SNEA Meeting with CMD BSNL on pending HR Issues: On Friday, 01/08/2025 at 1930 Hrs GS SNEA had a meeting with Shri. A. Robert J. Ravi, CMD BSNL in presence of Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director HR BSNL.

This meeting was mainly focused on delay in resolution of HR issues and consideration of OTP Requests from Non-Tenure Circle for the last two quarters and forceful relieving of executives by neglecting their pending representations on genuine grounds and so on.

Starting the discussions, we once again requested for clearing disputes in Promotions of the Civil /Electrical wing executives, which has been repeatedly assured to us but not resolved for the last one year. We categorically brought to notice of CMD BSNL that hearing in the combined court cases on the subject is scheduled in the second week of August 2025. We submitted that a timely decision on this issue will clear all these court cases and will avoid any further complications due to the court case thereof.

But CMD BSNL reacted that we are coming with issues only but executives are not working in the field units and directed us to ask them to work. We have responded that all the executives are giving their best in very odd conditions and it is not correct that executives are not working. We added that there is lack of motivation among executives due to non-settlement of HR issues and even their grievances.

CMD BSNL was of the opinion that he is doing everything for executives but he is not getting output from executives as desired by him. We responded that after repeated requests from us, nothing has been resolved by the management and we have been given only assurances by the Management for a long time. We submitted that these issues are decided at below level and submitted to him by concerned verticals through Director HR but are pending undecided at his level.

We added that we are convincing executives to give their best and they are doing also but there is a need for concrete resolution of certain issues with final decisions by his office for minimum level of motivation.

We categorically brought to his notice that there is nothing given by Management rather avoidable compulsions are being created on the executives by putting non-constructive ideas like Digital Daily Diary, Mobile App attendance with face locking , non-consideration of OTP requests by quoting it as annual single transfer which is next to impossible but giving consideration to some request on pick and choose basis etc.

We elaborated that when Management is not in position to give the overdue financial benefits of executives for the last few years by quoting financial constraints but there should not be any issue in settlement of issues not having any financial implications including Own Cost OTP Requests.

We added that instead of any relief by resolution of pending HR issues, the executives are compelled to give more and more that to by paying from their pockets for the office work. In such a situation, how does management expect more and more output is a big question and management has to review its stand.

But CMD BSNL was of the firm opinion that Executives are not working and hence expressed his reluctance to decide anything including OTP transfers and again asked us to keep patience up to April 2026 for OTP transfers.

We responded that there is mass unrest among the executives due to non-resolution of HR issues and how hard earned Money of BSNL is being wasted in court cases. When many issues wherein court cases can be avoided and BSNL Money on court cases can be saved are not decided by him for the last six month to one year, even after weekly reminder by us to him, Director HR and PGMs concerned and how can management expect more and more output is big question.

After this CMD BSNL asked Director HR the details on this promotional dispute of Civil/Electrical wing and he informed that he has already submitted all relevant details in the last fortnight and assured to submit details again.

SNEA once again submitted a brief note on it and explained the factual position and how it is in the interest of BSNL as well as executives of BSNL. Copy<<<>> CMD BSNL went through it and directed Director HR to discuss it next week and once again assured us to decide this issue at the earliest.

On consideration of pending OTP Requests from Non-Tenure Circles for the last two Windows and from Tenure stations in current window, CMD BSNL expressed that now it has been decided by him that the Transfer posting will be annual matter and instructed Director HR to see that henceforth no transfer posting issue will be discussed till April 2026 and he given consent for the same.

We asked how it can be an annual transfer order only in case of OTP Requests, when the Pers section is issuing one or other transfer orders every day. We also narrated that already clear guidelines are available on issuing OTP Requests on six monthly basis and these were followed till his joining and the same has been kept on hold by him in December 2024 when order was issued and ready to publish.

CMD BSNL asked Director HR about the status and Director HR confirmed that OTP Requests are not considered for all executives but few are given consideration in recent orders.

On this, CMD BSNL said that whatever possible cases are given consideration and it is not possible to give consideration to all OTP requests and the association should not expect consideration of 100% Requests.

We categorically brought to his notice that in recent transfer orders Pers section has transferred executives to the Circles at Company cost wherein Own Cost OTP Requests of many executives are pending and they are ready to join at their own cost. We shared that we would like to know reasons for the wastage of BSNL money on such Company Cost Transfer orders with wastage of few Crores of Rupees neglecting Own Cost Transfers wherein no expenditure is involved but the same was not responded by CMD BSNL.

