Mass dharna at Motihari SSA by all Associations & Unions:
.
The members of all associations and unions of Motihari SSA are up against negative and biased attitude of Sri Shakar Bari TDM Motihari towards development of the SSA. They are protesting with Mass Dharna at SSA HQ of Motihari for immediate transfer of the TDM. The whole matter was briefed by Sri Narottam Mishra DS-AIGETOA to Sri Wasi Ahmad, CS-AIGETOA at Patna.
Thereafter, a meeting of the Circle Secretaries of all associations and unions was held at 4:30 pm yesterday at Circle Office Patna. The situation was analyzed and it was agreed that the attitude and working style of the present TDM Motihari is unprofessional and negative towards growth of the SSA. He has failed to implement any system in place for the day to day operational works of the SSA. This is creating severe hardship to the executives in maintaining the Telecom Services in the SSA, causing adverse remarks from various Public Representatives as widely circulated. He has already created many troubles during his stint as TDM Bettiah SSA also.
Hence, it was decided that a delegation of Circle Secretaries of all Associations and Unions will meet to the CGMT Bihar on 15th Oct’2016 and demand immediate transfer of Mr. Shahkar Bari from TDM Motihari and it will also be requested that he should not be posted further anywhere as SSA Head considering his past record.

VP, OS (HQ) of AIGETOA along with GS and AGS AIBSNLEA met with the concerned officers of DoT in connection with the revision of IDA Pay scales of BSNL executives.

GS Meeting with Director(HR), BSNL Board:
.
GS Shri Ravi Shil Verma along with VP shri Badri Kumar Mehta met Director HR and thanked her for the efforts with regard to SAB. We told her that though the beginning has been done...its the first step only. As per the proposal, the increase in quantum is due as actuarial analysis is over and quantum of PRMB has been quantified as 3 percent and henceforth balance 9 percent should be extended to the Direct Recruits of BSNL. We told her that while BSNL does not have any problem in giving freebies like PLI which costs much more than our benefits while the course of action should be that retirement benefits should be covered in totality before extending such freebies and perks. Dir (HR) assured to look into the same..She told let this process be initiated and then she will definitely consider that also.
.
We also informed her about the status of the Pay Scale Proposal. We once again reemphasised her that our Aim should be to replace the scales E1-A and E-2 A with E2 and E3 and accordingly it should be done on priority. We told her that though Internal Finance cell of DoT has cleared the whole proposal and major hurdle in this respect has been cleared, if still at any point of time any hitch is felt on that, the initial scales should be prioritised. We categorically told that for AIGETOA, only priority is replacement of non standard pay scales with promotions as per EPP. Upgradation of subsequent scale is a non issue for us and hence proposal should not be derailed because of that.We also informed that the merger of Sr SDE and SDE scales i.e. merger of E2-A and E-3 is acceptable to DoT also and others are also now coming on terms with it.
.
Director HR told us to keep pursuing with DoT and in the meanwhile BSNL shall also be following this on priority. She has sent a DO also wherein the unrest prevailing in BSNL because of this has been communicated to DoT. She told that further necessary actions as per requirement shall be taken.

Update on the end of 3rd stage Program of DLHF by UFBEA:
.
Status on Standard Pay Scale of E2-E3:
A DO Letter has been issued from BSNL to DoT for expediting the proposal of Pay Scales. Earlier, the GS has a detailed discussion on the pay issue with Addl Sec, DoT, New Delhi.
Superannuation Benefits for BSNL Recruits:
Presidential Order for Superannuation Benefit for the BSNL Recruiters has been issued today by DoT. It’s a remarkable achievement as AIGETOA has single handily highlighted this issue since its inception by 2nd PRC from 01-01-2007.
Status on CPSU Cadre Hierarchy:
On CPSU, GM (Pers) shall be issuing a revised proposal on 3rd October and a meeting with United Forum will be held on 5th October 2016.
.
The achievement of this series of movement is the reality of SAB for BSNL recruits (Which we left half way mark in May'16), although it is of meager amount but it will be further enhanced and DoE will also be revised to 01-01-2007. Also, the half way journey on pay scale could be achieved by clearing the proposal from internal Finance wing of DoT, which has earlier rejected the proposal.
.
Definitely, the result is not on our expected line but we can have satisfaction that we moved ahead further on all these issue and a ray of hope is in sight towards their complete resolution. A follow up with DoT will continue for approval of the scale file. Then it will be taken up with DPE for its concurrence, so that DoT can issue presidential order. Definitely, seeing the past experience, it's not going to be an easy task but we are vigilant. The hunger fast has ended as per program of the notice. But, we will have to be in ready mode as if the things didn't materialized in coming days on expected line, then we all have to further intensify the agitation.
.
So, on this note, AIGETOA express sincere thanks to all our fellow BSNL recruited colleagues and other executives who supported the call and participated at different levels. We do assure all of you that we will not allow to waste your sacrifice in this fight. We will come out as winner after clearing all the obstacles in the path very soon as we all did for SAB. It is requested that all remaining, who couldn't contribute in this agitation should introspect and suggest the measures if any to strengthen their SSA/Unit for a better future display of Solidarity for any fight for our rights.

Update on proposal of BSNL on standard Pay Scale at DoT:
.
The proposal of scale upgradation by BSNL has been cleared by internal Finance of DoT with directions to seek the concurrence of DPE before extending presidential approval.
.
A major hurdle has been cleared as DPE will not object in giving its concurrence because the proposal is in line with DPE guidelines on standard pay scales. However, work is still half done..so please maximise the participation.
.
The proposal shall be sent to DPE after approval from Secretary DoT.
.
Dear members, the proposal may have cleared a major milestone but still a lot is to be done. The movement of proposal till date is result of the efforts taken in this direction with your faith and support. However, Herculean efforts are required to keep things in positive direction which is possible only with your full support and active participation.
.
We are very near to the goal but now the final punch is required and for that hundred percent faith and support is required from you all. So instead of being complacent, we request you to participate whole heartedly in the organisational action program and ensure its complete success.

Dot rejected the proposal of Stand Pay Sclae of E2-E3:
.
DoT has rejected BSNL proposal of revision of pay scales from E1A, E2A, ---E6 to E2, E3 ---, E7 citing huge financial implications on BSNL and DoT (pension liability). Now there is no option left for us but to resort protest against srbitrary decison. When the recommendation of 2nd PRC has not been implemented in BSNL then one can't think of 3rd PRC. Either it is a matter of standard pay scale of E2-E3 for JTO-SDE equivalent or superannuation benefits for BSNL recruited employees, BSNL has completely failed to ensure implementation of basic rights of an employee provided through 2nd PRC.
We are going to serve notice and start protest demanding immediate settlement of standard pay scale of E2-E3 for JTO-SDE equivalent by replacing the intermediary pay scales of E1A and E2A w.e.f 01.01.2007. We are in discussion with AIBSNLEA & SNEA and confident that we all three will start a decisiove & joint battle on the issue of Pay Scale & Superannuation Benefits immediately.

