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.

29 AUG 15: Availability of
stores related to landline & Broadband: In Circle Executive Committee Meeting held at Solapur on 8th
& 9th August 2015, ALL District Secretaries have raised issue of
Shortage of Stores and it was resolved that the matter should be given on Top
Priority by SNEA(I). Accordingly we have
accessed the availability of CFA related stores items like Drop wire, EBPT, UY
Connector, Modular Connector, Modules for DP /CT Boxes and Broadband Modems. We
had detail discussions with Com. A.K.Tiwari, AGM SP/CP holding additional charge of AGM Broadband. We
elaborated him the situation of stores in field and how it is affecting overall
growth of BSNL and how our comrades in the field units are facing critical situation
and unrest of the customers. Com. Tiwari agreed that there is scarcity of some
of items but it is within hands & due to continuous efforts taken by his
office the situation will change shortly. He was firm that in days to come
ample stores will be available not only in stores but in field units also. We
made him clear that though stores are available in field units, it is not
practically available with the officers/Staff working at field units. He agreed
for that and assured to allot the stores as required by SSA. He also reproduced
the words of CGMT MH that the SSAs which are giving specific requirement with
firm targets of revenue generation, addition of landline etc, then they will be
given priority. He specifically mentioned that SSAs are not updating
store utilizing in ERP which is showing excess availability of stores with
field units. He stressed upon updating data of utilization by
not only SDE/DE MM of SSA but by each and every field unit has to update store
utilization data and till data is updated it is shown as unused stores and
further allotment is being made on the utilization report & balance stores
in ERP. Anyone facing shortage of stores for targeted
works should update utilization data in ERP & then may contact to SDE/DE MM
of their SSA then to Com. Murali Uduta JTO CP Mumbai on 022-26467305 and till there are certain
unresolved issues they can call to Com. A. K.Tiwari AGM SP/CP Mumbai 022-2646732. For requirement of Broadband modem one can
contact to Com. Mrs. Saima JTO Broadband 022-26467305. The item wise availability of critical stores
is as follows.
1.
Caller
ID EBPT: It is our surprise that there is
shortage of EPBTs in field units, in Central stores of Maharashtra Circle total
1,22,000 Caller ID EPBTs are available. The field units facing shortage
of EPBT should take note of it and collect EPBT as many required through SDE/DE
MM of concerned SSA. As such there should not be any cry on shortage of EPBT in
Maharashtra Circle.
2.
Drop
wire: We informed him about complaints of
biased allotment of drop wire and expenditure made on transportation excess
than the cost of drop wire due to short allotment to SSAs. He informed that for
allotment of drop wire certain standard formula is adopted by his office.
i.e. for new connections drop wire is allotted @ 75 mtrs per new connection
& for maintenance drop wire is allotted @ five meters per working DEL per
year. We have brought to his notice that no SSA is allotted drop wire for
maintenance, he informed that field units can utilize drop wire both for
maintenance as well as new connections and detail utilization report may be
sent to his office along with fresh requirement, so that additional allotment
can be done on basis of this requirement & utilization report. As on today,
there is shortage of drop wire as it is short supplied by Telecom factory
Mumbai/Jabalpur. For this year total
6000 Kms drop wire will be available for Maharashtra Circle and out of
first lot of 1000 Kms for First Quarter i.e. April to June 750 Kms drop wire
has been received and issued to field
units. He further informed that 5250 Kms drop wire will be made
available in phase manner & by next week 500 Kms drop wire will be received
including that of left out quota of First quarter. Further in 2000 Kms will be
available in Quarter II, 2000 Kms in Quarter III & 1000 Kms in Quarters.
3.
UY
& Modular Connectors:
He agreed that there is shortage of UY connectors at Circle store depots, but
it is available in some of SSA stores and same can be utilized by local
diversion and if required, such diversion cases can be approved by Circle
office. He added that MH Circle has placed order for 50,00,000 (Fifty lakhs)
UY Connectors & 60, 000 (Sixty Thousands) and in coming month its first
lot is expected in CSDs & entire supply is to be completed by 13/10/2015.
4.

procurement of 10,000 Modules for DP/CT Box for replacement of old modules has
been initiated by CPC Cell Mumbai and shortly order will be placed for same and
shortly modules also will be available in field
units.
5.
Jointing

