given some relief from present conditions.

Agarwal asked about HR issues of Maharashtra Circle, we have informed him that in Maharashtra Circle we have no pending issues as his office has posted best Officer like Shri. Pravin Malhotra, as Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai who is taking care of all issues by amicable solutions and in better interest of employees as well as BSNL and same are supported by Shri. M. K. Jain, CGMT MH and added that we have no pending issues except time taken in settlement of issues but for us overall results are very fruitful. We conveyed him & his office thanks for posting both the HR officers of Maharashtra Circle with positive approach and having concern for problems of executives. He added that he is aware about approach of Shri. Malhotra and his excellence in dealing with HR issues. He also added that for many of the cases Shri. Malhotra directly speaks to him for resolutions of issues and his office also take due note of suggestions and requests from him.

23 DEC 14: AGM M&S CFA Mumbai endorsed the letter issued by BSNL CO for revision of landline & CDMA Pulse rate w.e.f. 01/01/2015.  Letter <<<>>>

          It is most unfortunate that while there is no change in calls to be made to network of other Private Operators, there is increase by 33.33 % in call rates  which will be made to BSNLs own network  and there will be increase by 50% on calls to be made from BSNLT to MTNL Mumbai& Delhi Network. This is how our authorities at BSNL are away from the actual requirement of the landline customers. It is fact that many of the BSNL landline customers are surrendering landline mainly due to heavy rental and now this increase in call rates on its own network will not benefit BSNL but it will have reverse effect and there will be many fold impact increasing number of landline & CDMA surrender cases. From such decesions, it is seen that BSNL management has decided to close its own and basic services on which Crores of rupees have been invested by BSNL & now investing by adding NGN switches with expenditure of hundreds of Crores. This is really serious matter and SNEA (I) MH will take up this matter with concerned authorities.

          All District Secretaries, Circle office Bearers, Activists, Officers & Staff can send their views & comments with details to Com. S.R.Kalmegh ACS (East) SNEA (I) MH by email acsesneamh@gmail.com or sms/call on Mobile No. 9422857071.    

 

22 DEC 14: Complete collapse of Regulatory Mechanism in BSNL deliberately engineered and carefully planned by top BSNL Management to facilitate private operators squeeze and wreck havoc with resources of BSNL. Allowing private operators to have cake walk in 3 G ICR case in Supreme Court classic instance of BSNL Management compromising legitimate business interests of the Company at a time when it is profusely bleeding:
The move to systematically demolish a once robust regulatory mechanism in BSNL started nearly four years before and today it is non- existent. Systematically demolishing Regulatory Mechanism of such a gigantic telecom company was a well calculated and planned strategy of top BSNL Management with ulterior and dubious motives to allow private operators to have a free ground vis-a-vis eating into the revenues of BSNL and they have succeeded in their sinister designs. Regulatory mechanisms are today the nerve centres of telecom service providers and BSNL is having nothing such as regulation today. Nothing means really nothing. This deserves strongest condemnation of BSNL Management for allowing continuance of a situation where private operators have a free and unhindered walk by eating into the vitals of the Company and are allowed to jeopardize   legitimate business interests of the Company wilfully. These are the credentials of BSNL Management. What a pity. How management is directly contributing deliberately towards disaster of the Company.

Director (CM)/BSNL must and has to own total responsibility and must be taken to severe task for serious, unpardonable and deliberate lapse of allowing Private Operators to have a free run in 3G ICR case in Supreme Court Vis-a-Vis BSNL: Since 90% of the regulatory issues relate to wireless segment of the business, Director(CM), with nearly more than a one and a half year in the saddle now, should have taken immediate action to ensure that a robust and vibrant regulatory mechanism is put in place. Despite persistent pleadings by this Association to take immediate action to have a robust regulatory mechanism in place, Director (CM) took just no action and the result of all this was that BSNL was not represented in the Supreme Court recently in the most important case of 3G ICR case recently and obviously Supreme Court did not stay the order of TDSAT to allow private operators to roam in 3G segment through illegitimate ICR pacts. Who pays for the massive losses that BSNL is suffering from in 3G segment because of cartelization by Vodafone, Idea and Airtel?  We have good reasons to conclude that top BSNL Management has been part and parcel of facilitating this cartelization and allowing private operators to encroach upon 3G business of BSNL through illegitimate ICR pacts and eat into resources of BSNL. From the discussions with top management of BSNL, it appears as if this is not even an issue for them. We did not expect action from previous Director (CM) for very obvious reasons, but new Director (CM) on whom huge expectations hinged has disappointed and betrayed the trust of the Company by allowing its interests to be compromised. Will Director (CM), instead of acting in a bureaucratic way, be proactive, tough and take actions on the ground that lead to tangible results. It is high time for young Director (CM) to introspect and initiate serious and meaningful initiatives that restore his credibility. Director (CM) should be conscious of the fact that for the first time potential wireless segment of the Company has gone into the red and he has to own up responsibility and must be held accountable for this debacle. 

