Absurd
Restructuring Proposal by BSNL Management:
PGM Restructuring BSNL CO has issued letter for restructuring of Uttarakhand
Circle as pilot Circle. Copy<<<>>
This letter
seems to be deliberately issued during the membership window so that unrest is
created among the Executives and under frustration of such activities by BSNL management,
some of them quit the membership of Associations and to increase the total
number of non-members of any association.
Management
is in extreme hurry that the proposal is posted on holiday and unfortunately
the same management does not get time for deciding posting of JTOs in
Electrical wing for their SDE Promotions for which DPC has been conducted and
process is completed before one month and every time it is being assured to
issue the Promotion order at the earliest, but not issues for last one month.
The intention
of this proposal is to project in front of DoT and Govt of India that the employees are
not working and hence they need to be punished by posting at remote places and Management
gets a good name in the eyes of the DoT, Honourable MoC & MoSC such an absurd
proposal is submitted and approved.
It is
unfortunate that none of the officers in the Management dealing with this Restructuring
proposal is understanding the practical requirement of BSNL and if
understanding nobody has the guts to speak the truth and hence such attempts of
beating bushes is done by projecting such utter useless proposals.
It is an
unfortunate situation in BSNL that nobody wants to speak reality and practical
requirements as if somebody speaks it, then he/she is either transferred to odd
places or harassed by different actions. Due to this approach, about all senior
officers have taken a stand to shut the mouth and in case if mouth is to be opened
then it is opened only join whatever is said by the higher officer in Chain.
This is the
reason, this absurd situation is witnessed in BSNL wherein proposals without
understanding practical requirements and needs of BSNL & its executives. Only
proposals given by BCG or generated from AI are being projected as
restructuring proposals for revival of BSNL and hence these are lacking practical
use and needs of BSNL.
One side
BSNL management is taking Credit that the revenue of BSNL has touched the
figure of 25000 Crores with base of just 50000 employees and on the other side
it is projected that employees are not working hence such extreme drastic steps
are required for revival of BSNL.
Otherwise
how such a proposal can be designed by the Committee headed by CGM BSNL with
Five PGM Level members, two working in field units and three from Corporate
Office and it is understood that this Committee was constituted secretly.
In BSNL
justification of posts is done on basis of Number of working LL/FTTH lines, Length
of OFC Network, Transmission Network, Mobile Network and Enterprise Business,
but here in a funny approach, the Committee has now justified the posts on basis
of number of Gram Panchayat and Blocks, which has lost relevance due
digital era and when geographical boundaries are vanished making world as one
platform.
Unfortunately,
it seems that the Committee, BSNL management and officers in DoT are either not
aware of this digital world and are taking BSNL and its executives back to the
world of ancient days where Gram Panchayat played an important role in local
markets.
It is
unfortunate that BSNL is given huge business at Biggest Metro Cities i.e. Delhi,
the Capital of India and Mumbai, the Economical Capital of India and here BSNL Management
is not thinking of utilisation of even a single officer/employee of BSNL and
even more than 3000 Executives/Employees of MTNL are forced to sit ideally without
giving proper work and nothing is done in the last two years to improve Telecom
services of BSNL either in Mumbai or Delhi and it is proposed to outsource all
services from procurement to maintenance to the Vendors and BSNL officers and
employees are forced to join at Rural areas that to be at Gram Panchayat level.
Forget
about these two big Metro cities, the other Metro cities, district places will
now be disturbed and now all the executives will be posted at Gram Panchayat
Level and Block level.
The said
committee and BSNL management is so blind that they are unable to differentiate
the needs and requirements among the different Blocks and Different Gram Panchayats
with geographical boundaries, areas covered, local conditions, hilly terrains
and any other factor as per needs and requirements of BSNL.
Its
seems this team is worried only about number of Gram Panchayats and Blocks and
has planned such absurd proposal focusing on Gram Panchayats and Block
forgetting needs of big /metro cities and opportunities of Business and revenue
for BSNL, otherwise such useless, absurd proposal destroying BSNL and its executives
further.
In
recent past, the prominent Circles like Kerala, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Gujarat
Circle also have issued restructuring norms at their level and they have reshuffled
staff as per these restructuring proposals. In contradiction to these orders by
major Circles, the proposal by Restructuring Cell is based on number of Gram
Panchayats and Blocks, this is how BSNL is being driven wrongly.
