23 Feb 19:  Status of tenure Transfers in Maharashtra Circle: SNEA MH has received many requests for issuing transfer orders of executives working at Circle tenure stations as orders are not issued for last five months.

·        Tenure transfers have been routine matter for BSNL Corporate office to issue tenure transfer before completion of tenure, which was followed till last quarter in Maharashtra Circle.

·        However, since last Sept 2018, the matter of Transfers from Circle tenure Stations and All India soft Tenure stations are delayed by five months and in last month, two-time willingness has been called for Circle Tenure stations for posting substitutes.

·        On this pending issue, creating unrest among executives at tenure stations, SNEA MH had discussions with GM HR Admn Mumbai in last week wherein GM HR Admn Mumbai has firmly assured that Tenure transfers of executives completing tenure up to Oct 2019 will be issued in First week of March 2019.

·        GM HR Admn Mumbai has also assured to consider the medical ground requests from Tenure stations along with the tenure orders in First week of March 2019.

·        Regarding non-tenure transfers, GM HR Admn Mumbai has informed that though willingness has been called for filling of shortages of executives in Non-tenure SSAs, there will be minimum transfers in view of financial conditions of BSNL.

·        He added that transfers without any expenditure i.e. without need of substitute posting, mutual transfers on one to one basis and own cost transfers as per options given by individual will only be given consideration.

·        The matter of transfer to and from Non-tenure stations to meet shortages thereof will be decided on cases by case basis with priority to own cost of transfers and such transfers also will be minimum.

·        GM HR Admn Mumbai added that even though there are some excess executives in some of the SSAs, no any transfers on name of excess would be issued in the interest of service. Transfers from such SSAs having excess Executives will not be issued in the interest of service till there is no extreme shortage in any other geographically nearby SSA.

·        In case of acute shortage of executives in any particular SSA, then the executive in same cadre from nearby SSA having excess executives will be posted in the interest of services and such transfers will be minimum to overcome shortage to certain extent and not meeting entire shortage of that SSA.

·        As such, there are chances of minimum transfers of executives in the interest of service from Non-tenure stations during this year and only transfers without any cost to BSNL will be given consideration.

·        All executives may plan accordingly and decide their course of action to avoid any inconvenience at later stage.

22 Feb 19:   Director CFA BSNL writes DO letter to CGMT MH on poor achievements in gross landline connections  and requested for personal attention to achieve target for during remaining period of this financial year. Letter <<<>>>   Annex I <<<>>>  Annex II <<<>>> 

·        The letter points out that in Maharashtra Circle has achieved only 49.55% (47818 Connections) of assigned target up to Jan 2019 and during same period about 199329 connections are disconnected.

·        It is required that special efforts are taken by one and all in Maharashtra Circle for achievement of targets.

·        Here priority needs to be given for closure of exchanges running in los and more focus needs to be given for Exchanges with high landline demand with priority for revenue generation.

 

22 Feb 19:   AGM Estt Mumbai issued orders for one week deputation of six officers of BSNL Maharashtra Circle for residential programme on “Talent Management and Carrier progression’ to be conducted in IIT BHU Varanashi. Letter <<<>>>

·        Already about 100 officers have been trained under this programme and nothing has been seen as outcome of this training to these officers already undergone training at IIT BHU Varanasi.

·        Until now, this programme has been enjoyed as one week training cum tour of Varanasi and it seems that same trend will continue as the programme, which was kept on hold for last few months, has again opened and now xix officers are deputed in two batches. 

·        Here BSNL is facing financial crunch and it not in position to pay monthly electricity bills, unable to pay the rentals of exchanges/BTS and many of the exchanges and BTS are down even on today.

·        However, in total careless approach all other activities including such useless training are being continued by keeping aside main business of telecom services.

·        Such useless actions and careless approach is one of the reasons for downfall of BSNL and till no lesson has been taken by BSNL, management and officers are being deputed for such unwanted training.

·        Approximately Rs 50,000 will be expenditure for each candidate and thus Rs Three lakhs will be spent on such training, which are practically of zero use in day to day working in BSNL.

·        In this amount, some BTS/Exchanges can be restored by paying outstanding electricity bills/rental but everybody seems to be busy on what’s app, twitter, Facebook and such unwanted trainings for BSNL.

·        Unfortunately, it is picture as on today that no one cares for restoration of failed Exchanges/BTS but many are worried for such unwanted actions and programmes and are directly contributing more losses to BSNL.

·        Hope in days to come, there will be certain change in attitude of BSNL management and immediate action is taken for giving priority for working of BTS/Exchanges rather than such trainings which are not at all useful in day to day functioning of cash trapped BSNL.

·        It is good that BSNL is training its officers for 5G services, but where it is justified and required when BSNL is yet to get 4G spectrum and in not in position to run the 2G, 3G BTS due to non-availability of funds of payment of electricity bills.

·        But such questions are senseless and projection of high Technology is always propagated regardless of its utilisation and affordability by BSNL.

 

 20 Feb 19:  Mass Participation on Third Day of Strike throughout Maharashtra Circle:  On third and last day of the strike, hundreds of comrades have participated in the strike and extended full support to the call given by AUAB CHQ.

·        At many places the gate meetings were arranged with very high response of the comrades in each and every SSA/Unit.

·        AUAB leaders at respective level addressed the gathering elaborating the situation and bringing awareness among the BSNL workforce about the deliberate attempts to destabilise BSNL and Telecom sector to create monopoly.

·        AUAB leaders at different SSAs have approached different leaders and have apprised them about the demands raised by AUAB CHQ and need of its settlement of survival of BSNL and maintain fare completion in Telecom sector.

·        The delegation of AUAB Kalyan met Shri. Eknath Shinde, Hon MP Thane who is prominent leader of Shivsena and submitted him representation about the demands of AUAB and requested for active support in settlement of these demands.

·        The delegation of AUAB Mumbai met Shri. Gopal Shetty, Hon MP Boriwali Mumbai who very active BJP leader and submitted him representation about the demands of AUAB and requested for active support in settlement of these demands.

Ajit Abhayankar, General Secretary CITU Maharashtra, Com. Nageshkumar Nalwade, Convenor AUAB MH, Com. Ranjan Dani, Chairman AUAB MH,  Com. M. S. Adasul CS SNEA MH, Com A. G. Joshi, CS AIBSNLEA MH updating gathering about the genuineness of demands, status of different issues, need of strongest unity and conveying thanks to Maharashtra Comrade in General and Pune comrades in particular for making this agitation call highly successful by such mass participation showing strength of the unity of executives and non executives in Maharashtra Circle. Meeting was nicely anchored by Com D B Baravkar CEC Member SNEA Pune and Com Harisangm ADS AIBSNLEA conveyed vote of thanks.  The meeting started at 1430 hrs concluded at 1730 hrs with slogans of unity.

·        Even after successful strike of three days, there was no action on part of BSNL, DoT and even no formal call for discussions of issues was given to AUAB leaders at Delhi. It seems that DoT & BSNL have understood the limitations of three days call and hence have deliberately not taken any initiatives.

·        Such negligent approach on part of DoT & BSNL management has created mass unrest among executives and many have demanded either for indefinite strike or for not giving any such call for strike of three days without any desired output and just indirect donation of salaries under No Work No Pay Principle.

·        In the Evening AUAB CHQ had meeting of leaders at Delhi and have decided further course of action on completion of three days strike and in view of no response from Management.

·        AUAB MH in general and SNEA MH in particular convey sincere thanks and gratitude to all beloved comrades of Maharashtra Circle for their very active and mass response and making this call for three days strike a grand success.

Some of units/SSAs/Individual who have not participated in strike yesterday have joined Strike call on second day.

·        As it was “Shiv Jayanti”, many Districts started second day strike with garlanding photos of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and continued strike with more intensity.

·        AUAB MH in general and SNEA MH in particular convey sincere thanks and gratitude to all beloved comrades of Maharashtra Circle for their very active and mass response on second day also. 

·        It is unfortunate that though the strike has been intensified with participation of more and more comrades throughout India, DoT has not taken its note and no initiatives were taken either from DoT or BSNL for starting dialogues with AUAB CHQ leaders for resolution of demands raised by AUAB.

·        We appeal all the comrades to further intensify struggle to draw attention of BSNL, DoT and Govt for settlement of the demands raised for survival of BSNL.

·        It was total strike except few units where some portions of officers and employees have not participated in strike; the response from Govt, DoT, and BSNL management was not seen on first day.

·        But, it seems that deliberate attempts are made to neglect the strength and unity of BSNL workforce by Govt/DoT as even there was no call for discussions with AUAB CHQ on first day of strike and hence there is need of intensifying the strike today and tomorrow.  

·        We appeal all the comrades to maintain same tempo, zeal and enthusiasm and make the second and third day of the call a grand success.

15 Feb 19:   CAO FC Mumbai issued order for transfer of one JAO from Pune to Circle Office Mumbai in the interest of service. Letter <<<>>>

·        It is understood that due to go green initiatives this officer has been become spare at Pune and hence transferred to Mumbai with left out work of calling subscribers.

·        The officer was earlier under transfer from Pune to Nanded SSA and now with change of SSA, he is posted to Circle Office Mumbai.

·        Already in Circle Office Mumbai is having the account personnel working more than the double of the actual requirement and comparative staff strength of all other SSAs.

·        There is no need of any more  Account Personal expertise in Circle Office Mumbai as about 150 Account Personal who are highly efficient and expert in their office work are working in Circle Office Mumbai. 

·        This has been repeatedly pointed out even by CGMT MH Circle, but till more and more Account Personals are being posted to Circle Office Mumbai.

·        Further BSNL has no money to pay Electricity bills and many of the BTS/Exchanges are down due to serious financial crises and here transfers are being issued in the interest of service, is definitely good sign for BSNL’s survival.