jointing kits is available in stores and additional supply is in pipeline. In

of higher size cable i.e. cable of 400 pairs and above, but smaller PIJF cables
are also not available in ample quantity but sufficient quantity is available
which can be made available for all target & revenue oriented works and
assured for immediate allotment of cable by arrangements on such firm & target
oriented requirement of cables.
7.
Broadband
Modems: He informed that more than 97,000
Type II TERACOM modems are available in Central store depots and any one in
need can collect it. We have brought to his notice that the quality of these
modems is very poor and specifically its WiFi connectivity is very very poor
and there is mass refusal of modems by customers. It was to our surprise that when there are many
complaints about the quality of modems, Com. A.K.Tiwari told that there is no single complaint received by
his office about quality of modem. If
complaints are received definitely his office will take care of all these
issues. We also informed him that there are new & major issues created due
to compulsion of modems to BSNL customers & he informed that excess
quantity is available with BSNL and hence orders for compulsion will have been
issued and directed us to take up matter at higher level. The field units which are facing issues about
the quality of modems supplied by TERACOM or any other modem should send detail
complaint to AGM SP/CP Mumbai with facts & figures so that the present lot
of useless modems can be replaced by new one otherwise the method of
procurement of useless && poor quality modems will continues and we
will keep shouting & shouting which is of no use. All DS/COBs, activists,
field officers/staff are requested to look into issues and send complaints
about quality of modem without any further delay.
This is status of the
stores related to landline & Broadband modem & we will continue to
monitor status on regular basis. But all field
units are requested to send requirement with utilization of stores in hand,
updating its data in ERP and with details of new connection, revenue generation
with the use of required stores. Also requirement of critical stores required
for maintenance should be sent with detail justification and for any issues
matter should taken with concerned SDE/DE MMs & officers concerned in
Circle Office Mumbai. We will shortly update
on stores related to Transmission Network, Lease circuits, FTTH and CDMA FWTs
& CDMA AMC related issues.

of executives. He explained working of ITPC on different platform, its
important and his own style of working with his keen attention on each and
every segments of ITPC. After general
discussions on different issues we had detail discussions on following issues.
1.
Issues after migration of IN works from
Bangalore to Pune: We informed CGM ITPC that there are many issues on transfer of IN
load from Bangalore to Pune and till the bills of July are not generated. Understanding
situation, we have immediately taken updates from Com.
Vishwanth CS SNEA(I) AP, and CGMT asked from him detail issues by email or

the pending issues can be resolved in time bound manner.
2.
Migration of Lease Circuit to CDR: Shri.

and how after migration to CDR there are chances of proper billing of all Lease
Circuit. He also narrated the critical issues in migration of Lease circuits to
CDR and how individual can make complaint at single window and immediately sms

