THE AITEEA , CENTRAL HEAD QUARTER UPDATES
08.07.2024 E1A Pay Fixation Anomaly of Directly Recruited JTOs of 2007 & 2008 Batches. A Matter of Pay Justice, Parity and Correct Fixation The All India Telecom Executive & Engineers Association (AITEEA) has consistently pursued the issue concerning the anomalous fixation of initial basic pay of directly recruited JTOs of the 2007 and 2008 batches, who were recruited in the E1A pay scale of ₹9,850–14,600. The issue arises from the differential basic-pay fixation that emerged after implementation of the 2nd Pay Revision. The Association has placed on record that, prior to the 2nd Pay Revision, the JTOs of the concerned batches were recruited in the same E1A scale and that the subsequent fixation resulted in a substantial difference in basic pay between similarly recruited executives. Association’s Stand AITEEA has maintained that the pay anomaly deserves to be examined on the basis of: The recruitment notifications applicable to the respective batches; The pay scale offered at the time of recruitment; The orders implementing the 2nd Pay Revision; The manner in which the basic pay was subsequently fixed; The principle of equal treatment for employees recruited under the same pay scale and substantially similar service conditions; and The judicial principles referred to by the Association in its representations and legal proceedings. The Association has therefore sought appropriate correction of the initial basic pay fixation, including fixation at ₹22,820 as initial basic pay, as specifically pleaded in its representations and legal proceedings. --- AITEEA’s Continuous Pursuit The Association has pursued the matter through departmental representations, committee proceedings, judicial forums, RTI-based information and legal action, rather than treating the issue as a mere representation. Key Milestones 2007–2008 — Recruitment JTOs of the concerned batches were recruited pursuant to BSNL recruitment notifications offering the E1A pay scale of ₹9,850–14,600. 2008–2009 — 2nd Pay Revision Following implementation of the 2nd Pay Revision, differences emerged in the basic-pay fixation of JTOs belonging to different recruitment batches. The Association subsequently raised the issue of the resulting pay anomaly. 2010 — Departmental Committee The record shows that representations concerning the pay anomaly were submitted and that BSNL constituted a committee to examine the issue and make recommendations. 2013 — Earlier Tribunal Proceedings The attached record refers to the decision dated 23.04.2013 in OA No. 3208/2011 concerning the pay-fixation dispute. 2017 — Special Committee BSNL constituted a special committee on 10.01.2017 to examine the concerns relating to the pay anomaly. AITEEA subsequently submitted its representation before the committee. 2019 — Delhi High Court Proceedings AITEEA challenged the earlier decision before the Hon’ble Delhi High Court in WP(C) 7672/2019. The order dated 18.07.2019 is included in the documentary record. 2021 — Committee Constituted by BSNL BSNL constituted a committee on 02.07.2021 to examine the issue of pay loss of executives recruited in E1A, including the demand concerning ₹22,820 as initial basic pay. The committee was directed to submit its recommendations by 31.07.2021. The documentary record further contains the committee's internal proceedings, including requests for inputs from concerned associations and scheduling of a committee meeting. 2023 — RTI Disclosure An RTI reply dated 02.11.2023 is included in the case record. The Association relied upon the information received through RTI regarding the status of the committee and related documents. 2024 — Further Legal Pursuit Following the information available regarding the committee, AITEEA initiated further legal proceedings concerning non-submission of the committee report. The attached record refers to the PCAT order dated 17.01.2024 in RA 17/2024 and subsequent legal notice dated 01.05.2024. The Association subsequently resolved to pursue the matter before the competent judicial forum concerning the non-submission of the committee report. A resolution dated 25.06.2024 authorising filing of an Original Application before PCAT is also part of the record. --- Legal Proceedings AITEEA filed proceedings before the Hon’ble Central Administrative Tribunal, Principal Bench, New Delhi, against Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) & another, concerning the pay-fixation issue. The case record identifies AITEEA as the applicant and BSNL and another respondent. The application places before the Tribunal the Association's case regarding: 1. Recruitment of JTOs in the E1A scale; 2. Subsequent fixation of basic pay after the 2nd Pay Revision; 3. The resulting differential in basic pay; 4. The representations made to BSNL; 5. Constitution of committees to examine the issue; 6. Non-submission of the committee's report; 7. The Association's representations and follow-up action; and 8. The legal remedies pursued for resolution of the matter. --- Documentary Record The Association has maintained documentary evidence of its sustained pursuit of the issue, including: Recruitment and pay-related records; BSNL orders and communications; Representations submitted by the Association; Committee constitution orders; Committee correspondence and proceedings; Judicial orders; RTI reply dated 02.11.2023; Legal notice dated 01.05.2024; and Association resolution authorising further legal proceedings. The case compilation itself contains the relevant correspondence, judicial orders, representations and RTI material as annexures. --- AITEEA’s Commitment AITEEA remains committed to pursuing the genuine service-related grievances of Executive Officers through every appropriate departmental, administrative and legal forum. The Association believes that issues involving pay fixation, parity, service conditions and legitimate financial entitlements must be addressed through proper examination of the applicable recruitment conditions, statutory orders, departmental records and judicial principles. The pursuit of this issue demonstrates the Association’s approach of documented representation, persistent follow-up, transparency through records and recourse to lawful remedies whenever departmental resolution does not materialise. Our Stand A genuine grievance does not end with a representation. It requires persistent follow-up, documentary evidence and, when necessary, lawful recourse to the appropriate forum. AITEEA will continue to pursue the matter until the issue reaches its appropriate conclusion in accordance with law and applicable rules.

01.07.2024: Appeal to All our beloved fraternity!!
- Dear Fraternity,
- CAT Kolkata delivered a judgment on our case and as expected it took alignment with DoT and BSNL and given a contradictory decision taking note of financial implication led by cascading. CAT Kolkata even referred DPE OM for standardization of Pay scale, though it endorsed DoT's decision for intermediate Pay Scale taking note of poor financial condition/affordability of BSNL.
- It is quite surprising to observe that 2nd PRC of BSNL pertains to year 2009 (effective from 1.1.2007) when BSNL was in good financial condition and as matter of fact it had given its employees 30 percent fitment apart from A category pay scale.
- As we are the sufferer, we can't pretend to fight. Therefore though judgment is not in favor of we all, still we the bearer brought the judgment before our aggrieved fraternity.
- We are determined to move ahead and going to challenge this decision in Kolkata High Court with all your support and blessings.
- With Love & Regards
- Manoj Singh
- GS, AITEEA
- We lost the battle, not the War.

"Appeal to All Our BSNL Fraternity"
Dear Friends,
Greetings !!
As you all are aware that BSNL is going through tough time due to maladministration and abuse of authority by the Department of Telecommunications [DoT].
On one hand, BSNL is being used as a trial bed for their forced indigenous 4G experiment program thus delaying 4G implementation thereto loss of customer and revenue, on the other hand they are acquiring worth crores prime assets of BSNL for totally free through arbitrary, vague and incompetent Presidential Orders which is against even the terms and condition of formation of BSNL.
Now DoT has once again issued a Presidential Order to take over ALTTC, a Rs. 6000 Cr. asset of BSNL for free which is against the vision of Union Govt. for revival of BSNL as ALTTC has been part of land asset monetization program of BSNL and further it is Asia’s biggest training centre fetching the need of national and international trainings of all cadres. Mahatma Gandhi ji once said that real swaraj would come “not by the acquisition of authority by a few, but by the acquisition of the capacity by all to resist authority when abused”.
In this regard, AITEEA with AUAB has planned a protest on dated 11.12.2023 (Monday) against the arbitray take over of ALTTC by DoT. All of you are requested to join this protest to show your resentment against the misuse of authority by DoT.

To
Our All BSNL Fraternity!!
As you all are aware that DoT is showing its highhandedness & arbitrary attitude to take over ALTTC which has both monetary & symbolic value. Already in past they have acquired BSNL's prime assets across India for totally free.
Their people in BSNL are enjoying 7th CPC whereas we the owner of BSNL have been denied 3rd PRC in the name of affordability. If we keep on loosing these assets continuously, we will be left with nothing & our survival will be at stake. Already we are being used as an experimental trial bed for Govts 4G indigenous at the cost of our existence.
As of now, We are at the verge of losing Rs. 6000 Cr. asset & this will be continued until we are left with nothing.
I request you all to get united in the interest of our beloved Organization irrespective of your association affiliation.
Please repost comment & like the tweets attached with this message to show your strong resentments & disagreement against arbitrary takeover of ALTTC by DoT.

AITEEA in its vigorous pursuance to 22820 the matter through Court, today achieved one more milestone.
Yesterday on 10.10.2023 in 22820 matter at PCAT, BSNL's counsel asked for adjournment under demand of some more documents. AITEEA resisted it & replied to Court that AITEEA has already two times submitted all the documents of this case directly to CMD BSNL & other Counsels & shown receipts.
Hon. Court ordered for boarding this case on very next day i.e. on 11.10.2023 with direction to AITEEA to submit all the documents once again to new advocate of BSNL. All the documents were submitted to new advocate in person to her chamber by GS & AIP AITEEA himself.
Once again very next day dated 11.10.2023 case listed at s. no. 34 in court no.4 in PCAT Delhi.
Despite huge resistance by BSNL's Counsel and insistence on disposal of case due to delay caused in respect in RA to Shailendra Singh case, AITEEA's genuine strong submission was considered & taken benevolently by Hon. PCAT.
Finally Hon. Tribunal directed BSNL to file reply in 4 weeks & matter is to be relisted on short date i.e. 22nd November.

Dear Esteemed Members of the Fraternity,
I hope this message finds you well. I would like to provide you with an update on the recent developments in the PCAT review case led by AITEEA, which pertains to the matter of Shailendra Singh.
Update: Significant Progress in this Case
Today marked a pivotal moment in the ongoing PCAT review case (22820) as Mr. Manoj Singh, the esteemed General Secretary of AITEEA, appeared in person before the esteemed judges at PCAT New Delhi. The case was slated for the second half of the day, setting the stage for a crucial session.
Notable Highlights of the Proceedings:
In-Person Appearance: Mr. Manoj Singh, the General Secretary of AITEEA, made a notable in-person appearance, demonstrating the commitment to the case's proceedings.
Presentation of Previous Orders: During the hearing, Mr. Singh informed the Honorable Judges that the CMD of BSNL had been duly served the notice in accordance with the order sheet from the prior hearing. A copy of the receiving was also provided as an evidence.
Further Process Request: With professionalism and conviction, Mr. Singh respectfully requested the court's guidance on the subsequent steps in the proceedings, reinforcing the commitment to due process.
Response from DoT's Counsel who was not party in this case : The respondent's side, represented by DoT counsel suo motto , presented their perspective, asserting that they had not received the requested documents. The proxy counsel noted that the documents had been given to their junior during the previous hearing.
Clarity Sought by the Bench: In response to the respondent's claims, the Honorable bench sought clarification from the DoT's lawyer regarding the situation. The DoT counsel seemed perplexed as he was neither nominated by BSNL nor he was among respondent. Still he was insisting for copy.
Future Steps:
Regrettably, given the circumstances and the unsatisfactory response from the respondent's prox counsel, the bench was not content with the current state of affairs. As a result, a revised date for proceedings was assigned.
Next Hearing Date: October 10, 2023
The case has been adjourned to the next hearing, which is scheduled for October 10, 2023.
AITEEA remain committed to upholding the principles of justice and ensuring a fair and transparent process for all parties concerned. Your continued support is greatly appreciated, and we will keep you updated on further developments as they unfold.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
With optimism and solidarity,
Team AITEEA
21.08.2023 : Update on PCAT Review Case led by AITEEA - Important Developments:
-
Dear Esteemed Members of the Fraternity,
I trust this message finds you well and motivated. It is a moment of significance as we approach the forthcoming membership verification, and I wish to share a few thoughts with you.
In recent times, there has been a buzz regarding the basic pay, propagated by sister associations in an attempt to garner your support. It is imperative that we approach this matter with clarity and insight. Following the JTO RR-2014, the scale of JTOs has regrettably experienced a downgrade from E1A to E1, now firmly anchored at E1. Consequently, the original pay scale specified in your recruitment advertisement stands at E1.
It is essential to distinguish fact from illusion. Assertions by certain groups advocating for five increments on the 16400 scale are, regrettably, a mere facade designed to secure your votes and establish themselves as the dominant association. As members of AITEEA, we are committed to ensuring that our fellow Direct Recruits comprehend the nuances of this situation. Our purpose is to empower all of you to demand your rightful dues from the BSNL Management and explore legal avenues.
I wish to shed light on a pivotal point: The demand for E2 grade becomes justifiable when and only when E1A is rightfully substituted by E2 for the JTOs/JAOs recruited under the E1A pay scale. It is worth highlighting that only AITEEA has relentlessly fought in the CAT Kolkata, with the Association's seal and signature, to champion the replacement of E1A with E2. The case is at its culminating phase, with both BSNL and DoT presenting their responses, and AITEEA subsequently submitting rejoinders. The case is set for its final argument on the milestone day of 12th September 2023. Based on the responses received thus far, we remain optimistic about a favourable outcome on that day.
We are firmly convinced that this case holds the potential to uplift the pay scale of the entire JTO cadre to E2, eliminating the untenable notion of dual pay scales for the same cadre.
Dear colleagues, your discernment and competence, demonstrated through your GATE qualifications, equip you to distinguish between true well-wishers and those seeking their own interests. You possess the acumen to recognize that our justifiable pay scale demand is rooted in E2.
In closing, I appeal to all our esteemed Direct Recruit executives, who entered our fraternity through the GATE examination, to exercise their votes judiciously, keeping in mind the crucial issues at hand.
With optimism and solidarity,
Team AITEEA -

18.08.2023 : Appeal to All Our DR GATE JTO Friends & Fraternity :
- D Friends and Fraternity,
-
Introduction:
The establishment of AITEEA was rooted in the significant 22820 issue involving direct JTOs from 2007 and 2008, along with 2010 DR JAOs batch was hatched from JTO 2K7-2K8 Google Group.
Restoration of Purpose:
Following the decline of the Direct Recruits' movement in 2013, the fervor surrounding the 2007 and 2008 batches diminished due to the overshadowing of the 22820 matter. The genuine demand for standard pay scales for these batches was compromised by AIGETOA's unwarranted call for cascading.
Proactive Engagement by AITEEA:
Founded in 2016, AITEEA promptly took up the 22820 issue, engaging both the Minister of Communication and BSNL Management, thus reviving the previously stagnant concern.
Resuscitating Dormant Issues:
The 22820 matter, which AIGETOA had let go of in 2010 for the 2005 batch by promising the management it'll not demand 22820 for the subsequent batches, was rejuvenated by AITEEA's emergence, breathing new life into a previously stagnant matter.
Crucial Committee Formation:
In December 2017, responding to AITEEA and sister association AIBSNLEA's request, BSNL Management established a committee chaired by Arundhati Panda Madam to address the 22820 matter.
Thorough Representation and Transparency:
AITEEA meticulously presented the issue, offering a comprehensive representation supported by substantial documentation, dispelling any doubts the committee might have had.
SNEA's Obstructive Actions:
Leveraging its majority status, SNEA derailed the issue by incorporating it into their general demand to extend the 22820 to the JTOs of all subsequent batches regardless of its eligibility criteria (E1A). This maneuver was recognized by the committee and contributed to the denial of the 22820 resolution.
Shift in Alliances:
Disappointingly, following SNEA's interference, AIGETOA ended its association with AITEEA and AIBSNL to form a joint alliance with SNEA.
Persistent Dedication: Despite setbacks, AITEEA remained unwavering and resubmitted the 22820 concern to the Honorable Minister of Communication.
Ministerial Intervention:
The Honorable Minister of Communication directed Sh. Anand Kumar, his OSD, to conduct a thorough examination of the matter.
High-Profile Dialogue:
A pivotal meeting was convened at Sanchar Bhawan in 2019, exclusively focusing on the 22820 issue. Esteemed officials including Sh. A. N. Rai, ITS, Sh. Saket Kumar, IAS, and Sh. Pawan Gupta, Director PSU, deliberated on this issue.
Advocacy Persistence:
AITEEA's representatives, including Sh. Manoj Singh, GS AITEEA, and Sh. Jitendra Nath, AGS AITEEA, eloquently presented the 22820 issue during this meeting.
Dispelling Misconceptions:
BSNL attempted to exploit the Shailendra Singh case to mislead DoT officials. AITEEA convincingly clarified that this specific case was unrelated to the broader basic pay anomaly affecting 3000 executives.
Navigating Legal Challenges and Resolution:
The stumbling block emerged in the form of the Shailendra Singh case decision, which posed a barrier to resolving the 22820 matter.
Legal Pursuit for Justice:
As an aggrieved third party representing 4500 pay anomaly bearers, AITEEA approached the Honorable Delhi High Court to challenge the decision in the Shailendra Singh case.
Legal Progress:
While the Honorable Delhi High Court didn't condone the delay, it directed AITEEA to file a review application for the Shailendra Singh case before PCAT Delhi, citing the P. Savita v UoI case.
Persistent Advocacy:
In a remarkable move, GS AITEEA personally represented the association before PCAT, advocating for the review application, which was scheduled for consideration on 21.07.2023.
Continued Legal Proceedings:
PCAT duly issued a notice to BSNL, demanding a response.The case is set for further deliberation on 21.08.2023, signifying ongoing efforts to resolve the 22820 issue.
AITEEA: Committed to settle Pay Loss (22820) Issue: Guided by the determined leadership of its fearless General Secretary, Sh. Manoj Singh, AITEEA is poised to initiate a robust and impactful mass movement with a singular focus on addressing the pay loss issue (22820) in the near future, contingent upon securing substantial support through the upcoming Membership Verification (MV) process. Noteworthy is the fact that AITEEA stands apart as the sole association that orchestrated a bold agitation right at the BSNL Corporate Office in New Delhi in January 2021, rallying for rectifying pay loss, establishing standard pay scales, and advocating for the JTO to SDE promotion, all specifically pertinent to the 2007-08 batch JTOs and 2010 batch JAOs. Remarkably, this action transpired despite the limitations in the association's membership strength.
- In this intricate journey of advocacy and challenges, AITEEA has demonstrated resolute commitment, transparent efforts, and legal acumen in its pursuit of justice for pay anomalies, despite obstacles from SNEA and AIGETOA.

Dear Friends;
AITEEA has drawn attention of the BSNL management vide letter in the attachment dated-31.07.2023, for delay in implementation of the facilities for the Divangjans (PwBDs) in BSNL.
In this regard a letter with details of facilities like-
a) Reservation in Promotion, implementation of special CL.
b) Grievance redressing officer at circle level.
c) Relaxation in online attendance system.
d) Proper implementation of transfer and posting policy as envisaged by DoPT.
e) Travel allowances as per DoPT.
f) Work and post allocation as per disability
g) Travel allowances as per DoPT guideline, etc.
Wherein GS, AITEEA has requested for fast track implementation of the facilities envisaged under Disability Act-2016.
01.08.2023 _AITEEA writes letter to Hon. Dir (HR), BSNL regarding extension of facilities as per disability act-2016 to Dibyangjans (PwBDs) in BSNL.
- One association which is in Majority Status for the last 3 years...ie. Massiah
- 1st gave in writing to Management that they will never claim 22820/ for any batches post 2005...a blunder which they can never correct. No association ever do such a childish act while dealing with management on executives issues, but they did...
- Again they repeated this childish act in recently filed OA on pay loss case in PCAT Delhi by including a person as applicant who had been party in the earlier lost case. PCAT not only dismissed the case but fined them too. Through their action, they always tried to kill and close the pay loss issue forever...
- Similarly they put a demand of cascading and Std Pay scale E2/E3 wef 01.01.2000 to derail the STD pay scale issue which was almost near to settlement.
- Think! Can you still expect, they will work for you?
- Come to other tall claimer...which is Support Association for the past 3 years and was Majority association in last term...
- They openly asked before Pay loss committee.....either extend the pay benefits to all post 2007 recruits including DR DGMs or close the chapter for DR 2007/08 JTOs and 2010 DR JAOs and thereby did everything to make the committee report negative due to increased financial burden.
- They both together created all obstacles to delay and stop our promotion from JTO to SDE... starting from ENK CAT/HC to JBP CAT.
- At a time they formed a Joint Forum to sabotage the promotion avenues of DR 2007/08 and junior batches as you may see the provisions/clauses they drafted jointly in the earlier approved so called CPSU or even may go through the recently notified MSRR...the same things get reflected here too.
- If you want to forget these all and wanted to choose among these two so called BANDAR, BAKRI ,Sanp & MEDHAK in their own language...then you are definitely contributing for your sufferings.
- So, it's a humble request to you all, Please choose those who are fighting genuinely, wisely on our issues starting from court to Management to Ministry despite all constraints in terms of resources and membership count.
- Please choose AITEEA... your own Association
08.07.2023: DR JTO 2007/2008 and DR JAO 2010 batches:
- Dear Friends and Fraternity,
-
Warm greetings!
In light of the ongoing membership change window, where you have the opportunity to decide your affiliation with various associations, it is crucial to reflect upon those who have genuinely supported your cause and those who have merely pretended to do so. Over the past two MVs (Membership Verification), you have given a chance to two associations and witnessed their performance in the majority status.
Yet, the issues and agenda of the past decade remain unchanged:
Your Pay Loss issue.
Your Stand Pay Scale issue.
Your shrinking Medical benefits and obsolete TA/DA.
Your stagnant increment on scale upgradation.
Your 3rd PRC (Pay Revision Committee) issue.
And many more...
Therefore, it is imperative to choose wisely. -
By enrolling with AITEEA, your association will symbolize an unwavering commitment to addressing our shared concerns. We take ownership of our battle and consolidate our strength under the united front of AITEEA, as all other options have already been exhausted in the past two MVs.
Together, let's forge ahead and champion the cause that matters most to us.
17.06.2023 Message from AITEEA CHQ Desk:
- Dear Fraternity;
- GS AITEEA once again writes a letter to Honorable CMD for earliest DPC and promotion of the around 100 numbers of left out JTOs of 2008 batch. As there are sufficient number of vacancy available in SDE cadre to promote all the JTOs of 2008 batch.
- Dear Fraternity;
- Yesterday our 22820 review case listed in PCAT Delhi.
- Sh Ashish Karn, AIP AITEEA & Sh Amit Yadav, AGS HQ represented this matter before PCAT Delhi in person.
- Matter has been adjourned with direction for 28.07.2023.
- We are hopeful of getting our basic 22820 from the date of joining.
- Dear Friends;
- In AITEEA led Standard Pay Scale case at CAT Kolkata, DoT has eventually filed its reply dated 09.02.2023. DoT has reiterated its earlier stand and sang the same song.
- After filing our reply tentatively before 22.02.2023, AITEEA will finally push it for final arguments. Things are going positive & we are hopeful of favourable outcome.
- On 01.01.2010 our DA was 30.9% and initial basic was Rs19020/. Therefore total Basic plus DA was 24897.18 ( rounded off to Rs 24900/). Now after 13 years, in 2023 basic is Rs 29720 and DA is 201.2%. Therefore presently basic plus DA is Rs 89516.64 ( rounded off to Rs 89520/). It means 24900 goes to 89520 in 13 years. If we calculate, it comes an annual increment of 10.344%. Round it off to 10.3%. Now as we had initial loss of basic was 22820 - 19020 = 3800, initial combined loss of basic & DA (as of 01.01.2010) of 30.9% comes to Rs 4974/. If we take average age of an employee at joining as 27 years, one will serve 33 years. Please observe the monthly loss w.r.t this Rs 4974 after 33 years with that annual increment of 10.3%. It comes to Rs 126385/. The same after 32, 31, 30 & 29 year are 114583, 103883, 94182 & 85387 respectively. Last 5 year average monthly basic plus DA comes to Rs 104884/. Half of 104884 is Rs 52442/. Therefore after opting higher pension we are going to get a monthly pension reduced by more than 50k. Just forget the loss of salary in crores throughout this 33 years of service. Forget the EPF lumpsum corpus in tunes of 50 lakh accumulated in 33 years of service. But it will be unbearable to have a monthly pension reduced by more than 50k per months. Our career has already been compromised. Now let us at least have my genuine pension.

