29 OCT 20: SNEA MH writes GM HR Admn Mumbai conveying Issues related to recent order issued by Electrical wing Mumbai under Looking After Arrangements for SDE Electrical and for taking corrective action as per the BSNL CO guidelines on the subject. Letter <<<>>>

 

29 OCT 20: Issues related to DGM LA and submission of options: SNEA MH is in receipt of different queries from executives asking for criteria to be followed in issuing Looking after arrangement in DGM Cadre as there is confusion among who will be shifted out of SSA, compulsions on accepting refusal, posting will be done as per seniority or as per stay in SSA in case of more number of officers hare eligible for DGM LA in same SSA etc.

In this regards, it is to inform that there are already existing guidelines to deal with such issues and same are being followed in MH Circle and will be taken care. But to clear the doubts, SNEA MH leaders have discussed the issues related to proposed DGM LA arrangements with Shri. Aman Jaiswal, GM HR Admn Mumbai on 28/10/2020 and the details of discussions are as follows.

·        Compulsions for accepting LA arrangements: In letter for calling options for DGM LA, one line is specifically and wrongly added that “no refusals will be accepted”. We have brought to his notice that there cannot be compulsion for accepting LA arrangements as there are existing BSNL CO guidelines specifically addressed to CGMT MH Circle that executives need not to be forced to join higher responsibility under look After Arrangements and copy of order is handed over to him. After going through it GM HR Admn Mumbai has agreed that there cannot be compulsion on executives in accepting Looking After arrangements and he has assured that these orders will be respected and there will not be compulsions on the members to accept orders for accepting higher responsibility under LA arrangement.  Order <<<>>>

·        Criteria for Retention in SSA if more Executives are eligible for higher responsibilities in same SSA: WE have narrated that Staff Section has published list of stay particular and nothing is mentioned on retention of transfer of executives out of SSA in case more officers are eligible in some SSA and there is shortage in other SSA. GM HR Admn Mumbai asked our views what should be criteria for same. We have shared that there are already existing guidelines for retention of senior as per seniority in DE Seniority list within SSA and junior will be shifted out. We have handed over him copy of the letter issued by BSNL CO and followed by MH Circle in all LA arrangements but doubts are created as stay particulars are published with calling options. GM HR Admn Mumbai has gone through letter and has accepted that this is correct criteria and as orders are already in existence same will be followed as done in past. Order <<<>>>

·        Posting where it is as it is basis: We have requested GM HR Admn for consideration for posting where it is as it is basis as this temporary arrangements and in case of new incumbent joins, then junior officer is reverted. In case of transfers out of SSA, same executive is again requesting for posting at home SSA in reverted cadre. GM HR Admn Mumbai informed that the efforts will be for posting on where it is as it basis to avoid cost of transfers and in case of meeting extreme shortage only the officers will be transferred first as per his option and in case no options are available then as per the seniority of the Officer as per circle seniority. In case, seniors submits his/her refusal after issuing LA orders or before issuing orders, then next senior will be given consideration for DGM LA. The options for SSAs having vacant post will be normally considered at company cost.

·        Extension of orders of DGM LA issued earlier: GM HR Admn Mumbai informed that his office has already processed proposal in file for issuing extension of earlier DGM Order and orders will be issued after approval of CGMT MH.

·        Vacancy of DGMs in Mobile wing and Circle Office Mumbai: We have discussed about filling of vacant post of DGMs in Mobile wing and Circle Office Mumbai. GM HR Admn Mumbai informed that till the norms have not been published by BSNL CO for justifying posts of executives in Mobile wing and Circle Office Mumbai and hence no vacancies are shown and also no option has been called so far. The posting of DGMs in both the units will be decided later.

·        Meeting Shortage of SDEs/DEs created due to DGM LA: We have brought to his notice that there is already shortage of DEs in Maharashtra Circle and after DGM LA, there will be post of DEs will also be filled under Looking after arrangements from SDE to DE and vacancies created in SDE cadre will be filled in under JTO to SDE LA for which already authorization is given to SSA/BA Heads to fill SDE/DE post locally. He further added that as per the norms available and total number of executives available in MH Circle all post can be filled in from existing executives under look after arrangements.  

 

29 OCT 20: AD Staff A Mumbai issued orders for Looking After Arrangements from DE/AGM to DGM post to cover up back dated period. Letter <<<>>>

·        This is special order to cover up the period in which certain DEs/AGMs have worked as DGM LA, but extension order was not issued by Staff Section.

·        These Looking After arrangements were required to be issued in Month of March 2020, but same are not issued and now covering orders are issued in which Period of officiating is mentioned against each officer depending upon his earlier order for DGM LA and completion of 179 days thereafter and giving /showing gap/break of three days in continuation as DGM LA.

·        Some additional DE/AGMs are orders to look after as AGM covering some of vacant post of DGMs for which options have been called and last date of submission of option is 31/10/2020.

·        Thus 16 post out if total 51 posts of DGMs declared vacant in different SSAs as per earlier letter are now filled and options needs to be submitted for remaining 35 DGM posts.

·        The period of some of Officers in small SSAs is shown ending as 30/10/2020 because  the BA consolidation is declared implemented w.e.f 01/10/2020 and as per this order no post of DGMs exists in these SSAs as Area Operation Head will be DE/AGM level Officer.

·        This long stay list will be operated for filling vacant post or posting substitute to SDE C on completion of All India Hard tenure Stations.

·        This list may also be operated to meet shortage of executives in some of Circle and hence all the SDEs in Civil wing will have to check for correctness of his/her stay particulars and get it corrected to avoid any untimely transfer due to wrong stay.

28 OCT 20: DGM Admn Mumbai issued orders for withdrawal of order issued by his office for reimbursement of fixed line services/FTTH services from other private Operators in residential service connections of BSNL Officers.  Letter <<<>>>

·        This order dated 16/11/2018 which is withdrawn today, was biased and illegal order forcefully issued by then CGMT MH Circle due to his dispute with officers in MTNL Mumbai on certain issues.

·        The dispute raised continued to such level that then CGMT MH dared to disconnect all working Connections in Circle Office, Mumbai and residence of certain selected officers and opted for connections of Airtel which was unethical, illegal and unwanted for BSNL which is one of the reputed PSUs.

·        This issue was strongly opposed only by SNEA MH putting all facts and figures on papers to such extremely biased, egoistic and personalized actions of then CGMT MH. Such strong oppose only by SNEA MH was one of reason that then CGMT MH become extremely biased with SNEA and taken vindictive actions against CS SNEA MH and DS SNEA Mumbai by misusing office position.

·        When SNEA MH opposed this orders by tooth and nail, leaders of some of other associations and unions either kept mum or directly/indirectly joined hands with then CGMT MH Circle thereby giving him free hand for all such illegal activities against interest of BSNL and MTNL and mainly diverting customer base from PSUs to private companies.