·        As per our last discussions with DGM FC Mumbai and GM Fin Mumbai there was proposal to shift excess Account Personal from Circle Office Mumbai to SSAs having shortage of Account wing executives, but here in total opposite decision one more JAO is posted to Circle Office Mumbai and some other may be shifted from Mumbai to outside on name of excess strength.

   

14 fEB 19: News about uncertainty about future of BSNL and fear in minds of BSNL workforce and its customers:  Since last few days and specifically after the news of proposal by DoT for closure of BSNL in print and social media yesterday, every employee and officer of BSNL is under shock and this news also has shaken the faith of customer on BSNL.

·        Since last few days, everybody in BSNL is under fear and uncertain about the future of BSNL and is under total confusion about his/her future in such worst financial conditions of BSNL.

·        No one can deny that the situation in Telecom sector is worst and the main reason for this situation is free offers and unfair competition created by R-Jio since last one year.

·        Since opening of Telecom sector for private operators in 1995, there was steep competition, but since last year, it has reached to unethical and unfair practices and has ruined Telecom sector.

·        When telecom sector was opened for private operators after globalization, it was being quoted that DoT has monopoly in Telecom sector and there is no competition in Telecom market of India.

·        Thus to have fair competition in Telecom sector and to overcome monopoly Telecom sector has been opened for private operator and it was justified to certain level with entry of the Mobile in Indian Telecom market.

·        But after 15-20 years, the steps are seen exactly opposite of directions to open Telecom sector to private operators and it seems that all out efforts are being made by every nook and corner to create monopoly of only R-Jio in Telecom sector.

·        In an unfortunate attempt, all other operators are being compelled either to sale the Telecom business or to close the business and get out of Telecom market and best example of it is Reliance communication.    

·        R Jio has started its services in December 2016 with totally free offer and many of the customers have opted for R-Jio it as alternate mobile and retained earlier mobile connections they used.

·        As per guidelines , no Telecom Operator/Company can provide such free offer beyond 90 days, but for R-Jio has once again made such unethical attempts and continued free offer beyond ninety days and also adopted ideas like rental mobile for limited years thereby getting excuses from GST in Crore of rupees.

·        The violation of rules and getting excuses thereof is the work cum business culture by R-Jio and as happened earlier cases of such deliberate violations by R-Jio will be settled with certain amount of fine by TRAI, DoT or Telecom Commission on R-Jio, and which Reliance may pay or may not pay. 

·        Thereafter matter will be pulled in court of law and finally everybody will forget about what was done wrong by R-Jio as adopted by Reliance Communication in earlier stage and here also we should not expect different outcome.    

·        The unfair and unethical competition started in Telecom sector with entry of private operator’s years before has now reached its peak with lowest level actions with entry of R-Jio with free offer, which has already damaged telecom sector.

·        The giant companies, which were leaders in Telecom sector for years together, have come under trouble over the year and under threat of closure or bankruptcy.

·        The free offer by R-Jio is has affected every company including R-Jio, but this company is using support from its other companies and R-Jio is moving ahead with aim to kill the competition in Telecom Sector and to shut down all other companies in Telecom sector and present crises are part of this game plan.

·        Reliance Communication which was in certain competition till few days back has been declared bankrupt and as on today it is trapped in litigations in from its vendors and it is seen that in court of law the reason given for bankruptcy by Reliance Communications in the failure of its deal with R-Jio. The entire workforce and employees of Reliance Communications are or will be on streets for no mistake on their part.

·        Though both the companies are owned by Ambani brothers, but one company which is totally new in Telecom Market shows profit of thousands of crores and another company which is in Telecom sector for years together is declared bankrupt and it is difficult to digest but this is reality due to unfair and unethical competition in telecom sector by R-Jio.     

·        Idea –Vodafone both were giant companies in Telecom sector and due to unfair competition by R-Jio, they have opted for merger and lakhs of employees have been already removed from services and till similar actions are going on. The merged company has shut down many of the BTS and closed about all non-profitable BTS and many of their customers have opted out to BSNL.

·        With some efforts on part of major workforce and management of BSNL, till last month BSNL could sustain the pressure of competition by adopting unethical way by R-Jio in Telecom sector by giving tough fight by adopting ethical ways.

·        Now also, majority of workforce of BSNL except few is making efforts in these directions, but most unfortunately, since few days rather months, the things are not moving in proper directions.

·        It is fact that similar situation was created among the DoT work force while creation of the BSNL from DoT in 1998 to 2000 and which such tactics except ITS officers, everybody was lured, compelled to opt either for BSNL or for MTNL. During that period also it was predicted by many of the so called intellectuals that BSNL will survive only for few years, but since 19 years BSNL has seen many up and downs and the present situation is at lowest down position.

·        But this year situation has been worsened and many of the exchanges and BTS are down for non-payment of Electricity bills and this was indirect action in support of R-Jio. One side we are shutting down services for days together for disconnection of Electricity and other side R-Jio is making grand advertisement in the newspapers, it cannot be mere co-incidence, and major conspiracy seems to be going on.

·        It is unfortunate that it is being informed that funds under Opex (Operation) head are not available for payment of Electricity bills, but it is available for Capex (Capital) works like painting building, outsourcing OFC Mtce works by increasing expenditure by two to five times of the present expenditure, unwanted expenditure on office decoration and petty works, tours, meetings has not been stopped.

·        BSNL is paying huge AMC charges without any desired output, companies like M/S Hungama are bleeding, and looting BSNL by its worst actions, and even after thousands of complaints, no single rupee has been recovered from such fraudulent company.

·        There many such parasite companies /vendors looting BSNL by using different flaws in tender and this is also one of reason for downfall of BSNL.

·        When it was expected that all other works including salary should have been given last priority and Electricity bills are paid. It was also required to define which exchange is /BTS is closed down and which is to be run by reconnection or by regular payment of electricity bills, but it is not seen and routine approach has been seen.

·        First and foremost and immediate step needs to be taken is that to analyze the loss making and profit making BTS/Exchanges and all the loss making exchanges and BTS should be shut down unofficially or officially and no services should be started in any such loss making exchange /BTS and entire focus should be kept on profit making exchanges/BTS and entire workforce working in losing making units/offices should be fully used in profit making Exchanges/Units.

·        The expenditure on marketing should be stopped totally and its should be reduced to Zero % as marketing without existence of services has no meaning except completion of formalities or responding to certain obligations under marketing head.

·        Further, one cannot rule out the agenda behind such news about closure of BSNL on Headlines of leading newspapers when BSNL Unions and Associations are fighting for their legitimate demand for grant of 3rd PRC and allotment of 4G spectrum and since last few years the issues are not settled by DoT by giving different reasons.

·        This may be tactics to compel the workforce of BSNL to accept whatever percentage of fitment given with conditions like reduction of age to 58, VRS for staff & officers above age 50 years etc without any hesitation and in fear of closure of BSNL.

·        We think this formula adopted to create fear in minds of staff and offices of BSNL has been effective as many of comrades who earlier opposed VRS or reduction of retirement age are now openly advocating for its implementation and accept whatever is given by DoT.

·        This happens against the sincere commitment of CMD BSNL over the period of last two years for giving 3rd PRC to all the staff and officers of BSNL with 15% fitment and in present situation these comrades have forgotten even commitment of CMD BSNL and started discussions even on Zero merger of DA or 5% fitment formula for 3rd PRC with reduction age to 58 and VRS for all employees above age 50 years.

·        It seems that certain deliberate attempts are made to create panic situation among BSNL officers and Staff by spreading news about closure of BSNL with headlines so that instead of talking about wrong polices adopted in telecom sector and unfair competition thereof, everybody keeps focus on survival of BSNL and his/her own future in BSNL.

·        Otherwise, the proposal for closure of BSNL is not new as it is proposed by “NITI Ayog” before two years as incipient sick PSU and now same has become catching line in newspapers and social media and it is direct attempt to destabilize BSNL and divert its customer base to other operators.

·        Unfortunately, no one from BSNL has condemned this unethical act and entire situation has been created as if BSNL has been already closed and no one is to take care.

·        Media has quoted presentation given by CMD BSNL to Secretary DoT and proposal for revival of BSNL and also for grant of PRC for workforce of BSNL and same has been directly linked with closure of BSNL.

·        There are three options for cash trapped BSNL i.e. Revival plan, Disinvestment and Closure of BSNL and all three options are equally ascertained. Rather it is reliably learnt that DOT has rejected proposal for Disinvestment and Closure of BSNL and proposal for revival of BSNL is recommended by DoT. Most probably, this plan for of BSNL will be put for approval of Digital commission and hopefully it will be approved with certain conditions.

·        Same has been narrated by Secretary DoT in her address in the Head of Circle Conference of BSNL held in Bharat Sanchar Bhavan New Delhi in last week. She has categorically mentioned that Govt will ensure everything that BSNL is given every necessary support and it is committed for good health of BSNL. She also has cautioned that being Govt procedure it may take time due to procedure being followed in Govt Practices, but every support will be extended to BSNL for its good health.

·        Many have seen that similar situation was for Air India and attempts were made to sale Air India but due to financial conditions, there were no takers for Air India and finally said proposal has been put in dustbin and now Shri. Ashwini Lohani who is known for his result oriented actions is again appointed as CMD of Air India for one year even though he is retired from services.

·        As such, one cannot rule out about the similar actions on part of Govt of India and DoT for BSNL as BSNL is playing major role in growth of India and its contribution in rural and remote area and mainly on disastrous situation cannot be rules out and one has to be always optimistic.

·        The situation is worst and news of closure of BSNL in media has put oil in this worst situation and customer base also has started for opting services of other operators.       

·        Since last two days, many have expressed their feelings on Whats app groups about this panic situation and given many suggestions for revival of BSNL as well as settlement of major demand of third PRC.

·        At this stage, maturity is required by everybody to keep faith on his or her CHQ leadership which is dealing with BSNL management, DoT and Hon MoSc about different pending issues for which call for three days strike has been given by AUAB CHQ.