19.01.2023 Campaign for submission of 'Pay Loss' representation through proper channel to the Hon. Dir (HR), CO, New Delhi
- Dear Fraternity,
- GREETINGS!!
- As per resolution by AITEEA CEC Dated-19.11.2022 a common representation of grievance of 'Pay loss' has been prepared by the Team AITEEA.
- We have been forced to face direct monthly monetary pay loss of Rs.14068/- (Fourteen thousand sixty eight) on Pre-revised 9850/- basic and a loss of Rs.17541/- (Seventeen thousand Five hundred forty one) on 22820/- as basic pay as on today excluding the loss on EPF, Gratuity etc, since out set of our career.
- The culprit was none other than the present Majority Association who had given written submission to BSNL Management 'un-eligibility and non-extension of 2nd Pay revision benefits' beyond 2005 batch. Similarly deceit in 2012 strike by them is well known to all. The so called Messiah of Direct Recruits, after getting majority tag destroyed the career and future of all DRs proving their antipathy to their own colleagues and juniors who have been on their target since 2009. Following the same without having any repentance on their deeds against the DR fraternity they increased the residency period in JTO Cadre from 3 years to 12 years for promotion to SDE cadre, thus destroying the career of GATE recruited GE JTOs who were recruited with RR having residency period of 3 years.
- In MSRR too they have taken relaxation for their batches ( 2001 and 2002) only and left other batches like 2005, 2007, 2008 SRD 2013 and GATE 2016 at the mercy of Management. Continuing their same agenda, MA took all effort to make our core issue 'Pay Loss' dead and created an atmosphere of deep despair among us to accept the pay loss as it is our fate. But AITEEA assures all 2007-08 fraternities that we are neither going to accept it nor going to surrender at any cost; we will stand up with more & more strength upon each such deceit by them.
- Now the time has come, when we should recollect our energy and get ready for final battle to achieve our core issue i.e. 22820 for E1A recruited Executives.
- Promises for 22820 by Majority & Support Associations in last MV have been proving to be fake and propaganda only, as no, so called OBs are there to ask questions about this issue. We should untidily start a movement to re-knock the door of top Management for settlement of our core basic pay anomaly issue (22820).
- All of you are requested to send a readily available representation as hereunder through proper channel and ensure it to reach to the top Management.
- We are hopeful that we will receive all our legitimate dues one day despite all odds.
- Friends,
- GS AITEEA writes to Hon. CMD, BSNL n the issue of left out promotions of 2008 batch.
- Friends,
- The standard pay scale case filed and being fought by AITEEA in Hon. CAT, Kolkata has reached to next mile stone. BSNL has submitted its reply in CAT Kolkata, thereto AITEEA has submitted its rejoinder. While reply of DoT is still pending. AITEEA will plead for argument as DoT has not submitted its reply in last 7 hearings.
- Next date of hearing is scheduled on 24.02.2023. We are hopeful of positive outcome very shortly.
- Friends,
- GS AITEEA wrote a letter to Honorable CMD for deliberate victimization of Sh CP Soni (HR No- 201001149) just for pursuing his own MT case in Honorable CAT Jabalpur. Undoubtedly this transfer order in mid session is issued in active collusion with an association claiming to be DR Association with whom MT aspirants have conflict of interest in career and promotion in the department. This MT case in Hon. Court was purely professional not personal. This unwarranted transfer order has put the executive 600 Km away from the present place of posting while he was nowhere in longest stay list. This is gross injustice not to him only but also to all the executives who are pursuing their injustices in courts as per dictum of constitution & law of land.
- We all have to unite and fight collectively against the unprofessional attitude of section of Management with hand in glove with so called DR Association, otherwise we will also meet the same injustice fate for pursuing our Pay loss/22820/E2-E3/Career progression etc. The attitude of this so called DR association is in totally against DR Community in respect to our professional career related issues. They already have made huge loss to our Salary, Pay scale and career. Recent draft on MSRR is no exception.
- Spearheaded by the GS AITEEA a virtual conference was held on 11.08.2022 involving all the CHQ Members. The meeting lasted for 2 Hrs. The main agenda points, discussed were as- 1) Devising roadmap/Struggle for getting our due right of 2nd pay revision i.e getting 22820 Pay Loss issue - The 2nd pay revision due from 01.01.2007 was implemented in BSNL in 2009. Right from the outset of our career we were thrown into pay loss by giving written submission to management for not extending the benefits to executives recruited after 01.01.2007 based on their own whims and ill intention. The total loss has now reached up to around 25,000/Month. In addition it has cumulative effects in terms of losses on EPF contribution, total EPF corpus and Pension, Outdoor medical, SAB contribution and other terminal benefits. These losses will continue to swell throughout our career and undoubtedly our misery too. We have already been deceived many times in the last 12 years and need not recall the most recent in the previous MV till now. The formation of the pay loss committee was only on paper and never existed in reality. These all are very well planned to kill our rights.
- To move ahead in resolution, it is decided that a well documented Representation will be prepared and will be sent to the corporate office through proper channel with an advance copy to the CO, New Delhi, by the individuals of 2k7 & 8. Details will be shared soon.
- A lunch hour demonstration at each Circle level with due information to circle administration is under active consideration. Details will be shared soon.
- We have already lost more than 2 years in false promises. Such false promises undoubtedly have dented our issue. All sufferers are requested to ignite him and wake up for a fresh struggle and get rid of deceits and join the movement.
- This movement will also make the management aware from OA level to Corporate level about the pay loss being faced by a selected group of executives for so long.
- 2) E2-E3 scale –This case which involves DoT also is in an advanced stage at CAT, Kolkata. The next hearing date is scheduled on 15.12.2022. DoT has been escaping so far from submitting its reply, while BSNL has submitted its reply. We are very hopeful of getting a positive outcome soon.
- The management is now in opinion that the case as closed at DoT end. Thanks to the pseudo DR Messiaha association for putting best to bury the issue. But we assure the case won’t close until a single sufferer accepts the degradation and we are not going to accept and surrender. In no case our scale can be degraded unless the whole batch has made a fault amounting to gross punishment. 3) Promotion of Left out JTO (2k7-8)- GS AITEEA will be visiting soon to Corportae office to raise the issue once again and to issue promotion order of all the remaining 2k7-8 left out JTOs. Detail will be updated after the meet.
- In the backdrop of the deceits and prevailing atmosphere of despair among the fraternity of 2k7-8 DR sufferers, we have to stand more strongly as the path has been made more difficult. More than 2 years of inactions in our issues has made the issues blunt. We have to sharpen the struggle and have to stand more strongly together.
- Yesterday, GS AITEEA wrote a letter to Director (HR) for the earliest promotion of the left out 2008 Batch JTOs. It was emphasized that there is no shortage of vacancies in SDE Cadre as revealed in RTI. The last promotion order was issued on 31.12.2021, since then more than 9 months has passed and a small portion of DR JTO of 2008 batch who are around 100, still deprived of their first promotion even after a service period of around 12 years.
- A copy is also given to the sister executive associations along with Chairman/Convener of AUAB. GS (AITEEA) also informed about the despair prevailing among the deprived group. It is requested to CO, New Delhi to fast track the promotion of left out 2008 Batch JTO to avoid any litigation.

- AITEEA heartily congratulates the new CHQ team and wish them all the best.
- AITEEA CHQ expresses its heartiest congratulations to all the qualified officers of BSNL in the internal MT exam held in March 2019.
- AITEEA is of clear opinion since beginning that a fast track promotion mechanism must be evolved in BSNL to give an opportunity to the deserving and capable candidates among the internal talents to reach the highest position in BSNL. We have been advocating for internal MT for a long with a request to divert the entire external quota too for the deserving officers of BSNL. When BSNL is having a pool of capable officers with sufficient academic qualifications and well experience in the telecom domain what is the need to go for recruiting from open market?
- By diverting all the vacancies of external to internal quota, it will be win-win situations for both the Company/BSNL and its executives. On one side BSNL will get a capable and experienced officers to take on the challenging responsibilities on the other side internal talents will have a sense of satisfaction that the Company and its management recognise their talent and their contributions. This will again result in higher productivity and revenue growth for the Company.
- We again congratulate all the selected officers and wish them all the best for their GD/PI.
- Today a very successful meeting of AITEEA UPE Circle conducted. GS and AIP also attended the meet and updated the members on various issues of concern with an emphasis on the unity of the deprived lot for any success on our issues of pay loss, career progression and other justified demands. In addition to them Shri Zamirul Hasan and Shri Satish Soni also took part from CHQ. So many our friends from sister associations SNEA and AIGETOA also graced the occasion and deliberated on the issues. All stressed upon to bring unity among us and work together for the common cause and settlement of our long pending dues.
- AITEEA CHQ thanks and congratulates Mr Vijai Singh ji CS UPE, Shri Vipul Mohan ji and their team for such a nice and well organised meeting.
- Dear friends, today GS AITEEA along with AIP and AGS (HQ) held a meeting with GM Estt on the issue of Pay loss committee. GS requested for the reconstitution of the committee formed on the pay loss/22820 issue after the transfer of PGM Pers to CNTx North. GM Estt assured us that he'll positively look into the issue and shall discuss it with the higher authorities
- Friends,
- In the Annual General Meeting of All India Telecom Executive & Engineers Association [AITEEA] held on 11th of June, 2022 at ALTTC Ghaziabad, following resolutions were passed by the AITEEA members present in the meeting:
- 1. AITEEA demands immediate roll out of 5G enabled 4G equipment on Pan India Basis in All BTS sites without any further delay.
- 2. AITEEA demands administrative allotment of mid band 5G Spectrums by DoT and its trial viability to be checked and explored by BSNL.
- 3. AITEEA will continue to raise the issue of 22820/ at all the available platforms including AUAB. AITEEA will consistently follow the review OA against the Judgement in the OA – 3208/2011 case at PCAT New Delhi on pay anomaly issue.

- 6. AITEEA supports & will consistently pursue all pending promotions among all the cadres (JTO/JAO to DGM/CAO) including Civil & Electrical stream.

- 8. AITEEA supports & will continue to fight against Pay anomaly issue of SRD & GATE JTOs before BSNL Management.
- 9. AITEEA will consistently pursue Management for clearing all SAB contribution, given that even the partly approved SAB amount is not being deposited by BSNL for more than 18 months.
- 10. AITEEA supports continuation of BSNL MRS Policy. In addition to the existing BSNLMRS policy, if any Health insurance is proposed by BSNL Management, the premium is to be bear by BSNL Management not by BSNL employee.

