Though this meeting was scheduled on

discussed were of his vertical. Accordingly, the meeting was rescheduled by

AGS SNEA CHQ, Mrs. Anu Agrawal, CP
SNEA BSNL CO and Shri. Arvind Pal
Dahiya, CS SNEA BSNL CO.
Formal Agenda Meeting started with a brief
address by Director HR BSNL Board who welcomed the participants with a note on the very purpose of this short
notice special meeting and shared what he desires to discuss today. He directed
his team to note all the points for issuing correct and factual minutes of the
meetings.
In reciprocation we conveyed thanks to
Director HR and his team, for arranging this short notice agenda meeting with
focus on resolution of Key issues as raised by SNEA and requested for kind
consideration for priority settlement of these issues before All India
Conference at Bhopal.
Director HR responded very positively and
affirmatively by taking note of it and directed all PGMs to give due
consideration to the request and to have efforts for consideration of this
special request of SNEA and see that all possible issues are decided quickly
and as early as possible.
Before starting on actual agenda points
submitted, we raised the concern of mass unrest among the BSNL Executives in
the recent Mixed Transfer Order and we categorically pointed out how this Khichdi
order has created mass industrial unrest among executives and how it has
created doubts on actions and credibility of the Management.
We have further elaborated how these transfers
have affected the morale of executives and how the working of BSNL will be
affected with so much relocation. We expressed that the order is so complex
that even it took a lot of time to understand this order and till many details
are unknown and we are shocked to know such order with good aim and objective
but not giving any respect to Transfer policy , uniformity , transparency and
clarity which is need of any transfer order in Government Organization.
We submitted that the HR team of BSNL Headed
by Director HR has always shown great HR approach towards BSNL Executives which
is totally missing in this order and requested to disclose names of officers,
who have decided this Khichdi Order creating the mass resentment and unrest
amongst BSNL executives at Pan India.
Director HR agreed to the concern expressed by
the association and shared that being HR Head of BSNL, he owns the
responsibility of the issues in the Transfer order and no need to share the
names. He added that whatever are the issues noted in this order, the Association
may share details to PGM Pers and firmly assured all such issues will be given
due consideration.
We shared that though there are many issues
with this order we find some good out of this order also and details of as good outcome of this order {Copy <<>>} , the details of wrong doings,
policy violation, pick and choose depriving even executives from Tenure
stations, deliberate dislocation of SDEs promoted as AGM under LICE quota even
from Circles having shortage of AGMs and when it was assured to post against
existing vacancies etc. {Copy <<>>} and corrective action required for clearing
unrest among executives. {Copy <<>>}.
We also shared critical issues in this order
viz. only 15 days joining time is given in this order instead of 40 days, Posting
of AGMs at SDCA level when no post of AGMs is justified even at OA level and
requested for immediate corrective action in this order well within guidelines
of BSNL.
Director HR gave a look at the submissions by SNEA
and directed PGM Pers to discuss all these issues with SNEA in a separate meeting
within a day or two and resolve all possible issues with topmost priority.
We narrated that many individuals affected
with this order have submitted the representations for justice and need
immediate consideration and instructions for not relieving these executives as some of the overactive
Circle/BA Heads have started forceful relieving of the executives. We added
that those who are willing and requesting for immediate relieving needs to be
relieved and Circle/BA Heads may do it proactively, but the executives who are
having issues and grievances needs to be given time and due consideration
before any such forceful relieving.
Director HR informed that there will be no
pressure from BSNL CO for immediate relieving of Executives who have
represented for redressal of their grievances will be given due consideration.
In conclusion of discussions on the issues
with recent Khichadi Order of Transfer posting and Promotions, Director HR assured that all the issues raised
by SNEA will be looked after one by one and also individual representations will
also be given consideration and there is no need to panic. But he categorically
added that the review of this order will be done only under directions of CMD
BSNL for keeping BSNL First.
We conveyed thanks for the concern and
approach of Director HR and shared that our suggestions for corrective action
are well within the Great idea “BSNL First” by CMD BSNL and only
required special and holistic review of this transfer order.
After elaborate discussions on the most
burning issue of mass Transfers, important agenda items were discussed one by
one.
We conveyed thanks to Director HR for
directions to SR Cell for circulating important points and issue based
discussions on these points with all vertical heads. We conveyed thanks to all
vertical heads for their support and giving conclusive shape to many issues during
these discussions.
This is a partial report and further detailed
report on point wise discussions and decisions thereof on each priority HR issues
will follow as Part II.
Continued tomorrow.…………

Hushssss!!!! Finally the Management delivered its special dish “Khichdi” cooked with full month preparations of
HR Month: After extensive, day and night deliberations and analysis of entire
data available in BSNL offices and updated in ERP, finally the long awaited
transfer and posting order is issued now, thereby creating mixed feelings among
the executives about approach of management in dealing with simple issues in
such a complex manner.
The Long
awaited HR month output has been delivered by the BSNL Management as on the
name of Special and Delicious Dish “Khichdi” initially by making a wait
of six months followed by a special one month wait of April 2025 as HR Month.
It is
surprising that on the same day two different orders with the same order number are
issued and in one order the posted Circle of some executives is shown
different and in another order, posted Circle is shown different and which is a
serious breach of trust as now executives are under confusion which order is to
be followed. First Order <<<>>> Second Order <<<>>>
We have
tried to confirm which order is the final order, but the concerned officers
have not yet confirmed, as the fact is that the officers issuing orders may not
be aware about it.
Everyone in BSNL is surprised, astonished
and in deep shock to see such Khichdi Transfer Order issued by the BSNL Management
and some have still not come out of this shock for the last two days as nobody
in BSNL is able to clarify what is the basis of issuing these transfer orders.
It is
crystal clear that this ‘Khichdi’ is cooked by someone, who is either
not aware about the needs of BSNL or who has the intention to spoil the life of
executives in BSNL by giving such sweet poison.
This is the
best example of how a simple issue when dealt by the more intelligent Officers,
depending on data rather than practical requirements can spoil even simple and
easy dishes like Khichdi.