there will be immediate action on restoration of lease circuit. He informed
that he has target of 30th October 2015 to complete all the
migration works and till today data of two billing centers is migrated and work
for all other billing centers is in progress. We have brought to his notice how
SNEA (I) is alert on provision and mtce of Lease circuits and we have resolved
in CEC Solapur that SNEA (I) comrades will take special efforts in provision
& maintenance of Lease circuits and we will definitely get involved in
getting data of officers responsible for maintenance of Lease circuits so as
early migration of all lease circuits. CGM Shri. Sing was optimistic that after
migration of all Lease circuits there are chances of increase in overall
revenue of lease circuit by minimum 10 percent to maximum 20 percent and hence
this work should be completed in time bound manner and with Top priority.
3.
Implementation of CDR Group Billing: Even
after four years of implementation of CDR the group billing facility is not yet
made available to Industrial Customers as it was earlier available in DOT Soft
which will facilitate by issuing single bill for its multiple services like LL,
ISDBN BRI/PRI, Lease lines etc. This issue was discussed in last meeting
also.CGM informed that it is already implemented and such groups can be formed
by SSA teams. If there is any problem ITPC is ready to provide training to
concerned officers. This will solve the problem of Industrial & Corporate
customers by issuing sing bill for all different types of the services taken
from BSNL.
4.
Steps towards Paperless working in BSNL: We
pointed out need of paper less working at least after implementation of CDR/ERP
in the BSNL and requested for initiatives from ITPC with active role in it. We
elaborated CGM ITPC about the feedback given by our DS in CEC Solapur and
Resolutions passed thereof for paperless working and specifically need of
reduction in no. of reports being called by different offices. CGMT supported
our stand & explained that all the reports are generated from ERP/CDR &
there is no need of any report at routine intervals from field. But he added that certain information is
available in field units and in only such specific field related information,
reports should be called from field units & assured to look into issues of
repeated reports being called by different offices.
5.
Explorering creative ideas by giving
scope to in house talent: CGM expressed that he is having best
officers in ITPC and have proved their intelligent in many of the internal
project. He also informed that he is trying to get some external IT project
works so that additional revenue will be generated. He also added that there
are many internal projects which can be programmed & successfully run by
the ITPC executives. He expressed his proud feeling to have such expert
executives who have saved crores of rupees of BSNL by creative ides of internal
project like “BSNL Apps’ and assured to get output from his expert team. CGM further expressed that he is having idea
of formation of IT EB team of BSNL which can explorer ideas of creating
different IT solutions for generation of revenue and at the same time to
provide total solutions to esteemed customers of BSNL so as to have more
attachment of customers towards BSNL.
6.
Undue Delay is handing over USO Subsidy
claim data by ITPC Pune & loss of lakhs of rupees to BSNL: We
brought to the notice of CGMT MH how the process of subsidy claims are delayed
all over Maharashtra and how BSNL is making loss of lakhs of rupees to on delayed
subsidy claims and on expenditure to complete entire process within 8-10 days
available in hand with field units after receipt of data. We also informed that
this is matter of only third month of every quarter & if ITPC saves time of
ten days & submit the information by 10th of third month of
quarter then matter will be resolved amicably. CGM ITPC immediately called
Shri. Rahul Rane, DGM ITPC in the meeting and has taken update from him about
the delay and directed him to take care in generation of report in third month
of every quarter & make the information of USO subsidy claim latest by 15th
of third month of the quarter. We also brought to his notice that after
receiving data it is arranged in the required format by each and every SSA
using more manpower for similar works and stressed that if ITPC itself provide
data in the required format it will be most easy task in submission of subsidy
claims. We requested him to develop software, which can give the data with
complete calculation of subsidy claims by for all 30 SSAs in Maharashtra which
will save time & energy being repeatedly used in each SSA for manual
calculations and in processing subsidy claims. We specifically informed that if
such software or programme is developed by ITPC and subsidy claims in
prescribed format are given to field units directly for claim then 34 JTOs/SDEs
& concerned staff under these JTOs/SDEs which is more than 50 will be
spared and can be better utilized in other important activities. Finally CGM
instructed Shri Rahul Rane
for minimizing time taken in generation of information from ITPC and also
instructed to prepare the USO claim in the required format. Shri. Rane also agreed that it is quite possible if the said
format is made available to his team. It was decided to have meeting with DGM
OP MH Circle Mumbai for giving final shape to this proposal so that ITC submits
data to field units
in the prescribed format and this data will be provided latest by 15th
of every month.
7.
Requirement of additional executives in
ITPC Pune: CGM ITPC started discussions on additional need o manpower in ITPC
and informed us the details thereof & expressed displeasure on non
relieving of executives by Maharashtra Circle.
He also shared details of his persuasion with CGMT MH and experience thereof
and he categorically mentioned that he wants persons to run the show
efficiently. He asked support of SNEA on this issue and wanted to know the
reasons for oppose by SNEA for posting to ITPC Pune. We have made it clear that
SNEA (I) has no oppose for posting of executives to ITPC, on the contrary SNEA
(I) MH is & was pursuing for posting SDEs to ITPC Pune as many of comrades
are willing to work at ITPC Pune. But we have opposed & will continue to
oppose the pick and choose transfers of executives to ITPC Pune that to with
violations of instructions issued by BSNL CO for not posting long stay
officers, posting officers under transfer within Circle. CGM ITPC expressed
that he is not worried about stay and can manage it with anybody. Then we have
reminded him his statement on posting of an executive to ITPC, BSNL makes
expenditure of more than 6-7 lakhs on training of such executive and if he
takes long stayed officers then they will be transferred again from long stay
at ITPC , then it will wastage of BSNL Money. CGMT agreed on our stand and
stressed to have more 4-5 executives i.e. JTOs/SDEs in telecom Wing & about
10 executives in Finance wing i.e. JAO/AO. We assured him total support on
posting of executives to ITPC Pune on basis of uniform criteria. CGMT informed