·        As per ongoing discussions and circumstances, there are chances of settlement of issues through discussions of AUAB leaders at CHQ for which final meeting is scheduled at 1500 hrs todays and final views of AUAB CHQ will be submitted to BSNL management and DoT.

·        One must understand that it is difficult to close any small private company and we have seen that Reliance Communication has tried to close business by declaring bankruptcy, but closure is not possible for Reliance also and just imagine how it will be difficult to close the BSNL, which has presence all over India covering each and every corner.

·        At the same time we have to keep in mind and will have work with at most sincerity and efficiency with vigil to oppose all wrong doing and wastage of money and every staff and officer will have to think before signing any paper, where his/her action /signature is in the interest of BSNL or is against interest of BSNL. Otherwise BSNL will not be in position to sustain further pressure and we will along with BSNL will be ruined in days to come and at later stage we cannot do anything else other than blaming each other for such utter failure and that time such blame game will also no meaning.

·        We will have to bring awareness among the public about need of existence of BSNL for stopping loot by R-Jio which is naturally expected as single telecom Operator in telecom market with monopoly in hands of business oriented company and by apprising them how the free offers by R-Jio will be converted to costly offers after exit of other operators and mainly exit of BSNL.      

·        SNEA MH condemns the unethical and deliberate wrong message being spread in media by neglected proposal for revival of BSNL and appeals all the comrades not to be panic but to be vigilant and be ready to give its best to BSNL/Association by all possible means. At the time, we will have to work hard for building of confidence of the customers on BSNL by overcoming these rumors about closure of BSNL.

11  fEB 19: :  AGM Staff Mumbai calls for revised options for posting of executives from different Cadres to fill up vacancies at different Tenure stations as well as Non tenure Stations. Letter <<<>>> 

·        Earlier on 07/01/2019, options were called for posting to tenure stations and now options are called for filling up vacant post of DEs/SDEs & JTOs in different Tenure as well non-tenure SSAs.

·        The details of earlier letters issued by AGM Staff Mumbai on same subject are reposted here for ready reference of all comrades. Letter <<<>>>    Corrigendum  <<<>>>     Annex I DGM <<<>>>     Annex AGM II <<<>>>        Annex SDE III <<<>>>       Annex IV  JTO <<<>>>    

·        In earlier letters, the vacancy position was shown combined i.e. DE plus DGM and JTO plus SDE, but in this letter, it is shown as separate vacancy position for JTOs & SDEs.

·        The options are to be sent by email on adstaffmh@gmail.com latest by 23/02/2019.

·        Though options were called for Tenure stations till sufficient options are not received and till there are vacant post in these Tenure SSAs.

·        As such options are called viz in DE Cadre,  Gadchiroli SSA (0) , Dhule (3) , Goa (14) , Raigad (1), Ratnagiri (7) , Sindhudurg (0), in SDE cadre for Gadchiroli SSA (10) , Dhule (4) , Goa (5) , Raigad (3), Ratnagiri (1) , Sindhudurg (6)  and in JTO Cadre Gadchiroli SSA (0) , Dhule (1) , Goa (0) , Raigad (3), Ratnagiri (7) , Sindhudurg (6).

·        Thus now apart from options already received by Staff section Mumbai, total 25 DEs, 29 SDE & 17 JTOs are vacant at Non-tenure stations in different SSAs as mentioned in letter.

·        Apart from this, there is requirement of 30 DEs, 19 SDEs and 19 JTOs at non-Tenure stations to fill up vacant posts and options are called for filling up these vacant posts also

·        Though there are vacancies in any particular SSA in particular cadre, and till anyone comes under the zone of Circle long stay for posting at tenure station, then he will be posted to tenure station, regardless of existing vacancies in present working SSA and hence one has to submit options accordingly.

·        The options given for tenure stations will be considered in the interest of service i. e. at Company Cost and options given for Non Tenure stations will be at Own Cost.

·        In case of Own cost transfers,  TA/DA, Transfer grant or joining time is not grated.  

·        The post of executives vacant in Tenure SSAs after considering options received and which will be received up to 23/02/2019 will be filled up from the Circle level Long stay list.

·        The executives working at tenure stations and completed tenure after Sept 2019 are eagerly waiting for their transfers and management is using this idea of calling options repeatedly.

·        It was quite possible that from the options received and by considering some names in the Circle longest stay, the Tenure transfers of executives working at Tenure stations can be considered without any further delay.

·        At least it is was possible that transfer orders of executives completed tenure from Sept 2018 to March 2019 could be issued with this approach, but same is not being done and in time killing attempt options are called for second time by giving two week’s time and adding vacancies of non-tenure stations also.

·        This action by staff section to call for fresh options by giving time up to 23/02/2019, makes it clear that now Tenure transfers will be issued in March 2019 only and not before that.

·        SNEA MH will take up matter for early consideration of tenure transfer orders of executives at least who have completed tenure after Sept 2018 to March 2019.

6 Feb 19:   Facts about Murder of Internal Democracy by unconstitutional and illegal directives by Provisional GS SNEA: Com. M. S. Adasul, CS SNEA MH replies to Com. K Sebastin Provisional General Secretary SNEA CHQ on his illegal, unconstitutional and unethical directives issued for withdrawal of post of CP & CP SNEA MH as proposed in his letter dated 23/01/2018. Letter <<<>>>    

·        In detailed reply it has been point wise clarified how this decision is unethical, illegal, and unconstitutional and against interest of SNEA.

·        Letter elaborates how Com Sebastin himself has violated different clauses of constitution and has made mesh in functioning of SNEA and how he is fabricating baseless charges of not following SNEA constitution by CS/CP SNEA MH on name of holding double post after period of 16 months.

·        The matter of double post by COBs is under purview of CEC of that Circle and CEC of SNEA MH held at Jalgaon in Oct 2018 has already taken decision and matter has been closed, and constitutionally Com Sebastin has no right to act against decision of CEC.

·        The matter of double post by CHQ OBs is under purview of CWC Meeting and in CWC Meeting held in Ludhiana in Nov 2018. In this meeting, Com Sebastin himself has declared that the resignation of DyGS by Com. M. S. Adasul has been approved and he continues to be CS SNEA MH and now constitutionally Com Sebastin has no right to act against decision of CWC.

·        Now Com Sebastin has alleged that the resignation from post of DyGS was backdated then it should not have been declared accepted in CWC Meeting and AIC Ludhiana.   

·        If he was really concerned about holding of double post, he should have acted on completion of three months in Dec 2018 and not now after period of 16 months that to be when matter has been settled by respective and responsible house of SNEA.

·        Com. K. Sebastin, Provisional GS SNEA CHQ has no locus standi to issue letter for forfeiting post of CS and CP SNEA MH under any clause.

·        It has been elaborately expressed in the letter how this decision of Com. K. Sebastin, provisionally approved GS SNEA is biased and vindictive and is taken just in support of BSNL MH Circle management which is unable to defend its stand on illegal action of forfeiting post of CS SNEA MH and DS SNEA Mumbai challenged in High Court Bombay.

·        As per amendment in constitution approved in AIC Ludhiana in Nov 2018, no one including GS SNEA has right to forfeit the post of any office bearer in SNEA even on holding double post

·        As per amendment approved in AIC Ludhiana in Nov 2018, in case of holding double post and non submission of resignation from any of the post, the former post will be automatically exist to be ceased and he will continue on newly elected or latest post.

·        Com. K. Sebastin has referred non-existing clauses of SNEA constitution for forfeiting post of CS & CP SNEA MH and made poor attempt to justify his wrongdoing and biased actions to establish Dictatorship in SNEA.

·        Com. Sebastin has issued letter even without consulting any member of Circle Body of SNEA MH or even he has not consulted single District Secretary of SNEA MH.

·        It has been  made crystal clear in this letter that it is nothing but revengeful action by Com. K. Sebastin against SNEA MH which has not supported him in elections for post of GS SNEA and made complaints about his unethical and fraudulent actions in elections for becoming GS SNEA third time.

·        The post of CS SNEA MH has been illegally already forfeited by CGMT MH by quoting non-existing clauses of the BSNL Executive Association Recognition rule 2014 and Com Sebastin is aware about it.

·        BSNL Executive Association Recognition rule 2014, does not have clause to forefiet post of any office bearers of any association and only provision exists for de-recognition of association in case of non-following constitution and same action has been already taken by BSNL Corporate office in Sept 2018 and CGMT MH has nothing to on it in Oct 2018.

·        Earlier Com Sebastin has raised issue with CMD, Director HR against vindictive actions by CGMT MH against SNEA MH and now he behaves as CMD of BSNL and takes similar action without understanding its impact on working of SNEA and just to settle his personal ego hurted in his failure in GS election and threaten SNEA MH comrades.

·        Com Bharat Sonawane CP SNEA MH has submitted his resignation from both the post i.e. CP SNEA MH as well as DS SNEA Pune within three months. He has just completed formalities of conduction of elections of the SNEA Pune in the same manner as that of Com Sebastin as defunct GS SNEA by holding election in AIC Ludhiana as he has not followed constitution of SNEA and even he was officially declared defunct GS.

·        But, Com Sebastin treats his action as legal as it is approved by house but similar action on part of Com Bharat Sonawane is being used by culprit Com Sebastin as supporting document for establishing holding double post allegation against Com Bharat Sonawane.

·        Similarly, Com Sebastin makes baseless allegations against Com. M. S. Adasul CS SNEA MH for submission of backdated resignation from the post of DyGS when Com Adasul has submitted resignation well within time of three months i.e. on 17/12/2017 and he was elected as CS SNEA MH on 20/09/2017.

·        When Com Adasul was elected as CS SNEA MH the two years period of CHQ Body was over and CWC Meeting extended it nor by BSNL Corporate office and Com Adasul was holding only single post.

·        But Com Sebastin gave wrong information to CWC Bhubaneswar and on name of approval of CPSUCH, he has got illegally post facto approval of extension of CHQ Body on 16/12/2017 with backdated effect 07/09/2017.  