·        Some of Unions leaders have indirectly supported this illegal action by then CGMT MH by giving letters that MTNL services are very poor and hence allow us for opting for taking connections from private operators and naturally such letters were given on demand by management to justify the entry of Airtel in HQ of BSNL Maharashtra Circle and in residence of selected Officers. It was also unfortunate that some of SNEA Ex leaders which can be counted on figure tips also supported this move of CGMT MH for reasons best known to them.

·        Its fact that though many of executives in Circle Office Mumbai did not oppose the decision directly, but majority of executives played important role in stopping Airtel connections by not using AirTel Connections as no calls were made by majority of executives have not made calls from Airtel Number and give conclusive shape to restore MTNL connections in BSNL Office.

·        SNEA MH has raised this issue with then CGMT MH, GM Vigilance Mumbai, Director CFA BSNL, Director HR BSNL, CMD BSNL, ED MTNL and Hon. Minister of State Communication, Govt of India and continuously pursued it at all levels. With such continuous persuasion, finally in December 2019, it was ordered to cancel the Airtel connections provided in Circle Office Mumbai and to restore MTNL Connections in Circle Office Mumbai.

·        Accordingly, new MTNL connections are provided to certain officers and being provided to remaining officers in Circle Office Mumbai as work is delayed due to COVID 19 and all the office landline connections of MTNL in Circle Office Mumbai will be active within fortnight.

·        Though Office connections were restored from Airtel to MTNL in Dec 2019, till today, the Airtel connections which were working in the residence of some of selected officers were continued and bills were being reimbursed by BSNL and now orders have been issued for stopping reimbursement of Telephone bills by BSNL against all such connections from private Operators and mainly Airtel as only Airtel has managed certain officers in BSNL and no other operator has provided any connections in or to BSNL Officers.

·        With all these activities, the stand of SNEA MH for not closing MTNL connections and not to opt for Airtel Connections in BSNL office has been fully established and proved over the period. It is established that no one can misuse authority for personal ego or benefits and everybody is bound by certain ethical, legal and official orders and only time matters.

·        This is good move towards strengthening BSNL/MTNL and all PSUs and we all should proactively support such initiatives in larger interest of BSNL and should not come under blackmailing practice even by highest Officer in Maharashtra Circle in support of certain Officers in BSNL Corporate Office.

·        The AirTel connections in BSNL office and residence of some selected officers was “Black spot “ on working of PSUs like BSNL and with this order it will be cleaned to certain extent and hopefully in future no such orders are issued by BSNL which will be against the interest of BSNL and MTNL or any PSU.

28 OCT 20: SSA wise Executive Strength published on Internal Whats app Group of BSNL Officers i.e. SSA/BA Heads. Copy <<<>>>

·        Earlier, the SSA wise Executive Strength of executives was calculated and published on MH Intranet on monthly basis and it was highly appreciated by all. But same practice has been stopped since last two years and now such internal note is issued calling for confirmation from SSA/BA Heads.

·        For transparent HR working, it is required that such data is officially published for update information of all concerned Executives so that one can understand, but may be due to the fact that till norms for posting of executives under Area Operation Head i.e. executives for actual execution of works in field units is not finalized by BSNL Corporate Office and hence such data with note has been published internally on what’s app group and not on MH Intranet as done earlier.

·        It’s good that apart from LL, BB, Mobile connections, this time weightage seems to be given for Geographical area, Number of SDCAs, Total OFC Route Kms, Revenue of SSA, BTS and lease Circuits and exact weightage given needs to be confirmed for each factor.

·        As per BSNL CO letters dated 14 & 17 Jan 20 Weightage given for LL is 1.0, for LL+BB is 1.5 and for LC it is 3.0

·        As per this note all BA Heads are requested to assign workload as per this sanctioned strength and send proposal for perusal of CGMT MH.

·        All DS are requested to discuss the issues with SSA/BA Heads about the requirement of executives in their SSA/BAs before sending such proposal from SSA/BA Head as asked by GM HR Admn Mumbai.

26 OCT 20: DGM CA Mumbai issued guidelines to be followed in applying for Temporary Advances and procedure to be followed in processing and sanctioning of Temporary Advances. Letter <<<>>>

·        This issue was discussed by SNEA MH with CGMT MH and GM Fin Mumbai on 21/10/2020 and it’s nice to see that GM Fin Mumbai has immediately acted on it and issued orders.

·        Temporary advances are to be used strictly for the purpose allowed as per BSNL Guidelines.

·        If vendors are not performing and hence expenditure is to be incurred through Temporary advances in that case POs of such vendors are to be cancelled /short closed before incurring expenditure through temporary Advances.

·        Vendors should not claims any bills, during period when works are carried out through payments by Temporary advance/s.

·        Temporary advance sanctioning authority has to ensure compliance of these guidelines.

·        Now, from November 2020 onwards, Temporary advances to be applied in first week of every month.

·        IFAs have to recommend Temporary Advances should scrutinize application for absolute essential cases and in admissible /permissible heads, otherwise the same may be returned /rejected. 

·        The use of amount in Temporary Advances for purpose for which it is sanctioned and use for other purpose should be discouraged by higher authorities.

·        Outstanding Temporary Advances may be invariably adjusted within one month or amount recovered along with penal interest from holder, which are earlier guidelines reproduced now.

·        Cash payment through Temporary advances should be avoided for payment of Fuel, Electricity charges.

·        Let us hope that with these revised guidelines all the executives in need of temporary advances for day to day fixed office works

 

26 OCT 20: AD Staff Mumbai issued orders for cancellation of deputation order of JTO Mobile Goa to Mobile Kolhapur which was issued without consent of Circle Office. Letter <<<>>>

·        None of order either deputation order or this order issued by Circle office is published on intranet, but it is widely circulating on What’s app.

·        The said JTO earlier working in Mobile Kolhapur was transferred to Goa under long stay and first posted to Goa SSA. But special request was sent by DGM NSS Pune for transferring this executive from Goa SSA to Goa Mobile as special case and Circle Office issued orders for his transfer to Goa Mobile.

·        After joining to Goa Mobile officer was working in Goa Mobile and later DGM NSS Pune issued deputation order of said JTO and he was actually given additional charge of Kolhapur Mobile to look after tenancy issues of rented BTS in Kolhapur, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg SSAs in separate Vehicle allotted for this work.

·        Actually, said officer was assigned this work in addition to his works at Goa Mobile without any extra remuneration clearing facts where there is need of separate JTO for such tenancy related works.

·        It is quite possible that these works related to report on rented BTS can be taken care by JTOs/SDE posted for Mobile Mtce in SSAs , but for justifying works of extra officers posted in mobile such type of routine works are kept with separate Mobile team in SSA/BAs.