We
understand that the intention of dealing with issues in a special manner was
good but as an excellent chef who prepares all dishes well but serves it in one
plate by mixing all, thereby making it Khichdi, the same situation is seen in
this Transfer Order.
Most
unfortunate part of this transfer order is that it is issued by keeping aside
the well-defined and existing BSNL transfer policy and time to time guidelines
issued by DoPT and DoT and in a mechanical machinery approach against the good
HR approach followed in BSNL for years together.
We are
astonished to see such a worst order when the BSNL HR unit is headed by the excellent
HR minded Officers in BSNL viz. Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director HR,
who is till now known for his best HR approach towards the executives and Pers
Section issuing this order is headed by Shri Rajeev Kaushik, PGM Pers who
is known for his simplicity, great approach towards executives and who has a deep
understanding of the rules and policy guidelines of BSNL.
By
observing the ongoing activities in BSNL Corporate office we were sensing some
surprising output of extensive study of transfer posting, but we never expected
such an astonishing and puzzled order wherein everyone has to apply brain for
understanding this transfer cum promotion order which was never seen in the
long history of BSNL or DoT.
First
time, we have seen the limited role of Officers working in Pers Section, SEA Section,
BW Section, EW Section, Arch Section, TF Section in consolidating the data and
supplying information as and when called by BSNL Management and many of them
are not aware how such order is being issued as surprisingly some of these
officers are also transferred at places where they have not opted or are not at
all willing.
It was quite
possible for issuing separate transfer posting orders in routine manner viz.
AGM LICE Posting Order, Tenure Transfer Order, OTP Request Transfer Order,
Transfer order to meet shortage but due to instructions of CMD BSNL to issue
all the Transfer posting order together in single order, instead of feeling
good, it has become mixed feelings and even the promoted AGMs and others who
got posting to their choice Circle are also not able to share their happiness.
Out of
total 740 Officers included in this transfer order, 205 are LICE Promoted AGMs,
191 are old transfer orders to be implemented, 153 are transfers issued under
head long stay even though many of them are not in long stay list and 191 are
OTP Request Transfers.
If we
critically analyse, then we find that Total 205 AGM Promotions
considered, 15 are retained in the same Circle, and five requests for posting
on promotions are considered and 185 including Proforma promotions are
transferred out of Circles.
Total
191 SDEs/AGMs who were transferred under long stay during the last two years
and who were to be relieved by 31/03/2025 and now these executives are being
relieved adding their names in this order, making this order as bulk order.
Mass
unrest is created by mixing all types of orders and making it a slow poisoning
sweet dish which cannot be digested even by the executives who are waiting for
their Sweet Dish of AGM LICE promotions and OTP Request Transfers when all
these executives were waiting for the orders for a long time.
First
time in History of BSNL the mixed Khichdi order is issued by including the SDE
to DGM level Officers, including officers from different wings in single order.
The worst
combination never seen before in BSNL and now followed in this order is that
Promotion Order is mixed with Transfer posting order totally devaluating the
prestige of any Promotion that to be after appearing LICE with deep study on
highly challenging syllabus for one year and prolonged wait of more than year
to clear avoidable court case and such strange approach of BSNL Management has
created mass unrest among the executive who are waiting for justice at least
under HR Month declared by Head of BSNL.
BSNL has
a well defined and binding guidelines to deal with the Transfers from tenure
stations wherein on completion of tenure rather before completion of tenure,
the transfer order of executives serving at all India Hard Tenure stations is
issued. But unfortunately, it is seen that the executives from tenure stations
are also transferred on pick and choose basis and this never happened in BSNL,
rather earlier we have seen BSNL Management working very proactively to issue
Transfer orders before three months and issuing binding directions to
controlling officers to relieve tenure completed executives within fixed period
of 15 days, but here tenure transfer orders were not issued for last six months
and when Transfer order is issued after such prolonged wait, names of many executives
who have completed All India Tenure are dropped and are deprived from Transfer.
BSNL has
a well established policy for consideration of OTP Request under which earlier
requests were considered on a quarterly basis and then modified as six monthly
by issuing an official modification in guidelines. But this time nothing is
modified in the existing OTP guidelines but this order is named as annual order
meaning this is a single order being issued annually.
Many executives
who are waiting for consideration of their OTP Request Transfer Orders which are
not issued since January 2024 as orders finalised for June 2024 OTP requests
were kept on hold by CMD BSNL stating that it will have negative impact on
targets and growth of BSNL. Even the implementation of earlier transfer finalised
in Month of Dec 2024 was kept on hold by CMD BSNL and it was firmly assured to
us that all these pending OTP requests of two OTP windows i.e. July 2024 and
January 2025 will be issued on 1st April 2025.
When all
were expecting Transfer orders in HR Month, forget on first April, the order
was not issued even on 1st May and association leaders are being
trolled as treating it as April fool Month in place of HR Month assurance by BSNL
Management.
Nobody
was aware about the actual posting to Circles and even though we had a meeting
with PGM Pers and Director HR at 1900 Hrs of 02/05/2025, it was only assured
that the transfer order will be issued today and nothing was shared with
criteria followed in it.
We also
have not asked much details as all our requests, concern and suggestions were
principally agreed by PGM Pers and Director HR as due to prolonged delay with no
desired output in HR Month, we were also under pressure from the executives
waiting for AGM Promotions and OTP Requests which reached to thinking level that
whatever may be order but let it be issued without further delay.
We are
also astonished to see the following issues in this so called mass transfer
posting order.
1. The posting Circle of many executives under last two years long
stay transfer orders and who were not relieved on administrative grounds is
changed and are now transferred by changing their Circle without any request to
different Circles, which they never opted for.
2. OTP transfers from BSNL Corporate office are given consideration
even to excess Circles and names of executives who have not completed two years
are also considered in OTP request transfers and we fully appreciate such HR
approach of the Management.
