29 SEP 15: Congratulations !!!: Joint Committee recommendations on the agenda of a) CPSU Cadre hierarchy and b) first TBP uniformly after 4 years to remove the anomaly is signed by all the Committee members. We thank Sri Mohammed Ashraf Khan, Chairman of the Jt Committee to complete the task in time.

Ø The Joint Committee was reconstituted with new Chairman after SNEA agitation in April – May, 2015 and our discussions with CMD, DIR (HR) and ED (Fin) on 06.05.2015. The Committee has given time up to 15.08.2015.

Ø  The 3rd agenda of first TBP after 4 years also become part of the Joint Committee agenda as a result of our agitation. Earlier Jt Committee could not do anything in this regard.

Ø Ultimately our struggle for that last two years, from February, 2014 onwards demanding finalization of standard pay scales of E2, E3 replacing E1A and E2A, implementation of CPSU cadre hierarchy and first TBP uniformly after 4 years are getting positive recommendations from the Joint Committee, a very positive and bold step towards the total resolution of the issue.

Ø  Our efforts to get the proposal of E1A and E2A scales rejected by DoT and DPE was the turning point in the struggle.

Ø  The report will be submitted to CMD, BSNL on 05.10.2015, after his return from tour.

Ø  As expected, two committee members from official side, Smt. Madhu Arora, GM (Estt) and Smt. Smitha Choudhary, GM (EF) given dissent note. While GM (Estt) given some alternate suggestions at least, GM (EF) completely disagree with all the positive recommendations which benefits the company as well as the Executives.

The main recommendations are:

a.     JTO to SDE and equivalent eligibility shall be 5 years of regular service in the grade and a benchmark to be kept as Good and not more than one Average. For SC/ST candidates two Average may be allowed.

b.    SDE to Sr SDE and equivalent eligibility shall be 5 years of regular service in the grade and benchmark to be kept as Good and not more than one Average. For SC/ST candidates two Average may be allowed.

c.      Sr SDE to DE and equivalent eligibility shall be 5 years of regular service in the grade and benchmark to be kept as Good and not more than one Average. For SC/ST candidates two Average may be allowed.

d.    DE to DGM promotion will be restricted to the availability of posts. The balance DEs may be promoted as Jt DGM (parking Lot). DE to DGM and equivalent eligibility shall be 5 years of regular service as DE and bench mark to be kept as Very Good and not more than one Good. For SC/ST candidates not more than two Good.

e.     DGM to JAG- SG and equivalent may be promoted in the grade of E6 in 5 years as per existing time bound promotion scheme with the bench mark of Very Good and not more than one Good.

f.       The bench marks in above (c) & (d) are same as in Schedule -II of existing CPC as per Group ARRs.

g.    There are some UPSC recruited DEs or equivalent of 1995 batch etc as on today. All UPSC recruits of all batches may be promoted en-bloc to DGM if they meet the bench mark. The executives already promoted to higher post on post based promotion will stand senior en-bloc.

Agenda No.3: To examine the implementation of first time bound promotion uniformly after four years w.e.f. 01.10.2000: Committee is of the view that after the recommendation given above for CPSU cadre hierarchy, this issue gets resolved partially. As per recommendation already given for Agenda 1 in the third meeting of committee on 09.07.2015, the minimum service required for up gradation from E2 to E3 as proposed in (a) above is 5 years.

To address the anomaly, the committee recommends that first pay scale up gradation will be given in maximum of five years instead of six years, notionally w.e.f. 01.10.2000. However, existing provision of first time bound promotion after reaching minimum of net higher scales in four years shall remain unaffected.

24 SEP 15: AGM Staff Mumbai endorsed orders for retention of SDE under transfer to NETF Circle up to of 31/03/2016 at Satara in Maharashtra Circle. Letter <<<>>>

·     This is good news for all the SDEs who are under transfer or due for out of Maharashtra Circle to hard tenure Circles that Personal Cell BSNL Corporate office has changed its earlier adamant stand and is now humble to grant the retention at least for certain period and there are firm chances that the transfer orders will be cancelled at later stage. 

·     Thus SDEs who are under transfer to hard tenure Circle need not be under fear of transfers but needs to apply for retention and cancellation of such transfers as nowadays BSNL Corporate Office takes very lenient view and even do not bother to ask comments/recommendations of Circle Head.

·     The recent procedure formed by BSNL CO for recommendation of such cases by Circle Heads that to in prescribed format also seems to be scrapped by BSNL CO and individual & direct representations are also being given due consideration.   

·     As such all the SDEs who are under transfer to Hard Tenure Circles & not willing to join Hard tenure Circles are requested to represent their cases directly to BSNL CO and one copy for just formality may be given through proper channel, which has no meaning, but after all it is formality and we should abide by it for getting personal benefits.

