31 JAN 15: Meeting with ED/finance: CHQ President Com.
G.L.Jogi, and AGS, Com Daihya, met ED/finance MS Sujata Ray and elaborately
discussed following important issues relating to Telecom Finance personnel:
A. Proposed
amendment of BSNLMS RRs of telecom finance: We informed ED/finance that
telecom finance personnel continue to be grossly discriminated against because
of inordinate delay in amending RRs to bring them at par with Telecom Engg. and
that this discrimination is unfair, unwarranted and completely unacceptable to
this Association. Simply because Board/directors from DOT want HR
plan to be finalized by BSNL and for that reason they are vetoing the proposed
amendment is totally unreasonable and irrational. ED/Finance, while
acknowledging our serious and genuine concern on this issue, maintained that
this issue has to be dealt by the BSNL/Board and that she is broadly in
agreement to push through the proposed amendment in order to bring about
complete parity between telecom finance and Engg. wings in so far as RRs are
concerned. However, she advised us to discuss the issue with concerned officers
and assured us of her support on this issue. We will be very shortly discussing
this issue with Board of Directors from DOT and CMD/BSNL, urging upon them to
immediately end this discrimination by enhancing the percentage of STS posts to
be filled up on regular basis from existing 50% to 75%. We assure our telecom
finance Comrades that we will pursue this issue vigorously and relentlessly
till the proposed and badly delayed amendment of RRs is approved by BSNL/Board.
B. Filling up
about 250 unfilled posts of CAOs immediately: We requested ED/finance to initiate
immediate action towards filling up of about 250 available posts of CAOs since
large number of CAOs are getting retired and are thus being deprived of their
promotion. ED/Finance assured of very quick action to fill up all the available
posts of CAOs as quickly as possible.

total support in getting the preparatory work relating to DPC like collection
of CRs and VCs completed at the earliest. GM(P, once again while acknowledging
the enormous efforts that Association is putting in to get CRs and VCs from
Circles, fully assured that he and his entire team are committed to complete
the work and issue the promotion orders as quickly as possible.
30 JAN 15: Meeting with Director(HR): CHQ
President and AGS, Com Daihya, had a detailed discussion with Director(HR) on
the issue of ongoing DPC from JTO to TES Gr B, urging upon him to direct the
concerned officers to expedite DPC and also personally monitor the progress of
the DPC. We informed Director (HR) that Association exclusively made singular
and tireless efforts for the last more than two years in getting the Court case
dismissed at Ernakulam CAT and now the Management should demonstrate its
concern and by getting the promotion orders issued at the earliest. We also
apprised Director (HR) as to how JTOs belonging to year of recruitment 1995 are
awaiting for first promotion of their career and have had been suffering for
the last about three to four years despite availability of thousands of posts
in seniority quota. Finally, we requested Director (HR) to clear the proposal for holding of
DPC immediately and very strongly pleaded with him and urged upon him to clear
the proposal for holding of DPC for the vacancy year up to 2013-14. We also
informed Dir (HR) about the massive and strenuous efforts that Association has
so far undertaken and is continuing with in collecting CRs and VCs from the
fields units. Director (HR) was kind enough and expressed strong optimism and interest
in getting the DPC work completed at the earliest and assured that, besides
directing concerned officers to expedite DPC work, he will definitely monitor
the progress of DPC personally and very closely. He also categorically assured
us that he will clear the proposal for holding DPC for the vacancy year up to
2013-14. Subsequently, we have had extensive follow up discussions with DGM (P)
on how to go about in completing DPC work at the earliest.

Happy Republic day
25 JAN 15: great Joke of DE Looking
After Arrangements by CIRCLE Management: : AGM Staff Mumbai issued orders for DE LA
Arrangements merely for 23 SDEs against controversial vacancies of 85 DEs
declared on 13/01/2015. Order <<<>>>
This is “Special Gift” on eve of 66th Republic Day
of India by Shri. M. K. Jain, CGMT MH Circle who is presently on duty but at Bhopal, his home town
since 24/01/2015, and this time four days in advance on name of preparation of
West Zone Meeting which is scheduled on 28/01/2015. As usual style of functioning from out of HQ
Mumbai and in this case from Bhopal, he has given consent cum order for issuing
DE LA orders of only 23 SDEs against 85 declared vacancies and when APRs/VCs
were called for 100 SDEs and more than 50 SDEs are presently compelled to work
as DE LA for handling multiple charges of DEs.
With this senseless order CGMT and his HR
team has made it clear that DE looking After is neither promotion nor
arrangements for BSNL requirements but it is big joke and their special idea of making executives fool by completing mere formalities. When Shri. M.K.Jain is talking about efficiency of
executives; such hopeless HR activity by his office makes it clear why the
performance of BSNL in Maharashtra Circle is very poor. One should feel ashamed
for such careless attitude that to be while dealing with the officers who are
important part of management in BSNL and taking care of different issues and
are part of decision making process, but it is not case for our circle
management headed by Shri. M. K. Jain as CGMT MH and it has entered phase/role of “Biggest Joker cum Magician” and creating Jokes after Jokes and Magic
after Magic.
It is clear that Circle management is not
serious about the requirement of DEs in Maharashtra Circle which we have
witnessed as it has kept mum just by writing one letter to BSNL CO for
retention of DEs while more than 40 DEs were transferred out of Maharashtra
Circle in DE Reg promotions and when more than 176 post of DEs were & are
vacant in Maharashtra Circle. In earlier spell of DE LA arrangements also, the
orders were issued for 60 SDEs when requirement was of hundreds of DEs. Now
when more 40 officers are transferred out of Maharashtra Circle, the Circle
management slaps a joke by issuing DE LA orders only for 23 SDEs, when as on
today more than 50 SDEs from different SSAs in Maharashtra Circle including
Circle office Mumbai which is directly handled by CGMT MH are compelled to
perform duties of DEs illegally with local order as the BSNL CO orders do not
permit for such local LA arrangements. When more than 176 post of DEs are
vacant out of 405 sanctioned post, HR team has shown vacancy of only 85 DEs and
directly taken decision to keep 91 post vacant at initial stage itself and now
out of 85 declared vacant post only 23 are filled up and 62 post of DEs declared
as vacant post are not filled mainly due
to lethargy and poor strategy to deal with this issue and final result is 153 post
of DEs are vacant and many of our Regular /Adhoc DEs and some SDEs are compelled to
hold the responsibility of different vacant post and unfortunately all SDEs
working as DE LA are in trouble for illegal use of administrative and financial
powers as BSNL CO orders did not allow any local looking after arrangement by
SSA without any order from Circle office.
Just, one day before, i.e. on evening
hours of 23/01/2015, when we have confirmed from Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai, DGM
HR/Admn Mumbai about status of DE L/A and it was informed us that the work is
going on but it cannot be completed before 30/01/2015 as CGMT MH is out of HQ.
It is also important that till VC is not received and same has been clearly
mentioned at Sr No. 2 of this DE LA Order. Then what made to Circle management to issue
partial order completing formality of issuing DE LA Orders when CGMT MH is out
of HQ. It may be again “Black
Magic” & “Bengali Baba” which has acted upon our Circle
Management and within 4-5 working ours entire scenario is changed and with this
Black Magic effect the DE LA order is issued only for 23 SDEs. With this circle
management completed one more formality and given lesson to all of us that we
all should not worry about results and complete our works by completing mere
formalities and should never worry about results. This important quote of “Geeta” now seems
to be slogan of Circle Management and this DE LA order is just one of its
examples. It unfortunate that now days, our entire team of HR seems to boneless
and in such attitude had taken single stand to follow the orders of “Boss” and
do not show any responsibility of wrong or right or usefulness of their actions
and entire actions of HR team seems to be at par with “slave” blindly following orders of his “Aaka”.
Now days it has become routine practice
that CGMT MH is performing duties while he is out of HQ as we have witnessed
that since he has taken over charge of CGMT MH, he is out of Mumbai for more
than 20 days in many of months on name of different tours of SSAs and mainly to
Nagpur before and after connecting holidays and for Goa during short holidays.
This is first time that within period of nine months CGMT MH has visited Nagpur
for 3-4 times and Goa also for more or less occasions and Pune SSA at the
interval of every fortnight. This excludes his family tour from Mumbai to Goa,
Sindhudurg, Kolhapur, Satara, Pune etc & back to Mumbai wherein while on
family tour he has given time for different meetings and definitely on duty
itself.
This happens when Shri. M. K. Jain as CGMT has issued orders for all other
officers including SSA Heads, for not leaving HQ without his permission and for
such lapses, Shri. Jain has taken many of officers to task. But now by such
actions Shri.
M.K.Jain, CGMT MH has
created great example for others, how to be at our home town or at desired
place and at the same time how should be we on duty even after away from HQ and
share responsibilities of family as well as office without taking any leave.
Apart from these SSA tours, Shri. Jain plans monthly 2-3 official tours to
Delhi, sometimes via Bhopal also and minimum two tours to Pune by adopting
different ideas of official meetings. We appeal all our
comrades and SSA Heads also, to follow footsteps of our CGMT MH and be on duty
by such official meeting & it has no meaning where you are and one should
not be panic on such strict instructions of being at HQ on holidays, but should
adopt such “on duty” policies in tune with our head of Circle.