An agenda meeting was held with Director (HR) in presence of all the Heads of the HR vertical i.e. Sr. GM (Pers), GM (Estt), GM (Rectt) and GM (SR) on 12th August'2016 at Corporate Office, New Delhi. Association side was represented by GS, VP (HQ), JS (North) and OS (HQ). The detail status of each issues were discussed and course of action analysed in the meeting. These issues are;
.
1. Clearance of the Standard Pay Scale Proposal from DoT and discussion on Pay-Loss issue of the JTOs recruited after 01.01.2007
2. Clearance of Proposal of Superannuation Benefit by DoT and review of the quantum of the Superannuation Fund vis-�-vis the increase in Financial Performance of BSNL and the scenario post actuarial analysis which was to be done by the committee.
3. Implementation of the CPSU Cadre Hierarchy Proposal as recommended by the Khan Committee.
4. Scrapping of DGM RRs.
5. Settlement of Rule-8 transfer requests and instruction to be issued to all the CGMs for speedy settlement of all such cases.
6. Recruitment of New JTOs as proposed earlier and special recruitment drive for the hard tenure/shortfall circles.
7. Disposal of Appeal of Shri R.P. Shahu, Ex-GS, AIGETOA and pending disciplinary case at MP:
8. Training to the J.E. (TTA) to JTO LICE passed candidates at the earliest and request for issuing instructions to CGMs in this regard.
9. JTO to SDE promotions (LDCE as well as DPC) – Various options and way out to ensure the promotions at the earliest.
10. Notification of Next LDCE.
11. Separate recognition and formal representation for the association representing exclusively the third category of executives i.e. direct recruits executives recruited after inception of BSNL.
12. Extension of Term insurance as proposed by AIGETOA.
The details on each issue is updated at our chq website. But one thing very clear that nothing is going to come with ease. Management is very comfortably placed by telling that proposal has been sent to DoT. They are not going to do anything beyond that and till date nothing has been done except doing the paper formalities. We have to make them realise that if really they are sincere on the issue and want to run BSNL, they will have to make extra efforts, they will have to make the presence of the board and directors felt by DoT Just giving assurances will not help. We want action on ground. We all have to increase our level of vigilance and participation. Its time to unite and fight for the cause. GS AIGETOA has spoken with GS SNEA and GS AIBSNLEA also and are planning to launch a unified agitation for the Pay Scale and Superannuation Benefit issue. We are happy that all three of us are realising the value of unity and are willing to come together and fight for the benefit of the executives.
Lets us all be prepared for the next struggle and this time we have to raise our voice to a level that it reaches to the corridors of DoT also who are not willing to recognise even the basic and genuine demands...

Deferment of Organization action by United Forum:
.
Congratulations to all the members and supporters of United Forum of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA !!!!! We hereby congratulate all the rank and file of United Forum for their dedicated support and participation in the organizational action program. This is only the first step achieved and we have miles to go. We have been able to convince the management about the legitimacy of our demands and the firm timelines for resolutions have been committed. Despite the several negative forces running every nuke and corner to derail the resolution of issues and doing all sort of propaganda to just achieve their only one objective i.e. of membership verification. No doubt, Membership verification is the solution to this leg pulling approach by the overzealous corners but the same should not have been at the cost of derailing and sabotaging the issues by their unnecessary threats. We welcome them in Ballot Field also. Time will show them their real destiny.
Now we request all the members to work sincerely and very hard to take BSNL to the new Heights. To our understanding, Management has already taken the first step towards fulfilling the commitment by approving the Management Committee proposal of replacing the scales from E2 to E7 and we sincerely hope and believe that management will honor all its commitments to keep the employee � employer relationship and industrial harmony at its best. We promise that we shall be keeping a strict vigilance over the issues to prevent any mischief from the overzealous corners.
Thanks and Gratitude once again to all the members for showing their exceptional support and hard-work to make this organizational action program successful�
In view of the positive approach of management and actual action taken on ground towards resolution of the issues� we hereby defer our organizational action program with a promise to return back if the things doesn�t go as committed.

BSNL Board approved 3% Superannuation Benefits for BSNL recruits:
.
As the issue has been lingering on since very long, it was very necessary to put the system in place. As discussed with management, the rate will be reviewed after doing actuarial valuation (not actual valuation as claimed by some) within short period. We sincerely believe that rate will be enhanced as committed by management to United Forum of AIBSNLEA & AIGETOA.
Some forces were actively involved to derail this ongoing process by threatening and doing nothing. Still the better sense has prevailed and bsnl board has taken decision to implement the Superannuation Benefit. But our job is yet not over. Some questions which we have put to management has yet not been answered like in which fund 13.8 percent as claimed by finance wing is going in. We have requested management to inform us regarding that fund and its name. We have requested them that please contribute 10 percent of that so called 13.8 percent in superannuation fund as right to live with dignity after retirement is more important. We have to take the fight further as the date of implementation is also to be revised.
To win your rightful due, you have to put your facts and figures with logic as mere lip sinking, making tall claims and boasting on the website do not resolve issue. For resolution, you have to give your heart, soul and mind which we are doing and in coming days, time and results will prove it. we have to remain united to fight and defeat the purpose of the negative elements and credit mongers till our demands are met.

All India Provisional SDE Seniority list released by BSNL HQ:
.
It is understood that the BSNL HQ has finalised All India Provisional SDE Seniority List. The list has been prepared on the basis of date of joining and comprising of the SDE joined through "Seniority cum fitness Promotion Quota" & "Competitive LDCE Quota" for the SDE Vacancy Year 2001-02, 2002-03, 2003-04, 2004-05, 2005-06.
Click here for SDE Seniority list No-8
One of our sister association who claim to be the messiah of DRs is putting stumbling block in the path of our pay & promotion very smartly. One side they connivance with management and degrade JTO Cadre by agreeing to pass JTO RR withE1 scale & lowered qualification to regularise about 1800 officiating JTOs (DoT period) on the cost of about 12000 DR JTOs (2001, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2013, 2014) but other side they claimto be champion of the cadre. Now, same people conniving with management to deviate Khan Committee report and issuing "new minutes" to bring negative dimensions; instead of forcing management to implement recommendations of Khan Committee Report in the originality. This shows their sinister design to create situation where people are bound to oppose it and the move can become non-starter.
The Khan Committee Report specifically told to convert E1A/E2A scale with standard E2/E3 Scale for JTO/SDE and leave other aspect on BSNL Board wisdom. This was the best scene to resolve decade old issue of non-standard pay scale of JTO/SDE. But some people from management side is again trying to derail the process by bringing new dimension which has already been rejected by the Khan Committee Report at the time of it's recommendation. One of our fellow association is giving hand in glove in this sinister design. But we are committed to implement the Khan Committee Report (E2/E3 fro JTO/SDE equivalent) without adding new dimension which may create future anomaly as created at the time of formation of BSNL by introducing non-standard scale of E1A/E2A for JTO/SDE by same group.
Now, the SDE seniority list with date of joining is going to be another nail in career. While our sister association fighting against some DRs in the Hon'ble HC Kerala for "All India Eligibility List of JTO" but justifying & lobbying to implent same formula in "All India SDE Seniority List" on the basis of date of joining. Is it not a fit case of Moral Bankruptcy? Now, all executives should analysed the deep rooted conspiracy against their pay & promotion by some vested group in BSNL and rise to the occasion to fight against the injustice. The new concept of BSNL to frame SDE Seniority list on date of joining is going to adversely affect the career growth of all BSNL Recruits & LDCE Qualified executives i.e. 2002, 2007, 2012 passed LDCE candidates and subsequent LDCEians, who will be put en-block junior to person who got promoted through Seniority Quota. Now, batches like 2002, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2013 etc who are eying to go through up-coming LDCE and reach to higher level by occupying respectable seniority in "All India SDE Seniority" may be adversely affected. Their chance to reach DGM/GM level is going to be vanished if the situation is allowed to be continued. They may have to end up at DET level in their career as they will be put in the bottom most through this formula in All India Seniority List......A wake call to all of you.

