26 June 2023 : Update on pending OTP
Request Transfers:
Many officers are waiting for consideration of their OTP Request transfers
due to uncertainty is issuing OTP Request transfers as one has to decide on
admission of the school/college going children. SNEA has taken up matter with
PGM Pers BSNL CO for early consideration of OTP
Requests and he has assured for consideration of all request to Circles having
shortage of officers before end of this Month June 2023.
On consideration of request to Circles having excess officers, it
was informed by PGM Pers that already there are
excess executives and hence it is not possible to consider request transfers to
these circles. We have requested to develop methodology to consider request to
these excess Circles also and till time the request of concerned officers may
be kept under waiting list and should not be rejected. On rejection of request,
one has to again apply, complete its administrative procedure of recommendation
by BA/ Circles and in this process their seniority in waiting list is
destroyed.
As such we have requested not to reject requests and maintain the
waiting list to all such Circles having excess officers. We also requested that
others who are submitting OTP request to such waitlisted Circles, should be
shown waiting of pending requests to that particular Circle so that one can
decide on opting for that particular Circle.
We also have requested to keep option open for such waitlisted
Officers to withdraw OTP Request before issuing transfer order. PGM Pers BSNL CO has assured us to look into it and incorporate
all these issues along with other suggestions given by SNEA for implementation
of OTP Request transfers.
26 June 2023 : Consideration of
Representations received from AGMs/ SDEs under Long stay transfers:
SNEA CHQ is getting repeated calls and queries from individuals and
from CS/DS concerned asking for early consideration of these requests as
Circle/BA Heads are pressuring for relieving these officers and these officers
are waiting for justice from Pers Section BSNL CO.
Many of the AGMs/SDEs under long stay transfers have represented
for consideration of their request for cancellation of transfer orders by
correction of Stay particulars, counting stay at Soft Tenures, cancelation of
transfers on grounds of critical illness, Retention on educational grounds of
ward studying in 12th STD/ Family medical issues, request for
change/ modification of Transferred Circle, grant of immunity as Office Bearer
of Association, and counting stay correctly.
SNEA CHQ has consolidated all the requests received directly and
through DS/CS SNEA concerned and same is already submitted to concerned
officers. We have requested Director HR BSNL Board for sympathetic
consideration of all these genuine requests and he also was kind enough to
assure to give consideration to all requests. We have 3-4 rounds of discussions
with PGM Pers about timely consideration of these
requests.
As per our discussions with PGM Pers in
last to last week, it was assured to give consideration to all genuine request
in last week, but it could not happen due to administrative reasons.
The Officers, who do not have genuine issues or not facing hardship
in joining transferred place may join and others who have genuine issues and
facing hardship in joining transferred place may wait for justice from PGM Pers BSNL CO.
We are hopeful that all these requests will be given consideration
in this week and AGMs/SDEs waiting for justice will be given relief from the
ongoing hardship they are facing due to transfers at odd places and not giving
consideration to their OTP Requests.
26 June 2023 : Update on Promotions
in Civil, Electrical and Architecture wing:
After JTO to SDE promotions in Telecom wing, there is much unrest
among the executives of Civil, Electrical and Architecture wing as many of JTOs
are waiting for their first promotion since last 20 to 26 years.
In this regard, it is to inform that the proposal for promotions of
JTO to SDE, SDE to EE and EE to SE are sent by BW and EW sections to DPC Pers section before two months.
But same is not further processed as it was directed to proceed for
SCF and LICE promotions together and preparations for same were going on. It
was also reported that there is court case in SDE to EE Civil promotions and
action will be taken on clearance of court case at CAT Ahmedabad.
We have pursued for preparations for the holding DPC for promotions
in Electrical wing, where there is no court case pending, but it was reported
that Civil and Electrical wing are covered under same RRs and hence action will
be taken for both Civil and Electrical wing together.
Now on 16/06/2023, court has vacated stay and now the process for
promotions can be started as this reason was given by DPC Pers
Section.
In our last discussions with CMD BSNL on 07/06/2023, it was assured
that all the Promotions will be issued as per the calendar of DPC. <<<Copy>>>
As per these calendars the date for completion of DPC for Civil
wing Promotions in SE/DGM cadre is 30/06/2023, EE/AGM Promotions it is
30/08/2023, SDE Promotions it is 31/07/2023.
The date for completion of DPC for Electrical wing Promotions in
SE/DGM cadre is 15/07/2023, EE/AGM Promotions it is 31/07/2023, SDE Promotions
it is 15/08/2023.
In the Architecture wing there are no vacancies in DGM/SE cadre, no
SDE eligible for AGM promotions and JTO to SDE DPC is to be completed on
30/06/2023.
As the number of vacancies in Electrical/Civil and Arch wing are
less, we will take up matter for completion of early DPC as done in JTO to SDE
SCF Promotions in Telecom wing.
As such, the clearance of court case at CAT Ahmedabad is received
at appropriate time and DPCs for promotions of Executives in Civil, Electrical
and Arch wing can be issued giving justice to Executives in Civil/Electrical
and Arch wing to fill all vacant posts will be completed well advance.
Thus the promotions of Executives in Civil/ Electrical/ Arch wings
for JTO to SDE Cadre, SDE to EE Cadre and EE to SE Cadres will be issued
shortly by calling their VC and SCR of eligible officers by conveying DPC for
same.

16 May 2023 : Amendment in Executive Promotion Policy
(EPP) - 2007
DGM Pers
DPC-SM BSNL CO writes to all Circle Heads issuing Amendment in Executive
Promotion Policy (EPP) - 2007 for removal of provision of extra increment on post
based promotion in the same pay scale to all categories of BSNL Executives.
It is painful that at
BSNL Management is not giving any new benefits on name of financial crises and
we all are adjusting for growth of company, and our only expectations is
whatever minimum befits available should not be withdrawn.
EPP 2007 was brought into
effect as per the terms and conditions of absorption for granting Five Time
Bound Promotions and one increment on such Non-Functional Time Bound Upgradation is available to all eligible executives and on
regular promotions one increment was granted to Executives and this increment
is also withdrawn in one sided action by BSNL Management.
In silent and stringent
action, one by one all financial benefits available to executives are withdrawn
and other side executives are compelled for strict adherence to the IPMS,
Online attendance, achieving targets without supply of minimum required
manpower and mass rotational transfers so on.
When we are supporting
Management for revival of BSNL by all means, such one sided action without even
preliminary discussions with Support Association are demoralizing and creating
doubt on intention of management.
It seems that certain
officers in Management are finding ways to stop benefits of the executives
working in BSNL and making attempt to create unrest which directly reflecting
on image of DoT/Government of India.
One side Board approved
Time Bound Promotion Policy is not finalized after repeated requests from SNEA
and when clear directions are issued by DoT for its review and another side now
steps are being taken for withdrawing benefits existing EPP 2007.
It may be seen that in
EPP 2007 word officer is used and same is replaced by word executive in
amendment and its shows intent of the officer drafting such amendments.
We all are paying cost of
division created among executives under divide and rule principle and
associations are made to fight against each other and the officers in
Management are enjoying all benefits and powers to damage career
progression of Executives absorbed and recruited by BSNL. It is time for
introspection of all BSNL recruited Executives and leaders of all Associations
about future of executives in BSNL and if we do not act wisely and unitedly, in
coming days entire EPP 2007 will be withdrawn in similar one sided action.
SNEA CHQ will oppose this
one sided decision and will pursue for restoration of these benefits. We appeal
all executives in BSNL and activist of SNEA to share their feedback/
information on this matter and we will pursue this matter accordingly for
restoration of benefits of EPP 2007.