3. But the same principle is not followed for other Circles including
Tenure Circles OTP transfer orders and it has created mass unrest among the
executives.
4. The intention of Management is good as it aims to fill vacant posts
of executives in West Bengal, Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Gujarat
Circles and we also support this. But the management has forgotten that
shortage in these Circles is due to mass long stay transfers issued in the last
three years from these Circles.
5. Also it is quite possible to fill up all these vacant posts from
the executives who have submitted their own cost OTP requests and are eagerly waiting
for their Transfer order.
6. As a classic example it may be seen that in this order total 68
Executives are posted to Kerala Circle, but more than this OTP Requests are
pending for Kerala Circle. If all such OTP requests at own cost are considered,
then a huge amount being wasted on transfer posting can be saved.
7. But unfortunately, the own cost OTP requests which are pending in
hundreds of numbers for these Circles are not given consideration and the
executives from other Circles are transferred to these Circles on pick and
choose basis as no criteria is followed in transferring executives on long stay
basis.
8. From the pattern of transfers issued it seems that the executives who
are served any charge sheet till today are transferred under this pick and
choose Inter Circle transfers and they are directly punished without and before
completion of investigation and defined inquiries to establish the charges
against them and when some of them are free from the charges.
9. In a merciless approach, the executives from all India Hard tenure
stations are transferred to stations which are faraway places and this is
against the DoPT/DoT guidelines for executives serving in all India Hard Tenure
stations.
10. As per
BSNL transfer policy, options are to be called before issuing any inter Circle
interest of Service transfers, by listing the executive due for such transfers
to meet shortage, but same is not followed here and all of sudden the transfer
orders are issued in hazardous manner as per wish and will of person who has
decided the place of posting on transfer.
11. While
relieving of the Executives transferred in last year, the pick and choose
approach continues as names of many executives who are under transfer but not
yet relieved are missing from this order and confusion continues on their
relieving or retention as nothing has been mentioned in this order.
12.There
are many executives who have already been transferred and joined at a new place
of posting and now in this order they are again transferred for a second time.
Someone who has joined in one Circle as per earlier order is shown transferred
to another Circles.
13. First
time in the orders is mentioned that all promoted AGMs are to be posted at SDCA
level wherein no post of AGM is justified as per the Restructuring norms.
14. In restructuring
norms, even JTO post is not justified for hundreds of SDCAs and merely one post
of AGM exists in hundreds of OAs, then how these AGMs can be posted at SDCA
level is a matter of concern.
15. This
happens when BSNL has issued orders for posting of MTs as OA Head, here in a
contradicting order, AGMs are being posted as SDCA in charge wherein at some
places even full-fledged JE also is not posted as on today.
16. This is devaluation
of AGM Posts and we feel the same is being done either with deliberate
intention or may be due to lack of knowledge/ information about actual and
practical working of BSNL by the officer who has taken the decision to post
AGMs at SDCA level.
17. If
Management really want to post AGMs at SDCA level then we most welcome this
decision but it should be done after making required changes in Restructuring
Norms by creating AGM posts at SDCA level, wherein about 3000 SDCA are existing
in India and these 3000 AGM post will cover all SDEs eligible for AGM
promotions including SDEs in list 13.
18. If BSNL
creates minimum two SDE/JTO posts under these AGMs at SDCA level, all the JTOs
eligible for SDE promotions and all JEs eligible for JTO promotions will be
getting their due promotions and it will be win-win situation for BSNL
management as well as to the executives and JEs waiting for their due
promotions.
19. We find a
pick and choose approach in the transfer posting order as no uniformity is seen
in the pattern of Transfers being proposed in this order.
20. The
criteria of posting to a nearby circle, which is well defined in written policy
of BSNL, is not followed and executives are posted at faraway places.
21. First
Time in the history of BSNL, Executives from J &K Circle, HP Circle which
is at north side of India are posted at extreme south corner of India i.e.
Kerala Circle.
22. In a most
pick and choose approach which is clearly visible, some of executives
transferred under long stay transfers from BSNL Corporate Office are
specifically posted to NCR area of HR Circle which is nothing but
posting in Delhi, then what is the use of namesake long stay transfers for
specific executives.
23. It is
understood that these officers have joined BSNL CO from the NCR area and never
worked out of the Delhi NCR area. It is important to note that there are other
officers in BSNL CO who are excellent hands for earning Crores of revenue for BSNL,
but they are posted out of the NCR area and posted to the far away Circles.
24.Further
excellent officers from BSNL CO on AGM promotions posted in nearby Circles, but
not relieved on administrative grounds are now posted to the far away Circles
and these specific long stayed officers are posted to NCR area.
25.When
many officers are posted from one corner of India, and excellent officers in
BSNL CO are posted to different Circles, why these specific officers are posted
within Delhi NCR area is under question. This exposes some out of office
dealing in giving posting to specific officers.
26.There
are other Circles like J&K Circle, where acute shortage of executives is
seen for a long time and tenure competed executives are not relieved for want of
a substitute, and are not given consideration for meeting shortage.
Surprisingly there is a waiting list of officers for J&K and other tenure
Circles, but instead of posting additional executives, some executives from
these All India Hard Tenure Circle are transferred to Non-Tenure Circle.
27.This
action creates doubts on real intention of Management to meet shortage at
different Circles as many executives from Northern and North Eastern Circles
presently posted to extreme South Circles could have been posted to these
Circles and hardship to these executives would have been avoided.
28. Further,
even though it has been always propagated by the management to exclude the best
performing executives from long stay Inter/Intra Circle transfers and same was
part of Transfer posting SOP 2025-26 proposed by PGM Pers, but while issuing
these transfer orders, the said principle is shown dust bin as we see many
excellent officers are transferred under long stay transfers.
29.Further
BSNL Transfer policy has defined that executives with age 56 and above will not
be transferred under Inter Circle Transfers, but here executives who are left
with merely six months period for superannuation retirement are also
transferred.
30. We are
astonished to see threatening language used in this Transfer posting order,
which was never used in BSNL or DoT in earlier days.