Recruitment of dgm in bsnl from external candidates:
.
Recruitment of DGM from among the external candidates having Engineering Degree (60%) and post qualification experience with minimum 5 years in a company having turnover of Rs 100 Cr but denying the internal executives having Engineering Degree (up to 80%) along with additional qualification of MTech/MBA and experience more than 12 years in BSNL itself having turnover more than RS 27000 Cr is not at all justified. Even a layman can realize this fact.As per our analysis and information received through internal sources, more than 750 internal candidates have passed the written exam of DGM without any preparation and hardly 2-3 candidates from external are in top 100. Denying the internal talent and recruiting inferior DGM from among external candidates is nothing but simply a scam on cost of our career and compromising the interest of the company. We are not only the employee of this company but also a stake holder. This company is made with the taxes of the public which includes our parents also. Nobody is having authority to employ the officers as per his whims and fancy. There must be parity in eligibility and open competition. Candidates securing higher merit must be given appointment. Internal candidates are always given preference but here in BSNL internal candidates are kept out from the race for DGM recruitment. This is nothing but simply abuse to our qualification, talent and experience.Although, this decision was taken by the earlier board and our present CMD and Director (HR) both have assured to take final call which shall be fair and just. Meeting on this issue is scheduled on 23-09-2015 with Director (HR) where we expect the decision to scrap this discriminatory DGM recruitment which is filled with vested interest and chance of corruption.Meanwhile this association requests every executive who have appeared in the DGM exam held on 20-10-2013 to please represent against this DGM recruitment once again to secure our legal right. this association also request to members to please explore the possibility of legal remedy in line of this representation to take stay on DGM appointment. The format for representation is attached herewith. (Finance people must make changes as per requirement). All respective executives are requested to send the representation to the authority as attached. Click here for representation format

Congratulation... Recommendation on CPSE hierarchy finalized:
.
Joint Committee recommendation on CPSE cadre hierarchy and uniform first time bound promotion is finalized on 11-09-2015 and signed by all the associations. As per the recommendations eligibility for all the promotions from one grade to another grade from JTO/JAO onwards will be uniform five years up to DGM on functional basis irrespective of vacancies and after achieving the bench marks and then DGM to SG-JAG time bound upgrdation will be given to those who are not able to get further promotion due to constraints of vacancies. However charge of DGM will be given up to the number of vacancies available in DGM cadre and rest of the executives will be treated DGM in parking lot i.e. they will get the charge of DGM as and when vacancy created without conducting further DPC. To resolve the past anomaly of first time bound upgradtion it is recommended that first promotion will be uniform in 5 years and same will be review notionally without affecting the financial benefits of those who have already got in 4 years. All the association have tried their level best to make eligibility of 4 years for first promotion but Chairman of the committee clearly conveyed that two member of this committee have already given their decent note and CMD has clearly conveyed that on implementation of CPSE cadre hierarchy there should not be any financial implication on company for getting approval from BSNL board. If committee will recommend in 4 years there is high risk that Management Committee itself will drop the recommendations on account of financial implication. This is not the best career policy as per our expectation but still much-much better than existing policy therefore we all should welcome this policy at this point of time and extend heartiest thanks to Chairman of the committee for moving towards resolution of this long pending issue. True copy of recommendations will be uploaded on website after getting signed from two more committee members who have given decent note which is expected on Monday.

Update about declaration of LDCE-2015 Result:
.
GS AIGETOA, AGS Sh Abhishek Jain and CS Delhi Sh Subhendu inquired about the status of result of LDCE for SDE (T) in the recruitment cell and pers Cell of BSNL CO. AGS Sh Abhishek Jain and CS Delhi Sh Subhendu also had meeting with GM (Rect/Pers) on this issue. It is communicated that preparation of LDCE result is under process and expected to be finished by 30th Sep-2015 but result cannot be declared till the stay granted by some of the CATs in different cases are vacated. GM (Pers) conveyed that although stay is granted in 4-5 cases by the different CATs but stay granted from Chandigarh CAT is prominent in a case of reservation policy in promotions. Chandigarh CAT has asked some detail as directed by the Honorable Supreme Court of India which is required for extending reservation in promotion. BSNL has already submitted partial details as available within the preview of BSNL and rest of the details are to be provided by Government of India because BSNL is following reservation and roster policy as per the guidelines of DOP&T.It is informed that BSNL has already referred this case to ASG for supplying necessary detail. Next hearing of this case is scheduled to be held on 21st Sep-2015 where ASG is expected to appear for submitting necessary detail and counter so that stay can be vacated. GM (Pers) assured to supply the detail of all the cases to this association on Monday so that this association can appeal the applicants and follow the cases for early vacation of stay orders. This association appeals all the executives who are involved in these cases to please rethink and withdraw the stay orders as keeping stay in promotions is not in the interest of anyone including them. Recommendations on CPSE hierarchy is already finalized and expected to be implemented in coming days wherein all the seniority related issues will automatically be finished but till implementation we must not stop the running promotions. If result of this exam declared in schedule time, the next LDCE will happen immediately which will benefits the applicants also.

Click here for draft recommendationsAIGETOA has submitted the feedback for necessary incorporation and modification in draft recommendations. Click here for feedback
Friends, the reason of formation of AIGETOA is slowly bearing fruits in terms of the resolution of our basic cadre issues and getting favourable decisions in terms of our due rights. it's a very important phase for HR Policies in BSNL because after a long and sustained struggle; an executive can dream to reach the apex of its career if the policies under consideration will get the approval of BSNL Management and Board. Some of the basic cadre issues which AIGETOA fought with all vigor and energy from so many years in BSNL; may see the light of the day in near future if our suggestions accepted in true sense. The support of all sister associations in our persuasions & fight for the cause as well as cooperation of senior officers on these matter are also appreciable. The valuable leadership of our present CMD and Dir(HR) has given us a hope that the fortune of our HR issues as well BSNL will turn around in the coming days. We are quite hopeful for a final and justified solution for atleast following cadre issues:
- 30% Superannuation: The management has agreed to increase the contribution from earlier 3% to 6% of "Basic+IDA" from current date in the AIGETOA meeting with Dir(HR) on 3-9-2015. But we are demanding 12% of "Basic+IDA" from 1-10-2000. Standard scale of E2/E3 to JTO/SDE equivalent: The Committee recommended E2/E3 Scale for JTO/SDE equivalent. Now its approval from different stages are the next task.
- CPSE Cadre hierarchy for time bound functional promotion: The committee draft has agreed for the Time Bound Functional Promotion upto DGM. Now a consensus and its approval in different stages are the next task. .
So, its time to move forward and make strong cohesiveness among ourselves to convert these advantages into final results for all executive in general & DR Executives in special, considering their maximum loss in the run up to fight. On this occasion, we also appeal to the remaining DR Executives to pay their annual membership contribution of Rs 1254/- to AIGETOA directly into the chq account as detailed in the above scroll to strengthen the platform. Your feedback is highly welcomed at "aigetoabh@gmail.com".