It is understood that this formality of
DE LA is completed in haste as earlier spell of DE L/A expired on 16/01/2015
and there is no chance of CGMT MH to be at Mumbai before 30/01/2015 and Sr GM
HR/Admn Mumbai will be on leave up to 31/03/2015. By this incomplete act,
Circle management may be happy with completing formality, but what about the
need of BSNL and what about the SDEs who are compelled to work as DE illegally
and holding many fold charges of different DEs? Definitely no one including
CGMT MH has answer for it.
CGMT MH and his team has time and full scope to deal with individual cases
received by sms by violating rules & guidelines of BSNL and we all have
witnessed that actions are taken even on special ‘sms’ of individuals, CGMT MH has time for creating trouble for executives on
basis of senseless complaints by executives and Chamchas of CGMT MH but it is
unfortunate that same CGMT MH and his HR team has no time to deal with such
important issue which is affecting working of Maharashtra Circle and creating
hurdles and legal cases for our executives who are compelled to work as DE LA
without any order from Circle Office.
This order shows the depth to which our most beloved CGMT MH and his HR team is worried about
working of BSNL and why entire work process of BSNL Maharashtra Circle is
stalled/held up. It is shame on part of Circle Management that since last one
year very important portfolio of CPC /MM Section of Circle Office Mumbai, which
is dealing with procurement of different stores/items and equipments for entire
Maharashtra Circle and which is always under scanner of Vigilance, is headed by
one SDE who is illegally looking after DE Charge as Circle office has not
issued his orders for DE LA in last spell of Sept 2014 and in this fresh spell
also his name did not appear. It was height of mismanagement & careless approach when same
SDE was compelled to work as DGM L/A during Child Care leave of DGM CPC Mumbai, but later on this idea was dropped. It
is not case only with CPC section, but situation is same or worst in many of
other SSAs & units wherein many of our comrades are holding important
portfolios in many fold and may come in trouble.
This DE LA order is not less than the “Biggest Joke of the Year” and its is special design by our Circle
Management for fooling our executives by calling APRs, VCs, wasting stationary
and time of different offices for period of more than one month and showing
that management is giving them promotion. SNEA (I) MH salutes to this greatest joke by greatest
management and their approach in dealing with HR issues. HATS OFF to our HR Team Headed by CGMT MH Circle for such a
special gift for our executives on eve of 66th Republic Day of
India.
Yes Comrades, it is great gift by Circle
Management on eve of 66th Republic Day and in this age of return gift, SNEA (I) Maharashtra
appeals all our executives to give “Return gift”
to CGMT MH and his HR team by refusing such senseless promotion and show that Circle
management cannot treat executives as slaves and it has to take proper care of the issues of
executives. We are not restricting the SDEs who are willing to accept such
senseless order of DE L/A as well as local DE L/A orders and such willing
comrades are free to take over charge, but at later stage please do not blame anyone if you are in
trouble for such illegal activity violating orders of BSNL CO and if you come
under scanner of Vigilance mainly for utilizing financial as well as
administrative powers illegally beyond the capacity of SDE.
SNEA (I) Maharashtra has received many of
the calls and complaints about this hopeless activity & mere completion of
official formality of DE LA thereby slapping DE LA orders as greatest joke to
our executives compelling our comrades to work as DE LA illegally, and making
our responsible officers to work under juniors mainly due to lethargic stand of
Circle management in issuing orders and delay in decision making process.
SNEA (I) Maharashtra will take up this
matter with Shri. M.K. Jain,
CGMT MH on return to HQ on 30/01/2015 but till time there is no chance of any
correction in this order as CGMT MH and GM HR/Admn Mumbai both are out of HQ
and changes if reality is understood by management, are expected only after
02/02/2015. We further appeal our comrades, to have patience and adopt wait and
watch policy as followed by CGMT MH, enjoy holidays in special style, use your
sixth sense in accepting such “disrespecting” orders, hold multiple portfolios
of different DEs if you desires so, but please do not create troubles for you
for no mistake on your part and please do not become part of joke created by
CGMT MH & his HR team with their special negligent HR approach.
We convey best wishes for all such SDEs who are ready to
accept this order LA order and willing to work as DE LA either locally or as
per this partial order and ready to hold responsibility of different portfolios
of DEs creating trouble for self as well as for other executives who are
deprived from their basic right.
25 JAN 15: Discussion
with CMD/BSNL regarding ongoing JTO to SDE DPC: CHQ President
had an elaborate discussion with CMD on the issue of completion of ongoing DPC
from JTO to TES Gr B as quickly as possible and sought his personal
intervention in ensuring that promotion orders are issued at the earliest. CHQ
President apprised in detail CMD as to how JTOs belonging to year of
recruitment 1995 are waiting for their first promotion for the last about
twenty years due to abnormal delay in issuing of promotion orders because of
litigations.
CMD was also briefed about tireless, singular and sustained
efforts and persuasion of this Association in getting the cases at Chennai/CAT
and Ernakulam/CAT which led to inordinate delay in holding of DPC
comprehensively dismissed by engaging the best legal counsels. Inordinate delay
in issuing the promotion orders has led to intense demoralization and great
frustration amongst about 8000 JTOs who have completed more than 18 years and
are painfully and unfortunately waiting for the first promotion of their career
despite availability of more than 5000 TES Gr B vacancies in seniority quota,
CMD was informed.
Serious and profound concern of the Association over abnormal
delay was conveyed to CMD in clear terms and he was urged upon to monitor the
progress of the DPC very closely to facilitate issuing of orders before VCs get
expired on 8th Feb,15. CMD was kind enough to assure that he will direct the
concerned officers to complete DPC as quickly as possible and would also
monitor progress of the DPC personally.
25 JAN 15: Discussion
with GM (P) and DGM (P) regarding ongoing JTOP to TES Gr B DPC: CHQ President
and AGS, Com Wankhede, then had follow up discussions with GM (P) and DGM (P),
urging upon them to complete the DPC on a war footing basis and reassuring them
of complete support and full involvement of the Association in getting ACRs and
VCs. We also drew the attention of GM(P) to complete the DPC within a couple of
days in view of VCs getting expired on 8th Feb, 15. GM(P), while fully acknowledging and
appreciating the tireless and continued efforts of the Association in pursuing
receipt of ACRs and VCs from various Circles and also extending helping hand in
completing the preparatory work relating to DPC, assured that best efforts to
issue the promotion orders at the earliest would be made.

Status
of VCs/APRs of JTOs in Maharashtra Circle for SDE Regular promotion under 67%
quota: The
VCs, APRs and assessment sheet of all JTOs from Maharashtra Circle eligible for
SDE Regular promotion have been reached to BSNL Corporate Office and nothing is
pending at Maharashtra Circle. The details were emailed by Estt Section of MH
Circle to BSNL CO before one month and now Com. D.D. Pardeshi, AD HRD –I Mumbai has personally handed
over hard copies of Assessment Sheet & APRs to Personal section of BSNL CO
on 21/01/2015. The VCRs of Maharashtra comrades are valid up to 08/02/2015 and
if the promotion orders are issued before 08/02/2015, then there is no issue
but if it is delayed beyond 08/02/2015, then fresh VCs will be required. SNEA
(I) MH will take up matter with concerned officers for keeping ready fresh VCRs
by advance action, in case overall promotion process and orders are delayed
beyond 08/02/2015. All DS, CoBs & Concerned comrades are also requested to
be alert, keep the VCRs ready for all
eligible JTOs and send it immediately if called by BSNL CO/ Circle office
Mumbai.
23 JAN 15:
Status
of request Transfers of JAOs/AOs/CAOs within Maharashtra Circle: Since period of more than two years ,
none of request transfer of Finance wing officers has been considered by FC
Section including that of the officers working at Tenure stations declared by
FC section for Finance wing Officers.
Even waiting list of pending request is not properly maintained & published
by FC Section for long time and everyone is in dark about its status. SNEA (I) Maharashtra has taken up matter for
pending request transfers with concerned officers and mainly for pending
request transfers of all JAOs, AOs & CAOs in uniform policy manner.
Accordingly process has been initiated by FC section and hopefully orders for
all the pending request transfer of finance wing officers are expected by end
of January 2015.
As waiting list is not published, all the concerned officers waiting for
their request transfers are requested to confirm their names in waiting list of
request transfer with AO FC Mumbai and get it updated/corrected, otherwise some
names may be left out. This is quiet possible as FC section is neglected for
long time as the post of AO FC Mumbai was vacant for reasonable time, the
officer posted as AO FC are transferred frequently and abruptly, there is no
DGM assigned for FC Section and CAO who is overloaded with works of sections
other than FC section is given charge of DGM FC & also that of CAO FC
Mumbai. Hence, it is possible that many of applications may be missing and the
concerned comrades will have to take initiatives and confirm their names in
waiting list of request transfers by calling AO FC Mumbai.
