CHQ writes to Director (HR) regarding Extension of benefits to departmental officials selected against Direct Recruit JTO Quota who had applied through proper channel – option for fixation of pay in revised scale on date of promotion:

'The whole issue is pivoted on BSNL’s defective interpretation that “the appointment given under direct recruitment outside quota after tendering technical resignation by the employee cannot be treated as promotion.” This clarification is not based on any rules but merely based on an assumption that ‘appointment’ under DR quota is not ‘promotion’.'   Read More

CHQ writes to CMD regarding Implementation of Revised Pay scales recommended by 3rd PRC and approved by Government of India with 15% fitment benefit in respect of BSNL Executives:

'Our confidence is based on the fact that the affordability clause was very much there in the Government decisions on the recommendations of the 2nd PRC circulated vide DPE OM No.2(70)/08-DPE (WC) dated 26.11.2008, with the only difference that the 2nd PRC stipulated ‘not more than 20% dip in PBT for the year 2007-08’, and the 3rd PRC has stipulated ‘not more than 20% dip in PBT for the last three financial years preceding the year of implementation.’ The DPE OM dated 26.11.2008 for implementation of 2nd PRC recommendations had also provided for ‘a uniform lower fitment benefit of 10% or 20%, depending upon their affordability’. Even then Executives of MTNL were granted pay revision w.e.f. 1.1.2007 with the highest admissible fitment benefit of 30% despite MTNL incurring consecutive losses for several years before.'   Read More