31. The
posted Circles of some of non-relieved Executives who were transferred under
OTP requests are modified to different Circle and are being punished for official
mistake of controlling officer for not relieving the said officer as per orders
from BSNL CO.
32. As per
transfer policy, the requests on spouse working grounds are to be given
consideration but the same is not given consideration in many cases, rather
orders are issued for separating husband and wife.
33.The
executives with age 56 and above years are immune from transfers and request
transfer of executives who are completing 58 years of age as on 31st
March of that financial year is be given consideration but the same also not
given consideration.
34. Many of
the executives were retained under well-defined transfer policy with great
Human approach towards requests on critical illness medical ground, but the same
also not followed and executives who were given consideration on these grounds
are also relieved mercilessly.
35. OBs of
the Recognised Associations are eligible for immunity but no consideration is
given to this facility. But in dictatorship, the executives who have been
retained by granting immunity till Sep 2026 i.e. recognition period as per
third MV, are being relieved in this transfer order within 15 days period.
36. Though
all these genuine issues represented by the affected individuals are pending at
BSNL CO without desired action well within guidelines of BSNL transfer policy
for want of justice, it is directed CGMs that they should be relieved even
though they have represented on genuine grounds well with policy guidelines and
even when these cases are recommended by BA/Circle Heads with authentic
verification.
37. Earlier
also, such transfers were issued, but there was some uniformity in the transfer
orders with due respect to transfer policy guidelines, but this time even this
minimum level HR approach respecting transfer policy is missing.
38.We all
are aware of what happened to those officers who played with lives of the
Executives and their family members by issuing unwanted long stay transfers, unfortunately
no lesson has been taken from all these happenings on such harassment transfers
in BSNL.
39.In
special case under clause 9 it was written that Management reserved rights to
modify posted Circle as per administrative requirement making it clear that
these transfer orders are not as per administrative requirement and issued as
per wish and will of certain officers. By understanding it, now the said clause
has been withdrawn by issuing a separate corrigendum. Copy <<<>>>
40. As per
prevailing guidelines, the joining time to join the posted place on any
promotion is 40 days, but in the stage approach, only 15 days’ time is given
when each and every executive promotion is transferred and posted to a new Circle.
Out of that 15 days three days have gone as orders are issued on Friday late
night at 2100 Hrs, then Saturday and Sunday Holiday for Corporate office and
merely 11 days are practically available excluding coming Second Saturday and
Sunday for submission of representations and its consideration by the Pers
section of BSNL CO.
41. Executives
are surprised, when the Pers section does not get time to consider the
representations submitted during last one year and duly recommended by Circle
Heads, how it is possible to represent new cases and its consideration within
Ten days in hand.
42. Under clause 11, it has been instructed that
within 15 days all the intra Circle and Inter Circle Transfers are to be implemented,
which means the working of BSNL at about 2000 Executive positions will be badly
affected within the 15 days period and it will have a direct impact on growth
of BSNL.
43. Under
clause 13 it is directed for strict adherence to past posting and officers are
not to be allowed to continue at the same place/same post/same vertical. But
same guidelines are not followed at BSNL Corporate office as many officers are
continued for the same section throughout their life.
44.As per
new guidelines under clause 14, the working strength among Circle and BAs and
BA/OA HQs is to be maintained at 10% ratio, which is next to impossible due to
diverse and scattered working of BSNL across India.
45. In the last
week itself, DGM WL/Sports has issued orders for suspending Sports and cultural
activities, where in years expenditure is in few lakhs.
46. When
management is worried about saving a few lakhs of rupees, then there is no
justification for issuing such mass transfer orders of about 600 Officers @ of
minimum one and half lakh per head making it total expenditure of Nine Crores
which is a good amount and the same can be saved.
47. CMD BSNL
has always proposed reducing the number of court cases and huge expenditure
thereof, but such orders issued in violation of BSNL Transfer policy guidelines
and against well-defined principles, will call for more court cases which will
again waste a good amount of hard earned money of BSNL.
48. It was
quite possible to fill up the vacancies in a practical manner with no cost to
BSNL, but the same is totally missing in this order.
Though
there are many negative and adverse actions seen in this order, we also find
certain good actions in this order, which are as follows.
1. To keep on hold the implementation of Orders in case of executives
who are representing for consideration of retention, cancellation modification
on genuine grounds till their representation is given due consideration by
Corporate Office.
2. The AGM LICE promotion orders which were expected in first of March
2025 and were not issued even in special HR month after repeated assurances by
CMD BSNL, even it was discussed to cancel AGM LICE promotions, now the same has
been materialised and now Promotion orders are issued separately with mixed
posting orders Posting and it is good that finally AGM LICE promotions are made
effective. Copy <<<>>>
3. Tenure transfers which are issued on quarterly basis were not
issued for the last five months and finally issued giving partial relief to the
tenure completed executives.
4. As OTP transfers were not issued after the January 2024 window, there
was uncertainty on consideration of OTP Requests and the same has been cleared
as partial OTP requests including that of two years completed and in some cases
consideration is given subject to two years completion.
5. This partial order is a ray of hope for others whose requests are
not given consideration and all should hope for their request transfers.
6. It is good to see that the directions are issued to Circle Heads
for not issuing intra Circle transfers on completion of 20 years and now such
officers are given the opportunity to opt for Choice deficit Circles in the next
OTP window.
7. It is assured under clause 21 that chronic medical cases and
exemption on medical grounds with proper entry in ERP will be given due
consideration as per prevailing guidelines and all such requests are to be
forwarded by Circles to Director HR with due recommendations and ERP Entry.
8. It is mentioned that GM and above level transfers will be done by
the Corporate office which are practically done by DoT
9. The circles are empowered to decide posting on sensitive and
non-sensitive posts and there will not be any interference from BSNL CO.
As such there are mixed responses on this Khichdi Order, but
overall more negativity is spread with such highly intellectual orders with lack
of the practical approach as per the requirement of BSNL and this needs to be
cleared by corrective action.