There
are many orders stating that JTOs will not report to SDEs and this has been accepted
by all in BSNL for last decade but now with u turn to this decision each and
every JTO will have to report SDEs as if the Committee and BSNL management is
not aware of this decision.
It is important
that the Management has falsely made the instructions of PMO vide letter Dated 29/01/2026
under point 10 as base for this justifying proposal and it is projected that
Respected Prime Minister of India desires that JTOs and SDEs needs to be posted
respectively at Gram Panchayat and Block levels. But if we go through the
instructions of PMO in this letter, under point 10, it is directed to take
immediate steps to repatriate all the officers on deputation to BSNL. Copy<<<>>
In the second
part of this point 10 it is mentioned that assessment of all personnel may be
carried out with regards to their suitability for the organisation and efforts
may be made to reduce the staff.
Thus it
is crystal clear that the instructions from the PMO office are different and
BSNL management is projecting it differently and making all out efforts to
destroy the present working of BSNL and disturbing each and every executive of
BSNL by mass transfers to Rural and Remote Areas that to be Gram Panchayat level
where there is no scope for growth of BSNL.
This and
other such decisions like SET recruitment from open Market neglecting internal
talent available in BSNL, Appointment of Contract basis GMs in Finance and
Telecom wing are against guidelines of PSUs and hence cannot be implemented in
PSU as there seems dilemma about which rules are to be applied to BSNL either
rules of PSU or rules of Govt and DoT/BSNL are selectively applying rules of PSU
and Govt as per their needs and not as per the needs of BSNL.
In last
two years, earlier different committees have been constituted which were having
CGMs as members, but these committees have submitted any report and this secret
committee has given report within no time and BSNL management and DoT also has
acted on this without in lightening speed as if they are in hurry to destroy BSNL
and its executives on name of Restructuring
SNEA condemns
this absurd decision of BSNL management for Transferring JTOs en masse at Gram Panchayat
Level and transferring SDEs en masse at Block level and also condemn decision to
scrap well settled and highly accepted OA/BA basic structure in BSNL working with
attempt of further reducing the sanctioned posts which are already reduced drastically
after Mass VRS by neglecting needs of BSNL.
SNEA will
oppose this proposal it till it is withdrawn in the interest of BSNL and Its
executives.

efforts of SNEA in resolution of HR issues of BSNL Executives.
Thereafter Shri. M S. Adasul, General
Secretary delivered a critical guidance speech specifically addressed to the
leadership of BSNL Kolkata and West Bengal SNEA, outlining the national
strategic roadmap and advising on grassroots management before opening up the
floor for the day's primary agenda. In his two-hour address, he touched all
issues about working of Association at all levels, role and responsibilities of
SNEA leaders at different levels, steps taken by SNEA for betterment of the
executives and results thereof. After his address, house adjourned for lunch.
Second Half Proceedings: Grand Open Session & Leadership
Addresses: The
second half of the meeting witnessed a massive, spontaneous gathering of
general members who assembled in overwhelming numbers for this joint Circle
Executive Committee (CEC) session to welcome and hear the policy directions
from the central leadership.
The entire grand ceremony and CEC
proceedings were ably presided over and anchored by Shri. Amit Khan, President,
SNEA West Bengal, who kept the audience engaged with his masterful handling of
the session.
The open house was set in motion with a
fiery, powerful, and highly motivating speech by Shri. Prasoon Ghosh, President,
SNEA Kolkata, which instantly electrified the atmosphere. This was followed by
an excellent, high-energy, and deeply inspiring address delivered by Shri.
Harekrishna Fauzdar, Circle Secretary, SNEA Kolkata, who laid bare the core
challenges of the region. Adding to the momentum, Shri. Somnath Ghosh,
Circle Secretary, SNEA West Bengal, delivered a deeply dedicated, articulate,
and nice speech, reaffirming the circle's absolute commitment to the executive
movement.
Keynote
Report: Intervention by the Joint Secretary East, SNEA: Following the circle leadership, the
floor was taken by the Joint Secretary East, SNEA, Shri. Anup Mukherjee. The
address was delivered with deep organizational passion and piercing logic,
reflecting the core expectations of the general members who had shown massive,
voluntary attendance for CEC Meeting.