that he will again write CGMT MH for additional manpower and appealed
delegation to support this request so as to have additional manpower for ITPC
as work of ITPC is being increased in many fold. CGM expressed that there is
huge work at ITPC and all willing executives can be accommodated in phase by
phase manner. We also.
8.
Under utilization of manpower available
in ITPC Pune: We have brought to notice of CGM ITPC that when he is stressing
for additional manpower, the manpower available at ITPC is not being utilized
properly and many of the officers including senior officers are leaving offices
before duty hours. We also brought his notice disparity that some of officers
are overloaded while some are not having even sufficient work in hand. Some of
officers in Staff/Admn section are having practically nil workload and without
such maximum utilization there is no meaning in posting additional executives
to ITPC Pune. Shri. Singh CGM was surprised over such feedback, and added that
he is having full control and information of works allotted to each executives
and agreed that there are some executives of which services are not useful at
ITPC. We informed him that these executives not suitable for ITPC works scan be
better utilized in field
units and ITPC has to finalize the names of such officers &
can ask for replacement and many of the willing executives can be posted to
ITPC & there services can be better utilized at ITPC Pune. Shri. Singh CGM
was very happy on such concrete & effective suggestion and assured to have
steps for efforts for utilization of available manpower and if somebody is not
suitable for IT works, then he will be returned back to MH Circle wherein
services of these officers can be utilized at different general, customer or in
public relations.
9.
Forwarding of Request transfers out of
ITPC Pune: We brought to his notice the issue of withholding request of SDEs
for posting out of ITPC Pune and requested for early & positive decision
& action for forwarding all such request with proper substitute
recommendations and such requests can be considered as one to one basis because
many of executives are willing to join ITP at own cost and there is no meaning
in withholding requests. Shri. Singh CGM agreed to forward all such request
transfers out of ITPC and relieving of the executives for whom order is already
issued. CGM again requested to help in relieving of 2-3 executives posted
before 3 years but not yet relieved by Maharashtra Circle/Pune SSA. But he
specifically mentioned that request on immediate completion of two years break
at ITPC is not possible as ITPC is making expenditure of lakhs of rupees on
their training and executives once posted to ITPC should be ready to serve for
minimum ten years period and only such executives should apply to ITPC units
and not just by keeping mind for break of long stay in their Circle/SSA. We
also conveyed our agreement on this valid and strong point as related to
working of ITPC Pune, and requested not to apply this stand in earlier cases
and same can be applied in all future request to ITPC Pune & requested to
take care for not posting any long stayed officer to ITPC till he breaks his
long stay at SSA/Circle and we have no objection on posting to ITPC after break
in long stay as defined in transfer policy.
10.
Black Magic & Bengali Baba Issue
raised by SNEA (I): We also have detail discussions
on issue of “Black Magic & Bengali Baba”in
issuing posting order of SDEs to ITPC Pune. Shri. Sing was interested to know
the facts thereof and details about stand taken by SNEA (I) MH on this issue.
We have explained entire episode of posting of Executives on pick & choose
basis by violations of guidelines and our strong oppose for biased approach of
the administration in relieving of single executive. We further explained how
longest stayed executives are taking shelter of ITPC to avoid their transfer to
other SSA/Circle, there by suffering other executives. CGM understood the
concern of SNEA, its policy bounded work and real issue. Actually SNEA never
opposed for posting of executives to ITPC. CGM again asked support from our
Association in getting some useful hand in cadre TTAs/JTOs/SDEs /JAO/AOs and we
have made it clear that SNEA (I) will support for posting of Executives to ITPC
if orders are issued as per transfer policy and informed that any pick and
choose transfer will be opposed by SNEA (I) and we should not be blamed at
later stage for any failure or loss on delayed or non joining of officers to
ITPC. On our query about propaganda of loss of more than one crore due to non relieving of SDEs from MH Circle, Shri.
Singh informed that there was no direct financial loss even in thousands of
rupees, but the IN project delayed due to non availability of manpower and
expressed that with joining of all five SDEs from MH Circle now the works of IN
units have started functioning smoothly.
11.
Canteen facility for ITPC Executives: We
brought to his notice that in our last meeting also this issue was raised and
it is shameful that since then one single letter for request for space is not
sent by Admn section. CGM immediately called GM HQ who informed that letter has
been given for additional space and no letter has been given for canteen. CGM
directed to issue fresh letter specifically for canteen. CGM also expressed that
it was better if matter was brought to his notice in between period. He
directed Com. Kokre to remind him after 15 days if
issue not settled and not to wait for next meeting. Finally CGM assured for
getting allotment of space for canteen from PGMT Pune and to resolve the
canteen issue once for all.
12.
Restrictions on Internet facility in DC
unit: We have again brought to notice of CGMT about restrictions on use
of internet in DC unit and some other units of ITPC. CGM expressed that it
cannot be fulfilled due to cyber security threats. On the contrary he requested
to extend help in rising of height of the present compound wall considering
importance of ITPC and possible threats there off. We agreed with CGM ITPC and
assured for the same and suggested to provide internet through separate
Broadband or through Wi-Fi hotspot to executives working at ITPC Pune. We also
discussed to have internet café for exclusive use of executives so that
internet facility can be made available for all. CGM immediately accepted demand
of Wi-FI hotspot at 2-3 locations or to have separate
broadband facility which ever is possible early.
13.
Issues with ERP implementation & its
smooth functioning: We have detail discussion on issues related to ERP and Shri. Singh
CGM ITPC shared with us many of creative ideas of improvement in working of
ERP. He also added that there is no support from ERP team on Saturday &
Sundays and this is really creating problem for field units and stressed for active support
from ERP all seven days and directed us to take up all such issues for early
resolution of matter.
We have very
fruitful and meaning full discussions with Shri. Prabhash Singh CGM ITPC Pune in this meeting
which lasted for one & half hour and let us hope all these issues discussed
will be resolved/settled shortly.