AIGETOA meeting with Director(HR) at BSNL CO New Delhi:
.
In adherence to the letter issued by SR cell, AIGETOA had submitted the agenda letter to Director (HR) on 02-09-2015 for discussion in the scheduled time slot for AIGETOA on 03-09-3015. Click here for letterThe meeting of AIGETOA was held with Director (HR) on 03-09-2015 at schedule time and discussion on the agenda items as submitted above was held. President Sh Ravishil Verma, AGS Sh Amit Roy, CWC member Delhi Sh Vivek, OS Delhi Sh Badri Mehta from Association side and GM (Pers), GM (Estt), GM (SR), DGM (Pers) were present in the meeting. AIGETOA has submitted the detail of issues with actual demand & justifications according to which the discussion was held. Click here for detail of the issuesOUTCOME OF THE MEETING:
30% superannuation Benefit:
Director (HR) proposed 6% of Basic+DA for contribution towards pension scheme as a part of 30% superannuation benefit in respect of direct recruits and she mention that as per the earlier committee report date of effect will be from the date of presidential order in this regard. She also mentions that it has never been appraised to her about the demand of AIGETOA for date of effect from Oct-2000. We strongly conveyed that it is wrong to say that AIGETOA has not appraised about the date of effect from Oct-2000. In our every letter and agitation notice all the facts and details about quantum and date of effect both are mentioned very clearly. In fact, Association has written at least five letters to madam herself on this issues when she was working as ED (Finance) and now Director (HR).AIGETOA appreciated the effort and concern of Director (HR) after her joining for resolution of this very genuine and critical issue but at the same time strongly coveys that 6% contribution against 12% due and date of effect from date of presidential order against Oct-2000 is not a fair deal and justice to the direct recruits. Most of the JTO/JAOs have already completed their half of the service and if pension scheme will be implemented from date of presidential order, it will not only be gross injustice to them but also their retired life will be on dark. AIGETOA will further take up this issue with CMD BSNL and request to take decision purely one merit and render justice to the direct recruits on this issue which is nothing but our life after retirement. We understand the difficulty of the BSNL board to make contribution for past arrear which will come around Rs 300 Cr but we are not demanding this amount as on today. BSNL board must agree principally and arrear amount can be contributed in installments say Rs 50 Cr per year or even less or when company earns profit. Rs 300 Cr from the account of the company having turnover in tune of Rs 30000 Cr is not a big amount especially when it saves the retire life of around about 30000 employees. Most importantly BSNL has already deducted this amount from the salary of direct recruits by extending lower pay scale of E1A instead E2 in the name of pension contribution; there is no question of stopping arrear contribution. This association is very much hopeful that our present CMD, Director (HR) and other board of Directors will understand the criticality, merit and necessity of the issue so that issue can be resolved in totality to end the fight for ever.
DGM recruitment from among outside:
Detail discussion on this issue took place and association has clearly conveyed the resentment of the qualified executives of BSNL that they are not at all going to accept any such recruitment which have no merit, framed to satisfy some vested interest on the cost of internal executives and only abuse/hurt our dignity and talent hence demanded to scrap the ongoing process of DGM recruitment from among outside ignoring more qualified and experience internal talent. Association has also demanded to have investigation behind vested interest in making DGM recruitment from among outside. This association is quite sure that some VYAPAM type of scam will come out if it will be investigated with proper agency. Director (HR) was quit convinced with our concern but conveyed that this decision was taken by the earlier board and She is not in the position to declare it wrong without going into the depth of the issue. She wants some more time to study the background of the issue but assured that no injustice will be done on internal candidates. She instructed GM (Pers) to share all the detail behind DGM recruitment and also the court order based on which eligibility of the internal candidates were denied.

It shows that consistent struggle for genuine issues never go to vain.

It is responsibility of the company to arrange money for genuine issues. This association is very much hopeful that these words of Director (HR) will open the door of justice and our all the genuine issues will be resolved on merit.

Congratulation! Joint Committee recommended E2 fro JTO & E3 for SDE:
.
Congratulations!!! In today's meeting, the committee has finally decided to extend E2 and E3 in place of E1A and E2A w.e.f. 01.01.2007. Though management side wanted to recommend that Arrears may be given after company comes into profit but due to strong objection from the association side, it was decided that committee will submit its recommendations by incorporating the views of all the members in the report and let the final decision on the arrears payment will be taken by board . Cascading effect was not in the purview of the committee and hence decision on the same was not given. Next meeting is scheduled on 27th July 2015 to discuss the CPSU cadre hierarchy.After the recommendation of the committee, the issue will to go through the Management Committee, BSNL Board and then DoT for issuing presidential directive. The implementation of E2 scale to JTO will increase his/her pay by approximately 3500/-. This will be especially beneficial for 2007 onward & upcoming JTO batches. This will also help us to check further demotion of JTO/JAO as proporsed in new JTO RR (JTO at E1).
Friends, the battle are only half won. We will go all out to ensure that arrears are not dropped at any cost. For the delay on the part of the management, we cannot let the executives suffer.

Organisational Action Program Deferred by 6-months:
.
Three days nationwide hunger fast called by the united forum of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA was observed successfully all over India on first day. Executives from the nook and corner of the country participated actively and shown overwhelming support to make the programs a grand success.
Realizing the gravity and strength of the agitation, four rounds of talks were held with Senior GM (SR), GM (Pers), Director (HR) and CMD BSNL with the representatives of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA. Considering our demands and acknowledging the genuineness of the issues raised and the subsequent resentment and unrest amongst the executives, BSNL management informed us that they have deferred the internal and external MT exam for six months. We insisted that since the discussion on CPSU hierarchy is going on in the committee headed by ED (NB), any discussion on the requirement of any fast track mechanism within internal candidates should be held thereafter and MT in any form is not acceptable to us. We also pleaded with management to inform the timeline for resolution and progress on other pending HR issues discussed with Director (HR). Director (HR) appreciated our concern and directed Senior GM (SR) to issue a letter in line with the discussions.
Thereafter, CMD BSNL assured that he has been personally monitoring the developments and he is aware of the commitment given by HR wing. He further reaffirmed his commitment for resolution of the NO MT issue raised by the forum and resolution of other HR issues in a time bound manner. He also assured us that an agenda meeting with United Forum shall be held on Monday, the 13th July 2015 for his review of the HR issues. CMD BSNL emphasized on the need for exercising restraint and patience in view of the formalities associated with the matter. He also asked us to concentrate on the viability of the BSNL and making the recently launched schemes popular i.e. free night calling and free roaming and to provide quality services to the customers. We assured our fullest cooperation in his endeavor to turn around BSNL and to achieve its pristine glory.
Sri Ravishil Verma President-AIGETOA, Sri Amit Roy AGS-AIGETOA along with General Secretary & President of AIBSNEA attended all the meetings with the management and also addressed the meeting during hunger fast at BSNL CO, New Delhi. In response to the positive gesture shown by the BSNL management particularly CMD BSNL, forum of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA has decided to defer the ongoing agitation program for six months.
Although, some break through has been achieved but final outcome is awaited. We sincerely hope that management will honour its commitment for implementation of CPSU cadre hierarchy and resolution of pending HR issues in a time bound manner, failing which we all should keep ourselves ready for resuming the deferred agitation program. At this juncture, we request all the members of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA and other executives who supported the program, to resume their duties immediately and to concentrate for the growth of BSNL. We extend our sincere gratitude and heartfelt thanks to all the office bearers, esteemed members and well-wishers for their overwhelming support to the agitation program.Click here for letter of deferment by ForumClick here for 1st Appeal by GM(SR) BSNL CO, New Dlehi Click here 2nd Appeal by GM(SR) BSNL CO, New Dlehi

Total 50 candidates out of 106 notified vacancies in telecom Operation and total 9 candidates out of 56 notified vacancies have qualified from among outside candidates.

Committee meeting with executives associations on MT-Issue:
.
On 30-06-2015 committee meeting on MT issue is held at 10:00 am. General Secretary of AIBSNLEA, AIGETOA, SNEA and AIBSNLOA have participated from association's side. AIBSNLEA, AIGETOA and AIBSNLOA were on the same opinion that MT recruitment must not be done with present notification and need to be withheld. First management should finalize the time bound promotion policy in line with CPSE cadre hierarchy and then must discuss about the any other recruitment if required only at SAG/HAG level Posts. We have also pleaded that all CPSEs make single recruitment of fresh candidates at executive's level and then promote them up to top level by measuring their performance and experience. Same set of promotion policy must be implemented in BSNL. Unfortunately our sister association SNEA (I) conveyed that they are not concerned with external MT recruitment but pleaded that internal MT recruitment must take place on notified date as their members are crossing the age of 50 years. It is well known that present MT RR is having the provision of external and internal both and their seniority is interlinked, there is no possibility of only internal recruitment without scrapping the present MT RR.
From Management side GM (Pers/Rect) advocated the external MT as need for the company to acquire fresh talent in BSNL in other words BSNL is having no talent. He was also in the view that only MT can turn around the company. GM (Pers) has offered that let the exam to be conducted and result may be withheld till the finalization of CPSE cadre hierarchy which was rejected by three association i.e. AIGETOA, AIBSNLEA and AIBSNLOA. It is surprising that GS SNEA against his previous claim of implementation of CPSE cadre hierarchy before 15-08-2015, was of the opinion that MT recruitment in current hierarchy must continue till the implementation of CPSE cadre hierarchy in BSNL because, after the implementation of the CPSE cadre hierarchy all the RRs of SDEs/DEs/DGM level executives will be scrapped hence, our people will not be able to become MT.
Finally GM (Pers) decided to put the opinion of individual representatives along with his own opinion before competent authority for taking final decision. Over all talk is failed and forum of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA has decided to go with proposed agitation. This is matter of career of back bone cadre i.e. JTO/JAO/SDE/AO of this company and forum is ready for long and serious struggle. This is not the issue of any particular association but it is issue of every executives in BSNL so please this is high time to come forward and be the part of the historic agitation. Participate en-masse in the lunch hour demonstration on 01-07-2015. Let us, defeat the ulterior motive of the management to kill the career prospects of BSNL executives and against non-settlement of the pending HR issues.