In view of unrest among the executives, one emergent online meeting
of SNEA CHQ OBs and Circle Secretaries was held yesterday i.e. Sunday, 04/05/2025
and all these issues are discussed in depth. After elaborate day long
discussions, it was finally decided to take up matter with BSNL Management for
required corrections in this Transfer posting Orders to give consideration to
the following points.
1. Posting of LICE Promoted in AGMs to the same Circle wherever
vacancies are available and to nearby Circles having AGM vacancies with option
to individual as per fresh request /representation by individuals.
2. To restore joining time on AGM Promotions to 40 days instead of
present 15 days.
3. To review restructuring norms for posting AGM level officers at
SDCA level as proposed in this order and create about 3000 new posts of AGMs,
4000 New Posts of SDEs and 4000 Posts of JEs so that the directions in this
letter are truly implemented.
4.To continue to issue all OTP Requests Transfer Orders from Non
-tenure stations on six monthly basis and from all India tenure stations on
Quarterly basis as per the existing guidelines.
5. To issue Transfer Orders of all Tenure Completed Executives as well
as of the Executives who will be completing their tenure at All India Hard Tenure
stations in coming six months.
6. To publish the vacancy position of all by excluding long stay and
AGM Promotion Transfers in this order.
7. To give priority consideration to all incoming Requests to West
Bengal, Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat and other Circles like J&K
Circle facing acute shortage including requests before competition of two
years tenure so that artificial shortage created due to avoidable long stay
transfers during last three years is restored.
8. The vacancies remaining after consideration of all OTP Requests,
the remaining 50% vacancies may be filled by calling options from other willing
or long stayed executives from Circles having excess strength in that cadre. Remaining
shortage of 50% if not filled through OTP or by Long stay transfers from excess
Circles may be filled by next year or from promotional posts by giving due
consideration to pending promotion ns.
9. For consideration of all pending OTP Requests on completion of two
years from all Non-tenure Circles.
10. For due consideration to Transfer policy guidelines while issuing
the Transfer orders, which is missing in this order.
11. Not to punish executives by issuing Inter Circle transfers just
because they are and were issued a charge sheet as this will totally demotivate
executives and no one will dare to work fearlessly which is needed for
achieving high targets of BSNL and one will continue his approach in saving self
before any interest of BSNL.
12. Not to punish executives by issuing Inter Circle transfers just
because they are applicants in some court cases.
By understanding the unrest among the executives due to this Khichdi
Transfer orders and serious issues against Transfer policy guidelines and
non-adherence to guidelines issued by DoPT/DoT. GS SNEA has immediately taken
up matter with CMD BSNL which was surprised to note such serious issues in this
transfer order.
We are glad to inform that Respected CMD BSNL was kind enough
to convey that his office is considerate and all the issues will be given due
consideration but all will be done on mission “BSNL
First”
As per discussions and persuasion with BSNL Management by SNEA as
Recognised Majority Association of BSNL, we are hopeful for resolution of all
such genuine requests well within Transfer policy guidelines by BSNL management.
In the past also, SNEA has successfully resolved such manmade issues by
dialogue and discussions with the Management and this time also we are
confident for the same.
On basis of our discussions and persuasion with BSNL management and
response thereof, we are hopeful for consideration of all genuine grievances
and issues created due to this ‘Historical Khichdi Transfer Order’ and let us
be happy with the fact that AGM LICE promotions are issued after long wait,
Process of consideration of OTP Requests which was kept on hold for last one
and half year has restored and the fresh representation of affected executives
will be given consideration with “BSNL First” Policy as directed by CMD
BSNL.
In this mixed feelings, we congratulate
all the SDEs promoted as AGMs and also to executives who have got OTP Request
transfer as opted by them, and firmly assures all the affected executives
in BSNL in general and members in particular for pursuing for consideration of
all genuine requests and only required is that one has to submit their
representation through proper channel giving all the genuine reasons and
supporting documents in support so that requests is given due consideration.
If required, the copy of this representation may be shared by email
to the concerned DS/CS SNEA, so that genuine requests are pursued by SNEA for
kind and sympathetic consideration by BSNL Management.
Always hope for the best !!!.

Meeting
with Shri Sudhakar Rao Papa, Director EB BSNL Board: Shri Rajesh Manchan, VP SNEA
CHQ and Shri. M. S. Adasul, GS SNEA CHQ had a meeting on 24/04/2025 with
Shri. Sudhakar Rao Papa, Director EB BSNL Board in his chamber.
At the
outset we appreciated the efforts of Director EB in enhancing the Enterprise
business of BSNL with special efforts for strengthening the Transmission
network.
In
response Director EB responded that all possible efforts are being made from
BSNL management to meet the requirements by field units across India.
We have mainly
discussed the frequent backbone failures observed in different Circles and
other issues related to the need of immediate strengthening of the BSNL
OFC/Backbone Network by resolving issues thereof.
Director
EB informed that till now all the proposals received from BAs and OAs for any
requirement of strengthening OFC Routes with proposal for ring arrangements,
hiring fibres are approved and conveyed to the concerned field units.
We appreciated
the efforts by BSNL management but added that there is some improvement in some
Circles and stability is seen. But in spite of such sincere efforts the stability
in some Circles is not seen. In the recent past there have been regular
failures in BSNL network in prominent circles and there is a lot of anguish
among BSNL Customers due to these frequent failures of particular Backbone
routes.
We specifically
narrated that even after instant approval of CMD BSNL for hiring fibre from Private
Operators for Kolkata to Chennai, the main backbone route of BSNL, the same has not be materialised for last
three months and situation in North East Region has reached to critical
condition which has directly affected the business of BSNL.
Director
EB responded that as per request from Kolkata Circles, approval was conveyed
and tenders also floated for hiring fibres, but the same could not be materialised
and there are lack of special and result oriented efforts. Hence it is decided
that the tendering work will be assigned to CGM CNTx South and immediate action
will be taken for early hiring and stability of the network.