The beginning of all this should be to immediately have a very strong, lively and vibrant Regulatory Mechanism in the Company where people having complete knowledge of very complex issues relating to telecom policy regimes, networking, regulatory policy frameworks, IUC, telecom traffic flows, tariff structures are posted. Let the present mechanism which is non- existent be done away with as quickly as possible. Heads would have rolled over for such a lapse in a private enterprise.

 

22 DEC 14: Meeting with CMD / BSNL: CHQ president, AGS, Com Dahiya, CS/TN and CS/BSNL CO met CMD on 19-12-2014 and conveyed strongest resentment of the Association because of deliberate failure of BSNL Management to let allow private operators to have a free go in the Supreme Court in the 3G ICR case since BSNL was not represented and naturally Supreme Court did not stay the operation of TDSAT judgement to allow private operators to offer 3G services through illegitimate ICR pacts. Even though DOT pleaded for interim injunction on the operation of the TDSAT Judgement, but it did not cut much ice with the Court since 3G business of BSNL is adversely impacted through such illegitimate policy breaches. This plea cannot be put forth by DOT since it is a licensor/policy enforcer and it has to restrict its arguments to policy breaches. BSNLs 3G business is impacted and violation of this breach of policy is affecting 3G business of BSNL only. BSNL had exclusive locus standi to pitch this argument but since it was not represented, Supreme Court did not stay order of TDSAT and private operators had naturally a free run which was facilitated by BSNL Management, we informed CMD.

          We also informed CMD that critical Regulatory Mechanism in BSNL is collapsed and is non-existent today. Immediate action needs to be taken to put in place a very robust and lively Regulatory Mechanism to take care of critical and very intricate regulatory issues which have become extremely significant and relevant in present day telecom scenario, we urged upon CMD. It is really very sad and unfortunate that BSNL, which once had a very tough and viable regulatory mechanism to defend its interests in various Courts, today has nothing like regulation, we apprised CMD. CMD assured that he would act immediately on this important issue.

 

22 DEC 14: Meeting with Director (CM): CHQ president, AGS Com Dahiya, CS/TN and CS/BSNL CO met Director (CM) on 19-12-2014 and conveyed to him also serious resentment of the Association over the lapse of BSNL Management in not defending 3G ICR case in Supreme Court and thereby allowing private operators to have their way on such an important issue. We reminded Director (CM) that, since 90% of the regulatory issues pertain to CM wing, it was prime responsibility of Director (CM) to ensure that a very robust regulatory mechanism exists to defend policy and regulatory issues in various courts. We also reminded him that on several occasions in the past, this Association requested his intervention on this important issue but nothing really happened.

Finally, we once again urged upon him to take action on war footing to put in place a very formidable and sound Regulatory Mechanism in the Company since more than 90% of regulatory issues relate to wireless segment. We also suggested that Regulatory wing of BSNL should be under direct control of Director (CM). We were assured of a very quick response.

·        CS explained the house the hurdles created by CS AIBSNLEA MH in consideration of request transfers from Kalyan to Circle office by raising misleading concept of MMRDA targeting disturbance to executives working in Kalyan SSA, Raigad SSA & Circle Office Mumbai as majority of executives in all three units are members of SNEA(I) . CS categorically mentioned the negative attitude on part of AIBSNLEA MH as such demand if accepted by management would have affected many of the Account Wing Officers who are presently members of  AIBSNLEA and are breaking their tenures by such transfers. CS informed how SNEA (I) MH has defeated this sinister idea & illegal demand by CS AIBSNLEA in support of some of officers in Circle management. He also informed the house about the reasons in delay in considering request transfers to Circle office Mumbai and how visit of group of 3-4 executives to then DGM HR/Admn has created big hurdle and stalemate in overall process.  He assured house that this issue is on top priority of SNEA (I) MH and matter will be resolved as per Uniform Policy prepared by Maharashtra Circle for dealing with inter SSA transfers and very shortly matter will be resolved. But it will not be mass transfers and orders may be issued on the basis of maximum 10 % criteria as referred in transfer policy. He appealed comrades not to come in trap of some of comrades spreading rumors on this subject under frustration and be firm on their requests and withdraw if they really do not need transfers to Circle office Mumbai.  

