Congratulations !!! :First Outcome of Special HR Month Activities: AGM CIT BSNL CO writes to all
Circle Heads regarding extension of Laptop Reimbursement policy to all the Executives
in the Field units. Copy<<<>>
With pursuation of SNEA, in June 2023, the laptop
reimbursement policy available only to GM and above level officers, was first
extended only to SDE and above Executive at BSNL CO as sample case. Copy<<<>>
It was always assured for its extension to
field units but was not extended giving reason for not updating data of
existing desktop PCs and laptops in the ESS/ERP and it is unfortunate that some
Circles have still not updated this data and the condition of updating this
data has been added in this order also.
The Policy approved for BSNL Corporate Office was
not covering JTOs/JAOs and SNEA has taken stand and pursued continuously that
JTOs/JAOs are the officers working at forefront and more Techno Savvy and they
should be given topmost priority for efficient office working and it was always
quoted that there is huge number of JTOs/JAOs and due to financial condition of
BSNL, the same cannot be extended to JTOS/JAOs. But SNEA has not agreed for
this partial extension of Laptop policy excluding JTOs/JAOs and we have
insisted for extension of Laptop policy to all executives including JTOS/JAOs.
We are happy to see that all
JTOs/JAOs who are backbone of the BSNL including those working at BSNL
Corporate office are now eligible for reimbursement of the amount against purchase
of Laptop.
Apart from exclusion of JTOs/JAOs, there were
many other stringent terms/conditions including the cost of reimbursement of laptops
and SNEA has taken up all such issues continuously pursued for its
consideration. Letter-I
<<<>> Letter -II <<<>>
On the basis of our persuation, one Committee
of Circle Heads with CGMT MH as Chairman of the Committee was constituted to
study the issues and finally the committee submitted its report last month.
Then the proposal was put up to MC Management Committee) and now the same approved
by the MC on 09/04/2024 but order delayed for fortnight due to administrative
procedures thereof.
Though major suggestions given by SNEA are given
consideration and included in the final policy, our suggestion for uniform cost
of Laptop @ Rs. 70000 for all executives regardless of his designation is not
accepted and the cost of reimbursement is kept as per the existing Policy only.
Many executives in the Corporate Office have
purchased laptops in the range of Rs 60000 to 70000 and hence we have demanded
for Rs 70000, but it was said that it is not full reimbursement, but it will be
partial reimbursement and it can be reviewed at later stage on improvement of financial
condition of BSNL.
But it is good that all executives including
JTOs/JAOs regardless of the wing/vertical
in which he/she is working are now eligible for this partial
reimbursement on purchase of Laptop from
Open Market as per his/her choice and office requirements.
Now one has to purchase a laptop and submit the
reimbursement through ERP/ESS with GST compliant Original Purchase Bill/Invoice
and get the cost reimbursed in next salary after submission of claim.
Though it’s not mentioned in this letter, but
as per existing procedure of BSNL, reimbursement is to be done within 60 days
of the Purchase of laptop and claims after 60 days are not accepted in ERP/ESS
and all executives should be prompt enough to submit their claims in given time
of 60 days.
It is important this amount is for a period of
four years and after four years the executive concerned can make the next claim
on purchase of laptop which means the executives are eligible for Reimbursement
of laptop amount after every four years and it will be a continuous process for
all serving Executives.
There are many executives in field units of
BSNL who have a very old and life expired desktop PCs and some even do not have
a desktop PCs and have to share it with other executives/ employees, and now
all these executives are eligible and will get a brand new laptop with fixed
amount reimbursement for four years.
Existing Desktop PCs does
not include the Desktop PCS which are used for Operations of Systems and these
laptops are being issued only routine individuals office works and not for operation
of any official system in the office.
With these new laptops, highly qualified and
experienced executives of BSNL will also be able to compete with executives
from Private sector as certain officers are always making comparisons for the
same.