23 JAN 15: Meeting
with GM (F)/BSNL CO: CHQ President and AGS, Com Wankhede, met Sh. Bhardwaj, GM (F)/BSNL
CO and thanked him for taking due cognizance of and appropriate action on the
issues raised by this Association relating to JAO to AO DPC nearly three
months, particularly with regard to filling up of quota in respect of SC/ST
Comrades and other aspects also. We also requested and urged upon GM (F) to
take immediate action to fill up about 250 CAO vacancies at the earliest. GM
(F) fully assured that these orders to fill up these vacancies would be issued
very shortly.
The issue of
pushing through the amendment of BSNL MS RRs to increase the quota to fill up
CAO vacancies on regular basis from 50% to 75% was also discussed. GM (F) in
this connection advised us to meet the concerned members of the BSNL/ Board to
get the amendment approved by the board. We assured GM (F) that very shortly we
will be discussing this issue with members of BSNL/Board from DOT and try to
get them on board to push through the amendment.
The issue of
discrepancies in posting of AOs in the recent promotion orders, particularly
with regard to UP (E), was also discussed. GM (F), while maintaining that
specific criterion has been strictly followed, assured that specific cases

16 JAN 15: Meeting
with Secretary, DoT on 14.01.2015:
A. 3G ICR pact by private
operators and its impact on BSNL: Both GS and President explained the issue
in detail to Sec/DoT. The case was originated as a result of the petition filed
by SNEA in the Hon Delhi HC. The 3G ICR pact affects BSNL business. Also BSNL
is forced to pay pan India spectrum charges, about 5000 Crores excess of other
operators paid. BSNL invested huge money for infrastructure also but the other
operators are providing services without having a network and no investment for
network expansion. In the case of TDSAT verdict, Sri Kuldeep Singh is having
conflict of interest since he has already taken a stand as CMD/DIR (OP), MTNL that 3G roaming is correct and called for tender for
3G roaming pact with other operators. Assn requested to bring these facts
before the Hon SC during pleadings.
B. Pension contribution
on actual basic pay instead of maximum of the pay scale as per DoPT order dated
19.11.2009: Assn pointed out that the orders of the
nodal agency DoPT to implement the order on pension contribution w.e.f
01.01.2006 is not implemented in case of BSNL absorbed employees.
Administrative Ministry DoT forcing BSNL to continue to pay pension
contribution on maximum of the pay scale and BSNL is forced to pay about Rs 300
Crores in excess as pension contribution per year. DoPT vide letter dated
24.04.2014 communicated to the Assn that the pension contribution is regulated
as per the order dated 19.11.2009. After detailed discussion, Sec/DoT told us
to give a note in this regard.
C. BSNL and MTNL Merger: Assn requested Sec/DoT to address the
contentious issues before a decision is taken on merger. The huge market
liability of Rs 11,000 Crores for MTNL will sink BSNL also if it is merged with
BSNL without taking over the liability by the Govt. Issues like Seniority, pay
disparity, pay scales and disinvest of MTNL etc to be addressed before a final
decision is taken. Sec/DoT assured that these issues will be taken care before
a decision is taken on merger.
D. Appointment of CMD and
Directors for BSNL: Assn requested to fill up
the vacant posts of CMD and Board of Directors in BSNL as a first step towards
revival of BSNL. Since CMD and many Board member posts are lying vacant, policy
decisions and initiatives are delaying in BSNL.
16 JAN 15: Meeting with Sr GM(SR):
GS and President met Sri Shameem Akhtar, Sr GM(SR) and held discussions on the
pending issues related to membership verification like provision for a
settlement on policy issues which strengthens the relations between Management
and recognised Assn and end multiplicity of Assns, no of office bearers of Assn
at Circle level and collection of fund other than subscription from the
members. Sr GM(SR) assured that he will try to discuss
these issues again in the Committee.
15 JAN 15:
Meeting with Shri. A.N. Rai CMD BSNL
at Mumbai: By sensing presence of Shri. A.N.
Rai CMD BSNL in Mumbai for special meeting with State Bank of India, delegation of
SNEA (I) MH had special meeting with him in the morning hours at 0730 hrs in
Inspection Quarters at Santacruz Mumbai and discussed many of the important
issues. Delegation of SNEA (I) Maharashtra lead by Com. S. B.
Bhosale CT SNEA (I) MH, CS, Com. Ajit

bouquet. Shri. M.K.Jain CGMT Maharashtra Circle was also present during the meeting.
On this occasion, delegation
specially presented “BSNL Executive Diary 2015” prepared by SNEA(I) MH to Shri. A.N.Rai, CMD BSNL who appreciated efforts of SNEA (I)
We have submitted memorandum of different pending issues for growth of
BSNL in Maharashtra Circle and long pending HR issues of executives. Memorandum <<<>>>
Ø
While look at issues raised in memorandum Shri. A.N.
Rai, CMD BSNL, started discussions with Revenue figures informed that
BSNL is going through bad time and especially on the platform of Revenue the
condition is highly alarming and informed us that the revenue conditions of
Maharashtra are not good as compared to last year figures. He added that while
granting 78.2 % fixation, BSNL has given commitment for increase in revenue by
Rs. 1200 crores and targets are achieved only up to 50% and it is really matter
of concern.
Ø
He further informed that henceforth BSNL CO will have to take some
harsh actions to awake its workforce for more and proper contribution to BSNL
in terms of performance and revenue & the salaries of Circle performing
poor will be delayed as compared to salaries of best performing Circle.
Ø
He further stressed that Maharashtra is big circle and BSNL has
always high expectations from Maharashtra Circle and appealed us to bring
awareness among the comrades about alarming situation.
Ø
Adding to discussions, Shri. M.K.Jain, CGMT MH Circle
informed that he had meeting of all IFAs in Maharashtra on last Monday wherein
he found that many of IFAs have careless approach towards the revenue figures
of their SSA. He added that it was disgusting for him to know that more than 50%
IFAs were not aware about the revenue Figures of their SSA and if this is
condition of IFAs what should we expect from others. He added that everyone
should have concern on activities done by him and generation of revenue thereof
and IFAs have very important role in generation of revenue and they should act
promptly and positively.
Ø
Shri. A.N. Rai added that it is question by
DoT, if the Circle like Kerala can perform better on revenue then what are the
issues with other Circle.
Ø
We made him clear that there are certain issues related to growth
of BSNL in Maharashtra Circle and even though there is high demand from
customers for BSNL services, we are not able to meet their demand mainly due to
non availability of minimum required stores both for Mobile & landline
services. CMD stressed that same is situation in Kerala Circle and till
performance is good and this cannot be reason to justify fall in revenue.
Ø
We have further explained him that Maharashtra is badly affected by
poor performance of vendors like ITI and poor performance of our own unit
Telecom factory. We have brought to his notice that even though BSNL Mobile
services in Maharashtra Circle is having topmost demand, BSNL is unable to meet
same as more than 700 BTS are failed for months and years together mainly due
to adamant stand by M/S ITI in repairing of cards and delayed process of
procurement & replacement of RNP cards. We informed that if these cards are
made available, there can be miracle in revenue from GSM services.
Ø
We also brought to his notice that since July 2014 there is no
supply of cards and as on Toady Purchase Order for 12,00,000 SIM cards is
pending with Telecom Factory and no single card is being supplied. When SIM
Cards are not available, when many of BTS are failed for non availability of
cards, from where revenue can be generated needs to be understood by going to
root cause.
Ø
Adding discussions Shri. M.K. Jain informed that
due to defaulter action by TF Mumbai, his office has taken initiatives and
fresh Purchase Orders have been placed for 12,00,00 SIM cards with private
vendor and supply is expected within fortnight.
Ø
We also brought to notice of CMD the issues mainly due to procedure
of denomination of SIM cards as 2G SIM & 3 G SIM and explained him how such
denominations have created bad impact in field units. Many of customers are
demanding 3G SIM cards and denied same even though 2G cards are available. If
these denominations are removed and if subscriber asks for any type of card,
same needs to be issued from stock of SIM cards available and the separation
while activation of SIM cards, the decision can be taken where it is to be
activated as 2G SIM Card or 3G SIM Card and this will solve major issues. CMD
assured to look into issues.
Ø
We also informed that for landline segments also many of the issues
needs to be taken care and presently Battery and power plant is taken care to
some extent but it is not sufficient.
Ø
We brought to notice that items like drop wire is not supplied by
TF Mumbai and more than 12000 Kms of drop wire supply is pending with TF Mumbai
and there is no proper improvement in supply. Same is condition in transmission
equipment and many of OFC faults are pending for want of required joint kits
and OF cable.
Ø
CMD informed that only jointing kit is not problem in delay in
restoration of OFC faults and many of time faults are delayed as the OFC team
is not reaching spot at minimum time. He also informed that many of OFC teams
are located at central places and mainly at cities and it takes time to reach
the spot. He directed CGMT MH circle for making arrangements for OFC teams so
that they reach at the spot at minimum time and accordingly HQ of OFC team
should be decided.
