Update
on Meeting With Director HR exclusively on consideration of genuine
representations received under Annual Transfer Order and pending OTP Requests: After
return of Director HR from Ten days Leave/Tour, SNEA had a meeting with Dr.
Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director HR on 18/06/2026 at 1915 Hrs wherein we had
elaborate discussions exclusively on consideration of representations received
against Annual transfer Order and consideration of OTP Requests with priority
to Ghar Wapasi Requests of executives who have few days/ months short period
for completion of three years for consideration of OTP Transfers.
Apart from
Director HR, from the management side this meeting was attended by Shri
Rajeev Kumar Kaushik, PGM Pers BSNL CO and from the SNEA side this meeting
was attended by Shri. Satya M. Sasidhar, CWC Member BSNL CO and Shri
M. S. Adasul, GS SNEA. The details of discussions are as follows.
At the
outset, we conveyed thanks for the approval of sabbatical leave and first
phase of Transfer modification orders giving partial consideration to
genuine representations and giving justice to affected executives.
We
specially conveyed thanks for considering SNEA request for exclusion of
female executives from All India/ Inter Circle transfers and keeping
long stay transfers minimum.
Consideration
of Representations against Annual Transfer Order: We
specially narrated that there are some other requests from affected executives which
should have been given consideration as many have similar grievances as that
considered in First Phase of modification transfer orders. Director HR informed
that the representations received in Pers section as on date of the
Modification order were given consideration. Non-considered requests may have been
received but may not have supporting documents or recommendations of Circle and
hence may not be given consideration. He added that management is considerate
on all such genuine representations and will be given consideration if the
representations are duly recommended by Circles along with supporting documents
and genuineness of grievances.
We replied
that there are genuine requests with all supporting documents but we find it
missed may be due to issues in consolidation. We added that by understanding
this lack of documents, we have scrutinised all the representations received
from our District/ Circle Secretaries and we found the majority of
representations have required supporting documents and representations are duly
recommended.
We first
submitted detailed lists of all such grievances against long stay transfer
under different categories and also handed over the print outs of
representations and supporting documents in each case. PHOTO <<<>>

Director
HR appreciated our efforts and hard work in collecting and consolidating the
data with categorisation and sharing it with supporting documents and assured
that all these genuine representations will be given consideration after
scrutiny by the Pers section. We informed that we are having all relevant
documents and assured that if any supporting documents are required by his
office in any of the cases submitted by us, we will definitely supply it as we
are in receipt of all such details, but requested that no request should be
rejected just for want of supporting documents. Director HR firmly assured the
same.
Early
consideration of the representations: We requested for early
consideration of these pending representations as some Circle/BA Heads are
pressing hard for relieving these executives and many of them are already force
relieved and will not be receiving salary this month onwards. Director HR
assured that the Pers Section will act fast and the second phase of Transfer Modification
Order will be issued shortly and may be by next week.
Cancellation
of long stay Transfers of Executives recruited under PwBD Category: We
expressed displeasure over the long stay transfers of executives recruited
under PwBD Category who are granted constitutional immunity from long stay
transfers. PGM Pers informed that due to missing entries or not extracting data
with such categorisation in ERP Data transfer orders of PwBD Category and some
medical ground requests, requests of OBs who were already granted immunity are
part of this transfer order. We responded that we can understand this but at
least the request of executives under PwBD Category should have been cancelled
in first phase modification order and there should not have any need of
representations, but none of these cases is considered. PGM Pers informed that
the Pers section has checked these cases but in some cases there were issues in
ERP entry and the relevant entries are being updated and Circles are given
directions for the same and the Updation work is about to complete. He assured
that all the representations under PwBD Category are under active consideration
and modification orders will be issued along with other modification order.
Undue
delay in relieving of Executives under transfer from and to All India Tenure
stations: We also narrated that executives from Tenure station are not
relieved even after one month of their transfer order and completion of their
tenure long back. We requested to direct Circle Heads for relieving executives
under transfer from and to all India hard tenure stations without further delay
and the Director HR assured to look into it.