·        CS approached efforts taken by Shri. D. G. Kulkarni as GMT Kalyan and informed that such sincere efforts were never seen by any of the SSA Head in recent past. He appreciated his devotion and dedication towards the resolutions of issues to majority extent and sometimes the decision process is held up due to misleading information by some individuals.

·        By quoting classic example of manmade hurdles in Mohan Puram new Exchange proposal for newly developed Kat rap Area of Badalapur City   wherein BSNL is likely to get more than 1000 connections that to in a free accommodation being provided by landlord with internal wiring and inbuilt ducting for cables and BSNL can easily grab this business with minimum expenditure and with available resources and how entire matter was kept on hold for last two years by misleading information in files by SDE Planning and IFA Kalyan and how after intervention of SNEA(I) matter has been resolved and given proper direction. He also expressed displeasure that even after clear signal from Circle Office, till said officers are threatening for Vigilance cases and till GMT Com. Kulkarni and his some officers are under such trap of fear tactics created by own officers of BSNL. He appealed Com. Kulkarni to take tough stand and proceed further without any fear in mind and SNEA (I) will support all such positive issues for growth of BSNL.

·        He further appealed to Com. D.G. Kulkarni to overcome manmade hurdles in fearless manner and till he has some fear mind then he can opt membership of SNEA (I) and assured that SNEA (I) will take care of all such issues and fears created by individuals as SNEA (I) has tradition to deal with such anti BSNL peoples & safeguarding interest of its members who are working for BSNL. He made it clear that acceptance of membership is individual’s choice and regardless of membership SNEA (I) will continue with its support in all development works of BSNL Kalyan.

20 DEC 14: Contempt case relating to repatriation ITS in Hon'ble HC of Delhi: DOT came under scathing fire from Hon'ble HC of Delhi for its blatant and deliberate violation of the Judgement of Hon’ble High Court regarding repatriation of ITS. Hon’ble HC severely reprimanded and came down heavily on the counsel appearing for DOT for its naked manipulations in implementing the judgement of HC.

Hon’ble Court, short of passing a formal order for breach and contempt of its Judgement delivered by Hon’ble High Court in March, 2012 regarding repatriation of ITS, came very close to terming the actions of DOT as amounting to contempt of Court. At one point of time, the Hon’ble bench asked DOTs counsel to immediately and personally summon Secy/DOT to the Court to explain the conduct and actions of DOT in completely breaching implementation of the Judgement of the Court and persistently misleading the Court regarding its implementation.

However, after painstaking pleadings and explanation by DOTs counsel and his assurances to the Hon’ble Court that necessary corrective actions would be initiated towards implementation of the judgement in letter and spirit, the matter was posted to 5th March, 2015. What is extremely important is that Hon’ble High Court felt completely convinced and satisfied, after detailed arguments by counsel of SNEA (I) that DOT has perpetrated clear breach of Judgement amounting to contempt. The stand of this Association towards ITS repatriation is undoubtedly getting vindicated.

13 DEC 14: Meeting with CMD/BSNL:  CHQ President along with both AGSs met CMD and apprised him in detail on the need of BSNL to get impleaded in Supreme Court on 3G ICR roaming issue on which Supreme Court has admitted SLP of DOT and issued notices to Airtel, Vodafone and Idea. We reminded CMD that SNEA took the first step of filing a writ petition in Delhi High court in Nov 2010 challenging 3G ICR roaming pacts on the ground that such illegitimate pacts were forbidden by policy and directly jeopardized business interests of BSNL in 3G segment. Only after WP of SNEA was admitted by Delhi High Court and notices were issued to DOT by High Court did DOT issue notices to Airtel, Vodafone and Idea asking them to stop providing of 3G services in areas where they did not have spectrum and license through illegal ICR roaming pacts. We informed CMD that BSNL should get impleaded in the case now in Supreme Court to defend its 3G business interests which were encroached upon illegitimately by Airtel, Vodafone and Idea through ICR pacts and seek appropriate compensation for huge losses that 3G business of BSNL suffered due to such illegitimate 3G pacts and breach of policy. We also apprised CMD that DOT would only seek imposition of penalties on Airtel, Vodafone and Idea because of blatant breach of policy and will not raise the issue of huge losses suffered by BSNL. The issues of losses suffered by BSNL because of breach of policy would have to quantified and raised by BSNL only. After detailed discussion, CMD, while appreciating our concern and stand, asked us to have further discussions with Director (CM) regarding BSNL getting impleaded in Supreme Court. However, Association is seriously considering of getting impleaded in Supreme Court in SLP filed by DOT challenging judgment of TDSAT allowing providing of 3G services through ICR pacts.