GS, Com W Seshagiri
Rao, Com. A. R. Manani,
Com. V. M. Wankhede AGS, Com. M. B. Sangle, JS West. All the

and problems faced by executives in field. On the special request of house, Com.
K. Sebastin, GS SNEA (I) CHQ and Com. G. L. Jogi President SNEA (I) CHQ addressed the
house on HR point of view.
Ø Com. K. Sebastin GS SNEA (I) CHQ spoken on HR
issues and also gave details about settlement of welfare claims by SNEA (I) CHQ.
He told that SNEA (I) CHQ has cleared 95 welfare claims which is costing around
77, 46,000/- out which 77 cases have been dispatched to the concerned. Speaking
on HR issues, Com GS told that new BSNL management is young and dynamic. He has
also elaborated the contribution made by this association in past and how it is
contributing in present. He specifically mentioned that , after formation of BSNL, TEOA was the only Association
opposed the proposed absorption into BSNL without any terms and conditions like
pay scales, promotion policy and fitment formula. When all other Assns were ready to get absorbed
in BSNL on an adhoc payment of Rs 2000 offered by BSNL Management, TEOA legally
and organizationally fought against this and come out successful. He further stated that
EPF contribution @ 12% Basic plus IDA without ceiling instead of a fixed
amount of 12% of Rs 6500/ with ceiling (paid up to 2005) for the BSNL recruited
employees was another milestone. BSNL taken this decision in May 2005, Board
approved it on 11.07.2005 and orders issued on 12.08.2005. On 18.1.2007 TBP
policy announced which ensured 5 TBP in a span of maximum 26 years of service,
another career breakthrough as a result of our struggle in 2002-03. Till that
time hardly one or two TBP was available in DoT/BSNL from JTO to Lateral JTO
and from SDE to Sr SDE after 12 years of service in each cadre. SNEA (I) fought
the court case against LDCE which resulted in the promotion of about 900 JTOs
of 2001 batch in the LDCE in 2008. After that SNEA (I) struggled for revamping
the LDCE and OMR system introduced, descriptive type question pattern changed
to objective type multiple choice questions, giving no chance for subjectivity.
BSNLMS RR 2009 come into force on 14.07.2009 abolishing the bottle neck of JTS,
ensuring promotions directly from SDE to DE/AGM and further up to GM/CGM in the
coming days. A direct rect JTO was retiring with just
one promotion as SDE till 2009, but BSNLMS RR ensured that the Executives are
getting promotion up to DGM today and the younger generation will definitely
reach up to GM/CGM. Further progress made in the BSNLMS RR in 2013-14 by
increasing the regular quota from 50% to 75%, the real beneficiaries will be
the younger generation. After long legal
hurdle, last LDCE also conducted for the vacancies up to 2009-10. He further
added that main concern for recruiting MT was to recruit executives /managers
who will lead this company at this important juncture. He also gave details
about forthcoming DPC from DE-DGM in which nearly 150 executives will be
promoted. Finally he assured the house that SNEA (I) is duty bound to
protect the interest of BSNL and also the executives working in BSNL.
Ø
Com. G. L. Jogi, President SNEA (I) CHQ in his motivational speech highlighted the need of good
leaders in each and every segment of BSNL. He told that Human resource is
continuous process and continuity of this process shall depend upon our
organizational preparedness. Growth of us is possible unless company grow. Our
past struggle was not focused on our growth of the company as financially BSNL
was in better financial position but now we have to struggle for the growth of
this company. He told that SNEA (I) is having huge gigantic task of dealing
with 3rd PRC. So it is high time to have vibrant leadership at all
the key positions and segments of BSNL. He elaborated that our vision is to
lead this company from front and that is why MT was introduced. So everyone has
to accept this challenge and compete in the exam so that you can lead this
company by grabbing key positions. Our main concern was also to get good
leadership who will think differently and that was possible through MT process.
He told that some of the associations are acting as negative force at this
critical moment when there is need of unity. He emphasized that formation of
subsidiary company, merger of BSNL-MTNL without clearing the outstanding dues
of MTNL etc are calculated moves to destabilize BSNL. Against this he appealed
all to get ready for the struggle since SNEA (I) will never and never allow
fragmentation of this company. At last he appreciated the efforts taken by all
for making the CEC at Solapur a grand success and reiterated that he is getting
energy when he visits active and vibrant circler like MH.

Committee meeting on 13.08.2015:
The Joint Committee discussed implementation of CPSU cadre hierarchy in BSNL.
The draft proposal for Time bound functional promotion up to DGM level with
stringent attendant condition of “very good” bench mark even for JTO to SDE
promotion discussed. Joint committee is of the unanimous opinion of Time bound
functional promotion up to Sr SDE and equivalent grades. Members from official
side vehemently opposed the proposal of Time bound functional promotion to DE
and DGM grades citing the huge number of more than 13,000 Executives working in
DE/DGM scale and more than 5,000 Executives working in DGM scale where the
present total sanctioned strength is 5303 (3978 for promotion) and 1361
respectively. This number will increase every year. This will create chaos in
the company, according to them. Management side is of the firm view that at
least 50% dropping is required in promotion from DE onwards which Assns
opposing. Members from Assn side welcomed the draft proposal and demanded
reducing the stringent attendant conditions. It is decided to continue the
discussion on the draft proposal. Submissions by