Consideration
of requests in Civil wing promotions: We narrated how the recently
promoted SDEs in Civil wing are transferred even though vacancy exists in the
working Circle and many have refused the long awaited promotions due to posting
out of Circle and are ready to accept it in the same Circle. We specifically narrated
issues created in WB and Kolkata TD Circle due mass transfers on promotions and
how CGM WB/KolTD has represented with full justification for retention of
promoted SDEs. We requested for review of all such genuine requests and post
them in the Circles having vacant posts to possible extent. We also submitted
six cases of one to one change of Circle which can be considered. We requested
to consider all such representation by extending time by ten days to join the
modified Circle. PGM Pers assured to look into all such issues and to issue
modified orders shortly.
Consideration
of pending OTP Requests: We narrated that though majority of OTP
requests are given consideration, some genuine OTP requests and this has been
reason for mass unrest among executives who have obeyed long stay transfer
orders in past and are waiting for Ghar Wapasi Own Cost OTP transfers but their
names are missed just for few days/months of short period for completion of
three years. We categorically requested for consideration of Ghar Wapasi
Request of all with sympathetic consideration.
We also narrated
that requests of some Executives who have completed three years at Non Tenure
stations and tenure period of All India Hard Tenure station are not given
consideration and this is a real matter of concern. We narrated that the long
stay transfer orders were issued in the month of May 2023 and naturally
relieving of these executives was delayed due to administrative reasons and depending
on this administrative relieving all these executives have joined the transferred
place in May 2023 to December 2023 and their joining without relieving was not
possible. The executives in all India Hard tenure stations have joined duties
and have either completed due tenure or are likely to consider their tenure in
coming days/months. Hence fixing date as on 31/03/2026 for counting stay at
present Circle is injustice to all such executives and requested for counting
stay by giving minimum three to six months and requested for change this date
from 31/03/2026 to 31/12/2026 as it is annual transfer order and next order
will be issued in next Financial Year. After patience hearing, Director HR
assured to look into it and added that may not be 31/12/2026, but executives
joined with few months of transfer order may be given consideration and exact
date will be decided after analysing pending OTP Requests and their joining
date, but assured that majority of such requests will be given consideration.
Restoration
of earlier transferred Circle of Executives under transfers: We
narrated concern over the modification of Circle in case of Executives who were
retained on different grounds including viz. self-medical grounds, on grounds
of caregiver and Immunity as OBs of association and their already transferred Circles
are changed forcefully for no mistake on their part. We submitted details of
all such cases and requested to restore their earlier transfer so that they can
join the place of posting after completion of immunity and grounds of
transfers. PGM Pers informed that these are old cases not implemented and hence
Circle are changed as per current requirement. We narrated that their transfer orders
were not cancelled only retention is granted. If their transfer orders were
cancelled then we can understand the modification of Circle or posting to new
Circle, but immunity was granted from pending transfer by delayed relieving and
hence change of Circle at this stage is not correct. PGM Pers agreed to our genuine
concern and assured us to look into all these cases.
Posting
of SNEA OBs at BSNL Corporate Office: We have drawn attention of the
Director HR on undue delay in posting of SNEA OBs at BSNL Corporate office. PGM
Pers informed that it is decided not to post any executive in BSNL Corporate
office. We narrated that our request is to bring CHQ Office Bearers to BSNL CO
and for the request of Shri Samir Khare, AGS for change of circle from
earlier posting to NE-I to BSNL CO, the file has been moved and cleared long
back and only posting order is to be issued, which is not issued for long time.
PGM Pers assured us to consider his request and issue transfer order along with
the next modification order.
Consideration
of representations for Own Cost Transfers by change from Company Cost OTP
Requests: We submitted the pending OTP requests earlier applied on Company
cost and not considered in the annual transfer limiting it to only own cost
transfers even after completion of tenure of three years. At least company cost
OTP Requests for circles having shortage should have given consideration at
Company cost, but other unwilling executives are forcefully posted at company
cost. PGM Pers informed that due to financial constraints it is decided to
consider only own cost OTP transfers and not company cost and hence not given
consideration We requested to consider all such requests with revised request
from Company cost to Own Cost and Director HR assured for the same.