·        In fabricated charges after period of 16 months of election as CS SNEA MH,  now in revengeful attitude after tough fight in GS election held in AIC Ludhiana , Com Sebastin manipulates things as per his requirement and on name of CHQ OB meeting issues illegal directives  for which there is no provision in constitution. 

·        The letter is having all relevant documents attached as annexure establishing the fact that the letter issued by Com Sebastin is illegal, unconstitutional, and untimely, biased and is nothing but joining hands with management settlement of election enmities in AIC Ludhiana.

·        Letter clears that by issuing such letter, now Com Sebastin has made it crystal clear that he has joined hands with MH Circle management for harassing comrades of SNEA MH and has unethically joined hands with officers in Circle management through his mediators and unfortunately, these mediators are members of SNEA.

·        Since CEC SNEA MH at Jalgaon has resolved that Com M S Adasul will be candidate for GS post, Com Sebastin, has started dirty politics and using groupism tactics has told his blind followers to write compliant about holding double post.

·        This was just to create unethical pressure on Com. M. S. Adasul, CS SNEA MH so that he should not be candidate for GS election, as he will be engaged in vindictive actions by CGMT MH.

·        But Com. M. S. Adasul has given tough fight in GS elections and secured 321 votes and Com Sebastin has got 320 votes, but Com Sebastin has declared himself as elected candidate by using muscle power.

·        Com. M. S. Adasul CS SNEA MH has written such detail complaint about the malpractices in AIC Election and challenged the illegal election of Com Sebastin as GS SNEA. Hundreds of similar complaints about malpractices by Com Sebastin in AIC elections have been received by BSNL.

·        Finally matter with all the relevant facts is referred to prescribed authority by BSNL Corporate office i.e. Registrar of Societies, Rajouri Garden New Delhi and till then Com Sebastin is given recognition as provisional GS and he cannot take such decision for violation of constitution when he himself is under fire for series of violations of constitution of SNEA.

·        Now after thought process, Com Sebastin behaves in total irresponsible manner and by fabricated and mutilation of facts has taken one-sided action just to destabilise the unity of SNEA MH, which has challenged his wrong doings as well total failed leadership as GS SNEA.

·        It will be double action by GS SNEA after similar action by CGMT MH before three months and unfortunately, both are quoting non-existing clauses for justifying their stand on fabricated charges even though none of them has powers to forfeit post of any office bearer at any level in SNEA.

·        This proves the unholy alliance of Com Sebastin with Circle management as CGMT MH wants to suppress voice of SNEA MH against his wrong doings and Com Sebastin wants to take revenge of his defeat in GS election and suppress the voice of Com. M. S. Adasul against his wrong doings within SNEA.

·        By forgetting all ethics and guidelines on subject and going by the well-established egoistic principle of enemy of enemy are friends, BSNL MH management and Com Sebastin have become friends.

·        SNEA MH Circle has supported Com Sebastin for becoming General Secretary for two times in AIC Nanded as well as AIC Jaipur, and has opposed candidature  of Com Sebastin as GS in AIC Ludhiana due to his total failure in dealing with HR issues of executives in BSNL.

·        SNEA MH Circle has played important role for giving him status of GS of recognised association by giving lead of 1140 votes out of total lead of 1640 votes given by SNEA MH in Membership verification, and it is his failure that he did not deliver as successful General Secretary and there is much anguish against him.

·        But instead of focusing on resolution of issues of executives, Com Sebastin is diverting minds of SNEA members on such non issues just to hide is failure after failures at all fronts. 

·        Unfortunately,  Com Sebastin  has become forgotten all good deeds and support to him by SNEA MH and has become blind enough that  he is behind breaking strong unity of SNEA MH even by joining hands with management .

·        When Com Anil Dubey DS SNEA Mumbai and Com M S Adasul CS SNEA Mumbai are without salary for last month and fighting against wrongdoing of management, instead of supporting these SNEA comrades.

·        In utter useless & senseless attitude, Com. Sebastin who was earlier supporting MH Circle management behind curtains, has now started acting openly against the strong unity of SNEA MH by making such unholy and unethical alliance with management and has proved that he is such shameful General Secretary of recognised Association. 

·        By elaborating all the facts, the letter request Com Sebastin GS to with draw letter or to have corrective actions by referring this matter of double post to the third party i.e. either to special committee for investigation of allegations or to CEC SNEA MH, or to CWC SNEA CHQ, which is competent authority to decide such dispute. In support of each and every say the supporting documents are attached

·        It is understood that HOCC Meeting held at BSNL Corporate office has decided to allot Rs 100 Crore funds for Electricity bill payments, and till it is not confirmed amount allotted for Maharashtra Circle.

·        Though all these efforts have brought certain relief on the matter of disconnection of Electricity supply and shut down of hundreds of BTS and Exchanges of BSNL, but the issues can be resolved by root cause solution for making arrangements of payments of electricity bills in time and at the same time everybody has to keep focus on energy conservation and minimum use of electricity there by reduction of electricity bills.

·        Hopefully everybody will contribute in Energy conservation, saving the electricity and reducing Electricity bills in all Exchanges and offices by taking corrective action on wastage of Electricity wherever is possible. Let us hope, that this situation will change with sincere efforts and contribution of all.

·        SNEA MH appreciates the efforts taken by Shri. A. K. Bajpai, PGMT Nagpur, Shri. Nitin Mahajan, GMT Nashik, Shri. Hariom Solanki GMT Kalyan and Shri. Rajeev Soni CEE Mumbai by taking up matter at different level and getting some relief in disconnection of Electricity by MSEDCL.

 5 Feb 19:   The charge of Director CM BSNL Board will be looked after by Shri. Vivek Banzal, Director CFA BSNL Board till appointment of regular Director CM BSNL Board. Letter <<<>>>

·        The post of Director CM is vacant for long time as the selection process for post of Director CM has been trapped in unwanted court case and till there is uncertainty about settlement of the court case and final selection of the Director CM BSNL Board.

·        Hence the charge of Director CM which was directly looked by CMD BSNL seems to be given as additional charge to newly selected Director CFA without any extra reimbursement.

 4 Feb 19:   By endorsing guidelines issued by Vigilance Cell, GM VAS-I BSNL Corporate Office writes Circle heads for timely payment of contractor bills. Letter <<<>>>

·        When BSNL is unable to pay Electricity bills and many of the exchanges and BTS are shut down for weeks together, no such letter is issued by any of the officer/office and everybody is hiding the reality, which is reason for non-restoration of these Exchanges/BTS.

·        It is also question, when funds are not available then how such payments pending crores of rupees can be released, but such question has no meaning as everybody is completing formality of writing letter and this is also one of such letters.  .

 

2 Feb 19:   SDE EP Elect Mumbai calls for options for posting of SDE Elect and JTO Elect at Tenure stations as well different SSAs in Maharashtra Circle. Letter <<<>>>

·        Last date of submission of application is not mentioned in letter, but it is mentioned in Format of application for submitting option and accordingly all options/request in prescribed format should reach office of CEE Mumbai latest by 28/02/2019.

·        The transfer orders will be issued in month of March or April 2019.

·        First time options have been called for well in time and by giving format for submission of options.

·        Stay particulars of all the JTOs Elect & SDE Elect are and list is not prepared as per the position in long stay list and one has to decide his position depending on his/her stay and stay of other executives in same cadre in the list.

·        These stay particulars are updated as on 11/01/2019 and till there are any corrections, same needs to be represented with supporting documents.

·        Also, it is seen that stay is not counted from entry in the SSA, but it is counted from the entry in cadre i.e. either on regular promotion in higher grade or in looking after arrangement. Stay of any officer is to be counted from date of entry in SSA for SSA stay and date of entry in Circle for Circle stay.   Concerned officers, whose stay is counted wrong, may represent their case in writing.

·        For posting to tenure station, substitute is posted as per the longest stay of the Officer at Circle Level and while posting substitute to non-tenure SSA, the substitute is posted from SSA long stay of executives in same cadre for which request is pending.

·        However, for filling vacant post in any Tenure or Non-tenure SSA to meet shortage, the executives from Circle long stay excluding tenure SSA is posted.   

·        All executives need to analyse their position in Circle Long stay list and incoming request to their SSA and submit their option accordingly.

·        All the executives have to submit fresh options as all are earlier options are cancelled and only fresh options will be given consideration. 

·        As on today for electrical wing also Tenure stations are same as that of Telecom wing i.e. Gadchiroli, Dhule (Nandurbar Revenue District), Raigad (excluding Panvel), Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg and Goa SSA.

·        Options are called for posting substitute for request out of these tenure stations by JTO Elect & SDE Elect on completion of two years tenure.

·        Though it is shown that Dhule is tenure SSA, its only Nandurbar revenue district is tenure area and there is no post of JTO/SDE Electrical wing in Nandurbar District. Same is case with Gadchiroli SSA; there is no existing post of JTO/SDE Elect in Gadchiroli SSA. As such, chances of consideration of option given by anyone for Dhule & Gadchiroli Tenure SSA are less.

·        Apart from this, it is proposed to fill up vacant post of JTO/SDE Elect at various non-tenure SSAs in Maharashtra Circle.

·        It is required that vacancy position and total no post proposed to filled in particular SSA and SSA wise excess executives if any needs to be declared before calling for options either for tenure or for non-tenure SSAs.

·        SNEA MH will take up matter for declaration of SSA wise vacancy position and SSA wise excess executives for clarity of the concerned executives for giving option to suitable SSA.

·        For any further clarification on any of the issues, individual may contact Mrs. Archana Kamble SDE EP Mumbai {Mob 9423069998} or Com Abhay Kesarkar, JS NRU SNEA MH {Mob 9423085023}.        