Ø
He also stressed that the progress of NOFN is very poor in
Maharashtra Circle and appealed us to rise for situation and make all our
comrades to be ready for completion of this project. This is special project
for BSNL and we have to prove our efficiency. We informed that there was lack
in awareness in NOFN project at earlier stage, but now days CGMT MH has fully
concentrated on NOFN project and certain results are expected but till there is
confusion among the comrades about the formation of BBNL and implementation of
NOFN project by BSNL.
Ø
We also brought to his notice about fear among the executives about
diversion of Broadband business of BSNL to BBNL and projected loss to BSNL.
Shri. Rai added that this is very poor thinking and nothing to worry as NOFN
will definitely generate revenue for BSNL. On utilization of OFC network of BSNL
including ideal rural OFC network much revenue is expected from this NOFN
project and one should understand its usefulness.
Ø
We have explained him that such fear factor exists due to the
recent experience from USO towers, BSNL has put its major energy on the
construction of towers, restrictions on BSNL to use these towers for initial
five years i.e. subsidy period and after USO subsidy is over all operators have
left these sites and BSNL is not having any equipment to use these. Now under compulsions BSNL is paying rent of
all such unutilized sites which is in lakhs in monthly and crores on yearly
basis and no single rupees is generated as revenue for BSNL and hence it feared
that in similar manner Broadband business of BSNL may be swallowed by BBNL after
preliminary works by BSNL.
Ø
CMD expressed that USO towers was good project and BSNL has earned
assets of crores of rupees and agreed that there is need to have relook on the
all these USO sites and steps for its better utilization. He firmly assured
that NOFN project will generate good revenue for BSNL and appealed that all
should focus on completion of NOFN works in time bound manner.
Ø
We brought to his notice the rumors about transfer of Shri. M.K.
Jain, CGMT MH Circle and that to at time when he performing good for
BSNL Maharashtra Circle. We informed that it is also being spread that SNEA (I)
MH is behind transfer of CGMT MH Circle and cleared that though we have certain
issues with Shri. M.K.Jain CGMT MH on transfer posting issues, we have never
raised any issue about his transfer from MH Circle, mainly due to reason that
he is much concentrating on overall development issues.
Ø
CMD agreed that Shri. M.K. Jain is performing good, but it is not sufficient and he has to perform better
and give his best in days to come. He specially stressed that progress of NOFN
project is very poor in Maharashtra Circle and same is performance on revenue
and much more is expected from Maharashtra Circle and from Shri. M.K.
Jain as CGMT MH Circle.
Ø
As Shri. A.N.Rai CMD BSNL was to leave for Delhi at 0900 hrs by
flight, he assured us to take positive action on the issues raised in
memorandum and meeting concluded at 0800 hrs with half an hour fruitful
discussions.

14 JAN 15: Meeting with GM (Estt) on E2, E3 pay
scales replacing the intermediary pay scales of E1A and E2A: GS and both AGSs met GM(Estt) on 12.01.2015 to discuss
E2, E3 pay scales and holding committee meeting. GM (Estt) told that in the
last committee meeting, demand for E2 to E7 pay scales which is not part of the
terms and conditions of the committee was raised by some members and the
cabinet decision on MTNL has come where cabinet decided to reduce the pay
scales of MTNL to that of BSNL, the question of whether E2, E3 can be
implemented in BSNL is referred to DoT. Association strongly protested against
this action to refer the matter back to DoT since last three years from Feb,
2012 onwards this issue is simply shuttling in the name of DoT, DPE etc. In the
Committee meeting on 17.11.2014, Chairman directed GM (Estt) to refer the
matter to DIR(HR)/CMD to decided on the terms of reference of the Committee but
now the matter has been sent to DoT against the decision taken in the committee
meeting. This is nothing but delay tactics.
We clearly told GM (Estt) that cabinet
decision on MTNL is a latest development in 2014 and we are discussing about
the pay revision and revised pay scales replacing intermediary scales of E1A
and E2A from 01.01.2007. Whatever be the rationalization of pay scales has to happen, it will be from the next pay revision from 2017 and
not from 01.01.2007. In the name of development in MTNL, there is no
justification in delaying the finalization of pay scales of BSNL w.e.f.
01.01.2007. If comparison with MTNL is required, then BSNL has to consider for
parity in pay from 01.10.2000 till rationalization is done.
GM (Estt) mentioned that E1 and E2 scale is
already approved by BSNL Board and it is implemented in BSNL. On that GS
replied that its implementation is provisional pending final decision on the
pay scales for which the Committee is constituted and DoT has to approve the
same. GM (Estt) further told that some section of Executives has apprehension
that on implementation of E2, E3 pay scale alone, anomaly will occur as JTOs of
2001/2002 batch will reach E3 scale in 9 to 11 years where as 2005/2007/2008
batches will reaches in 4 to 6 years. It is always a fact that in any pay
revision youngsters will be benefitted than the seniors but the seniors never
come on the way of the future of youngsters, which is the history of trade
union movement. In 1986 pay revision also, seniors pay even got reduced but
they whole heartedly welcomed the up gradation of the pay scales of the JTO
cadre and struggled for that. No
Assn or Executive of BSNL is against extending E2, E3 pay scales to the
JTO/JAOs of 2007, 2008 and later recruitments. Assn clearly told GM(Estt) that our
demand is E2 to E7 scale but due to Managements apprehension about the huge
financial implication on pension contribution, at least to give relief to the
JTOs of 2007 and 2008 batch and JTO/JAOs recruited after 2007, the terms of
reference of the joint committee was decided as to examine the implementation
of E2, E3 scale replacing intermediary Pay scales of E1A and E2A for JTO and
SDE cadres keeping the other scales pending for the time being till pension
contribution issue is settled.
The latest developments show that the
Management is in no mood to implement at least E2, E3 pay scales for the time
being. CMD and other senior officers again and again assured us to resolve the
issues through discussions in the Joint Committee but in fact the issue is
referred to DoT again without any valid reason. This shows that management want
to demote the cadres of JTO/JAO and SDE/AO to E1 and E2 scales. We have no other
option left other than to restart the agitation programmes which we are held in
abeyance on assurances from CMD, BSNL.

SNEA (I) MH writes

1 JAN 15: BLACK
MAGIC RESTORED WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT as ASSURED BY CGMT MH Circle: Circle Administration takes serious note of
strong protest by SNEA(I) MH on pick and choose reliving order for ITPC Pune
and has now kept this relieving order in abeyance till further orders Abeyance
Order <<<>>>
Immediately on
issuing such biased order, SNEA (I) has registered strong protest with all
concerned officers and mainly with Shri. M.K.Jain CGMT MH who has
issued sms instructions for issuing such order when entire officers in chain of
staff section including concerned dealing Assistant were on leave and on such
telephonic discussions CGMT MH has assured us to review of the matter on his
joining to office. Accordingly on
31/12/2014, Com. S. B. Bhosale, CT SNEA(I) MH, CS & Com.
P.N. Patil Auditor SNEA(I) MH had meeting with Shri. M.K.
Jain CGMT MH Circle on 31/12/2014. The details of discussions are as
follows.
·
Opening the discussions Shri. M.K. Jain informed that he
has already settled grievances raised by SNEA (I) as he has given approval to
put the order of Com. B.D. Gaikar SDE Nashik to ITPC Pune on hold and
abeyance orders will be issued today. He further added that there are many
issues pending in front of him as CGMT MH & he want to concentrate on such
development issues instead of such individual cases. He further asked us to
give time for such works and we should not waste his time on such routine
issues. We made him clear that it was he & his office which had created
this issue specially and nothing is done form SNEA(I) and if such pick and
choose orders were not issued in such an unofficial way, there was nothing on part of SNEA(I) to waste
his time. Shri. M.K. Jain informed that he has understood the
issue and concern of SNEA (I) on this issue and diverted issue to BSNL
Corporate Office that it is mistake of Corp Office which issues such pick and
choose basis order even though none of case was recommended and even forwarded
by his office. He further added that if order was not issued by Corp Office
there was no need to issue relieving order from Maharashtra Circle.
·
We brought to his notice that it is not order of single officer and
it is order of 10-14 SDEs and why only one SDE is being relived on pick and
choose basis. First he informed that he was not aware about many of officers
under transfer to ITPC Pune and it was sms request from Com.
B.D.Gaikar to issue his reliving orders instead of Jalgaon to ITPC Pune as GMT
Nashik has taken decision to relive him to Jalgaon. He further added that now
as per pending Circle Transfer Com. Gaikar will join to
Jalgaon and take TA/DA and again BSNL will have to pay TA/DA to Com. Gaikar while his
reliving to ITPC Pune and to avoid TA/DA he has instructed for issuing direct
relieving order of Com. B.D. Gaikar to ITPC Pune. We informed that how it
can be concern of TA/DA when hundreds of SDEs have applied for own cost
transfers to ITPC Pune and how it is matter of paying double TA/DA.
·
We informed that since last seven moths his office has
intentionally given time to Com. B.D. Gaikar for issuing
immunity from transfer and how he has managed transfer order to ITPC just to
avoid transfer to Jalgon. If his services of Com. Gaikar as DS AIBSNLEA
Nashik were required by AIBSNLEA Nashik comrades while transfer to Jalgaon, how
can he deprive his comrades by applying transfer to ITPC Pune. We also brought
to his notice that while calling for willingness for ITPC Pune, BSNL Corp
Office has clearly mentioned that long stayed officers should not apply and
such requests will not be considered and how does question of relieving of Com.