We added that surprisingly the names of executives whose OTP Request was considered in Transfer order of Dec 2024 are not at all seen in order dated 02/05/2025 and many more new names were added on pick and choose basis and this is a serious matter of concern and we stressed for its consideration.

CMD BSNL again expressed that whatever transfer orders are issued is final and no further transfers will be issued and all have to wait for next year and all these requests will be given consideration in April 2026. He again stressed that transfer posting should be completed in Month of April and May every year by single Transfer order and no business of transfers will be continued throughout years.

We tried to convince CMD BSNL on how request transfers are being taken care of only through a six monthly OTP windows and it is not a regular or daily transfer order matter as per feedback with him. We also narrated how Six Monthly OTP Requests is well accepted by the Associations and also by all the Executives and by Management also, but since last one year initially it was kept on hold and now given consideration in pick and choose manner.

But instead of understanding facts, he reacted that he is aware how the worst transfer postings were done and how transfers of 2022, 2023 and 2024 were not implemented till 2025. We have responded that all the retentions were done as per the administrative requirement and other retentions are given as per genuine grounds which are well defined in transfer policy. But CMD BSNL continued with his stand and stressed on his stand of annual transfers and next Transfers will be issued only in April 2026.

We have reminded CMD BSNL that he has assured in similar manner while keeping on hold already issued OTP Request Transfers in December 2024, but he has not kept word. We asked when the words from the highest authority of BSNL are not respected, how can we believe that words/ assurances this time also will be adhered to. We asked when the already given words are not followed, how can we believe in similar words again this year and we cannot fool executives by such repeated false assurances. We also narrated that we will also have no issue of annual transfer orders if all such requests are given consideration in uniform manner.

CMD BSNL categorically told that it is not possible to consider all requests and the association should not expect for consideration of all OTP requests at any time.

We narrated that we never expected consideration of 100% OTP Requests in the past and not expecting the same now also. But there was uniformity and transparency in earlier transfers which is totally missing this time. We added that we have categorically brought all such issues to the notice of PGM Pers and Director HR with examples thereof and we have not received any clarifications/justification on such biased and pick and choose consideration of OTP Requests.

We added that we are getting assurances that all such issues will be sorted out but nothing is happening for the last four months except consideration of order 30/06/2025 that to be personally considered by you. We also narrated that there are many cases having similar background as that given consideration in orders dated 02/05/2025 and 30/06/2025, but these requests are not given consideration.

We narrated that if management is able to convince us the basis and idea behind such pick and choose approach giving priority to some cases without completion of two years and non-consideration of some OTP requests to same Circles from other executives who are waiting for their own cost transfers on completion of three years, we will surely convince these executives to wait till April 2026, otherwise Management has to consider pending OTP Requests without further delay and give equal justice to all.

On this CMD BSNL asked Director HR about the factual position but as usual he just assured to look into all such issues and confirm it after discussions with PGM Pers.

We updated CMD BSNL that there is a feeling of cheating among BSNL Executives by the BSNL Management as it was assured for us for April 2025 as HR Month, but no single HR issue was settled in this so called HR Month.

We made it clear, if orders are being issued in such a pick and choose manner, how can we get convinced that transfer orders are issued in transparent manner and how can we convince executives to believe on concept of annual transfer may be confirmed to us so that we will also try to convince affected executives and if we are convinced with say of the Management then we will definitely appeal them also to believe on such concept of Single Annual Transfer Order.

After elaborate discussions, CMD BSNL informed that Director HR has taken the decision for issuing Annual Transfers and as CMD, he is supporting his stand and issues if any may be discussed with him. We responded that we are also informing the same that stand taken by Director HR for only annual transfers is not correct, non-sustainable and impracticable and added that we are requesting him as CMD BSNL for corrective action for consideration of pending OTP Requests of all Executives in Uniform manner, thereby giving justice to remaining Executives who are waiting for similar justice.

We submitted a brief note on our stand on consideration of OTP Requests and CMD BSNL handed over the same to Director HR for further course of action on it. Copy<<<>>

We also submitted the details of issues which are decided at below level and pending for consideration at level of CMD BSNL. Copy<<<>>

CMD BSNL asked Director HR about it and he submitted that all these details were submitted to CMD BSNL in the last fortnight and if required the same will be again submitted a fresh.