·     When BSNL CO has taken so lenient view, the Maharashtra Circle also is not lagging & rather taking more lenient view and such officers who are granted retention by BSNL CO are being further considered for choice posting within Maharashtra Circle as within no time representation of the said SDE is being considered for posting at Pune SSA thus retention will not practically at Satara SSA & it will be Pune SSA.

·     This special transfer within Maharashtra Circle during remaining six months of retention period that to be to choice station having 30% HRA will be directly beneficial & most economical to individual SDE if in case he has to join NETF & thus he will be benefitted by 60% HRA in place of present 20% HRA.

·     Thus 40% gain in monthly payment that be for period of two or more than two years as the case may be and it will come about Rs 15000 per month & approximate total amount will be Rs. Four lakhs during tenure period.

·     This is sign that the financial condition of BSNL is improved and money is available within BSNL for all such economical help to sufferer SDEs.

·     Only condition is that one has to make expenditure of some thousands of rupees may be out of Rs. Four lakhs money being specially paid by BSNL by granting extra HRA due to lenient views by Circle as well as BSNL CO.

·     When everybody from BSNL CO to Maharashtra Circle has changed their adamant stand and now working in very co-operative manner to support individuals with sympathetic consideration so as to get lakhs of rupees of BSNL just by official gimmicks and hence all such affected SDEs are requested to send their representations as above and get benefits of the lineament approach by the BSNL CO as well as Maharashtra Circle.

·     It is more important that all long stay officers also ask for transfer to location having 30% HRA and get benefit of 60% HRA during All India Hard tenure transfer. 

·     This seems to be very special offer & will be only for limited period and hence all affected SDEs should act immediately & grab the opportunity. SNEA (I) will also grab this offer & opportunity to extend special help to SDEs under transfers and will support all these comrades for their retention in Maharashtra Circle.

19 SEP 15: Special efforts for improvement in GSM Network throughout Maharashtra Circle: As resolved in CEC Solapur, SNEA (I)  has taken up matter for improvement of Quality of GSM services throughout Maharashtra Circle both for Voice as well as Data. Since last one year SNEA (I) MH has taken many of the efforts in this direction starting for pursuing allotment of new Battery sets, allotment of power plants, replacement of Faulty & irreparable/RNP cards, allotment of laptops to the field units, issues related to AMCs of GSM equipment’s, AMCs of GSM BTS Mtce etc. and there is certain improvement as per administrative say.

Ø We also find that condition of some of Battery sets have been improved, there are no major complaints about the Power Plants, many of the laptops have been received by field units and distribution of laptops as per last allotment to the SDE/JTO in charge at site has been started as new Laptops are received at Pune/ Nagpur, others will get it very shortly. 

Ø As many of the efforts have been done by management for improvement of quality of service but till there is no desired improvement in the overall quality of GSM Voice & Data Services as expected by today’s customer & also there is no justified increase in GSM revenue reported as expected by the management on the basis of expenditure is being made for it.

Ø We have to recover at least expenditure made by BSNL on these works with topmost priority and hence special efforts are required by everybody in Maharashtra Circle. Though we are observing that many of the GSM customers porting in to BSNL network, but till there is need of special & personal efforts in each and every SSA & mainly all have more expectations from the GSM Mtce teams.

Ø We are aware that our teams are very active and they are not able to give their best for certain reasons which are not in their control and there is no desired support given by vendors and even by our own officers at different level to resolve certain issues.

Ø When we have discussed these issues with Shri. G.K. Upadhyay, CGMT MH & Shri. Ashok Purohit, PGM CM Mumbai both have shown readiness to resolve each and every issue being faced by field units and have stressed for improvement of quality of GSM services at any cost.

Ø It seems that these is much gap in communication of real difficulties by the field  units to the PGM CM Mumbai and CGMT MH Circle even though both competent authorities are ready for resolving issues, we find many of the genuine issues are unattended as same are not reported to competent authorities. We also find that practical difficulties are being suppressed at some levels and faulty BTS are kept nonfunctional for days together. This is not fare practice and all the field officers are requested to put on the paper the real problems in giving proper services to customers and they should continue writing issues to competent authorities fearlessly till the matter is not resolved finally.

Ø If any vendor/superior is not responding or pressuring for suppressing fault either in system or in reports, same should be opposed by individuals or may be brought to the notice of DS SNEA (I) concerned who will take up matter with the concerned officers or will reports to Com. Anil Dubey, SDE NWP GSM Mumbai & DS SNEA (I) Mumbai who will bring it to the notice of PGM CM Mumbai for resolution of issues.

Ø Apart from such individual cases of BTS there are many general cases not being taken care by some of our own officers or mainly by vendors and are directly affecting GSM services in each and every SSA. All the concerned filed officers, DS SNEA(I), COBs & SNEA(I) activists from that particular SSA  are requested to look into issues personally,  list out all the issues with probable  solutions & names of offices/officers from which assistance/support is required and email it to Com. Anil Dubey on email id anildubeyhr2@gmail.com  Contact Number: Landline: 022-26467385,  Mobile:  9423991974.