In the reporting, the following critical
issues were strongly placed before the house:
Massive Solidarity and Spontaneous
Presence: A warm organizational welcome was
extended to all field units for their overwhelming, spontaneous, and dedicated
participation across both days of the Circle Executive Committee (CEC) proceedings,
highlighting that this massive presence reflects the members' deep interest in
reshaping the future of BSNL.
Pay Loss Issue & Implementation of
E2 Related: The floor was
dominated by the critical Pay Loss issue. The management was strongly interrogated
over the highly anomalous E1+5 scale pay structure. It was forcefully demanded
that standard E2 pay scales must be implemented to protect the financial rights
of JTOs and JAOs recruited post-2007. Furthermore, the long-pending issue of
TTA Pay Loss was brought to the forefront as a matter of immediate priority.
The Struggle for 3rd PRC Implementation:
The delayed implementation of the 3rd
PRC was highlighted as a major source of resentment among the employees.
Management was fiercely questioned over the lack of active intent in
implementing the pay revision, which has severely impacted the morale of the
workforce.
Promotional Stagnation & Structural
Neglect: Grave concerns were expressed regarding
the deliberate delaying of JTO to SDE SCF promotions. The administration was
severely taken to task for keeping premier operational areas like Kolkata
starved of regular DGM, GM, and AGM leadership, alongside crumbling building
maintenance and the lack of basic amenities like drinking water at exchanges.
A clear and definitive roadmap was
requested from the central leadership to permanently resolve this
administrative deadlock and safeguard executive rights through constructive and
strong organizational representation.
Address
by General Secretary: The
session reached its ultimate crescendo when the General Secretary of SNEA, Shri.
M. S. Adasul, addressed the house. Delivered with profound statesman-like
gravity, the speech comprehensively answered the core issues, throwing the
entire hall into waves of thunderous applause and renewed optimism.
Resolute Stand on Pay Loss &
Standard E2 Scale: On
the critical Pay Loss issues that dominated the CEC discussions, the General
Secretary updated house about efforts taken by SNEA and the present status. He
confirmed that the battle for the implementation of the standard pay scale for affected
JTOs and JAOs is being keenly pursued at the highest levels of corporate
management to permanently replace the anomalous E1+5 structure. He also assured
the house that the TTA Pay Loss grievance has been taken up through Court and the
case filed by SNEA is listed for final hearing, but held up due to last minute
MA filed on similar lines, there killing important time of two years and is on
a definitive path to being systematically resolved.
Deep Structural Struggles & Strong
Optimism on HR Agendas: In
the opening phase of his address, the General Secretary firmly established that
the central leadership is locked in a fierce, uncompromising battle with
corporate management regarding promotions for all wings and cadres. He updated
house about status of each pending promotion across the different cadres and
wings. He expressed immense optimism
that relentless pursuance by SNEA will yield results soon as administrative and
legal bottlenecks are being successfully dismantled. Furthermore, he
highlighted his absolute commitment and highly optimistic outlook toward
implementing crucial policy decisions regarding rotational transfers, filling
structural leadership vacuums Executives in different cadres in Kolkata, and
extracting absolute mandates for building repairs and drinking water from the
Circle Office.
Comprehensive Deconstruction and Hopes for
Promotions: Elaborating
extensively on management stagnation, the General Secretary provided a
comprehensive and thorough explanation regarding the delay in DGM promotions.
After mapping out the intricate administrative bottlenecks and
counter-strategies by SNEA before the house, he expressed a very strong and
positive optimism that the DGM promotion issue is on the verge of a swift and
successful resolution.
Actions taken by SNEA in stopping
defunct and defective SET Recruitment: Addressing the deep resentment shared by the
executives, the General Secretary detailed the rigorous and intensive efforts
SNEA is making at the highest administrative levels to paralyze and cancel the
proposed SET Exam. He strongly condemned the attempt of management to force
direct structural recruitments via this channel and gave a rock-solid assurance
to the entire house that SNEA will successfully shut down this process
permanently.
Hope and Confidence on 3rd PRC
Settlement: Addressing the
crucial agenda of the 3rd PRC, the General Secretary expressed strong optimism
about breaking the current deadlock. He assured the members that SNEA is
leaving no stone unturned at the ministerial and corporate board levels to
expedite the pay revision. He requested all employees to maintain deep patience,
maintain absolute discipline, and place their full faith in the central
leadership as they navigate this complex negotiation toward a positive outcome.