It is mentioned in this letter that executives
who are already allotted desktop PCs will not be eligible for new Laptop reimbursement
but the same is available on surrender of existing Laptops/Desktop PCs. In such
cases executives have the choice to purchase a laptop and then surrender the
existing Desktop PCs/old laptop to the IT section of their BA/Circle and then
submit the claim and the same will be surely approved.
Even if somebody is issued a desktop PC recently
and the said executive is willing to purchase a laptop for an efficient and
comfortable office working under this policy, he/she can go ahead with it as
the same is being followed in the BSNL Corporate office. It has been also clearly
mentioned at the concluding paragraph of this policy and hence there should not
be any confusion as being created on what’sApp by some individuals/groups.
The same is case with applicability of laptop
policy for executives in non-Telecom wing i.e. Account, Civil,
Electrical/Arch/TF etc and it may be noted that this policy is applicable to
executives in the BSNL in all wings and units.
Further, the individual Executives are at full
liberty to purchase a laptop of any version, any technical combination/
specifications, any type/model and from any of the shop/company or online as
he/she desires.
Depreciation cost is 25% every year and after
four years, the laptop will be owned by the executive concerned and he will be
eligible for purchase a new laptop again on completion of four years.
In existing policy at BSNL CO, it was
mandatory for executives to retain the laptop on transfer/retirement and SNEA
has taken up this issue and now it is optional to either take home laptop at
depreciated cost or surrender it to BSNL. The depreciation cost will be 25% per
year, and definitely it is as per the amount reimbursed by BSNL.
Similarly in GM and above policy purchase of
Laptop or Notebook was allowed and the same was not allowed for Executives and
now Executives in the BSNL including JTOs/JAOs have option to purchase laptop
or notebook as per his/her choice.
The cost of software and AMC are part of this
reimbursement and antivirus/endpoint security software will be provided by
BSNL.
SNEA is pursuing certain schemes with
discounted cost especially for BSNL executives for purchase of laptops and we
are hopeful for some offers at least for a fixed period from chain
shops/companies as it will be bulk purchase of laptops all over India.
There are certain issues, which we have raised
and not given consideration in final policy and we will continue to pursue for
the same and we are hopeful that these issues can be resolved in coming days.
But it is very important that now all Executives in the BSNL are eligible for
purchase of laptop that to be as per his/her choice with fixed partial
reimbursement cost and he/she also has the choice to continue to work on BSNL
provided Desktop/Laptop without any expenditure from his /her pocket.
This is a good start of HR Month activities as
it is the first order issued in HR Month declared by CMD BSNL and something is
always better than nothing and here individuals have a choice to decide.
We are hopeful that this extension of the updated
laptop policy will reduce difficulties faced by the Executives in field units
and now they will not wait for mercy of the higher officers for allotment of Desktop
PCs and are given better choices for his/her office work/s. Naturally, it will also
help all executives to complete their personal works on this laptop also.
SNEA conveys sincere thanks and gratitude to Shri.
A Robert J Ravi, CMD BSNL for considering our genuine requests and giving
opportunity to executives in the BSNL for more Techno Savvy and efficient
office working.
We also convey thanks and gratitude to Shri.
Vivek Banzal, Director CFA BSNL Board and his IT team of BSNL for accepting
our requests for desired changes in existing laptop policy and mainly making
JTOs/JAOs eligible for laptop reimbursement policy.
We specially convey thanks to Dr. Kalyan
Sagar Nippani, Director HR BSNL Board for his firm assurance for extension
of laptop policy in the last formal agenda meeting held with SNEA, the only recognised
Majority Association.
We convey thanks to Shri. Rajeev Sharma,
GM IT BSNL CO and his IT team at BSNL CO for giving consideration to our time
to time pursuation and accepting all possible requests from SNEA.
We also convey thanks to Mrs. Anita Johri,
PGM SR BSNL CO for supporting this genuine demand of BSNL Executives in all
formal agenda meetings.