Ø If anyone has any fear about putting facts on paper and he/she is feared that what boss will think if he/she puts reality on paper then all such comrades are requested to please share your experience telephonically we will take note of all such issues and we will see that all such issues are also resolved to its root cause.

Ø Comrades, if we put it on paper and if these issues are not resolved by management, then at least present blame game against employees & officers in Mobile section about their poor performance will be stopped and SNEA(I) will surely take lead to point out such inefficient officers not dealing with issues when reported to them.

Ø But if it is found that BTS are faulty or quality of services is not up to mark in particular are due to negligence or intentional careless by field officers & he even do not put it on papers to higher or competent officers/offices then there are chances that management will take action against such negligent officers/staff and we hereby inform that in such cases of negligent approach by individual, SNEA (I) will not support these officers even if they are members of SNEA(I} At the same time if any officers is being harassed just for raising  issues of poor services, SNEA(I) will stand behind him/her & support him by all means.

Ø Comrades, when everybody from CMD, Director CM, Director EB, CGMT MH Circle, PGM CM Mumbai is ready to help us in improving GSM services & we also are ready for then communication gap should not be reason for it rather, it is now our prime responsibility that we should put the real facts & problems in the field units on paper without any fear in mind & bring it to the notice of the concerned officer/office.

Ø If for any reason, you have any boss fear in mind then please email it to DS SNEA (I) or Com. Anil Dubey on above email, we will keep it top secret. SNEA (I) MH will take up all such secrete issues also to appropriate level and to the root cause of problem. If we miss the bus this time when everybody is in supportive mode, it will be difficult for us and we will have to face worst situation in days to come.

Ø Hence all the executive as well as non-executive comrades throughout Maharashtra are appealed to raise for the occasion and respond this call for improvement of quality of GSM services throughout Maharashtra Circle.

Ø Let us make sincere efforts for improvement of quality of services with positive mindset that “Nothing is impossible for dedicated workforce of BSNL”.

17 SEP 15: Committee meeting on Officiating pay fixation/Pay protection: The Committee reconstituted by the management under the chairmanship of Sr GM(SR) after our agitation in April-May 2015 to examine pay fixation and pay protection on officiating promotion had a meeting today, 15.09.15 to discuss the issue. GM (Pers), GM (Estt) and GM (FP) are other members of the committee. GS attended the committee meeting and explained the issue in detail to the committee members. The officiating promotion ordered by DoT and BSNL before implementation of EPP, pay fixation under FR 22(1) (a) (1) on officiating promotion, double fixation on officiating promotion from lateral JTO to SDE, DoT order counting split spells of officiating period for the purpose of granting increment in the promoted scale, continuation of same pay when officiating promotion is followed by regular promotion etc explained by the GS. Further the apprehension that it will lead to pay anomaly and stepping up is dispelled as Hon SC itself ordered that it is not a pay anomaly and hence stepping up of pay is not allowed.

In EPP also officiating promotion and pay fixation under FR SR continued. The clarification dated 30.05.2007 withdrawing the fixation of one increment on officiating promotion from same scale to scale created problems. This clarification is against the EPP order dated 18.01.2007. Further clarification dated 19.02.2010 disallowing the pay protection resulted reduction of pay by two to three increments for the Executives and all are facing recovery of pay for lakhs of rupees. Even though recovery is stopped by BSNL, at the time of retirement, CCA is making recovery for lakhs of rupees. Thousands of Executives, officiated during DoT and BSNL period from JTO/JAO to SDE/AO and SDE/AO to DE/CAO and absorbed in BSNL from 01.10.2000 are affected by these orders. If these orders are not withdrawn, all the Executives officiated prior to 2010 in DoT and BSNL will face reduction in pay including the retired Executives.  

GS pleaded with the committee to examine these two clarifications and recommend withdrawing them as it is against the provisions of FR SR and EPP order.

 

17 SEP 15: Court case on officiating JTO pay fixation under FR22 (1) (a) (1) without the restriction of FR 35: SNEA filed the case in the Hon PCAT, New Delhi in the month of July, 2015. After strong persuation from our side, the final arguments on the case completed in 2 months time and the judgment is reserved. In the case filed by SNEA, not only the pay fixation of the present officiating JTOs, the pay fixation of the regular JTOs who officiated earlier also will be covered. The lists submitted by different Circles also submitted as part of the document. In addition to the list given, all the members of SNEA in the above two categories also will be covered.

16 SEP 15: AIC Jaipur: Resolutions : After three days of details discussions on the different issues as per the agenda of AIC at conclusion of AIC Jaipur the house unanimously passed the following resolutions. 

