MEETING
WITH SECRETARY DOT ON 10-01-2007
(1)
Promotion
policy for BSNL Executives- no deviation acceptable from the
policy that was offered in the terms and conditions of service
for absorption of the Group B officers: -
(a)
No parallel post based promotion:-The
promotion policy has to be based entirely on the
concept of non-post based promotion up to JAG Selection Grade
as envisaged in the Policy that was offered in the ‘Terms
and condition of services’ while calling of option from
Group ’B’ officers for their absorption in BSNL.
Reply:
The Secy, DOT stated that let the promotion policy be first
implemented and thereafter this issue will be considered in
due course of time. He also informed that with implementation
of this promotion policy one executive will get at least five
time bound promotions which were not available to many of them
in DOT set up. The officers will have better promotional
avenues in terms of their regular promotions in STS/JAG and
even at SAG level after implementation of promotion policy in
BSNL. Director (HRD) informed that BSNL will issue
necessary order for implementation of BSNL Executives’
Promotion Policy approved by DoT within one or two days.
(b) No
recruitment of Management Trainees at STS Level:-
There should not be any recruitment of management trainees at
STSlevel. Since the promotion policy that was offered did not
provide for the same. However , the recruitment of management
trainees may be done at the level of JTOs/JAOs as being done
in MTNL.
Reply:
CMD, BSNL informed that earlier also in DOT set up, two entry
gates were in existence at JTO and JTS level. BSNL intends to
recruit the personnel at JTO and STS level considering the
operational requirement in the changed competitive
environment.
(c) Weightage
for past services rendered in DOT/ DTS/ DTO for promotion:-
Full weightage for past services rendered in DOT/ DTS/ DTO has
to be given to the absorbed executives for promotion in BSNL.
Otherwise, seniors with long years of service will be equated
with the late entrants giving rise to serious and genuine
heartburn.
Reply:
Director (HRD) stated that service weightage has been
compensated by way of giving point to point pay fixation in
IDA scales at the time of absorption which is not available in
any other PSU. We did not agree with him. Then Secy.,
DOT intervened and directed CMD, BSNL to have separate
discussion with the Association in this regard.
(d) First
upgradation to the next higher scale:-
The first upgradation to the next higher grade should be
allowed on completion of 4 years of service in all cases
instead of proposed 4 to 6 years of service.
Reply:
CMD,
BSNL stated that first upgradation to next higher grade is
allowed on completion of 4 to 6 years of service in view of
providing the weightage to seniors. He also mentioned
that during first upgradation, even after six year of service,
juniors will be benefited suitably. We insisted on our above
demand of giving promotion to all on completion of 4 years
service only.
(e) Grant
of designations and duties/ responsibilities associated with
the respective grade:-
On each upgradation to the next higher grade, the designation
and the duties/ responsibilities associated with the grade
should also be allowed.
Reply:
Secretary,
DoT directed CMD, BSNL to have separate discussion in the
matter and in due course of time improvements can be made.
(f)
Attendant
condition for promotion:-
Whatever may be the marks in the Confidential Reports decided
to be cut off marks for promotion, the droppings must be below
4 % since during several discussion on this issue the
concerned senior officers in the BSNL had stressed that even
with 50% marks applied with the grading the last DPC held for
promotion from JTOs to SDEs, the droppings have been found to
be far below 4 %.
Reply:
CMD, BSNL informed that attendant conditions for promotion
have been relaxed and confidential report, cut off marks are
decided in the manner where droppings will be far below 4%.
02.
Date
of effect of Implementation of revised IDA Pay Scales for the
Executives w.e.f. 1-10-2000:- Date
of effect of Implementation of revised IDA Pay Scales for
JTOs/SDEs of Civil/Electrical/Architecture/TFs and Assistants,
SOs of CSS and JAOs etc. of finance wing of BSNL, including
the proposed revised IDA pay scale of the Official Language
officers shall be 01.10.2000 with actual benefit.
Reply:
CMD,
BSNL informed that committee report on the issue has been
received and will be discussed and considered in BSNL Board
shortly.
03. One
time placement of the SDEs in the Sr. SDEs grade:-
As per DOT agreement and commitment of BSNL at the time of
absorption of Group ‘B’ officers in BSNL on 01.10.2000,
the SDEs who completed 5 years of regular service would be
provided one time placement in the Sr. SDE grade.