Consideration
of Request in one to one or Mutual or chain transfers: We
submitted a sample proposal of some pending OTP requests and Change of Circle which
can be considered without single rupee expenditure to BSNL and also the
executives concerned can easily go to their Home/Choice Circle. Copy<<<>>
We also
added that this is as per the requests received by SNEA but if the Pers section
works in the same line then requests of more executives can be given
consideration in this one to one, mutual and chain transfer concept. Director
HR appreciated the efforts taken by SNEA and directed PGM Pers to look into
this concept and assured to check possibilities of consideration of pending OTP
requests under one to one mutual transfers.
After
elaborate discussions on different issues related to transfer posting and
grievances of the individuals and requested to give sympathetic consideration
to all the genuine representations and give justice to all affected executives.
Director HR firmly assured positive consideration of all the representations
received by the Pers section and submitted by SNEA.
As it was
late evening and much time took in detailed discussions on transfer posting
issues, we requested for another meeting for discussions on other burning HR
issues. Copy<<<>> It is
decided to discuss the urgent HR issues early next week.
In
conclusion, we conveyed thanks to Director HR and PGM Pers for detailed
discussions exclusively on the Transfer related issues and giving sympathetic
and positive consideration to our submission.

Update
on Pay Loss Case at Hon. CAT Ernakulam: The OA 694/2022 filed by SNEA
before Hon. CAT Ernakulam was listed for hearing on 15/06/2026 at Sr No. 54 under
cases listed for Final Hearing. Copy<<>>
However, due
to paucity of time, the matter could not be taken up for hearing and has been
adjourned. The Hon. Tribunal has posted the case for next hearing on
21/08/2026. Copy<<>>
It is pertinent
to note that that hearing in the case filed by SNEA is completed in October
2024 and the case was listed for final hearing on 04/12/2024.
But at the
last moment, MA was filed by Shri Anup Das impleading in this court case with
the similar arguments and since then final judgement is delayed for one or the
other reason and overall delay is of more than one and half year.
It has
been observed that no significant new issues were brought on record through the
MA, while the consequent proceedings have unfortunately resulted in
considerable delay in the final adjudication of this important matter affecting
thousands of JTOs in BSNL.
Let us
hope that at least this stage wisdom prevails among such applicants filing MAs
delaying the justice to affected Executives of BSNL and this case listed for final hearing in October
2024 is reaches logical conclusion without any further delay and it will be decided
by Hon Court in next hearing giving justice to affect JTOs in BSNL. Hope for
the best.
Inter/Intra
Circle Transfers of Executives in Non-Recruiting Circles: Though
OTP requests of the Executives in Telecom Circles were given consideration, the
OTP Requests of executives were not given consideration, even though proposals
were sent by these Circles to BSNL CO for approval.
Earlier, all
such requests were given consideration by CGMs of these Circles and on
compliant of misuse by some executives, the same has been centralised with BSNL
CO, but the same was not given consideration.
SNEA has
taken up this issue and now these Requests
from Non-Recruiting Circles will also be given consideration and AGM Pers has
called information required for consideration of all such pending requests from concerned Circles. Copy<<>>
CS SNEA
concerned are requested to look into it and ensure that the required
information is sent from all Non Recruiting Circles at the earliest.
Hopefully
all these requests will be given consideration in the second phase of
modification orders which are expected shortly and hence early action on part
of these Circles will be highly appreciable.
Opening of ESS
Window for Association Membership Subscription options: DGM SR BSNL CO writes to all Circle Heads
regarding Opening of ESS Window with Option to change authorization for
deduction of Membership Association subscription of Associations/ Unions from
the monthly salary of members. Copy<<<>>
The e-membership subscription window in ERP ESS
portal will open from 0000 Hrs and will be available for all executives from
16/06/2026 to 2359 Hrs 15/07/2026 for submission of option i.e. accepting new
membership, changeover of existing membership from the monthly salary in favor of
association of their choice.
Though it is mentioned in this letter that the facility of review Option (one time) will be available w.e.f. 03/07/2026 to 15/07/2026 in e-membership subscription window in ERP ESS portal, for submission of the modifications/changes, if any, w.r.t. the option submitted by the executives during the period of window available for the option, this option will be available from day one of opening of window i.e. 16/06/2026.