1.     Promotions in various streams, amendments to different RRs and seniority related issues:

a.            AIC deliberated on the status of various DPCs from JTO to SDE, SDE to DE, DE to DGM, SDE(C/E) to EE(C/E), JAO to AO, AO to CAO, SDE(TF) to AGM(TF), LDCE from JTO to SDE etc and court cases at Ernakulum and Chandigarh affecting various DPCs. In the AIC, it is decided to take all the possible steps to get the stay vacated from Hon Kerala High Court on JTO to SDE promotions. Similarly all efforts may be taken to get the stay vacated from Hon Chandigarh Tribunal on various promotions so that JTO to SDE, JAO to AO, JTO to SDE (LDCE), AO to CAO promotions can be completed. SDE to DE promotion is under process. JTO (TF) to SDE (TF) LDCE to be conducted early by finalizing the syllabus. DE to DGM promotions are to be expedited once the seniority list 1 to 5 is finalized as per Hon Supreme Court order.

b.           Amendments in SDE RR 2002 and BSNLMS RR 2009 for Civil/Elect wing are approved by the BSNL Board on 28.08.2015. By the new SDE RR amendment, interpolating seniority in the ration 2:1 on vacancy year basis, the seniority issue between seniority quota and LDCE quota promotions will be resolved for the future promotions. Amendments in JTO RR and BSNLMS RR for enhancing the quota from existing 50% to 75% for the Accounts wing pending before the BSNL Board are to be pursued vigorously.

c.             Revision of seniority list no 1 to 5 based on Hon SC judgment is underway. The expert Committee is examining the consequential benefits to be extended to the SDEs. Revision of seniority lists 6 & 7 as per Hon SC order based on date of joining is completed. It is a fact that in the revised list, quota also not able to maintain. As decided in Bhopal CWC and Nanded AIC, Association never recognized “Date of joining” as the criteria to decide the seniority, the seniority and subsequent promotions will be based on the recruitment year or vacancy year for which the recruitment or promotion took place. Association will maintain the same stand. In the same line, Association defended the JTO to SDE case at Chennai and Ernakulam. The seniority dispute in list no 6 and 7 and in the seniority of the SDEs in the subsequent promotions will be addressed in the CPSU cadre hierarchy or by suitable mechanisms where the promotions will be linked with recruitment year or vacancy year for which the recruitment or promotion took place.

2.     Discussion on E2, E3 pay scales, Implementation of CPSU cadre hierarchy and first TB promotions uniformly after 4 years to address anomaly:

a.            The Joint Committee reconstituted on 08.05.2015 after the agitation of SNEA in April-May, 2015. The Jt Committee finalised the recommendations on standard pay scales. The committee recommended to replace the intermediary pay scales of E1A and E2A with E2 and E3 scales w.e.f. 01.01.2007, without cascading effect. The AIC appreciated very much the efforts taken by SNEA to reconstitute the committee and getting a very positive recommendation from the Joint Committee within short time.

b.           The Jt Committee came up with a road map for implementation of CPSU cadre hierarchy up to DE/CAO level. The details are to be worked out. The bench mark tightened with “Good” as bench mark for promotions up to DE/CAO level. Promotion to DGM posts will be based on availability of posts. Promotions from DE (E4) scale to DGM (E5) scale and DGM (E5) scale to SG JAG (E6) will continue.

c.             Discussion on first TBP uniformly after 4 years w.e.f. 01.10.2000 to address the anomaly is to be discussed in the Joint Committee. This has become part of agenda only because of the agitation by SNEA in April-May, 2015. AIC decided to pursue the matter vigorously in the Joint Committee for a logical conclusion.

3.      30% superannuation benefits for the BSNL Recruited employees: Significant improvement observed when CMD mentioned in the AIC proposing an increase in the contribution from 3% to 6%, taking the total contribution to above 24%. However AIC observed that all efforts are to be made to get the full 30% contribution from BSNL as it is the only social security measure available for the BSNL recruits. The scheme has to be implemented without further delay after maximum negotiations with the BSNL Management. On Full pension option for the EPF, Assn will pursue with management. Legal options also will be explored to get the option changed to “full pension option”.

4.      Struggle by Kerala & ETR Comrades:

a.            The AIC took serious note of the struggle going on in Kerala Circle for the last 16 months against the CGMT, facing massive charges of corruption. His intentions are to destroy the healthy working atmosphere in Kerala Circle to help private operators, by dismantling the monitoring mechanisms which made Kerala Circle a role model for other Circles. AIC condemned the action of some Associations openly supporting the CGMT who unleashed series of vindictive actions against the employees and trade unions when corruption charges are taken up. AIC unanimously resolved to actively support the struggle of Kerala Comrades led by SNEA and BSNLEU and may launch trade union actions at All India level to restore normalcy and prestige of the Circle, by shifting the CGMT and also to safeguard the trade union rights.

b.           AIC appreciated the struggle by ETR/Bihar comrades against the vindictive attitude of DGM/ETR. The commitment given by the management during the agitation to be honored.

