SNEA CHQ writes to Respected Shri. Jyotiraditya M. Scindia ji, Honourable Minister of Communications and DoNER, Government of India conveying heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for resolving the long pending issues of BSNL Executives/Employees affected by caste certificate complaints and justice thereof. Copy<<<>>

AGM Rstg BSNL CO issued clarification as asked by CGM Uttarakhand on pilot Restructuring Project. Copy<<<>>

This is eyewash by BSNL management as none of the suggestions given by CGM Uttarakhand in consultation with AUAB Uttarakhand or by Unions and Associations at CHQ is given consideration.

In continuation of this order, by forgetting all his suggestions and assurances, in a disrespectful manner, CGM Uttarakhand also has initiated blind action by issuing transfer orders of DGM level officers as first and initial step to implement this pilot project. Copy<<<>>

SNEA condemns these actions by BSNL Management and betrayal on the assurances given by CMD BSNL. As BSNL Management is not able to keep the assurances given during discussions at the highest level of BSNL, it is now crystal clear that BSNL management is not wholeheartedly working for protecting the interest of BSNL at least when the issues are to be taken with DoT. Earlier also we have seen that BSNL Management bows to decisions of DoT damaging the interest of BSNL.

We can understand, bowing down to the decisions in the interest of BSNL or in the interest of both BSNL & DoT/GoI, but when interest of BSNL is at stake, Management is duty bound to react and protest interest of BSNL or at least stand with factual position, which is missing in this case.

Due to such approach only, DoT has collected higher money from BSNL than due in case of Spectrum allotment, Leave encashment of DoT period and Higher basic Pension contribution and so on and hence BSNL is in losses.   

Such silence of BSNL Management on crucial issues creating losses to BSNL has denied third PRC to Executives /Non-Executives for no mistake on their part.

It is time that DoT has to think where BSNL has to work only for Profit thereby granting third PRC with affordability or work as per directions of DoT without looking into loss profit of BSNL by conveying approval of third PRC by keeping aside affordability clause and BSNL Executives and Non-Executives should not be made to financially suffer for such actions of BSNL Management/DoT as being done for last ten years.

The Pilot Restructuring proposal for Uttarakhand Circle is opposed by everyone in BSNL and the concerned officers in BSNL management are not able to clear any doubt but are blindly going ahead with the Pilot Project in Uttarakhand Circle.

None of them are even able to justify the loss and profit with this proposal. But every time it is informed that this is a pilot project and this exercise of loss profit will be done after three months of the Pilot Project.

We have observed that even BSNL Management is not convinced with this proposal as this proposal is drafted by someone outside the BSNL and it is being forcefully implemented in BSNL by taking a formal report signed by the Committee of CGMs.

In an unfortunate and blind action, BSNL Management is going ahead with this absurd proposal which is nothing but addition of more losses to BSNL and this may be one more assault for destroying the entire working of BSNL.

This action of BSNL Management is really disappointing as it is against firm assurance to AUAB with directions to Director HR/PGM Pers to discuss all the issues with this pilot proposal with Unions/Associations and give consideration to maximum possible suggestions and feedback by Associations and Unions in BSNL.

When agitational programme of AUAB Uttarakhand Circle was intensified by extending struggle after three days with support from all Circles, then CMD BSNL discussed issues with AUAB with firm assurance to go ahead only with discussions of all issues with Unions and Associations at CHQ as well as Uttarakhand Circle.

All Unions and Associations from Uttarakhand Circle and from CHQ also have given feedback and suggestions respectively to CGM Uttarakhand and CMD BSNL but with utter betrayal BSNL Management has not given consideration to any of the suggestion and feedback and BSNL management has taken everybody granted.

It is unfortunate that the said words of CMD BSNL are not respected by Director HR and PGM Pers/RSTG even though both were present in the Meeting as till today no discussions held after directions of CMD BSNL on 30/06/2026.