Mass agitation at Gaya SSA deferred after initiation of EPF works:

Mass agitation started at Gaya SSA against non-settlement of EPF Issues:
.
The serious anomaly & mess in EPF Accounts of BSNL Recruited Employees [Executives+Non-Executives] of Gaya SSA has forced them to move on agitational path from 15-June'15 (Mon). The GMTD Gaya completely ignored the issue even after continuous pursuasion by DR JTOs and TTAs of Gaya from last two years. The migration to ERP platform forced the executives to take this fight at the organisational level, otherwise the EPF Account may be transferred with anomaly to Circle Offcie in ERP Module. The GMTD Gaya is known for his prompt action towards operation/maintenance and Sales of Telecom Service but he himself failed to maintained the only social security available from Govt of India to his own BSNL Recruited Employees. This shows one sided approach of the management when it comes to employees related issues causing serious de-motivation & frustation. Association falied to understand that why the management failed to recognise the importance of HR issues of employees, which should be the backbone of a company!!!!!! Sri Wasi Ahmad CS/AIGETOA & Sri Krishna Kumar CS/AIBSNLEA met to the Sr GM(HR/Admin) Circle Office Patna to apprise him the volatile situation at Gaya and adamant behaviour of the GMTD Gaya to resolve the crisis amicably. The forum has also written to the CGMT Bihar Circle to intervene in the matter and resolve it on merit otherwise the associations will be forced to take up the matter with with legal pursuit against the principal employer, which will be an embrassing situation for the department.

Forum requested Director (HR) for giving concrete time bound, written assurance for the resolution of long pending HR issues and immediate withdrawal of the MT recruitment and in the absence of MT withdrawal, it is not possible for us to withdraw our agitation. Although Director (HR) has shown some positive sign but in absence of any concrete decision, the talk failed further.
This is the matter of our career and dignity, hence Forum has no option but to continue with the proposed agitation. Forum will not withdraw this agitation till unconditional withdrawal of MT and concrete resolution of other HR issues. All executives are requested to join this Mass Dharna on 9-10 Jun'15 and be part of saviour of your career & dignity.
Friends, Forum is fully confident that we will be able stop the unjustified and unwarranted MT recruitment and resolve our long pending HR issues. All the Executives are requested to ensure full participation on 9th and 10th June-2015 to make two days Dharna a grand success and be ready to further intensify the protest.

Our GS-AIGETOA, Shri R. P. Shahu attended the committee meeting headed by Shri M.A. Khan, ED (NB) formed by CMD BSNL on HR-Matters. The official side was represented by GM (Estt), GM (EF) and DGM (Pers) along with the ED(NB) and the association side was represented by GS-AIGETOA, GS-AIBSNLEA & GS-SNEA(I), who are members of the committee. Discussion was limited to finalization of standard pay scale as decided on last meeting. Detail discussion took place on financial implication and cascading effect but most of the discussion was repetition of old discussion. Rough calculation on financial implication was presented from management side. All the association representatives unanimously said that in any case BSNL is bound to finalize the standard pay scale in replacement of E1A and E2A which cannot be downgraded hence there is only option to go for E2 and E3 respectively. Chairman of the committee desired the exact and final calculation in the next meeting so that various options can be exercised with or without cascading effect. Committee is heading towards positive direction we hope there will be conclusive decision in next meeting on this issue. Due to leave of Smt Madhu Arora GM (Eastt) in next month the next meeting is scheduled on 07.07.2015.

CMD told that he committed to protect the interest of executives as well as company. He would like to have detail discussion on this issue in presence of Director (HR) after his return.
Note: All Executives of ETR Bihar are here by requested to not get de-motivated and work on far footing basis to stregthen the network of ETR Bihar inspite of all constraints.

.
Congratulation to the executives of ETR Bihar for staging a united and successful Dharna on 22-May'15 all across the Bihar for your rightful demand for transfer of Shri Sujit Kumat Gupta DGM-ETR Patna.

MT Notification- Zero tolerance to attack on our Dignity, Qualfn & Talent:
.
So for we are deprived from various financial benefits including pay scale and social security but recruitment of MT in BSNL above already recruited professionally qualified direct recruits having executive experience up to 12 year in BSNL itself is direct attack and abuse to our dignity, qualification and talent. This association has shown the resentment of direct recruit’s executives in year 2008 against the MT recruitment but seems BSNL has very short memory. There are several flaws in internal MT which will be trapped in litigation and we have several apprehension about recruitment of external MT. any recruitment in CPSEs must be well justified and must not be just to protect or abuse some cadre. There is no justification of MT recruitment above already recruited professionally qualified executives in BSNL but it is just to protect the ITS deputation beyond rule and clear abuse to DR executives.

Meeting of the Forum with Secretary(DoT) on Save BSNL-Save Nation:
.
The meeting of the Forum comprising of the General Secretaries of all Associations/Unions held with Secretary DoT at Delhi. The details of the meeting is in attached... Click here for the detailsForum was not in the opinion to have discussion on 30% superannuation benefit for direct recruits assuming this issue is not in the domain of DOT. DOT is not only administrative head of BSNL but also having 100% share. It’s true that 30% superannuation benefits falls under domain of BSNL but this benefit is not independent. It is linked with the lower IDA pay scale finalization of BSNL than MTNL which was finalized by DOT to extend the pensionary benefits. Subrule-23 of Rule-37A of CCS pension rule clearly says that BSNL has to devise it’s own pension scheme for its direct recruits employees. AIGETOA was expecting that convener forum will take up this issue with Secretary DOT in detail but when meeting was just about to sum up GS AIGETOA had to raise this issue independently before secretary DOT. As other constituent of forum except AIBSNLEA did not say any words on this issue and it was the last movement of the meeting this issue could not been heard properly.

AIGETOA filed writ petition on the finalization of Standard Pay Scale:
.
AIGETOA filed writ petition seeking direction to BSNL for compliance of mandatory order of DPE for finalization of standard pay scale for JTO and SDE equivalent. If BSNL management is not used to be scolded every time from external agencies like court of law for executing their basic responsibility for which they are being paid from public money then they must finalize the standard pay scale before replying the notice of the court. It is really shameful act of any public company and authority that even after passing of more than 6 years of DPE order and several reminders on the matter they are simply mute and enjoying salary from public money for harassing the employees. Establishment section proposed E1 (16400) pay scale for JTO/JAO. Such proposal can be given by a person only if either he doesn’t know anything about basic service rule. Even a layman having experience of working at the level of General Manager in HR would know that new basic after pay revision cannot be less then (Old Basic + DP + DA) which comes around 19000/- for JTO/JAO equivalent. There is very basic service rule which even peon working in section knows that whenever employees benefits is to be rounded off to standard one it is always next higher and it can never be the next lower. Moreover as 100% DA is neutralized and fresh DA started with changed index the new basic must be fixed in such a way that inflation on old basic can be compensated.