·        Till now, many such orders of deputation have been issued by office of PGM Mobile Pune especially for the executives transferred from Pune/Kolhapur Mobile and officers were shown working in transferred SSA and were practically working in the Pune/Kolhapur Mobile.

·        Mobile wing is known for such extra personal relations with senior officers from Mobile wing with PGM Mobile Pune and PGM CM Mumbai.

·        Many such transfer/retention , pick and choose transfer orders are issued specially by Mobile wing either directly or by processing files directly CGMT MH and GM HR Admn Mumbai is compelled to issue such orders.

·        While issuing such orders, it is processed in file that transfer of these officers in Mobile wing is done on Technical requirement, but later on except in few cases, it is established that the said transfer order was for total technical requirement of BSNL, but it was requirement of said individual officer, who managed his/her transfer to choice place by using good relations with PGM/GM Mobile Pune/ Nagpur and PGM CM Mumbai and finally orders were issued by GM HR Admn Mumbai.

·        But in this case, by understanding fact that GM HR Admn Mumbai will not issue orders as expected before completion of tenure at Goa, the order itself was issued by DGM NSS Pune without its copy to GM HR Admn Mumbai or CGMT MH Circle underlining the malice in issuing such special order.

·        Now, also this order will have been continued in the same manner and Tenure of Goa SSA would have been completed while working at Kolhapur SSA, but Goa SSA wrote letter to Circle Office asking clarification about the salary of said JTO from Goa SSA while he was deputed for period of more than ten months to Kolhapur Mobile.

·        Accordingly, matter has been taken note by GM HR Admn Mumbai for this illegal and out of turn deputation order issued by DGM NSS Pune with approval of PGM Mobile Pune and issued orders for cancellation of Deputation order underlining the fact that PGM Mobile and SSA/BA Heads are not empowered to issue any such transfer or even deputation orders of JTOs for inter SSA transfers.

·        In similar manner, some transfer/deputation orders are also issued by GMT Solapur, PGMT Pune, GMT Raigad, CE Elect Mumbai and hopefully GM HR Admn Mumbai will take care of all such pick and choose orders issued by concerned SSA/BA/Vertical Heads without approval of CGMT MH Circle. 

·        To avoid all such issues and unrest among other comrades, SNEA MH has always promoted for merger of Mobile unit in SSA/BA except Pune Nodal Centre, and order were issued, but due to pressure for justifying posts of PGM/GM/DGMs in Pune /Nagpur Mobile such orders were reverted back and about 147 executives are still working in different SSAs, who are not reporting to SSA /BA Heads but are reporting to PGM/GM/DGM Mobile at Pune /Nagpur.

·        In guidelines for consolidation of BAs, the entire work of Mobile Mtce is shown under BA Heads, but till efforts are going on for separate working of Mobile wing justifying few post of senior officers in Pune and Nagpur.

·        Let us hope that such out of turn activities are stopped once for all by giving total control of Mobile Mtce works under SSA/BA Heads and only Nodal Centre should be allowed to continue as separate unit as it requires special technical expertise and it is working for all Circles in West Zone.

 

26 OCT 20: AGM Staff/Rect Mumbai writes SSA/BA/vertical Heads calling for documents and recommendations for closure of cases of caste validity complaints wherein reservation benefits were not availed by the concerned executive/employee during appointment or in any promotion during service period. Letter <<<>>>

This is good initiative taken by Circle Management and hopefully executives who have not availed benefits of reservation during appointment and in promotions, but against whom complaint of Fake Caste Certificate is pending will definitely get relief if the cases are sent by SSAs with required documents and recommendations from SSA Heads.

23 OCT 20: Meeting with CGMT MH Circle on different current HR and Development issues: Delegation of SNEA MH had meeting with Shri. Manoj Kumar Mishra, CGMT MH Circle on 21/10/2020 in his chamber and we have discussed different current HR and Development issues

At the outset we conveyed thanks to CGMT MH for his initiatives for Consideration of JTO Rule 8/Rule 9 request of JTOs, Consideration of Request of executives from tenure stations, initiating process for confirmation process for JTOs/JAOs, consideration of TBPs cases and other issues in the interest of executives in BSNL and giving relief to all. Other details of discussions is as follows.

1.     Frequent Failure of WTR OFC Routes and hardship in field units: We have brought to the notice of CGMT MH about frequent failure of major OFC routes by WTR and mainly issue of not having reliable media between Mumbai-Pune, Pune–Satara-Kolhapur, Sangli-Solapur, Goa-Mumbai, Aurangabad-Nagpur, Nanded-Parbhani and Solapur Pune. WE added that there is much increase in use of Data with addition of more and more number of FTTH Connections and such failures is directing impacting the customer base of BSNL. We have added that the issue of Mumbai-Pune OFC route has become critical due to heavy traffic and its failure affects entire Maharashtra Circle from Goa to Bhandara SSA. CGMT MH informed that this is to be taken care by WTR and he has already discussed this issue with CGM WTR and efforts are being taken at WTR to have media stability on these routes. We have brought to notice of CGMT MH that attending fault is OK, but there is need of alternate OFC either on different routes viz. for Pune –Mumbai either via Khopoli –Kalyan –Thane or via Alephata,-Murbad-Kalyan –Thane or by hiring fiber from other private operators. We also added that BSNL CO has asked for requirement of fibre on barter system from Vodafone which has availability of fibre on these routes including Mumbai-Pune Route. Only issue is availability of fibre within Pune City, where BSNL fibre can be used. WE also requested to ascertain laying of BDSNL higher size OFC on Mumbai-Pune Route as it will be required in days to come to meet high traffic demand in days to come. CGMT MH assured to look into all such issues and assured for stable OFC Media all Over Maharashtra by taking up issues at all levels.

2.     Clearing payments of Temporary Advances pending in ERP for long time: We have drawn attention of CGMT MH on delay in sanction of Temporary advances even though same are duly recommended by SSA/BA. We have conveyed thanks to CGMT MH for his sincere and special efforts for releasing Temporary advances to all VRS opted executives and we requested similar action for releasing all pending Temporary advances. We also informed that Temporary advances are pending for months together and executives in the field units are compelled to pay from pockets and many of executives have paid lakhs of rupees from pocket and are waiting for sanction of advances against the work which are already done. CGMT MH informed that there is shortage of funds and sufficient funds are not allotted by BSNL Corporate office and he is managing from certain amount being released by BSNL CO. We requested that the application/requests for Temporary Advances even with due recommendations of SSA/BA Heads are pending in ERP for months together and all of sudden all such requests are cancelled /closed stating reasons like Account Closure, the request of one year cannot be carried forward and so on. Finally, the victims are Officers working in field units. We specially requested for putting written request to BSNL CO for special allotment of funds for clearing all pending Temporary Advances as one time action. CGMT MH immediately discussed it with GM Fin Mumbai and directed for accessing the total data of Pending Temporary Advances and put up letter to BSNL CO demanding funds for clearing all pending Temporary advances as one time measure. 