 

 2 Feb 19:   GM C & A Mumbai issued eighth reminder to GMT Nanded , Satara and Sindhudurg SSA for conduction of TAC Meeting. Letter <<<>>> 

One side about 50% of total Telephone Exchanges and BTS including prominent and revenue earning Exchanges/BTS throughout Maharashtra Circle are shut down for weeks together and other side BSNL is working for completion of such formality of holding TAC Meeting by writing eighth reminder.

 

2 Feb 19:  Patient is serious, but so called doctors of BSNL  are not Serious, leaving patient to die: The List of Exchanges/BTS Shut down due to Disconnection of Electricity by MSDCEL is increasing and nobody is serious and if serious nothing is seen as concrete and positive output except temporary measure of making part payments.  

·        One side about 50% of total Telephone Exchanges and BTS including prominent and revenue earning Exchanges/BTS throughout Maharashtra Circle are shut down for weeks together and other side BSNL is working for completion of such formality of holding TAC Meeting by writing eighth reminder.

·        The situation is that BSNL Exchanges and BTS in Maharashtra State is that of serious patient in ICU with support of ventilators and reached at the stage that so called doctors are working on removal of ventilators may be deliberately or may be their failure to meet the need of occasions.

·        Naturally, patient in ICU without support of ventilators and without any serious efforts by so called doctors will compel patent to die and if nothing changes then we will have wait and see the patient dead in days to come and time will not excuse all of us part of BSNL workforce for being silent spectator of this utter failure on part of all.  

·        It is unfortunate that nobody seems to be serious about the restoration of exchanges and BTS shut down due to non-of payments of Electricity bills.

·        Apart from this, it is also matter of arbitrary reduction of allotment of funds by BSNL Corporate office and actual achievement of Project Ojas in Energy conservation and nobody is ready to settle this dispute. 

·        This problem persists only in Maharashtra State and no responsible officer from BSNL has taken up matter with higher authorities of MSEDCL as they are uncertain where left out payments will be released as per assurances they give in such meetings to MSEDCL officers.

·        In Goa State, which is part of Maharashtra Circle, this is not issue and till all exchanges and BTS are running smoothly. In many SSAs in Maharashtra state also have managed issues locally otherwise   situation would have been worst. Now these officers also have started raising hands as no serious action is taken on part of Maharashtra Circle administration or on part of BSNL Corporate office and everybody is in automatic deep silence mode and if anybody reaches such officer, he diverts it by pointing out fingers at others. .

·        Situation is worsen and reached seriousness that it is need that ”White Paper” is published on this serious and criminal matter of shutting down exchanges for days together and no action thereof.

·        Now it is being directly alleged by the customers of BSNL that by shutting down the Telecom services for weeks together, BSNL staff and officers have joined hands with R-Jio thereby directly compelling these customers to opt to join telecom services of R-Jio and other private operators.

·        When thousands of landline, Broadband and Leased lines are not working for weeks together, expenditure of lakhs of rupees being spent on Marketing, Sales, Enterprise Business and branding image of BSNL through advertisements and through social media has become out of relevance.

·        Unfortunately, all the exchanges and BTS shut down are not reported in day-to-day operation report or reported the correct reasons are not shown for shut down.

·        The situation of filed officers and staff has become most awkward and are unable to face aggrieved customers and there is blind uncertainty when the exchanges and BTS will be restored.

·        It is unfortunate that in this disastrous situation, some of newly inaugurated 4G BTS with investment of crore of rupees payment are shut down.

·        Now God only knows if we stop OPEX Expenditure and leave operation and maintenance to GOD, then what will be use of expenditure on CAPEX as being done now.

·        BSNL has paid hundreds of crore of rupees for installation of these 4G BTS, but no one s=is serious in clearing outstanding payments of electricity bills. It is reported that there is fund in CAPEX and no funds are available in OPEX.

·        BSNL Corporate office in allotting mere amount in thousands or few lakhs, when outstanding amount is more than Rs 20 Crore and if situation is not improved then day will be not far away, when about all exchanges will be shut down.

·        We should not be surprised, if we reach to situation that all exchanges /BTS are shut down and only Circle office Mumbai will working with new AC Units and all the newly installed Electric fans, AirTel connections on tables of the officers and tri colour light shining on occasions like Republic days and this will be shameful day for all of us. 

·        It is reported that the financial position of MTN L was worst, but MTNL has never shut down hundreds of exchanges and BTS for non-payment of Electricity bills but no one care in BSNL rather everybody is in skin saving mode and want to project that he /she is doing sincere and honest efforts.

·        However, others are not reciprocating and this is most dangerous situation and we are not reaching towards practical solution even though everybody is project his/herself as right.   

·        Let us pray, GOD to give wisdom to the concerned officers for immediate allotment of funds for clearance of Electricity Bills by keeping all CAPEX expenditure aside.   

 

On behalf of its thousands of comrades,

SNEA MH pays tribute to Great Hero of SNEA and Pride of executives in BSNL Com W. Seshagiri Rao, on his third death Anniversary.

31 Jan 19:  Black Spot on Association Internal Activities under Elections Politics: In an worst of the approach on part of any Chief Executive of association and leader against its own and strongest Circle branch, Com. K. Sebastin, Provisional GS SNEA, issued unethical, illegal and unconstitutional directives for withdrawal of Charge of CP & CS SNEA MH and handing over it respectively to VP & ACS SNEA MH. Letter <<<>>> 

·        This letter untimely and unwanted from provisional GS SNEA CHQ on already settled issues of double post by CEC SNEA MH, CWC Ludhiana and AIC Ludhiana is untimely and just to destabilise SNEA MH.

·        Though, with this letter stand of SNEA MH has been justified and it is now crystal clear that CGMT MH do not have right of forfeiting post of CS SNEA MH and it is internal matter of SNEA.

·        CGMT MH has forfeited post of CS SNEA MH and DS SNEA Mumbai under non existing clauses of BSNL Executive Association Recognition Rule 2014 as there is no clause to take action against any individual office Bearer by management and there no any clause of forfeiting right of holding post in association.

·        Apart from the court case, this matter was being pursued by Com Bharat Sonawane, CP SNEA MH, Com Nagesh Kumar Nalawade CS BSNLEU MH, Com Ranjan Dani, CS NFTE MH and some rounds of discussions have been held in resolution of matter.

·        But all of sudden without consulting any of the Circle office Bearer, any of District Secretary or any of the District Secretary of SNEA MH, Com K Sebastin has issued such letter, backstabbing SNEA MH as he has now taken additional vindictive action by withdrawing post of CP SNEA MH.

·        This matter of double post has been well settled in Circle Executive Meeting of SNEA MH held at Jalgaon on 13 & 14 /10/2018 and GS SNEA CHQ has nothing to with it and issue fresh guidelines to co-opt post of CP SNEA MH by again holding CEC Meeting of SNEA MH.

·        This will be nothing but wastage of money of SNEA for emergency CEC Meeting and Com Bharat Sonawane will be undoubtedly again elected as CP SNEA MH. 

·        This is revengeful attempt by Com K Sebastin against SNEA MH as about all comrades of SNEAA MH has opposed his candidate for GS post due to his utter failure in giving desired results in settlement of HR issues of executives.

·        Com K Sebastin wants to supress the voice of internal democracy with SNEA and indirectly or directly supporting management to act against SNEA MH.

·        Already CGMT MH has forfeited post of CS SNEA MH, matter is challenged in Hon High Court Bombay, and two different authorities i.e. CGMT MH and GS SNEA CHQ cannot take same action on same so-called violation of the constitution of SNEA of holding double post beyond period of three months.

·        After period of 16 months of election of post of CS SNEA MH, now Com Sebastin is spreading wrong information that Com. M S Adasul has submitted backdated 17/12/2017 resignation on 13/10/2018.

·        Now question arise if he has submitted backdated resignation, then why Com Sebastin accepted it after ten months and why he has not asked for fresh copies.

·        Further, what made him to maintain silence over last ten months of holding double post beyond three months and what made him to act this particular time when issue is already challenged by SNEA MH in Hon High Court Bombay.

·        Reason behind such prolonged silence of Com K. Sebastin is that Com. M. S. Adasul has submitted resignation from post of DyGS well within time of three months i.e. on 17/12/2017.

·        This matter of double has been duly discussed in CEC meeting of SNEA MH held at Jalgaon on 13 & 14 /10/2018, then in Pre-AIC CWC Meeting at Ludhiana on 27/11/2018 and also in AIC Ludhiana held from 28 to 30/11/2018 and has been closed and Com. M. S. Adasul continues to function as CS SNEA MH.

·        Even Com. K. Sebastin as GS SNEA MH has taken up matter of vindictive actions by CGMT MH with CMD BSNL, Director HR BSNL and GM SR BSNL and pursued for withdrawal of vindictive actions in month of Oct 2018 and nothing thereafter.

·        Now after 13 months of election of CP & CS SNEA MH, when SNEA MH has been successful in establishing the wrong doings of management in Hon High Court Bombay, Com. K. Sebastin issued such letter as backstabbing and revengeful activity as next part of dirty politics of his GS elections. 

·        Com K. Sebastin is quoting old clause of SNEA constitution, which has been modified in All India Conference Ludhiana. Old clause says that in case of holding double post and no resignation from any of the posts, all the posts held by said Office Bearer would be forfeited.

·        As per amendment approved in AIC Ludhiana in Nov 2018, in case of holding double post and non submission of resignation from any of the post, the former post will be automatically exist to be ceased and he will continue on newly elected or latest post.    

·        As such, no one has right to forefiet the post of any office Bearers and it has become now automatic and self-binding process.

·        This action by Com K Sebastin Provisional GS SNEA will noted as “Black spot” in association activities and will be remembered as backstabbing of Circle Organization by its own GS SNEA CHQ. SNEA Maharashtra condemns this act and registers strong protest with SNEA CHQ.

·        This illegal and unethical action by Com K. Sebastin Provisional GS SNEA will be suitably responded and replied by SNEA MH with facts & figures.