5.     Civil/Electrical /Accounts wing related issues:

a.            AIC appreciated the efforts of CHQ to bring uniformity in promotions to EE cadre in Civil/Electrical etc wings by the clarification dated 16.07.2015 and Board decision on 28.08.2015.

b.           The issue of notional fixation of E1A and E2A scales w.e.f. 01.10.2000 for JTOs and SDEs in Civil/Elect/Arch etc wings at par with JAOs to be pursued to bring parity in pay scales.

c.             AIC appreciated the singular efforts of SNEA to end Adhocism in DE promotion and enhancing the quota from 50% to 75%. However Adhocism still continuing in Accounts/Civil/Elect wings and the regular quota continues as 50%. AIC decided to take lead in resolving the issue for Accounts/Civil/Elect wings by suitable amendments in the BSNLMS RR to end adhocism and increase the quota from 50% to 75% as SNEA done for Telecom Engg wing.

6.     Rule 8 & Tenure transfers:

a.            Relieving of Executives from Tenure Circles on completion of tenure period is a genuine problem. It is to be taken up with management on priority. In the AIC, it is suggested to relive the substitutes from the non tenure circles, immediately on issue of transfer order.

b.           Rule 8 transfers from various Circles delayed for years together especially from WB, Karnataka, Kol TD, tenure Circles etc. The AIC strongly felt that the Rule 8 transfer of JTOs after completion of 5 years should be dealt on priority by utilizing the officiating JTOs getting regularized shortly or by JTO recruitment.

c.             Special JTO recruitment to tenure circles and Circles having acute shortage to be taken up with the management. This will be feasible once new JTO RR is notified.

7.     Reversion of JTOs in Assam/UP (West) Circles: AIC decided to take all possible organizational and legal actions to avoid reversion from JTO cadre in Assam and UP (West) Circles.

8.     Appreciation of Rajasthan Comrades: AIC appreciated the efforts taken by the comrades of Rajasthan Circle under the leadership of Com. S.S.Rajput, CS SNEA (I) Rajasthan Circle for comfortable, suitable and most beautiful arrangements for stay and proceedings of All India Conference Jaipur.

He uttered his displeasure over the move of government in sidelining BSNL from Digital India project.

Ø Com. V. N. Namboodiri, Veteran Leader BSNLEU shared in his address that Com G L Jogi is the shining star in organizing and keeping the struggle live. He mentioned that present CMD Shri Anupam Shrivastava has given new path for the growth of BSNL and expressed his confidence that under his vibrant leadership BSNL will definitely restore its past glory. He reiterated how government policies are against the PSUs which are in fact the pillars for the growth of India. Govt is repeating the process of merger/division specifically in telecom sector. Initially joint telecom sector was disintegrated in the process of division and MTNL, BSNL and VSNL were formed. Later on VSNL was sold to the TATA Telecom. Now they are initiating the process of merger to weaken BSNL and MTNL. He mentioned how the BSNL was not allowed to grow in mobile sector. Most of the Govt policies are being initiated to support the growth of private instead of PSUs. He pinpointed that peoples of this country wants BSNL and nobody can destroy BSNL if workers unites and stand like a rock.

13 SEP 15: GS, President, Jt Sec (C) along with Chairman met ED(NB)/Chairman of the Jt committee and held discussions on the recommendations on CPSU Cadre Hierarchy and first TBP after 4 years. GS/AIGETOA and other office bearers of AIGETOA were also present. More or less the recommendations on CPSU cadre hierarchy are to our expectations as reported in the AIC. Further, after discussion the residency period for first TBP able to bring down from 6 to 5 years for the future promotions.

On the 3rd agenda of first TBP after 4 years w.e.f. 01/10/2004 to address the anomaly, Chairman is of the firm opinion that this anomaly is rectified now and there is no anomaly when E2, E3 pay scales are implemented. On E2, E3 scales, a JTO will not reach minimum of E3 scale even in 6 years and so, no anomaly remains, according to the Chairman. Further Chairman added that when it will be implemented from 01.10.2000, huge financial implications will come which the management and DoT will not agree at all. After detailed discussions it was agreed to recommend to reduce the maximum residency period from 6 years to 5 years notionally w.e.f. 01.10.2000. The Committee recommendations on both issues are signed by both the General Secretaries of SNEA and AIGETOA. Other members are to sign the recommendations.

