29.11.2008:Department
of Public Enterprises circulates Govt. decisions on recommendations of Justice
Rao committee on Pay revision for CPSE Executives.
It is disappointing to note that,
the Govt. has not only decided not to have A + category as recommended by
Justice Rao Committee for profit making PSUs like BSNL, but also has
diluted the pay scales proposed by Justice Rao for 'A' category PSUs. We
strongly protest against this.

23.11.2008:BSNL
Executives’ hope for better wages shattered: Government’s
decision not to accept one of the most important recommendations of Second Pay
Revision Committee to have five categories of CPSUs instead of four as at
present has dealt a serious blow to the expectation of the BSNL Executives to
get better wages. The recommendation of Second Pay Revision Committee to place
BSNL in category A+ with highest pay scales and other benefits had made the BSNL
Executives happy, that they would get not only higher pay scales but also higher
fitment benefits. But now placed in A category, with their present lower pay
scales compared to many other PSUs including MTNL, the Executives of BSNL are really
disappointed. Also, it will not be automatic that BSNL Executives get even the
revised pay scales as recommended
and
present disparity in pay scales with the Executives of other CPSUs removed.
Rejection, by the Government, of the recommendation for introducing A+
category of CPSUs and placing BSNL in it might have caused serious
disappointment in BSNL Executives, but at least one Association of BSNL
Executives will be happy now. Their strong plea before the pay revision
committee that, ‘There
is no need to revise the present classification of Schedule of CPSE (A, B, C,
D)’ was turned down and a new A+ category was recommended to be created
by Justice Rao
committee, with BSNL being included in it. However the Government has now
accepted the aforesaid Association's plea giving them a point to claim a great
success though it has affected the BSNL Executives very badly.

21.11.2008:No
A+ categorisation:
Confirming the information from our sources, PTI reports that, 'For purpose of
fixation of pay scales of executives, the Cabinet, based on recommendations of
the CoS, decided to classify the CPSUs into four categories — A, B, C and D,
instead of five categories — A+, A, B, C and D recommended by the Rao Committee
in May. In a bid to minimise anomaly, the
revised pay scale would provide benefit of one additional increment for every
two increments earned to mitigate the problem of junior and senior executives
getting the same pay. Under the new revised pay scale, the ceiling of gratuity
for the executives of CPSUs has been enhanced to Rs 10 lakh.'

that BSNL Executives will have the pay scales specified for Category A only.
There are unconfirmed reports of some more important changes.