3.     Regularization of Procedure for grant of Temporary advances: We have drawn attention of CGMT MH on present procedure of dual sanction of Temporary advances first by applying in ERP with sanction of SSA/BA Head and secondly by What’s app message to GM Fin or CGMT MH and in these cases some of SSA/BA Heads are reluctant even taking important request for grant of Temporary Advances and some of SSA/BA Heads are able to get all Temporary advance sanctioned. Also, there should be scrutiny at the level of SSA/BA Heads in sanctioning of Temporary advances in ERP and once it is approved it should be released by CSC Mumbai as per the availability /allotment of funds by BSNL CO. We also drawn attention that some of SSAs having active and alert SSA/BA Heads are getting more funds and some of SSAs not having active/alter SSA Heads are getting less amount of Temporary advance and there should be some specific procedure for sanction of Temporary advances. CGMT MH agreed our concern and conveyed GM Fin Mumbai to issue orders for streamlined procedure for allotment of Temporary advances. He also directed that there should be some celling on grant of Temporary advances per SDE/JTO in particular month and minimum Temporary Advance needs to be allotted to all officers in Field units. GM Fin informed that now allotment of impress has been stopped and allotment of such fixed amount is not possible and  Temporary advances are granted only for specific works. We conveyed that we are aware about it and our request is for grant of temporary Advances against specific works as requested by concerned Officer and recommended by SSA/BA Heads. We added that once Temporary Advance is recommended by SSA/BA Head, it should be allotted by Circle Office and it should not be closed at any time for any reason except release of Temporary Advances. We also requested to grant Temporary advances on specific norms so that it is allotted as per requirement recommended by SSA/BA Heads with proper scrutiny against works and there is should not be need of special recommendations on What’s app by SSA/BA Heads once it is recommended in ERP. If there is need of scrutiny and curtailment then it should be done at the level of SSA? BA and Vertical heads and once recommended in ERP should be approved. After elaborate discussions on this issue, finally CGMT MH informed that his office will formulate and issue fresh guidelines for submission of request Temporary advance, its scrutiny at level of SSA/BA Head, maximum and minimum amount which can be sanctioned for one particular SDE/JTO or Division depending on norms like working lines or average expenditure required for such special works in field units, fixing time for submission of application in first week of every month and allotment of funds against Temporary advances in second or third week of that month and closure of all such request of Temporary advances for which funds are not allotted by end of that month. CGMT MH specifically informed that no request of Temporary advance should be kept pending at end of month i.e. either Temporary Advance will be sanctioned or rejected and the request in ERP will be closed. In conclusion, CGMT MH directed GM Fin Mumbai to discuss the issues with other vertical heads and formulate uniform guidelines streamlining procedure for allotment of Temporary advances by all the officers in the field units as per requirement.

4.     Release of pending payment of Contract Workers: We have elaborated the hardship faced by the contract workers due to nonpayment of their dues by BSNL and concerned contractors for months together. WE added that during this pandemic situation also, these contract workers are providing services with sincerity and devotion even though their dues are not paid for months together. This has become serious issue in the field and the officers working in the field units are facing its heat. Though with his intervention some funds are released but till major amount is pending and needs immediate action for releasing payments of all contract workers. CGMT MH informed that he is aware about the difficulties as being pursued by field units. Now no contract workers are to be engaged by any SSA/Unit and all works are to be done on job basis. For pending payments, he informed that the details of pending payment of contract workers has been consolidated and sent to BSNL CO asking for allotment of funds. He added that it’s expected that certain funds will be released in phase manner but all the dues of contract works will be cleared within period 2-3 months.

5.     Actual and practical implementation of Mergers of SSAs with BA: We requested CGMT MH that though there are guidelines for effective working of BAs and Area Operations w.e.f. 01/10/2020, practically nothing is implemented in field units. There are issues in day to day operations and maintenance and there is confusion among different Officers and many of the administrative works are till carried out at SSAs. CGMT MH informed that there is no change in BA Structure in Maharashtra Circle and all 14 BAs continue with the SSAs earlier merged with BAs. Hence concerned SSA/BA has to take action for effective merger of SSAs with BAs and it is being taken care by concerned BA Heads and quoted example of Dhule SSA where work has started. CGMT MH was optimistic that the transformation of SSAs in into Area Operation Offices will be done smoothly and if required and requested by BA Heads, necessary support will be extended by Circle Office.

6.     Rearrangements of SSA/BA Heads as per the norms: We have drawn attention of CGMT MH on need of rearrangement of SSA/BA Heads after consolidation of BAs and how some of SSAs are headed by PGM level Officer and how post of BA Head is Nanded vacant. CGMT MH informed that it is only issues with Dhule and Sangli SSA and necessary orders for rearrangement of these SSAs along with changes in some of BA Heads on are expected within week’s period. He added that all post of BA Heads including Nanded will be field up by GM/PGM level Officers and all the post of DGM/DE Head of Area Operation Offices i.e. SSAs will be filled under look after arrangements by calling willingness from eligible DEs.

7.     Looking After arrangement in DGM/AGM/CAO/SDE/AO Cadres: We have informed CGMT MH that there are many post from SDEs to DEs are vacant in all wings and all SSAs and different criteria is applied for look After Arrangements. There is uncertainty among officers about orders and issuing revised orders for continuation of Looking after Arrangements. CGMT MH informed that the proposal for DGM Locking After Arrangements in Telecom wing has been approved by him today and similar action will be taken to fill up vacant post of AGMs/CAOs/EES and SDEs/AOs by calling willingness among eligible Officers.

8.     Consideration of Rule 8/ Rule 9 Request of JAOs: We requested CGMT MH to give consideration to the 20-25 pending request of JAOs under Rule 8 and Rule 9 transfers to different Circle at par with JTOs. We conveyed the difficulties faced by these JAOs due certain critical family issues who are eagerly waiting for transfer to their Home Circle/SSA/ There is good number of JAOs available in Maharashtra Circle as compared to other Circles also number of requests are also less in number. WE also informed that entire work preliminary work for considering these requests has been completed at Staff section and his instructions to proceed further will give justice to all these comrades waiting for quiet long time. CGMT MH informed that he is aware about issue and assured that all Rule 8 and Rule 9 transfers of JAOs will be given consideration shortly.