This is start of HR Month and we are confident
that as assured by CMD BSNL and Director HR BSNL time to time the urgent issues
of AGM LICE Promotions, OTP Request from Tenure as well Non-Tenure stations,
genuine request for change of Circle, retention, cancellation on genuine
grounds will be given consideration by today.
We also have seen very positive response from
the BSNL Management on resolution of issues related to different pending
Promotions and we are hopeful for a certain outcome on all pending promotions
also.
Apart from this, other genuine issues like enhancement
of SAB contribution, enhancement of TA/DA rates, enhancement of Transportation Allowance, Constitution
of Benevolent Fund to
support Family members of deceased employees, Second Saturday Off for all field
units, Implementation of E7 Scale in
place of E6 for BSNL Executives, Approval of Sabbatical leave for
Executives, Enhancement in
Children Education allowance and certain other allowances available to BSNL
Executives, Restoration of Medical reimbursement as per DA/basic of April Month
of current Year , BSNL funded GTI Policy, Online IQ Booking and allotment thereof are pursued by
SNEA and we are getting positive response from Management on consideration of
these issues.
As the majority of the time
of HR Month April 2025 is over, there is feeling among some executives that
issues will not be given consideration, but as per our continuous persuasion
and discussions thereof, we are confident that these issues will be given
consideration shortly. We are hopeful for extension of HR Month for some days/weeks
in the month of May 2025.
Please be assured that we
will get these pending HR issues settled and there is no need for panic just
because of the passing HR Month period. We
have to move ahead with getting whatever possible solutions on pending HR and
financial issues from this BSNL management and we are hopeful for the same.

associations together. We are also thankful to management that finally our

request for consideration of requests by Executives who were transferred under

June 2025, he informed that he cannot assure at this stage but assured to look

Executives from Tenure stations are being given consideration.
After elaborating basic
issues as finalised and updating to General Secretaries of all three Recognised
Associations, PGM Pers informed that if it is acceptable to associations, the
further course of action will be taken by his office. He added that his Pers team
will be working on holidays also so that AGM LICE Posting Orders and OTP

On consideration of other
issues submitted by GSs of recognised Associations, PGM Pers informed that he

Update on Meeting with CMD BSNL on HR
Month Activities: In view of April 2025 as
HR Month proposed by Shri. A Robert J Ravi, CMD BSNL, three Recognized
associations viz. SNEA, AIGETOA and
SEWA had submitted detailed agenda well in advance by the end of March 2025
and are continuously pursuing further together.
By now almost half of the
April 2025 is passed, but no action has been seen on the resolution of agenda
submitted and the simple and routine issues like issuing AGM LICE Promotion
Orders, Transfer orders for consideration of OTP Requests pending for last one
year period etc are not given consideration and there is mass unrest among the
executives who have high expectations from this HR Month as announced by CMD
BSNL.
In this regard, it is to
inform that discussions among the General Secretaries of the recognised
associations viz. SNEA, AIGETOA and
SEWA started well in advance of HR Month
and since 02/04/2025, we had
different rounds of discussions with
prominent officers in BSNL Management viz. PGM SR/Rstg, PGM Admn/Estt/Trg, PGM
Pers, Director HR and even with CMD BSNL and it has been always assured for
resolution of HR issues but practically nothing has been decided except
Extension of Laptop Policy to field units for which also order is not yet
issued.
By taking note of
discussions with different officers and responses and progress thereof, General
Secretaries of the Recognised Associations viz. SNEA, AIGETOA & SEWA
had a meeting with Shri A. Robert J. Ravi, CMD BSNL at 2000 Hrs on
11/04/2025 in his office, wherein Shri Rajeev Kaushik PGM Pers was also
present.
At the outset, we have
shared the feelings of the executives all over India and how excellent idea by
CMD BSNL for April 2025 as HR Month has been become part of jokes and
criticism in group discussions on social media and how the executives are
losing their patience as nothing is seen as desired out of HR Month April 2025.