19 AUG 15: Forum
meeting with CMD BSNL on formation of separate subsidiary Tower Company: Forum had a detail meeting with CMD BSNL on 13-08-2015
on the cabinet decision to form a separate subsidiary Tower Company. Mgt
appraised during discussions that formation of subsidiary company is one way
beneficial to improve the accounts of BSNL as huge amount shown as depreciation
of tower assets will be shifted to the subsidiary company which is much needed
in view of forthcoming pay revision in year 2017. In case of any strategic sale
or joint venture or disinvestment, BSNL will lose the management control. BSNL
Board should have full control on appointment of board, employees and the
operation of the Subsidiary Company. Employees will be deputed from BSNL and their
benefits will be governed by the BSNL policies. BSNL board must be given full
authority. The constituents of Inter-ministerial group is
not yet clear.
After the meeting
with CMD, forum has conducted its own meeting and decided to have a detail
meeting with DOT Secretary to know the detail of cabinet note then it will be
decided for intensifying the struggle. The cabinet decision is based on the
recommendations of the consultant. In its recommendation
consultant recommended for a joint venture. Reliance-Jio
and others may be waiting for this. It will be the first step towards
disintegration of BSNL. Forum will be taking some tough decisions in this
regard in the next meeting on 31stAugust after getting details.

free night calling and free roaming facility at this point of view for
increasing landline and GSM customers in MH Circle. He also narrated the urgent
need of replacement of battery sets in most of the GSM sites in MH. He was
optimistic that installation of ZTE BTS will improve GSM service but also

mainly due to lack of proper planning and strategy by BSNL management. He

appealed all to think before opting and applying for J&K Circle due to the
prevailing managerial constraints there in J&K. He pinpointed how our own