Approximately, 8,000 SDEs Telecom are to be given one time
placement in the grade of Sr. SDEs in BSNL (i.e. 400 against
1990 DPC, 800 from 1993 DPC and about 6800 from 1994 DPCs were
promoted). Since the above SDEs had already completed 6 to 10
years of services as on 01.10.2000 and they have crossed the
initial pay scale of Sr. SDE i.e. Rs.13000/ on that day.
Keeping this in view, the committee may recommend to provide
the benefit of one time placement in the Sr. SDEs grade.
Negligible financial implication will cause to BSNL at the
time of implementation of the above said policy. In this
regard we have already provided the data / information to the
members of the committee.
Reply:
CMD,
BSNL informed that the issue has been considered by Shri
Y.S.Bhave committee, but the decision has been left on BSNL
Board. The CMD, BSNL assured that the issue will be
considered in BSNL Board.
04. Payment
of pension to BSNL Employees:-
The employee of BSNL are frustrated and feeling insecure over
the DOT letter Dated 15-06-2006 and concerned about the
payment of their pension after their retirement. The DOT
letter dated 15-06-2006 creates apprehension about payment of
pension to retired employees in case of BSNL suffering loss
and thus unable to bear the additional amount as demanded by
the DOT. The parameters mentioned in the letter are variable
and cannot be linked to payment to pension under any
circumstances. In view of the above, the above said letter
dated 15-06-2006 should immediately be withdrawn.
Reply:
Secretary, DoT assured that DOT letter dated 15.6.2006, was
issued to CMD, BSNL in accordance with Cabinet decision. The
Association demanded that the issue of payment of
pension to BSNL employees should be made by Government without
linking the same to revenue receipts from BSNL. BSNL should
pay only pension contribution as per FR-116 and there is no
justification for demanding additional money from BSNL. We
further stated that at the time of finalisation of pay
scales for BSNL employees ,the unions/associations had agreed
for lower pay scales than MTNL only on the consideration of
payment of pension by the Govt. The Ch.TC assured that
after getting the feedback from BSNL and AIBSNLEA, the
proposal for payment of pension from Government fund and to
delinking it from BSNL receipts will be prepared and send to
the Cabinet for its reconsideration .
05. Absorption
of Group ‘A’ officers in BSNL: - The
absorption issue of Group 'A' officers in BSNL / MTNL is yet
to be resolved.. It seems that ITS officers’ Association
opposition will continue as the demands of ITSA remains
unsettled. We have been requesting to the DOT administration
to settle the issue at the earliest so that viability of BSNL
is not affected adversely. Presently the ITS officers are not
concentrating towards developmental and maintenance work. As a
result, a serious stalemate has been created which needs to be
sorted out immediately since it is affecting BSNL / MTNL and
its employees.
Reply:
Member
(Services) stated that matter is sub-Judice and decision is
awaited. The Secretary, DoT intervened and informed that
already matter has been discussed with representatives of ITSA
and discussions are at final stage and some solution will come
soon. We further impressed upon that deemed
deputation/deputation should not be allowed further in BSNL or
all the Group B officers already absorbed in BSNL may also be
reverted back to DoT.
06. Regularisation
of adhoc DEs/CAOs/EEs/ADGs(CS) :
After
absorption of Group B officers in BSNL, the recruitment
rules incorporating the methodology of promotions should have
been framed by BSNL. Since this is likely to take some
time for Group A, in accordance with OM dated 4.10.2005, the
Government RRs would motatis mutandis shall apply for
effecting promotions. Depending upon the vacancies
arising from time to time, BSNL should constitute DPC for
considering the cases of regularisation of absorbed officers.
We would therefore request you to direct BSNL management for
regularisation of all adhoc DEs/CAOs/EEs/ADG(CSS).w.e.f
1.10.2000 since all these officers are holding post on adhoc
basis prior to that date.
Reply:
CMD,
BSNL informed that in Civil, Electrical and other disciplines
where absorption process is compete, the regularization will
be taken up as per DoT RRs and simultaneously the RRs of
executives in Group A will be finalised soon. We
impressed upon filing up the vacant JAG/SAG/HAG posts of BSNL
through BSNL optees immediately. Secretary, DoT directed the
CMD, BSNL to take immediate action to fill up the vacant posts
of JAG/SAG/HAG on regular basis In BSNL where the
absorption process is over. In case of telecom disciplines,
BSNL Management will put up the case to DoT for
necessary instructions. He also assured for issuing
early instructions to fill up all vacant posts of
telecom. discipline.