We are hopeful for the early required corrigendum on
this issue from the SR cell, BSNLCO.
This is an online option available in ESS for opting for fresh Membership
by non-members of any association, Changeover of existing membership and to
withdraw or stop the membership of already opted association for all the
executives.
This is one time option during this window period and option once submitted
either opting for fresh Membership by non-members of any association, Change
over existing membership and to withdraw or stop the membership of already
opted association can be modified only once
during this window period.
There is time of one month to analyze the issues and ascertain your option i.e.
from 16/06/2026 to 15/07/2026 and please take decision on your own by critical
analysis of the happenings in BSNL and the need for stronger unity of the
executives.
Further this option once submitted in ESS and finalized in this window will
be closed on 15/07/2026 and the same cannot be modified till the next window
which will be opened after one year i.e. on 16/06/2027. Hence one has
to make a decision by properly understanding issues and making opinion thereof
and then decide on submission of option for membership subscription with
priority to SNEA as done by majority of the executives in BSNL.
As such, all executives will have to make a firm decision and then only
take call on action on this ESS Option for changeover, withdraw the membership
of Association.
No action is required for continuation of existing membership of SNEA. But
we advise all SNEA members to check and confirm their present option is
available for SNEA, if SNEA membership is not visible, the same may be corrected
accordingly.
Please do not make decisions in a hurry as ample time of one month is
available and all executives have only one chance to submit an option for
membership subscription and only one chance to review a given option.
Some executives have informed last time that they have submitted options
under pressure from some individuals, some executives complained that their
both the chances were deliberately exhausted and they were restricted from
opting membership of an association of his/her choice. This is not expected at the
level of such highly qualified executives and one is free to exercise options
as per his/her will, wish and wisdom.
As on today SNEA has membership of more than 13000 Executives which is
highest among all Unions and Associations of BSNL.
Membership of all other associations together is about 11000 members and
about 4000 executives are not members of any association.
We appeal to all executives who are not members of SNEA to join SNEA and
strengthen the Unity Executives and make it strong. Joining of more and more
members to the SNEA family will give way forward to the resolution of Critical
Financial HR issues of BSNL Executives viz. Upgraded Standard pay scales, Implementation
of third PRC, enhancement of SAB Contribution, enhancement of TA/DA Rates and
Restoration of medical bill reimbursement which are at forward stage and the
details will be updated shortly.
We sincerely appeal that if it is not possible to join SNEA for any reason,
please join any other association in BSNL, but please do not continue as
non-members and be part of any of the association. Your joining SNEA Family
will be helpful in resolving the pending HR issues
SNEA CHQ appeals to all non-members of SNEA to come forward and opt for
membership of SNEA and support the sincere
efforts being taken by SNEA as the only Recognized Majority Representative
Association of BSNL Executives in resolution of pending HR issues.
SNEA is working on HR issues by keeping pending HR issues silently, steadily and firmly putting it for consideration at different levels with full justification and supporting documents and till now SNEA has already given fruitful results with its sincere persuasion at all levels viz.
· Approval
of Sabbatical leave for BSNL Executives.

These are the sample cases and there is long list of HR issues successfully pursued by SNEA. The details will be shred shortly.
With submission of all above facts, SNEA CHQ appeals all executives in
BSNL to analyse and understand issues and support successful persuasion of many
HR issues by SNEA and strengthen the devoted & dedicated efforts of SNEA by
joining membership of SNEA and give us strength so that we will be successful
in implementing third PRC for BSNL Executives, approval of upgraded standard

Update on Promotions in Telecom wing by
overcoming issues in two major ongoing Court Cases: At present there are 1000 plus vacant post of
DGM Telecom Regular Promotions, which are not filled after last DGM Adhoc
Promotion in Year 2019, due to court cases filed by Shri. Naresh Thakur at CAT
Chandigarh Shimla Bench and another case by Shri Amarjit Singh at CAT
Chandigarh bench. The details of the court case with its present status are as
follows.
