GS Writes to the CMD , BSNL on creation of the Trust/Fund for Post Retirement Medical Benefit for the Direct Recruits Employees of BSNL.
Sir, it seems separate PRMB Trust/Fund is not in existence like BSNL Superannuation Trust, BSNL Gratuity Trust. This is a serious question in the minds of BSNL Recruits that how their family will get Medical benefits after VRS, Retirement, Deceased etc., in this pathetic financial condition of the Company as well as in this pandemic situation......

Details of the Agenda Meeting of AIBSNLEA with DIR (HR) the 22nd June 2022 Follow…
1. AO to CAO Promotions : AIBSNLEA requested DIR(HR) BSNL for the early promotion of AO to CAO . AIBSNLEA also requested to hold the CPC for all eligible AOs by extending relaxation for all eligible AOs as on 01-01-2022. There is an acute shortage in the Cadre of CAOs .Presently only 47 CAOs are working across the Country in BSNL against the Sanctioned Strength of 672 posts. We further requested the Dir (HR) that the JAOs appointed since 1996 viz JAO 1996 Batch , JAO 1999 Batch , JAO 2004 Batch etc., / Promoted as AOs in the Year 2008, 2009 and 2015 may be considered for CAO promotion with relaxation wherever required as on 01-01-2022 . We further brought to the kind attention of the Dir (HR) JAO 1996 Batch Executives are waiting for their CAO promotion for the past 26 years.
DIR(HR) appreciated our concern and expressed his hope that the “Status Quo” from CAT Chandigarh can be lifted without delay and consequently the much delayed AO to CAO promotion orders can be released
It is also saddened and deeply regretted to mention here that this long pending AO to CAO Promotion is solely taken by AIBSNLEA only. No other Association could so far include this issue of AO to CAO Promotion issue in their Agenda meeting with the Management. AIBSNLEA cannot forget the matters of any Executive Community of Telecom/Accounts/Civil/Electrical/CSS/CSSS-including PA,PS,PPS & Sr PPS/TF/Architecture .
2&3. E1+5 Increments and E2-E3 Standard Pay Scales: AIBSNLEA strongly pleaded for the settlement of 2nd PRC residues in BSNL , the Standard Pay Scales E2&E3 , 30% SAB , the pending grant of E1+ 5 (five) advance increments on the minimum revised E1 IDA Pay Scale of Rs.16400-40500 to the SRD JTOs & DR Specially abled 2010 batch, LDCE JAOs 2013 batch DR JAOs of 2015, 2018 batch, DR JTO of 2017 batch LDCE JAOs of 2016 batches and LDCE JTOs of 2016 & 2017 batches etc .
AIBSNLEA appreciated BSNL Management for taking up all the matters with DOT due to continuous and consistent efforts of AIBSNLEA and other Associations. However, as long as the genuine demands are not at all materialized for the benefits of BSNL Executives , it would be very much demotivating the Executives. We pleaded with the Dir(HR) that BSNL is EBIDTA positive for the last three consecutive Financial Years and hence these genuine demands can be taken up again for the final favorable settlement on behalf of the BSNL Executives .
DIR(HR) patiently listened to all our requests and commended that E1+5 increments and the Standard Pay Scales of BSNL Executives are the closed Chapters , as of now . This is heavily shocking and de-motivating especially to the young executives in BSNL.
AIBSNLEA strongly protested and informed the DIR (HR) that, for AIBSNLEA these issues are not closed doors though for DOT these may be closed Chapters. GS AIBSNLEA has written to CMD for considering E1+ 5 increments
4. Huge reduction/cut Accounts Officers’ Sanctioned strength in Chennai TD and Kolkatta TD after BSNL Restructuring:
AIBSNLEA requested for the enhancement of the Sanctioned strength of Executives in Accounts Cadre as proposed by the concerned CGMTs in CHTD and Kol TD . We pleaded for the enhancement of Sanctioned Posts of Accounts Executives in these Circles as the Circles are Performing Financially(earning Higher Revenue i.e more than 250 Cr.) at par with Major Circles
DGM F: 7(As Proposed) against 3(Sanctioned),
CAO: 23(As Proposed) 7(sanctioned) ,
AO/JAO : 80 /83 (As Proposed) and
AO/JAO: CHTD-46(Sanctioned) & Kol TD -44 (Sanctioned) .
DIR(HR) mentioned that the Management is analyzing and reviewing the situations once again and the Strength of the Executives in Chennai TD and Kolkata TD would be enhanced as requested by AIBSNLEA . AIBSNLEA extended since thanks to the DIR(HR)
5. Merger of NATFM with ALTTC and the bad fate of Accounts Officers shifted without extending Options.
AIBSNLEA submitted the bad fate of Executives of Accounts Vertical in NATFM, Hyderabad. Along with the merger of NATFM Hyderabad to ALTTC , Ghaziabad , the Executives have also been transferred from Hyderabad to ALTTC Ghaziabad without extending the chance to exercise Options for Circles/BAs to get their transfer , whereas options were called from Executives working in RTTC Rajpura /Jaipur /Lucknow for their posting in Territorial Circle when those Training Centers have been closed . This is an embarrassing situation for the Executives in NATFM. DIR (HR) assured to take remedial actions in favor of the transferred Executives to ALTTC. AIBSNLEA extended since thanks to DIR(HR)
6&7. PA-PS and PS to PPS pending Promotions & Promotion of Civil/Electrical/TF etc : AIBSNLEA requested to issue Pending Promotion orders in all other Verticals of PA-PS , PS to PPS, PPS to Sr PPS and in Civil/Electrical/TF etc . DIR (HR) informed that PA-PS promotion orders are being released and PS to PPS will be processed . GS AIBSNLEA submitted request letters for the promotions in PA to PS and PS to PPS . DIR(HR) mentioned that Promotions in Civil and Electrical wings are under process
8. Effective Mode of Training in Training Centers. AIBSNLEA appreciated BSNL Management in arranging training for Executives on Company cost for their Financial upgradation. However, the present ways of OnLine training of some Training Centers for Executives during office timing is neither effective for Executives nor beneficial to BSNL ultimately. In between Online training Executives are to complete multiple office duties including attending phone calls would naturally defeat the very purpose of On-Line training. Instead, the videos of training stuff may be arranged in Servers centrally and Executives may be permitted to undergo training On-Line from Home /Office after permitting Duty Off . For the identification and authentication of Executives, OTP may be sent on the Service numbers of Executives.
DIR (HR) appreciated the AIBSNLEA’s suggestions in this regard and mentioned to give a detailed letter.
9. Victimized transfer of DS Ludhiana Com. Rajender Singh, AD (OL) to Patiala by then GM Ludhiana: AIBSNLEA discussed the matter in detail with the DIR (HR) . After the discussion AIBSNLEA requested the DIR (HR) to call a detailed report on this topic from CGMT Punjab . DIR (HR) assured to look into the matter.
10.CGMT may be Posted in Odisha and PGMT to Bhuvneshwar BA : AIBSNLEA requested to post CGMT in Odisha and PGMT to Bhuvneshwar BA as in all the Meetings of AIBSNLEA , Odisha Circle is requesting to CHQ . DIR (HR) appreciated our concern and mentioned that the Sr.Officers would be posted after merger of BBNL with BSNL as BSNL faces shortage of Sr.Officers , as of now.
Many matters
affected with our members have also been discussed in
detail with DIR(HR) . The meeting lasted for an hour and
DIR(HR) appreciated AIBSNLEA in taking up matters with
the Management in a convincing manner.