After an elaborate submission by SNEA, CMD BSNL finally directed Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director HR to look into all the issues submitted by us and brief him in the next week and see that a conclusive decision is taken on these issues.

In conclusion, we conveyed thanks to CMD BSNL and Director HR for sparing time for discussions on these burning issues and assurances for settlement of these issues.

We will continue to pursue all these issues including pending OTP Request Transfers and we are confident that we will get some positive results in the coming days.

Meanwhile, we have to give concern about non-factual feedback with CMD BSNL that all executives are not working and hence BSNL is not in profit and there is a need for more and more output as desired by him. Though we do not agree with the general statement that executives are not working, as we know that the majority of executives are giving their best by having double or more workload than justified and they are giving best in the odd circumstances. We appeal to others to join hands in this mission with full energy and see that doubts on the working of executives are cleared to better extent.

It is fact that till somebody is not able to give his/her best as expected by CMD BSNL and we appeal all executives to review why he/she is not able to give best and the reasons or difficulties faced by them if any in giving such results as desired by CMD BSNL may be shared with controlling officers and details may be shared with Shri Suresh Kumar, AGS Tech SNEA CHQ {Mob 09447004747} by email on sureshagssnea@gmail.com

We will bring all such consolidated facts and difficulties to notice of CMD BSNL for factual feedback and corrective action required by BSNL management and also bring it to the notice of CMD BSNL factual position that Executives are giving best, but there is need of minimum required support and motivation for more and more output in the present working conditions.

Meeting of General Secretaries of All Unions and Associations of BSNL with Director HR: On 29/07/2025 at 1830 Hrs General Secretaries of all Associations and Unions had a meeting with Shri. Papa Sudhakar Rao, Director EB,  who is holding charge of Director HR during Leave period of Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani,  Director HR in presence of Shri Rajeev Kumar Kaushik, PGM Pers, BSNL CO.

This meeting was attended by Shri. Animesh Mitra, GS BSNLEU, Shri. C. Singh, GS NFTE, Shri. M. S. Adasul, GS SNEA, Shri Ravi Shil Verma, GS AIGETOA, Shri. N. D. Ram, GS SEWA and Shri Rajpal Sharma, President AIBSNLEA.  

The meeting focused on issues created by Shri. S. Parthiban CGM TN /CHTD Circle by not granting meetings to CS of all Associations and Unions in both the Circle and vindictive actions even after clear instructions by CMD BSNL for not going ahead with any action disturbing industrial peace in both the Circle.

Director HR went through the representation given by General Secretaries of all Unions and Associations  Copy<<<>>

After going through it, Director HR was surprised to know that Shri. S.  Parthiban, CGM has not given a single formal or informal  meeting to any Union or Association and this is a main reason for ongoing dispute.

He categorically asked reasons for unrest and we have elaborated that non-grant of formal/informal meeting, not granting meeting even after repeated visits and making to wait in his office, deliberately neglecting CS of all Unions and Associations on HR issues, vindictive approach,  wrong interpretation of REA rules, reversion of DGMs without understanding ground realities, pendency of HR issues,  poor working atmosphere in both Circles, delaying business proposal to generate more revenue to BSNL, non-sensitive approach towards dealing HR matters, notices issues to leaders on flimsy grounds,  etc.

We have narrated that Shri S Parthiban is so adamant that he does not grant meeting even to General Secretaries of Associations and Unions when they are visiting Chennai and calling for courtesy call and even he is not attending call while in office and PAs are repeatedly telling that he is busy  in the meetings.

This attitude of Shri. S. Parthiban, CGM of running away from responsibilities and hiding face from public responsibilities makes it clear that he does not want to continue in BSNL and he wants to go back to DoT before his retirement due in March 2026 and hence he is deliberately creating mass unrest so that he will get posted to DoT.

After  hearing us patiently, Director HR informed that he will speak with Shri. S. Partibhan CGM TN/CHTD and take an update and see how these issues are resolved.

We added that already PGM SR, Director HR Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani have spoken with him repeatedly and even though he has assured us to take corrective actions, nothing has been done by him.

We also added that all these issues were brought to notice of CMD BSNL, who was kind  enough to discuss with all CS and CGMT Shri. S. Parthiban during his last week tour to Chennai. CMD BSNL has categorically directed CGMT to discuss with leaders of Unions and  Associations and resolve the issues one by one and directed CSs not to go for any agitational call.

