DPE issued order for enhancement of IDA by 7.5.% for Executives/Non-Executives in PSUs and the same is effective from 01/10/2026. Copy<<<>>

This order was expected by second week of October 2026 and  it was delayed and hence SNEA/NCOA has taken up matter with DPE and requested for issuing this IDA revision order without further delay. We have also requested for issuing the IDA orders at least by second week of the Month in Next Quarter and we are assured for the same.  

As this IDA revision order is issued at the last week of this month and it was feared that it may not be added in the Salary of Month Oct 2026.

But with sincere efforts by the concerned officers and with positive approach by the BSNL management, the same is being added in the Salary of October 2026.  

SNEA appreciates the efforts of these officers and conveys thanks for such urgent step towards passing certain benefits to workforce of BSNL.

Heartiest Congratulations !!!! : In a series of Promotions of BSNL Executives started with CAO Promotions, the next order issued is for promotion of MTs as AGM and all the promoted MTs are posted in the same Circle. Copy<<<>>

SNEA congratulates all the Management Trainees Promoted as Asst General Manager and conveys them best wishes for their grand success in Promotional assignment and bright career progression within BSNL.

This is the next promotion order in a series of promotions of BSNL Executives and many more orders are expected in coming days. SDE to AGM T promotion is also under process and the order for the same is expected shortly.

SNEA has consistently advocated the protection of career progression avenues for internal talent and the creation of a robust management succession framework that recognises the experience, capabilities, and potential of own executives of BSNL.

As usual, the known group working for stopping recruitment MTs for one decade, then in scrapping MTRRs with modification in MSRRs for stopping recruitment of MTs, stopping career progression after AGM Promotions and finally allowing recruitment of only External MTs as SET, was working for stopping this MT to AGM promotion and this was reason for delayed order for last few months.

Now this group was busy in stopping MT to AGM Promotions just for blocking the career progression of Internal MTs recruited against wish and will of this group.

There was also reluctance on part of the certain officers in BSNL Corporate Office and initially it was delayed on the name of confirmation order and thereafter also the process was not moving further. The final intervention from the Honourable Minister of Communications has expedited the process and this MT to AGM promotion order is finally issued giving way forward to internal Talent.

SNEA conveys thanks and gratitude to Shri. A. Robert J. Ravi, CMD BSNL, Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director HR and Shri Rajeev Kumar Kaushik and his team of officers in DPC Pers Section for initiatives and efforts in issuing this Promotion order.

After promotion of BSNL absorbed officers at CGM level, this is the second step towards the mission of Government of India to have Own Management of BSNL.

This is part of initiatives by the PMO and its keen monitoring by the Honourable Minister of Communications for exploring the internal talent of BSNL.

The changes required in MSRR 2023 for restoration of Career progression as per MTRRs with allowing internal talent at higher positions is also being pursued by SNEA and we are hopeful for its consideration.

In coming days, all these MTs now promoted as AGM will be occupying the senior positions in BSNL Management as per initiatives by SNEA before decade to have better career progression of Internal Talent of BSNL similar to that followed in PSUs. Hope for the best.

Heartiest Congratulations !!!! : In an Historical moment, the long awaited AO to CAO Promotion order is finally issued. Copy<<<>>

SNEA Congratulates all the Account Officers Promoted as Chief Account Officers and conveys them best wishes for their grand success in Promotional assignment.

Though it was feared that each and every officer will be transferred out of Circle on CAO Promotions but in a good outcome many are posted in the same Circles and for remaining the options/pending own cost  request transfers are given consideration.

This order was expected in 2022 as all these AOs became eligible for that year Vacancies, but due to avoidable prolonged litigations on the seniority, the matter was dragged in the courts and finally the Honourable Supreme Court has cleared these issues and issued directions for going ahead with promotions.

Now also someone is putting efforts to stay promotions and in a similar attempt one case has been filed in CAT Chandigarh but the stay is not granted.

The chances of staying promotions in other courts are less, as it is being issued as per directions of Honourable Courts and conditionally subject to outcome of the all pending court cases. But by understanding this approach and poor attitude of staying promotions, as precautionary measures the promoted officers are advised to join on promotions as early as possible.

These are SCF quota Adhoc Promotions as per the directives of Court and SNEA will continue its efforts for converting these Adhoc Promotions as Regular CAO Promotions. The LICE Quota Promotions will also follow and some more AOs will be promoted in coming days under SCF as well as LICE quota.

SNEA conveys thanks and gratitude to Shri. A. Robert J. Ravi, CMD BSNL who was behind the CAO promotions and was deeply involved in clearing the hurdles and finally in issuing this order. We also convey him thanks for considering request by SNEA for changing the earlier stand of the management for posting each and every promoted officer in other circles and to post/retain the promoted officers in the same Circle against existing vacancies.   

We also convey thanks with appreciation to Shri. Rajeev Kumar, Director Finance has played a vital role in the entire process of  Promotions and posting on CAO Promotions.

We convey thanks and appreciate sincere and devoted efforts by  Shri. Ramkrishna Nelli who was at the helm of affairs as PGM Legal for clearing the man  made hurdles and clearing stay on CAO promotions  and finally succeeded in clearing all hurdles.     

We convey thanks to Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director HR Shri S K Bhardwaj, PGM EF and his team of SEA Section and Shri Rajeev Kumar Kaushik and his team DPC Pers Section who have devotedly contributed in issuing this historical Promotion order.   

This order will surely reduce the negativity continued for the last few years as this is a ray of hope for pending promotions in all wings and cadres.  

This is the start of Promotions and we are expecting promotions for Executives in all wings and Cadres where no court cases are pending including retrospective date Promotions under PwBD Quota.

The next such Promotion order expected is AGM Telecom Promotions and the process for the same has been already initiated by the DPC Pers section.  

Similar sincere efforts are also being made to overcome the pending court cases for other cadres and next such Promotion Order by overcoming court cases will be that of AGM to DGM Telecom Promotions as these promotions are stayed on the basis of the court case challenging seniority of AOs. Let us hope for the best.