 

13 DEC 14: Meeting with Member Services/DOT: CHQ President along with both AGSs met M(S)/DoT and apprised him in detail on the issue of pension contribution by BSNL to Govt. M(S) was informed that BSNL in accordance to the orders of DOP&T needs to pay pension contribution to Govt. on actual basic pay, not on maximum of scale. In this connection, we cited the letter of DOP&T addressed to GS/SNEA (I) wherein it is adequately clarified by DOP&T that BSNL must pay pension contribution on actual basic as is being done by other Central Govt. Departments. We informed M(S) of our discussions with concerned officers in DOP&T and DOP&PW on this issue and their stand that BSNL like other Central Govt. Departments has to pay pension contribution on actual basic instead of on maximum of scale as is being done as of now. We requested M(S) of his intervention in sending the issue to DOP&T to obtain their views. M(S), while stating that he was not aware of the issue, assured that he would examine the issue and take further action.

 

13 DEC 14: Meeting with Member(Finance)/DOT: CHQ President and both the AGSs have had very heated exchange of views with M(F)/DOT on the issue of pension contribution by BSNL on actual basic, instead of on maximum that BSNL is being forced to pay by DOT. We told M (F) in very clear terms that this Association completely disagrees with her perception that BSNL make pension contribution on maximum of scale. The stand of DOT in forcing BSNL to make pension contribution on maximum of scale is arbitrary and in total contravention of letter written by DOP&T to GS/SNEA (I). We also informed M (F) about the positive stand of the concerned officers in DOP&T on the issue and their concrete assurances that once the matter is referred to DOP&T by DOT, DOP&T would take a very positive view in keeping with its orders of 2009. 
However, M (F) maintained that unless DOP&T directly conveys to DOT its stand on pension contribution by BSNL, DOT would not take further action and refer the matter to DOP&T for further clarification. However, after further discussions, M (F) finally agreed to consider referring the matter to DOP&T for further clarification if the issue is referred to DOT by BSNL management.   

 

13 DEC 14: In a letter addressed to Circle Heads, BSNL CO clarified that employees joined after 31/07/2014 are not covered under GSLI and instructed not to recover GSLI subscription from salary of employees joined after 31/07/2014 till further instructions on this subject.. Letter <<<>>>

10 DEC 14: Calling special willingness from TTAs, JTOs & SDES working in entire Maharashtra Circle for Pune Mobile on basis of own cost deputation: In special letter addressed to SSA Heads, DGM HR/Admn Mumbai  calls for willingness from TTAs, JTO & SDEs for own cost deputation to Pune Mobile for rollout of Phase VII GSM at Pune.  Letter <<<>>>

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Please do not surprise for such special willingness with facts that in Pune SSA is having working strength of 276 TTAs, 191 JTOs, 269 SDEs, 40 DEs, 14 DGMs & 5 GMs is rightly and readily working & available at Pune and many of them are specialized in Mobile working and till today services of none of them are directly utilized as this is turnkey project.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 It seems that work force of 795 officer rightly available in Pune itself is not sufficient strength for Phase VII rollout work for installation of 420 number of 3G BTS (Node B) by replacing old BTS in Pune when Node B installation is completed for 90 sites and sites are being made ready @ 7 to 8 sites per day and at this speed entire work will be completed within one month.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 We have confirmed facts that practically there is no scope for BSNL officers other than co-ordination as it is turnkey project meaning that entire activities including documentation is to be done by vendor and BSNL has to pay for all such works on  the bills raised by vendor.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Even works of removal of Hardware of existing BTS is to be done by vendor and its monitoring is to be done by BSNL for redeployment at different SSAs for which separate tender is being floated by BSNL. 