We
pointed out that the existing Chennai –Kolkata Route is disturbed only due to
frequent failures in AP Circle and delay in restoration of such failure. We
requested for some special efforts for avoiding failures, having alternate/ring
routes for this frequent fault zone area. Director EB agreed to our say and
conveyed that there are frequent failures between Kadappa and Kurnool and there are issues as
this route is affecting North East area and not to the local network of AP Circle.
He assured to direct CNTx-S and AP Circle team to take care of this particular portion
by ring route and immediate action to restore the faults.
We also
narrated about the frequent failures between Pune Mumbai, Ahmedabad-Mumbai, Nagpur-Mumbai,
Bhopal -Mumbai, Guwahati to Kolkata and shared that all the rings in these
network are disconnected at time causing the worst situation and requested for
some concrete steps from BSNL Management for meeting such critical challenges for
growth and development of BSNL.
We urged
the Director EB to have some specific focus on the issues faced by Assam, NE
Circles, WB, GJ and MH Circles. We also added that the affected services in
these Circles are affecting Telecom services in other Circles also.
Director
EB informed that all the requests from Assam Circle are already given
consideration and Assam Circle also has acted and hired Fibre as proposed by
them and there should not be any issue henceforth except stability of Kolkata-Chennai
Link. He agreed that there are issues between Nagpur-Mumbai, Pune-Mumbai and
due to this the routes like Mumbai-Ahmedabad, Mumbai -Bhopal etc are affected.
He conveyed that the proposal for hiring of Fibre between P Nagpur-Mumbai and Pune-Mumbai
has been approved long back and required action is awaited from Maharashtra
Circle to hire the fibre by completing tendering process which is under active
consideration. He added that except these three routes viz. Kolkata- Chennai,
Pune-Mumbai and Nagpur-Mumbai, all other proposals for hiring by BAs/Circles
are approved and fibre also made available and if action is taken for these
routes, there will be expected stability on these routes also.
We added
that there is congestion in OFC routes of many BAs and Circles and there is a need
of a concrete plan for enhancement of bandwidth of all OAs and BAs.
Director
EB informed that whatever proposals are received from BAs or Circles all are
approved and no single proposal is pending with the Corporate office. He further and firmly assured that any
proposal from BAs or Circle for strengthening route enhancement of bandwidth or
new alter route or immediate hiring of bandwidth/fibre etc will be given
consideration at the earliest and only condition is that after this there
should be enhancement in the revenue for BSNL. If there is no chance of revenue increase,
then there is no wisdom in investing money of the BSNL.
He added
that wherever the demand is raised for BNG the sanction has been given up to
date and no case is pending at BSNLCO and wherever problems are creeping, BSNL Corporate
Office is equipped for its quick solution.
We also
narrated that there is lack of co-ordination with different units/offices and
the delay in restoration needs to be reduced with proper and timely
co-ordination of Transmission teams from Transmission and Territorial Circles up
to OA level. .He assured all possible efforts are being taken from BSNL CO to
monitor stability of the network and required co-ordination and he has sent a loud
and clear message in a recent online meeting of Circle Heads.
In conclusion
of meeting Director EB conveyed that BSNL management is ready to look into all
possible proposals for strengthening of Backbone/network and enhancement of
bandwidth to meet practical requirements and it’s now up to BA/Circle/Units
heads to have analysis of requirement of their network and send proposals with
full justification and proposed revenue thereof.
We
conveyed thanks to Director EB for sharing very important information on action
being taken by BSNL strengthening BSNL Transmission Network and enhancement of
bandwidth and assured to share pending issues pending on part of the field
units as per feedback from our CS/DS concerned.

The rate
of depreciation of the Laptop shall be kept 25% per year (pro-rata basis), on
straight line method.
There is
confusion among some of the executives about the calculation of depreciation
cost i.e. where depreciation will be calculated on the amount reimbursed by
BSNL or actual cost of Laptop paid by the executive concerned.
In this
regards it is to inform that depreciation will be counted on cost reimbursed
and not at the cost at which Laptop is purchased from Market and executives
will be eligible after completion of four years of the purchased laptop.

Meeting
with Respected Shri. J. P Nadda ji, Honourable Minister and the National
President BJP: The high level delegation consisting Shri. M. S. Adasul, General
Secretary SNEA, Shri. N.D. Ram, General Secretary SEWA, Mrs. Anu
Agarwal, Circle President SNEA BSNL CO and Shri. Balvant Singh, Asst
District Secretary SNEA Manali had the honour of meeting with Respected Shri.
J. P Nadda ji, Honourable Minister of Health & Family Welfare,
Chemicals & Fertilisers and National President of the Bharatiya Janata
Party at his Office at Nirman Bhavan, New Delhi on 07/04/2025.
The
delegation expressed sincere gratitude to Respected Shri Nadda ji and the
Government of India led by Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji for
the unwavering support extended to BSNL through revival packages and by giving
time to time support by assigning different projects all over India.
Honourable
Shri. Nadda ji, acknowledged critical contribution by BSNL to the growth of Indian
Telecom Sector and mainly to the Digital India Mission. He
emphasized that projects like Manufacturing Indigenous Mobile Equipment and
the 4G Saturation Project are flagship initiatives of the
Government and praised the pivotal role played by BSNL in the execution of
these dream projects.
We
submitted that till now the Government of India has given huge revival packages
and it has largely supported BSNL. With such strong support, BSNL is providing
Telecom services in rural areas without looking into loss or profit as this is
the mission of the Government of India. BSNL has been at the forefront in
completing different projects of Government of India for Telecom services in
rural areas, where there is no chance of profit for BSNL. Even with such odd
conditions, with such active support of the Government, the BSNL is moving
towards profit making PSU and it has recorded quarterly net profit after 17
years of long gap. Honourable Minister Shri. J. P. Nadda ji appreciated efforts
by BSNL and expressed pleasure over the turnaround of BSNL.