9.     Consideration of Request Transfers from Non Tenure SSAs: We have elaborated the difficulties and hardship faced by executives working at Non Tenure Stations who are waiting for their transfers for long time. It has been assured to consider the request transfer but due to one and another reason it is delayed. WE requested to give consideration to all request transfers from Non tenure stations. CGMT MH informed that there are issues in consideration of request transfers due to non-finalization of Staffing Norms and after repeated assurances, same is not yet released by BSNL. He added that he has started process for consideration of request transfers and in first phase request transfers to Circle Office Mumbai will be given consideration. Thereafter, request transfer from and to other SSAs having shortage, one to one /point to point request transfers will be given consideration. We requested to give early consideration of all eligible transfers and CGMT MH assured for it.

10.            Unrest among executives on Transfers being issued on pick and choose basis: We have narrated that in recent past the new and pick and choose method seems to be adopted for consideration of request transfers that to be only for the individuals who are able to meet certain Officers in Circle office Mumbai and explain their difficulties in person. It is not possible for all individuals to visit Circle office and explain their issues and difficulties and hence it is required on part of management instead of considering such individual cases, all request needs to be given consideration. We stressed that if not possible all, at least request of similar type i.e. if it medical case, spouse working, or from SSAs having excess to shortage executives should be given consideration in one stroke. CGMT MH agreed to concern expressed by us and assured to give consideration to all other such request shortly.

11.            Casual approach in counting of long stay of executives issuing orders with wrong stay: We have narrated the recent incidence of issuing transfer orders by wrong counting of stay and transferring officer with less stay by keeping aside name of officer who is in actual long stay. This created hardship to individual and CGMT MH assured to look into it and take corrective action and to issue directions for checking and confirmation of stay before issuing transfer orders.

12.            Relieving of Executives under transfer from Tenure stations: We have elaborated the difficulties and hardship faced by the executives working at tenure stations even after 8-10 months of completion of Tenure. These Executives have understood the situation on COVID Lockdown period and continued with full devotion. Now orders are issued, but there is total reluctance in part of concerned SSA/BA Heads in relieving of these executives. We categorically mentioned the issues in Sindhudurg SSA and posting of more and more officers in Sindhudurg SSA as about 40 Executives are posted for about 17000 working lines and comparatively there is more shortage or excess workload to executives in other SSAs. Even after issuing orders and some executives have joined in tenure SSA, relieving of executives is not being implemented. By considering their hardship and genuine difficulties we requested for issuing orders for ERP relieving of these officers and give relief to all these tenure completed executives and eagerly waiting to get relived to join with their families. CGMT MH informed that he is aware about the difficulties of these executives and already action has been taken for relieving of executives from Tenure SSAs. He added that he has discussed this issue with SSA/BA Head of Gadchiroli today and he has assured to relieve all the executives under transfer from Gadchiroli to their choice SSA. CGMT MH further assured that in similar manner, he will discuss this issue with all SSA/BA Heads for ensuring relieving of all these officers. We narrated much concern on stand taken by Sindhudurg SSA for not relieving officers till one to one substitute joined and we have shared details of work load with each executives and how all can be relived with local rearrangements. In conclusion CGMT MH informed that he will personally discuss with all SSA/BA Heads to see that all the tenure completed executives will be relieved in time bound manner.

13.            Posting of Excess Executives to Sindhudurg SSA: We have updated CGMT MH about the fact that wrong information is being passed to Circle Management about extreme shortage of executives in Sindhudurg SSA and till one to one substitute is posted to SDE/JTO under transfer from Sindhudurg will be relived. We have given facts and figures of work load of each and every officer in Sindhudurg SSA and brought to notice of CGMT MH that additional posting of executives by Special order for Sindhudurg SSA is unwanted and will create wrong trend and is unwanted expenditure on transfers in the interest of service. CGMT assured to look into concern expressed by SNEA and decide accordingly

14.            Review of posting of executives to and from Mobile wing: We have informed that in recent guidelines issued by BSNL CO for posting in Mobile section, no separate Mobile wing is shown and the Mobile wing executives are shown under BA/SSA Heads. We also added that one side management says that there are excess Executives in Mobile wing and other side additional officers are being posted in Mobile wing making it more excess. There is shortage of executives in SSAs even for Mobile Mtce works and there is no justification in posting additional officers to only to Mobile wing. CGMT MH conveyed that there are excess officers in Mobile wing and action is being taken for rearrangements of executives to justify the works. The recent posting to Mobile was done on expertise in Nodal works as per recommendations of PGM CM Mumbai. The detail justification for posting of Officers n Mobile wing is being done by GM HR Admn Mumbai and accordingly excess executives at any unit will be rearranged.

15.            One time action for grant of Tenure Facility for filling vacant post in Parbhani SSA: We informed that management is taking continuous efforts for posting executives to Parbhani SSA and some of orders are cancelled for one or other reason and shortage at Parbhani SSA continues. We reminded CGMT MH about our earlier suggestion/request for consideration of granting one time tenure facility to the executives who will be opting to Parbhani SSA. We have already quoted such actions by BSNL Corporate office for filling vacant posts and to meet acute shortage in particular Circle/SSA. CGMT MH expressed that it is good idea and directed us to submit proposal in detail He also added that similar steps were taken by him earlier in WTP and in such cases in transfer and posting order of these executives the date of relieving order from that posted SSA was mentioned. WE assured him to submit the proposal at the earliest.

16.            Issues with Posting of Executives to WTR: WE have brought to notice of CGMT MH in consideration of request transfers from MH Circle to WTR and specifically issues created in posting of JTO WTR Gadchiroli. Many officers are posted to WTR and there are certain officers who are working in WTR having stay higher than the long styed officer in Maharashtra Circle, but for posting at Gadchiroli certain compulsions are created certain officers and it is beyond understanding. One JTO who has joined at Gadchiroli SSA and shifted family is again compelled by transferring to WTR Gadchiroli, others who are willing are not given consideration and there is need of review for present practice of posting officers at specific place by Maharashtra Circle. CGMT MH assured that the matter of posting to WTR Gadchiroli will be reviewed and corrective action will be taken.

17.            Wrong procedure followed in giving LA Arrangements for SDE Elect post: We have narrated the entire issue how the officers in Electrical wing have wrongly interpreted the orders for deployment of Officers under Look After arrangements. We categorically pointed out the guidelines say that local officer is to be ordered to look after arrangements to fill up vacant post and not by created and abolishing the posts. We have updated that some of SSAs have excess SDEs in Electrical wing and some of SSAs do not have even single SDE is Electrical wing. AS per orders from BSNL CO, the JTO Electrical senior in SSA was to be given SDE Elect under Looking after arrangements to fill up vacant post and not to give SDE LA to all senior officers from that SSAs. We also elaborated that we have discussed this issue with CE Elect and GM HR Admn Mumbai and both agrees with the concern raised by SNEA and pointing out fingers with other for corrective action. We added that GM HR Admn has informed that number of posts is to be decided by CE Elect and he cannot act on it and has assured to look into grievances if conveyed in writing. CGMT MH gave patient listening to issue and assured to look into it and corrective action as per norms to fill up vacant post of SDE Electrical in SSAs like Nashik, Nanded and Sindhudurg.