·        Till time, comrades of SNEA MH may please keep patience as shown by them for last three months and SNEA MH will definitely overcome all these manmade crises and anti SNEA activities by unconstitutional way by its provisional GS on the matter already resolved by highest Body of SNEA i.e. All India Conference.

29 Jan 19:  CEE Mumbai writes SSA/BA Heads for giving names and contact details of Nodal Officers for Payments of the electricity Bills. Letter <<<>>> 

·        It is unfortunate that over the period of one month, about 17 SSA/BA Heads out of 30 SSAs in Maharashtra are unable to finalise the Nodal officers for their SSA for payment of Electricity Bills which is burning issue at least in Maharashtra Circle.

·        About 50 Exchanges and BTS are being shut down due to non-payment of Electricity charges and day by day, there is certain addition in list of such shut down Exchanges/BTS with restoration of few, there is no seriousness among SSA/BA Heads even for nomination of Nodal Officer for Electricity bills payments just to co-ordinate with Circle Office.

·        One side BSNL Maharashtra Circle is arranging inauguration functions for 4G services by auspicious hands of Hon MP and leaders and CGMT MH is addressing all such inaugural functions through Video Conference, no serious efforts are made to continue the services being provided by BSNL Maharashtra Circle through existing Telephone Exchanges and BTS.

·        It really critical financial condition and worst level of management on part of BSNL management that one side hundreds of BTS and exchanges are shut down for non-payment of Electricity Bills as funds for same are not being allotted, such new addition is being done on daily basis and if no corrective action is taken then these 4 G BTS/Nodes being inaugurated in such big manner will also be shut down very shortly and this will be worst day and purely wastage of money of financially BSNL. 

·        It is feelings of the executives and non-executives of BSNL that some conspiracy is going on for deliberately shutting down the exchanges and BTS and such serious issue is taken casually as funds are being allotted for many other CAPEX works but not for Electricity bills.

·        If situation is not controlled and if management do not come out with immediate action to pay the Electricity bills, very shortly all the existing customers will also shift to private operators.

·        Now customers are blaming that BSNL itself do not want to run the services and compelling us for opting for telecom services of private operator R-Jio, AirTel, Idea etc by forcefully surrendering BSNL landline as well as Mobile connections.

·        It is need of time that all will have to come out of this worst approach and some serious efforts needs to be done for payments of Electricity Bills.

·        It has been suggested by some of comrades that we should give priority to payment of Electricity bills rather than the salary as if exchanges and BTS will be shut down in such manner, then we will not get money even for payment of salary.

·        Hence, for survival of BSNL, immediate action needs to be taken by Maharashtra Circle for payment of Electricity bills by putting up facts about achievement under Project Ojas, practically reduction of Energy charges under this project, measures for energy conservation and its practical reduction in Electricity bill amount.

·        This seems to be deliberately happening with Maharashtra Circle as Maharashtra Circle is contributing major revenue of BSNL and the BSNL Corporate office has to give top priority to Maharashtra Circle, but it seems that deliberate step motherly treatment is being to Maharashtra Circle by not releasing funds for payment of Electricity changes.

·        Maharashtra Circle has to create pressure on BSNL Corporate office for releasing fund actually required for payment of outstanding bills of Electricity and such works of appointing nodal officer will not solve the problem to root cause.

·        It was really painful to see on 70th Republic Day of India that one side many of the exchanges and BTS of BSNL Maharashtra Circle were shut down due disconnection of Electricity supply for non-payment of Electricity bills, the other side Administrative Building of HQ of BSNL Maharashtra Circle was shining in Tricolour lightening as Electrical unit Mumbai has put extra light on this building making it Tricolour lighting respecting patriotism towards nation on 70th Republic day.

·        Comrades, time has come to seriously think that we are going in right direction by shutting down exchanges and BTS one by one, we are moving towards closure of BSNL, and all have to speak and write openly on this very serious matter about survival of BSNL.

·        We all will have to be think on it seriously otherwise very shortly BSNL will be nowhere in Telecom market even on social media as being projected now under marketing strategies. ????????????????

 28 Jan 19:  AGM Admn Mumbai writes Unit/Section Heads of Circle Office Mumbai calling for additional requirement of AirTel connections against old numbers or as new requirement latest by 01/02/2019. Letter <<<>>>

·        Though, many of the connections provided by AirTel before two months are not working for last two months, demand of additional connections for AirTel is being generated.

·        Earlier, MTNL connections were surrendered in mass by BSNL quoting poor quality of services, and in an unethical way, AirTel connections are being provided without going for any tendering formalities and matter has been under dispute.

·        Though, there is much unrest among BSNL workforce, many have opted for keeping mum due to pressure tactics adopted in this matter.

·        Till it is matter of dispute, where the AirTel connections should continue to work or even installed in Telecom service provider PSU BSNL by surrendering Telecom services of other Telecom PSU MTNL, but AGM Admn Mumbai continues to provide additional connections to AirTel by generating demand for new connections for AirTel. 

 

SNEA Maharashtra wishes Happy 70th Republic Day

 

25 Jan 19:  In order to save expenditure in meticulous way due to financial crunch faced by BSNL,  DGM Admn Mumbai conveys decision of the approval CGMT MH Circle for non-payment of cash in lieu of Towel, Soap, glass, tumbler, pen refill etc to all executives as well as non-executives. Letter <<<>>>

·        The letter is marked to Circle/District Secretaries of all Unions and Associations with appeal to apprise members about this decision of management.

·        It was quiet possible, that such decision could have been taken after prior discussions with all Unions & Associations, but as usual, decision is taken without consultation of any Union or Association with covering appeal.

·        God only knows, how such measures will save expenditure BSNL by curtailment of few lakhs of rupees when certain units & officers of BSNL are making unwanted expenditure in Cores of rupees. Unfortunately, no such corrective measures are applied on such certain visible expenditures.

·        Till now by such actions, BSNL executives and non-executives in Maharashtra Circle have surrendered 12 % Medical Bills, BSNL Diary 2019 and now we will have to forfeit this cash payments.

·        Nothing wrong to support all such decisions by management until the financial condition of BSNL is improved, but it makes panic when certain officers continue make such unwanted expenses by neglecting poor financial condition of BSNL.

·        Some special officers are enjoying all facilities/benefits and common officials and officers only are asked to forgo their rights on name of financial condition of BSNL.

·        Let us hope such measures are taken by the Circle Management for saving all such wasteful expenditures without need of any suggestions from any Union/Association and in days to come there is total control put on all such unwanted and avoidable expenditure till financial condition of BSNL improves and such measures are not limited only for such routine payments of workforce of BSNL.

24 Jan 19:  Partial payments of MSEDCL against Outstanding Electricity Bills will be released today : It is glad to see that BSNL Corporate Office has allotted one third of total funds required for payment of outstanding Electricity bills  in Maharashtra Circle.

·        Maharashtra Circle is in need of Rs 37 Core for payments of outstanding bills, BSNL has released Rs. 14 Core, and till the situation will not improve, but the major exchanges and revenue earning centers shut down for nonpayment of electricity bills can be restored now.

·        This amount of Rs 14 Core will be paid against the high revenue earning Exchanges/BTS with certain priority and hence all concerned officers have to be alert and give correct priority of payment of bills.

·        Let us hope that additional fund of left out Rs 23 Cores will be allotted by BSNL CO in days to come.

·        The officers concerned /SSA Heads have to decide priority on payments of Electricity bills and intimate it to AO Nodal officer Circle Office Mumbai so that payments can be cleared and electricity can be reconnected for majority of revenue earning exchanges.

·        After conflict between the management of BSNL Maharashtra Circle and MTNL Mumbai, BSNL has surrendered the MTNL connections in Circle Office Mumbai and opted for AirTel Connections and main reason given was poor quality of services of provided by MTNL.

·        However, here in case of AirTel also situation is not good and till many of the newly provided connections are not working even though after period of one month.

·        Further, there is reluctance in getting AirTel connections started and though connections are started at some of desk, same are not being utilised by the concerned officials/officers and due to such reluctance, the complaints are not being registered but many of the AirTel numbers are practically not working as on today also.

·        Let us hope, at least  with this arrangements of publication of complaint number of AirTel officially, there is improvement in the  services in DELs provided by AirTel in Circle office Mumbai and all gets fault free services as desired by the Management and AirTel  do not continue to get payments without provision services as blamed in case of MTNL.

·        It is feared that such contradiction in working and advertisement will not benefit BSNL by either way and it is need of time that till BSNL is unable to maintain quality Telecom services by overcoming all such problems, there is no use of such advertisements.

22 Jan 19:  Electricity Bill payments and disconnection of Electricity supply of exchanges/BTSs in Maharashtra Circle is moving towards worst situation:

·        Though, certain efforts are being made to make payments of electricity bills by Maharashtra Circle, but these efforts are not going to solve the real problems and the situation in the filed units is deteriorating day by day. 

·        Due to 20% reduction of funds for Electricity Bills by BSNL Corporate office, on name of achievements under project Ojas, Maharashtra Circle is facing these critical condition and problems thereof.

·        Since implementation of the Project Ojas, this 20% deduction has applied by BSNL Corporate office and such 20% per month for last five months have now reached 100% deduction and BSNL Maharashtra Circle is unable to pay the outstanding bills.

·        Thus, due to such backlog, the electricity bills of about Rs. 30 (Thirty) Cores are pending as on today and BSNL Corporate office is allotting funds in just lakhs of rupees.

·        If the same trend and approach is continued at all levels, we should not be surprised if electricity of major exchanges will be disconnected in coming days and total services of BSNL will be shut down.

·        It is unfortunate that such disconnections of electricity has compelled field officers to shut down the exchanges/BTS unofficially.

·        It is also affecting the Enterprise business as in such cases along with landline, broadband the lease circuits as well as OFC systems are also being shut down thereby closing all BSNL services of that that city/town and OFC connectivity of nearby exchanges/ BTS even though Electricity bills of such exchanges/BTS are paid.