But Shri. S. Parthiban  CGMT does not even bother to follow the instructions of CMD BSNL and he has become more vindictive and is busy only in finding reasons and issuing chargesheet on flimsy grounds to show his powers and pressuring leaders for accepting vindictive actions.

We have demanded for shifting of Shri. S. Parthiban from the post of CGM CHTD and repatriate him to DoT and take corrective  action for improvement of worsening working atmosphere and financial conditions of BSNL TN and CHTD Circles and also to stop further harassment of executive and employees of TN and CHTD Circles.

Director HR expressed   serious concern about the situation and such adamant stand and poor response from Shri Parthiban and assured that detailed and point  wise explanation will be called from Shri. Parthiban CGMT on complaint submitted by General Secretaries of all Unions and Associations and assured to personally talk to him for needful action to settle mass unrest and restore industrial peace in both the Circles.

We have also narrated the fact about continuation of HR heads of CHTD, TN , Bihar,  Odisha  and many other Circles beyond the stipulated period of maximum four years causing such disputes and mass unrest and demanded for shifting all such GMs/PGMs heading HR/Admn units in Circles with priority to GM HR TN and PGM HR CHTD. Director HR firmly assured to look into it and directed PGM Pers to  take immediate action on it and follow the instructions of the Vigilance wing uniformly.

We also narrated issues about wage negotiations and the need for early signing of the Wage Negotiation agreement with Recognised Unions for implementation of third 3rd PRC. After patiently hearing our submission, he assured us to take the required and priority action on it.

When we raised concern about online attendance, he expressed that he had just seen the submission of Associations on this matter and shared that the same is being studied. He asked categorically why Unions and Associations are opposing this simple and routine issue.

We have narrated the difficulties faced by the executives and how Mobile App attendance with  face locking that to be with their own device has created mass unrest.

We also narrated that BSNL comes under emergency services and we have been always asked for on duty for 24x7 and if Management want us to attend fixed duty hours from 1000 hrs to 1800 hrs we are ready, but remove the condition of emergency services so that we will also be free from office responsibilities after office hours.

After elaborate submission, Director HR assured to look into submission by Associations and firmly assured that there will be no compulsion for executives and employees for putting attendance from Mobile and required arrangements will be done in office premises. He also underlined the demand by us to exclude the personnel in field units from such attendance and allowing flexibility thereof and assured that the same will be taken care of. He assured to discuss the issues further with Unions and Associations and then take required steps as per understanding thereof. He firmly assured that this is just an attempt to incorporate discipline for some individuals, who are not punctual and sincere and punctual  workforce will be given the  required flexibility but there should not be reluctance on part of such discipline in administrative offices. We responded that detailed discussions should be held on it and our suggestions should be given due consideration and Director HR assured for the same.

The healthy and fruitful discussions were held for about half an hour and concluded with a very positive response from Director HR and Thanks from all General Secretaries. 

DGM Pers BSNL CO issued extension of timeline for submission of self-appraisal up to 05/08/2025, reporting period and reviewing period up to 08/08/2025 and 11/08/2025 in Processing of e-APARs  of FY 2024-25 through ESS-Portal. Copy<<<>>

The last time date of extended for reporting and review but was not extended for submission of self-appraisal. It is reported that till bout 150 executives have not initiated APAR of Year 2024-25 and though some have initiated it, the same is not submitted to controlling officer.

By receiving all such requests, SNEA CHQ has requested PGM Pers for extending this date and this may last extension of APAR of 2024-25 and Chances of further extension of date for initiation of APAR are less  rather it is Nil.

As such, all the executives who have not yet initiated or submitted APAR of 2024-25, are appealed to spare some time and initiate and submit  it within this extended date i.e. 05/08/2025.

Also the activity of Reporting and Reviewing APARs received by the controlling officers is to be completed respectively by 08/08/2025 and 11/08/2025 by keeping in mind that dates will not be further extended.

DGM SR BSNL CO circulated the list of the Office Bearers of SNEA CHQ body elected in the recent 32^nd All India Conference held on 21/05/2025 at Ravindra Bhavan, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh Circle. Copy<<<>>

Actually we have submitted the list for extending facilities available to CHQ OBs of Recognised Majority Association, but by following copy to copy practice, the list is just circulated by sticking to the old procedure of just circulation of list as followed in earlier cases. But this time copy also marked to PS to Director, which was not marked in earlier cases. SR section has to accept such changes for actual requirement as per the current circumstances & requirements thereof and we will definitely take up matter accordingly.   