AIGETOA won EPF Case at Chennai for training period contribution:
.
Congratulation one and all, Division bench of Honorable High Court of Chennai dismissed the writ appeal of BSNL and pronounced the final order in favor of our arguments on the matter of EPF contribution for the training period which upheld the earlier decision given by EPFO and Single Bench of Honorable High Court of Chennai.
Honorable Court has also pointed out in the operating portion of the order itself that Appellant (BSNL) ought not to have come up with the writ appeals at all. Honorable court was annoyed with the said act of BSNL and wanted to put cost but since the EPFO has teeth in terms of other provisions to teach the lesson to BSNL, has not imposed any cost and leave it to EPFO to proceed further in terms of section 7A.This was made possible only due to the AIGETOA Platform and untiring effort by our Chairman, Legal Committee, Sri Surinder Mahar, who fought the case under patronage of AIGETOA with full vigor & energy.

AIGETOA Bihar leaders met to the CGMT for redresser of HR & EPF issues:
.
The leaders of AIGETOA Bihar Sri Wasi Ahmad CS, Sri Amit Kumar CP & Sri Mukesh Kumar OS(E) held an extensive meeting with the CGMT Bihar Circle on various HR & EPF issues of BSNL recruited executives of Bihar Circle. Shri Shiva Lal Singh CGMT-Bihar gave a patience hearing to all issues and discussed each one in detail. The meeting lasted for an hour and several BSNL Development related discussions also figured the meeting. We also invite all BSNL recruit executives and members of AIGETOA Bihar to fill up the above RESPONSE FORM to asses your issues and our performance. Your input will help us to serve you better in the coming days and expedite your problems/issues/grievances with Circle/SSA Administartion at all level. The various issues discussed with the CGMT on 8-April'15 and his responseare as under:1. Intra Circle Request Transfer in JTO/SDE Cadre: He assured us to look into the issue considering our views that the month of April is best suited for the exercise. The cases will be settled to maximum possible extent in accordance with the maintained waiting list along with balancing of the strength of SSA. Some works are already underway and the request cases will be taken along with them in the current month itself. 2. Inter Circle (Rule-8) Request Transfer in JTO Cadre: He assured us that the policy of the circle with 1:1 will continue. He immediately ordered to relieve waiting list No-1 candidate, Sri Raja Moilly Votari JTO, against whom one JTO has arrived under Rule-8. All candidates under Rule-8 are requested to wait for their turn as per waiting list. We have ensured in Bihar Circle that JTOs under R-8 must be relieved as per waiting list and maintained 1:1 ratio as agreed with previous CGMT Bihar. This has smoothened the relieving and many JTOs have benefitted with this policy.3. Affects of ERP implementation on EPF & previous anamolies: It was brought to the knowledge of the CGMT that all BSNL recruited employees are going to suffer dearer after scheduled implementation of ERP in July'15. The salaries of all SSAs are going to be disbursed from Circle Office Patna after ERP implementation. So all EPF governed employees of SSAs are going to have a new EPF Number under Code BR/8144 of Circle Office, Patna. So it will be a great task to transfer all the old account belongings to new account. Further the existing/past anomalies if any will remain unresolved after ERP implementation and transfer with anomalies will cause severe monetary loss to all BSNL recruited employees. The management has not taken this aspect into consideration on ERP implementation.The CGMT got convinced with the problems associated with EPF under ERP implementations. He assured us that an advisory will be issued to all SSAs to resolve the anomaly if any under their SSA and be prepared to shift previous account to new account on implementation of ERP immediately.4. IDA Upgradation of remining executives: The IDA up-gradation of remaining executives have been slowed down due to (i) non-receipt of Annex-1 & 2, VC, APR from SSAs and (ii) non-seen certificates in the APAR in many cases. So the CGMT has requested us to call our fellow members to expedite sending of required documents and provide a seen certificate on their APAR already submitted with circle office. We all should try to get the 1st IDA upgradation works of all 2007 & 2008 batch JTOs completed by May'2015. The co-operation of all of you is required for this exercise on priority.5. Confirmation in the cadre of JTOs: This issue was raised on several occasions by us but we failed to respond when circle started activity to complete this task. The first letter issued in Januray'2015 & reminder issued in March'2015 for sending VC, APR & APAR from SSAs/ETR/ETP to Circle Office, Patna for issuance of Confirmation order. But it is utter surprise that hardly 3-4 SSAs have send the report and we are also sleeping and not forcing the admin/staff section of respective SSAs to send the requisite as demanded by circle office for the works. You all are requested to meet SSA Head in this matter and request him to send the details latest by 20th April'2015. It is also being informed to you to bring in the knowledge of your Circle Secretary Sri Wasi Ahmad (9431200347) about non co-operation from SSA if any (even after your request).5. Stand of AIGETOA Bihar on look after promotion: AIGETOA Bihar has also clarified its stand on the look after arrangement. We have clarified to the CGMT that we are very much concerned with the shortage of officers in the DE ranks and want that circle should issue the DE look after arrangement at the earliest. But at the same time we will not allow any violation of BSNL HQ guidelines and implementation of self imposed condition for the local promotion on one pretext or other. Any intentional debar of BSNL recruit (either in present/future) by imposing the criteria of E-4 scale will be opposed tooth & nail. The Circle should must circulate the circle seniority list of SDE under consideration for look after order in DE and strictly follow the list irrespective of the scale as defined in BSNL HQ instructions.

AIGETOA won EPF Training pd contribution case at Hon'ble Madras High Court:
.
Today the Hon’ble Madras High Court has dismissed BSNL’s Appeal filed against the order of Single Bench in matter of EPF contribution on Stipend paid during Pre-induction training of all direct recruits.
.
This association has been trying to convince BSNL authorities regarding contribution of EPF for pre-appointment training since year-2005 but same is not considered. Finally this association through it’s representatives had filed the case in EPFO where order was delivered in favor of us. But some vested interest sitting in corporate office on deputation and enjoying various illegal benefits instead of implementing said order, preferred to appeal in Hon’ble High Court of Madras just to put loss to direct recruits. Single bench of Hon’ble High Court Madras also delivered judgment in favor of us but said order was not implemented. During the agitation of this association in Aug-2013, Director (HR) clearly directed GM (Establishment) to implement the said order but GM (Establishment) instead of implementing has directed to pursue the case in double bench of Hon’ble Madras High Court. This association has warned GM (Establishment) regarding huge penalty to be imposed by EPFO with every passing day but he claimed himself to be right for not implementing the said order. Finally this association has decided to defend the case in Hon,ble Madras High Court through one of the applicant Sh Surinder Mahar (Ex-AGS and chairman of legal committee of this association). Now Hon’ble Madras High court has out rightly rejected the appeal of BSNL. As per this order, BSNL will have to pay EPF contribution (i.e. employee's contribution as well as employer’s contribution) along with interest on the amount of stipend paid during pre appointment training. This order is applicable to all direct recruit employees. All the direct recruits will be benefited by about 25-30 thousands. The same GM is handling the case of pay scale and superannuation issue and working on same mentality to put loss to direct recruits. BSNL must not only make EPF contribution along with interest but also must fix the responsibility to this GM and recovery must be made from his personal account. BSNL must also scrutinize such officers posted on deputation but working against the interest of BSNL and it’s employees. All such officers must be immediately sent back to their parent department. This association will ensure that personal responsibility must be fixed to the responsible authority in this case, if need arise this association will file separate case for fixing personal responsibility so that no such vested interest can dare to work against the interest of the company and it’s employees.
This association is extremely thankful to Sh. Surinder Mahar, AO Kurukshetra for strongly pursuing this case. Order copy expected soon.