Gaikar arise at this stage on name of saving TA/DA?
·
We also informed that SNEA (I) MH has discussed this matter with Shri.
S.S.Agarwal GM Pers BSNL CO, while his visit to Mumbai and he also has agreed
that order of long stayed officers are wrong and has assured to review it.
Entire discussion was held in presence of GM HR/Admn Mumbai and he also supported
the issue. Then Shri. M.K. Jain informed that all these facts were not
brought to his notice and for same he blamed Staff Section and officers
thereof. He also added that many of officers are transferred to ITPC Pune are
from Pune TD, where more SDEs are required and only Com. Gaikar SDE Nashik
& Com. Trimbake SDE Solapur were outsiders and hence he has decided
to issue orders only for two SDEs and practically order was issued for only one
SDE i.e. Com. Gaikar. We brought to his notice that Com. Trambake
SDE
Solapur is already under transfer from Solapur to Pune TD and has made all
possible efforts by using all sources including that of GM Mobile Pune for his
posting only in Mobile Pune and main reason is to avoid transfer to Rural
Area of Pune TD, but same is not agreed by PGMT Pune as it does not fit in
transfer policy. Now he has applied to ITPC and his name also was part of list
of pick choose recommendations by CGM
ITPC Pune and we have brought to his notice how ITPC Pune
has become shelter of long stayed officer and officers who are making best
efforts to avoid their rural transfers within Pune SSA, Transfers out of SSA in
different SSAs of Maharashtra Circle and also to avoid transfers out of
Maharashtra Circle and stressed to take corrective action or keep this option
open equally for all so that all SDEs & JTOs can avoid their long stay
transfers at any level.
·
Shri. M.K.Jain specifically
mentioned that there is no need on part of executives to raise such individual
issues through Association Leaders every time and they can directly contact him
as done by Com. B.D. Gaikar SDE Nashik and some other comrades he
quoted. He also added that in case of relieving of Com.B.D.Gaikar, he has not
received any request from Com.V.P.Kulkarni CS AIBSNLEA and
he has acted on request of individual and there is no role of CS AIBSNLEA.
·
After detail & elaborate discussions on this issue, Shri. M.K. Jain , CGMT MH
informed that the orders for keeping relieving order of Com.
B.D.Gaikar in abeyance are being issued and no further relieving orders for
ITPC Pune will be issued and directed us to take up matter with BSNL CO for
issuing orders as per policy & guidelines thereof.
·
Regarding prolonged misuse of immunity on long stay transfer by Com. V.P.
Kulkarni CS AIBSNLEA MH continuously for last five years and its blind
support by Circle Administration he informed that we will discuss this matter
later. We reminded him that SNEA (I) MH has already brought to his notice the
facts and figures and his office has already issued orders for cancellation of
immunity and only confusion is on correction of working SSA & posted SSA from
Nashik to Dhule which is pending for his decision. Shri. M.K.
Jain informed that today Shri. Pravin Malhotra Sr GM HR/Admn is
on leave and assured to discuss this matter later in his presence.
·
Further, Shri. M.K.Jain, CGMT MH informed that his office
has received compliance from Shri. Arvind Vadnerkar, GM NWO CM
Mobile Pune on complaint of SNEA (I) MH about utilization of Laptops for works
other than Mobile works and matter will cleared shortly. He further informed
that Shri. Vadnerkar has said nothing on utilization total
75 laptops and he has replied only about 16 new laptops and asked us details of
remaining laptops as mentioned by SNEA (I) MH. He also informed that he is
unaware about diversion six of laptops to Circle office and its utilization. We
informed the break of 75 laptops will be provided to him & added that it
was decision of Sr GM NWP CM Mumbai to diverted the laptops to Circle office
and updated that Sr GM NWP CM has taken decision to handover all six new
laptops to GSM Mtce teams and there is no issue pending with Sr GM NWP CM
Mumbai and requested for proper distribution of all laptops to needy field
units teams of GSM Mtce and CGMT MH assured for same.
·
While concluding discussions, Shri. M.K.Jain CGMT MH
directed us to concentrate more on development works including NOFN project and
assured to look into all other HR issues. We also conveyed him thanks for
timely concern and correcting issues within no time and requested for equal
treatment to all executives regardless of their reach and personal relations
and requests.
·
We further requested CGMT MH to spare some time for inauguration of
“EXECUTIVE
Diary 2015” and he has assured for same and inauguration of “EXECUTIVE Diary 2015” printed by SNEA
(I) MH Circle will be done by hands of Shri. M.K. Jain, CGMT MH Circle
on 01/01/2015.
1 JAN 15: Misguiding
clarification by Circle office on Purchase of Diary 2015: AD Admn IV issued misleading
clarification and endorsed just routine procedure regarding supply of Diary
2015. Letter <<<>>>
As usual some of SSAs have created
confusion over the supply of Diary 2015 and main query was about upper and
lower limit of purchase of Diary 2015. SNEA (I) MH has taken up matter with Shri. P.R.Sule DGM HR/Admn Mumbai as all other
competent officers were on leave. During
discussions Shri. Sule has confirmed and assured that purchase
& supply of Diary 2015 is well within the powers of SSA Heads & there
is no role of Circle Office. He also agreed that there is no such upper and
lower limit and it is discrimination power of SSA Head depending upon the
requirement and quality of Diary to be supplied. But while issuing
clarification it has been issued that Diaries are to be purchased by calling
three quotations and lowest to be accepted and calling for three quotations and
accepting lowest one is the routine procedure known to each and every officer
including Dealing Assistants and here Shri. Sule & his office thinks that
our SSA Heads are so poor and having lack of knowledge about such basic
procedures and hence issued clarification diverting issue. Nowadays it has been
fashion to call such clarifications by some of SSAs to delay entire works by
creating such known hurdles and Shri. P.R. Sule & his office seems to be part of this fashion
show by issuing misleading and confusing clarification and saving skin for such
responsibilities being at Circle HQ. Shri. Sule has cleverly missed to quote about the
quality of Diary and also missed to issue exact clarification on issue raised by SSAs and has issued unwanted clarification which will
give chance to some of officers to get more and more confused for known reasons
and delaying supply of Diary 2015. We will again discuss with Shri. P.R.
Sule DGM
HR/Admn Mumbai to know what made him to change his stand and issue such
unwanted, useless and indifferent clarification diverting the issue.
31 DEC 14: BLACK MAGIC IS WORKING IN BSNL
MAHARASHTRA CIRCLE: Yes
Comrades , we have no option other than to believe that black magic is working
in BSNL Maharashtra Circle as yesterday we have witnessed that a single and
illegal relieving order was issued by Circle Office Mumbai when none of the
responsible officer was present in the Office. Order <<<>>>
·
SNEA (I) MH strongly condemns such pick and choose & totally biased order issued in unofficial
manner with injustice to many of executives.
·
This is order of Com. B.D.Gaikar, so called DS
AIBSNLEA Nashik who was demanding immunity from transfer for last seven months
as he is responsible Office Bearers by becoming DS by replacing earlier DS over
the period of night when orders for long stay were to be issued by Circle
office.
·
It is important that without conducting any formal meeting and just
to avoid long stay transfer of Com. B.D. Gaikar SDE become DS
and asked for immunity. This came to notice when some of comrades of AIBSNLEA
made complaint to Shri. M.K. Jain on his visit to Nashik and in written
also that there was no any meeting of AIBSNLEA Nashik was conducted and hence
this claim for immunity is illegal and is affecting members of AIBSNLEA who are in long stay for
out of Nashik transfer .
·
But on such written complaints also no action was taken and Shri. Suresh
Babu Prajapati GMT Nashik and Shri. M. K. Jain CGMT MH kept
“mum” for months together by calling clarification from Circle Office and when
it was understood that some action was being taken by Circle Office for granting
immunity and transferring next long stay officers including members of SNEA (I)
Nashik and Com. S.A.Bhadane DS SNEA (I) Nashik wrote letter on
misuse of immunity and same was taken care after continuous persuasion by SNEA
(I) MH with Shri. M. K. Jain, CGMT MH and on 19/11/2014 Circle Office
issued letter that immunity is not applicable in this case. In entire process
the role of Shri. M.K. Jain, CGMT MH was very important and due to
his intentional delay in taking decision on immunity issue Com.
B.D.Gaikar got illegal time of more than seven months for not reliving from
Nashik to Jalgaon.
·
When matter was rejected for immunity from MH Circle first step of
black magic was seen when transfer order of Com. B.D. Gaikar was issued by
BSNL CO on recommendation of CGM ITPC Pune by overruling the
conditions of long stay. You may remember that in willingness
called for ITPC Pune it was clearly mentioned that officers in long stay list
will not be considered for posting to ITPC Pune. The same was neglected by BSNL
CO and order was issued for transfer to ITPC in which SDEs are transferred from
MH Circle to ITPC including many of long stayed officers and same was brought
to notice of competent authority by SNEA (I) MH.