- 16. AITEEA supports 3rd PRC demand of AUAB in anticipation that AUAB will raise its voice for all left out issue of 2nd PRC.
- Let us together for the above and succeed.
- Dear Friends,
- As you are aware, our Association AITEEA is going to have its 3rd All India Conference cum Annual General meeting on 11th June at ALTTC Ghaziabad, we heartily invite all the friends and fraternity from the executive community to join this program.
- We will discuss/deliberate on the developmental plan of our beloved Company BSNL as initiated by GoI and how we can contribute more to increase the revenue of the Co. and bring it back again in profit. We will also discuss the issues of concern, affecting the young officers and will decide our future action plan.
- More the participation and views of the officers in the meeting, it will result in a better and effective decision.
- Therefore we request all our friends, specially the DR JTO 2007/08 from the NCR region or the nearby circles to reach Student Centre, ALTTC Ghaziabad on 11th June by 9:30 Hrs and be a part of this very important program.
- Let us together decide the path ahead…
- Today GS wrote to Hon MoC with a request to intervene and direct DoT officials for the early settlement of the long pending issue of Standard Pay Scale in BSNL affecting young executives.
- Friends, Today again DoT stated its stand negatively on our very genuine but long pending issue of Standard Pay Scale E2/E3. It is the result of the cheap politics of some associations in BSNL. The greedy attitude of some associations in terms of cascading demand and others readiness to dilute the Pay Scale and eligibility criteria in the new JTO RR to lure, retain their members and award them promotion, they have already tried their best to kill this issue in the last 12 years.
- All other CPSUs having similar intermediate Pay scales like FCI have settled such issues years back, but due to self centred and selective approach of major associations in BSNL, Standard Pay scale issue has just became a tool to attract the affected members facing pay loss, get votes in the MV or add members during membership change window. These associations are enjoying subscription at the cost of the suffering lot. Very unfortunate!
- AITEEA just after its inception suggested a well justified and feasible solution on Standard Pay Scale E2/E3 issue through its letter to Joint Secretary, DoT in which there was almost nil financial implications on account of pension contribution and also no disturbance to the existing assured 5 promotions to the executives of BSNL as per EPP. (Letter attached below).
- But neither any major association nor the DoT/BSNL was interested to settle the issue rather they wanted to drag it in one or other way for the benefits known to them. They are still continuing the same.
- Still, it may get settled in line with, as suggested by AITEEA.
- So, we again request all the responsible associations in BSNL to please let we again discuss this proposal with BSNL Management/DoT and get it settled without any further delay in the best interest of all the executives.
- Today on dated 09.05.2022, an online meeting of CHQ & Circle Office Bearers held. Following resolutions adopted:
- 1. Once again we all AITEEAns reaffirmed our commitment for our 22820 & Standard Pay Scale issue.
- 2. In the coming AUAB protest on 3rd PRC, Our participation will subject to their inclusion of left out issues of 2nd PRC (22820, E2 E3 & SAB). We have already apprised AUAB about this matter in the last meeting.
- 3. We will continue to fight for fair transfer policy among all cadres.
- 4. In all sort of Health insurance, premium must be born by BSNL Management along with continuation of BSNL MRS.
- 5. It was decided to call for one day mass C/L in support of our long pending 22820 issue.
- In continuum, it was decided that our 3rd All India Conference/ Annual General meeting is to be held on 11th June, 2022 at ALTTC Ghaziabad. In this regard All the CHQ & Circle Office bearers and other Common members are requested to attend the same.
- In effect the program is as such:
- Event: 3rd All India Conference/ Annual General Meeting.
- Date: 11th June 2022 (Second Saturday)
- Venue: ALTTC Ghaziabad.
- Team AITEEA
- Today all the constituent unions and associations of AUAB met again online and discussion took place to bring consensus among all the unions/association on the issues to be taken up through the platform of AUAB. The meeting lasted for more than 2 hours with no conclusion.
- GS AITEEA again requested all the unions/associations to take up the left out issues of the 2nd PRC viz. Std Pay Scale, Pay loss of post 2007 recruits and the pending SAB too along with the 3rd PRC. But no unions/association agreed for it except AIGETOA which also supported Std Pay Scale issue E2/E3.
- At last no consensus reached and meeting ended inconclusively
- Constituent unions and associations of AUAB met today on 27th April 2022 in Delhi and discussed various issues related to BSNL employees including the 3rd PRC and GHI. GS BSNLEU, GS NFTE along with representatives of SNEA, AIGETOA and other unions/associations attended the meeting. Our association AITEEA represented by our GS Mr Manoj Singh.
- GS AITEEA raised the long pending left out issues of 2nd PRC and the Standard Pay Scale E2/E3 for JTO/SDE, which is affecting young employees of BSNL in terms of pay loss for more than a decade.GS requested all the constituent associations/unions to support the issue and place it in the charter of demand of AUAB along with 3rd PRC, so that no group of employees is left behind. Taking up of these issues along with 3rd PRC for their resolution are also necessary to garner a larger support of employees for the success of any proposed agitation/organisation activity.
- Discussion on the Group health Insurance was also taken place and it was opined that the premium of the GHI should not be transferred on the shoulders of the employees but must be paid by BSNL.
- At last, all the leaders decided to meet further very soon to finalise the issues and organisational action plan.
- On 12 th March in open session of 7th AIC of AIBSNLEA at Chennai:
- General Secretary, AITEEA was invited as special guest in 7th All India Conference of AIBSNLEA in Chennai at RGMTTC.
- GS AITEEA raised following issues:
- A. Survival of BSNL
- a. Safeguarding properties of BSNL: In respect of survival of BSNL, GS mentioned recent movements led by Common Executive Fraternity of BSNL at ALTTC against arbitrary PO issued to take over ALTTC for free & later it took shape of All India movement. On 21st February, DoT issued unilateral Presidential order to take over ALTTC worth asset of BSNL valued Rs. 6000 Cr & later DoTs local unit NTIPRIT issued order to take over from CGM ALTTC. GS mentioned that how the first tweet on 22nd Feb morning by AITEEA was instrumental to make spark to initiate this big movement. Later it forced DoT to make Status Quo on issued PO. It was big victory of Common employee of BSNL. Later AUAB effectively raised this issue.
- b. GS mentioned that DoT in isolation unilaterally wanted to take over Rs. 6000 Cr. Asset of BSNL for totally free whereas Our 3rd PRC is linked with profitability of our Company. On one hand Govt is taking over our valuable assets for totally free on other hand our day to day petty entitlements are denied including timely disbursement of salary.
- Moreover ALTTC is already listed in DIPAM for land monetization plan of Union Govt whereas DoT is contradicting the Policy mandate of PMO by unilateral take over.
- GS raised the issue of dissolution of NATFM Hyderabad whereas only 5 accounts persons were generating revenue of 5 Cr. per year. It is beyond intellect why BSNL Management is closing down its revenue generating centres.
- GS emphasised the need of unity, awareness & hard work to regain the glory of BSNL.
- c. Allotment of 4G Spectrum: A lot has been told & heard in respect of allotment of 4G spectrums & bearing of its Capital Expenditure by Union Govt. In the recent meeting of AUAB, DoT updated about Proof of Concept of 4G in BSNL through indigenous 4G technology. However GS doubted about it as he mentioned that for the last 7 years, we are getting only & only assurances & promises. Still indigenous 4G technology is day dream & all the experiments will be done on BSNL at the cost of revenue & customer base.
- GS mentioned that whenever there is assembly election & question about survivability of BSNL is asked by common man , it appears that IT cell of Govt. infuses the news through media about soon BSNL will get 4G. Irony is that Media houses cannot be questioned about the source of this news as per existing rules; therefore plan of assurances & promises by Govt. carries on from one election to another one. GS raised that why Reliance JIO or AIRTEL has not been restricted to indigenous technology for 4G.
- B. HR Issues:
- 1. Standard Pay Scale issue:
- GS raised this issue in the line that DoT should learn it from FCI. In FCI same problem of intermediate Pay scale existed but through simple PO, they replaced it by E2 without taking care of any cascading effect or its other implications. In other words this matter settled in one go by FCI but DoT with some sister associations derailed for undue demand of cascading / date of efficacy of this from year 2000. GS mentioned that HR policy of DOT/ BSNL is glaring case study for research students that how simple issues can be derailed & dragged for years for getting sadist pleasure. GS informed that an important case in CAT Kolkata is being fought by AITEEA.
- 2. Pay Fixation Issue (22820 issue): GS said that it is pathetic to note that when BSNL Executives are demanding for 3rd PRC, there are more than 5000 Executives who have been denied their legitimate 2nd PRC benefits & therefore these sections of Executives are receiving Rs 20000 per month loss in their salary.
- GS thanked Sh Prahlad Rai ji, Ex GS AIBSNLEA for the support he extended on this issue by making Committee on this matter after 1st MV. However this matter is still pending due to malafide submission to Committee by one sister association. GS mentioned that whenever one association is trying for resolution of one issue for one section, sister associations must come forward to support that cause so that a relief window could be opened. Then only that window can be made door for all sections.
- GS once again showed his commitment for resolution of 22820 issue.
- 3. Cadre issue of Direct Recruited Executive:
- GS raised Cadre issue of Directly Recruited Executives (DRE) in this AIC. He said that ambitions & aspirations of DRE cannot be compared to that of DoT era JTOs/ JAOs. These Direct Executives are coming through GATE/ All India Competitions & having highest qualifications like B. Tech. M.Tech / CA ICAW etc. Therefore their career progression must be fast than that coming from Non- Executive to Executive Cadre. Separate career path will only justify their Direct Recruitment & will be in the best interest of Our Organization.
- 4. Fair Transfer Policy: GS mentioned that BSNL Management failed to devise & implement fair transfer policy which is demotivating & frustrating to the Executives. Many of the Executives are staying on one location for more than 20 years whereas young Officers who recently came under Rule - 8 are being victimised & transferred on arbitrary pick & choose basis. GS mentioned about one case of lady officer who recently joined under rule 8, has been once again transferred on promotion with flawed transfer order. GS also mentioned about his own victimization as he being transferred to UK from AITEEA HQ. GS mentioned that out of more than 3000 JTO to SDE Promotions, 45 Executives have been arbitrarily chosen to fill the dock with the disguised support of sister association. Horse trading & malafide intentions are also smelled in this transfer ignoring longest stay of many Executives in same cadre.
- Finally GS thanked GS AIBSNLEA & All the CHQ & Circle Office Bearers of AIBSNLEA for patient listening & acknowledging and supporting the issue of Direct Recruits. GS wished them all success to 7th AIC of AIBSNLEA.
- VEER MADAKKAM .
- Thanks and Congratulations! Friends…
- AITEEA initiated protest against the unilateral decision of DoT on taking over of the land/building assets of ALTTC forced the Govt to reconsider its decision and maintain status quo on taking over of assets of ALTTC, BSNL.
- AITEEA under the leadership of our GS initiated and started the protest movement through a forum of all the major associations at ALTTC against an unilateral decision of DoT.
- Later on the movement started on social media/twitter too with support of all BSNL employees, which ultimately resulted in withdraw of the order and maintenance of status quo.
- But friends, remember its an interim arrangement only and we should be ready to fight against any such decision of Govt. in future and should not allow them to work against interest of BSNL.
- Today, the Estt Cell of BSNL Corporate Office issued detailed guidelines on the settlement of the Superannuation Pension Scheme i.r.o. BSNL recruited employees.
- All Circle representatives are requested to make aware all members/executives regarding this and ensure all friends complete the required formalities on part of employees in due course of time.
- As we are aware, some of our friends could not join the promoted post SDE due to their circles got changed along with the promotion order. They have already been waiting for their very 1st promotion for more than a decade, now once its happened after such a long time, it came with a circle change, which is not at all justified given that this promotion is not going to monetarily benefit the executives by a single paisa.
- Today, GS AITEEA wrote to CMD, BSNL requesting him to allow the promoted officers to join in their present Circles itself thereby avoiding any future litigation in the seniority issues.
- ALTTC Ghaziabad issued schedules and instructions regarding various Time scale up gradation training programs under EPP for the quarter Jan-March 2022.
- Pers Cell of BSNL, today issued an order extending the joining time for the recently promoted officers in the cadre of SDE.
- With profound grief AITEEA CHQ mourns on the sad demise of the father of our AIP Mr Prashant Nag.
- AITEEA expresses its deepest condolences to our AIP Mr Nag and his family during this difficult time. May his father's precious soul rests in peace.
- Today on 5th Jan GS AITEEA along with the VP met PGM (Pers) on DPC issue of the left out DRs. .
- We requested PGM (Pers) to accommodate the left out JTOs of 2008 batch in the promotion list by taking in account all the vacancies available till date. But PGM (Pers) did not respond positive on it and asked us to wait till vacancies are created on account of any promotion in AGM grade or if few people refuse to join the promoted post in recent order. .
- On retention of the executives and allowing those to join in the same circle for whom circles are changed along with promotion, he replied as of now its not possible and executives need to join in the allotted circles only. We asked him if there is any shortage of officers in a circle, let people be relocated based on the longest stay particulars, but he refused to discuss it. So friends, Only option left is the consistent struggle. .
- Friends, As you are aware, some of our friends got their circle changed along with the promotion order. Fact being a number of executives in the SDE cadre are staying in so many circles for decades and instead of relocating them to fulfil a shortage if any, the DRs of 2008 chosen for it on their very much delayed promotion. Its very unfortunate and AITEEA resists it strongly. Accordingly, GS AITEEA wrote to Director (HR) requesting for the retention of these affected officers in their present circles and to allow those to join there itself on the promoted post.
- Dear All, .
- Today I along with VP, AITEEA met Director (HR) & GM (SR) at BSNL CO on the issue of promotion of the left out 2008 batch JTOs & arbitrary transfers of promoted Officers. We expressed our strong resentment in this regard. Director (HR) assured for an amicable settlement. .
- GS, AITEEA. .
- Friends,
- AITEEA UP(East) delegation consisting of Shri. Zamirul Hasan AGS CHQ, Shri Vijai Singh CS UP (East), Shri. Utkarsh Agarwal CP UP (East), Shri. Piyush Sharma DS NTR LW, Shri. Pawan Mishra and other friends met Director HR during his visit to Lucknow. AGS presented a beautiful bouquet to DIR (HR) and CS has submitted our two point representation to him.
- We reminded him on the Pay loss issue (22820/ initial basic for Pre-revised E1A recruited executives). The team also requested him for the early conduction of supplementary DPC for JTO to SDE promotion to cover the left out DRs of 2008 batch.
- Friends, it is to be noted that AITEEA has already submitted its detailed representation of 22820/ issue on 22nd July 2021 itself.
- We requested DIR (HR) for the immediate resolution of the 22820/- pay loss issue and give justice to the aggrieved DR JTO of 2007 & 2008 batches. We told him that the deprived lot is looking towards him for justice.
- DIR (HR) told that he is aware of the issue and management is examining it. We requested him for its early resolution as it is pending for more than a decade.
- Let us together put in our effort to ensure justice for all.
- On this special day of our beloved BSNL, AITEEA CHQ extends very warm greetings to all the employees and the young fraternity of BSNL. Today, on BSNL Foundation Day let us all pledge to save BSNL and to protect the interests of the employees.
- Let us all resolve to fight united against any sinister move of Govt or the management against the interests of the Company and its employees.
- Today GS AITEEA wrote to the CMD, BSNL requesting for the immediate conduction of the supplementary DPC to fill up the remaining vacancies in the cadre of SDE (T) by promoting the left out DR JTOs of 2008 batch from the AIEL-2. It is to be noted here that a good number of vacancies remain unfilled in the recently issued promotion order on 8th July despite availability of the eligible and experienced officers in the AIEL. Management cannot make these officers to wait further as they are waiting for their very first promotion in BSNL for a long time.
- Let us together put in our effort to ensure justice for all.
- AITEEA congratulates all the executives/officers for their first promotion in BSNL from JTO (T) to the SDE(T) after waiting for a decade. AITEEA thanks CMD BSNL, Director (HR) for their kind approval and good gesture on this long pending issue. We thank GM (Pers) and his entire team of the personnel cell for ultimately making this order issuance possible. No doubt it took a long time but the voice of the young officers as continuously raised by AITEEA reached to the management and the promotions of the deprived lot started.
- It is a good start and we are extremely happy for all the promoted DR executives but definitely a sad part of the episode is also there and we feel sorry for our other younger brothers of DR 2008 batch who do not find their place in this order despite sufficient availability of vacancies to accommodate them too. Keeping a direct recruited graduate engineer waiting for his very first promotion for more than 10 years cannot be a good sign for a Company and AITEEA will fight and force the management to award the due promotion to the core executives of BSNL.
- Friends do not get disheartened, AITEEA assures the left out executives to take the battle forward and will do all possible to ensure justice for all. We will ensure the required pressure to get the left out officers promoted.
- AITEEA request BSNL management to immediately conduct DPC to fill up the remaining vacancies under seniority quota and promotion order must be issued to the eligible officers.
- Friends,
- As the case filed by the vested interests and members of the so called responsible associations at Jabalpur CAT dismissed on 1st July 2021, its high time to get the promotion order issued i.r.o. the JTO to SDE without any further delay to avoid any further conspiracy by these responsible.
- Accordingly GS AITEEA communicated to the Director HR through e-mail on 1st July itself and today we submitted our presentation in hard copy too to his office with a request not to allow any negative force to work against the DRs by ensuring promotion order get issued immediately.
- Let us hope management and other associations do not play any game again to stall the promotion of young officers.
- AUAB holds crucial discussions with the CMD BSNL. GS/representatives of various associations/unions took part in the meet and AITEEA represented by our GS Mr Manoj Singh. From the Management Side, Director (HR), Director (CFA), Director (CM), Director (EB), Director (Finance) and Senior Officers of the Corporate Office participated. Leaders of the AUAB forcefully demanded prompt up gradation of the BTSs, to immediately launch BSNL’s 4G service. Payment of salary on the due date of every month was prominently raised. Improving the FTTH service, improving the maintenance of transmission, as well as landline and broadband services, etc., was raised. Proposals of the Management for restructuring BSNL s manpower came under severe criticism. Regarding the Superannuation Benefits, it was firmly demanded that BSNL Management should immediately take steps to increase its contribution up to 30%. The BSNL Management’s policy of continuing to rely on the ITS officers to run the Company was severely criticized. Many other issues related to the employees and the Company s revival was also raised. .
- Friends,
- As per the invitation of AUAB, GS AITEEA Mr Manoj Singh today attended the meeting of AUAB and given his suggestions to strengthen and bring more active participation from the young officers of BSNL in the program of AUAB.
- On the issue of 4G to BSNL, he suggested AUAB to reach Hon SC. As rolling out of 4G services by BSNL is a purely policy decisions of GoI and the Management and delaying it again and again is debarring BSNL from the level playing. Therefore, the salary/PRC and other dues of employees cannot be linked to the profitability of the Company.
- GS AITEEA opined that if AUAB raise the issues affecting the young DR executives for years together like the pending JTO to SDE promotions, which don't have any financial implications, definitely 6000 young shoulders will get activated to take the battle forward & give recognition to the AUAB.
- The Convener and the Chairman of the AUAB appreciated the points raised by GS AITEEA and assured to take up the issues along with the left out issues of the 2nd PRC of which the most suffering lot are the young friends only.
- 2nd July AUAB will be meeting CMD BSNL; details will be updated accordingly...
- Team AITEEA
- Friends,
- Seasonal well wishers showing a deep concern on the forgotten issues to re-appear before you with a bunch of letters.
- Those who have already developed a tendency to play with your emotions are reappearing again as the membership change window is going to open soon. 15th June being very near, they started showing great concern on all the issues of DRs and the program in this direction already started with a letter on the SAB Contribution.
- Letter in different fonts and in different colors are already prepared on almost every issue viz the Pay Loss, Standard Pay Scale, Promotion DPC/LDCE etc. In this interval of 15th June to 15th July, a letter will be circulated to you on each day to show how much they care for you and your issues! Not only they write letters on issues but will also come with a fake, fabricated and scripted updates with a new time line for each issue settlement.
- Friends, One can very well see the updates on the issues:
- PAY LOSS/22820 ISSUE: Promised to settle through a Committee formation on it within 6 months.
- RESULT: Nil, no meetings, no update.
- STANDARD PAY SCALE: Promised to get it settled by persuasion in the DoT.
- RESULT: Nil, No meeting, no updates.
- JTO to SDE DPC: Promised the Promotion order within a month
- RESULT: Known to you all, no updates for the last 5-6 months
- HEALTH INSURANCE: Promised to get it funded by BSNL.
- RESULT: brought a self sponsored GHI scheme and made people to pay from their own pocket..
- SOCIAL SECURITY: Promised social security for all the executives.
- RESULT: What may be more unfortunate than making even the Compensation to the family of the deceased depend on ones contribution.
- SAB: Assured to bring the full 30% SAB for us.
- RESULT: Not even the 3% increase as already committed by the Ex-CMD. The existing SAB is also not being deposited in time.
- MONTHLY SALARY: Promised to ensure it is paid in time.
- RESULT: We all are witnessing.
- Friends, if you voted them to write the letter and show the Seasonal Concern, then congratulations! to you.
- But if you casted your vote to settle the issues, then their own committed time limit has also expired. Leave the issue settlement, effort itself is missing. Then what one can expect from them.
- So friends, now it is your turn to ask them the tough questions and dissociate yourself from them. Realize/Know your power. It is your support only that gives them power but they are doing other way. Instead of raising the suffering and concerns of the executives/members, they are batting from the Management side. So just do not let them misuse it.
- AITEEA strongly resists the provision of contribution from employees as a pre-condition for the Compensation to the families of the employees who lost their life while discharging their duty in BSNL:
- Dear friends,
- More than 150 our friends/colleagues lost their life while serving for the Company and the Nation as front line workers in this Covid-19 pandemic to maintain the uninterrupted telecom services which is very essential to prevent from and fight against Corona.
- We stand by the family affected as always and are ready to extend all our support but it s really very disappointing and painful to see that the so called responsible major unions/associations instead of forcing the management to compensate the families are shamelessly asking CHANDA/one day salary from employees to compensate the family. We all have always raised to such occasions and helped the families in the hours of need and will always continue doing so on our part but don't the BSNL management has a responsibility towards its employees who lost their life while working for the Company?
- When other organizations private or the Govt. are taking due care of their employees through all the means starting from organizing vaccination camp, covering them through medical/health insurance and providing adequate compensation in case of any unfortunate loss of life in this hours of crisis, BSNL management along with their follower unions/associations is busy in writing a very dark chapter in the history of CPSU and has set a very wrong precedence of employees welfare through employees contribution and Company/Govt has no responsibility. The management just ran away from its very basic duty to honor ones contribution to the organization who put his life in risk and lost it in serving the Company.
- Employees are now made to take care of their health and medical need on their own through self financed health insurance, self financed Term Insurance, are being denied their monthly salary in time and if some employees get infected during their duty and later on any unfortunate causality happens, the compensation to the families are made to depend on other employees contribution….Can you believe, we are working in a Central PSU?
- AITEEA appeals all our friends to take extra precautions and keep your good health as the top priority; all other things come later....Please Keep in mind how this management and the Company care for you and your family.
- Apart from the department of telecommunications, the company has also communicated these points to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) recently.
- AITEEA is of the view that if BSNL is to comply on these clauses, Government of India must compensate BSNL adequately for the losses it incurred due to delay in the 4G rollout.
- Dear Friends;
- As you all are aware, a fresh case on the Standard Pay Scale for the E1A recruited Executives was successfully filed by AITEEA in CAT Kolkata on 24.12.2020 after the submission of reply by BSNL and DoT in earlier case.
- The three OAs in this case are:
- 1. O.A. No.350 /1354/2020
- AITEEA represented by Hon. President Sh. Prasanta Kr Nag ji.
- 2. O.A.No.350 /1355/2020
- Sh. Subhankar Mondal ji,
- ACS, AITEEA, CTD
- 3. O.A. No.350/1356/2020
- Sh. Subhankar Rana
- AGS Legal AITEEA
- The hearing in this regard took place on 24.02.2021 in CAT Kolkata. The respondent lawyer (BSNL) was present. All the three cases have been accepted and the respondents have been directed to file their reply. The next date of the hearing is fixed on 11.05.2021
- Dear All Friends and Fraternity;
- AITEEA extends its heartfelt thanks & deep sense of gratitude to All our batch mates who participated in the peaceful protest by taking pain to travel long in this bad weather & pandemic led situation today on 15.01.2021 at BSNL CORPORATE OFFICE for our burning issue of 22820, DPC & E2 E3.
- AITEEA also extends its love & affection to all our bearers who applied casual leave in support of this great protest irrespective of Association & adhered to the unity of 2007 & 2008 batch for common cause.
- AITEEA assure our entire cadre that it will leave no stone unturned to get these issues to reach to the status of settlement.
- Yours Sincerely
- Manoj Singh
- GS, AITEEA
- Today on 15th Jan 2021, the young engineers of BSNL under the courageous leadership of our beloved GS Mr Manoj Singh gathered at BSNL Corporate Office and demonstration done in support of our long pending dues. Even some friends from distant circles also joined the program despite this Covid pandemic in addition to the Executives from NCR and nearby places. Slogans raised along with showing play cards in support of our following issues pertaining to the DR JTO 2007/08 and DR JAO 2010 batch.
- Pay loss issue of the post 2007 E1A Recruited Executives
- Standard Pay Scales for the JTO and the SDE Cadre
- Pending Promotion from JTO (T) to SDE (T) for a decade
- Friends, this demonstration at the corporate office is a beginning and AITEEA is going to launch a bigger and concluding movement in very near future to bring the pending dues of the deprived lot of BSNL Executives.
- Dear Friends,
- We have shown enough patience in the last more than 10 years. We have been focused and worked hard to make our beloved BSNL survive in its most crucial phase despite all odds.
- We just keep on believing on the BSNL management and other major associations to take care of our minimum career aspirations and the justified pay.
- But whether they really care? No. It's already established.
- When they took the highest ever pay benefit with 30% fitment during 2nd PRC, they simply ignored that a section of executives instead of getting PRC benefit got their salary reduced and the same is still continuing with cumulative effect.
- When they awarded promotions to more than 14000 executives in 2018, they just did not care for the direct recruited graduate Engineers waiting for their very first promotion for years together. They even searched for and explored all the options and ways to withheld it.
- Where is the committee on 22820 for E1A after MV as assured?
- Where is our promotion within a month after MV as committed?
- How long on similar type of seasonal promises, we keep on relying!!
- We need to make this Management known that we may not be taken for granted and the justified pay, promotion and a dignified career is our fundamental right.
- Do not wait others to come and fight for you. You and you only can change this standstill situation.
- So let us all irrespective of association be a part of the Peaceful Agitation call given by AITEEA on 15th Jan and reach BSNL Corporate office to show our pain before BSNL Management.
- All sufferer & aggrieved Executives are reaching BSNL Corporate office to make it a grand success with each and every single JTO of 2007/08 are requested to apply a C/L for 15thJan in support of protest for your own issues.
- Strive to get what u like or u will be forced to like what u get.
- - Team AITEEA
- Together We Can
- Dear Friends,
- We have already submitted several representations reminders & tried all other ways to get the management known about the frustration & resentments among the aggrieved fraternity. But not even a single issue of the DR executives of 2007 & 2008 batch has yet been resolved by the BSNL Management. We are facing Pay loss for the last 10 years, we are being denied our due promotion for years together and all the provisioned channels of promotions are either being litigated or being put on hold through conspiracies by one or other associations in a close co-ordination with the BSNL Management ….may it be the LDCE the DPC or the internal MT.
- As no other association is coming forward or is ready to take up our concerns to the management, AITEEA being led by the suffering officers has given a call for going on Organizational action on 15th January 2021 at BSNL Corporate Office.
- So, all the young officers of BSNL posted in the NCR or nearby circles are requested to be a part of this agitation by being physically present at Corporate Office on 15th Jan 2021. Irrespective of one s affiliation to an association, all please reach BSNL Corporate Office on 15th Jan @11:00 Hrs to show your resentment. Friends, we have to fight on our own no other will come for you as they are already being paid their due Pay and have got their promotion too well in time.
- It is needed to show the management that now it is enough and these sets of executives have really lost their patience and belief on this ignorant management. At the same time it is also to prove that to serve notice and going for agitation on the most genuine issues of the executives do not need a majority or support tag but a dedicated and courageous leadership and the same may be executed even with a very limited resources/members. Once our friends from NCR accompany us and reach BSNL Corporate Office on 15th Jan along with AITEEA representatives, it will pave the way for further mega agitation in future like the then AIGETOA gone for in 2013. And through such a big organizational movement we will definitely bring our justified pay of 22820/ too.
- Friends, they always have an excuse and justification for the non resolution of our issues, but can we believe it?
- The management and the major association both were assuring the promotion of the executives within a week or so till 18th December and by that time no obstacle was conveyed by either of them. But all of sudden now promotion/DPC i.r.o. JTO to SDE is being delayed/denied by the management citing the Jabalpur CAT case as the hindrance but thing to be noted here is that the picture was well clear to them as on 6th Nov itself.
- You all might have gone through the Hon court order where it was clearly mentioned that the respondent is directed to submit the reply within 4 weeks and till then no DPC/promotion should be conducted means stay was there on conduction of the DPC/promotion till Nov end only. Anyone with a simple understanding may well interpret this 2 line order of the Hon JBP CAT, but interpreting it in other sense and using it as a tool to delay the DPC further is beyond one s comprehension.
- In 2018 a major association made the management to interpret the judgment of the Hon HC Kerala opposite to what exactly Hon court directed and get the promotion order issues for its members. But in 2020 a major association fails to make management interpret a well clear 2 line order of the Hon JBP CAT correctly. The sad part is that at both the occasions only the young and the DR executives are the victims.
- BSNL management never honored its word as far as the HR issues of the young officers are concerned. The patience level of the major associations too needs to be applauded. As since July 2018, they had shown an exceptional level of patience on our issues of concerns.
- In past also, the management and the well wishers gave assurances to us many times but nothing happened on ground.
- So friends it is high time for us the deprived lot to get united for the common cause and fight on our own to get our rightful dues. Let us all show our concern and raise our voice as a Unit.
- Regards
- Team AITEEA
- In continuation of our earlier notice to BSNL management dated 10th Dec 2020 for Organizational action program on the issues of DR executives, Today GS AITEEA submitted a details of the pending issues and the proposed agitation program .
- Dear Friends,
- Today on dated 25.12.2020, AITEEA called a meeting of all the suffering Executives of 2007/08 batches irrespective of their association affiliation over present denial of DPC by the BSNL Management. A good number of executives from across the circles and associations attended the meet and opined on the issue of JTO to SDE promotion. Common members were shocked to know that promotion is not going to happen in near future.
- Most of the officers expressed their dissatisfaction over the approach and focus of the responsible associations on this burning issue and welcomed the move of serving the notice by AITEEA on the promotion issue.
- The representatives of the SNEA and AIGETOA from 2007/08 were urged by AITEEA to request their association to serve the notice for the Organization action when it has already been told by the management that promotion is not going to happen. Some friends from AIGETOA also made it known that they are going to call for mass CL to which all participant agreed & it was requested to go for even bigger organizational program. But we expect a synchronized agitation across the association. But if other associations are hesitant & reluctant in serving notice, bearer association AITEEA will have to go for it alone in its own limited resources.
- All the participants in the meeting stressed upon and asked the representatives of the majority and the support association to discuss it in their respective CHQs and press them to serve notice for the stronger organization action program as management has already passed so many earlier deadlines given on this very urgent issue having no financial implications. They agreed upon for the same.
- AITEEA CHQ thanks all the friends & fraternity for active participation of batch mates and showing their concern thereof.
- We once again appeal to all our suffering friends and fraternity to be ready for a big struggle as this time if elapsed blank, will never allow you to replenish the loss it will make.
- Regards
- Team AITEEA

