Congratulations!!!! AGM Estt BSNL CO issued Orders for enhancement of  TA/DA rates for BSNL Executives by amendment in TA/DA Rules 2002 and the revised rates are applicable  from 01/10/2026. Copy<<<>>

This is result of continuous follow up, presentations in Formal and informal agenda meeting and pursuation by SNEA, finally long awaited Order for enhancement of TA/DA rates for AGM and below level officers is issued.

SNEA noted the discrimination in enhancement of TA/DA Rates for DGM and above level officers as per the latest rates and continuing the TA /DA Rates  for AGM and below level officers at the rates last approved in Year 2002 and has continuously demanded for clearing this discrimination.  Copy<<<>>

Accordingly, the committee for enhancement of TA/DA was constituted last year and Committee also has given positive recommendations in July 2026 and thereafter the report was processed for approval of BSNL MC and Board, and this order is issued after approval of BSNL Board.

Now the rates are as good as doubled and this is great relief to the executives who have to tour for different office works locally as well as other stations. This is fulfilment of one of the commitments of SNEA and we continue our efforts to full all commitments made to BSNL Executives.   

SNEA CHQ conveys sincere thanks and gratitude to  Shri. A. Robert J. Ravi, CMD BSNL, Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director HR, All Board of Directors, Shri. S. P Singh, PGM Estt  BSNL, All the Committee members  and the team of officers in Estt Section BSNL CO for considering the request of SNEA for enhancement of TA/DA Rates for AGM and below level officers at par with DGM and above level officers and clearing this discrimination going on for last 26 years.

We are aware that these enhanced rates are also not sufficient to meet the expenditure on travelling as per the market requirements as these reviewed in view of the prevailing market rates and the financial position of the BSNL and SNEA will continue its efforts to enhance it as per the practical requirement of Executives. 

AGM Pers BSNL CO issued second modification order by giving consideration to genuine representations given by the individuals on certain grounds viz. self-medical, care giver, PwBD Category, All India Hard/Soft Tenure Completion etc and given justice to certain affected executives. Copy<<<>>

This is result of continuous follow of all these representations by SNEA and putting the pains and hardship faced by these executives in front of Management.

It is good to see that in this order, the modifications are given consideration on grounds viz. self-medical, care giver, PwBD Category, All India Hard/Soft Tenure Completion etc and some requests are given consideration.

But the requests on similar grounds by other executives are not given consideration mainly due to fact that their applications are not received through proper channel with due recommendations and if received then it was late receipt after the process for issuing this modification order was started.

SNEA has consolidated all such requests received from the Circle Secretaries and the same is submitted to the Management and we are pursuing for considering all these requests.

Massive Countrywide Hunger Fast and Demonstrations held All Over India for Early Approval of Third Pay/Wage Revision: In response to the agitational call given by the All Unions and Associations of BSNL (AUAB), a Massive Relay Hunger Fast by GSs/CSs, CHQ/Circle Office Bearers along with Lunch Hour Demonstrations at OA/BA/Circle and CHQ were held at nook and corner of India on 01/10/2026 i.e. on 26^th BSNL Foundation Day. Hundreds of Executives/Non-Executives with AUAB leaders raised strong voice in support of single demand for early approval and implementation of the Third Pay/Wage Revision for BSNL Executives and Non-Executives.

Reports received from all OAs/BAs and Circles confirmed enthusiastic participation and impressive mobilisation of AUAB Office Bearers and members of various constituent Associations/Unions with strongest ever unity and never seen before the determination to secure their legitimate demand for third Pay/Wage Revision.

The leaders of AUAB all over India along with Majority of the Executives/Non-Executives conveyed greetings and wishes on 26^th BSNL Foundation Day to each other but boycotted any celebrations arranged by the certain insensitive officers in BSNL.

It was nice to see that in partial response to the appeal/request by AUAB to BSNL Management, not to arrange any celebrations on BSNL Foundation Day or postpone it till approval of Third Pay Revision, no formal letter was issued by BSNL Corporate Office for celebrations on 26^th BSNL Foundation Day.

But till few insensitive Circle/BA Heads have arranged the celebrations at their level and continued with utter insensitivity. But their insensitivity was responded by the Executives and Non-Executives with strongest unity as the majority of them boycotted such celebrations and remained absent from celebrations.

At BSNL CO Delhi, CMD BSNL addressed gathering covering majority of GMs/PGMs who are getting benefits of 7^th CPC, but the BSNL Executives and Non-Executives remained absent from this address of CMD BSNL and expressed their anguish and unrest against undue delay by DoT in approval of their Pay Revision. The said boycott continued even after personal appeal from some individuals that this is not celebrations and it is just an address of a few minutes.

The same was situation all over India and except few selfish Executives/Non-Executives, which can be counted at finger tips who are not left even with minimum required sensitivity towards his/her own delayed Pay/Wage Revision were seen roaming alongside of BA/Circle Heads and supporting these insensitive Circle/BA Heads for their celebrations of 7^th & 8^th Pay Revision.    

At CHQ level, the Relay Hunger Fast at Eastern Court, Janpath, New Delhi, witnessed the participation of senior leaders of AUAB constituent Associations/Unions participated in the Relay Hunger Fast and Lunch Hour Demonstrations.

Addressing the gathering, the leaders highlighted the present status of the Third Pay/Wage Revision proposal and the role of the DoT, Government in resolving the long pending issue. They reiterated that the continued delay in approval of the Third Pay/Wage Revision, is unacceptable and called for a decisive intervention early Pay Revision for BSNL Executives and Non-Executives.

The Full Day Relay Hunger Fast with massive Lunch Hour demonstrations reaffirmed the determination of AUAB to intensify the agitational programme, if the long pending demand remains unresolved and deadlock in DoT continues.

Significantly, despite the invitations/appeals to participate in the Foundation Day programme by SR cell, personally by some OA/BA and Circle Heads, Majority of Executives and Non-Executives across the country remained absent from such name sake celebrations and participated in the Relay Hunger Fast at Circle/Corporate level and Lunch Hour Demonstrations at OA/BA, Circle and Corporate office reaffirming their commitment to the collective determination to fight for the legitimate demand of the Third Pay/Wage Revision.

SNEA CHQ conveys sincere thanks and gratitude to all AUAB leaders, members and participants for making the Nationwide programme a grand success. The enthusiastic response across the country sends a strong message that the BSNL workforce remains united and determined to secure justice on the issue of the Third Pay/Wage Revision.

SNEA conveys thanks to BSNL Management and about all OA/BA/Circle heads who respected the sentiments of BSNL workforce about undue delay in approval of Third Pay/Wage Revision by not arranging celebrations of 26^th BSNL Foundation Day. We appeal to others to respect the feelings of thousands of Executives and Non-Executives all over India who are facing financial losses and to show some sensible approach towards the own workforce of BSNL.

Meantime, it is understood that this long pending issue of Third Pay /Wage revision is being reviewed at DoT and the deadlock is about to be cleared shortly.

Let us maintain our unity, strengthen our collective resolve and make every forthcoming programme a grand success until the demand for the Third Pay/Wage Revision is achieved.