·
The matter was recently discussed with Shri. S.S.Agarwal Sr GM Pers BSNL
CO, during his visit to Mumbai, who also has agreed that if transfers
for ITPC are issued of SDEs in long stay list then it
is wrong and will be cancelled and matter was discussed in front of
Shri. Pravin Malhotra Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai, who also supported the facts. Then
Maharashtra Circle also has informed BSNL CO that none of SDE can be relived
for ITPC Pune due to shortage of SDEs and requested for posting SDEs from other
Circles.
·
But on close
of year 2014, we have to believe it was black magic that made our dashing and
very intelligent CGMT MH to work under pressure and to issue single order by
neglecting standing instructions on the subject and forgetting some ethical
guidelines to be followed by highest authority of biggest Circle in BSNL.
·
This order is issued when AGM Staff Mumbai, DGM
HR/Admn, Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai, CGMT MH i.e. all the responsible officers for
transfer posting of executives were on leave , order for relieving of single
SDE is issued with signature of another AGM who is not having officially charge
of AGM Staff Mumbai. When we see that no. of files are pending even for want of clerks
this order was issued without any formal process of office work and when CGMT
MH had written DO letter to BSNL CO just before week that none of officer from
Maharashtra Circle under transfer to ITPC Pune
can be relived due to shortage of SDEs. Apart from this more than 12
requests of SDEs and five requests of JTOs are straight rightly rejected by
CGMT MH on name of shortage of executives in Maharashtra Circle. This is possible
only due to ideas like “Black Magic” normally we do not believe as not
supported by science and in this case we have to believe as it is understood
that order is issued when everyone from section clerk to CGMT MH was on leave on the day.
·
We have traced the source of this “BLACK Magic” and
surprisingly it was sms by Shri. M. K. Jain CGMT MH to Shri. Pravin
Malhotra Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai and its downward transmission and it worked
like black magic and order was issued in lightening speed and within no time
with signature of AGM whoever is AGM available in the office as AGM Staff also
in on long leave.
·
It is most important that this entire process is being adopted by
CGMT MH while on leave from Rajasthan where he is on family tour on All India
LTC for last one week and unfortunately he has used such out of turn authority
for supporting SDE who is under transfer from Nashik to Jalgaon since May 2014
and was not relieved by Shri. Suresh Babu Prajapati GMT Nashik may
again due to black magic.
·
Just before four days delegation of SNEA (I) Nashik had meeting
with GMT Nashik on relieving of many of SDEs under transfer including this SDE,
he has assured that next day i.e. on 27/12/2014 his office will issue orders
for relieving for all SDEs under transfer. But he did not act as he was
controlled by black magic and gave time for this officer and his god fathers to
approach a “Bangalee Baba” for illegal favor and same is
highly successful as under tremendous pressure of said “Baba” and when none
of officer was present in the office, the transfer order on pick and choose
basis was issued without any formal approval in file and uploaded on MH
Intranet in lightening speed.
·
The biased approach of CGMT MH is visible from the facts that in so
many cases when everything is available in file and some 2-3 pages of note
sheet making issues& facts clear are not sufficient for him to understand
issue and take decision and he returns files with remark “Please discuss”
or “put up with some additional details”. This funda is applied by CGMT MH in
file being repeatedly processed for reliving of Com. V.P.
Kulkarni CS AIBSNLEA MH for last six months on basis of longest stayed DE
in Maharashtra Circle with about 29 years stay in Nashik SSA. But till today
CGMT MH has not taken any concrete decision when file has been rightly
processed about misuse of immunity continuously for more than five years by Com.
V.P.Kulkarni CS AIBSNLEA MH.
·
But in present case of reliving Com. B.D. Gaikar, without seeing
file and any note sheet and without ascertaining facts, Shri. M.K.
Jain CGMT MH selected name of Com.B.D.Gaikar, SDE under
transfer on long stay criteria, send by name sms to Sr GM HR/Admn and in
lightening speed his orders are issued. We all know that Shri. M.K. Jain CGMT
MH is highly intelligent, knows each and every subject, officers in Maharashtra
Circle and we were till not having any idea about his memory power about
remembering single name out of 10 officers that to be of level of SDEs which
are not directly related to CGMT. This is just
amazing and nothing less than miracle.
·
It is understood that on receipt of this order GMT Nashik also has
taken fast decision and order for relieving of Com.
B.D.Gaikar SDE to ITPC Pune has been processed in files by Nashik SSA. Now it is only
black magic which works, otherwise Shri. Suresh Babu Prajapati GMT Nashik, who
has not taken any decision for last seven months on relieving of Com.B.D.Gaikar
on
long stay transfer from Nashik to Jalgaon, is forced to take action in
lightening speed for relieving of Com.B.D.Gaikar SDE and DS
AIBSNLEA Nashik by forgetting his need for association activities as claimed for
immunity from Nashik to ITPC.
·
Now, it is well known that the persons who offers black magic charges
heavy money from the person trapped and we have doubt that in this official BLACK MAGIC also strong
dose of Money has been applied which has forced all officers to work in
lightening speed and when entire officers were on leave.
·
By taking note of such illegal and biased orders, when we have
contacted all concerned officers in chain and found that many of them were not
aware about this transfer order as they were on leave but this sms action was
confirmed by CGMT MH & Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai.
·
SNEA (I) Maharashtra
registered strong protest over such pick and choose policy adopted only for
leaders of AIBSNLEA neglected members of AIBSNLEA as well as AIBSNLEA and
informed him that SNEA (I) will not tolerate injustice and demands for equal
treatment for all executives in entire Maharashtra Circle.
·
We have made it clear to CGMT MH that he is doing undue and illegal
and adopting unethical method just to favor
Com. B.D. Gaikar, DS AIBSNLEA and Com.
V.P.Kulkarni CS AIBSNLEA who are applying different “Funda” for avoiding long
stay transfers for years together and as CGMT MH he is supporting.
·
Shri. M.K.Jain, CGMT MH informed us that there
noting wrong done by him but it was pressure from BSNL CO to relive some
officers to ITPC Pune, and hence he has sent sms directions to GM HR/Admn to
relive Com. Gaikar. When we have questioned why only Com. Gaikar is relieved on
pick and choose basis and what about others, he was pleading that all others
are from Pune and he has taken decision to relive only Com. Gaikar as he is
ready to go ITPC. This important that hundreds of SDEs and JTOs have submitted
willingness to ITPC Pune at Own
cost and our CGMT MH is ready to relive only Com. Gaikar who long stayed
officer and that to the cost
of BSNL as this order to IPC Pune is in the interest of service.
·
We questioned what made him to issue sms while he is on leave, he
informed that it is nothing like leave he is taking care of issues during leave
also. Then we have brought to his notice why he has not applied any such action
for others cases including one female SDE who is being harassed by his office
on name of complaint by Com.V.P.Kulkarni CS AIBSNLEA and
her
salary is stopped for last three months even though she was working in office and she had
personally met to him as CGMT MH and while he was in office and it was quiet
possible for him to take decision on such genuine matter created by himself by
writing internal note on such complaint, CGMT MH was not having any answer and
diverted issue by quoting some other names of such request for retention up to
31/03/2014.
·
We made it further clear that SNEA (I) MH has no objection for such
orders of long stayed officers if it is equally applied for all executives who
are under long stay transfers and requested CGMT MH to cancel all such orders
under long stay and at the same time relieve all officers under request
transfer without waiting for substitute as done for the officers for whom Com. B.D.
Gaikar and Com.V.P. Kulkarni are substitutes are relived without
waiting for substitute. But without assuring any such action he assured to
discuss the issue and review the matter as he is joining office today.
·
Shri. Pravin Malhitra, Sr GM HR/Admn
Mumbai informed that he has always supported for legal methods and in this case
he has just forwarded sms instructions of his boss and same has acted and
single order is issued.
·
Comrades, all these facts prevails that now no one will be
transferred on basis of long stay and SNEA (I) MH is searching out the
procedures and guidelines of this “Black Magic” and will inform
members under transfer on long stay accordingly and they also can adopt such
fundas and avoid transfers under long stay and please do not worry the charges
of black Magic which may be just in multiples of your monthly Salary.
·
At this stage we all should be happy to know that there is way to
avoid long stay transfers and this black magic works on CGMT MH not only while
he or his officers are on duty, but it works while entire officers are on leave
and hence very effective .
·
We have no doubt Comrades about corrective action by
Shri. M.K. Jain CGMT MH, as some such
orders were issued in recent past but when the issues
were brought to notice of Shri. M.K. Jain CGMT MH, he has taken review on
the basis of feedback given by SNEA(I) MH and in this case also it quite
possible that BSNL rules will be followed and order on pick and choose basis
and overruling long stay criteria will be cancelled.
·
No doubt here also positive & corrective
action is taken as it is understood that in this case also verbal instructions are
issued after office hours for not implementation of this order and hope fully
this verbal order will be converted in written order today and matter will be
reviewed as fresh and SNEA (I) MH is ready for any discussions on this
subject and we will stand with our demand for equal treatment for all
executives and will oppose biased approach only in certain cases.
