Congratulations to one and all ---

Uniform Time Bound Functional Promotion Policy (CPSU Cadre Hierarchy) upto AGM Grade approved by the Management Committee of BSNL Board today.  

We express our sincere gratitude to Shri Anupam Shrivastava, CMD/BSNL, Smt Sujata T Ray/DIR(HR), Shri Deb Kumar Chakrabarty, PGM(Pers) and Shri Manish Kumar, Jt GM(Pers) for bringing a uniform promotion policy for all the Executives irrespective of wing/stream and taking bold initiative and decision to convert BSNL into a CPSU in terms of promotions, after 17 years of its formation.

Further details about the proposal will be updated later. 

 

02-11-2017

Broad agreement reached between the Recognised Association SNEA and BSNL Management on Uniform Time Bound Functional Promotion (CPSU Cadre Hierarchy) proposal.

I.       It will be a Uniform Time Bound Functional Promotion policy for all the Executives in different cadres and in different wings upto AGM grade. This will end the disparity in promotions between various cadres in different wings and provides uniform promotional avenues to all the Executives in different wings.

II.     New designations will be as follows:

JTO /JAO equivalent grade        - Deputy Manager

SDE /AO equivalent grade               - Manager 

Sr. SDE /Sr.AO equivalent grade   - Sr. Manager

AGM /CAO/EE/DE equivalent grade -Asst General Manager

III.  Date of implementation: 01.01.2017.

As a onetime measure, all the existing Executives in higher scales and completed the qualifying service will be placed in higher grades on 01.01.2017 itself without conducting fresh DPC.

IV.    Subsequent review: 1st Jan/1st July, 2018 onwards, twice in a year.

V.       Existing Executives in higher scales will be placed in higher grades without conducting fresh DPC.

VI.    Promotion upto AGM grade will be on Rect year/ vacancy year basis.

VII. Functional Promotion upto AGM grade will be on Time Bound basis as under:

a)  Deputy Manager (JTO/JAO) to Manager (SDE/AO)      --- 5 years.

b)  Manager (SDE/AO) to Sr Manager (Sr SDE/Sr AO)      --- 5 years.

c)  Sr Manager (Sr SDE/Sr AO) to AGM (DE/CAO/EE)      --- 5 years.

d)  Since Sr Manager (Sr SDE) grade is newly introduced as a functional grade, time bound promotion to AGM grade will be after 5 years of service in Sr Manager (Sr SDE/Sr AO) grade or 12 years combined service in SDE & Sr SDE equivalent grades, whichever is less.

e)  If sufficient number of eligible Executives is not available for AGM/CAO promotion, Adhoc promotions will be given by relaxing the qualifying service.

VIII.          Time Bound upgradations to higher scales will continue for the Executives already working in higher scales, on completion of qualifying service in the lower scale.

IX.    Relaxation in qualifying service for the Executives in higher scales:

a)  Manager (SDE/AO) in E3 scale will be considered for promotion to Sr Manager Grade after 3 years of servicein Manager Grade. All will get AGM promotion in 8 years.

b)  Dy Manager (JTO/JAO) in E4 scale will be considered for promotion to Sr Manager Grade after 3 years of servicein Manager Grade. All will get AGM promotion in 8 years.

c)  Dy Manager (JTO/JAO) in E3 scale will be considered for promotion to Sr Manager Grade after 4 years of servicein Manager Grade. All will get AGM promotion in 9 years.

X.     One year relaxation for the Dy Managers (JTO/JAO) recruited for the same rect year.

XI.  Present LDCE passed and corresponding vacancy year Seniority Quota Executives will be enbloc senior to other JTOs. They will be treated as SDE from 01.01.2017 itself.

On CPSU Hierarchy, the formal discussions are taken place with the recognized Assns only, as per the provisions of Recognition Rules. SNEA only have the right for negotiation/discussion with the management on such policy matters. On large number of issues, agreement reached between both sides. But on some issues, management did not fully agree to the demands, citing administrative constraints.

This will be the major breakthrough for all the Executives and a direct result of the membership verification and becoming recognized Association. During verification campaign, it was assured by SNEA that it will try to get promotions within 3 months, ie. by March, 2017. By this new policy, promotions will be effected from January, 2017 itself, just one month after the MV.

AIGETOA also contributed to frame the proposal by valid suggestions and we really appreciate their positive and pragmatic approach to end the deadlock situation in promotions.

Due to various reasons Assn could not update the latest developments and this major breakthrough to our activists at various levels for the last two months when proposal was under finalization

Today AIBSNLEA has written a letter to BSNL management for including cascading effects points in E2/E3 letter of reconsideration to be sent to DOT. It is really unfortunate that when all the Executives in BSNL have joined together in the struggle for E2 and E3 scales unconditionally, such demands are raised by them which may kill the whole issue. Earlier, AIBSNLEA has given support letter for the struggle, even agreed to have joint struggle at one point of time. Cascading effect shall be a show stopper in settlement of pay scales and this fact is known to everyone in BSNL. At this point of time, when the agitation by the Executives forced DoT to reconsider the decision, our own comrades and Assns are again trying to derail the issue by seeking cascading effect in replacement of Non Standard Pay Scales E1A and E2A by E2 and E3.

It is our appeal to AIBSNLEA to withdraw the letter and give a letter in support of settling E2 and E3 scales alone. Otherwise the history will never forgive them. All the members of AIBSNLEA should force the leadership to change the stand on E2 and E3 scales and support the agitation.

DGM promotion: As we requested to include the resultant vacancies of Addl. GM looking after as GMs, finally management agreed to our demand and today CMD given approval for promotion to 513 DGM posts. The DPC minutes are approved. Orders will be issued tomorrow or day after tomorrow.

Indefinite Day long Relay Hunger strike (09.30 am to 05.30 pm) at BSNL HQ and Circle HQs started from 01.05.2017 onwards. SSAs should join the Relay Hunger strike at Circle HQs in rotation to make the programme successful. Each and every Executive should voluntarily come forward to participate in the Hunger Strike. All the JAO/AOs and other Executives not joined this agitation so far shall come forward and join this struggle for their better future. This agitation is for our future. JF will protect each and every Executive joins this agitation from vindictive actions. This Relay Hunger Strike will continue till the issues are resolved to our satisfaction. CSs and other activists to chalk out the strategy accordingly.

Meeting with DIR(HR): GS and CHQ President met Smt Sujata T Ray, DIR(HR) on 02.03.17 and held discussions on

a) Finalising CPSU Cadre Hierarchy: Since all the promotions are stalled due to litigations, there is an urgent need to finalise the proposal. DIR(HR) is also very keen to find a solution to the stalemate and assured to finalise it at the earliest.

Further the Man power plan is also to be finalized as all HR issues are stopped in the BSNL Board by the Board of Directors from DoT in the name of HR plan. In HR power plan, the number of posts will be reworked based on assets and number of connections. There will be a sharp cut in the number of vacancies, making the functional promotional avenues practically NILL. So before finalization of HR plan we have to switch over to CPSU Hierarchy.

b) DGM Promotions: The DGM promotions for all the vacancies are to be completed at the earliest so that promotion orders can be issued in March. Necessary approval may be given for that purpose. DIR(HR) agreed to complete the DPC at the earliest.

c) Sending response to DoT on 3^rd PRC. Several rounds of discussions held with GM(SR) on the BSNL response to DoT. All the important aspects like affordability, three years performance and operational profits, pay revision with full 15% fitment, motivation to the employees to face the competition, pension contribution, huge retirement in the coming years etc are made part of the response. First time in the history of BSNL, we had seen that BSNL making a positive response with regard to pay revision.