OA No 185/2013 at Hon'ble CAT Ernakulam dismissed: A Case Study for DR:
.
OA No. 185/2013 regarding inter-se-seniority among Direct Recruit and promoted JTOs dismissed by the Hon'ble CAT Ernakulam (Kerala) on 16-Jan'2015. It is a serious setback for all DR fraternity in general and Kerala colleagues in special, who fought a long legal battle at the Hon'ble Court to get your legitimate due in JTO-Seniority list and so promotion in SDE(T). This case was very important to all our Direct Recruit JTOs out of which many have served more than 11-13 years without their first promotion. A brief of the loss is described as follows for the understanding of our general members.
The seniority list of JTO has to be prepared in 1:1 ratio between departmental JTO and Direct Recruit JTO as per the JTO RR. The last eligibility list of JTOs published by BSNL HQ for considering promotion to the post of SDE(T) under 67% seniority cum fitness quota shows how the DR JTOs have been denied justice by distorting the rule of 1:1 seniority. The list shows how a Departmental JTO joined in 2005/2006 got senior to a Direct Recruit JTO of 2001/2002/2003, without following 1:1 rule. The case at Ernakulam was nothing but to demand a 1:1 seniority in the All India JTO Eligibility List under consideration for promotion and by doing so all remaining JTOs of 2001/2002 batch could have been promoted. Your seniority was improving by 2500 (approx) if the list was prepared in 1:1 fashion. But the biased BSNL management and sister association worked day & night to deny justice to the DR JTOs. It's a time to think and decide about genuine platform, who is real well wisher of DR fraternity and work towards your true welfare. We will come up again with more facts and figure in near future for your knowledge and reason to support us. Click here for the List

The agitational Program at Darbhanga has been deferred w.e.f. 27-Dec'2014 after withdrawal of suspension order of all the four executives by the GMTD Darbhanga on the intervention of the Sr. GM(HR/A) & CGMT Bihar Circle. The Circle Secretaries of all three executive associations met to the Sr. GM(HR/A), Circle Office Patna in the F/N of 27-Dec'14 in continuation of the fight started by AIGETOA against the injustice of Addl GM at Darbhanga. They demanded roll back of the suspension order immediately without further delay as the said order of suspension of four executives have been issued on whims & fancy of the Addl GM Darbhanga and it is in contravention of the BSNL CDA Rule and natural justice. We registered our strong protest against the irresponsible behavior of Addl GM Darbhanga, who proceeded on leave after putting the SSA at turmoil. We requested Sr. GM(HR/A) to apprise details to the worthy CGMT and ensure rollback of the suspension order to restore normalcy at SSA immediately in the interest of BSNL. The respected CGMT took cognizance of the situation & acted swiftly to restore normalcy at SSA by ensuring withdrawal of all suspension orders on 27-Dec 2014. So JAC at Darbhanga decided to defer the agitation till further notification subject to fulfillment of issues. The whole issue was handled very boldly & carefully by our Circle Sec, Sri Wasi Ahmad at Circle level, who deserves all praise from us. .We thank Sr. GM(HR/A) and CGMT Bihar Circle for their timely intervention to resolve the crisis at Darbhanga and ensure justice to all officials of Darbhanga SSA. We also thank all officers and staff of Darbhanga SSA, who shown unity and raised on occasion to fight against injustice. Here, we would like to extend our special thanks to Shri Navin Kumar Nayan [DP/AIGETOA] and Shri Manish Kumar Mishra [DS/AIGETOA], who deserve credit to organise this mass movement in association with other fellow colleagues and sister associations/unions at Darbhanga. This unity & courage gives us ammunition to fight for your right & suppression always. We also extend our special thanks to Shri Krishna Kumar CS/AIBSNLEA for providing all support from day one in this movement. . .Now, AIGETOA appeal all our officers and staff at Darbhanga to work with extra efficiency and try to cover up the losses happened to the SSA due to the deadlock. We also appeal to the GMTD Darbhanga & Bihar Circle Administration to seize the opportunity and take necessary action to resolve all pending issues/grievances to restore confidence of the employee. Atlast, we extend our sincere thanks & respect to Circle Secretaries of AIGETOA, AIBSNLEA & SNEA for thier seasoned diplomacy at Circle to resolve the crisis.Appeal by the GMTD Darbhanga Click here for the withdrawal of suspension orderClick here for the letter to defer the agitation

The team lead by the Organising Sec(E)/Circle President/Circle Secretary AIGETOA Bihar and Circle Secretary AIBSNLEA Bihar met to the Sr. GM (HR/A) and CGMT Bihar immediately after the information received from Darbhanga SSA in the evening of 23-Dec'2014 and shown strong displeasure and call for immediate roll out of the order.The executives of Darbhanga SSA in a meeting decided to proceed on a mass protest w.e.f. 24-Dec'14 against injustice to the officials and various charges against the addl GM Darbhanga to inflict damage to the BSNL.

A joint letter have been submitted to the CGMT to roll back the order immediately and start investigation against the Addl GM Darbhanga about the serious charges labeled against him by the Vigilance department. The charges against the Addl GM are serious and his continuation at the station may tamper the evidence and so he must be removed from Darbhanga SSA to ensure impartial probe.We appeal all executives of BSNL Bihar to maintain industrial peace and harmony and do not get agitated over the act of the Addl GM Darbhanga as the Sr. GM(HR/A) & CGMT Bihar have assured to resolve the issue on merit. We also appeal to the GMTD Darbhanga, Sr. GM(HR/A) & CGMT Bihar Circle to intervene in the matter immediately to defuse crisis at Darbhanga and maintain tranquility at remaining places in the larger interest of BSNL.Click here for the Letter by United Forum to the CGMT Bihar

Sri Wasi Ahmad, CS-AIGETOA Bihar has also requested CMD BSNL for the notification of LDCE during his visit to Patna on 2nd Sep'2014. After hard effort by our CHQ leaders, the vacancy upto 2013-14 has been added to extend the advantage to JTOs of upto 2008 batch. It's a best chance for BSNL Recruited JTOs to get promoted to the cadre of SDE(T) under LDCE as seniority quota (DPC) promotion to SDE(T) is very bleak for DR JTOs due to biased approached of the management as well as sister association for not preparing the All India JTO seniority list in 1:1 (between Departmental JTO & Direct Recruit JTO) fashion as per JTO RR. Here, we are providing some relevant details/rules/circulars regarding LDCE for a better understanding for all new batches JTOs of 2005, 2007 & 2008 in the given below links.

Honb'le Ernakulat CAT hearing on 23-aug'14 for 1:1 seniority in DPC:
.
Today, Sri Wasi Ahmad CS/AIGETOA spoken to CP/AIGETOA Kerala and discussed in length about the Honb'le Ernakulam CAT Case files by DRs of Kerala for fixation of seniority list of JTO in 1:1 quota for the proposed DPC of JTO to SDE. He is one of the leader, under whose supervision the case is being followed in Kerala Circle. Bihar Circle vows to support our fellow DRs of Kerala Circle in all respect in the fight for the cause of DRs. We have taken the similar DoP&T matter with the Bihar Circle Management in 2010-11 for framing of JTO Circle Gradation List in accordance with DoPT. We made all efforts to send the list as per above rules and hence the list was delayed for a considerable period.
Now, we will have to start it afresh to get the justice for all DRs, otherwise we will suffer always. A gathering will be held shortly in this regard to explain various points of the guidelines and seek support from all DRs for it's implementation.
At the same time we will also emphasize our CHQ to take up the matter with BSNL Corporate Office regarding applicability of 1:1 fixation as well as DoP&T guidelines implementation for jto to sde DPC as well as announcement of LDCE in accordance with Chandigarh CAT judgment for year wise vacancy. The issue for single paper with revised syllabus has already been acceded by the management and it is in the final stage of approval, so we should take all efforts to ensure holding of LDCE at the earliest. A detail discussion & decision is expected in CWC Hyderabad on DPC on the line of appeal filed in Honb'le Ernakulam CAT and holding of LDCE in the line of Honb'le Chandigarh CAT. The AIGETOA CWC at Hyderabad on 22-23 Aug'14 is expected to bring some concrete roadmap for the realisation of long pending issues of Pay Scale, loss of pay for 07/08 batches, DPC, LDCE, Superannuation Benefit to DRs, CPSU Hierarchy, Separate Recognition for DRs through AIGETOA without going into membership verification etc. All DRs are requested to have faith in the organisation and do not mislead by rumors. United we will stand but divided we will fall....