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 It may be facts that all there 795 officers presently working in Pune are not having adequate knowledge of GSM works to level of expectations of DGM HR/Admn Mumbai or all are incompetent to work for this special work as desired by DGM HR/Admn or his bosses in Circle Office Mumbai.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 This is first letter of such type calling willingness for any station issued directly with signature of DGM HR/Admn Mumbai may be due to the fact that earlier AGM Staff Mumbai is now functioning as DGM HR/Admn and continues with habit of signature on such letters normally signed by AGM Staff Mumbai or may be it really a special letter.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Even though it is special letter, please neglect clerical mistake in date of the letter.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 If it was real requirement and need to complete installation of GSM BTS (Node B) Installation work under Phase VII rollout project, DGM HR/Admn Mumbai should have issued orders of specific , intelligent & eligible officers by method of selection on the basis of work experience and with TA/DA and not at all own cost.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 But this special letter gives full scope to our doubt at this stage that to manage someone’s deputation to Pune DGM HR/Admn Mumbai has taken such backdoor action but do not worry as now this opportunity is open for all and  doors of Pune are opened to all comrades including TTAs willing for transfer or to have  at Pune.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 It is evident from the letter that idea of management is not clear as intentionally total number of TTAs, JTOs or SDEs to be deputed is not declared by keeping ball in their own court to depute as many as officers till the turn of desired person for deputation to Pune did not come.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 If such intelligent and positive attitude was used in any other works for revenue & Development of BSNL at earlier stage, then there would not have been any need of such deputation to Pune when hundreds of executives are available in Pune & some of them have already submitted their willingness for same and management has full power to use their services at Pune itself.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 It is shameful that ‘n’ of such willingness are pending in office of DGM HR/Admn Mumbai and none of such request is considered for last three months may be due to fact that VIPs to be deputed to Pune are not covered under this list.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 This will be at own cost deputation for three months which can be extended up to 31/03/2015. It has been specifically mentioned that officer should have specific background of GSM Network and it definitely does not mean that working in Mobile section for administrative works, but all such officers can apply as finally chance of such officer is more as technical part will be taken care by vendor M/S ZTE as it is turnkey project and only person eligible to manage anything is having full scope in completion of remaining part of Phase VII rollout including passing bills of vendor.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Only condition is to manage your own SSA Head/Controlling Officers to relive without substitute as in this cases chances are more to officers who manage their SSA Heads/Controlling Officers for recommending their request without substitute, because DGM HR/Admn Mumbai doesn’t take responsibility of relieving officers or perhaps this clause may be added to give full scope for selection of particular officers who are having expertise in management & can manage their SSA Heads/Controlling officers for recommending own cost requests may be under pressure from DGM HR/Admn Mumbai.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Comrades, who are not at all willing for Pune also can apply for same, as this will be life time experience and by staying at IQs one can have update knowledge of 3G technology direct at site, if M/S ZTE permits and you know for such knowledgeable officer of BSNL, there is wide scope in telecom market outside.  

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 All the comrades, willing for transfer to Pune may opt immediately as there are chances for continuation of services at Pune in continuation of deputation period, but it will be dependent on his performance at Pune and its level of satisfaction by concerned officers.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Let it be at own cost, but it is best opportunity for individuals who are willing but waiting for transfer specifically to Pune City as this willingness will avoid their posting to Pune Rural area under Pune TD. In normal course any TTA/JTO or SDE seeks request for Pune he will be posted to Pune Rural creating HRA Loss and in this case he/she will be directly posted to Pune City.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 This is also great opportunity for the officers transferred out of Pune and till not transferred back to Pune as they are not eligible due to non completion of two years minimum break at Tenure stations or three years break at Non tenure stations but willing to work at Pune at own cost as this period will be counted in their break even though they will be practically available at Pune with their family members.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 This is also opportunity for TTAs, JTOs & SDEs working rural area of Pune SSA to be in Pune City and they also can enrich themselves by this high technology as well as management works. 

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 The officers who are under transfer from Pune, but not yet relived can also apply for same as this will give them opportunity to stay at Pune up to March 2015 and for them own cost does not matter.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Please don’t think that this is turnkey project for 3G GSM services wherein existing BTS are being replaced by 3G BTS (Node B) and entire responsibility is with vendor M/S ZTE, then what is need of TTAs/JTOs & SDEs in Pune. Such lower level thinking will deprive you from life time opportunity to work at important project of BSNL at Pune and hence all willing comrades should apply immediately.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 SNEA (I) Maharashtra will take up matter with GM Mobile Pune & CGMT MH for issuing special experience certificate for such special works which will be very useful for our comrades for their carrier progression. 

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 SNEA(I) Maharashtra appeals all comrades to grab this opportunity and immediately opt for own cost deputation with chance to get permanent posting at Pune and be part of this great technical work being done by M/S ZTE and be part of this great movement.

·                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Please hurry up as last date of submission of application is 15/12/2014 and one can also upload his request on line on MH Intranet to avoid delay in transit and not to miss this opportunity just for this reason.