18.            Centralization of Civil and Elect wing HR activities as that of Account wing: We have narrated issues created due to partial merger of Civil, Electrical and Account wing in Staff section and delicacy of works. We have narrated incidents that how transfer orders are issued by Staff section as well by Electrical wing on selective basis and there is no streamline procedure. CGMT MH informed that the concern of association will be taken care and he will discuss these issues with GM HR Admn Mumbai and then decide.

19.            Proper merger of Electrical and Civil wing in Telecom at SSA: We narrated the hardship faced by the executives in Civil and Electrical wing due to dual reporting and giving dual work of Civil/Elect wing as well as Telecom wig and how the concerned officers are facing hardship in giving justification to the both the type of works. We requested that these executives should report to SSA/BA Heads and dual reporting should be stopped and the work assigned may be either from Electrical/Civil wing or from Telecom wing/ We also requested that HR activities of Civil Electrical wing should be totally merged with SSA and their grievances should be given die consideration by SSA/BA Heads. CGMT MH informed that as per revised norms the executives in Civil/Electrical wing in SSAs will report to SSA/BA Heads and merger demand will be automatically settled. But in Circle Office Mumbai, separate wing of Electrical and Civil wing will continue to function.

20.            Release of withheld Leave Encashment /Ex Garcia of VRS Opted Executives: We informed CGMT MH that Staff/Recruit Section Mumbai has kept on hold the withheld Leave Encashment /Ex Garcia of VRS Opted Executives on name of pending cases wherein BSNL Corporate Office has repeatedly issued guidelines for releasing leave encashment. Also there are certain office whose vigilance clearance is issued and no case is pending as on VRS date or till today, but under fear of certain issues, their amount is kept on hold. We also narrated that TA/DA of certain officers has bene kept on held for unknown reasons. Due to this casual approach there is much rest among the VRS opted executives who have not received Leave encashment or Ex-gratia amount and are feeling that they are deliberately harassed. CGMT MH informed that leave encashment and ex-gratia amount of all except the executives whose names appears in Caste validity case or whose VC withheld is released. Till VC is clear, the dues of such officers cannot be cleared. For releasing the amount of leave encashment and other retirement benefits of executives in caste validity case is sent to BSNL Corporate and further course of action will be taken as per clarification from BSNL CO. We requested to give it fast consideration so that the affected executives will get justice.

21.            Pay fixation of then JTO Offg. who have opted for VRS: We have narrated issues in fixation pay of VRS opted then Officiating JTOs as per the recent orders from BSNL CO. We have requested that it is also priority work to finalize the amount ex-gratia and there reminders have been issued by Estt Section Mumbai. But the work of revised pay fixation is not done as service books are available with CCA and same are not returned by CCA after repeated reminders from SSAs. CGMT MH informed that as issue is related to CCA, association should submit the brief note on it so that matter can be taken up with CCA Mumbai for returning service book of all VRS Opted then Offg JTOs. Releasing of amount of VRS Opted executives whose service books are not handed over to CCA.

In conclusion we conveyed thanks to CGMT MH with hopes for early resolution of the issues discussed.

·        The willingness has been called for filling up all 51 post of DGMs and last date for submission of willingness by email on adstaffbmhco@gmail.com is 31/11/2020.

·        The list of all DEs working in Maharashtra Circle as per the continuous stay in particular SSA is published. There are still correction in stay of some of DEs/AGMs and individuals will have to send request for its corrections by email with recommendations of SSA/BA Heads.

·        From the vacancy position and availability of DEs/AGMs, it is clear that except few SSAs, it is quite possible to give DGM LA as it is where it is basis.

·        In this letter one line is specifically and wrongly added that “no refusals will be accepted” even though in such attempt to make compulsions in LA arrangements by then CGMT MH, BSNL CO has issued clear guidelines specifically to CGMT MH Circle that executives need not to be forced to join higher responsibility under look After Arrangements. Copy <<<>>>

Letter  <<<>>> 

·        SNEA MH has received queries from many of activists that when there is increase in the post of DGMs/AGMs/DEs in about all SSAs why only fee post of SDEs are shown in this calculations and it is injustice to SDEs and JTOs.

·        In this regards it is to inform that this calculation of strength of executives is only for Office of BA Heads and Office of Area Operation Head in SSA and the requirement of JTOs/SDEs and DEs in field units is being calculated and same also will be published shortly.

·        As per revised norms, there will be decrease in number of post of SDEs/JTOs in SSAs and increase in these posts in SSAs having Head Quarters of BA.

 

21 OCT 20: AGM Elect BSNL CO calls for willingness/options from SDE Elect with more than 25 years stay in any particular Circle for posting at Assam, NE-I, NE-II , J&K and  Jharkhand Circles. Letter <<<>>>

·        Similar willingness were called earlier also, but only few have responded and till post of SDEE are vacant in these Circle. It seems that to get more options, this time criteria of stay of 25 years is applied.

·        The last date for submission of willingness/options is 30/10/2020.

·        The stay of SDEs will be counted from his/her entry in JTO Cadre and one has to submit option only if he has completed continuous stay of 25 years in particular Circle.

·        Also, as per transfer policy Executive with age 55 years and more as on 31/03/2021, is not be posted to all India Hard Tenure stations and in such cases SDE with continuous Circle stay more than 25 years, but age above 55 years, need out to submit option for All India hard Tenure Station, but he/she may be transferred to Jharkhand Circle if age as on 31/03/2021 is less than 57 years.

·        Submission of options is not mandatory, but in such cases posting of SDE with age less than 55 years and with continuous stay more than 25 years in particular Circle to Jharkhand Circles is quiet possible.

·        It would have been better if willingness would have been called by declaring number of vacant post of SDE Elect in these Circles along with Circle stay particulars of executives with continuous service of 25 years in particular Circle.

·        Posting in all these Circles except in Jharkhand Circle will be posting to all India Hard Tenure Stations and SDE Elect giving option for it will get benefits of all India Hard tenure Stations.

·        Individuals, may have self-analysis of stay, age and other factors and then only decide to submit option/willingness.

21 OCT 20: GM HR Admn Mumbai writes all SSA/BA Heads Use of BSNL Email service for official communication. As per the circular dated 08/12/2017. Letter  <<<>>>  

·        The contents of letter for use of only BSNL ID for official communication are highly appreciated.

·        But constraints in using BSNL email for office works are well known to one and all and hence for all email communications from SSAs to BSNL Corporate office, including highest Officers in BSNL Management, all are using Gmail or other email ID and BSNL email ID is least used rather not used by majority of officers.

·        Also, the work of migration of BSNL email id on NIC server is going on along with works of e file management system and till time the e-file system is not implemented in all SSAs it is difficult to use only BSNL email ID as expected in this letter by GM HR Admn Mumbai.