- Team AITEEA
- Friends,
- Patience has its limit. Waiting for the last 3-4 years for this DPC to get through and promotion order be issued, not it is enough? LDCE is not taking place since last so many years, the never ending DPC work started in 2018 but not yet concluded despite we all put in our best effort to compile and send the necessary data to BSNL Corporate Office for preparing the AIEL .No channels of promotion is being made available for the GE JTO to have their very first promotion in BSNL even after serving for more than 11 years at executive level. Now all the limits of patience are over.
- Friends we are left with no choice except to adopt a path of organizational action to get our very genuine and long pending issue settled and accordingly AITEEA served notice to BSNL management regarding its agitation program wef 15th Jan 2021.
- CHQ calls upon all the Circle representatives and other activists to be ready and start mobilizing the executives for the proposed organizational actions.
-
Also to take part in the Agitation program @Corporate Office ,Please show your willingness here
- Today, GS AITEEA writes to Director HR on inordinate delay in issuing the promotion orders from JTO to SDE in Telecom Stream. Apprised Dir HR about frustration & resentment among young Direct Executives of BSNL.
- As usual the blame games started once again not the DPC or Promotion. It is very unfortunate to see that both the responsible associations on which the responsibility is there to settle the issues get involved in blame game after a case filed in the Jabalpur CAT. They seem to be more interested in demeaning one another than issue resolution. If we allow management to go at its own pace and give enough time/space for such an unfortunate thing to happen, people are there to use this time to conspire and create problems. Now why and whom to blame?
- It is clear that they are behaving like a typical politician who use to reap benefits of power and support at the cost of the suffering of his/her own followers/members and never allows their concern get addressed.
- Hon court has stayed the process of DPC till a reply is submitted by the respondent/BSNL. BSNL is given the opportunity to submit it at any time within 4 weeks and convene the DPC/issue promotion order thereafter. But instead of pressing management for the early submission of reply, they get busy in discussing all the court cases in past and present to prove who is the champion installing the promotions through court cases.
- AITEEA condemns the act of the people with such a narrow thinking and negative approach to create problems in the ongoing DPC through court cases without a merit in it. . Persons involved in Jabalpur case must understand that you people are not going to get anything out of it except delaying the process which in turn is going to affect you too equally.
- AITEEA requests BSNL management for the immediate submission of the suitable reply to Hon court and issues the due promotion of the executives, waiting for it for a decade.
- Today, CMD BSNL has approved contingency fund for a period of 5 months for the early OFC fault restoration and to improve up time of the circuits.
- Friends,
- Today GS AITEEA along with Mr Amit Verma visited the Corporate Office and met Dir (HR) on the long pending issues of pay loss and DPC i.r.o. the young executives of BSNL.
- GS discussed the issue of Pay loss as per our earlier submitted representation on it. He stresses upon the point how the young officers of BSNL post 01.01.2007 recruited on E1A Scale have been deprived from a justified basic pay and are facing a huge pay loss since last more than a decade. He also submitted that the BSNL management has already addressed similar pay loss issues multiple times after the 2nd PRC implementation as one time measure and through normal administrative orders, keeping in view the pay loss faced by particular set of executives.
- GS said why all such ideals/rules are being brought in while settling the issues i.r.o. the DR JTO of 2007/08 and JAO 2010 batch only and requested him to look into the issue on merit and treating them also members of the BSNL family like others. Dir (HR) listened all the justifications patiently and assured for reexamining the issue through a committee.
- GS also requested Dir (HR) for the immediate conduction of the DPC and issuance of the promotion order i.r.o. of the JTO (T) to SDE (T) promotion before Deepawali, as executives have already lost their many years of service.GS apprised him that the very slow and the negative approach of BSNL management in past regarding the resolution of the genuine issues has affected the motivation level of the officers and the same will definitely have an adverse effect on their productivity. So it’s high time, the management must recognize the long pending issues of the executives and settle these without any further delay. Director (HR) responded positively and said the process on the conduction of DPC is going on and promotion orders may be expected within a month or so.

- Today Pers Cell of the BSNL Corp office circulated the provisional AIEL in the cadre of JTO(Telecom)
- Today, GS AITEEA along with other CHQ members met GM (SR) with the issues of DRs. We sought time from the Director (HR) also but due to his busy schedule, he could not meet us but assured to discuss the issues in next few days. GS told GM (SR) regarding the anguish and resentment among the DR executives due to non issuance of their due promotions.
- AITEEA deplores the inordinate delay made by BSNL Management in issuing the promotion orders of JTOs in the Telecom Stream. Management still seems to be busy in searching one or other reason to withheld the due DPC of the DR executives despite everything made clear by the Hon HC, while dismissing the review petition.
- AITEEA submitted a representation too on the issue.
- Dear friends,
- Today VP AITEEA along with other friends met DGM Pers. in BSNL Corp office and enquired on the DPC progress i.r.o. the JTO to SDE promotions in the Telecom stream.
- After discussing the issue, it seems it is not going to happen soon. Pers. cell is still not clear on the criteria based on which an executive to be kept in the seniority list i.e. w.r.t. to the Ph I marks or Date of appointment despite a clear comment from the Hon court that it never issued any guidelines on the intra se seniority among DRs or among PRs and it has to be taken as usual/earlier practice . Its well known that the case and the directions/judgement of Hon court was only to decide how the inter-se-seniority between a Direct recruit and a promote is to be fixed. We do not have any doubt on the understanding of any officer in the pers cell but definitely there is a doubt in their intent. It seems file will continue moving between the pers cell and O/o the Director (HR) without any decision on it.Most unfortunately we will have to appreciate the patience level of the association, the DRs voted for to decide on the DPC and other issues of DRs. Their never ending timeline of week/month/year to continue as usual.
- There are still huge numbers of self generated queries to be discussed and finalized about the AIEL & further on the DPC process. Possibility is there, we may witness one or more pseudo court case in near future on the DPC. The suffering executives need to wake up and start asking on their legitimate dues from all the associations with tall promises before the MV. No doubt, AITEEA will continue raising the voice of the officers, it represents.

- Meeting with GM (SR): GS and other representatives congratulated GM (SR) for the successful conduction of the 2nd MV. We told GM (SR) that as the membership verification is over now, the long pending issues of executives may be given a serious look for their settlement without any if and but. GS again raised the Pay loss issue of the DR JTO 2007/08 batch, DR JAO 2010 batch and asked him let the management re-examine the committee report on it, limiting it to these batches only and seeing the merit of the case than having a generalized view.

JTO to SDE Promotion under seniority quota. GM (Pers) said that the detail update on the DPC may be available with the Jt GM (Pers) and the DGM (Pers). We met both the officers dealing with the issue and stressed on the early conduction of the DPC and issuance of the promotion order as officers have already lost a significant length of service, waiting for their very 1st promotion in BSNL. Now as the review petition has also been dismissed, management must immediately issue the promotion order. DGM (Pers) told that even though the preparation of the eligibility list is on, the final decision on the DPC and issuance of the promotion order will be taken only after going through all the legal aspect after the dismissal of the review petition. We strongly demanded for the immediate decision in this regard and promotion of the executives must be done, as we can not be made to suffer for decades for one or other reason and legal issues created by others. DGM (Pers) assured for an early decision on it.
- Friends AITEEA assures you, we will always remain a voice of the deprived lot and will continue raising and fighting on our issues of concern.

- Dear Friends,
- AITEEA is getting a huge support from the young Executive fraternity of BSNL .As the date of Membership verification (MV) is approaching nearer and nearer, this support is increasing by leaps & bounds. This has been sensed by other associations too & the vested interests started spreading various sort of rumors regarding support of AITEEA in social media.
- In the light of the above, AITEEA CHQ clarifies that there is no question of supporting any other association and AITEEA is going to contest the MV on its own & is confident enough to get a significant support of executives to have a very vital role in settling our long pending issues. How can one even think like that? As all those associations only are the root causes of our sufferings.
- So all our friends & fraternity are requested not to trust on rumors but go for messages on Official website of AITEEA only.

- Team, AITEEA BSNL.
- Dear All Friends & Fraternity,
- AITEEA since its inception is working in the interest of Direct Recruited Executives of BSNL and vigorously pursuing the core issues before the top echelons of BSNL Management, DoT and Ministry of Communication. Even during Pandemic led lockdown period, AITEEA did not remain silent rather more effectively had given impetus to genuine issues through social media platform specially through Twitter and received huge response from Executive fraternity across the Associations.
- At a time when BSNL Management is busy in restructuring plan, we need to raise our concerns and long pending issues before the management, so that the same may be given a serious look before they take a decision in this regard. In this pandemic of Corona, the most suitable medium of representing our concerns is using social media.
- Accordingly AITEEA has planned a 3 day long Social media movement on the most important issues of the deprived executive community in BSNL @twitter starting from today i.e. 12th Aug'2020. Each day one of issues will be raised.
- The details of events are as below:
- 1. 12.08.2020: Twitter Campaign for #JTO_to_SDE_Promotion_BSNL
- 2. 13.08.2020: Twitter Campaign for #Pay_Fixation_Issue_2nd PRC_BSNL
- 3. 14.08.2020: Twitter Campaign for #Standard_Pay_Scale_BSNL
- AITEEA invites all our friends and executive fraternity to be part of this great rigorous campaign and please add up your voices against disparity, discrimination and deprivation.
- Regards
- Team, AITEEA BSNL.
- Friends,
- Do you find a single difference between the associations claiming to be the number 1 and the number 2? Please see if they are different?
- 1. Standard Pay Scale issue derailed by both i.e. the Champion and the Messiah:
- Just after the 2nd PRC implementation in BSNL in March 2009, Champion pressed Management to propose revised E1A Pay Scale instead of the Standard Pay Scale E2 despite DPE guidelines were there. Messiah derailed it by asking standard Pay Scale E2 wef 2000 and with cascading.
- 2. Pay loss/22820 issue derailed by both i.e. the Champion and the Messiah:
- Champion put a similar treatment/ demand for all the post 2007 Employees including the DGMs and the TTAs before the Committee and derailed any probable settlement. Messiah given in writing to management for restricting it only up to the 2005 batch. Now drama of case in PCAT, where management may submit their own undertaking as given in 2010.
- 3. LDCE/DPC issue
- Promotion of DR 2007/08 stalled by both i.e. the Champion and the Messiah. Both together conspired and stopped 2007/08 DR JTOs to write the LDCE in 2015 with a promise of weekly/monthly LDCE. But thereafter not allowed any LDCE.
- On DPC issue:
- The Champion pressed management to file review just to delay it and Messiah left the case after putting everything in litigation. No effort put to get the reserved judgement pronounced in last more than a year.
- 4. CPSU CH:
- Both the friends i.e. the Champion and the Messiah together put us in loss. Under the banner of JF, they given the shape to their historical CPSU CH draft and conspired to harm us by placing the 2007/08 DR JTOs in the policy so as to to suffer the most.
- 5. Abolition of the SDE posts and upgrading these to AGM:
- Both i.e. the Champion and the Messiah together played game and further reduced the chance of promotion where already only limited scope of Promotion was there for the JTOs. The Champion committed this openly but Messiah supported it silently in greed to get promoted to the AGM post.
- As you can see friends both are the same and their intention is not good at least towards the young officers of BSNL.
- So, friends please do not get cheated again and again.

- Friends, as a result of continuous discriminatory attitude and a total ignorance of our Pay and Promotion issues by our seniors, we were left with no choice except to form a new Association AITEEA in June 2016.
- The major issues which are of concerns and where we have been the victims of the discrimination are the
- 1. Pay loss/22820 issue
- 2. Standard Pay Scale
- 3. Promotion issue/LDCE/DPC
- 4. CPSU cadre heirarchy.
- Our efforts on these issues are enumerated below; one may very well verify and cross check it from other available resources too.
-
Pay loss/22820 issue
- Just after few months of AITEEA formation, notification for the 1st MV issued. Even though we filed nomination to contest the election, because of our limited resources and several constraints, which is quite natural being a new association, we did not contest. In the name of DR unity we received several calls from AIGETOA to go with AIBSNEA as they too supported this association. So keeping all these things in mind it was unanimously decided to ally with AIBSNLEA through a MoU focused on our issue of Pay loss and other grievances. After discussing with the then bigger associations, one who agreed to take up our issues we join AIBSNLEA led United Forum as a partner along with AIGETOA.
- Within 6 months of formation of the AITEEA and within a month of the conduction of the 1st MV we succeeded in putting a required pressure and getting a Committee constituted by BSNL on our pay loss issue to have a comprehensive deliberation and settle the issue. Even though the issue was there for last 7 years but a dedicated committee was formed only after the formation of AITEEA.
- AITEEA team represented the case with all the justification for extending the initial Basic Pay of Rs22820/ to the post 2007 E1A recruited executives of JTO 2007/08 batches and the similar DR JAO as we had not only been recruited in the Pay Scale E1A/9850 through JTO RR 2001 but also worked with the Pre revised initial Basic Pay of Rs9850/ for a long. We worked with all other similarly recruited executives/the seniors with a difference in basic pay only by 1 or 2 fixed increments as per one s service length. How the 2nd PRC implementation may create a difference of one increment in Pre-revised scale to almost an eight increment (around Rs4200.00), which in gross pay gone up to Rs15000/ plus.
- Despite all our justification and submission before the committee, the report given by Committee was negative as other associations made the similar demand for all the post 2007 recruits in general involving even the post 2007 recruited DGMs/TTAs etc. Thereby the financial implication involved gone to a very high level for settling the issue. They demanded it for all without going in the merit and just to derail any probable settlement for us.
- No other association took any pain to pursue or represent the pay loss issue in a positive way except AITEEA. All other either remain neutral or submitted negatively.
- Despite negative committee report, being the sufferer we did not lose hope. We met several times then the CMD Shri Anupam Shrivastava ji, Dir (HR) Smt. Sujata T Ray and the GM (Estt.) and tried our level best to convince them for the settlement of the issue. All others including the well wishers of the DR/BRs just left the issue after playing their negative role. At a time we realized that the BSNL Management is trying to drag the issue and just passing time, we decided to pursue it to even higher authorities.
- We got appointment and met then the Hon MoC twice on 08.12.2017 & 31.05.2018 and submitted our grievance to him. Hon MoC was kind enough to listen our issue and his office directed the DoT officials and the BSNL authorities to re examine the issue on merit and do the justice with the young officers. Accordingly a meeting involving the higher officers from the DoT and BSNL conducted on 24.08.2018 in the presence of Mr Saket Kumar, IAS and PA to the Hon MoC, Mr A N Rai Ex CMD BSNL and Special Advisor to MoC. GS AITEEA and AGS presented our case well before them, but the authorities from BSNL Management took the shade of the lost case filed by an individual Shailendra in PCAT Delhi and said that court has already given a judgment on the issue. We submitted that it was an individual case filed by Mr Shailendra and AITEEA or any other suffering executives of BSNL are nothing to do with this case. But unfortunately while appreciating our concerns and issue, they told us as court has already delivered a judgment, we can not help you and if you are not satisfied, you should go to court only for any review/challenge.
- Even after that we continued our persuasion and met several times to CMD BSNL & Dir (HR) for our Pay loss issue. Each time, they just kept on assuring for re-examination but nothing moved further. One may get updates/details of all such meetings/representations on pay loss issues on our webpage for the period 2017-2018 and 2018-19.
- We were disappointed but after a long discussion among our friends, we decided to challenge the lost Shailendra Case in Hon HC New Delhi. Though the case was lost in 2013 and a lot of time had already passed to challenge it, yet we wanted to give it a try and challenged it in the HC New Delhi. Hon HC listen our case but said that more than 2000 days had already passed since the judgment was delivered by the PCAT, how could you challenge it now? Our counsel submitted that some new input is there in the case. So let it is admitted and heard and our counsel quoted the judgment of the Hon SC court in the similar P Savitha vs. GoI case. After all these arguments Hon Delhi HC directed us to file for the review in the PCAT itself in the light of the Judgment in the P Savitha Case.
- Friends, we are ready with our draft to file for Review in the PCAT, once Covid get subsidized
- One separate case was also running on Aurangabad bench of Bombay high Court where Honourable court categorically mentioned that petitioner has grievance that JTOs appointed after 01.01.2007 have been given initial basic of Rs 19020/ whereas JTOS appointed before 01.01.2007 have been given initial basic of Rs 22820. But after reaching to this stage BSNL lawyer put one argument that petitioner are left with remedy of going to CAT and high court directed to go to CAT. We are already in CAT Mumbai where reply and rejoinder by BSNL and us are submitted and is in the final stage.
-
Standard Pay Scales E2 and E3 replacing the E1A and E2A
- AITEEA made its stand very clear on the standard Pay Scale issue even to those constituent associations of the then United Forum that the replacement of the intermediate pay Scales E1A and E2A with the standard Pay scales E2 and E3 w.e.f. 01.01.2007 only is the viable solution and no one should derail it by putting a demand of cascading or date of effect as 2000
- AITEEA took the Presidential order issued by DoT in March 2017 No. 61-2/2016-SU dated 28.03.2017 seriously and challenged it in the Hon CAT Kolkata on 15.09.2017. Hon Court issued notices to the BSNL & DoT and asked for their stand on it. BSNL submitted its speaking order to Hon court well in time but DoT was reluctant and submitted it to the court in Dec 2019 only after a notice of contempt. BSNL in its speaking order recognized the Pay loss to us and submitted that it has already proposed Standard Pay Scale E2 for the JTO cadre and it is pending with DoT. But DoT submitted that E1A Scale is actually was the E1 Scale only and E1A was only for the DoT recruited Executives and was a negotiated with DoT executives for their absorption in BSNL. DoT said that for the BSNL recruited Executives it should have been the Scale E1 only, which BSNL erroneously recruited in E1A. This statement of DoT is a big lie and we have all relevant orders to prove it.
- Friends, we searched and arranged all the decade old DoT Circulars which say that E1A Scale was not only for absorbed DoT executives but was for BSNL recruited executives too and the same was communicated none other than the DoT itself. Our case is very strong and justified.
- After the submission of the Speaking order from the DoT and BSNL, we have to file the case afresh. We have already prepared a very good draft of the case to file it. Its get delayed due to pandemic of Corona out break and very critical situation in and around Kolkata but we are in constant touch with our counsel and it will be filed as early as possible.
- Friends, we are cent per cent sure for wining this case, let us hope good.
-
Promotion through DPC/LDCE
- As we all are aware that BSNL Management shown a good gesture on LDCE and notified LDCE Exam for multiple vacancy years together in order to clear the backlog and also in the best interest of the young executives of BSNL.
- By that time AITEEA was not born and we had been the part of the so called well wishers of DRs and were believing in them but at last moment just a day before of the exam, we were made ineligible to write the exam with a promise of further weekly/monthly conduction of the LDCE for different vacancy years and were asked to have patience and do not put it in further litigation. But what happened? Even after 5 years from then, not even a single exam for a single VY yet conducted.
- AITEEA, after its formation with its limited resource and support persuaded to the authorities for the conduction of the LDCE/DPC for our very first promotion in BSNL. But the majority corners/associations including the well wishers of the DR/BRs started jumping from LDCE to DPC and DPC to CPSU and did not allow any thing to happen.
- When the preparation of eligibility particulars for the JTO to SDE DPC started in 2017 restricting it to the 2005 batch, We met GM (Pers) and requested him for calling the eligibility particulars of all the JTOs up to the DR JTO 2008 batch as sufficient vacancies were available to accommodate all, given that most of the people from the DR 2005 batch have already declared passed in the LDCE 2015 and as per 1:1 ratio, DR JTO up to 2008 may get accommodated in the DPC. But the so called well wishers instead of supporting us,they made mockery of it.
- Ultimately such an attitude of the well wishers made us to suffer a lot and we are yet struggling to get our very first promotion through DPC despite serving for more than 11 years @ executive level.
- Due to a strong resentment among SNEA members on promotion issue, mass resignation started in around May-June 2018. To retain their members, SNEA was to get its most of the members promoted through the DPC under promote quota but as per 1:1 guidelines, the eligibility particulars of the same number of DR Executives were not available with the Pers Cell. The eligibility particulars of those DRs who had already promoted through LDCE 2015 were of no use and those of the 2007/08 executives were not available. So SNEA along with some officials in pers. cell conspired and manipulated the guidelines and directions of the Hon HC and got promotion order issued on 15th June 2018 for around 3000 of its members from Promote quota. Not even a single DR got promoted. Had the well wishers supported the AITEEA s stand and Eligibility particulars of the 2007/08 batches been available with Pers cell, no such unfortunate situation of contempt and review would have arisen .
- Since then it again has been put in litigation for an indefinite time and thereby a total stop on promotion of the DR JTOs.
- BSNL filed review petition in the Hon HC Kerala regarding determining the intra-se-seniority among DRs. Even though all the hearing completed, the judgment on review is reserved for more than a year but no association seem to be interested in judgment despite being an applicant/party at ENK HC and they never tried to get that judgment pronounced. Why? The only reason is: they are already promoted to SDE and are not at all getting affected with this case.
- AITEEA wrote various letters on the stalled DPC, met authorities with a suggestion and way out till Jan 2019. We tried our level best during that time and management given assurances too, but after issuance of the Contempt Charges and further linking of the review with Contempt proceedings and stay on it, Management took a different line and started giving excuse of litigation. Now it is clear that without the judgment on the review, nothing is going to happen on JTO to SDE DPC.
- But the parties involved at ENK court, instead of getting the reserved judgment on Review pronounced, a new befooling strategy of Legal opinion has been devised and is being circulated among officers in every 3 months.
- Friends, AITEEA is exploring the ways and is well prepared to be a part of the case on DPC at Ernakulum court on behalf of the suffering executives. We may move in this direction post membership verification and will ensure justice to us.
-
Proposed CPSU and discrimination to us
-
The proposed draft on the CPSU was jointly drafted by the SNEA and the AIGETOA. They together taken care of the interests of all senior DR batches, DR 2005 batch along with making it the most beneficial for the LICE passed JTOs.
They did a gross injustice with the DR JTOs of 2007/08 by putting them at par and equal to the 5-6 year junior LICE passed JTOs and hardly provisioned a single year of compensation to their already rendered service over and above the residency period.
It was the AITEEA only which raised voice against this conspiracy and represented the concerns of the 2007/08 JTOs before BSNL Management. We argued with the GM (Pers) and shown our strong resistance on the proposed draft. We told them that if the services rendered by an executive at the post of SDE and Sr SDE (Which does not at all exits) taken together to consider for his/her promotion to the grade of AGM as provisioned, why the services rendered by an executives at JTO and SDE grade can not be taken together to consider his promotion for the next grade? GM (Pers) was quite convinced with our submission and assured us at that time that youur this input/ feedback will be definitely taken to the Dir (HR) before any final decision in this regard.
As of now no one has the final approved draft copy as they use to propagate. They never shown that approved draft?
AITEEA stand is clear on CPSU cadre hierarchy:
- 1. Fill up all the vacant positions by promoting executives through the existing RR.
- 2. Address the concerns of the post 2007 JTOs in the draft and remove discriminatory clause in this regard. Give considerable weight age to ones excess service already rendered in a cadre.
- 3. Provision a fast track channel within the CPSU cadre hierarchy for meritorious and performing officers to reach at the top of the decision making body.
- Management must acknowledge the fact that it is not the fault of the executive but of BSNL management & Associations that despite serving for such a long span of time, he/she could not get his/her 1st promotion in BSNL. So their services rendered at any executive level must be well acknowledged for their promotion to higher grades.
- They want Majority tag nothing but to derail our issues. Their strength is to be used for their core groups only.
- We want a justified support of sufferer fraternity to make our fight even stronger. Our strength is to get the discrimination end in BSNL.
- They are more interested in your subscription and appear with scripted stories during Membership Change Window twice in a year.
- We are interested only in your moral support to move forward for our long pending unaddressed issues. We do not propagate fake assurance or file update; We share only the truth with our friends & fraternity.
- They are running associations more like a Business house and adding members through fake/ show off meetings and promises.
- We are struggling and fighting against the disparity, discrimination and injustice as met to us due to their misdeeds in collusion with the Management & other associations.
- They will write 100s of letters on your issues till MV date and will never speak on it after MV, as they did in past.
- We will continue our sustained consistent struggle and will fight till our issues get settled.
- They are seasonal well wishers and are focused only to be No. 1 or 2 to enjoy the status of majority and immunity.
- We are sufferers and are fighting continuously with clear in our intention and determined in principles to settle the issues.
- They change their stand on issues frequently as per their convenience and as to lure more members and subscription fee.
- We remain stick to our stand and are with the truth. We never change our stand or add members through fake assurances.
- They have only negative things in their report card on our issues, so never show it to common members.
- We have all our honest and sincere efforts with us as to ask for your valuable support.
- They speak on BR unity but in their action, they have discriminated among batches.
- We speak justice for all and stand by the deprived lot and victims of their conspiracy. Out of the two associations claiming to be No1, one restricted 22820/ up to 2005 batch and other one demanded for all including even those recruited on E1 to derail any probable settlement.
- On LDCE/DPC/CPSU too both of them played negative only and conspired to put the 2007/08 executives on receiving side.
- Then what will they do on your issues friends even if voted to be majority?
- So, better we all extend our whole hearted support to our own association AITEEA to motivate them and give sufficient strength to fight for the common cause.
- VOTE FOR OUR UNITY; VOTE FOR AITEEA
- Today on 23.07.2020, GS, AITEEA once again discussed the DPC issue with PGM, BSNL CO and apprised him regarding frustrations & resentments among the young officers for their very first promotion in BSNL for last 11 years that the officers are at the break down stage for their no faults.
- PGM replied that as the matter is sub-judice, any movement in the direction of promotion may be initiated only after the pending court cases are settled. GS requested him to settle it within this week as much time has elapsed after residency period is completed. But PGM did not concur it. GS laid emphasis on the issuance of promotion order on the same basis as that of done by then PGM Sh Keshav Rao ji for promotee groups on 18.06.2018 at mid night. But PGM was adhering to his earlier stand.
- Friends, it is clear that BSNL Management is neither interested in settling the litigation nor in issuing the promotion order. Other corners are also only enjoying our suffering by just leaving everything after putting it in litigation at ENK court. None is interested in getting the reserved judgment pronounced as is pending on review.
- AITEEA is going to launch once again a fierce, vigorous and vocal movement through PMO PG Portal and its Twitter Campaign with the help of all our fraternity against the inordinate delay in issuing promotion orders of post 2007 Executives by insensitive, lethargic, arbitrary and unscrupulous attitude of BSNL Management.
- Friends it is high time to get united at our own platform AITEEA and let us defeat the vested interests.
- Congratulation!
- We are happy to share this great news friend, that AITEEA successfully formed a very strong new Circle body in the Maharashtra Telecom Circle making AITEEA even stronger.
- With each passing day, AITEEA is ensuring its presence in each region and circle and thereby reaching very near to the required strength to settle our long pending dues. AITEEA CHQ congratulates the office bearers and other executives of the Maharashtra Telecom Circle and wishes them all the best for their future endeavors in strengthening the AITEEA and thereby giving strength to our issues for their settlement.