System Overhauls & Operational
Relief: A categorical assurance was given that
the blind replication of the Kerala Model would be resisted at all costs. To
address immediate field grievances, deep technical synchronization with ITPC
has already commenced to debug the Sanchar Mitra app and replace defective GeM
hardware, while management is being legally pressured to deploy permanent staff
at CSCs to provide immediate relief to BBMs.
Optimistic Approach toward Local
Holidays & Welfare:
Turning to regional operational concerns, the General Secretary stated that
while a final corporate mandate on the 2nd Saturday holiday and Special CL is
still a matter of ongoing discussion, the leadership is highly optimistic. SNEA
is consistently pursuing local management to iron out these issues and expects
a favorable resolution soon. He also noted that cashless hospital tie-ups
across all BAs and OAs are being monitored on a weekly basis, and the proposal
to lease out BSNL’s vast properties for sustained revenue generation instead of
selling them outright has been forcefully placed before the BSNL Board in New
Delhi with positive traction.
The General Secretary concluded by
expressing his deep gratitude for the spontaneous, massive turnout of members
throughout the two days of this joint Circle Executive Committee (CEC) meeting
in West Bengal and Kolkata Circles.
He remarked that the unified presence is
ultimate strength of SNEA. The address ended with a roaring commitment to
collective success, leaving the entire house electrified and highly confident.
Shri. Amit Khan, CP WB and Shri. Prasoon Ghosh, President,
SNEA Kolkata summarised the proceedings in Open Session, appealed all for strengthening
unity of executives under banner of SNEA and conveyed thanks to all.
Thereafter, Shri. M.S. Adasul, General Secretary,
gave patience hearing to thought process, feedback, suggestions, queries and doubts
by the members present in the house and replied each and every query/doubt to
the satisfaction of house.
The proceedings of the meeting were
nicely anchored by Shri Amit Khan CP WB.
The proceedings of CEC Meeting started

Stay Focused on Results, Not Rhetoric:
AN EARNEST APPEAL TO
ALL BELOVED EXECUTIVES OF BSNL
Dear Esteemed Executives in BSNL,
The membership change over window is open from 16/06/2026 and by
now about 13 days are passed and SNEA conveys sincere thanks and gratitude
to all beloved Executives in BSNL for your continued support to SNEA and
keeping the membership of SNEA at the highest among all Associations in BSNL.
As on today, the Membership of SNEA (12750) is higher than the
combined membership of others (11500) and remaining being non-members of any
association. This great and grand support of esteemed executives in BSNL really remember us about our highest responsibility
to represent the aspirations and
safeguard the interests of BSNL
Executives and delivering continued positive results.
At this important juncture, we earnestly appeal to every executive of
BSNL to assess associations not by social media campaigns, allegations, or
emotional narratives, but by their credibility, achievements, approach,
and ability to deliver tangible results.
SNEA Believes in Positive and Constructive Association
activities: SNEA firmly
believes that every association in BSNL exists for one and common objective
i.e. The welfare and advancement of BSNL Executives.
For this reason, SNEA has consciously avoided engaging in
unnecessary controversy or personal attacks to leaders of any association.
Our energy has always been invested in continuous dialogue with BSNL
Management, DoT, DPE and the Government of India for securing long-pending HR
issues. SNEA has consistently chosen the path of constructive engagement and result-oriented
negotiations.
While every association in BSNL works in the similar approach, only
AIGETOA leadership has chosen the path of non-constructive criticism with
baseless allegations targeting SNEA, the only Recognised Majority Association
in BSNL chosen by you all beloved
executives in BSNL. AIGETOA leadership want to dictate terms and want SNEA to
move as per their wish and will, which is not and cannot be agreed by SNEA.
This is the reason for their frustration and they express it with regular criticism
with fake narratives as if nothing positive is happened in the 3rd
MV Tenure as Recognised Majority Association while factual position is
different and SNEA achievements during this period speaks volumes.
Results by SNEA, Speaks Louder Than Words: It is fact that SNEA has successfully pursued and achieved solutions
for several long-pending HR issues of BSNL Executives. It is important that
many of these issues are long pending and were declared closed /dead by
Management and with silent concurrence of then MA crying foul now. The list of issues
resolved by SNEA in favour of BSNL Executives includes:
1. Laptop Policy
for all Executives, including JTOs and JAOs.