improving quality of service in landline as well as GSM in spite of having
hurdles. He told to come forward and make consistent efforts to increase BSNL’
market share which is the need of time. He explained the present condition of
various DPCs for promotion being pursued by SNEA (I) CHQ and assured that all
the legal hurdles will be sidelined with consistent efforts. He thanked
organizers for invitation
Ø Com. A. R. Manani, VP SNEA (I) CHQ, stressed upon maintaining the quality of
service and raised the concern why it is not being maintained. BBNL was unnecessarily formed when there was
no need of it because most of the work was carried out utilising BSNL’s resources.
Now cabinet decision of forming subsidiary tower company from BSNL raised the
doubts in the minds of BSNL’s employees and they are more worried. He expressed
that proper planning and strategy which is needed from top is absolutely
missing. In such situation responsibility of major association, SNEA (I)
increases. He emphasized the need of association’s subscription from salary
since as of now it has become cumbersome to collect the subscription from each
and everybody. He raised the issue of billing of lease line in every SSA since
it was observed that proper billing of lease line is not being carried out in
some of the SSAs. He expressed his deep concern against govt for not returning
the spectrum charges to BSNL in spite of several assurances in past. He
explained the unjustified deloittee committee
recommendations, uncalled proposed merger of BSNL-MTNL and told that these
proposals are not beneficial as far as BSNL is concerned. All such issues are
being raised by vested interest time to time to divert the attentions of
employees and forcing them to come on street. At last, he assured the house
that SNEA (I) CHQ will try its level best to resolve all such issues as it has
wide experience and is the strongest association in BSNL for dealing with all
such concerns.
Ø Com.
K. Sebastin, GS SNEA (I) CHQ in
his speech congratulated Kerala
comrades for their sustained,
prolonged struggle in the form of hunger strike and non
cooperation against vindictive actions, trade union rights, corruption charges
and growth related issues. He told that SNEA (I) and BSNLEU started joint
struggle on 03/08/2015 against victimization of activists of both organizations and restoring
trade union rights. He explained how the ex-Kerala CGM has put profit earning
Kerala circle in loss. Huge no of landline, broadband, lease lines were
disconnected causing notable loss to BSNL and this was mainly due to
substantial damage done by Ex-CGM Kerala to the working culture of Kerala
circle. He told that prolonged struggle
yielded positive result and
BSNLCO swiftly acted and new CGMT was posted on 07/08/2015. With new CGMT, all
outstanding issues were resolved within one hour and call of agitation was
withdrawn. He mentioned that all dies-non , charge sheets against the agitating
leaders were taken back thereby
cancelling all vindictive transfers etc
bringing Kerala Circle back to normalcy after two years and it was the
end to the negative forces and critics. He
stressed on popularizing the recent free roaming/free night calling scheme
thereby grabbing more no of customers for BSNL. He told that BSNLCO has made
materials available in the field and still there is shortage of some materials
in MH circle, it will be gradually supplied soon. Ten circles came up positive
in landlines and more than 15 circles in MNP. There is 36% increase in mobile
connection in June and it is crossing 45% in the month of July. He assured to
look after the BTS proposal submitted by Gadchiroli SSA. He told that partial
payment of Rs 1215 crores will be given back to BSNL
as BWA spectrum charges. He narrated the proposed move of Govt to merge
BSNL-MTNL, form separate transmission assets, unlock land & building and
form subsidiary tower company which is not at all beneficial to BSNL. He
mentioned that instead of giving assured financial assistance to BSNL such
moves are being played to weaken & finally disinvest this huge gigantic
BSNL Company. He explained how BSNL is
over burdened by paying huge pension contribution as per 60:40 formula and the need of joint struggle to remove such
unilateral partial condition. He asked every BSNL employees to come forward and
give their best to BSNL since as of now govt. is not going to help any PSU as
per the cabinet decision of not giving any financial assistance to any PSU. He
appealed to make sincere efforts for converting all non-feasible connections
into feasible one.
Ø
Com. G. L. Jogi, President SNEA(I) CHQ in his
roaring speech appealed all comrades to come out of the dream that government will
be responsible for making BSNL’s employees payment. He told that management has
given ample amount of materials in the field. If some materials are not
available in MH it can be diverted from other circle by persuasion. But self
initiatives are needed from each and every one sitting in this house if we want
third PRC to be taken from management. In a clear term he told that BSNL
management will only come forward for giving third PRC if BSNL will be
profitable before 2017. He expressed his displeasure for BSNL’s failure in NOFN
in timely laying fiber network in India. He told that
Govt has now formed Bharat Net where private companies will be given this
assignment for laying fiber network in future. He
emphasized the need of 3G network in every corner of India considering the
importance of data than voice. He has given confidence that we as an
association can do any sort of miracle by our own initiatives which otherwise
can be very difficult by management. For this he has given the example of
Australian telecom trade unions /association how they covered 10% traffic loss
by their own initiatives and combined efforts. In concluding speech, he
appealed the comrades of SNEA (I) Maharashtra to contribute more & more
towards the growth of BSNL.
Ø
Com. W. Sheshagiri Rao,
Veteran
leader and Ex-GS TEOA/JTOA & Ex-President SNEA(I) CHQ in his address enlightened house in depth about the role of
this association for the upward revisions in the pay scales (1986, 1996 and
2000 in BSNL). Five Time bound promotions each after
every 5 years instead of just one time bound promotion after 12 years in DoT
era. Com. Rao in his address reminded the comrades
that through continuous struggle during the last three decades we could make
significant improvements in the career of each and every Executive. He explained the history of this Association and the JTO cadre.
Along with the change of designation, pay scales and status of JTO cadre, i.e.
from ESP to JE and then to JTO, the name of the Association also changed from
TESA to JETA(I), JETA(I) to JTOA(I), JTOA(I) to TEOA(I) and finally to SNEA(I).
The pay scales also got changed from Rs 1400 to Rs 1640 in 1986, then to Rs
2000 equivalent in 1996 and finally to E1A from 01.10.2000. The status also
changed from Group C to Group B Gazetted in 1996 and then absorbed/recruited as
an Executive in BSNL. JTO and SDE cadre got one time bound promotion each in
1990s, first time in the history of any central Govt department. All these
achieved due to continuous struggle of our senior comrades in the banner of
JETA (me) / JTOA (I) / TEOA (I). He told that salary of the basic cadre JTO at
that point of time was very less and we struggled for getting comfortable pay
but now condition is all together different. Now executives are getting
sufficient pay and third PRC is at our doorstep. He asked the question where do we stand. He
further explained the reason for giving TBP and added that it was our dream to
have our own executives to become DGM/GM but unfortunately some of them are
denying promotions. No other company has given payment like BSNL and hence it
is not justifiable to deny promotions but lead this company from front so as to
uplift it’s financial condition. He told that you have
to give your best for the company then you can demand for better payment. It is
for your upliftment and not for the company in real
turn. It will be big loss to all of you if you lose third PRC and hence it is
high time to make sustained efforts in making BSNL profitable. He was
optimistic that MH circle will definitely come up profitable in days to come.
He mentioned that the organisationally SNEA(I) Maharashtra under leadership of
Com. Adasul CS is very active & over the days it is become vibrant Circle
with many of the milestone achievement. He further added that as many of the
activities are taken care by SNEA (I) MH there is now limited scope for Com.
Adasul at Circle level activities and directed that he should look upward for
betterment of SNEA (I) Executives and overall growth of BSNL and render his
services at wider level. In conclusion of speech he conveyed thanks for
inviting him for this CEC Meeting Solapur and conveyed best wishes for CEC
Solapur.
Ø
Com. S. V. Bhad, Circle President SNEA(I) MH Circle n the concluding presidential speech,
explained the prevailing situation in Maharashtra, how there is shortage of materials
like drop wire, fund shortage in some of the SSAs and difficulties faced by the
executives while imparting essential telecom services to our esteemed
customers. He told that this is as per the reports submitted by some of the DS
in delegate session and these hurdles are required to be removed first. He told
that improvement is essential and customers are still having faith on BSNL but
it is equally important to resolve such practical difficulties on top most
priority. On behalf of Maharashtra comrades, he assured the CHQ Leaders that
our executives will try to give their best by utilizing available resources and
assured house that SNEA MH will definitely raise this issue of shortage of
materials and fund at right platform so that
conducive environment will be created for the executives working in
field.

