writes to CMD on IDA scale for AAOs:'The
above pay scale (11875-17275) was given on provisional basis, pending
finalization of the issue by the Ministry of Finance which was
under a wrong impression that this cadre of BSNL is not an
organized accounts cadre. Now that the Ministry of Finance has
corrected its stand and accepted it also as an organized
accounts cadre, there is no reason why the above IDA Pay Scale
granted on provisional basis cannot be declared as the final
one'.

16.02.2008: The
Petitions of some ITS Group A Officers against the DoT
Orders for absorption of Group A Officers in BSNL which
are pending before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court for last
two years came up for hearing on 7th
February 2008. The Advocate for the Petitioners stated
in the Court that in the meeting with the Ministry some
decisions have been taken on the issues raised and the
Ministry is now seeking for approval of Cabinet for the
same. If the Government concedes to their demands, the
cases may be withdrawn. They requested for deferment of
the hearing. The case is now to be heard on 13th
March 2008. There is no denial that the ITS Association
have taken full advantage of more than two years time
that they got to build pressure to extract some more
concessions from the Government. Since the BSNL
Unions/Associations also did not put pressure on DoT for
early settlement of the Group A absorption issue once the
deadline for submitting option was over and cancel the
deputation of the non-optees to BSNL, it helped these
Officers most. Now the position is that the cases could be
withdrawn if the Cabinet agrees to the latest proposals of
DoT extending more concessions to the Group A Officers.
However if the Government does not agree and the cases
continue, the Court might have to pass the Orders.