Salient features are:

a)  Time Bound Functional promotion will be allowed from JTO/JAO à SDE/AO-à Sr SDE/Sr AO -à DE/CAO and equivalent cadres without linking with availability of posts and delinking from seniority with bench mark of “Good”.

b)  The residency period reduced from 6 to 5 years for the first TB promotion from JTO/JAO -à SDE/AO and equivalent cadres. In short the residency period for all the promotions will be 5 years. A JTO/JAO will become a DE/CAO in 15 years.

c)  DE/CAO to DGM promotion will be depending upon the availability of vacancies. However in case DGM promotion is not getting after 5 years due to non availability of vacancies, DGM scale will be offered with designation of “Jt DGM”.

d)  Further pay scale upgradation from DGM to JAG SG (E5 to E6) will continue with 5 years.

Comrades, this vital breakthrough was possible only due to SNEA struggle in April – May, 2015. In the discussion with SNEA on 06.05.2015, CMD agreed to reconstitute the Joint Committee with new Chairman and set a target of 15.08.2015 to complete the recommendations. Our demand for first TBP after 4 years also added as a new agenda. Further CMD directed the committee to meet at least once in a fortnight.

Our struggle for standard pay scales of E2, E3 etc, TB functional promotion or CPSU cadre hierarchy and first TBP after 4 years are started getting positive response after so many years.

·        SNEA (I) MH will support for early relieving of Mr. Bhaskar because till he is present in Maharashtra Circle and till he is CAO FC Mumbai, he will be practically of no use for HR works as he does not know ABCD of transfer policy.

·        Fortunately Mr. Bhaskar CAO FC Mumbai & Mrs. Marina George Sr GM Fin Mumbai who have created mesh in transfer & posting of Finance wing officers since last 2-3months are transferred on same day & after their transfer, FC section definitely will have new HR approach & this will be helpful for all Finance wing officers in Maharashtra Circle. Let us hope for the best.  

 

5 SEP 15:  BSNL CO issued transfer order of Four GMs in Finance wing in which Mrs. Marina George GM Fin Mumbai is transferred to Gujrat Circle and Shri. Mandeep Prakash is transferred & posted as GM Fin Mumbai with immediate effect. Letter <<<>>> 

Let us hope that Mrs. Marina George who in capacity of Sr GM Fin Mumbai harassed executives in Account wing of Maharashtra circle first by issuing arbitrary transfers with violations of transfer policy guidelines & then by forcibly & mercilessly relieving them to follow her biased, pick and choose transfer orders and compelled many of them to join new place of posting including female executives, now responds in similar manner as directed by her i.e. without asking for retention, without asking for Change of stations and follows transfer order issued by BSNL CO & sets examples for all other officers.

Transfer of Mrs. Marina George will be definitely big relief for Finance wing officers in Maharashtra Circle and this will be concrete step to stop pick & choose transfers of finance wing officers under present “Hopeless Bhaskar Transfer policy”

Delay in decision making has put BSNL in today awkward position. Key posts like CMD, Director Fin, and Director HR were kept vacant for more than a year. However it was the pressure of Forum of all Unions/Associations in BSNL that post of CMD and Director HR are now filled. BSNL has lost good no of customers while implementing CDR/ERP.

 2 SEP 15: GS SNEA (I) CHQ writes to Director HR BSNL Board on wrong procedure adopted by BSNL Corporate office in counting long stay of SDEs in Maharashtra Circle by adding MTNL stay for calculating stay in MH Circle and rightly points out how the stay of two different territorial Circles namely MTNL Mumbai Circle & BSNL Maharashtra Circle is intentionally misinterpreted for combined counting in recent clarification issued by BSNL CO.  Letter <<<>>>

 

 2 SEP 15: Allotment of laptops directly to SDE/JTO in charge of BTS Maintenance:  AGM NWP GSM Mumbai issues allotment of 37 brand new & highly technical laptops directly on name of JTO/SDE in charge of BTS Maintenance team for each and every SSAs in Maharashtra Circle. Letter <<<>>>

Ø Shortage of laptops and non availability of good quality of laptops with SDEs/JTOs in charge of GSM BTS Maintenance team in different SSAs was the important issue raised by SNEA (I) MH and we have pursued it at different levels.

Ø In first step of success towards persuasion by SNEA(I) MH, in recent past and bout 10 laptops received for BTS Mtce & being used in administrative offices were diverted from offices to field units and mainly to in charge of BTS team. This issue was one of the important agenda points discussed in CEC Meeting Solapur and about all DS have given request for allotment of laptop for BTS Maintenance team of their SSAs.

Ø Accordingly, SNEA (I) MH has pursued this matter with different officers and now 37 brand new laptops will be available with the JTO/SDEs in charge of BTS Maintenance team.

Ø SNEA (I) MH conveys special thanks to Shri. M.K.Jain, then CGMT MH Circle for responding to this issue raised by SNEA (I) MH very positively and to Shri. Ashok Purohit Sr GM NWP CM Mumbai for understanding real difficulties faced by JTOs/SDEs in charge of GSM BTS Mtce team and important & most practical stand for issuing allotment directly by name of JTO/SDE in charge of GSM BTS maintenance team of SSA.