6 AUG 15: BSNL CO calls for willingness in DE Cadre for posting at BBNW
Mumbai & Delhi. Letter <<<>>>
5 AUG 15: Joint Committee meeting on
CPSU cadre hierarch: The
Joint committee meeting held today and discussion took place for about two
hours. Chairman and members from Management side proposed very stringent
attendant conditions along with interview, grade of service and educational
qualifications to decide the promotions. The bench mark should be minimum “Very
Good” according to them even for JTO to SDE promotion.
SNEA (I) made the following submissions:
1. The terms and conditions of
absorption in BSNL ensured Time Bound promotions from JTO to SG JAG grade
between 4 to 6 years with attendant conditions, without linking promotions with
availability of posts. Promotions beyond SGJAG will be based on availability of
posts.
2. However in Executive
Promotion Policy (EPP), the promotions are divided into two parts, I. Time
bound IDA pay scale up gradations and II. Post based promotions.
SNEA (I) very
strongly opposed any interview for promotions or promotions based on
educational qualifications. Now thousands of Executives are working in
different scales. They are getting pay scales and good pay. But due to various
reasons, mainly due to litigations they are not getting functional promotion
which provides higher responsibility and status. For example thousands of
Executives are in Sr SDE scale (E3) but working as JTO. Similarly thousands of
Executives are in DGM scale (E5) or in DE scale (E4) but still working as SDEs.
Again, recently the promotions in almost all the cadres in BSNL are stayed by
Hon Chandigarh Tribunal without implementing judgment on Nagaraju
case on SC/ST reservation. So the new promotion policy should address the twin
problems of i) seniority related issues and ii)
availability of vacancies/posts as much possible and ensure smooth promotions.
The following points are to be deliberated.
a)
Time bound functional promotion has to be implemented upto which grade, without linking it with availability of
posts and minimum how many promotions can be assured. For this data can be
verified to know how many Executives are working in each scale/grade.
b)
Reporting and hierarchy to be followed in the new set up and
duties and responsibilities.
c)
Bench mark for each promotion to be reviewed and decided as
per the present practice.
d)
Qualifying service and quantum of relaxation in service.
e)
New Designations to be introduced in BSNL.
f)
Financial implications.
a)
No of promotions: The minimum number of promotions should be
maintained as 5 itself in the new scheme also.
b)
No of Executives working in each grade. Majority of the
Executives are working in Telecom Engg wing. The
total number is about 34,500.
c)
JTO Scale-- About 4800, SDE Scale -- About 4300, Sr SDE
Scale - About 11800, AGM Scale -- About 7800, DGM Scale --About 5200, SG
JAG Scale -- About 600.
d)
Accounts – 6500, Civil – 1747, Elect: 1134, Arch --- 147, TF --- 122, Misc – 425.
e)
Reporting, hierarchy to be followed and duties and
responsibilities: Bell curve issue can be addressed by following
hierarchy. Existing hierarchy to be changed (JTO -à SDE -àDE -à DGM) to JTO/SDE/Sr SDE/DE --à DGM/SG JAG -àGM -à PGM. Duties and responsibilities can be
modified accordingly.
f)
Bench mark: BSNL Executives are working in different
areas like External, Internal, installations, planning, offices, mobile,
transmission, landline etc. The performance of the Executives
are depending upon the area of their posting and availability of
material, manpower, labour, stores, equipments etc. So the performance of the
Executives working in various areas cannot be compared at all on the basis of
APAR alone. Most of the other PSUs are in production sector and the nature of
job is more or less same or comparable. They are having time tested mechanisms
of performance evaluation. So the promotion mechanism in other CPSUs cannot be
copied as such in BSNL at least for the time being. So the new bench mark
should be finalized considering this fact as well as and the bench mark
existing today for post based promotions.
g)
Qualifying service and quantum of relaxation in service: The
qualifying service should be between 4 to 6 years as per the terms and
condition and it should not be more than 6 years in any case.
h)
Note: Now IDA pay scale up gradations are given on
completion of qualifying service. Post based promotions are given with
relaxation in service (1 year relaxation for JTO to SDE promotion where the
qualifying service is 3 years). Since the pre-appointment training varies from
one to two years, relaxation of qualifying service to the Executives of same rect year (in case of rect) /
vacancy year (in case of promotion) also to be considered. Similar relaxation
is to be considered for promotion to DE grade also for the existing Executives
working at SDE/Sr SDE/DE scales. However no relaxation is required for Sr SDE
grade. For the Executives who got relaxation for promotion to the SDE grade as
per the new scheme, further relaxation at Sr SDE and DE grade are not required.
i)
New Designation to be followed as done in BSNLCO:
j)
After discussion, Mgt side agreed for Time Bound functional
promotions to SDE and Sr SDE grades. Promotion to AGM and DGM grades on time
bound basis will collapse the existing mechanism, according to the members from
Mgt side. We strongly opposed this view. Discussion will continue in
the next meeting on 13.08.2015, 3 PM.

After receiving the information about encroachment, Com. Pravin Isokar,
SDE RSU approached Police station to
lodge the FIR on 28/07/2015 but he was asked to wait for 6-7 hours due to
political influence. This has given opportunity to the encroacher to complete
his encroachment work by building wall more speedily on BSNL owned land. When

By sensing the need, leaders of all the unions and Associations of
BSNL Amravati came together on the platform of Joint Forum and conducted an
