03.08.2009 : GS, AGS (HQ) met GM (Pers) and discussed –
(a) Deficiencies in BSNL MS RRs – We expressed our serious concern against the deficiencies in BSNL MS RRs and requested for the improvement/modification e.g. change in date of effect of BSNL MS RRs from 11.6.2009 to 01.10.2000, removal of discrimination in the RRs of Civil/Electrical/Arch and other services Executives based on educational qualification, provision to fill up DGMs posts of seniority-cum-fitness quota dynamically from the departmental candidates only. GM (Pers) mentioned that the deficiencies may be submitted in writing for consideration.
(b) Regularisation of adhoc Gr. A Executives – we strongly protested against the DPC process initiated to regularise adhoc STS level Executives. We pleaded that since the eligibility/attendant conditions for adhoc and regular DPC are same and the DPC level is also same, there should not be further DPC from adhoc STS to regular STS (in the same post). It should be a technical transition from adhoc to regular on VCR. Moreover the adhoc service rendered in STS will not be counted for the purpose of regular promotion to DGM. GM (Pers) informed that the DPC process from adhoc STS to regular STS promotion has been initiated. The ACRs/VCRs of 2700 adhoc DEs have been called from the Circles for regularisation. He also mentioned that he has assured CMD that the DPC will be completed before 31.08.2009 and the DPC to fill up vacant DGMs posts will be completed immediately. He also mentioned that all the GMs concerned Finance & Accounts/Civil/Electrical/Arch have also been advised to initiate the DPCs for regularisation. He explained that the DGMs vacancies will be filled up by the senior most regularly promoted STS level Executives by giving one time relaxation in the eligibility conditions of 4 years regular service in STS grade and for future vacancies BSNL Management will further decide to relax the eligibility condition.
(c) DPC from SDE (T) to DE – GM (Pers) informed that Hon’ble J&K High Court heard the case today but the stay order is not vacated on the pretext to examine the last promotion order from SDE (T) to DE, whether the roster has been implemented in true sense or not.
(d) Upgradation of Executive Engineer (Civil/Electrical) posts to SE(C/E) posts - We strongly opposed the proposal of Up gradation of Executive Engineer (Civil/Electrical) posts to SE(C/E) posts. GM(Pers.) mentioned that such proposal is not to his notice and he don't support such proposal because EE(C/E) cadres have not been declared dying cadres. He also mentioned that the promotional avenues of SDEs(C/E) can not be further stagnated.

He reminded the House regarding the forthcoming danger of falling every aspect of O & M job to the hands of outside agencies if the executives are not raising their performance, thus rendering them jobless.
CGMT Assam Shri N.N.Banerjee, Guest of honour, raised the issues of present functioning of BSNL Management like a typical Government Office where decision making is a prolong exercise thereby loosing the battle to the fast acting Private Telecom Operators.

(b) BSNL MS RRs for Executives (Electrical Wing) – DGM (EW-QC) informed that their views/suggestions in this regard have not been considered. He appreciated our demand of implementation of BSNL MS RRs from 01.10.2000 instead of 11.06.2009.
23.07.2009 : GS, AGS (Fin) met GM (Rectt) and discussed –

(d) Notification of JAO Part-II Examination for 10%, 40% departmental and 50% DR quota – We requested for early notification of JAO Part-II Examination for 10%, 40% departmental and 50% DR quota. GM (Rectt) mentioned that the notification to fill up about 400 JAOs posts against 10% quota for Jr. Accountants/Sr. Accountants will be issued shortly to hold the exam in the month of Nov. 2009. The notification for JAO Part-II examination against 40% departmental quota to fill up about 2900 JAOs posts will be issued only after the information received from 8 Circles viz.