·        This is example how the lack of information in communication department itself or miscommunication of information between Circle office Mumbai and BSNL Corporate office has created extreme critical condition.

·        It is understood that certain efforts are being made by BSNL Maharashtra Circle demanding some additional funds, but same are not being responded by officers in BSNL Corporate office.

·        Maharashtra Circle is contributing about 20% of the total revenue of BSNL and such prolonged interruption of services will definitely affect the further revenue earnings of BSNL and the customers may be diverted to other operators. Maharashtra Circle cannot be treated at par with other circles and some priority needs to be given for Maharashtra Circle.

·        Hence, it is need of time that by stopping all other expenditure, immediate action needs to be taken to reconnect electricity supply of all Exchanges and BTSs.

·        Unfortunately, when exchanges/BTS are shut down for non-availability of funds, the expenditure on other works is going on in cores of rupees and it seems that we are moving towards bankruptcy as if we are not able to maintain services any expenditure of Capital works will be further wastage of BSNL Money.

·        SNEA MH has taken up matter with BSNL Corporate for immediate allotment of Rs. Thirty Cores for payment of outstanding Electricity bills, and we have received some positive response and it is expected that allotment of funds will be taken care very shortly.   

·        But meantime all field officers may take up matter with MSEDCL accordingly and also see that Electricity bills are processed in time and on regular basis and at the same time, some concrete efforts are taken for implementation of Energy conservative steps as proposed under Project Ojas.

·        If there are practical difficulties in implementation of these steps under Project Ojas, then same needs to be brought to notice of competent authority and it needs to be brought to notice of BSNL Corporate office, so that minimum required funds are allotted every month for payment of electricity bills and such critical and shameful situations of disconnection of Electricity due non-payment of bills can be avoided in future.

·        When many of the Telephone exchanges are shut down due to disconnection of the Electricity supply as Electric Bills of months together are not paid by BSNL, such letters is nothing, but mere formality and nothing will happen even if such hundreds of letters will be issued.

·        It is surprising that fund is not available for maintenance works even in lakhs of rupees, but funds for new works are available in cores of rupees.

·        It is unfortunate that when there is need of concrete actions to improve the gross landline connections and the is demand of landline connections in pending in certain areas but BSNL is unable to meet such demand due to shortage of stores and non availability of funds for day to day maintenance works, rentals of buildings, diesel and even for Electricity bills.

18 Jan 19:  Updates on disconnection of Electricity supply of Telephone Exchanges /BTSs by MSEDCL and Steps required to overcome situation:  SNEA has discussed the issue of disconnection of Electricity supply by MSEDCL in different Exchanges and BTS due to non-payment of the Electricity Charges and issues created about Image of BSNL and threat to life of officers/officials working in the field units due to such delayed payments/Non Payments.

·        It is fact that since last one month, this issue of notices and action by MSEDCL for disconnection of Electricity with dare action even to withdraw Electric Meter has become hot and many of the field officers have observed heat due to closure of total telecom services from certain Telephone Exchanges and BTSs.

·        By taking note of unrest in the filed units, yesterday certain payments have been released against Electricity Bills by Maharashtra Circle and some more release of Electricity payments are expected within day or two.

·        As such, SNEA has discussed this issue with different officers and we are surprised to know that availability of cash for payments of Electricity bills is not that much issue for BSNL and money is available to better extent to pay the charges.

·        The real problem noticed is that BSNL has launched “Project Ojas” in August 2018 and it has decided to save 20% Electricity Charges under this special project.

·        This 20% direct reduction, happens when there is increase in Tariffs of Electricity bills, increase in certain number of BTS /Node be under Phase VIII.4 project, etc.

·        As per action plan and assurances of this dream “Project Ojas,” it was expected that 20% of Electricity Charges would be saved under majors of energy saving, which is not fully achieved by Maharashtra Circle, but with such assumptions, BSNL Corporate office has applied the reduction of 20% fund allotment for payment of Electricity charges for Maharashtra Circle.

·        It means Maharashtra Circle is getting less funds of 20% for electricity bill payments as compared to last year funds for electricity bill payments.

·        Due to this, only Maharashtra Circle is facing this critical situation and other Circles have taken corrective actions to overcome such critical situation created in last months in few circles. 

·        As such, when money is received the payments are being made to all the exchanges and BTS sequentially or as per priority given by e-BASS, but backlog of payments is increasing day by day and over the period of last three months, this backlog has accumulated.

·        This is classic example of theoretical thinking by Corporate Office neglecting practical actions and achievements thereof, and everybody is silent as no one want to accept the failure in achievements of targets of “Project Ojas as committed by Maharashtra Circle and expected by the officers in BSNL Corporate office.

·        Earlier, SSA Heads were having powers to take decision on such critical issues and in changed scenario, SSA Heads and even BA Heads do not have any such powers of dealing with such critical issues by diverting funds available with SSA, but all such powers of SSA/BA Heads are withdrawn and centralized in Circle office.

·        As such, now days SSA/BA Heads are helpless in dealing with such critical issues and they only have to plead rather beg to the officers of MSEDCL without any firm assurances when the outstanding payments will be released by Circle office, Mumbai. 

·        Hence, this critical condition has been arised and now many of the higher capacity exchanges are also have come under threat of disconnection of Electricity due to nonpayment of Electricity bills for period of months together.

·        As such it is required that everybody has to come forward and take  action to save electricity charges at least by 20% in each exchange /BTS and even in office accommodations.

·        Immediate steps are required in switching off the Air Condition units which are not in use/underutilized, even the exchanges with no profit and less customers can be closed by taking approval of competent authority.

·        It is also seen that after implementation of NGN, till some other exchanges are kept switched on, which needs to be closed.

·        Even in offices, the fans and lights should be switched on when required and as being done all lights and fans should not be switched on and kept on throughout day.

·        The important action required is for review of requirement of HT connections and applying for LT connections wherever possible, which will reduce the electricity charges.

·        Further, it is required that industrial tariff wherever is applicable needs to be adopted with immediate effect. In this regards, it is expected that 3G/4G BTS/Node B and all data related activities comes under Industrial tariffs and exchanges with less connections in such BTS locations should be closed if not economical or separate electricity supply should be taken for exchange and BTS so that industrial charges concessions can be adopted for 3G/4G BTS.

·        The Air cooler systems should be made operative in all newly installed BTS/Node B, which is not in need of Air-conditioned systems.

·        Thus, all out efforts needs to be taken by one and all for energy conservation and saving wasteful energy and no way electricity should be wasted.

·        Now, it is proposed that in tune with BSNL Corporate Office, Maharashtra Circle will allot fund 20% less to the SSAs and all SSAs will have to make arrangements of Electricity payments within this reduced amount. This is possible only if the corrective majors as above by implementing the directives issued by different officers, offices/units of Maharashtra Circle/ Corporate office.

·        In such cases, it will difficult to manage the show within SSA also and hence only prime action required to be taken is “Energy Conservation Majors” and hopefully everybody will act on it.

·        At the same time, we will take up matter with BSNL Corporate office, for increasing the Electricity bill funds based on increases in the tariffs of the electricity bills as well based on addition of new BTS/Node B under Phase VIII.4 expansion done in Maharashtra Circle.

·        Let us hope, that with such corrective measures, we will be able to overcome the present crises of Electricity bill payments and manmade critical situation of disconnection of Electricity supply, in view of the non-payments of Electricity bills.

17 Jan 19:  Disconnection of Electricity supply of Telephone Exchanges /BTSs by MSEDCL for non payments of Electricity bills and issues thereof: It has been brought to notice of this association by field units that officers of MSEDCL are very aggressively acting for disconnection of Electricity of the BSNL Telephone Exchanges and BTSs for non payments of electricity bills.

·        This has created mass unrest among the BSNL customers, the officers/officials in the filed units are under life threat, and unable to answer the public annoyed due to disconnected Telecom services.

·        Though in some cases efforts are being taken for resolution of issues with local assurances, matter needs to be taken more seriously and at higher level with MSEDCL as disconnections are affecting badly to telecom services.

·        It is reported that it not possible to run the exchanges on DG sets due to shortage of funds for Diesel and also MSEDCL is charging heavy charges for reconnection of disconnected Electricity supply and this is becoming additional burdon for BSNL.

·        In about all cases of non-payments of electricity bills, the notices have been issued for disconnection of Electricity supply if due are not cleared by specific dates and in some cases disconnection has been affected and MSEDCL officers are not co-operating as were co-operating in earlier days.

·        In certain units /SSA, the MSEDCL seems to be acting mercilessly by forgetting the long-term interaction of BSNL with MSEDCL and even Electricity Meter is taken away as if this connection is permanently closed.

·        It is fact that BSNL is going through certain specific financial conditions and all circles were having certain issues with payment of electricity charges before few days but many have made up arrangements for same.

·        In Maharashtra Circle also, some steps are being taken to release certain payments to MSEDCL and on daily basis, certain amount is being released on regular basis, but same is not being responded positively by MSEDCL by treating BSNL as important customer and extreme action is being taken to disconnect the Electricity supply even that of major exchanges

·        Some special arrangement has been made for payment of electricity bills, but it seems that due to non-availability of funds, the arrangement is also not sufficient for avoiding/stopping disconnections and the uncertainty in filed units continues.

·        Maharashtra circle has taken strong initiatives for “Project Ojas for energy conservation and many steps have been initiated in these directions over the period.

·        Maharashtra Circle has also developed in house Electrical Bill Analysis and Scheduling software e-BASS (Electrical Bill Analysis & Scheduling Software) which helps BSNL to analyse the electricity bills on 36 parameters, detect errors, abnormal consumptions, etc. before releasing the payment to MSEDCL and this software is being successfully used in Maharashtra Circle since March 2018.