Ø Also care has been taken to keep these laptops with GSM BTS Maintenance team by issuing direction to handover the laptops to the substitute JTO/SDE for GSM BTS Maintenance team that means these laptops will be exclusively used for GSM BTS Maintenance team and not by senior officer because this is new laptop as it was followed in about all SSAs earlier days, which was objected & strongly opposed by SNEA (I) MH. Now GSM BTS Mtce teams will have to gear up and look into real issues of BTS Mtce promptly & to its root cause and ensure for best quality GSM services to esteemed BSNL customers.

Ø After resolution of issue of battery sets & New Cards for GSM BTS maintenance to certain extent, the allotment of 37 brand new & highly technical laptops directly to GSM BTS Mtce teams is next step of commitments by SNEA (I) for improvement of GSM services and we are confident all our filed officers will reciprocate it with improvement in quality of GSM services.  

 

1 SEP 15:  In continuation to the discussions held by SNEA (I) MH with Shri. G. K.

Order I <<<>>>   Order II <<<>>> 

 In addition to these two SDEs, posting of one more DE in Raigad SSA is expected within day or two. This order will be relief to the executives held up in the Raigad SSA for more than 6-7 months after completion of their tenure and when order have been issued long back and it is ray of hope for posting substitute for the officers transferred without substitute from Raigad SSA and are not relieved by Raigad SSA due to acute shortage of Executives. Let us hope hence forth all transfer from Raigad SSA will be issued with proper substitute. This was one of the issues raised by Com. M.K.Thakur, DS SNEA (I) Raigad in our recent CEC Meeting at Solapur and even though demand is not fulfilled totally, this order will solve present crises in Raigad SSA to certain extent.  

 

 2 SEP 15: BSNL CO writes Circle heads for sending consolidated data and applications of request transfers on quarterly basis and assures to consider all requests on quarterly basis. Letter <<<>>>

    In Maharashtra Circle about 20 requests in SDE Cadre for out of Circle transfer are held up & about 4-5 SDEs under transfer from Maharashtra Circle are yet to be relieved. SNEA (I) MH has taken up this issue with Shri. Pravin Malhotra, Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai and has assured to consider all pending requests for transfer/relieving to other Circle sympathetically and we are hopeful that as per this letter all such requests will be considered & sent to BSNL CO before end of this quarter.

But there is issue of relieving officers whose requests are not sent through proper channel and direct copies of individuals are entertained by BSNL CO,  in such cases which not routed through its Circle Office, the Maharashtra Circle has taken stand not to relieve these officers even though order have been issued by BSNL CO. We will also take up matter with competent authorities for relieving of officers under transfer, but all comrades are requested to follow guidelines issued by BSNL CO on this subject and send all request through proper channel and in cases there is reluctance from controlling officer/SSA Head to forwarding request, fresh representation addressed to CGMT MH along with copy of original request may sent with name & post of officer withholding request at any stage.

Letter <<<>>>

       Let us hope that there is some rearrangement in present unbalanced condition of SSAs & Circle office Mumbai and vacant post of SSA Heads are filled up by competent level officers depending on revenue and some of officers enjoying in BSNL without any work are put on the task. SNEA (I) MH has already preliminary discussions on this subject with Shri. G.K. Upadhay,  CGMT MH and he has assured to have rearrangement of SSA Heads like Gadchiroli, Sindhudurg, Raigad, Buldhana, Chandrapur, Yavatmal, Osmanabad, Jalna etc SSAs and we are hopeful that CGMT MH will take action on these fresh guidelines and if required we will give detail feedback on this crucial issue for growth of BSNL.

1 SEP 15:  DGM HR Mumbai completed one more formality of threatening SSA Heads that the officers under transfer were not relieved by SSA/Unit heads for prolonged period and same has been viewed seriously by competent authority & has instructed not to repeat it in future. Letter <<<>>>

·        These are mere official formalities completed by Shri. P.R.Sule, DGM HR Mumbai, and contradiction is rightly seen here itself as one side he threatens for viewing it seriously by competent authority and other side he is joking by issuing ERP relieving orders in two phases and other phase will be effective by 30/09/2015. Which means that till 30/09/2015 i.e. one more month, the concerned SSA Heads are given full scope to disobey the transfer order issued by Staff section and specially the warning instructions issued with signature of Shri. G. K. Upadhay, CGMT MH Circle. Letter  <<<>>>

·        This is best example how the SSA heads are neglecting serious instructions of respected CGMT MH Circle and have never even any fear of action on formal official & written warning issued by Circle Head as they also are aware that our present CGMT is very good & gentleman and now these SSA Heads have understood that even CGMT MH threatens for communication of displeasure in Month of May 2015, the SSA heads dares not to follow his so called serious instructions till Sept 2015 i.e. for three months. Now these SSA heads have prepared their mind that nothing is to be done on their part for following transfer orders issued by Staff Section Mumbai and not to worry about relieving the officers even though CGMT threatens for communication of displeasure, and the transfer orders will be implemented only if action is taken by Circle office for ERP relieving.