The
delegation reiterated commitment of BSNL and its executives to the vision and
mission of Government and highlighted efforts being made by BSNL in providing Telecom
and data services across the country, including that to non-profitable rural
areas. We proudly shared that BSNL has recorded a quarterly
net profit after 17 years and conveyed thanks for the continued support
by the Government of India.
However,
the delegation also brought attention to the long-pending issue of Third Pay
Revision for BSNL Executives, which has not been implemented since 2017. We
explained that despite the revival of BSNL to a better extent, the employees
have not received proportional benefits, and all continue to work on pay scales
from 2007 and others on deputation to BSNL are getting benefits of Pay revision.
We submitted that the Department of Public Enterprises had already
recommended the waiver of the affordability clause in 2020, and the proposal
has since been awaiting action from the DoT.
We
submitted that workforce of organisation is important and Government of India
has been kind enough to support this genuine issue as DPE has given guidelines
to get approval of Cabinet for waiver of affordability clause in year 2020 and
since then the proposal is waiting further course of action by DoT, which is
not seen in last four-five years.
We also
narrated the disparity being followed in BSNL in granting benefits of Pay
revision and how this discrimination has caused loss to BSNL and its
executives.
The
delegation highlighted the recommendations for this revision from multiple
stakeholders, including the Third Pay Revision Committee with special
provision for PSUs contributing to Government Projects and missions, the
Parliamentary Committee for bringing parity among the workforce in BSNL, the
Department of Expenditure for waiver of affordability clause, and the BSNL
Management with recommendation of 15% Fitment formula.
Honourable
Shri Nadda ji gave a patient and sympathetic hearing to the delegation’s
concerns and assured them of his full support. He firmly assured to take up the
matter at the appropriate level and also with the Minister of Communications
for expediting early resolution of the Third Pay Revision issue.
In
conclusion, Respected Shri Nadda ji encouraged us to direct BSNL
Executives to put their continued efforts in delivering quality telecom and
data services nationwide and affirmed to follow up on the pay revision matter. We
conveyed sincere thanks and gratitude to the Honourable Minister and National
President Bharatiya Janata Party for giving us valuable time, guidance
thereof and for extending support for settlement of genuine issue of Third Pay Revision.
We
submitted a formal representation cum request to Respected Shri, Nadda ji for
kind intervention for grant of Third Pay Revision for BSNL Executives. Copy<<<>>
Respected
Shri Nadda ji was kind enough to give us time of 15 minutes to discuss the
issues and has personally gone through the submission and as an immediate
action on our request, the same is forwarded to the Respected Minister of
Communications, Government of India. Copy<<<>>
It is
understood that this representation and further follow-up will be undertaken to
seek Cabinet approval for waiver of the affordability clause and ensure
justice for BSNL executives and employees. Hope for the best.
Congratulations !!! :First Outcome of Special HR Month Activities: AGM CIT BSNL CO writes to all
Circle Heads regarding extension of Laptop Reimbursement policy to all the Executives
in the Field units. Copy<<<>>
With pursuation of SNEA, in June 2023, the laptop
reimbursement policy available only to GM and above level officers, was first
extended only to SDE and above Executive at BSNL CO as sample case. Copy<<<>>
It was always assured for its extension to
field units but was not extended giving reason for not updating data of
existing desktop PCs and laptops in the ESS/ERP and it is unfortunate that some
Circles have still not updated this data and the condition of updating this
data has been added in this order also.
The Policy approved for BSNL Corporate Office was
not covering JTOs/JAOs and SNEA has taken stand and pursued continuously that
JTOs/JAOs are the officers working at forefront and more Techno Savvy and they
should be given topmost priority for efficient office working and it was always
quoted that there is huge number of JTOs/JAOs and due to financial condition of
BSNL, the same cannot be extended to JTOS/JAOs. But SNEA has not agreed for
this partial extension of Laptop policy excluding JTOs/JAOs and we have
insisted for extension of Laptop policy to all executives including JTOS/JAOs.
We are happy to see that all
JTOs/JAOs who are backbone of the BSNL including those working at BSNL
Corporate office are now eligible for reimbursement of the amount against purchase
of Laptop.
Apart from exclusion of JTOs/JAOs, there were
many other stringent terms/conditions including the cost of reimbursement of laptops
and SNEA has taken up all such issues continuously pursued for its
consideration. Letter-I
<<<>> Letter -II <<<>>
On the basis of our persuation, one Committee
of Circle Heads with CGMT MH as Chairman of the Committee was constituted to
study the issues and finally the committee submitted its report last month.
Then the proposal was put up to MC Management Committee) and now the same approved
by the MC on 09/04/2024 but order delayed for fortnight due to administrative
procedures thereof.
Though major suggestions given by SNEA are given
consideration and included in the final policy, our suggestion for uniform cost
of Laptop @ Rs. 70000 for all executives regardless of his designation is not
accepted and the cost of reimbursement is kept as per the existing Policy only.
Many executives in the Corporate Office have
purchased laptops in the range of Rs 60000 to 70000 and hence we have demanded
for Rs 70000, but it was said that it is not full reimbursement, but it will be
partial reimbursement and it can be reviewed at later stage on improvement of financial
condition of BSNL.
But it is good that all executives including
JTOs/JAOs regardless of the wing/vertical
in which he/she is working are now eligible for this partial
reimbursement on purchase of Laptop from
Open Market as per his/her choice and office requirements.
Now one has to purchase a laptop and submit the
reimbursement through ERP/ESS with GST compliant Original Purchase Bill/Invoice
and get the cost reimbursed in next salary after submission of claim.
Though it’s not mentioned in this letter, but
as per existing procedure of BSNL, reimbursement is to be done within 60 days
of the Purchase of laptop and claims after 60 days are not accepted in ERP/ESS
and all executives should be prompt enough to submit their claims in given time
of 60 days.
It is important this amount is for a period of
four years and after four years the executive concerned can make the next claim
on purchase of laptop which means the executives are eligible for Reimbursement
of laptop amount after every four years and it will be a continuous process for
all serving Executives.