·        As special case, the instructions are issued for streamlining the process of Electricity bill payments by nominating SSA wise Nodal officers for Electricity payments and Mrs Megha Purohit Account Officer Circle office Mumbai  { Mob: 9422057249, Email: bsnlmhelectbills@gmail.com }  is nominated Circle Level Nodal officer for timely payments of Electricity bills in Maharashtra Circle.  Letter <<<>>> 

·        It is unfortunate that with such advanced actions and steps on part of BSNL also, we are trapped in critical situation that certain exchanges and BTS of BSNL are closed for non-payment of electricity charges and daily new threat is given by MSEDCL for disconnections of Electricity supply for non-payment of Bills.

·        The day to day critical cases received by SNEA MH are being pursued for timely payments, but it is better that all such cases are reported to Nodal officer along with copies of notice for disconnections and with justification of priority thereof, so that these cases can be taken care by the nodal officer in Circle office Mumbai for timely payments and avoiding disconnection of electricity connections.

·        SNEA MH has already taken up matter with CGMT MH elaborating the critical situation and difficulties faced by field officers in view of non-payment of Electricity charges for months together and requested for making arrangements for timely payments of the Electricity Bills. Letter <<<>>>

·        Though situation is critical, we have to be hopeful that certain steps are being taken by the BSNL to overcome this situation and shortly it will be streamline process as happened to be done earlier in time bound manner.

·        It required at this crucial time that we all should put our all-out efforts by taking up matter with senior officers of MSEDCL and also in bringing out the facts to the notice of Nodal officer as well as CE Elect Mumbai, GM Fin Mumbai in case of the extreme critical problems to avoid the closure of Telecom services and see that Electricity is not disconnected.

·        Already about all other Circles have overcome this problem as so such serious complaints are seen in other circles and Maharashtra Circle will also definitely overcome this situation in days to come.

·        As such, all the units needs to act immediately and collect the BSNL 2019 calendars as per actual requirement so that further distribution of Calendars to the customers is completed at least by third week of January 2019 and no calendar is kept in stores as happened in some cases of last year.  

 

11  Jan 19: :  AGM Staff Mumbai calls for options for posting of executives from different Cadres to Tenure stations as substitute to tenure completed executives in Telecom wing. Letter <<<>>>    Corrigendum  <<<>>>     Annex I DGM <<<>>>     Annex AGM II <<<>>>        Annex SDE III <<<>>>       Annex IV  JTO <<<>>>    

·        Since the day, the options are called many of the executives are making queries about their position in long stay list and when their turn will come.

·        In this regards, it is being informed that  no one can give firm information where name of any of the executive will be considered in this spell of transfers or not. It purely depends on the options being received in combined cadre.

·        e.g. now there are total 84 vacancies in JTO Plus SDE {JTO 19 plus SDE 64} at all tenure stations and if willingness are received from JTO plus SDE to fill up all vacant post in all SSAs are more than required in any SSA, then there will not be need of operating Circle long stay list either for JTO or for SDE.

·        But if sufficient options are not received for any particular tenure SSA either in JTO/SDE Cadre, then substitute will be posted from the top of the long stay list “Posted Since” column in that particular cadre. i.e. JTO as substitute to JTO under transfer or to fill vacancy of JTO in that tenure SSA and SDE as substitute to SDE under transfer or to fill vacancy of SDE in that tenure SSA.

·        Same formula will be applicable for DE & DGM combined requirement at these tenure SSAs.   

·        Earlier the tenure transfer orders were issued on quarterly basis, but during last year/spell same has been changed and it has been made as six monthly transfer orders and accordingly transfer orders of executives completing tenure by March 2019 were expected in Sept 2018.

·        The files were processed for same accordingly along with relevant data but same was kept on hold by CGMT MH.

·        Now, when pressure excreted from all corners, it is decided to consider transfer orders of executives working at tenure station and accordingly willingness has been called from the executives working in JTO, SDE, DE and DGM cadres in Telecom wing.

·        Similar action is also expected for executives working in Account, Electrical and Civil wing.

·        Further, it is decided that now tenure transfer orders will be on yearly basis and willingness is called for posting substitute for executives who will be completing Tenure by Sept 2019.

·        Thus, the executives, who are completing two years tenure at Circle tenure stations i. e. Goa, Sindhudurg, Ratnagiri, Raigad, Gadchiroli and Nadurbar revenue District of Dhule SSA and three years tenure in Sindhudurg & Gadchiroli SSA by Sept 2019, are eligible for transfer in this spell which is being issued shortly.

·        The executives working at these tenure stations and completing tenure by Sept 2019 and have not yet applied for request transfer from tenure stations will have to apply latest by 25/01/2019 by sending signed copy of request by email adstaffmh@gmail.com so that his/her name can also be considered in request transfers from tenure stations being issued in this spell.

·        This time strength of JTO and SDE is counted combinely and strength of DE & DGM is counted combine, and accordingly willingness has been called.

·        Thus total 11 DGMs, 32 DEs, 64 SDEs and 19 JTOs are required at these Circle Tenure Stations /All India Soft Tenure stations in Maharashtra Circle as substitute to tenure-completed/completing executives as well as to fill up the shortage of executives in these tenure SSAs.

·        While stressing for filling for shortage of 100% executives in these tenure stations, nothing has been mentioned about the vacancies of the executives at the Non-tenure stations. 

·        All the earlier options for posting at Tenure stations have been scrapped by management and now all executives willing to work at Tenure station have to submit fresh application/option/willingness.

·        Even though options/willingness will be given by executives, all these transfer order to tenure station will be issued in the interest of service.

·        The options are to be sent by email on adstaffmh@gmail.com latest by 25/01/2019.

·        If sufficient options are received for all Tenure SSAs, then substitute as well as additionally required executives will be posted from the willing executives who are submitting options in time.

·        If sufficient options are not received then the executives in the long stay list in that particular cadre at Circle level will be posted as substitute.

·        Accordingly, the executives working at non-tenure stations and appearing in the long stay list should submit option as per their requirement and position in the long stay list.

·        If anyone is coming in long stay list of that particular cadre to the extent of requirement of executives at tenure stations, in present case top 11 DGMs, 32 DEs, 64 SDEs and 19 JTOs in the list of the Circle long stay are in zone of consideration for posting at these tenure stations.

·        The executives at lower position may not be in consideration of the tenure transfers immediately as transfer orders are being issued for next year also.

·        But one should think on his requirement and position in long stay list and opt according because when his/her turn comes, at that time the vacancy may not exit in the SSA for which he/she is willing at that particular time.

·        This position in long stay list may change as per the options given by the executives who are at lower position of the Circle long stay list of that cadre or from other cadres for which strength is being counted combinely.

·        The stay of the officer for counting Circle/SSA long stay is counted from the date of entry in any cadre in Circle/ in that particular SSA and all have to check their stay particulars and date of joining  in present/working SSA and ascertain his/her position.

·        Normally female executives are not posted to tenure stations, but willing female executives are encouraged and posted to choice tenure stations. 

·        The female executives not posted to tenure stations, but in the long stay, will be posted to non-tenure stations in due course of time on long stay basis.

·        Hence, the female executives in Circle long stay list and not completing 57 years of age as on 31/03/2019 may exercise their option to suitable tenure/non-tenure stations, and in such cases, their order will also be considered in the interest of service.

·        All the executives completing 57 years of age as on 31st March of that particular financial year are excluded from transfers.

·        Here due to combination of mix year now there is need of separation of counting of age separately for executives to be posted to tenure stations before 31/03/2019 and after 01/04/2019.

·        The executives being posted as substitute to tenure completed executives or to meet shortage of executives before 31/03/2019, the substitute needs to be posted from the executives who will be completing age 57 years as on 31/03/2019.

·        While posting substitutes to the executives who will be completing tenure after 01/04/2019, the substitute needs to be posted from the list of Circle long stay executives who will be completing age of 57 years as on 31/03/2020.

·        The concerned executives in long stay list attending age 57 years as on 31/03/2020, may submit their willingness and request if any accordingly.

·        The long stay list of different cadres published on 07/01/2019 were having more corrections and hence fresh & revised Circle long stay list of each cadre is published now.

·        In this revised list also there seems to be confusion as assumptions made by officers in staff section are not rightly understood by the officers working field units/offices other than staff section.

·        The executives will be posted to Tenure stations on the basis of his/her continuous stay in that particular working SSA and officer in having highest stay in present working SSA will be in top of the list and having less stay will be at respective lower level of the long stay list . The stay mentioned in “Present Working" column of annexure concerned and position of long stay is decided on basis of the stay.

·        The data mentioned under Circle Stay column has no relation to the posting to tenure stations, but this data will be used in case of posting of officers out of territory of Maharashtra Circle mainly to all India Hard Tenure stations.  

·        It would have been better that two separate list of Circle long stay and SSA long stay were prepared and published separately.

·        This time only list of SSA Stay was required for posting substitute to tenure stations, so that it would have been easy to understand by all. 

·        Hence one has to be very careful while ascertaining his position in the long stay list and correctness of the Date of Birth /age and correct Date of joining/Stay in present /working SSA, should be ascertained and in case of any corrections same needs to be intimated to AGM Staff my email latest by 19/01/2019.

·        In case of same date of joining in respect of two or more executives in same cadre, the seniority of long stay is decided on Date of Birth and if date of birth is also same then it is decided on training centre marks. But executives concerned from same batch and date of joining, should not wait for such last moment option and give option for suitable place as normally probability of transfers changes at any time.

·        Till anyone has doubt, he/she may contact AD Staff /AGM Staff Mumbai or DS SNEA concerned and gets doubts clarified before ascertaining any option for Circle as well as all India tenure stations in Maharashtra Circle.

·       All comrades are requested have self analysis, check the correctness of data published here, and decide about submission of willingness for Tenure stations and if decided to submit willingness then submit it in time.

·        Let us hope, this time management issues the tenure transfer orders in time bound manner and without any further delay in issuing and implementing the Tenure transfer orders from all Tenure stations in Maharashtra Circle.
