On the
basis of availability of JTOs Telecom against Sanctioned posts, the status of
recruiting circles as on 31/01/2025 is decided for considering the pending Rule
8 requests transfers of JTOs. Hope this will give scope for consideration of
certain Pending Rule 8 Requests.

BSNL CO issued cancellation of the recently issued Rule 9 Temporary transfer of
JTO recruited under Special LICE Quota. Copy<<<>>
This
cancellation of Rule 9 transfers is issued by quoting reason that the said JTO has been
promoted from JE to JTO cadre under special LICE Quota and even though he is
having genuine medical grounds to consider the Temporary Transfer under Rule 9
Transfer Policy, he is not eligible for Temporary Transfer under Rule 9 as the
same is banned by certain restrictions while conducting Special LICE.
This
really unfortunate and inhuman approach due to restrictions put during
conducting special LICE for which every JTO was asked to submit undertaking.
SNEA has taken up this issue with Director HR for granting Rule 9 Transfers for
JTOs qualified under Special LICE in such genuine cases and also for allowing
mutual Transfers of the JTOs recruited under Special LICE.
It is
stringent that due to such rigid restrictions to overcome the genuine family
issues about 40 JTOs who have successfully undergone JTO training for 33 weeks
and posted as JTO have to get reverted as JE, to return entire expenditure of
training and the get reversion as JE to join back to parent Circle. It is harsher
that after two years of service as JTO even such reversion is not allowed and
in such genuine critical medical cases
also, the son/daughter cannot get
transfer to take care of parents facing critical illness and nothing worst can
be possible in any HR policy.
JTO is smallest post in Executive cadre and such high level restrictions even having genuine medical grounds, is nothing but harsh punishment to these JTOs and we are pursuing for getting the rules modified /relaxed so that human approach is possible in dealing with genuine requests of JTOs recruited under special LICE. Let us hope for the best.