·
SNEA (I) MH will meet Shri. M.K. Jain, CGMT MH today
and again register protest& put forth anguish among the executives in
Maharashtra Circle along with all facts , figures and documents on such biased
and illegal methods adopted by some leaders and its support by some of officers
in Circle Management.
·
Unfortunately these are the same leaders who have agreed for
uniform Transfer Policy for all executives proposed by same Circle Management
also and these leaders have been mute spectators when common members were
transferred and have become super active when their turn comes under same
policy of long stay and unfortunately very intelligent, the officer having
through knowledge of rules and regulations, who knows every issue to depth like
Shri.
M.K. Jain is made to work and act in such illegal way and while he was on
LTC leave and only hence comrades, we have to believe this “Black Magic”.
30 DEC 14: BSNL CO issued reminder for sending VCRs, APRs& Assessment Reports
for SDE Reg DPC under 67% Seniority cum Fitness Quota and now issued time
schedule for submitting Screening Committee Reports and APRs. Letter <<<>>>
It is good news
for Maharashtra Comrades that with prompt & timely action by officers in
Establishment Section and with keen persuasion by District Secretaries
& Circle Office Bearers of SNEA (I) Maharashtra, all the APRs & VCRs
were received in time by Circle Office from all SSAs and entire information of
Maharashtra Circle i.e. VCRs and Assessment Sheet for this DPC has been sent to
BSNL CO by speed post as well as by email on 26/12/2014 itself. Now Maharashtra
Circle is ready to handover the hard copies of APRs & Assessment Sheet at
any time. But unfortunately in this schedule Maharashtra Circle is given slot
on last day i.e. on 28/01/2014, after period of more than one month. Further,
on the same day, many of the major Circles have been given time slot which may
create heavy rush in single and being last day. SNEA (I) MH will take up matter
for allotment of early time slot/schedule for submission of hard copies of this
information by Maharashtra Circle.
29 DEC 14: Cheating
on name & fame of BSNL continues now on name of Recruitment of “Telecom
Assistants” in BSNL call centres: The fraudulent
persons continue to cheat public by using name and fame of BSNL. Earlier these
culprits have targeted Doctors on name of Medical treatments of BSNL employees
and benefits to their hospitals, then to landlords for leasing out land for
constructions of BSNL towers and now on name of recruitment of TTAs in
BSNL. Bogus
Appointment letter <<<>>>
·
These culprits
apply one after other ideas for cheating public by using name & fame of
BSNL and trapping innocents in their net.
·
In this new
concept, the needy persons are being trapped with such bogus calls on some
known information of BSNL and here also same method may be used by bogus issuing
call letters even on letter pad of BSNL with stamp & signature and post of
Dy GM Pers Delhi
·
In an
appointment letter dated 18/12/2014 issued to one Mr. Akash Meshram, directly on name of Dy General Manager Personal BSNL without
name but with Signature, Stamp & bogus Office Address at D-27, Connaught
Place, Inner Circle, New Delhi it is
informed that the person will be recruited on permanent post of Telecom
Assistant and it is informed that person appointed will be provided laptop,
Mobile Handset with sim card and dress code. To go ahead with job one has
to undergo 25 days training and thereafter joining letter will be issued and
for joining one has to deposit Rs. 5800 as Security deposit and it is assured
that this amount will be refunded after completion of said 25 days training.
·
It is
specifically stressed that security deposit is to be deposited in Bank Account
of BSNL on name of authorised Financer Officer of BSNL. This letter assures for
different existing and non existence allowances and insurances to recruited
person.
·
It is important
that name of BSNL is misused for cheating public openly and unfortunately no
action is taken for any misuse by BSNL authorities at any level. There
needs to be have special unit to keep watch on such misuse of BSNL name and
authority and stop harassment & cheating of public, unfortunately nothing
is seen for last 4-5 years and culprits use to trap & cheat innocent public
on name of BSNL, thereby spoiling image of BSNL.
·
If we look at
small advertisements in many of the newspapers it is seen that there are many
works and vacancies in BSNL, but unfortunately BSNL management does not know
about it.
·
In earlier
occasions also SNEA(I) has taken initiatives against such cheatings and our
comrades of SNEA(I) Kalyan have played vital role in stopping such cheating of
doctors by culprits and by action of alerts comrades one person was arrested
and since then the cheating of doctors has been reduced rather stopped at least
in Maharashtra Circle.
·
But thereafter
funda of leasing private land was raised and call centre same was also raised
& defeated by SNEA (I) by directly calling concerned phone numbers and
making them clear that such bogus letters have been taken note seriously and
they will have to face action for such misleading and cheating ideas and since
then we have not received much complaints on leasing out land for BSNL.
·
In present
case also we have called on the said numbers and at first instance it was
informed that one urgent meeting is going on and please call after half an
hour. When we called after half an hour, both the numbers are no reply and till
now the numbers are not being replied.
·
All these
facts confirm that this entire matter is cheating idea on name & fame of
BSNL.
·
We have brought
the facts to notice of concerned officers in BSNL and let us hope that
serious note of this crime is taken by someone in BSNL at competent position
and action is taken against misuse of BSNL name, fame, letter pad, logo and
fraudulent signatures which are crimes in eyes of law.
·
Only positive we
employees and executives of BSNL can take from this is that the value, prestige
& importance of BSNL till continues and note that if many of the culprits are able to earn lakhs
& Crores of rupees just by using name of BSNL, many of the vendors and
partners of BSNL are earning Crores from and on name of BSNL and we the
permanent stakeholders of BSNL should understand the values of services and job
we own and devote more on BSNL works as
we have got best opportunity to serve in this company, owned by Govt of India.
·
All comrades are
requested to take note of it and take timely care by bringing awareness among
the general public, friends& relatives so that no one comes in trap of such
culprits and be part to stop misuse of name of BSNL by best possible ways.

Ø
At the
outset we gave warm welcome to Shri.
S.S.Agarwal Sr GM
Pers BSNL CO to Mumbai and conveyed thanks to him for settlement of many of the
HR issues of executives and specially conveyed thanks for considering request
from SNEA(I) for removing stringent condition for posting of executives to
parent SSA after completion of three years Tenure at All India Soft Tenure
stations, clear guidelines for excluding the officers with Physical Disability
and having mentally retarded child from the list of long stay transfers, and
taking stand to exclude the officers from long stay transfers who are facing
problems of incurable disease for self and close parents. We also conveyed for
giving consideration to requests for change of station in DE Regular promotion,
retention of female executives, partial retention in Maharashtra Circle etc and
issuing timely transfer orders of executives completing All India tenures.
Ø
We had
detail discussions on many of the HR issues with HR in charge for entire BSNL
at Corporate Office.
Ø
SDE Regular
Promotions under 67% Seniority cum Fitness quota: We brought to his notice the unrest
among the executives on over delayed SDE Regular promotions under 67% Seniority
Cum Fitness quota, he informed that his office is ready for issuing orders
except some pending cases of APRs & VCs and on verdict & clearance from
Hon. Ernakulum Court, his office will take immediate steps to issue the
promotion orders from JTO to SDE.
Ø
Status of
Different Court cases and action by BSNL CO: He also discussed the persuasion of court
cases by BSNL Corporate Office and problems faced in dealing repeated court
cases on different HR issues. He added that BSNL CO has received directions
from DoT to file review in Hon. Supreme Court in seniority case for list No. 6
& 7 on merit of case and steps are being initiated in this direction.
During discussions, he added that in notional fixation case demand for fixation
from cumulative effect and arrears thereof was the main issues causing
financial bourdon n BSNL. We also discussed the issues due seniority case and
confusion among the comrades, wherein he made it clear that this verdict has
created impact on overall promotions in BSNL and necessary steps are being
taken by his office to streamline issues, but it will take much time to settle
entire issues.
Ø
Recruitment of
TTAs & JTOs in BSNL & Special Recruitment for Hard tenure stations: We further discussed about recruitment of
JTOs & TTAs in BSNL and he informed that there is need of JTOs & TTAs
and same is being taken care by Establishment section and he is not having much
update on this subject. We have brought to his notice about the huge &
repetitive expenditure being made by BSNL on frequent transfers and mainly on
transfers to Far Off Tenure places and need on part of BSNL to have special
recruitment for Tenure Areas. He agreed
with heavy expenditure being made on chain of transfers to tenure stations, but
expressed his inability to overcome this expenditure as manpower is required to
maintain services all over India. He also added that his office cannot restrict
and limit recruitments for specific area as JTO is Circle cadre and same is not
possible in TTA cadre as recruitment is always open for locals as well as
persons from other areas. He also mentioned that present guidelines of BSNL in
restricting transfers out of Tenure Circle are more than sufficient to meet
requirement at shortage places as well as Tenure places, but many of executives
are creating pressure for premature transfers on name of Temporary Transfers
and hence the repeated transfers are involved. He further agreed that
recruitment of TTAs locally will solve shortage of manpower to certain extent.