Regarding 50% DR quota to fill up about 1000 JAOs posts, the recruitment notification will be issued shortly.
(e) Poor result of LDCE of SDE (E) – We requested to process the case for relaxation of the eligibility marks from 50% to 40% in view of the hard paper and non-filling up of vacant 45 SDE (E) posts of LDCE quota. Only 5 JTOs (E) could compete the exam. GM (Rectt) assured to look into the matter.
(f) Finalisation of examination calendar for various examinations – We requested to finalise the examination calendar for various departmental/outsider examinations to fill up vacancies in various disciplines. GM (Rectt) assured for an early action in this regard.
23.07.2009 : GS, AGS (HQ), AGS (F), AFS and Advisor-I met Director (HR/Fin) and discussed –
(a) BSNL MS RRs for Executives – We extended our sincere and heartfelt thanks to Dir (HR) for issuing BSNL MS RRs. We expressed our serious concern against the deficiencies of BSNL MS RRs finalised for Executives e.g. these rules shall be effective from 11th June 2009 instead of 1st October 2000 as is in the case of Executive Promotion Policy. The Executives promoted to adhoc Group 'A' post before or after 01.10.2000, their adhoc service will not be counted as regular service for the purpose of future promotions. The Group 'A' Executives absorbed in BSNL belonging to IDA Pay Scale of 13000-350-18700 & 14500-350-18700 will be upgraded to IDA Pay Scale of 14500-350-18700, 16000-400-20800 & 17500-400-22300 as per attendant conditions circulated under letter No. 400-61/2004-Pers-I dated 18.01.2007 under Time Bound Promotions corresponding to next grade within a period of 4 to 6 years. These absorbed Gr. A officers will get Time Bound Promotion w.e.f. 11.06.2009 instead of 01.10.2000.
The existing JTOs/SDEs (C/E/Arch) Engineering wings having diploma qualification will not be eligible to be promoted to the grade of Assistant General Manager EE/Arch. In addition to this, in the Architecture discipline, having valid registration as Architect with the council of the Architects is made compulsory, which is gross injustice to the absorbed Executives of Civil/Electrical/Arch Engineering wings in BSNL who have been given parity with JTO/SDE (T) regarding pay scales and other service matters.
The graduate qualification for other services Executives has also been made compulsory even for existing Executives which is against the terms and conditions of absorption.
In BSNL MS RRs it should be clearly mentioned that the 50% DGMs posts earmarked for seniority-cum-fitness quota should be filled up dynamically. These posts should not be filled up from outside MTs. The regularisation process of adhoc Gr. A level Executives should be completed immediately and the vacant DGMs posts should be filled up on regular/adhoc basis.
BSNL Management should also implement the decisions of Joint Committee in its true spirit so that Executives do not feel discontented.
Dir (HR) assured to look into the matter and mentioned that some omissions/clerical errors etc. will be rectified immediately without affecting the RR structure and assured that the Joint Committee recommendations will be implemented.
(b) Implementations of DPE OM dated 02.04.2009 – We requested for early implementation of DPE OM dated 02.04.2009 regarding 78.2% DA in fitment instead of 68.8% since BSNL profit before PBT is more than 1000 Crores and after PBT is about 600 Crores for the year 2008-09. Dir (HR) mentioned that the request may be considered if the Quarter-2 i.e. July-Sep 09 profit comes more than last year’s Q-2. We apprised him that our Association is advising the members to implement 100 days programme successfully and to earn maximum revenue by increasing the customer base, providing quality service. We also mentioned that BSNL Management should also set the example by reducing their heavy expenditure being incurred on tours e.g. staying in 5/7 Star hotels, traveling in Executive Air Class and excessive use of vehicles etc.
(c) Pay anomaly case of 2005 JTO batch – We requested to remove the pay anomaly of JTO 2005 batch by giving notional pay fixation from the date of joining of the first JTO i.e. Aug 2005. Dir (HR) assured to look into the matter.

Most of the ITS officers have decided to continue in DOT hence BSNL should have its contingency programme in case they are repatriated.

A RRs e.g. the date of effect for implementation has been decided 11.06.2009 instead of 01.10.2000 which will put Gr. A absorbed Executives in disadvantageous position while implementing Time Bound Promotion Policy.