2. Enhancement of
Mobile Handset Reimbursement Amount.

of BSNL management.
51. Persuasion on
NCOA platform for constitution 4th PRC and also for removal of Affordability Clause in 4th
PRC
These are the classic examples of result of focused persuasion of SNEA
and list includes many more achievements of SNEA. These achievements are not just
promises but they are documented outcomes of sustained efforts of SNEA as
Majority association in support of Five Star Alliance and you all have
witnessed it.
Our Present Approach is solution oriented & different from
Traditional Approach: Experience
has shown that confrontation alone cannot resolve complex policy matters
involving BSNL, DoT, DPE and the Government. With this clear understanding, SNEA adopted a strategy
of Continuous dialogue, Well-documented representations, Professional
negotiations, Strategic advocacy and flexibility in approach, need base organizational/agitational actions. This approach has reopened several
HR issues that had earlier been declared closed and has brought many of them to
the threshold of resolution.
Let Facts
Guide Your Decision: During this
membership changeover window and one month before it, many statements, claims and allegations are circulating
on various platforms only by AIGETOA leaders. We respectfully appeal to
every executive to verify facts before believing allegations, Compare
achievements rather than rhetoric, Judge associations by their performance, not
by propaganda, Support those who consistently work for collective welfare. A mature and responsible Executive community deserves informed
decisions based on evidence.
SNEA Accepts Both Credit and Responsibility: As the
Recognised Majority Association with 52% historical votes in support of Five
Star Alliance with SEWA, CBOWA, DEWAB, AIBSNLOA in third Membership
verification, SNEA has never
hesitated to take responsibility. Where we have achieved progress, we
acknowledge it with togetherness and humility and where the issues remain
pending, we continue to pursue them with equal commitment and we also accept
responsibility of pending issues and failures if any. Our responsibility does
not end with raising slogans, it begins with delivering solutions. SNEA has
decided not to respond to this traditional blame game by our young brothers and
leaders of AIGETOA and keep the focus only on continued efforts for resolution
of HR issues of BSNL Executives.
Our
Commitment for the Future: SNEA
remains fully committed to securing, Upgraded Standard Pay Scales for affected
executives in BSNL, Implementation of 3rd PRC without further delay, Promotions across all cadres and wings by
overcoming the hurdles due to court cases, Resolution of all pending
court-related HR issues, Protection of
interests of BSNL Executive. a stronger, professionally respected BSNL
Executive fraternity and every pending HR issue remains on our agenda until it
reaches its logical conclusion. SNEA is Committed to Service, Committed to Results, Committed to Every BSNL
Executive as SNEA focuses on its achievements, maintains a professional and
dignified tone suitable for publication, ends with a strong, positive appeal to
executives and navigating challenges, mistakes, and feedback with an open,
mission-focused mindset, rather than reacting out of ego, fear, or a need to
prove oneself infallible.
A Humble Appeal to Dear Esteemed Executives of beloved BSNL: Your
preference and option to the Membership of Association is not merely a choice between associations
but it is a choice between approaches, its choice for constructive dialogue
over confrontation, support to documented achievements over repeated
allegations, support to responsible leadership over temporary rhetoric, to
choose an association that believes in unity, professionalism and results.
SNEA expresses sincere gratitude for the trust reposed by BSNL
Executives over the years and assures every executive in general and SNEA
member in particular that we shall continue to work with honesty, transparency
and unwavering commitment towards BSNL Executives across all wings and cadres.
We earnestly appeal all members to continue its support and non-members
to opt for SNEA and strengthen the unity of BSNL Executives under banner of
SNEA, the only Recognised Majority Association in BSNL and to continue its sincere and devoted efforts as
unanimous voice of BSNL Executives.
By accepting and continuation membership of SNEA, please strengthen the devoted efforts of SNEA and give us strength so that we will
be successful in getting orders for due promotions across all wings and cadres during this year itself, approval of upgraded standard Pay scales for affected Executives, Enhancement in SAB Contribution for all
BSNL recruited Executives and implementing third PRC

Please join SNEA in mass and
strengthen the Unity of BSNL Executives.