SNEA has brought to the notice of CMD BSNL in its meeting on 01/09/2026, but till today no formal discussions are held with any Union/Association or AUAB and in blind approach BSNL Management is going ahead with implementation of this pilot project. This creates serious doubts on assurances and actions of BSNL Management.

Only good thing is that when SNEA has pointed out in its meeting 01/02/2026, that Management is projecting Uttarakhand as pilot project, but Restructuring is aggressively going ahead in many Circles and already Kerala, Karnataka, Maharashtra, AP, Gujrat etc Circles have issued such Restructuring guidelines on different basis and objected this dual stand of BSNL Management.

In response, on the next day of meeting, Director HR has issued a DO letter to all CGMs advising not to issue any Circle level orders giving effect to a restructuring exercise unless the same is specifically approved/authorised by the Corporate office. Copy<<<>>

Apart from this Management has not adhered to any of its assurances on this burning issue. This makes it crystal clear that the officers dealing with this Restructuring proposal have stopped thinking about the interest of BSNL and have adopted an approach to follow whatever DoT is saying as overall control of BSNL is taken over by DoT. Unfortunately, these officers are not at all worried about the interest, needs and requirements of BSNL, which is their prime responsibility but are worried only about the directions of DoT and hence do not bother about its practical implementation and interest of BSNL.

Otherwise, an officer with spine and having one percent concern about BSNL would not have agreed for such an absurd proposal damaging BSNL and supporting certain officers in DoT and then BBNL, who have spoiled the BharatNet works for personal interests or due to lack of knowledge in successfully handling such big projects.

After enjoying all benefits out of BBNL, with intellectual ideas, these officers have submitted a proposal for merger of BBNL with BSNL thereby transferring liabilities and pending responsibilities of BBNL to BSNL and taking great escape from keen watch by office of Prime Minister of India and finally this blame game will rest with BSNL and its workforce for no mistake on their part.

This has been rightly pointed out by CAG in its report dated 20/07/2026. CAG has raised serious concern on false completion of BharatNet project and given certain directions for proper Maintenance. CAG REPORT <<<>>

Serious issues noticed<<<>>        Recommendations<<<>>

Even after knowing the facts about poor working of BBNL and issues thereof, BSNL Management has accepted the merger of BBNL into BSNL.

Now by neglecting all the recommendations by CAG for proper maintenance of BBNL Network, BSNL Management has not proposed any of these options for maintaining Bharatnet Project and falsely projecting diversion of the entire BSNL workforce from Revenue earning areas to loss making areas.

It is important that BSNL was not the only agency in implementing the BharatNet Project by SPV BBNL, but many other State Government designated entities like Power Grid Corporation were the executing agencies in the BharatNet project. But except BSNL, all have raised hands to take over this failed project and only BSNL with temporary Management is targeted as soft target and all responsibilities and liabilities of BBNL including that of other executing agencies are being transferred to BSNL without proper hand holding and in hazardous manner, and hence this is matter of serious concern for all of us.

Now by neglecting suggestions given by Unions/ Associations, Suggestions given by SNEA {<<<>>} these officers are wrongly projecting that shifting of BSNL workforce from Revenue earning area to loss making area and are targeting Executives/ Non-Executives for left out works of BBNL.

It has been already decided by AUAB that this sided blind move of the management will be opposed strongly and with feedback from AUAB Uttarakhand, the further course of action will be decided in its meeting scheduled on 15/09/2026.

AGM Corp Mktg BSNL CO writes all Circle Heads for conducting special Marketing, customer outreach and social media activities on 26^th BSNL day celebrations. Copy<<<>>

During his long and illustrious tenure in BSNL, Shri Ram Krishna Nelli discharged his responsibilities with utmost professionalism, integrity and commitment. His deep understanding of service matters, legal issues and organisational policies proved immensely valuable in dealing with several important matters concerning BSNL.

Though he was given responsibility of PGM Legal in the recent past, Shri Nelli played an important role in providing legal guidance and strategic inputs on various matters having implications and the service interests of employees and executives. His balanced approach, professional competence and willingness to examine issues objectively helped in safeguarding the interests of BSNL as well as its workforce.

