NEPP -- A Great Achiievement
or
“Sufferiings and hardshiips beyond descriiptiion” ?
The Ediittorriiall off NFTE’’s jjourrnall ““Telle Labourr”” Febrruarry 2012 ttrriied tto giive tthe piictturre tthatt tthe Non
Executtiive Prromottiion Polliicy achiieved by BSNLEU caused sufffferriings and harrdshiips beyond
descrriipttiion!!
IItt says tthe prromottiion underr NEPP iis lliinked wiitth tthe perrfforrmance off tthe pastt and hence iitt iis a
sufffferriing.. Butt when tthe prromottiion iis giiven ffrrom a rrettrrospecttiive datte, ffrrom 1-10-2004 iin tthe yearr
2010, iitt iis natturrall tthatt tthe CRs off tthe perriiod prriiorr tto 1-10-2004 have tto be consiiderred.. Therre iis no
prromottiion scheme wherre tthe prromottiion iis giiven wiitthoutt consiiderriing tthe CRs.. The rreason fforr
grranttiing tthe prromottiion rrettrrospecttiivelly was because off tthe anttii-worrkerr attttiittude adoptted by NFTE
when iitt was tthe rrecogniized Uniion durriing 2002-2004.. Att tthatt ttiime, iitt made an agrreementt wiitth tthe
managementt tto conttiinue OTBP//BCR scheme unttiill 31-12-2006.. Afftterr gettttiing rrecogniittiion iin
Decemberr 2004, wiitth grreatt diiffffiiculltty, tthe BSNLEU was ablle tto conviince tthe managementt tto cancell
tthiis agrreementt off NFTE and tto siign an agrreementt on 30-10-2008 agrreeiing tto grrantt tthe ffiirrstt
prromottiion underr NEPP on 1-10-2004.. Even afftterr tthe achiievementt off tthe agrreementt, due tto tthe
dellay by tthe managementt and DoT aiided and abetttted by NFTE att tthatt ttiime, tthe orrderr was
achiieved on 23-3-2010 afftterr a llong sttrrugglle.. Thiis was tthe rreason fforr tthe rrettrrospecttiive effffectt tto tthe
ffiirrstt prromottiion on 1-10-2004.. IItt iis nott a sufffferriing.. IItt iis a grreatt achiievementt.. IIff some offffiicerr diid nott
wrriitte tthe CR, tthe offffiicerr shoulld be puniished.. IItt cannott be tthe ffaulltt off tthe NEPP scheme.. IItt iis allso tto
be notted tthatt tthe BSNLEU achiieved an orrderr tto consiiderr tthe rreprresenttattiion off tthe offffiiciiall who was
deniied prromottiion underr NEPP due tto adverrse enttrriies iin tthe CRs.. Thiis iis allso a grreatt achiievementt,
siince CR off tthe pastt perriiod can be corrrrectted iin ffavourr off tthe offffiiciiall, iiff a wrrong enttrry iis made..((IItt iis
tto be notted tthatt even fforr tthe grrantt off one exttrra iincrrementt befforre rrettiirrementt fforr tthose who diid nott
gett Grrade-4 prromottiion underr tthe earrlliierr OTBP//BCR scheme, iitt was necessarry tto rreviiew tthe CR,
and iitt was tthe agrreementt made by NFTE!!
NFTE , afftterr doiing much damage tto tthe emplloyees by agrreeiing tto conttiinue OTBP//BCR unttiill 31-12-
2006 iis now llamenttiing tthatt tthe pay scalle off tthe offffiiciialls ((Srr TOAs ettc)) who gott OTBP afftterr 1-10-
2004 and fforrgone tthatt prromottiion iin orrderr tto gett NEPP-1 on 1-10-2004, was llowerred ffrrom NE-9 tto
NE-8.. Theiirr poiintt, perrhaps, iis tthatt tthe prromottiion scheme shoulld nott be rrettrrospecttiive and shoulld be
onlly prrospecttiive, ffrrom tthe datte off iissue off tthe orrderr underr NEPP, so tthatt tthe iissue off fforrgoiing tthe
OTBP gott iin 2007 orr 2008 iin orrderr tto gett a betttterr pay, miightt nott have arriisen.. Those who made tthe
agrreementt fforr conttiinuattiion off OTBP//BCR unttiill 31-12-2006 woulld tthiink lliike tthiis onlly.. Underr NEPP
orr EPP((Executtiives Prromottiion Polliicy)) tthe prromottiion iis tto tthe nextt hiigherr scalle onlly.. Thiis iis tthe
generrall prriinciiplle fforr tthe ttiime bound prromottiions iin PSUs.. Hence, tthe prromottiion on 1-10-2004 fforr
tthose iin NE-7 pay scalle on tthatt datte can be onlly tto NE-8 pay scalle, tthe nextt hiigherr scalle, underr
tthe scheme.. Butt sttiillll tthe BSNLEU has been diiscussiing wiitth tthe managementt tto ffiind outt a solluttiion
tto tthiis prrobllem..
Once a new prromottiion scheme comes iintto effffectt, tthe olld prromottiion scheme ceases auttomattiicalllly..
Hence allll tthe OTBP//BCR prromottiions giiven afftterr 1-10-2000((tthe datte ffrrom whiich tthe qualliiffyiing
serrviice fforr prromottiion underr NEPP iis countted)) shoulld have been auttomattiicalllly cancelllled, tthe
amountt paiid on accountt off tthe saiid earrlliierr prromottiion scheme shoulld have been auttomattiicalllly
rrecoverred and allll such emplloyees shoulld have been giiven prromottiion underr NEPP on 1-10-2004..
IItt has tto be rrememberred tthatt once tthe OTBP scheme came iintto effffectt iin 1983, tthe earrlliierr 20%
prromottiion scheme ceased tto exiistt iimmediiattelly.. Butt tthe BSNLEU was ablle tto overrcome such a
crriisiis and achiieved tthe beneffiitt tthatt tthe prromottiion gott underr tthe earrlliierr OTBP//BCR bettween 1-10-
2000