- Every post 2007 Executive (DR as well as BR) is asking from the Massiah and the Champion that on what moral ground they want the vote and support of post 2007 batches. We post 2007 executives would be glad to know a single achievement they have made in past 12 years, exclusively for the betterment of post 2007 batches or Gate Qualified JTOs, where their own interest is not involved.
- If they can not enumerate even a single achievement for the most deprived lot of executives, then on what ground the Champion is projecting itself a representative of all the Executives of BSNL and the Massiah as a representative of BRs (earlier DRs), as they have done nothing for post 2007 executives in more than a decade time
- Enormous enthusiasm among the young officers of BSNL and their massive support to AITEEA is being witnessed across the circles.

- Dear Friends,
- Over the time we learnt that , to get an issue resolved in BSNL, one needs two things
- First one is the GOOD INTENTION and
- Second being A MIN. SUPPORT BASE (need not be the No 1 or 2) which is required in terms of the number of members associated with you or voting for you in the MV. This minimum membership strength must be visible to all including the management and should not be the virtual one.
- Any association even if some short in the support base may also get an issue resolved provided its intention on the issue is good and a sincere effort is made.
- But remember friends, whatever the membership strength you give to an association or even if you vote it to make the majority none of your issue will ever get settled if it has an ill feeling on your issues. It may be well verified in BSNL itself.
- The Basic pay of Rs22820/ extention to the left out of the 2005 batch JTOs, LDCE 2015 posting despite strong resistance of the majority association, deferring and withholding the results of the internal MT Exam as per one s desire, conduction of various LICE exams for TTA to JTO promotion etc. And so many other such claims are the examples, which are settled by an association which is neither a majority nor a support.
- At the same time you see, what happened to the issues where we are the sufferers the pay loss issue/ the STD Pay Scale/ LDCE/DPCs for the JTO to SDE promotion and the discrimination as done with us in the proposed CPSU draft? You all know it well; we got only periodic assurances with a new date, month and year for these to get resolved. WHY? Because they, the cunning and self centred fellows are not getting affected at all on these issues and have ill motive. If one has no interest in settling an issue how the membership strength/Majority/Support tag is going to change the status. Friends, it is not going to change their mind set.
- All such past happenings/events show that it is the intention of the associations/representatives which matters more than the member counts. So MAJORITY/SUPPORT tag is not at all required for one to get an issue settled.
- Friends, AITEEA being led and run by the sufferers has all good intentions the 1st thing needed to get our issues settled. In the last 2-3 years, you might have observed how sincerely it taken up our issues of concerns to the highest authorities in BSNL and also in the Ministry of Communication. Despite so many constraints and limited resource, we have been focused on our issues and raised these before BSNL Management: May it is the Pay loss/DPC or the discriminatory CPSU draft. With our sincere and honest approach we succeeded in taking some of our issues even up to the last stage of the settlement but could not get resolved due to lack of the minimum support base as required on rolls . Now, as we are getting the supports from almost all the circles and our post 2007 recruited friends are happy enough to associate them with us, we will cross the min. and the threshold level of the members count in the 2nd MV which will definitely enable us to resolve the issues.
- So, We request you all, please Vote and Support AITEEA in the coming MV and raise your voice against the injustice and discrimination in BSNL
- It is a matter of great pleasure for us friends that with the effort of you all , AITEEA is strengthening day by day. Today, In a CEC cum Circle conference meeting conducted @Google meet platform, a new Circle body of the Kolkata Telecom District formed. Here also like West Bengal Circle, a large numbers of people from other associations shown their belief/confidence in AITEEA and took our membership. Friends, Its really very encouraging and good sign for all of us and it will definitely motivate our CHQ team to put in their best and a very good chance is there for getting our issues resolved with united strength.

- GS wrote to GM (SR) BSNL and conveyed the resolutions passed in the Annual General Meeting of AITEEA. Also the list of CHQ body/ Office bearers submitted for its acknowledgement.
- Dear Friends,
- We do not have any enmity or ill feeling towards any other segments of Executives in BSNL but we definitely do advocate for our issues and show our concern there of. Till date the representatives of the so called bigger associations, claiming to be the well wishers of Executives misused the mandate they received in terms of membership count and conspired only at each and every step to deprive the Post 2007 executives and the junior batches from their very basic right of pay and promotion. May it be the pay loss issue, be it the Cascading demand in Standard Pay Scale issue to derail its settlement, be it the LDCE in 2015 where we had been stopped to write it at the last moment, be it the dragging of the DPC issue through various tools/ litigation. They the Massiah and the Champions both conspired jointly in the so called proposed historical draft on CPSU and put the 2007/08 batches on receiving side only and made us to face the loss of service to the most.
- Despite pushing us to such a pathetic and miserable condition through all their deeds, they shamelessly speak on BR unity and DR unity and are asking support to make them No. 1 or No. 2. Friends, in post VRS scenario talking of BR/DR unity is just an irrelevant when most of the executives are BSNL recruits only and the so called promote/DoT associations are also having their CSs/AGSs and other office bearers from BR. To whom they are trying to befool? Why do not you ever thought on this BR unity when you made us to suffer on various front through your act? Had you been fair and inclusive in your approach, we would never have gone for registering a separate association AITEEA.
- Friends, it does not matter who is going to be majority or support association rather one s intention towards your issues matters much. If you are having a significant support base and your intention is good, issue resolution is sure to happen with a focused and sincere effort.
- So, let all the deprived executive fraternity unites together under the banner of AITEEA in support of our issues and for their resolution.
- Support AITEEA for Pay loss/22820 issue and Reply those restricted it to a particular Batch.
- Support AITEEA for Standard Pay Scale and Reply those demanding cascading.
- Support AITEEA for LDCE and Reply those who stopped us to write the exam and restricted it up to to a particular Batch. Oppose those promising weekly LDCE but not done it even after 5 years.
- Support AITEEA for DPC/promotion and Reply those conspiring and dragging it through litigation.
- Support AITEEA to get justice in the Proposed CPSU draft and Reply those who conspired to put us in the major loss of service years.
- Support AITEEA, support the voice on your Issues and make it louder enough to be heard by the management for their resolution.
- So friends, Let us all together move forward to change the things and to end the discriminatory policies of the associations.
- Friends, AITEEA today filed nomination to contest in the 2nd membership verification as proposed to be conducted in the August 2020.
- As all other so called champions and well wishers of executives use to conspire and put the junior batches of executives in loss, through your support We will ensure that no further injustice met to the post 2007 Executives of BSNL including the DR 2007/08 batches, SRD JTOs and the GATE recruited JTOs of BSNL.

- Dear All Friends & Fraternity,
- AITEEA since its inception is working in the interest of Direct Recruited Executives of BSNL and vigorously pursuing the core issues before top echelons of BSNL Management, Department of Telecommunications and Ministry of Communications. Even during Pandemic led lockdown period, AITEEA did not remain silent rather more effectively had given impetus to genuine issue through social media platform specially through Twitter and received huge response from Executive fraternity across the Associations. Apart from our Pay fixation issue, AITEEA successfully made a Twitter trend of Promotion issues of Direct Recruits of All batches through its hash tag #Designate_As_Per_Scale_BSNL. It trended on number 1 on dated 16.03.2020 and thereby we succeeded to attract the attention of Senior BSNL Management, DoT Officials and the Office of MoC towards our long pending genuine issue. Now days while main stream associations are busy in spreading rumors regarding DPC and CPSU hierarchy to lure members for monthly subscription, the AITEEA has poured all its energy in its campaign towards settlement of our core burning issues through its various innovative ways. Our firm belief lies in our slogan TOGETHER WE CAN.
- Friends, AITEEA is going to conduct All INDIA CONFERENCE of AITEEA cum Election of CHQ Body on 28.06.2020 online platform Google Meet.

20.06.2020: AIC of AITEEA scheduled on 28th June 2020
- In his address to the CMD, BSNL and Dir (HR), GS AITEEA communicated the resentments and the frustration level as being seen among the young officers of BSNL due to non resolution of their genuine and long pending issues, which needs an immediate attention of the management.
- Despite all the basic work related to DPC of Executives for promotion from JTO to SDE in Telecom Stream was completed quite before i.e. in December'2018, still promotion orders are not issued and are withheld citing one or other reasons.
- Frustration and depression among young Executives is at its peak as their first promotion is pending for more than 10 to 15 years apart from other unsettled issues of Pay Scale & Pay Fixation. Moreover in all cadres and in all streams except Telecom, Promotion orders were issued. In addition, promotions from Non-Executive (TTA, TM & RM) to Executive (JTO cadre) are being issued timely. But the same is missing from JTO to SDE. Therefore there is a huge pile up in the JTO Cadre and a Non-executive recently promoted JTO is being kept on equal footing with a Direct JTO serving as executive for last 10 to 15 years in absence of promotions from JTO to the SDE cadre. It is surprising that promotions from Non-Executives to Executives is taking place only within a span of five years whereas within Executives [JTO to SDE], it is not done even after ten to fifteen years.
10.06.2020: Panic Situation arising out among young Executives in the JTO Cadre due to inordinate delay in issuance of promotion orders: GS writes to CMD/ Dir (HR) BSNL
- A golden opportunity for the Engg/BTech/MBA/CA/Diploma and other students: BSNL s Advanced Level Telecom Training Centre (ALTTC), Ghaziabad has started live interactive vocational training programs for Engineering / Law/ Finance / Management / HR Students across the India. Get trained from the most prestigious International Training Institute in the Telecom Domain @ALTTC BSNL ( A Govt. of India Enterprise) and be distinct in your field.
- Note: 25 percent fee discount for the wards of BSNL employees.
- Registration open.
02.06.2020: An Institute of eminence the ALTTC offers various courses:
- The so called big associations The Massiah and the Champions are playing with the interests and emotions of the young officers of BSNL for a long. The only thing they are doing for the past few years is to blame each other for the non conduction of the DPC in the JTO (T) to SDE (T) cadre. The process is stalled for the last 2 years despite a large number of vacancies are available. Both the associations are parties in the ENK court case along with the Management and are responsible for such a big loss to the officers of BSNL. BSNL management use to cite different reasons to them for the non conduction of DPC, as per their web updates. Friends, they may draft the CPSU cadre hierarchy together, may provision a relaxation to the desired section of executives together, may ignore interests for other executives together in the draft then why do not they go together to meet the management and get all their confusion cleared, if their very purpose of running the associations is to protect the interest of the executives. But it seems their interest is something else and it is to drag this DPC issue till new staffing norms/ restructuring in force and thereby making even the first promotion of the officers an impossible.
- Unfortunately our own suffering friends are strengthening these negative forces by subscribing to such associations and making them healthy/ wealthy to get harmed more. Please start asking questions to these comrades, tell them to stop this blame game and update you about the net result on the issues for which you are associated with them.
- In between do not forget to raise your concerns to the authorities through twitter.
25.05.2020: Will Blaming one another to give a result?
- The management seems to be total ignorant towards the very genuine concerns of the core executives of BSNL who are maintaining the systems and services of the Company through their hard work and earning revenue for BSNL.
- Executives with the specified Educational qualification of BE/BTech joined the organization after competing in an All India exam with a hope that they too will get a career progression at par with the other similar CPSUs of the country. But BSNL instead of utilizing their capability treated them even worse than the officials promoted from the operator/clerical cadre to the the Gr C JEs of the DoT era. The ENGG Graduates are waiting for their very first promotion in BSNL from JTO to SDE for as long as more than 15 years. But the management is simply delaying it citing one or other reason. What for then the Jumbo jet size HR vertical, you have in the Company? Do not they need to answer it?
- In such a competitive market how can BSNL be revived keeping its 1000s of young officers in a de-motivated state, a big question. Better BSNL Management think over it and value the min. aspiration of the executives if is really interested in taking the company forward.
16.05.2020: How the Revival is possible with such an insensitive Management?

- Friends, the BSNL Corp. Office replied in June 2018 that AIEL is being prepared regarding DPC/Promotion from JTO (T) to the SDE(T).But see after passing 2 years time, in the year 2020 also they have the same readymade reply for the Graduate Engineers, they recruited through All India Competitive Exams/GATE. This shows how a deliberate attempt is being made to demoralize the young officers and thereby harming the BSNL. All Please show your concern to the competent authority to get justice.