·        It can be seen that different officers in BSNL Corporate Office and in Circle Office including different officers in IT section as well as officers under GM HR Admn Mumbai are using emails other than BSNL email ID as such this letter will be one more formal letter and such orders can be implemented in true sense only if the Capacity constraints and hardship in using BSNL email ID are taken care to its root cause.

·       Let us hope that BSNL email ID is made useful in all respect so that all Officers in BSNL use only and only BSNL email ID as conveyed in this special letter.

21 OCT 20: AD Staff B Mumbai issued orders of Com. P. A. Shah SDE who has completed All India Tenure Hard Tenure in J&K Circle and he is posted to Nashik SSA as per his request. Letter <<<>>>

 

20 OCT 20: AD Staff B Mumbai issued orders for extension of powers of SSA/BA Heads for deployment of staff and officers up to AGM/DE grade under local Looking After Arrangements up to 31/12/2020. Letter  <<<>>> 

·        In earlier orders BSNL Corporate office has issued extension up to 31/12/2020, but in Maharashtra Circle extension was issued up to 30/09/2020 and as nothing has happened on restructuring by that date, this order is being now extended at par with BSNL CO Order up to 31/12/2020. 

·        This order is implanted in biased manner and it is used only for officers in Telecom Wing and the Looking after arrangements for officers from Electrical, Account wing are being issued centrally from Mumbai.

·        It is failure of BSNL Corporate office that even after completion of one year of VRS 2019, till today no staffing norms are issued and it is expected to have much efficient working from the filed units.

·        The efficient working needs to be started from BSNL Corporate Office and then only same can be expected from the filed units, but this issue is kept undecided from last one year and executives are kept under tension of additional workload without any proper rearrangements to have efficient and smart working expected after VRS 2019.

 

20 OCT 20: AD Staff B Mumbai issued special transfer and posting order of Four SDFEs and Four JTOs from different Non tenure SSAs as per the Circle long stay list and all eight Officers are posted to Sindhudurg SSA as additional workforce than the justified workforce. Letter  <<<>>> 

·        In recent past, the Circle Office Mumbai has issued transfer orders of Tenure completed executives from all tenure SSAs and substitute were posted as per the justified norms before orders for consolidation of BAs as per recent orders from BSNL CO.

·        In that scenario, as per calculations done by GM HR Admn Mumbai, excess executives were posted than the justified strength thereby giving consideration to request of all officers and who have opted for Tenure SSA including Sindhudurg SSA and many of them are posted at Own Cost even though it is tenure stations.

·        Apart from this some JEs are posted in excess to Sindhudurg SSA and after BA consolidation orders, there are excess Executives in Sindhudurg SSA as compared to other SSAs from where the executives are transferred.

·        Hence as per the justification calculated by GM HR Admn Mumbai, there were chances that the all officers under transfer from tenure Stations would have been relieved without substitute and some more willingness were required to be considered without substitute.

·        But, BA Head Kolhapur under which Sindhudurg SSA comes has taken stand that no officer from Sindhudurg SSA will be relieved till one to one substitute is posted and he has conveyed it to CGMT MH in writing.

·        Meantime, political pressure was created for posting additional Officers in Sindhudurg SSA and accordingly complaints were made to BSNL Corporate Office, thereby creating huge pressure of CGMT MH for posting additional Executives with stand that no executive will be relieved till one to one substitute is joined in Sindhudurg SSA.

·        Finally, CGMT MH has to bend under such pressure from all sides thereby posting these eight more officers i.e. SDEs/JTOs to Sindhudurg SSAs as special order.

·        The pressure on CGMT MH is so huge that under this pressure one of JTO working at Nandurbar which is Circle tenure Station is transferred to Sindhudurg SSA against guidelines for posting substitute to Tenure SSAs.

·        It is fact that BA/SSA Heads who dares to speak to CGMT MH on issues with firm stand are given consideration by out of tur ways and the others who do not have such direct interaction with CGMT MH are not getting any staff even though some own cost request are pending for these SSAs.

·        Hope this excess posting of executives will be helpful for relieving all officers under transfer from Sindhudurg SSA and all the executives will get relief from ongoing torture for last six months.

·        This is wrong trend started in Maharashtra Circle for removing executives from SSA having shortage of executives but SSA/BA Heads are not able to bring it to the notice of CGMT MH in proper way and posting them in mass to SSAs having even excess executives but where BA/SSA Head is/are able to maintain /create pressure on CGMT MH, will be damaging to the working of BSNL.

·       SNEA MH will take up this pick and choose approach in dealing with transfers of executives to see that equal treatment is given to all SSAs as per equal justification to all SSAs.

19 OCT 20: AGM Estt Mumbai formally endorsed the letter by Director HR BSNL Board for verification of calculation of Ex-gracia amount in respect of retirees under BSNL VRS 2019 in cases where the amount calculated in ERP data by BSNL and PPO data by CCA for different reasons viz. last pay drawn, date of joining, date of birth and Time Bound promotions. Letter  <<<>>>  

·        It is unfortunate that out of total 2178 such pending cases all Over India, here also Maharashtra Circle has highest pendency of 897 cases with 41% and such pendency is one of reason for delayed payment final and fourth installment of ex –gracia to all the VRS Opted executives.

·        Let us hope Maharashtra Circle responds to this letter and settle the issues with CCA Mumbai and the concern of BSNL in getting correct ex-gracia amount from DoT to all VRS Optees is given conclusive result in true sense and 4th installment which was due by end of June 2020 is paid to all at least by end of Oct 2020 i.e. after period of four months delay.

·        It seems that letter by Director HR on this subject are shown dust bin in casual approach and its really serious matter on part of organization.

·        VRS 2019 is implemented in January 2020 and it was ordered and expected that leave encashment will be paid by end of Feb 2020, but unfortunately after passing eight months also these officers and staff are made to suffer due to negligent approach of certain officers may be due to approach of understanding of the issues and hardship of these sufferers by certain officers at different level and offices.

·        It is reported that there is dispute on understanding of issues by Maharashtra Circle and CCA Mumbai and issues are not resolved even after meetings at higher level by CGMT MH and CCA Mumbai.

·        Hope this letter will be taken seriously by both the offices and responsible officers at both the ends and leave encashment payment is released for all these 229 pending cases or reasons for nonpayment of leave encashment are intimated to these individuals along with compliance to Director HR.

·        If not BSNL Corporate Office, should fix responsibility because it is now crystal clear that such repeated reminders directly from Director HR BSNL will not solve the issue to final conclusive solution.

