Meeting with General Manager (Pers):

GS along with Com. Sanjay Vishnoi met GM (Pers) on 30.5.2018 and discussed the following:

(I) Approval of cadre hierarchy by BSNL Board:

GM (Pers) told us that in the meeting of BSNL Board, held at Hyderabad, BSNL Board has given in-principle approval for amendment in present EPP and implementation of amendments from a prospective date i.e. 01.07.2018. As per new amendments all the executives who completed 12 years of service as SDE/AO or equivalent cadre will be designated as AGM/CAO etc. and those who completed 5 yeras of service as SDE/AO or equivalent cadre will be designated as Sr SDE/ Sr AO etc. All the JTO/ JAO and equivalent cadre executives who completed five year of service in the cadre will be designated as SDE/ AO etc. For further details he asked us to wait till the issue of circular on the subject matter.

(II) Filling up the vacant posts in different cadres:

We extended our thanks to GM (Pers) for issue the promotion orders from JTO to SDE under LDCE quota and requested him to take further necessary action for issue of promotion order for SCF quota also in different cadres because number of senior executives are waiting for their promotion for the last 20-25 years. GM (Pers) tlold that he also wanted to issue the promotion order from JTO to SDE under SCF quota but due to stay granted by Hon'ble High Court of Allahabad on promotion and delay in pronouncing the decision by Hon'ble High Court of Kerala, this may be delayed. In this regard efforts are being made for vacation of stay by convincing the petitioner to take back his application. GM(Pers) also said that hopefully decision of Hon'ble High Court of Kerala may be given in first week of June 2018. We requested GM(Pers) that before implementation of amended EPP all the vacant posts available in different cadres should be filled up. GM (Pers) assured us that before implementing the amended EPP all the available vacant posts in different cadres will be filled up as per present RRs. Later we learnt that necessary direction has been issued by the GM(Pers) to his staff for taking necessary action to fill up the vacant posts of SDE, DE and DGM. We will continue our efforts and hope that in next 1-2 months promotion orders in all cadres for the existing vacancies will be issued by the BSNL Management.

(iii) E-6 scale to adhoc DGM:

We once again raised this issue with GM (Pers) that we are still waiting for clarification on this issue. GM (Pers) immediately asked AGM (Pers-I) to put up the case for necessary clarification. He assured us that soon orders will be issued in this regard.

Organisation of BSNL Unions and Associations writes to Prime Minister requesting his intervention on removal of aberration in DPE guidelines on affordability for pay revision of BSNL employees:

'Affordability cannot be equated to profitability during any specific period. The performance of the CPSE vis-à-vis its stated objectives can only be a yardstick to decide on the pay revision. Employees cannot be asked to bear the cross for no fault of theirs. In this regard, it is pertinent to note that BSNL has good scores and rating in the annual Memoranda of Undertaking with DOT, which is a measure of financial and physical performance of BSNL in achieving the targets set by the administrative department, the DoT. It will also be appropriate to point out that BSNL has been achieving ‘Excellent’ rating every year in the Corporate Governance Grading Report compiled by DPE.'   Read More