Case I: Amarjit Singh Vs BSNL: The OA 288/2025 was listed for hearing in the CAT Chandigarh
on 26/05/2026. This court case is filed challenging seniority of AGM Telecom
for DGM Promotions based on judgement of HC Chandigarh on fixing seniority of
AOs for CAO Promotions. After preliminary hearings, in the hearing on 25/04/2025,
Hon CAT Chandigarh has stayed Regular/ Adhoc/ Provisional Promotions from AGM
to DGM Telecom. Copy<<<>>
The request by BSNL for vacation of stay and
allowing DGM Telecom Promotions, was not agreed by Hon CAT Chandigarh in the hearing held on 27/04/2026
and Hon CAT continued restraining BSNL for either Regular or Adhoc DGM Telecom Promotions.
Copy<<<>>
In the last hearing on 26/05/2026, applicants
have submitted reply on submission of BSNL for vacation of Stay and now the
case is posted on 02/07/2026 i.e. after summer vacation of the Hon Court.
Meantime, in continuation to discussions with
CMD BSNL, SNEA has discussed this issue with applicant Shri Amarjit Singh, with humble appeal and earnest request to
allow promotions of AGMs who are promoted in Year 2018 which are not under
purview of the seniority dispute raised by him against his AGM promotion in Year
2022.
We have brought to his notice that number
eligible AGMs for DGM Promotions are absolutely senior to him and there is no
direct or indirect impact of the DGM Promotions of AGM seniors to him as many
General Category Executives senior to him are in zone of consideration and he
has not completed four years for DGM Promotions against vacancy Year 2022 or
2023. Shri. Amarjit Singh has responded our appeal positively and assured to
take call after discussions with his team about this appeal. But he was of the
opinion that there are chances that BSNL may promote some AGMs who were junior
to him in JTO Cadre and he is of the opinion that case should be decided by the
Court. SNEA conveys thanks to Shri. Amarjit Singh for his response and
assurance thereof.
In the last week, on Monday BSNL Management has
called applicant Shri Amarjit Singh for understanding his grievances and
clearing the stay on DGM T Promotions. It is understood that there were healthy
discussions between team BSNL headed by Director HR and applicant Shri. Amarjit
Singh and after elaborate discussions applicant has assured for positive
response to the appeal of BSNL management. He assured for all possible support
from his side for early decision in this case. The next hearing in this case is
02/07/2026.
Case II: Naresh Thakur Vs BSNL: The hearing in this court case staying DGM
Regular Promotions but permitting BSNL DGM Adhoc promotions was scheduled on
28/05/2026, but due to change in Holiday hearing could not take place and till
now next date is not announced by CAT Chandigarh.
But in the last hearing held on 23/04/2026,
Hon Court has listed this matter for final hearing without considering any
prayer for adjournment on behalf of either parties. Copy<<<>>
Both the cases are at progressive stage as
BSNL management has filed factual position in both cases making clear that
applicants in both the cases are not directly or indirectly affected by the DGM
Telecom Promotions against vacancy Year 2022 or 2023 and hence has requested
for vacation of stay.
Since last four-five months, we have seen very
sincere efforts from the Management to get clearance from Hon CAT Chandigarh
for going ahead with DGM Telecom promotions.
With all these efforts by the BSNL Management ,
we are hopeful for final outcome on both these cases on DGM Telecom Promotions
either final hearing or at least vacation of stay on DGM Regular as well Adhoc
Promotions.
These DGM Promotions for about 1000 vacant
posts will pave way for about 6800 total Promotions for Telecom wing executives
in BSNL viz.
a.
These DGM
Promotions will create 1300 vacant posts for SDE to AGM Promotions including
existing vacancies,
b.
The AGM
Promotions will further create total about 2000 SDE vacancies for JTO to SDE Telecom
Promotions including existing vacant posts,
c.
The SDE
Promotions will further create about 2500 JTO vacancies for JE to JTO Telecom LICE
Promotions including existing vacant posts.
In some cadres multiple year vacancies are not
filled and hence these figures may change. All these vacancies given above are
approximate & estimated and the actual calculation of vacancies will be done
at the time of initiation and conduction of DPCs for the respective promotions.
Whatever may be the vacancies, promotions for
filling vacant posts in all cadres of telecom wing will be promoted in coming months.
Hope for the best.