Ø
Standard Pay
Scales & 30% Superannuation benefits: When we raised the issues about Standard
Pay scales and 30 % superannuation befits, he informed that till there are much
hurdles on settlement of both the important HR issues including merger of BSNL
and MTNL where is pay difference exists and in merger of issue itself has much
more angles. He made it clear that certain decesions are dependent on
prevailing conditions and E1A & E2A scales were also part of such
strategies & best options of the time, but over the period it has created
issues which needs to be addressed and temporary majors of five increment has
given some relief but there is need of final solution on this subject. About
30% superannuation befits, he informed that he is not having much updates as
said issue is being taken care by other units, but agreed that both the issues
needs to be resolved for smooth resolutions of HR issues and BSNL is step by
step moving towards the resolution of issues and with discussions are going on with
Forum of Associations in BSNL.
Ø
First Time
Bound Promotion equally in Four Years for all Executives: We have brought to his notice about the
unrest among the executives specifically recruited in year 1993-94 and how they
are victim of conflicts and different stand taken by BSNL on implementation of
first Time Bound promotion in Four Years. Responding it, Shri. Agarwal informed
that there is no such proposal as on today and it is not possible to implement
it. We then brought to his notice how seniors are already benefitted with first
TBP in four years and juniors also benefitted after Pay revision and only lot
of 3 to 4 thousand executives specially then JTOs are deprived due to condition
of touching upper scale or Six years service and how it is matter of just one
increment for one or maximum two years. We narrated the unrest among the
executives as many of them are drawing less salary than juniors and stressed
upon to settle this issue as Hon. Court also has given directions to bring
uniformity in First TBP for all executives. GM Pers assured to look into
issues.
Ø
DE Regular
Promotions and disturbance to executives in Maharashtra Circle: We have brought to his notice injustice
made to Maharashtra Circle & executives working thereof in DE Regular promotions
and posting wherein 40 DEs are transferred out of Maharashtra Circle when 176
post of DEs are vacant in Maharashtra Circle itself and more than 35 post of
DEs are vacant in Non recruiting Circle in territory of Maharashtra Circle. He
confirmed that there was wrong calculation in DE Vacancy in Maharashtra Circle
at earlier stage and GS SNEA(I) CHQ has brought it to notice of his office and
by the time matter was finalized, many of DEs under transfer on promotion have
joined new assignment. He further added that this time many of the comrades
have joined under fear of TBP date as on 01/10/2014 and hence it was difficult
to make changes partially making difference between juniors and seniors and to
avoid conflict & complaints, his office has taken decision not to
incorporate change in posting of DEs Regular posted out of Maharashtra Circle
except few genuine cases.
ü
We
categorically informed him that there was much need of DEs in Maharashtra
Circle, the most developing Circle in
comparison with Odisha Circle as all transferred officers were working as DE
L/A for long time. Our request was strongly supported by Sr GM HR/Admn Mumbai
stating that there is acute shortage of DEs in Maharashtra Circle and many of
SSAs are without single DE Regular. On the contrary all DEs transferred to
Circles like Odisha are not having justified work as given works in sharing
load with earlier DEs. It has created conflict as many of DEs working in L/A
arrangements for years together have faced reversion in said circles creating
humiliating situation for officers working as DE L/A for years together. We
made it clear that Odisha Circle was not in need of this much DEs and same has
been confirmed by CS SNEA (I) Odessa and many of the senior officers in Odessa
Circle as on joining of news DEs, the work of earlier DEs have been divided
among them and it is under utilization of manpower that to be at such higher
level posts. He informed that his office is unaware of such under utilization
and assured to review & look into matter and to take care of such issues in
further promotions.
ü
We
brought to his notice about grievances & problems being faced by DEs posted
out of Maharashtra Circle at Far off places, he assured that all those who
have respected orders issued by BSNL CO and joined at transferred places, will
be brought back to their parent Circles after completion of two years period
and till time they will have to fully devote to the present assignments.
Ø
Pick& Choose
posting to ITPC Pune and unrest among Maharashtra Executives: We have brought to his notice about the unrest among the comrades in
Maharashtra Circle due to biased approach first by office of CGM ITPC Pune and
its blind support by BSNL CO wherein transfer orders are issued on pick and
choose basis. We brought to his notice that the letters calling for willingness
for ITPC have clearly mentioned that the officers under long stay transfers
will not be considered for posting to ITPC Pune and while orders are issued for
ITPC Pune, many of the officers under long stay transfers are part of this
transfer order. GM Pers informed that his office has issued orders purely on
recommendation of office of CGM ITPC Pune and nothing has been done on part
BSNL CO except confirmation of names for out of Circle transfers. He further
added that ITPC Pune had sent three different letters of such recommendations
and mainly on basis of recommendations in first list order were issued. We made
it clear that how it was pick and choose basis
and how it has given scope for malpractices in such recommendation list in
breaks & three parts by ITPC Pune and quoted many of examples. Shri. Pravin Malhotra Sr GM HR &
Admn Mumbai also added that many of the officers in long stay list are included
in this order. He further informed that Maharashtra Circle is facing acute
shortage of SDEs and it is not possible to relive SDEs from Maharashtra Circle
and as ITPC serves for entire west Zone executives should be deputed to ITPC
from entire West Zone. Sr GM Pers stressed upon need of executives at ITPC as
many of the works are being centralized at ITPC due to CDR
& ERP. We have made it clear that SNEA (I) has no objection on
posting to ITPC, but basic guidelines should have been followed and equal
opportunity should be officers who have applied well within time and were
waiting for administrative procedure and recommendations of Maharashtra Circle
are kept in dark as none of application is recommended by Maharashtra Circle
and are still pending as strategic decision to recommend the cases to other
circles. Sr GM Pers informed that his office has considered cases on the basis
of recommendation of Maharashtra Circle and special letters giving list of
officers recommended by ITPC were written by BSNL CO to CGMT MH Circle for
same. Sr GM HR/A Mumbai confirmed that none of letter has received by MH Circle
before issuing any orders and directly orders for ITPC Pune have came to his
office. Thus we were successful in establishing facts that there was pick and
choose method adopted in posting to ITPC and stressed on review of the posting.
After understanding facts and real issues, Shri. Agarwal assured to review the
orders a fresh and assured that names of long stayed officers will be excluded
from the transfer orders. He also requested to give brief note on this subject
giving the facts so that issues can be resolved.
Ø
All India Hard
Tenure for Gadchiroli SSA: We put forward the problems faced by our executives working in Gadchiroli
District and how the executives completing Circle Tenure at this most difficult
station of Maharashtra Circle are made to repeat again for All India tenure
thus making it of total tenure of four to five years. We informed that
Maharashtra Circle has originally sent proposal for hard tenure of Gadchiroli
District and it was on part of BSNL CO that it was declared as All India Soft
tenure instead of All India Hard tenure. Shri. Agarwal asked what is status by Government departments, Shri Malhotra Sr GM
Personal informed that it is not All India Tenure for Central Government, but
added that for BSNL conditions at Gadchiroli are difficult and our executives
are facing real problems and in some cases problems are more than the Hard
tenure stations. After details discussions, Shri. Agarwal assured that on
return to Delhi, he will look into Hard Tenure issue of Gadchiroli SSA and see
how can be executives at Gadchiroli are given some relief from present
conditions.
Ø
Association
Membership in BSNL & issues thereof: We had also detail discussions on process
of membership verification of Associations in BSNL issues thereof including
pending court case on the matter, probable date of referendum, efforts made by
associations and BSNL for have better referendum process in BSNL applicability
of single Association with membership open to all BSNL Officers, with
reservation of certain post of Office Bearers of recognized Association to deal
with issues of rosters of SC/CT executives, & leadership of associations
etc.
Ø
HR issues
within Maharashtra Circle: When Shri. Agarwal asked about HR issues of Maharashtra Circle, we have
informed him that in Maharashtra Circle we have no pending issues as his office
has posted best Officer like Shri.
Pravin Malhotra, as Sr
GM HR/Admn Mumbai who is taking care of all issues by amicable solutions and in
better interest of employees as well as BSNL and same are supported by Shri. M. K. Jain, CGMT MH and added that we have no pending issues
except time taken in settlement of issues but for us overall results are very
fruitful. We conveyed him & his office thanks for posting both the HR
officers of Maharashtra Circle with positive approach and having concern for
problems of executives. He added that he is aware about approach of Shri.
Malhotra and his excellence in dealing with HR issues. He also added that for
many of the cases Shri. Malhotra directly speaks to him for resolutions of
issues and his office also take due note of suggestions and requests from him.
Ø
Five Days week
for Circle Office Mumbai: We also discussed and asked status of the request from Maharashtra Circle
for Five days week, he informed that there are no chances and it is need of
hour that one should give more time to BSNL.
Ø
Individual
cases of Maharashtra Comrades related to All India Hard Tenure stations: We also have discussed about some of
individual cases pending at BSNL CO and requested him to look into issues as
these cases are related to posting to Hard Tenure stations.
Ø
We had
very fruitful and meaningful discussions and many of our issues were supported
by Shri. Pravin Malhotra Sr GM HR Admn Mumbai throughout the
discussions. Shri. S.S. Agarwal, Sr GM Personal has also shown full
interest in all the issues raised by SNEA (I) MH and gave update information on
present status and future course of action being taken by BSNL Corporate Office