07. Non-integration
of HR functions in BSNL:-
BSNL is still continuing with the HR activities as in DOT and
not bringing the entire HR activities under a common umbrella.
Though the KPMG- HR consultants engaged by BSNL had also
recommended for integration, BSNL is yet to accept and
implement the same.
Reply:
CMD,
BSNL informed that action has been initiated to bring entire
HR activities under a common umbrella. Secretary, DoT
directed to CMD, BSNL to take immediate action in the matter.
08.
Withdrawal of AAOs pay scale i.e. Rs 7450-225-11500/- Ministry
of Finance while agreeing to grant the pay scale of Rs
7450-225-11500 w.e.f. 1.1.1996 excluded the AAOs
absorbed in BSNL w.e.f 1.10.2000 from the purview of that
upgradation order. The AAOs working under DoT as on
1.1.1996 were part of organised accounts cadre and
therefore should not have been excluded from giving benefits
of upgraded pay scale.
Reply:
The
Member (Services) stated that the matter is subjudice. The
Association stated that after implementation of upgraded pay
scales for CSS personnel and the Jr. Accountants & Sr.
Accountants w.e.f. 1.1.96, there is no justification for
denial of similar benefits to JAO/AAO. The up-gradation of pay
scale of Sr. Accountants to Rs.5500-200-9000 will be quite
anomalous vis-à-vis Jr. Accounts Officer as the supervised
and supervisor will be drawing the same pay scale.
Secretary DoT after getting convinced with our
pleading in the matter assured that the case will be taken up
Ministry of Finance.
09.
Implementation
of upgraded pay scale for CSS staff in BSNL:- The
orders for upgradation of pay scales of CSS staff wef
01-01-1996 should be implemented immediately as endorsed
by DOT and regularization of section officers working on Adhoc
basis in BSNL against the regular posts intimated by DOT.
Reply:
CMD, BSNL stated that BSNL Board has already approved the
matter and action is being taken for implementation of DoT
order. We extended our thanks to Secretary, DoT
and CMD, BSNL.
10.
Review
of grant of 2nd ACP in Civil wing-notice regarding.
Withdrawal.-
DoT vide letter dated 3-1/2000-CWG dated 8.11.2006 has
arbitrarily decided to review all cases of officers granted
the benefit of 2nd financial upgradation under ACP
scheme and to take necessary action to withdraw the same from
such executives who were granted 2nd ACP but were
not eligible as per 1994 RRs. i.e. diploma holders AEs. The
diploma holder JEs were assured through recruitment notice
that they will be promoted as AE (Civil) and that further
promotional avenues to the higher posts are also available.
Reply:
The Member (Technology) stated that since the RRs of EE(Civil)
were finalised in the year of 1994, can not be modified after
12 years retrospectively, we argued with the supporting
documents and insisted upon to withdraw above said orders
dated 8.11.2006 and suggested to give one time relaxation
in the matter. Secretary, DoT directed DDG(Electrical), DoT
to have separate discussion with AIBSNLEA in the
presence of Sr. DDG(SR) and DDG (Establishment), DoT
immediately and review the case. Member (Services) asked
clarification from BSNL regarding future promotion Policy of
JTO(Civil)/SDE(Civil)(Diploma Holders to the Post of Executive
Engineer.CMD BSNL Informed the RRs of EE(Civil) are not yet
finislised.Secretary,DOT intervene in the matter and clarified
that BSNL may decide its own RRs for EE (Civil) not similar to
DOT RRs of EE (Civil).
11.
Withdrawal
of pay fixation benefits under FR 22(1)(a)(1) to JTOs and SDEs
on their vertical promotion after lateral advancement.
Reply;
Secretary, DoT stated that necessary clarification has already
been issued to all the CCAs for not implementing the order
with retrospective effect. We thanked Secretary, DoT for
his kind intervention.
12.
Recovery
of pay/pension due to continuance of adhoc promotion to DE/CAO
beyond one year without reversion by CCA, Gujarat- CCA,
Gujarat has issued order for review of pension cases of adhoc
Des/CAOs, as per their pay in substantive grade excluding
adhoc promotion where such promotion continues one year.