One Step forward for appointment of
Regular CMD BSNL: DoT issued notification for appointment of
CMD BSNL on immediate absorption basis through Search cum selection Committee
and last date for submission of application is 22/07/2026. COPY <<<>>
Vacancy for post of CMD BSNL was created on
15/07/2024 due to on-extension of term of then CMD BSNL Shri P. K. Purwar and
since last two years the charge of CMD BSNL including MTNL, BBNL has been entrusted
to Shri A. Robert J. Ravi as additional Charge and recently it has been
extended till 15/10/2026. COPY <<<>>
Earlier PESB has issued notification for Appointment
of CMD BSNL COPY <<<>> , but none of the applicants including some Directors of present BSNL
Board were found suitable for the post of CMD BSNL.
Hence on 22/07/2025, as per approval of
ACC, DoT has issued directions for appointment of CMD BSNL by constitution of
Search Cum Selection Committee headed by Chairman PSEB COPY <<<>> and this notification is issued after a period of one year.
With this search Cum Selection Committee
also the selection will be done by the Committee out of the applications
received by Secretary DoT till the last date of submission of applications.
With this formal notification by DoT, the chances
of appointment of Regular CMD BSNL are enhanced and BSNL may get regular CMD
BSNL though this special process under Search Cum Selection Committee
constituted as per DoPT Guidelines. COPY <<<>>
Apart from the post of CMD BSNL, PESB has
already issued notification for post of Director CM BSNL COPY <<<>> and Director CFA BSNL COPY <<<>> , but even after completion of six months of receiving nominations by
PESB, but till no interview has been conducted for any of this posts.
It is understood that there is a proposal
for restructuring of the BSNL Board with rearrangement of the portfolios,
responsibilities and designations of Directors and hence there is delay.
Update on consideration of pending OTP
Request and request against Transfer order: SNEA
CHQ has worked out further possibilities of pending transfers without posting
of any substitute for consideration of pending OTP Request and for consideration of pending requests for change
of Circle.
As per updated OTP Requests from majority
of Circle Secretaries, SNEA has prepared revised list of One to One/ Mutual
transfers and possible chain transfers in same cadre and cross cadres.
One to one/Mutual Transfers <<<>>
Chain Transfers <<<>>
One to one/Mutual Transfers Cross
Cadre <<<>>
Chain Transfers Cross Cadre <<<>>
Civil Wing One to one/Mutual Transfers <<<>>
Civil Wing Chain Transfers <<<>>
We found that out of 386 of Telecom wing
requests, we have received under pending
OTP Requests and request against transfer order, more than 200 cases can be settled without
any single rupee expenditure to BSNL and at the same time, the hardship and difficulties
faced by all these executives can be reduced/ resolved with this approach.
Accordingly, yesterday on 24/06/2026, late
evening Shri. M. S. Adasul, GS and Shri Arvind Pal Dahiya, Joint
Secretary Central had short meeting with
Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director HR and Shri. Rajeev Kumar Kaushik,
PGM Pers in chamber of Director HR wherein we have submitted these proposals for one to one/Mutual and Chain Transfers and
requested for consideration of requests.
After going through the proposal, both have
appreciated our efforts and hard work in preparation of this proposal and making it
easy job for Pers section and assured for consideration of requests in this approach.
We once again submitted that this is list
out of request received by SNEA and if this exercise is done by Pers section
with total pending OTP Requests and request for change of Circle, we will get a
greater number of such possibilities.
We have requested for early consideration
of all pending OTP Requests and request for change of Circle, cancellation of
transfers or retention on transfers at the earliest as many of executives
having such genuine issues are relieved by Circles/BAs and they are waiting for
consideration of their genuine request by BSN Corporate office. Director HR
informed that PGM Pers is working on it and assured for order for modification
as per requests received and
consideration of pending OTP requests by next week. Hope for the Best.

AGM
SR BSNL CO issued corrigendum clarifying that the facility of review Option
(one time) in e-membership subscription window in ERP ESS portal, will
be available will be available during entire window period from day one of
opening of window i.e. 16/06/2026 to closure of window on 15/07/2026 and
not limited for limited period from 03/07/2026 to 15/07/2026 as mentioned in
letter dated 01/06/2026. COPY <<<>>
This
issue was raised by SNEA as practically option was
available in ESS window but it was mentioned in letter for limited period and
there were chances that members may exhaust their limited option under
confusion of having second option for the same.
With
this clarification, all confusions are cleared and Executives will be using
this option with due care and diligence and mainly noting that this is one time
option during entire period of membership window and cannot be changed later.