- Young officers of BSNL showed their strength on twitter. Frustrated with the BSNL Management for their ill treatment towards young Engineers of BSNL and not effecting their due promotions for a decade, officers irrespective of their association s affiliation came united on twitter to show their resentment and bring it to the notice of Hon MoC and PMO. BSNL Management failed to recognize their very legitimate issue of promotion as was due since long back. The Promotion which the JTOs are entitled to get after serving a min. of 3 years are not being given to them even after a long span of 15 years citing one or other reasons. Facts being all the hurdles are self created by the Management.
- AITEEA congratulates all the officers of BSNL for initiating the movement and get it trending on twitter. We extend all our support to settle the due promotion of the young executives.
- BSNL management must understand that the revival process is not possible without motivating the young and core working executives of The Company. So, it is requested please recognize the gravity of the issue and settle it immediately in the best interest of the BSNL.
16.03.2020: #Designate_As_Per_Scale_BSNL trends at Twitter
- Today on dated 25.02.2020, General Secretary & President, AITEEA scheduled a meeting with PGM (Pers) on long pending JTO to SDE promotions in Telecom Stream. Emphasis of AITEEA was to apprise higher Management about demotivation level among young Executives at grass root level who are wholeheartedly contributing for BSNL. However Management is still sticking on withdrawal of Court case. Still he assured that legal vetting of that Case is in process from Management side. We apprised him about settlement of this promotion in one go by way of designate as per grade. But he was non committal on this issue.
- Friends, our successful Twitter Campaign on Designate As Per Scale for 30 continuous days has lasted few days ago & higher Management of BSNL is well aware about this movement, still some associations are working on their bullock cart agenda to go for year wise LDCE or year wise DPC which will take our promotions 10 more years.
- AITEEA is trying its fullest to get our promotions done in one go & will leave no stone unturned to fulfill its Commitment.
- - Team AITEEA
25.02.2020 : AITEEA Meeting with PGM (Pers) in BSNL Co.
- Friends, you may be aware that the core and the young executives of BSNL, the O&M of the Company lies on the shoulders of who are deprived of from their basic right of the due promotions for decades. It must be appreciated that such a standstill situation due to any reasons including litigations/court cases is not at all desirable for the good health of BSNL. Facts being the suffering executives are not at all responsible for this and moreover it is the responsibility of the BSNL management to get the things settled well within the time in the best interest of the Company. We cannot find a single CPSU where even an Engineering Graduate needs to wait for more than even 10-18 years for a single promotion.That too from Gr B JTO to the same Gr B SDE, neither through the fast track/LDCE nor through the normal Channel DPC in more than 10 years. It may be noted here that both i.e. The DR Graduate Engineer JTOs and the LICE passed JTOs are the sufferers, as no LDCE exams or DPC ever conducted for them. It is also pertinent to note here that the LDCE happened to be a wrong valuation of the officers on their performance and dedication towards BSNL, as we may find numerous examples of officers contributed greatly for BSNL s growth and applauded by the higher officers at various occasions for their services to BSNL but could not clear the LDCE exams for SDE post
- As there is an endless litigation/issues involved at present, creating undesired hurdle in awarding the long promotions of the executives, a new simple, transparent and an inclusive promotion policy must be adopted to address the concerns of all and to avoid any such situation further in future. Therefore AITEEA proposes a well suited and performance based Executive Promotion policy to end the ongoing deadlock.
- Friends, under the BSNL EPP 2007, executives are given time bound scale up gradations through CPC/DPC conduction at circle levels. They need to pass an exam too for the same, testing their managerial and technical skills for getting their pay scale upgraded from (E1 to E2/E2 to E3 to E4 etc...). So much HR works/Staff and other resources get used in this process, then why should BSNL not use this DPC/Scale up gradation at least up to the AGM level posts to make the functional promotion with a designation change with each scale up gradation. It is simple, easy, litigation free, avoids duplicate and repetition of the processes in HR works and will save BSNL resources.
- Let all carry their respective seniority in the JTO/SDE Cadre and the same may get opened only at the time of their post based promotion from AGM to the DGM posts.
- AITEEA appeals all the associations to come forward and support this proposal to end the obstacle created by one or other and also to favor the Company and the officers.
24.02.2020 : Why Designate As Per Scale ?
- BSNL employees and the officers always use to stand with any move of the Govt. and the management which is aimed to improve the health of the Company and is in the interest of the country. Today, it is proven again when thousands of our colleagues and senior officers are taking retirement from BSNL voluntarily. Its not an easy task to decide on whether to opt or not for the VRS but while taking the decision, they kept the interest of the Company in their priority over the personnel benefit (if any) and opted for VRS.
- AITEEA thanks you all for your great contribution to BSNL for a long time and wishes you all the best for a good health and peaceful retired life.
31.01.2020 : AITEEA extends its Best Wishes to all the retiring officers and Employees Today
- Friends, as you are aware that all the available paths for the career progression of the young officers of BSNL and most particularly that for the post 2007 recruited officers are totally blocked for one or other reasons. It is also clear that for such an unfortunate state, most of the so called bigger associations only are responsible; who claim to be the savior and well wishers of the executives in BSNL .They used our own strength in terms of memb Subscription to harm us. What can be more disgusting than this act?
- Taking in account such a deadlock situation on our promotion, where an officer could not be given even a single chance to write LDCE (As was promised to be within 3 years), DPC stuck in litigation, MT too having the similar fate, AITEEA devised and proposed an inclusive and well suited Promotion policy in line with the Executive promotion policy as there in the TCIL, a PSU under the same department i.e. DoT.
- Friend, we all know that at present Executives get time bound scale up gradation from one scale to other higher scale in each 5 years under the existing EPP 2007. For this up gradation of the scale an executive needs to pass an exam too, testing his/her technical and managerial skills. DPC also required to be conducted at circle levels to go through the Appraisals of the officer for the last 5 years and then only it is recommended to put him in the next higher scale. In this TB Scale up gradation, a lot of HR resources are being used starting from Admn, Account to the Training centers. Simple question raises here is why again to do the same work, while considering the functional promotion of the executive, even for the same scale/grade, he is already working in?
- So, AITEEA proposed BSNL management to have an exclusive Designation for each of the Pay scales/Grades up to the level E4, award the same to the executives as per his scale/grade and thereby remove the entire blockade as created in the the path of the promotion for the executives. It is quite feasible, simple and the biggest gain is the saving of human resources and avoids duplicacy in the HR labors/efforts. Some minor issues may come while implementing it, but the same may be easily settled within the domain of the BSNL management.
- AITEEA appeals all the executive fraternity to come forward in the support of the proposal irrespective of one s affiliation to an association and let us all together work for it to get it accepted by the management and implemented in BSNL.
11.12.2019: AITEEA submitted a proposal on the Executive Promotion policy to the Director (HR), BSNL Board
- Friends,
- Today the young officers of BSNL UPW Circle came together and given strength to AITEEA by forming our circle body over there.
- In a meeting held today (10.12.2019) at TAX Bhawan, Agra the young officers expressed their displeasure over the dirty games being played by various so called bigger Associations and thereby spoiling the career of 1000s of the officers by blocking even the minimum channels available for DR executives to aspire a respectable position in BSNL. So they decided to give sufficient strength to the AITEEA to fight for our due pay and promotion and get these settled.
- Following officers elected unanimously for the AITEEA UPW circle body:
- 1. Shri Pramod Kumar Circle President
- 2. Shri Ehteram Ahmad Siddiqui, Circle Secretary
- 3. Shri Raghvendra Singh, Asst. Circle Secretary

10.12.2019: AITEEA UP (West) body formed
- Today, as was scheduled Hon MoC Shri Ravishankar Prasad ji met the representatives of all the Associations and Unions of BSNL and explained all the details of the revival package and its implementation in BSNL. Sec DoT, other DoT officers and Director (HR), BSNL participated in the meeting. Shri Vijay Kumar Singh AGS (HQ) & CP ALTTC Shri M. P. Chauhan ji represented AITEEA.
- Friends, it was a one way communication by the Hon. MoC with leaders of the Associations and Unions of BSNL & MTNL in Sanchar Bhawan. After introduction of all the representatives, MoC emphasized on the following points:
- 1. VRS is going to be a drab reality. It has to be ensured by one and all who want to save BSNL.
- 2. If VRS target as proposed is not achieved, superannuation age to 58 yrs will be enforced.
- 3. It is the last opportunity to revive the BSNL by the Govt, as getting such a package approved was very difficult. So he appealed to get the opportunity used by BSNL and its employees and all need to co-operate in it.
- 4. He acknowledged the value of BSNL as earlier and stressed upon that all needed measures will be taken to get it revived.
- 5. Revenue received through Land Asset monetization will be used for revival of BSNL. Govt. has nothing to do with this money.
- 6. More Officers of BSNL/MTNL will have to be posted in the field for better services.
- 7. Some associations tried to raise the 3rd PRC issue but Minister strictly denied that.
- 8. No discussion happened on HR issues.
- 9. He told that he has personally requested all the state Governments for necessary support to BSNL in respect of electricity supply.
04.11.2019: Hon MoC met the representative of All the Associations & Unions of BSNL
- Dear friends,
- As you are aware that recently a very good revival package has been approved by the Union Cabinet in the best interest of our beloved Company BSNL. No doubt GoI has shown a big heart while approving the said package involving VRS, 4G spectrum to BSNL, Land monetisation and others. AITEEA welcomes such a positive gesture of the Government.
- But friends to make the revival of BSNL a success, whether this helping hand of the Govt. alone is sufficient? Will it really bring any change in the the present states of BSNL?
- Can BSNL succeed and reach the height of success, ignoring the legitimate Pay and the minimum career aspiration of the most qualified young graduate Engineers recruited by BSNL?
- Can a Company sustain and grow, keeping the core executives of the Company in a high state of demotivation and deprived of their basic needs?
- Can a Company grow,where the executives are kept in a temporary and degraded pay scale for more than a decade?
- Can a Company reach the apex of success, denying even a single promotion to its Graduate Engineers in 18 years and at the same time extending undue favour and awarding multiple promotions to the less qualified and less capable people?
- Can a Company compete with Pvt. Telcos in such a highly competitive market when the young and very capable officers get discriminated unexpectedly and kept on a loss of Rs14, 000 per month by committing an erroneous and downward pay revision in BSNL for them (selectively), while all other employees in the same Company BSNL been distributed the highest ever fitment of 30% w.e.f. 0.1.01.2007. Fact being these young executives are suffering this pay discrimination(that too with cumulative effect)since last 10 years without a due attention of our HR Managers.
- Whether such a discriminatory HR policies and practices in BSNL will make BSNL a profit making Company?
- Even a person with simple understanding of business can answer in NO.
- Its a fact friends that the BSNL management and the DoT continuously ignored the genuine and the legitimate right of pay, promotion and pension of these dedicated and hardworking BSNL recruited Engineers/officers. They have been denied their basic right of Pay, Promotion and no willingness ever shown by the management to settle their very genuine concerns.Their social security and other superannuation benefits had never been their priority despite recommendations of the competent authority DPE. They kept it pending for as long as 18 years, even though they never took a minute to extend the similar benefits to other absorbed employees, who came from DoT or working in BSNL on deputation.
- WHAT IS NEEDED AT THIS CRUCIAL JUNCTURE?
- At a time when BSNL is facing a number of challenges and VRS is being offered as a part of the revival process, the employees who are supposed to continue in BSNL in the post VRS scenario must be highly motivated to perform well. Those who have been side-lined in the BSNL , only because of minority and majority game and without weighing the interests of the Company, needs to be given recognition and their genuine concerns must be addressed immediately.
- A professional and progressive management will always prefer to have well-motivated and enthusiastic employees in the organisation and will do all the possible to bring this positive change in the employees.
- So as a representative of the young officers of BSNL, AITEEA requests BSNL Management and the DoT to go through various genuine and legitimate dues of the BSNL recruited officers/Employees, pending for years together and let these be settled as a part of the BSNL revival. This will definitely motivate them to give their extra hours for taking this wonderful company BSNL at the top. We hope they will surely pay attention to it, if are really interested in turnaround of the Company.
- If BSNL Management and the DoT do not think so required, at least they should relax the eligibility criteria in the VRS and let it be allowed to all the interested employees of BSNL, irrespective of the age profile, so that we can also avail this benefit and can search for other options for our livelihood and social status in the society.
- Friends on the similar lines, AITEEA had written a letter to the Secretary DoT in July month itself and has now reminded through e-mail and tweet.

- AITEEA wishes all the BSNL employees a very Happy BSNL day. On this very important day, AITEEA appeals all our BSNL friends and fraternity to re-tweet, like the following tweet of AITEEA to show your concerns for the revival of the Company and for giving a real PSU status to BSNL.
- Friends, you all might have noticed that the so called bigger union/associations calling AITEEA, an association on social media are now silently following the AITEEA s initiative of using social media to make our issues reaching the top authorities in the Government. It is a matter of proud for the AITEEA and all the AITTEAians.
- All please re-tweet and ask others to do the same.
01.10.2019: Greetings on the BSNL formation Day
- Friends,
- AITEEA had filed a writ petition in the Hon High Court New Delhi challenging the judgment of the Hon PCAT on our Pay Parity case the OA no. 3208/2011(Shailendra Singh Case).
- AITEEA arranged a very good lawyer and arguments made before the Hon HC based on a favorable judgment of the Hon Apex court in a similar case of P. Savitha. Even though Hon HC did not give any final judgment but we succeeded in getting a direction from the Hon HC that the review petition may be filed in the PCAT.
- AITEEA is exploring all the way and trying to arrange the fund to file the review petition as early as possible.
- AITEEA assures all its members that we will fight it to the last option available to us. may be it on organizational front or through the court of law, as `To fight for the justice to the deprived executives ` has been the only reason for the formation of this association.
24.09.2019: Update on the Pay Parity/22820 issue
- Friends,
- As we are aware that GoI is in a process of taking a decision regarding revival of BSNL and regular meetings are being held in various departments/nodal ministries since last couple of months. BSNL Management has made it well clear at various occasions that any pending issues on HR will be entertained only after Govt. decides on the revival of the Company. So any updates on any issue by any association are just an update for the sake of updating but are far from reality. AITEEA is waiting for the GoI decision, closely observing all the developments and will surely do its part as and when required.
24.09.2019: Do not believe any rumour
- Friends,
- Most of the Private telecom operators employ only 20-25 thousands peoples and use to spent only 4-5% of their revenue in wage bills. The recent data shows that their loss for the 1st Quarter of the financial year 2019-20 reaches nearly 5000 Crs i.e. if estimated the annual loss, it would come as high as Rs20,000 Crs.
- On the other hand, as per the Hon MoC Shri Ravishankar Prasad BSNL use to spent nearly 75% of its revenue earned on the salary bill of its employees and directly employs around 1,65,000 people in addition to other thousands of indirect employment, it creates. Despite unavailability of 4G spectrum and various natural challenges before BSNL, being a CPSU and along with working on various Govt. unviable projects as social obligations, BSNL manages to restrict the loss to 14000 Crs only as against 20,000 Crs of the Pvt Company. Also in comparison to the Pvt. Telcos, BSNL has almost nil loan and dues to the Banks. Now which Company is more efficient, a PSU or a Pvt??
- The services of these so called more efficient Pvt. Telcos have also been witnessed by the Public during any unfortunate natural calamities.
- So, the media people/reporters must introspect whether they are doing true reporting and are honest to their profession of journalism, when they use to run various sorts of propaganda targeting BSNL and creating unnecessary apprehension among the citizen of the country. They must go through the details and do their research well before writing a total immature write up in any news daily. The valued customers of the country are well aware and are able to analyze, which Company the PSU or the Pvt. Operators is serving the nation in better way.
- The revival plan, as proposed by the GoI along with allotment of 4G spectrum to BSNL has given a new hope to us all. BSNL has strata of well qualified and trained Engineers/technicians directly recruited from the open market through All India Tests and GATE who are well versed in all the advanced technology/telecom systems and are working with all their ability to uplift the Company. The only thing required from the BSNL management at this crucial juncture is to give the due recognition to the talent/potential; they have and extend the responsibility, they really deserve for in the Company. No one can prevent BSNL from reaching the top in the telecom sector.
04.08.2019: BSNL is far ahead of Pvt. Telcos in efficiency
- BSNL has been quite competitive in the telecom sector recently. Despite undergoing a financial crisis, BSNL has been coming up with lucrative offers for its customers in order to keep them happy. At the same time, it also wants to bring in more customers on board. After working on a few long-term plans, it introduced the 151-Abhinandan plan with a delicate balance between calls and data benefits. To make it more competitive, BSNL has now revised it with more benefits for the customer in mind.
03.08.2019: BSNL challenges Jio with 151-Abhinandan plan: Prepaid subscribers now get 50 per cent more data
- In a letter addressed to the circle heads of BSNL,Hon CMD Sir has stressed upon to improve the services, fast provisioning of the new circuits, increase in revenue ,improving the fund flow through the collection of the outstanding bills etc. with the support of the whole BSNL family.
- AITEEA welcomes and appeal all the young officers and employees of BSNL to put in their all efforts in order to meet the target, as desired by the Hon CMD, BSNL.
- But at the same time, AITEEA requests the Hon CMD sir to have a look on the pathetic condition of the DR GE JTOs of BSNL and injustice met to them in terms of their withheld promotion and pay issue settlement. He himself may decide the minimum career aspirations of a Direct recruited Graduate Engineer in BSNL and the motivation level of these officers, when the executives from the promote quota promoted and the same denied to the DR quota, sidelining the direction of the Hon HC. Fact being there is no stay from any court of law on issuing the promotions and a Graduate Engineer in BSNL is waiting for his very first promotion even after completing a service length of 17 years as an executive.
- Also issuing this due promotion order of the DR officers involves not even a single paisa as a financial burden but just to satisfy the ego of some vested interest in the personnel cell a big harm is being done to the motivation level of the core working executives of BSNL.
- We are hopeful , the new head of the Company would give due attention to settle these issues early.
16.07.2019: Message of the Hon CMD to the circle heads of BSNL :
- AITEEA, as a responsible association ,representing the young and the graduate engineers of BSNL fully supports the proposed measures as to be taken by the GoI for the revival and growth of BSNL. We do recognize the fact that a major chunk of the employees in BSNL either have no work at all or find it difficult to complete the work assigned to them due to the changed technologies and scenario in the telecom sector. In such a stiff competition, BSNL cannot survive with such a big wage bill resulting in a sever crisis of fund for upgrading the systems and network expansions, as needed essentially to be in the race. So we believe that any step of the Govt. to reduce the wage bill of BSNL in the form of VRS or other is a welcome move and it is in no way going to put any one on loss. No doubt ,the young employees of BSNL are ready to work hard and extra hours to turn around our beloved company BSNL.
- Friends,
- As you are aware, an important meeting of the GoM is scheduled today for the revival of BSNL. Shri Amit Shah ji, the Hon Minister of Home and Sri Ravishankar Prasad ji ,the Hon MoC are the members of this High powered group. If you support VRS in BSNL, please comment/put your views and re-tweet the following AITEEAs message on twitter. Let the views of the DR GE JTOs too reach this high powered GoM,before they take a decision on the revival of BSNL.
16.07.2019: AITEEA supports any suitable measures to be taken by the Govt. for the revival of BSNL :
- In his DO letter issued on 3rd June, Director (CM) has suggested some important steps to be taken by the field units to increase our customer base and revenue of the Company. AITEEA welcomes and appreciate any such move of the BSNL management and offer its fullest support on it.
- He has also conveyed for the wide publicity of this letter among the Executive Fraternity of BSNL. All the officers are requested to help, suggest better ideas (if any) and co-operate/contribute in implementing such sort of performance based work culture in the best interest of the Company.
29.06.2019: DO letter/Suggestions from the Dir (CM) to the field Units:
- Today AGS- AITEEA- Jitendra Nath, Vivek Shroti, Ravindra Khandare & Ashish Mishra met with newly selected Director (HR), Shri Arvind Vadnerkar Sir and greeted him. Team AITEEA apprised him about the long pending issue and sought his blessing. He assured to look into the issue once he takes the charge and advised us to meet thereafter. He also enquired about the reason & compulsions behind this enormous delay, which was apprised to him. Because of his employee friendly nature which has been witnessed by us in past, we have a very high hope of getting our issue resolved under his tenure.
22.06,2019: AGS,AITEEA met and greeted the New Director(HR)- designate:
- Today General Secretary, AITEEA writes to CMD, BSNL along with copies to all the concerned authorities in BSNL Corpo. Office on the pending HR issues i.r.o. the DRs Executives.
03.06.2019: General Secretary writes to CMD, BSNL
- AITEEA heartily congratulates Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad ji and Shri Sanjay Shamrao Dhotre ji on assuming the high office of the MoC and the MoSC . AITEEA offers its fullest co-operation as an Association of BSNL for any step of the Govt. on the revival of BSNL. We are confident that under your able leadership, we will bring BSNL out of the present crisis and will be able to serve the common citizen of the country in a better way.
01.06.2019: Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad ji takes charge of the telecom ministry
- AITEEA in the last 2-3 years tried all the way through the association platform and presented the pay loss issue to the various authorities in BSNL with all the justification. The issues took up even up to the Hon MoSC repeatedly but at each stage the authorities taken the shade of the adverse judgments of Hon PCAT on the issue.
- After having a detailed deliberation on the issue and taking in account the judgment of the Hon PCAT as the main roadblock in the issue settlement ,AITEEA CHQ resolved to challenge the judgment in the case of Shailendra Kumar Singh and others vs BSNL (OA 3208/2011) and to file a writ petition in the Hon HC New Delhi
- We will continue putting in our effort through all possible the way available to us till justice met to the deprived lot.
12.05.2019: AITEEA CHQ resolved to challenge the judgment of Hon PCAT (OA No. 3208/2011)
- AITEEA wishes a very Happy and Colorful Holi to all the BSNL employees and their loved ones.
21.03.2019: Happy Holi
- State owned telecom Company BSNL came with a high speed data service to its customers without any daily limit on use. Most awaited BSNL s 4G services also started.
20.03.2019: BSNL s gift to its customers:
- Today, GS AITEEA along with the AIP met the PGM (Pers.) regarding DPC i.r.o. the Direct Recruited officers of BSNL. GM (Pers.) categorically denied the DPC and told that till contempt is there ,management will not issue any promotion order from the JTO (T) to the SDE (T).Earlier it was being propagated by various associations that the promotion order is being delayed due to non-receipt of the reply from the SG on own merit/on merit reservation issue.As we had already enquired it over there regarding receipt of any such correspondence from the BSNL,PGM (Pers) expressed his displeasure over this and asked us not to intervene. We argued again that the contempt case is no way a hindrance in the promotion rather it would dilute the contempt case, if promotion to the DRs is being issued. But he clearly denied any promotion to the DRs Till any final judgement in the contempt case.
- Friends, It is now clear that the on merit/own merit is not at all any issue in our promotion rather it is just a tool to keep it pending.
- We requested him for the initiation of the LDCE exam for the pending vacancy years to fill up the vacant SDE(T) posts under 33% competitive quota.PGM(Pers.) asked us to meet the GM(Rectt.) for this and Pers. cell would be instructed to co-ordinate, wherever needed.
- GS and AIP would be meeting the GM (Rectt.) soon in this regard.
21.02.2019: GS AITEEA and AIP met the PGM(Pers) on the DPC issue:
- Friends,
- Even though AITEEA is not a constituent association of the AUAB, the name as All Unions and Associations of BSNL gives a sort of message that all the unions and associations of BSNL are taking part in the strike call given by the AUAB. So it became very essential for us to clear our stand on this strike.
- Keeping in view, the issues taken up in the strike notice of the AUAB and a total ignorant attitude towards the left out issues of the 2nd PRC, AITEEA CHQ has taken a decision not to be a part of this proposed strike wef 18th Feb 2019.
- Here we want to make it clear to all the young direct recruits of BSNL that after getting an invitation from the chairman/convener of the AUAB at earlier occasions, we requested them to take up the left out issues of the 2nd PRC in focus, AITEEA will extend all its support but they did not show any interests on the issues of the young direct recruits which are pending since as long as more than 10 years. More sad part is that leaders of one of the major constituent association of this AUAB cited repeatedly at various occasions the bad financial condition of the Company to justify low SAB contribution to the DRs/BRs.This was quoted despite knowing the facts that the SAB is due and is recommendation of the 2nd PRC, when they received the highest ever fitment benefit of 30%. Now, how the same people can go for strike demanding 3rd PRC without bothering for even the worse financial condition of the company.
- In the JTO RR 2014, the pay scale of the JTO cadre has been downgraded to E1 but these so called Comrades kept mum as they were not at all affected. The reduced pay to the post 2007, E1A recruited executives (i.e. the 22820) has never been an issue for these representatives, rather they played all the negative role to derail any settlement of the issue as a rigorous effort of the AITEEA. The AUAB, the champions of the Executives or the Messiah of the DRs never ever gone for any agitation on these issues, affecting 1000s of BRs/DRs. Is it their Comradeship?
- Friends, it s clear that these so called representatives of the employees lack a holistic or inclusive approach towards the issue resolution or for the betterment of the employees rather they are self centered/self oriented and have been selective in taking up the issues.
- So all the friends/ members of AITEEA and other young DR executives of BSNL may take a decision accordingly regarding their participation in this strike, keeping in view the stand taken by the association.
17.02.2019: AITEEA decided not to be a part of the proposed strike:
- Friends,
- AITEEA will never allow it to happen, the repeated injustice with the DR executives of BSNL.Thousands of the executives (JTO/SDE) are kept in a temporary pay Scales for the last 10 years. But the so called major unions/associations and the self-proclaimed well wishers of the DRs/BRs did not pay any heed to it. We also could not have worried on it, had we also been awarded our justified initial basic pay of Rs22820 like they got. What is the use of the Standard Pay Scale for them, as it is not going to benefit them monetarily? Then why would they speak on it? They will not, they will just do the drama and the show off of being concerned on the issue.
- But what about we, the post 2007 E1A recruited executives? We are gifted with a reduced pay in BSNL, as a bonanza of the the 2nd PRC in the year 2009 and are continuing with the same for last 10 years that too with a multiplying effect in the disparity /pay loss with each passing day.
- It is very illogical and surprising that without finalizing the pay scale of the core executives of the Company, BSNL is moving forward to implement the 3rd PRC. The natural question here arises is to which revised scales these executives would be mapped, if their Pre-revised scale itself is not final. Also there were no revised scales issued by the DPE for the E1A/E2A pay scales of the BSNL in the 2nd PRC guidelines rather the PSUs were told to map all the executives in the Standard pay scales only as notified by the DPE. Naturally in the 3rd PRC also there is no provision of the revised scales for these non-standard pay scales.
- Friends, it has become a habit of the BSNL HR team to play with all the directives/guidelines of the various concern departments (DoPT, DPE) and even with the directions of the Hon courts of the law. Moving forward on the 3rd PRC without having valid pre-revised pay scales for its executives and the contempt of the court committed in the recent DPC/Promotion case of the JTO (T) to the SDE (T) are the glaring examples of such an act/ approach of these HR Managers. By doing so, they not only harm the interests of the young core executives of the Company but their such a hostile approach on our issues costs to the company also in terms of expanses being met in defending their illegal acts in the court of law. No doubt these sorts of the negative approach is definitely resulting in a demoralized work force in BSNL and is adversely affecting the company s growth also in a very cut-throat competition in the telecom sector.
- As the time of discussions/representations to the BSNL management is over after BSNL already moved towards the 3rd PRC negotiation, we cannot wait any more to get these issues settled by the BSNL management on their own.
- Friends, AITEEA is well prepared to take up the matter to the Hon PMO and is also planning to explore the legal possibility if any to get the left out issues of the 2nd PRC settled in Toto before any settlement on the 3rd PRC in BSNL.All the suffering employees of the BSNL and other well wishers are requested to extend their all out support for this noble cause/movement for the justice.
- Such a situation is not at all desirable in the larger interest of the Company that in the same BSNL family 95% of the employees are getting over food to eat, while keeping 5% young and the core executives of BSNL empty stomach since last 10 years.
- AITEEA as an association will keep on fighting with all its strength till justice met to the deprived and sidelined community of BSNL.
01.02.2019: AITEEA cannot just allow it to happen:
- GS AITEEA wrote to the Hon CMD BSNL, requesting for his intervention for the immediate issuance of the promotion order i.r.o. the DR from JTO (T) to the SDE (T).
- Friends, the management cannot just ignore the huge resentments among the young officers of BSNL as caused due to the non-issuance of their long awaited and due promotion in BSNL.AITEEA will keep on taking up the issues of the DRs strongly before the management for its resolution.
22.01.2019: GS AITEEA wrote to the Hon CMD BSNL on the DPC/Promotion from JTO to SDE(T) in telecom stream:
- The report as published in the DC says even after about 19 years of existence, BSNL does not have well thought policy. The performance management system in BSNL is quite superficial. The promotion happens in a time bound manner and there is no recognisation of merit in the system. There is lack of professional leadership in the organization. Today mediocre people are holding important leadership in the organization, it said.
14.01.2019: BSNL faces huge technical, policy, low motivation challenge: IIM-A report:
- Today AITEEA ensured its well presence in the southern part of the country by forming its circle body in the Telangana Telecom Circle with a grand support from the DR Officers of the BSNL Telangana.