It is to clarify that the members should not be confused about Higher Level Committee formed by BSNL management.

So this association has decided to intensify the agitation program.
BSNL Management has been conveying to different authorities that only small group of AIGETOA is agitating and most of the direct recruits are satisfied. It is high time to show that all the direct recruits are not satisfied and participating in ongoing agitation. All direct recruits of BSNL, irrespective of unions and associations, are requested to apply leave for 20th Feb & 21st Feb-2014 en-masse and reach Delhi by 20th Feb-2014 morning.

Another discrimination of DR JTO/SDE by BSNL Management :
.
The BSNLMS RR 2009 is again amended to discriminate the BSNL Recruited Executives. In the recently issued order, under the influence of other associations, it has been decided by BSNL management to increase the quota of regular STS Promotion under "SENIORITY CUM FITNESS" from earlier 50% to 75% and decrease the MT(competitive) quota from earlier 50% to 25% and continued MT(External) provisions with MT(Internal). On one side, we DRs are suffering in all ways by the biased attitude of management and others are celebrating. Either it is the new draft of JTO RR-2014 (where scale was downgraded to E1 & Qualification was compromised to MSC) or revised MSRR order (where our right was encrotched by reducing our post from 1325 to 663), all are pushing us further down and dampening the pay, careers & motivation of DRs in BSNL, where as all benefits are being extended to other set of people in the same organisation. Where is the Justice???? Where is the so called champion of Massiah of DRs? Definitely, we will have to fight our self for our rights, others can't do justice!!
.
The revised MSRR order says:
.
A comparison of earlier provision with new one will open your eye, how you are being victimised. If it has not happened, then you would be getting 1325 post of MT exclusively for Internal Candidate. We will put further light in the days to come.

Suggestions from AIGETOA Members regarding draft of JTO RR-2014:
.
The Draft RR for JTOs have been issued by Establishment cell of BSNL CO. CHQ is in the process of preparing the comments of AIGETOA and the same will be submitted in due course of time. Any suggestions from members in this regard are welcome at chqaigetoa@gmail.com & at aigetoabh@gmail.com. These RR have taken us back to history when something similar happened to the first batch of direct recruits when Pay Scale of E1A was given in place of E2, just to compensate for the pension contribution. At that time also similar type of things may have occurred for which all the DRs are still paying the price. However, since amends have been made and we sincerely hope that at least this time there is an amount of seriousness and sincerity in their thoughts. If they have made a promise to fight the sinister designs, lock stock and barrel, we definitely hope for the same and welcome the approach. However, we still are waiting for the agitation program which was to be announced after their CWC, if it comes we will definitely support it whole heartedly because for us the result matters and not that that who did it.

BSNL Notified Rules for Membership Verification for Executives:
.
BSNL Corporate Office notified the rules for membership verification among Executives Associations in BSNL. This was awaited since long as no membership verification for Executives could happen in BSNL since its inception on 1st Oct'2000. Major points of the Rule are as follows:
.
- The Rules may be called BSNL (Recognition of Executives' Association) Rule, 2014BSNL shall have only one representative association of executives which gets majority votes in the membership verification subject to minimum of 35% membership of total votes of the working executives in BSNL.Further, any participating association other than majority representative association, which gets second majority votes and not less than 15% votes of the total working executives in BSNL, will be given the status of a ‘Support' association.
- In the unlikely case where none of the Associations gets the minimum eligibility %age of 35% to qualify as majority representative association, in that event all Associations crossing 15% of total votes would be given the status of Support association till fresh verification is conducted.
The Policy may have some flaws, which needs to be studied carefully and responded at proper platform. So all Direct Recruit Fraternity of JTOs/SDEs of Bihar Circle are requested to study the rules and give your suggestion in this regard to Shri Wasi Ahmad Circle Secretary AIGETOA Bihar and Shri Amit Kumar Circle President AIGETOA Bihar for discussion on CEC Bihar platform as well as to raise the matter with our CHQ Leadership.

United Forum of Executive Assns sumitted Memorandum to CMD/BSNL:
.
United Forum of BSNL Executives' Association [AIBSNLEA+AIGETOA+SNEA] writes to Shri R K Upadhyay, CMD BSNL regarding non-resolution of long pending HR issues of BSNL Executives' and breach of agreement reached between the United Forum of BSNL Executives' Association and BSNL Management leading to large scale resentment and demotivation among the Executives liable to retard the growth of the Company. The major issues taken up in the letter are:
.
1. The introduction of E-2 and E-3 pay scales for JTOs and SDEs Equivalent
2. Implementation of PSU cadre hierarchy vis-a-vis the present setup in BSNL
.
The intermediate pay scales of E1A and E2A proposed by BSNL Management for the JTO/JAO and SDE/AO equivalent cadres were repeatedly rejected by the DoT. The DPE has time and again instructed all the CPSUs to switch over to the standard pay scales instead of intermediate pay scales, declared by some PSUs on implementation of the 2nd PRC. The last reminder in this respect was issued by DPE in its OM dated 24.12.2012, much after the constitution of the Joint Committee. All other PSUs like BHEL, NTPC and ONGC, with intermediate pay scales earlier as in BSNL, have since switched over to the next higher standard pay scales w.e.f. 01.01.2007 based on the guidelines of DPE Govt of India.
The 2nd PRC report has been implemented in BSNL w.e.f. 01.01.2007. Non-finalization of the standard pay scales for JTO/JAO, SDE/AO and equivalent cadres even after a substantial lapse of 7 years has caused an anomalous situation in BSNL since the Time Bound promotions could not be implemented in its true spirit, after 01.01.2007 for want of finalization of the pay scales of JTO/JAOs recruited after 01.01.2007. Today these Executives face a huge difference in pay compared to their counter parts recruited prior to 01.01.2007.
Any further negligence and delay in resolving the above issues will force the United Forum on the path of agitation again to resolve the issues in the larger interest of cadre.
2nd JANUARY ’ 2014
IDA Rate will increase by 5% from January 2014 for PSU Employees:
.
The IDA w.e.f. 01-January-2014 has been increased by 5.0% i.e from 85.5% to 90.5% depends upon the Average All India Consumer Price Index Number for the months September-2013, October-2013 & November-2013.

AIGETOA Bihar wishes A Happy New Year 2014:
.
AIGETOA Bihar extends its warm wishes to all its members as well other employees & customers of BSNL for the happy, peaceful & prosperous life with their family & friends. Further, this New Year will be seen as an opportunity for BSNL Parivar to turn around the company from the dismal performance to a respectable status. But the senior management will have to understand that a war can’t be won with a demoralized & frustrated army. The foremost cadres of DR JTOs/SDEs of BSNL are seriously demoralized due to complete absence of any care for their rights, dues & aspiration from top management. This is a suicidal situation and needs immediate attention to check further erosion of confidence from this young & talented group of people. On this New Year we wish that a better sense will prevail and the new dawn will bring hope & care for all.
As deduction of monthly subscription from salary couldn't be started due to some technical glitch, it is requested all DR Executives to make payment of annual subscription of Rs 1200 for financial year 2016-17 (April'16 - Mar'17) to your Dist/Finance Secretary or AIGETOA CHQ account directly and update your records at CHQ website.