 6 OCT 20: EE HQ Mumbai issued Looking After arrangements from JTO Elect to SDE Elect cadre for period of 179 days with immediate effect wherein 22 JTOs in Electrical wing are given responsibility of SDE Electrical with functional powers i.e. Administrative and as well as financial powers. Order <<<>>>

·        It is good that the executives working as JTO for long time are given responsibility of SDE Elect under Look after Arrangements under where it is as it is basis.

·        The orders for looking After arrangements are normally issued for filling temporary vacancies created due to different reasons, but since last spell, Electrical wing is following different method for giving looking After arrangements and in some SSAs excess Executives are given responsibility of SDE Elect and in some SSAs no local Officer is given responsibility of SDE Electrical keeping post vacant or by giving charge to SDE LA in other SSAs and this tradition continues in this spell also.

·        As per recent BSNL CO guidelines, the Look After arrangements are to be given locally wherein the senior most local executives in lower cadre is to be given higher responsibility to fill up the vacant post if any.

·        Same procedure is followed in Telecom and Account wing, but in the Electrical wing looking after arrangement is given to certain executives by creating extra post of SDEs and some of vacant post of SDEs/EEs and SEs are not filled thereby depriving the some specific officers from giving higher responsibility.

·        This issue was raised by SNEA MH earlier with all concerned including CGMT MH, and it was assured by all that same will be corrected in next spell of SDEE LA arrangements.

·        But it seems that due to wrong understanding of some of officers in Electrical wing and not going to the depth by officers in Staff sections, the wrong procedure is followed in SDE Elect LA arrangements being issued centrally by Electrical wing Mumbai.

·        Actually, the work of HR activities for all wings including Electrical wing is centralized under GM HR Admn Mumbai, but Electrical wing continues to issue some pick and choose orders as well as such orders for Look After arrangements when one special JTO Electrical is posted in Staff Section Mumbai for HR activities of Electrical wing thereby making duplicity of HR works of Electrical wing. 

·        Some of SDEs given looking after in last spell are not included in this list and no justified reason is given for it.

·        Actually, there are some post of SDE Electrical vacant at SSAs like Nashik, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg and Nanded SSAs and no action has been taken to fill up these posts locally i.e. by giving charge of SDE Electrical to JTO Electrical at that SSA, but the more JTOs from other SSAs are given Looking After arrangement as SDE Electrical and they are given additional charge of SDE Elect of that SSA which is against BSNL guidelines on the subject.

·        It can be seen that Dhule SSA is having post of only one SDE Electrical and three JTOs are posted as SDE Electrical Dhule. One of such SDE Elect from Dhule is given additional charge of SDE Electrical Nashik, whereas it was required that senior most JTO Electrical at Nashik should have been given charge as SDE Electrical Nashik and only one JTO in Dhule SSA should have been given SDE Electrical under Looking After arrangements.

·        Same is case with Latur, Satara, and Raigad where more than justified post of SDEEs are created and vacant post at Nanded, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg SSA are not filled in and charge is given to SDEs in other SSAs.

·        When three SDE post are justified in small SSA like Dhule, no such additional strength of SDEs is shown in big SSAs like Pune and Nagpur.

·        There are good number of post of EEs (Executive Engineer) vacant in Maharashtra Circle and post of EE Nanded, Pune, and Nashik etc is looked after by EE at Mumbai, but no action is taken for filling vacant post of EEs at these places. 

·        It is seen that Look After arrangements, Electrical wing is using different method, Telecom wing is using different method and Account wing is using different method and there is need of synchronization and this is main purpose of centralized HR Integration under GM HR Admn Mumbai.

·        But till concerned Vertical Heads like Electrical continues to issue orders of some specific executives and others are in general are directed to meet GM HR Admn Mumbai for their grievances.

·        As per guidelines issued by BSNL Corporate Office, the powers for Looking After arrangements up to AGM/DE Cadre are given to SSA/BA Heads and DGM LA orders are issued by Circle office Mumbai.

·        But in Electrical wing even SDE LA orders are issued from Circle Office and the method adopted is wrong i.e. instead of filling vacant post, additional posts are created to give powers to more than one SDE and no efforts are made to fill vacant posts in some specific SSAs even in this second spell of SDEE Looking after Arrangements.

·        SNEA MH will again take up matter to have uniformity in Looking After Arrangements and also to have either all activities of Electrical wing are centralized and kept under GM HR Admn Mumbai or continue to be under control of concerned Vertical head so that all executives gets equal treatment in resolution of HR issues.

3 OCT 20: CMD BSNL writes to all Circle Heads to carry out the non-telecom activities of BSNL through its subsidiary company BSNL Tower Corporation Limited. Letter <<<>>>  Annexure <<<>>>

·        Formation of subsidiary Tower Company was opposed by all Unions and Association in existence earlier by holdings different agitation programs and now it seems to be supported by some associations and hence by neglecting resistance of the other Unions and Associations, the activities of this subsidiary company are started.

·        It is unfortunate that this decision of making subsidiary company active is taken on 20th BSNL Foundation day.

·        One side decision is taken for merger of MTNL having huge losses with BSNL and other side BSNL is divided in subsidiary company with separate shareholding capital to be given by BSNL.

·        BSNL is divided in subsidiary company quoting reasons like overcoming specific regulatory compliance obligations, reduction of license fee liabilities and it is not clear how these obligations /restrictions will be overcome by subsidiary company.

·        It is proposed that all Non-Telecom activities and Telecom activities where telecom component is less will be transferred from BSNL to BTCL.

·        The important works like Smart City Projects, Enterprise Business, External Projects by Civil/BW Units, empanelment of solution provider in CFA Vertical, all project works executed by SI will be part of BTCL. Apart from this Circles are directed to identify the activities to be carried out by BTCL.

·        Circles will have to identify the manpower working under the activities to be transferred to BTCL and their roles and responsibilities are to be modified accordingly.

·        Existing staff and officers carrying out these activities on part of BSNL will continue to do the same works and their salaries will be charges to BTCL.

·        The billing of customers will be done by BTCL and BSNL will bill BTCL for Telecom Components /service related only on Arm’s length principle.

·        An arm's length transaction refers to a business deal in which buyers and sellers act independently without one party influencing the other. A transaction between related parties that is conducted as if they were not related. For example, if a parent sold a child some property at a fair market price, rather than a discount, the transaction would be made at arm's length range.

·        The working capital loan/Advance to BTCL will be provided by BSNL. The authorized share capital of the Company BTCL is Rs.10,000,00,00,000 [ Rupees Ten Thousand Crores Only] divided into 750,00,00,000 (Seven Hundred and Fifty Crores ) Equity Shares of Rs.10/- (Rupees Ten) each and 250,00,00,000 (Two Hundred and Fifty Crores ) Preference Shares of Rs.10/- (Rupees Ten) each.

·        CMD requests CGMs to chive the goal for making subsidiary company BTCL commercially operational and healthy revenue generating stream for the holding company BSNL.