The adhoc promotion in the grade of DE/CAO is continuing
beyond one year due to administrative reasons. And should not
come in the way of pension fixation. The pension rules
clearly stipulates that the pension is to be calculated on the
basis of average emoluments drawn by the employees .over the
last ten months. Executives are feeling harassed.
Reply:
The Secretary, DoT informed that issue taken by AIBSNLEA is
under consideration and soon the necessary instruction will be
issued to CCA, Gujarat in the matter.
13.
Restoration
of the powers delegated to the CGMs to create posts on
temporary / adhoc / regular basis: - In
surprising move having far reaching effect. BSNL has
withdrawn the powers delegated to the CGMs to create posts on
temporary/adhoc/regular basis. In the Corporate culture
where the powers are decentralised, it is unbelievable that
BSNL will go for concentrating all powers at one place.
The decision has caused hindrance in the developmental and
operational activities. Therefore, BSNL Management may be
directed to restore the powers of CGMs.
14.
Non-grant
of stagnation increment on annual basis:- BSNL
decided to grant one stagnation increment in every two years
to those who has reached the maximum of the pay scale in which
they are placed. This brings undue hardship to the Executives
who have put in long years of service. It may be recalled that
the group ‘A’ officers are also of the view that there
should be one stagnation increment every year for them. There
shall not be different yardsticks for the different DETs of
the executives within the same organization.
Reply
on items 13 & 14: The
Secretary, DoT directed CMD, BSNL to discuss the matter
with AIBSNLEA and the CMD, BSNL assured to discuss the
matter separately with association.
15.
Viability
of BSNL:-
(a)
Disinvestments/privatization of BSNL: We
are opposing disinvestments in BSNL, since it will ultimately
lead to privatization.
(b)
No increase in FDI beyond 49% in Telecom: We
strongly oppose the decision allowing FDI beyond 49% in
Telecom. This will help the Foreign Companies to dictate terms
and finally have a firm control on Indian Telecom. Its control
either directly or indirectly in the hands of Foreign
Companies will be against National interest.
(c)
No reduction in Access Deficit Charges: We
are opposing the move to further reduce the ADC to BSNL.
Government had committed at the time of formation of BSNL, it
will compensate BSNL for providing the rural services at
reduced rates.
(d)
No unbundling of BSNL’s last line copper: BSNL
must not be forced to unbundle its last line copper to benefit
the Private Operators. BSNL cannot allow use of its last mile
copper and maintain the same to help its competitors to run
their business.
(e)
No sharing of BSNL’s infrastructure with Private Operators: We
understand that DoT is drafting another National Telecom
Policy in which BSNL is being asked to permit Private
Operators to share its own infrastructure. We are opposed to
this decision.
(f)
Non-grant of Navratna status to BSNL: At
the time of formation of BSNL, the then Minister of
Communication Shri Ram Vilas Paswan had announced that in
order to give more autonomy to BNSL, it would be granted
Navratana status if not the Maharatna. But even after five
years of this declaration, BNSL has been granted the Mini-Ratna
status. In order to allow BSNL to have greater autonomy in
decision making, BSNL must be granted the Navratna status
without further delay.
(g)
Not-expansion of BSNL’s GSM, Broad Band and ILD Services: BSNL
should expand its GSM and Broad Band Services looking into
tremendous public support and demand.
(h)
Stopping AMC and outsourcing:
BSNL Management’s decision to out source CDR billing and for
Annual Maintenance Contracts for the New Technology Switches
has became the source for drainage of hard earned revenue. All
these days, BSNL’s own employees were successfully carrying
out these jobs.
Reply:
In the above issues, Secretary, DoT assured that viability of
BSNL is also a matter of concern for DoT. We expressed our
anxiety against IMC (Inter Ministrial Committee)
recommendations for not granting of Navratna status to BSNL
and now the matter will be decided at Cabinet Secretary level.
The Secretary, DoT appreciated our feelings and informed that
a detailed fresh report has been prepared in DoT and is being
sent to Cabinet Secretary on the issue. He also assured
that he will personally discuss the matter with Cabinet
Secretary. On the issue of stopping AMC and outsourcing, the
CMD, BSNL assured to have separate meeting with AIBSNLEA.