- Friends,
- AITEEA has taken up our issues of the DPC/Promotion to the high office of the Hon PM through the grievance portal of the PMO.Despite all the formalities / pre-preparatory works are over on the issues and even after repeated persuasion of the AITEEA ,the promotion order could not be issued and we got only assurances from the BSNL Management. Therefore we decided to take our issue to the high office of the Hon PM.
- Friends, we can not allow our six month hard work in preparation of the SCR/eligibility particulars to go in waste.Also this Promotion is our right and it must have been awarded to us years back.We will take all the steps needed to make this long awaited DPC through.
- So, All the DR officers are requested to go through the link attached and file your grievance along with the attached letter. The sample draft of the grievance in word is also attached herewith and you may just put your name and use it. Please attach the letter also as is given in attachment.
- In regard to our notice on the Mass protest at the Corp. Office wef 7th Jan, today Regional Labour Commissioner (Central), New Delhi invited GS, AITEEA for a talk and offered his intervention/mediation in the matter and thereby facilitating the maintenance of the industrial peace in the Company/BSNL.
- GS, AITEEA along with AIP, FS attended the meeting.GS AITEEA explained the RLC (Central) all the grievances of the Executives and the reason of serving the Mass Protest Notice to the BSNL Management. We explained him that we tried all other channels & avenues, as provisioned in BSNL for bringing the attention of the BSNL management towards the continuous injustice met to the young DR Officers of the Company. But BSNL Management shown a very ignorant attitude towards all these vital burning issues and kept these pending for more than 10 years long time, citing one or other reason/self built excuses.
- Ultimately our association AITEEA left with no choice except to adopt a path of Protest, which we never thought a good for the Company and its employees.
- RLC appreciated our concern and immediately spoken to the GM/SR BSNL and asked him why such an undesired approach is being taken by the BSNL management towards the genuine issues of the officers.
- GM (SR), while recognizing the genuineness of the issues, assured the RLC that all needed steps would be taken to settle the issues of concern. He said wherever there is any sort of litigation involved, a view of ASG is sought for. GM (SR) assured him for a time bound settlement of the issues to the maximum extent of feasibility.
- On this the RLC(Central), Delhi appealed the GS AITEEA to defer the proposed mass protest at least for a month and help in maintaining an industrial peace in the Company, also keeping in views the important services BSNL offers to the citizens of the country.
- There after one Meeting of GS AITEEA with GM (SR) also conducted in which he assured GS for the due consideration and time bound settlement of the issues.
- Taking account of the mediation & further appeal made by the RLC (Central) and assurance from the BSNL Management, AITEEA CHQ decided to defer the proposed Mass Protest wef the 7th Jan till further notice.
- AITEEA extends its heartfelt thanks to all those friends, who have shown their willingness to fight against the injustice met to us. We are specially and much thankful to those officers who are posted at distant places and had planned to be a part of this protest program and booked their journey tickets for the same.
- ---- Team AITEEA
- Today AIP, AITEEA along with the FS met GM (Pers.) on the issue of promotion from JTO (T) to the SDE (T) cadre. We stressed upon for the immediate release of the promotion order, as was assured to us earlier by the various authorities of BSNL.GM(Pers.) told that they are putting in their best for the early issuance of the promotion order but due to some new issues brought in at last moment, a little more time is needed to settle/resolve all those. We again told him that management must give a priority and the due consideration on the issue as, thousands of the DR Executives are waiting for their very first promotion in BSNL since years together. A friend, as is clear BSNL management seems to be more interested in slackening this DPC rather in issuing the order.
- The issue of the DPC for all the DR JTOs of 2007 & 2008 bathes was discussed with Madam Director HR in the presence of GM (SR) & OSD. Madam reiterated In principle approval of these promotions. At the same time, Madam also mentioned that all these promotions are subject to withdrawal of the OA at Ernakulum CAT apart from the dilution of the Contempt petition.We argued and countered that OA and contempt is no way a hindrance to the issuance of the promotion order.Fact being one set of executives from PR side given promotion and the due promotion to the other set of executives from DR quota denied,which only lead to such a situation.If promotions to the DR executives are being issued,it would automatically dilute the contempt of the court.Instead of citing contempt case again and again BSNL management must actually think of, on whose undue pressure such violation of the court direction committed. She also mentioned that roster maintenance/ST promotions may also be taken care of by Personnel section in the light of the recent meeting with the Parliamentary Committee as several leaders of the SC/ST associations approached Parliament for the same.
- A separate meeting with the GM (Pers.) on the same issue in the presence of our friends from 2007 & 2008 batch also happened. GM (Pers.) was taking pretext of the promotions of ST community in the light of the recent pressure meeting with Parliamentary Committee and by virtue of which he was trying to delay the process & exclude a major no. of friends from the 2008 DR batch.
- When it was raised that why it was not taken care during the earlier promotion of the JTO to SDE order dated 15.06.2018 and AO to CAO promotions on 20.11.2018. Why always WE are the target? GM (Pers.) had no answer to this question and later he asked us to discuss the reservation issue with GS SEWA & settle it.
- Pursuance and Patience seems to cross it s all limits and time has come to get united for all our sole issues and common cause. Time is demanding to act rather unnoticed & never ending futile pursuance thereof.
- Please join Mass Protest w.e.f. 07.01.2019 if all of you are really willing to settle it.
- Rest is your will ultimately it is your own career.
- Today, AIP, AITEEA visited corporate office and discussed the progress on the DPC for the JTO(T) to SDE (T). GM (Pers.) even tough told that the formalities are almost over but surprisingly seems not committal on issuing the order before the 1st week of January. It was clearly told by the AIP that officer s have already shown much patience and now no more must be expected by the management and requested him to ensure it well within the Dec-2018 itself.
- Today GS, AITEEA visited Corporate Office and met GM (Pers.) and other concerned officers involved in the DPC process.GM (Pers.) told that the needed formalities on the DPC are in the last stage and efforts are being made to complete it and issue the promotion order as early as possible, after taking a final nod from the Hon Director (HR).GS conveyed him the resentments among the DR officers, as it has passed almost six month since the process of the DPC started in June-July.
- GS requested him not to delay the due promotion of the executives anymore and issue it immediately. GM (Pers.) assured the promotion to the officers within a week or so. Let us hope a positive news very soon.
- Today, AITEEA served a Notice on Peaceful Mass Protest to the BSNL management on the long pending HR issues, affecting adversely thousands of young direct recruits of BSNL. We repeatedly presented these issues before the management and requested for their settlement, but unfortunately no head was given to these genuine and legitimate issues, resulting in a huge resentments and frustration among the suffering officers. No CPSU in the country, one can find where an Engineering Graduate officer is being denied for his/her 1st promotion in as long as a 10 years of service in the organization. Similarly you can also not witness a CPSU, where the Pay Scale of thousands of executives could not be finalized in a decade and they are kept in a degraded Pay scale.
- AITEEA never adopted or advocated a path of agitation to get the HR issues settled rather wanted to keep them busy in maintaining the services of BSNL in such a crucial phase of the Company. But such principle cannot be continued any more at the cost of the minimum aspirations of the young executives of BSNL, who are being discriminated repeatedly in one or other way. Earlier being put on suffering side on pay, now again their due promotion is not being given citing one or other illogical reason and on the behest of some vested interests. Surprisingly the same BSNL management use to issue the promotion order for the less qualified promote officers in the late night and get the circle offices opened even in weekly off days to get their joining accepted but searching for all the way to stall the promotion for the Graduate Engineer/ officers of BSNL. By doing so, what message actually BSNL management wants to convey among executives is beyond one s comprehension. Whether such an act will result in the betterment of the Company? Or will it motivate officers to put in extra efforts for the good health of the company?
- So, all the friends/ DR executive fraternity is being requested to gear up and get prepared for a conclusive battle for our own cause. It is a do or die situation in BSNL for the young officers of BSNL.We have already lost everything here, so are in a nothing to lose position. Please fight only to get the due respect and recognition for you in BSNL.No one here will care for you till you show your presence,united strength in true sense.
- GS, AITEEA visited Corp Office and met various responsible officers of Pers. Cell on the DPC issue and discussed the status on it. None of them seems to be ready for moving forward on the DPC and issuance of the promotion order to the DR lots. In the day long meetings of GS with various officers resulted in no concrete/ positive outcome. Management s internal meeting on the issue also could not reach on any conclusion, as learnt. As nothing positive came out of the meeting of GS AITEEA with these officers for the DPC, GS decided to meet Hon CMD on the issue.
- Later GS AITEEA met the CMD sir at around 6 PM and apprised him the resentment among the officers for unnecessary delay in the promotion. Hon CMD mentioned that he has already conveyed his view to HR wing on it. Thereafter a meeting of the DGM Pers. & OSD took place. Lets us see if any effect meeting the CMD, once tomorrow GM level officers will meet. We are hopeful for tomorrow that only can be said by the time.
- Today GS AITEEA along with AIP met Hon CMD, BSNL and reminded him for the pending DPC/promotion for the SDE (T) post i.r.o. the Direct recruits. Hon CMD told that necessary direction has already been conveyed to the Director (HR). As Director Madam is out of station, he will wait till 30th Nov (It seems he want to look into only after 30th November).
- GS also reminded him on the pay loss issue of the 2K7/2K8 batch JTOs. A presentation/reminder on the issue also served to the Hon CMD in the light of P. Savita D S Nakara case.GS told him that no company can flourish, keeping thousands of its young officers in demotivated state and requested him to do needful on the issue.
- After this both the GS and the AIP met OSD to the Director HR and enquired the status & the view of the Director (HR) on our DPC issue. He said that a reminder was already sent to the GM (Pers) for completing the DPC process. After request from the AITEEA, one more reminder from the OSD again sent to the GM (Pers) today itself.
- After getting these updates on the DPC from the Hon CMD and the O/o the Dir(HR) both the GS and the President met GM(SR) on the issue. He categorically denied any promotion before 30.11.2018.
- Finally both met the GM (Pers). A heated argument took place with GM(Pers), as it was well clear that Pers. cell is working in a close synch with and on behest of an association and is taking the stand accordingly. As the hurdle of contempt is definitely going to settle today or tomorrow in near future but Per. cell seems to be in a plan of bringing another roadblock in our promotion and is not ready to go with promoting the Direct Recruits in any circumstance. GS told him clearly that if the necessary steps not taken to effect the due promotion of the DR executives, AITEEA along with the young officers of the BSNL would be forced to take a step, which AITEEA never advocated for the settlement of the issues.
- Friends, be ready to reach the Corp. Office on one call to snatch your right on any day after 1st week of Dec,as it is clear that Pers. Cell/BSNL management is not serious on any issues, affecting the young executives of BSNL.
- Today GS AITEEA had a meeting with the Hon CMD, BSNL and discussed the issue of the DPC and the pay loss i.r.o. the E1A recruited executives. GS apprised him with the demoralization and the resentment among the suffering officers over the DPC issue.
- He also submitted that most of the officers have decided not to celebrate the Diwali festival, protesting the non-issuance of their long pending promotion order by the BSNL management.
- It seems, he is not happy with the contempt petition, but GS AITEEA told him that the issue is mainly DR vs PR. Promote have already been awarded their promotion and if management decides to go for promoting the direct recruits also, the contempt will automatically gets diluted. If it is not done, it may give a sense of favour to one section.GS tried his best to melt the ice and we are hopeful for a positive action from the BSNL management.
- GS reminded him over pay loss issue also. On this, he told he has all the earlier discussion in his memory. GS quoted one recent RTI Reply of the DPE regarding initial basic pay of an executive, recruited in a scale and requested him to examine the issue in the light of it.Hon CMD asked to give a fresh representation incorporating the DPE reply in this regard. The desired presentation will be given to him within due course of time.
- Friends keep in mind, Sufferers are the best to represent the issue.
- Today GS, AITEEA wrote to the Sec, DoT on the left out issues of the 2nd PRC in order to clear the doubts/illusion created by the various corners on the left out issues. It has been observed that people use to explain the left out issues of the 2nd PRC differently at different occasions and at different platforms in accordance to their suitability and convenience. The actual left out issues normally gets covered under other issues of interests of the vested interests .AITEEA therefore felt it necessary to apprise the BSNL management and the apex authority in the DoT with a detailed note on it. Also the issues pertain to the BSNL recruits and thousands of our friends are struggling since last around 10 years to get their rightful dues.
- Friends, this time let us all get united to take it to its final conclusion.
- Friends,Today GS,AITEEA had a meeting with OSD to the Dir (HR) and discussed the DPC/Promotion issue of the JTO(T) to SDE(T).GS told him that all the required data already reached the Corp. office, but no action yet been taken by the Pers. Cell to issue the promotion order. Since there is no stay on the promotion from any court, there should not be any reason to linger on the due promotion of the Direct recruited executives.OSD sir told us that Madam Dir(HR) is always ready for the genuine promotion of the officers but the final decision has to be taken by the Hon CMD only on the issue.
- Meanwhile GS met Mr Prahlad Rai, the GS AIBSNLEA and discussed the way out for the early promotion of the JTOs waiting for it. A joint presentation of the AIBSNLEA & the AITEEA submitted to the management in this regard. It was also decided that a meeting with the Hon CMD would be arranged shortly and all efforts would be made to convince him on the issue.
- Friends,
- AITEEA has started a twitter campaign for the early conduction of our DPC and promotion. All are being requested to take part in it by publicizing, tweeting/re-tweeting with comments and making it a success. Friends, it must be done irrespective of one's association belongingness, as it is for a common cause and to make our pain and agony reach the top BSNL management for settling our genuine and long awaited promotion.
- If our DPC issue get well noticed through this campaign on twitter, we may get a desired result as it is well justified. Promotion order of the promotes already issued 4 month back itself and there is no stay order from any court on it.
- Friends,
- Today the meeting of the AITEEA with the Hon CMD, BSNL, as was scheduled could not take place due to some urgent call from the ministry. Later on a meeting with the Hon Director (HR) took place on the DPC issue.
- GS, AITEEA stressed upon for the early conduction of the DPC and promotion of the executives, waiting for their first promotion in BSNL.It was conveyed by Madam that Hon CMD, BSNL has directed us to wait till outcome of the contempt case, before moving further on the DPC.GS told that Management should agree for the due promotion of the executives, which should have happened 5-6 years back itself in the normal condition. Moreover they are the innocent people and working sincerely for the good health of the Company and BSNL management must respect their minimum aspiration in the best interest of the Company. GS, AITEEA requested Madam for the early conduction of the DPC, as neither there is any change in the litigation status, as was there on 15th June nor the Hon court has prevented BSNL to effect the promotion order. At last after listening all the points raised, Madam asked us to have patience and she would be releasing a DO letter very soon.
- Friends it is very surprising that after a mammoth effort of the 2k7/2k8 friends across the circles, the SCR/AIEL data and the required VCs send to the Corp office, despite several resistances in the Circle offices. Now after all the data reached the Corp Office, the due DPC and promotion is being delayed for one or other reason. We are not ready to hear any excuse from any corners .We will fight for the early conduction of the DPC/promotion.
- BSNL Management should either effect promotion to all the eligible officers for whom the required particulars are with them or revert the officers, promoted in the midnight of 15th June All please be united and add up your voices demanding the DPC/Promotion right now.
- Today on 28.09.2018 General Secretary AITEEA along with AIP & FS AITEEA scheduled a meeting with Hon. Director HR madam in presence of OSD to Dir HR and discussed on the DPC for JTO to SDE in Telecom Stream. Madam assured timely promotion. GS apprised about pending SCR of AP & TS Circles. Hon. Madam instructed PGM (Pers) to update on the pending SCR & make a reminder note in this regard to the concern Circle Heads. Madam apprised GS that on Monday petitioners of contempt are coming to meet her. AITEEA is consistently pursuing & clearing all the obstructions before our promotions.
- Later on more than 2 hours discussion lasted in the chamber of Hon. OSD to Dir HR with GS & AIP AITEEA and important feedback given on the DPC issue.
- Friends, DPC is sure to happen for the JTO(T) to SDE(T) and we may get our due promotion very soon . We are in constant touch with the top BSNL Management.
- In response to our yesterday s meeting with the GM(SR) and OSD to the Hon Dir(HR) on DPC ,reminder letter issued to the circles for sending the required SCR and VC of the JTOs up to the RY-2008 before 20th of this month.
- All the Circle office bearers and volunteers are requested to work on war footing basis for the timely submission of the data thereby enabling the CHQ to further pursue for the early conduction of the DPC.
- Friends, in Continuum of the earlier meeting of AITEEA on 24.08.2018 with the Hon Dir (HR) on DPC issue, today GS AITEEA met GM (SR) and OSD to the Hon Director (HR) on the JTO to SDE promotions, pending in Telecom stream.
- GS apprised BSNL management that cent percent SCR can not be achieved in one go and BSNL Management should not wait for the same ideal condition to effect the promotion order. Rather BSNL management should start conducting the DPC with the necessary undertaking from the executives (if any).
- Further GS requested OSD to the Hon. Director (HR) for an immediate time bound reminder to the circles regarding submission of the SCR/VC and for the strict following the time line to comply on this important issue, concerning thousands of the young officers of BSNL.
- OSD Sir assured that the matter is being taken up with the Pers. cell repeatedly for issuance of necessary reminder, as asked to the circles. It was also confirmed that in the first phase 4500 seats under SCF quota will be filled. They responded positively for the conduction of DPC within this month.
- The reminder letter may be issued/uploaded today itself or by tomorrow.
- Friends keep on extending your support; AITEEA will try its best to get the promotion order issued at its earliest.
- Today,as scheduled a meeting of the AITEEA took place with the OSD to the Hon MoSC, the Sr officers of the DoT and the BSNL on the pay loss issue of the E1A recruited executives .
- Following Officers of the DoT and BSNL management were present in the meeting:
- Shri A N Rai,former-CMD,BSNL
- Shri Saket Kumar,IAS and PA to the Hon MoSC
- Shri Pawan Gupta, Director,PSU in DoT
- Shri Keshav Rao, GM (Pers.), BSNL
- Shri Sheo Shankar Prasad, DGM (Estt.)
- From the Association side GS,AITEEA Shri Manoj Singh and AGS Shri Jitendra Nath participated and presented the issue.
- The officers from the DoT and the BSNL cited the court verdict again and again in the Shailendra case and told there is no scope to give any benefit as desired by the association AITEEA.GS opposed this and pleaded that the case lost by an individual in the court of law due to the improper documentation and lack of the fund can not be generalized and imposed on all the suffering executives of BSNL.GS,AGS contended referring the judgment of the Hon Supreme court in the P. Savitha case also and requested to examine the issue in the light of the judgment. But they did not agree to it. Actually it was felt that the officers from the DoT and the BSNL management were not at all interested to go into the merit of the issue rather were having a pre-decided mind set for not to settle it.
- On our submission that the BSNL management has already resolved similar anomaly by allowing special dispensation at three occasions, Shri A N Rai sir told that BSNL did it optionally and they can do it for other E1A recruited also but we cannot direct BSNL to do so.
- We also raised the issue of the standard pay scale in the meeting and asked why we are still continuing in a temporary scale despite serving more than 8-9 years in BSNL.Dir(PSU) told it has already been finalized by the DOT and the PO in this regard has also been issued. We asked him how can DoT finalize an intermediate scale,Did DoT take any approval of the DPE?On this he had no reply but said let the comments if any come from the DPE.Facts being DPE had already rejected the intermed. Pay scale of BSNL and DoT years back.But it seems that DoT is not ready to replace the E1A with the Standard Pay Scale E2.
- Friends, AITEEA tried its level best and arranged meetings with the Hon MoSC again and again and also succeeded in his kind intervention on our issue. Despite all these efforts, we are empty handed only. No one either from the BSNL management or from the DoT is ready to see the loss as being faced by the executives. Instead of adopting a positive mind set to resolve this long pending issue,they seem to be much busy in searching the negative points if any to justify their stand on the it.AITEEA is of the firm belief that such HR management is in no way going to help the company.
- Friends, AITEEA is not going to give up rather after discussing the today s meeting with the CHQ and other core members, shortly we will come with our next course of action. We will explore all the possibilities which may take the issue to its conclusion.
- Later we had another meeting with the GM (SR)on various issues.Thereafter with the Director HR in the presence of GM (Pers), OSD to the Director HR & DGM (Estt.) on the DPC issue for the JTO to SDE posts. We requested Dir (HR) madam that in the name of the court cases and thereby dispute on the criteria for deciding the seniority, our DPC should not be put on a break. It must be conducted and promotion order needs to be issued as was done recently for the promotes. We requested her to take all the steps ,as required to expedite the DPC. BSNL management agreed over this but asked us to wait till the last week of the month.
- We raised the pay loss issue also before the Dir (HR).It was informed that the pay issue is under the examination of the BSNL management and not yet concluded.We are advised to discuss the same after the DPC row gets over.
- Dear executives fraternity of BSNL, as you are well aware that to bring our long pending and justified pay issue into the notice of the higher authorities, AITEEA has started a campaign on twitter. Please take this tweet/re-tweet count to thousands in order to bring our long pending issue of standard pay scale on the discussion table of the highest authority in the Ministry. Make it a movement on twitter, so as to attract the desired attention of the Hon MoSC and other Sr officers in the department for the settlement of this very genuine issue, pending in DoT since long back.
- Even though the meeting in the ministry on 24th August is about pay loss/anomaly issue but if our tweet count reaches in thousands, the discussion may take place on this important issue also in the background of the speaking order of BSNL.
- So friends, it is requested kindly spare only 5 minutes for twitting/re-twitting on your own issue and contributes for the early settlement of the issues concerning the young officers of BSNL.
- Today GS and President AITEEA met Hon CMD on the main issues of concern for the young DR executives of BSNL i.e. the Pay Parity and the DPC for the JTO(T) to SDE(T).GS,AITEEA conveyed the resentments of the suffering executives of the 2k7 & 2k8 batch JTO to the Hon CMD and requested for his kind intervention for an early resolution of the same.
- On the pay parity issue Hon CMD sir assured that he will direct the Est. cell to re-examine it in the light of the Hon SC judgment on P Savitha case.
- On the DPC and promotion of JTO to SDE under seniority quota he told that needful would be done by the Pers. Cell and advised to get regular updated from there.
- Letters on the above issues also submitted. Hope some positive developments on the issues affecting our friends from 2007/08 DR JTOs
- Today General Secretary & President, AITEEA met the GM(Pers) and the GM(SR) and held discussion on the issues in focus.
- Discussion took place with the GM (Pers) on the progress in the preparation of the AIEL, and other preparatory works for the DPC i.r.o. the promotion from the JTO (T) to the SDE (T) cadre. GM Pers. seems to be non-committal on the conduction of DPC for all the executives up to the RY-2008.GS made it clear to him that the due right of the executives can't not be withheld on one's pressure ,may be it from any corners. On one side in CPSU its 5 yrs period prescribed for each promotion, how can one deny a promotion to the executives, who have already served more than 8-9 years as a JTO.GS requested to ensure that all the eligible officers get their due promotion, before switching over to the CPSU, as vacancies are sufficient to do the same.
- Later on GS and AIP met the GM(SR) and discussed both the issues of Pay and Promotion.We requested GM(SR) to take up the issues to the concerned verticals for their early resolution and he assured for the same.
- Friends,
- To bring our long pending and justified pay issue into the notice of the BSNL management, AITEEA has started a campaign on twitter. We are not asking any pay hike or extra remunerations for us rather it is only the long pending and justified pay for our hard work. We only want the discrimination with the young DR executives in BSNL must go. The reason behind choosing this twitter platform is that we do not want to go for an agitation, which may result in an adverse effect on the Company`s revenue and image in such a crucial and competitive period. This twitter campaign in no way affects our daily duty and assignments towards BSNL.It is a sort of SATYAGRAH for our rightful due.
- Therefore all the affected executives and other well wishers are requested to please tweet/re-tweet maximum on the following given links with the same #, as in the original message in order to bring the attention of the BSNL management towards this issue for its early resolution.
- Friends,
- Don't lose heart but stand up, unite and fight against the injustice. All the negative forces are active and conspiring to stop the ongoing pre-preparatory work for the conduction of the DPC for the vacant SDE(T) posts.
- You all are aware of the fact that despite our repeated logical and justified representations before the management for the suitable relaxation in the CPSU draft to the most suffering executives of the 2k7 and 2k8 batches in terms of their lost service for the promotion ,it was not considered due to the pressure from one or other corners.
- AITEEA demanded and suggested that their total service in the scale E1 and E2 be added together for considering the promotion to the Sr Manager Grade and suitable relaxation may be provisioned accordingly like done for others in the AGM promotion. But they did not agreed for this also. This was the suffering level when CPSU was proposed to get implemented w.e.f. 01.01.2017.Now once Board approved it with current date, the loss of the service to this group of executives widened further.
- When before the implementation of the CPSU cadre hierarchy, all including the management started demanding and conducting various DPCs on war footing basis, why it is not for us? Despite availability of thousands of vacancies and eligible officers waiting for their promotion since long back, they kept a big silence on the DPC for JTO (T) to SDE (T).Why such a partial approach towards us? Because, we are not united.
- Friends, BSNL must fill all the vacancies of various posts up to the date of effect of the CPSU through the existing RR, before switching over to this new promotion policy to avoid any major loss to the existing executives and also to avoid any further litigation. Let we together ensure this.
- Please don't get deviated ,be united, make effort for getting all the formalities completed at the Field/Circle offices and required APR/VCs be sent to the Corporate office in time, AITEEA is ready to fight for our concerns legally as well as through organizational front.
- State owned telecom Company BSNL started its internet telephony service WINGS today
- All the circle office bearers and other volunteers as nominated, Please put in your all out efforts to ensure the timely preparation of the Eligibility list in the JTO(T) cadre and sending it with the required APR/VC to the Corporate office, so that the AITEEA CHQ may pursue it for further necessary action and to avoid any delay in promotion.
- On the invitation of the young officers of AP Circle, having serious concerns over the discriminatory approach towards the young direct recruits of BSNL, GS AITEEA joined them in a meeting conducted at Vishakhapattanam.
- The issue of pay parity/22820 discussed in details. The steps taken by AITEEA for the resolution of the issue and the roles and stand of various associations on the same was discussed. It was told by the officers that the GS of the majority Association specifically denied the pay parity issue, two months back during his visit to AP and said that the resolution of the issue is possible, only after the finalization of the Std Pay Scale E2.GS AITEEA rejected his claim and explained the legitimacy and genuineness of the pay parity issue. Participating members shown their agreements with GS AITEEA and well appreciated the efforts of the AITEEA on the issue. GS Mr Manoj Singh replied to all the queries raised by the members. The future course of action to resolve the issue also discussed in the meeting. Members wanted a final call to settle the issue at earliest.GS AITEEA acknowledged it and assured for an appropriate action at appropriate time.
- Later, the ongoing DPC for the SDE (T) posts, Standard Pay Scales for JTOs and SDEs of BSNL and proposed CPSU cadre hierarchy also discussed. GS apprised the members about the court cases filed by the AITEEA in the CAT, Kolkata and in the PCAT New Delhi on the Std Pay Scale and on the DPC issue respectively.GS explained them the very need of these legal remedies to ensure justice to the deprived officers of BSNL. The feedback and suggestions of the officers recorded by the GS to decide future action plan for the resolution of all these issues.
- The meeting was attended by Shri Rajesh Kumar,Shri Kishore ji,Shri Surendra ji ,Shri Bhanu Teja ,Shri Shridhar ji,Madam Gayatri,Madam Manorama and other friends..
- GS, AITEEA thanked all the officers for showing their concerns for the executive community welfare and for the conduction of such a wonderful meeting.
- Friends, the case OA/2481/2018, as filed by the AITEEA on 02.07.2018 in the PCAT, New Delhi, requesting the Hon court to direct BSNL for the conduction of the DPC for the vacant SDE (T) posts up to current VY ,listed and heard on 05.07.2018.Hon PCAT issued notice to the respondent BSNL to clear its views on the grievances sought and why the vacant positions of the posts are not being filled up before the implementation of the new promotion policy i.e. the CPSU cadre hierarchy.
- Friends, this all has been done as a precautionary measure to safeguards the interests of our batch mates from the 2k7 and 2k8.
- Friends,
- To ensure all the promotional avenues of the post 2007 Executives, apart from consistent persuasion with BSNL Management, AITEEA today finally filed a case in PCAT New Delhi, requesting for a direction from the Hon. Court to BSNL Management to conduct all the pending DPC up to the current VY in line with the DPC conducted in other stream & cadres before implementation of the CPSE Hierarchy.
- Preparing the AIEL does not guarantee for promotion through DPC.
- The intention of AITEEA is not to obstruct CPSE Hierarchy but to complete the remaining DPC in line with other DPCs before switching to CPSE hierarchy for a smooth and litigation free CPSE hierarchy.
- Friends,
- 1) The almighty association which has forced management to increase the DE level post to accommodate junior SDEs for promotion to DE.
- 2) The almighty association which has forced management to increase the AO level post to accommodate the junior JAOs for promotion to the AO .
- 3) The almighty association which has forced management to issue the JTO to the SDE promotion order at midnight, even without preparing the AIEL and by-passing the Hon Kerala high court judgment.
- 4) The almighty association which has forced management to issue the SDE to DE promotion order at midnight.
- 5) The almighty association which has forced CGMs to open circle offices on a holiday to make their joining possible on a back date.
- 6) The almighty association which arranges a grand party for the BoD for the approval of CPSE hierarchy.
- Please think our 2k7&8 batch innocent JTOs
- Will it really be tough for this almighty association to get the Pay Parity/ 22820 approved in one go? No, Not at all. Actually they have no intention to solve it. So their strength is of no use for us.
- We need a good intension also along with the strength to get the issues solved.
- Please note: All the above 6 achievements have been claimed by this almighty association itself.
- Friends, some unfortunate and unpleasant incident,as happened on the old telegram group, like blocking and removal of some friends for raising their genuine concerns,addition of some un-intended persons in the group, defeated the very purpose of it. Due to this, Some friend created a new group namely JTOs 2k7 &8: Official Page, with a mechanism of member verification by a member only to avoid any un-intended person s entry in the group.
- So,all friends are requested to join the same by clicking on the link given below and have a fruitful discussion on all the issues affecting them.
- Today GS & AIP, AITEEA met with Hon CMD,BSNL on DPC & PAY issue. GS Sh Manoj Singh put up both the issues of Pay and DPC before him and reminded Hon CMD that the post 2007 batches are already suffering in Pay and if any discriminatory approach adopted on DPC/CPSU,it would result in widespread de-motivation and resentment among the young officers. AIP Sh Ashish Karan requested for the immediate conduction of the DPC to fill up all the vacant post of SDE(T) up to 2017-18, before implementing the CPSE cadre Hierarchy. CMD assured for conduction of the same and immediately directed concern vertical to take necessary action. On Pay parity issue also, he assured for a sympathetic look. We are thankful to Hon CMD sir for his kind intervention.
- Dear friends,Please come, join and strengthen your own association,AITEEA in the interest of all. AITEEA is well prepared and committed to protect the interests of all the young officers. Please support the association, which is really struggling/fighting for your cause.
- Friends, after facing a discrimination in the pay,the evil designs of some corners is again going to harm us on promotional front. For the success of their such evil thoughts getting implemented, Who is more responsible? Whether any Association? BSNL Management? Actually none of them. We ourselves are the most responsible for our such a state, our fragmented strength is responsible, our wrong judgement and our wrong choice of association is responsible. Majority of us failed to sense the true color of those and strengthen such hands, which were and are being used to hammer our heads only. We failed to judge which association is working for us and which are involved in a continuous conspiracy against us.
- No doubt, BSNL management also played a major role in putting us to the suffering side on the behest of one or other. The role of the management seems to have been taken over by some of the associations.HR policies are not being designed in line of the other reputed CPSUs with a focus on increase in motivation level of the officers, performance based work culture or increase in business or quality of services, rather decisions are being taken to appease some section of the employees or associations.It may be seen clearly that the most performing HR Assets i.e. the young Engineering graduates are being humiliated and De-motivated all the way.
- Friends AITEEA is committed to bring all the dues of these officers to them.It is our responsibility now to take care of the Company s interest, its financial health and if anyone have ill desire towards it, we need to expose them,we need to weaken such negative powers, we need to fail them in doing so.
- So, Please come, join and strengthen AITEEA for protecting our interests, for protecting the BSNL interests and to develop a conducive work environment in the Company by bringing justice to all. Please take the membership of AITEEA, filling the Subs form and be part of the struggle for the betterment of all.