In response, CMD BSNL
expressed that the team of Pers section is working day and night for the last
ten days and when things are moving ahead and HR issues are being resolved one
by one why association leaders are worried and become panicked.
CMD BSNL confirmed that
BSNL Management Committee has approved the proposal for extension of updated
Laptop policy to field units for all executives and things are being decided
one by one.
We expressed that by now
half of the working days of April 2025 are passed and we have seen nothing as
outcome in HR Month as assured by his high office.
We elaborated that even a
simple and routine work which was expected in the first day/week of April 2025
like AGM LICE Promotion Orders, OTP Request transfers etc are not seeing light
of day even though it has been firmly assured by everyone up to Director HR
BSNL Board. We also added that we have requested to start HR Month with AGM
LICE Order, but the same also is not given consideration.
We conveyed that the
officers in different Pers/HR/ Admn sections all over India are busy in updating
data of the Educational Qualifications of all executives in ESS/ERP and we
agree that they are working even on holidays and late evening hours, but
nothing has been seen as outcome out of such huge efforts. We categorically
brought to his notice that the issues are not decided for unknown reasons and
there is need for his intervention of his high office as we find that issues
are struck up at decision level and can be resolved only with his directions.
CMD BSNL asked PGM Pers
what are the issues and why such unrest is among the executives when he and his
office is working day and night including holidays. PGM Pers shared that issues
are being looked into and basic works are being taken care of and very shortly
the issues can be decided.
We added that though work/s
are being done day and night, even an issue of 200 plus AGM LICE promotions is
not finalised even with day and night working by officers in the Pers section.
We also added that we are stressing for this AGM LICE orders as priority HR
issues, we have seen OTP orders of July 2024 window ready in Dec 2024, but the same
is also not issued and it is really a
matter of concern. PGM Pers responded that major work on both the issues is
completed and assured for early completion of the remaining part.
CMD BSNL shared that Pers
team should have started this work well in advance in the month of January so
that the issues could have been reached to conclusions by this time. CMD BSNL
added that he has certain ideas to improve the process of Promotions and
Transfer/posting in BSNL including OTP requests based on performance of
executives concerned.
We responded that since
last fortnight, this issue has been discussed with us by PGM SR, PGM Pers and
Director HR and we are being asked to give consent for the SOP for Transfer and
Posting 2025-26. We added that the associations have conveyed changes required
in this draft SOP and the same are not yet decided to its finality and the
rounds of discussions are not concluded in the last fortnight and finalization
of SOP also needs kind intervention from his high office.
In response, CMD BSNL
informed that since fortnight the team of Pers section is working day and night
and have not taken any holiday and associations should appreciate such devoted
working. He expressed that he is not aware of any such SOP which needs to be
signed by Associations but he agreed there is a need for acknowledging and
respecting performance of executives in BSNL. He added that good performers
need to be rewarded and non-performers should at least be given the feeling
that one has to perform and give his/her best to the BSNL.
We have conveyed that
associations have suggested some corrections and our main concern is about APAR
as base for counting performance in place of IPMS and introduction of Probation
period for promotions in BSNL against DoPT guidelines. CMD BSNL directed PGM
Pers to look into the concern expressed by the associations and see
possibilities of its consideration.
CMD BSNL again said that
executives should be so devoted to BSNL that when one gets up in the morning,
he should think of only BSNL and how he/she can give the best for BSNL on a day
to day basis. He formally assured for resolution of HR issues and categorically
asked important issues which the association needs resolution.
We have submitted that we
have already shared the letter consisting the list of all such issues which
needs to be resolved in HR Month April 2025 and are pursuing with all to fulfil
HR Month assurance.
CMD BSNL categorically
directed PGM Pers to check the issues submitted by the associations and to
complete all the works with Priority to Promotion and Transfer/ Posting Orders
without any further delay. CMD BSNL added that he also desires to complete all
works related to Promotions and Transfers by the coming week and it depends on
how fast the Pers section responds to it.