·        This happens with the transfer orders issued before one year period, and even transfer orders are issued for officers who have completed tenure in April 2015, no action has been yet  initiated on their relieving, creating more difficulties to these executives working at tenure stations. 

·        We also should thank God to have such Gentleman Circle Head for Maharashtra Circle, but only fear in this that SSA Heads will take all instructions from CGMT MH in similar joking manner and it may affect the growth of Maharashtra Circle for which our CGMT MH is much concerned. But when we have to be good & maintain harmonious relations then there is nothing like CGMT & SSA Heads and it is just co-ordial and friendly relations, which we are witnessing now in this holy month of “Sharavan”.

·        We beg pardon for Comrades working at tenure stations, who are held up for period of more than 7-8 months after completion of Circle tenure at tenure stations and not relieved by SSA Heads even though CGMT has threatened for serious action against concerned SSA Heads. Similarly we beg pardon for the officers from non tenure station who are ready to join on transfer, but are not relieved by SSA heads/Controlling officers for known /unknown reasons. But comrades, for harmony between SSA Heads & CGMT MH, these comrades will have to scarify one more month, and bear with the difficulties faced by them & their family members.

·        But at this stage, one should be happy that the process of implementation of long pending transfer orders has taken one step ahead and hopefully within one month, many of these transfer orders will be implemented.  

 

 1 SEP 15:  AGM Staff Mumbai issued orders for ERP relieving of Officers under transfer from different SSAs, but not relieved by SSAs & now all these officers are relieved in two phase and first phase of ERP relieving has been implemented on 31/08/2015 & second phase of relieving will be done on 30/09/2015.

31 AUG 15: Counting of MTNL Mumbai stay in SDE Long stay list of Maharashtra Circle: AGM Staff Mumbai issued list of SDEs joined Maharashtra Circle from MTNL Mumbai by counting their stay from date of joining at Mumbai as JTO & calls for corrections in their stay particulars if any. Letter <<<>>> 

Ø This letter is issued as per the BSNL CO clarification dated 25/08/2015 for counting of stay in Maharashtra Circle including stay at MTNL Mumbai.

Ø But in shameless manner, here attempt has been made for including names of female executives in the list of long stay SDEs for transfer to Hard Tenure station and female SDEs are asked to submit their unwillingness for not working at hard tenure station.

Ø This senseless action has been taken by staff section as selfish complaint made by some useless & selfish officers, who want to save themselves from the long stay transfer to hard tenure station and in shameless manner AGM Staff Mumbai is compelling female executives to submit unwillingness.

Ø When there is nothing written in this letter about stay of female executives in this clarification and when names of female executives were never included in long stay list of SDEs for posting to hard tenure Circles, there was no need on part of staff section to add such hopeless & senseless line and create fear among the female executives.

Ø This is not only matter of fear among female executives, but it is also wastage of stationary and office time in such unwanted correspondence on matter not going to yield results. As per transfer policy, unwilling female executives are not to be posted to hard tenure stations. We all are aware that no female executive will be willing for working at hard tenure except one or two cases throughout India. In such known circumstances it would have been correct action on part of staff section that applications would have been called from only willing female executives and not from all female executives. But as usual some senseless & selfish officers showing their poor leadership qualities are intentionally creating unwanted trouble for female executives, just to safeguard themselves from the long stay transfers.

Ø Inclusion of female executives does not serve any purpose except cruel satisfaction of such officers & on the contrary it creates confusion among long stay list and they are thinking that their turn for hard tenure is far away & all off sudden their transfer order is issued to hard tenure station. Anyhow SNEA(I) MH will take up matter with administration for not calling for willingness from female executives and till then no female executive should submit her unwillingness and any female executives willing for working at hard tenure may submit her willingness.  

Ø SNEA (I) MH has also received some individual complaints about wrong interpretation of counting combined stay of two separate territorial Circles by BSNL CO, difficulties faced by these executives who have opted BSNL under rule 8 transfers or by accepting lower pay sales of BSNL as compared to MTNL, about not having option to so called same Circle MTNL etc which we also find justified at this stage.

Ø SNEA (I) MH is studying this matter and final decision will be taken shortly after getting feedback from all DS/COBs and individual officers affected by both the sides. Till then all executives affected by this order may represent their case through proper cannel to GM Pers BSNL CO with detail justification and its copy may be sent to DS SNEA (I) of concerned SSA/CS SNEA (I) MH.