- GS, AITEEA wrote to the Joint Secretary (Admn),DoT ,requesting for his kind intervention for the conduction of the DPC i.r.o. the SDE(T) post up to the current Vacancy year i.e. up to 2017-18.GS pointed out that filling up of all the vacancies available till date through the existing RR is very much necessary in order to avoid any further litigation and thereby blocking the little available career aspirations of the executives.

- GS,AITEEA along with Mr MPS Tomar,CS ALTTC visited Corporate Office and had a discussion with the GM(Pers) and the Joint GM (Pers) on DPC for the SDE (T) post. GS requested him to conduct the DPC up to the current vacancy year to accommodate all the eligible officers, waiting for their first promotion in BSNL since long back.GS told him that eligible officers are there, sufficient vacancies are also there then what is preventing them to go for it. It is also very much necessary to compensate at least some service, they are losing w.r.t. the promotion on account of the proposed CPSU wef 01.07.2018.Joint GM (Pers) told as LDCE not yet held for the remaining vacancy years, it is not possible to go for the DPC for those vacancy years. Even though there is no such clause in the SDE RR,which makes it mandatory for conducting the LDCE first for a vacancy year, Joint GM(Pers) seems to be non-committal on the DPC up to current vacancy years, citing one or other reasons. Friends it is a matter of great injustice to the young officers of BSNL, particularly to 2007/08 batch JTOs,as they are again going to be on suffering side due to their 8-9 years service rendered in JTO cadre would be treated as 5 years only in the CPSU cadre hierarchy. So it is being requested all, please get united and be prepared for the struggle against all such things happening in BSNL targeting the young officers only on behest of one or other vested interests.

GS explained him in detail the loss to the suffering executives in comparison to even the Pre-revised scale/pay and requested for his intervention to settle it.
- Hon Minister was kind enough to give sufficient time and listened all the valid points/arguments on the issue patiently and assured for his kind intervention in the matter.

On all these issues, necessary persuasions have been made by our association AITEEA on regular basis and are still being perused sincerely for their resolution.
- We do accept that most of the friends from the young executives are the supporter of the AITEEA,but it is also a fact that majority are not the paid members of the association and are still continuing with the membership of those associations, which are using our own strength to harm us by taking a total negative stand on all the issues of our concern. By citing their membership count on the roll before the management, they are playing the dirty game and using the strength of our own community to derail all the issues from its final resolution. It is now very much needed to show our unity under the banner of the AITEEA and defeat the ill motive of these selfish people on our issues.
- Friends you are aware that the coming 5-6 months are the deciding time window for our whole career in BSNL, as the pay, promotion and all other policies concerning the executives have to be finalized within this time.

- Today After meeting the GM (SR), GS had a meeting with the GM (Est.) on the issue of pay parity to the JTO-2007 and 2008 batches.
- In the discussion it was told that the financial implication involved in settling the issue is too much.GS raised a serious objection on the creation of confusion and illusion by some of the officers and trying to equate the 2007-08 batch direct recruited JTOs with the other post 2007 JTOs and thereby giving a heavy figure for the financial implication involved in the issue settlement.
- Friends,Since the beginning of the committee formation in Jan 2017, the majority association SNEA is trying its level best to derail the issue settlement by putting a demand of pay parity for all the post 2007 JTOs again and again, despite knowing all the facts that the direct recruited JTOs of 2007 and 2008 batches are recruited under different recruitment rule,at different pay scale and their pay issue is distinct from other post 2007 JTOs.
- The stand of the majority association SNEA towards settlement of our long pending and genuine pay issue is well known to all. The inclusion of the section of the employees on the behest of one or other and calculation of the financial burden for which the pay issue is already a settled one, is nothing but a negative approach to derail the issue.
- Friends from the deprived executive community, will have to take a final call on any support to the majority association SNEA and now there should not be any confusion in ones mind regarding SNEA role in derailing the issue from its settlement.
- Today our GS Mr Manoj Singh met GM (SR), BSNL CO and raised the issues of long pending rule-8 transfer cases of the executives.

The non-settlement of their long due transfer given birth to a genuine resentment among the officers, which is neither good for the company nor for the officers.GM (SR) assured to take up the matter to the concern circle heads for the issue be given a due consideration.