There are many executives in field units of
BSNL who have a very old and life expired desktop PCs and some even do not have
a desktop PCs and have to share it with other executives/ employees, and now
all these executives are eligible and will get a brand new laptop with fixed
amount reimbursement for four years.
Existing Desktop PCs does
not include the Desktop PCS which are used for Operations of Systems and these
laptops are being issued only routine individuals office works and not for operation
of any official system in the office.
With these new laptops, highly qualified and
experienced executives of BSNL will also be able to compete with executives
from Private sector as certain officers are always making comparisons for the
same.
It is mentioned in this letter that executives
who are already allotted desktop PCs will not be eligible for new Laptop reimbursement
but the same is available on surrender of existing Laptops/Desktop PCs. In such
cases executives have the choice to purchase a laptop and then surrender the
existing Desktop PCs/old laptop to the IT section of their BA/Circle and then
submit the claim and the same will be surely approved.
Even if somebody is issued a desktop PC recently
and the said executive is willing to purchase a laptop for an efficient and
comfortable office working under this policy, he/she can go ahead with it as
the same is being followed in the BSNL Corporate office. It has been also clearly
mentioned at the concluding paragraph of this policy and hence there should not
be any confusion as being created on what’sApp by some individuals/groups.
The same is case with applicability of laptop
policy for executives in non-Telecom wing i.e. Account, Civil,
Electrical/Arch/TF etc and it may be noted that this policy is applicable to
executives in the BSNL in all wings and units.
Further, the individual Executives are at full
liberty to purchase a laptop of any version, any technical combination/
specifications, any type/model and from any of the shop/company or online as
he/she desires.
Depreciation cost is 25% every year and after
four years, the laptop will be owned by the executive concerned and he will be
eligible for purchase a new laptop again on completion of four years.
In existing policy at BSNL CO, it was
mandatory for executives to retain the laptop on transfer/retirement and SNEA
has taken up this issue and now it is optional to either take home laptop at
depreciated cost or surrender it to BSNL. The depreciation cost will be 25% per
year, and definitely it is as per the amount reimbursed by BSNL.
Similarly in GM and above policy purchase of
Laptop or Notebook was allowed and the same was not allowed for Executives and
now Executives in the BSNL including JTOs/JAOs have option to purchase laptop
or notebook as per his/her choice.
The cost of software and AMC are part of this
reimbursement and antivirus/endpoint security software will be provided by
BSNL.
SNEA is pursuing certain schemes with
discounted cost especially for BSNL executives for purchase of laptops and we
are hopeful for some offers at least for a fixed period from chain
shops/companies as it will be bulk purchase of laptops all over India.
There are certain issues, which we have raised
and not given consideration in final policy and we will continue to pursue for
the same and we are hopeful that these issues can be resolved in coming days.
But it is very important that now all Executives in the BSNL are eligible for
purchase of laptop that to be as per his/her choice with fixed partial
reimbursement cost and he/she also has the choice to continue to work on BSNL
provided Desktop/Laptop without any expenditure from his /her pocket.
This is a good start of HR Month activities as
it is the first order issued in HR Month declared by CMD BSNL and something is
always better than nothing and here individuals have a choice to decide.
We are hopeful that this extension of the updated
laptop policy will reduce difficulties faced by the Executives in field units
and now they will not wait for mercy of the higher officers for allotment of Desktop
PCs and are given better choices for his/her office work/s. Naturally, it will also
help all executives to complete their personal works on this laptop also.
SNEA conveys sincere thanks and gratitude to Shri.
A Robert J Ravi, CMD BSNL for considering our genuine requests and giving
opportunity to executives in the BSNL for more Techno Savvy and efficient
office working.
We also convey thanks and gratitude to Shri.
Vivek Banzal, Director CFA BSNL Board and his IT team of BSNL for accepting
our requests for desired changes in existing laptop policy and mainly making
JTOs/JAOs eligible for laptop reimbursement policy.
We specially convey thanks to Dr. Kalyan
Sagar Nippani, Director HR BSNL Board for his firm assurance for extension
of laptop policy in the last formal agenda meeting held with SNEA, the only recognised
Majority Association.
We convey thanks to Shri. Rajeev Sharma,
GM IT BSNL CO and his IT team at BSNL CO for giving consideration to our time
to time pursuation and accepting all possible requests from SNEA.
We also convey thanks to Mrs. Anita Johri,
PGM SR BSNL CO for supporting this genuine demand of BSNL Executives in all
formal agenda meetings.
This is start of HR Month and we are confident
that as assured by CMD BSNL and Director HR BSNL time to time the urgent issues
of AGM LICE Promotions, OTP Request from Tenure as well Non-Tenure stations,
genuine request for change of Circle, retention, cancellation on genuine
grounds will be given consideration by today.
We also have seen very positive response from
the BSNL Management on resolution of issues related to different pending
Promotions and we are hopeful for a certain outcome on all pending promotions
also.
Apart from this, other genuine issues like enhancement
of SAB contribution, enhancement of TA/DA rates, enhancement of Transportation Allowance, Constitution
of Benevolent Fund to
support Family members of deceased employees, Second Saturday Off for all field
units, Implementation of E7 Scale in
place of E6 for BSNL Executives, Approval of Sabbatical leave for
Executives, Enhancement in
Children Education allowance and certain other allowances available to BSNL
Executives, Restoration of Medical reimbursement as per DA/basic of April Month
of current Year , BSNL funded GTI Policy, Online IQ Booking and allotment thereof are pursued by
SNEA and we are getting positive response from Management on consideration of
these issues.
As the majority of the time
of HR Month April 2025 is over, there is feeling among some executives that
issues will not be given consideration, but as per our continuous persuasion
and discussions thereof, we are confident that these issues will be given
consideration shortly. We are hopeful for extension of HR Month for some days/weeks
in the month of May 2025.
Please be assured that we
will get these pending HR issues settled and there is no need for panic just
because of the passing HR Month period. We
have to move ahead with getting whatever possible solutions on pending HR and
financial issues from this BSNL management and we are hopeful for the same.