2 DEC 14: Impact of poor Implementation of ERP now reaches to seniors and that to be to the in charge of ERP, Maharashtra Circle: The executives and non executives in Maharashtra Circle are & were always the sufferers of the poor implementation of ERP and about each and every one has faced its heat and till today many of the seniors were not aware of such difficulties through ERP. It is most unfortunate that now this poor implementation has reached to senior officers also and this time victim is in charge of ERP in Maharashtra Circle. It is understood that monthly salary of Mrs. Marina George Sr GM Fin Mumbai is not drawn by ERP for November 2014 and this is results of careless approach of the officers and staff dealing with this salary in ERP system. This is really shameful for all of us because for this routine works many of officers are deployed specially for salary related issues and till such blunders are reported even in case of senior officers. One can imagine if ERP is not sparing to its overall in charge and makes her to be without salary at least for day or two but who will care for other staff and officers who are victim of such careless approach of officers working in ERP. No doubt, the prompt & immediate action is being taken to draw the salary of GM Fin Mumbai and by now said salary may have handed over to her by fresh cheque, but no one including Sr GM Fin Mumbai has answer to question where such prompt & immediate action would have been taken for any other staff or officers. Answer is definitely big “NO” as many of us rather about all employees have not good experience in such corrective action and many of them never got such prompt and immediate response.

          Comrades, till now poor implementation of ERP was limited only to lower lever officers and staff wherein we are facing issues starting from not drawing salary at all, salary drawn but not credited to bank accounts, Monthly deductions of Societies, Insurance Companies and loans, which are deducted from salary of employee but not deposited to respective units and that to be for months together, mercilessly deduction of extra income Tax from employees including the employees who at the verge of retirement and no action for its refund, double deduction of subscriptions/EMIs of loans keeping employees without any money in hand for monthly expenditure and so on. But now, the heat of poor implementation of ERP has reached higher level & seniors are also becoming victim of this poor implementation of ERP system and this time it is turn of overall in charge of ERP in Maharashtra Circle.  ERP is really & simply great as it is giving equal treatment to all and it does not make any difference of seniors and juniors or even if it is in charge, for ERP wrong is wrong and right is right.

     It is evident that since last eight months, we are expecting some action on many of the individual cases held up in the ERP including accountability of GPF amount which is in hundreds of Crores and but no such prompt & immediate action is being taken to resolve this issue. It is the best example how BSNL & its concerned officers are is being fooled by vendor M/S HCL and our own officers are mute spectators of such prolonged fooling in mass and becoming reason for creating trouble & tension for 22000 employees. This unaccountability is definitely not due to system, but it is mainly due to lack of adequate knowledge and will power for using this knowledge for better & proper utilisation of services from ERP. It is matter of total shame for entire BSNL in general and officers working in ERP in particular, that after passing of eight months period and vigorously persuasion by all officers, juniors as well as seniors, the hundreds of Crores of amount of GPF is not accounted for 22000 employees of Maharashtra Circle and no one is serious about fixing responsibility. If it was case of responsibility and mistake of Field Officers by now action would have been taken against him /her by issuing Memeo, Charge Sheet or further stringent  step of action of his /her suspension on name of misappropriation of funds even just for hundreds of rupees and in this  case neither even warning letter is issued to errant officer for  such prolonged negligence, unaccountability  and   inability to solve the issue, nor action has been taken against vendor of ERP M/S HCL and everyone is given free hand to enjoy the powers. It may be fact that senior officers are not able to trace who is responsible for such wrong doings and if able to trace it, not having such daring to act against errant officers and vendors making them right.

This is really worst situation, but at this stage we have to just wait for accountability of GPF Money and till time be happy only with the equal treatment given by ERP and continue with feelings that everyone is equal in front of ERP when it is handled by officers not having adequate knowledge of system and not having willpower comer cum difficulties.

 

1 DEC 14: Sr GM Fin Mumbai issued letter to all SSA Heads & IFAs to raise issues of roles & authorisation through mantis only through L1 Ids of SSAs. Letter <<<>>>

      It is positive developments that by breaking earlier tradition of just uploading the soft copies of letters in word format, this time GM Fin herself has issued letter with signature and signed copy is uploaded on intranet which will definitely help SSAs to process it in files if required and there is no need of sending/calling FAX of signed copies and its confirmation thereof.  Signed copies of letter was one of the issues raised by SNEA (I) MH and same seems to be taken care now with intervention of CGMT MH and hope it will be maintained in day to come.