We have detailed discussions on the Promotions for AO to CAO, JTO to SDE Civil/Elect and other promotions wherein associations gave detailed feedback.
CMD BSNL informed that as per his information
and analysis, there is difference of opinion amongst the associations on this
issue and hence issues cannot be decided. We updated him on the happenings over
the period and how the matter has come to a stage where BSNL can issue AO to
CAO promotions if certain initiatives with some concrete steps are taken as per
DoPT guidelines in tune with Supreme Court Directions which are endorsed by
DoPT vide letter dated 22/04/2022 and being followed in BSNL for promotions in
all wings.
Some of the updates like
intervention of Supreme Court and directions thereof were new to him and
assured to look into this issue if associations come with a common proposal and
we have assured for the same. CMD BSNL
directed PGM Pers to look into the issues and see for possible solutions for these
pending promotions and see that promotions and transfers are issued together as
early as possible.
We added that though major
issues submitted by Recognised Associations are with PGM Pers, but there are
certain HR issues which need action by other vertical heads under Director HR
viz. SR/Rstg, Admn, Estt, Trg/Rectt and here also his intervention is required
to decide the issues.
CMD BSNL informed that all
these issues submitted by associations are handed over to Director HR with
directions to look into these issues. He assured for the resolution of certain
issues but categorically informed that all the issues cannot be resolved in HR
Month but one by one genuine issues will be discussed and decided and directed
us to submit detailed feedback and submission on these issues.
On huge pending court
cases and heavy expenditure thereof, CMD BSNL once again reiterated that he
really means it to reduce the number of court cases and huge expenditure
thereof and he has a lot of expectations from the Associations in this
direction. We shared that we have analysed all the pending court cases and
submitted a case wise report to PGM Pers and are waiting for further response
from Pers Cell.
We added that the majority
of the court cases are by individuals against non-settlement of individual grievances
and can be settled if the grievances are addressed and applicants are given
special hearing by holding special Lok Adalat within BSNL.
We added there are certain
court cases filed by associations as applicants and we are ready for
discussions and withdrawal of the court cases if the concerned units /section give
due consideration of the issue disputed in court or explain us the issues with support
of documents and guidelines on the subject so that we can change our stand in
tune with these guidelines.
We narrated that there are
major cases related to Seniority, Promotions & Pay which are common for all
and if the appeal by CMD BSNL is given due consideration by the concerned
vertical Heads, the court cases will be reduced to a better extent.
CMD BSNL directed PGM Pers
to look into concerns expressed by the associations and directed him to come up
with proposals on all the court cases which can be resolved.
In overall discussions,
CMD BSNL has stressed for more contribution by the executives for growth of
BSNL and in reciprocation he is ready to resolve all the issues one by one.
CMD BSNL informed that there are certain officers in BSNL Corporate Office who are overstayed in sections as well as in Corporate Office and there is proposal to shift few of the longest stayed officers from BSNL. We expressed that already it is decided to stop long stay transfers and keep it minimum need base and there should not any such proposal.
CMD BSNL informed that many officers are in same sections and
verticals for years together and their sections will be changed but few are
posted at Corporate office for very long period and they may be transferred and
directed PGM Pers to share details with associations.
In conclusion, we
requested for some firm assurance and steps for resolutions of the issues and
CMD BSNL firmly assured for issuing Promotions and Transfer/posting together
within fortnight and most probably in coming week but he stressed for certain importance to performance in deciding
it by with due consideration to suggestions given by association to possible
extent. We conveyed thanks for the same and assured all possible support from
Associations with timely feedback on different issues as discussed in the
meeting.
From these detailed
discussions with CMD BSNL which lasted for more than half an hour, we feel that
CMD BSNL has nothing negative on HR issues but he has readiness on resolution
of HR issues in a proactive manner. Accordingly, we are hopeful for the start
of HR Month with certain results and consideration of OTP Requests and AGM LICE
Promotions in this week or early next week.
Let us hope for the best.