He was particularly appreciated for his constructive approach in dealing with service-related and legal matters concerning BSNL executives. His efforts towards proper examination of cases, timely legal advice and effective representation of the stand of BSNL contributed to protecting the interests of BSNL and facilitating appropriate resolution of several long pending issues.

SNEA acknowledged his accessible and cooperative approach, wherein he patiently heard the concerns of executives and examined matters on their merits. SNEA has been continuously interacting with him by giving valuable feedback from time to time and he has always given consideration to the factual and documented submission by SNEA.

Today, we are hopeful for AO to CAO Promotions at any time, just because the stand of BSNL has been rightly put before the different Courts and with such approach, the Hon. High Court PB has been kind enough to give a go ahead signal for these promotions. Similarly in DGM Telecom promotions, Shri Nelli has represented the side of BSNL and has successfully convinced the court about issuing long awaited DGM Telecom Promotions. This Court case on DGM Telecom Promotions which was going on since 2017 i.e. for the last ten years, has been moved forward and we are hopeful for early clearing of the court cases on DGM Telecom Promotions.

As member of different Committees constituted by BSNL on request of SNEA, Shri Rama Krishna Nelli has always supported the stand of executives with his initiatives. About all committees of which he was a member have given positive recommendations safeguarding interest of BSNL Executives.

On behalf of thousands of SNEA members across the country in general, and on behalf of the Executives of the civil wing, we extend our warmest congratulations and sincere best wishes to Shri Rama Krishna Nelli ji, for a happy, healthy, wealthy, peaceful, prosperous and fulfilling retired life.

After long await one more modification Order issued against OTP/Long stay Transfers: AGM Pers BSNL CO issued modifications in the Transfer orders by giving consideration to the request by individuals on different genuine grounds wherein long stay transfers of Executives recruited in PwBD category, who are Care Giver, OTP withdrawn, issued due to wrong calculation of stay etc. are cancelled, given consideration to only few OTP transfers on self PwBD, All India Hard/Soft Tenure completion, Medical and care giver etc. and one request transfer on SDEE promotion is cancelled.  Copy<<<>>

This is a relief to some of the executives waiting for consideration of their genuine requests submitted in the Month of May 2026 and they have got justice at the end of August 2026.

Apart from this, the request on grounds of Immunity as Office Bearers of SNEA is under consideration and the same also will be decided this week.

It is seen that BSNL Management is cheating itself that they are following the decision of Annual Transfer Order and falsely projecting that all Transfer related issues in BSNL are handled by issuing a single and Annual Transfer order. 

Till there are some requests on the similar grounds as given consideration and SNEA has received complaints that even though they have same or similar grounds their requests are not given consideration.

There is no doubt that this consideration is on a pick and choose basis and some requests on similar grounds of which representations given by individuals, submitted by SNEA are not given consideration. It may have been missed in final selection by the authority that decided these modifications.

This is mainly due to fact that their representations are not received by the Pers section through Proper Channel and if received, these representations do not have the supporting documents or their names missed in consolidation of such representations by the Pers section.

SNEA will continue to pursue all such genuine requests and affected individuals are requested to share the fresh representations quoting this Modification order and quoting the other request given consideration on the same ground. Only Required is to send it proper channel along with all relevant and required documents and its copy along with all supporting documents may be shared with CS concerned.

For any issues or follow up at the Corporate Office, individuals may contact the concerned officers in the Pers section or Shri Arvind Pal Dahiya JSC CHQ Mobile 9416051919.  

SNEA congratulates to the executives who got relief and justice and assure all other executives waiting for justice that we will continue our persuasion for giving consideration to their genuine requests.

SNEA conveys thanks to CMD BSNL, Director HR, PGM Pers and all other officers in Pers section and appeal for consideration of other genuine representations by calling missing documents from Circles or individuals and give consideration to OTP Requests which have missed for short of few days/months in completion of three years criteria.