SNEA CHQ writes to Director HR BSNL on issues created due to arbitrary changes made in procedure and practices for marking online attendance and request for immediate corrective action for settlement of mass unrest among executives..  Copy<<<>>

SNEA has been discussed all these issues with BSNL Management since date of issue of order for mandatory attendance  though face/device locked Mobile App and we are asked to submit the views in detail with assurance to give consideration to genuine issues.

We are hopeful for giving consideration to our submission and for review of these orders  mainly for withdrawal of compulsions for marking attendance through mobile app through own mobile that to be with face/device locking or for exemption from emergency service with 24X7 availability and allowing all BSNL executives only 1000 Hrs to 1730 Hrs administrative duty and no restrictions before and after these duty hours. We have demanded for further detailed discussion son it and sorting out issues for healthy working atmosphere in BSNL. Hope for the best.

BSNL Pune saves Rs 8.4 Crores per annum on Electricity Bills: Dedicated team of Electrical wing, Pune BA and MH Circle has taken special initiatives for saving huge money of BSNL on electricity Charges for Mahadji Shinde Telephone Exchange Building, Pune with conversation of Commercial to Industrial electricity tariff as same has been approved by MSEDCL w.e.f. 01/05/2025. Due to this Commercial billing tariffs, BSNL was paying extra Electricity charges of Rs 70 Lakhs per month and Rs 8.4 Crores per annum and this amount will be now reduced with use of electricity charges as per Industrial tariff.

This team of Electrical wing consisting of Shri. Virendra Satpute EEE Pune, Shri. Abhijeet Gujar, SDEE MHS Bldg, Shri Rahul Dhokate, JOTE MHS Bldg Pune, Shri. Sanjay Lingayat JTO JOTE MHS Bldg Pune, Shri Subash Desai, JTOE Mumbai and Mrs. Shilpa Bhatkar JTOE Mumbai in active support of Shri Bhushan Chikhlikar SEE Mumbai under valuable guidance of Shri Dhanajay Kumar Sr CEE Mumbai and Shri Bhatambare PGM Pune BA have devotedly pursued this issue with regular follow ups with officers of MSEDCL HQ Mumbai by submitting all required documents for conversion of Commercial Tariff to Industrial Tariff.

PHOTOs <<<>>

SNEA CHQ congratulates the team of Electrical wing Pune BA and MH Circle for such extraordinary efforts and appeals all the executives in BSNL to taken note of this and check the tariff applied for the Electricity connectivity for their Telephone Exchanges /Establishments and if it is Commercial, then it may be please get converted to Industrial tariff and save huge Money of BSNL being paid on under such avoidable head. If alone Mahadji Shinde Exchange Pune can save Rs 8.4 Crores of BSNL per annum, naturally number of hundreds of Crores of rupees will be saved all over India.

For approval of upgraded Standard pay scales we need about Rs 100 Crores and such efforts to save BSNL Money by such 10 to 12 Big Exchange Building can save Rs 100 Cores which is expenditure for approval of Upgraded Standard Pay Scales for affected executives in BSNL.

In similar manner, if we could save such unwanted expenditure for 100 big Exchange Buildings all over India, we will be in position to get our 3^rd PRC Implemented without any further hurdles. In lack of such strong initiatives well within time, huge hard earned money of BSNL is being wasted and hence it is need of time that we all executives have to be more alert and save every penny of BSNL being wasted in this way.

All such special efforts on part of each and every executives for saving BSNL Money will pave way for our 3^rd PRC in this year itself. For more information on steps, procedure and guidelines to be followed for conversion of Commercial Electricity Tariff, please contact Shri. Rahul Dhokate JTOE MHS Bldg Pune {Mob 9420495060} and/or Shri. Abhijeet Gujar, SDEE MHS Bldg {9423007700}.

While these executives are transferred out of ALTTC some more Executives are posted to ALTTC and all these orders are company cost wasting hard earned Money of BSNL.

SNEA has taken up this issue and requested CGM ALTTC and PGM Pers, Director HR for issuing the posting order of executives selected for RTTC Jaipur and retention of the Executives under transfer from ALTTC Ghaziabad and it is under consideration.

This is first order of modification of Transfer order issued by CGM ALTTC and we are hopeful with posting of selected executives, the transfer order of Executives from ALTTC Ghaziabad will be modified suitably or they will be given option before transfer out of ALTTC.

AGM Pers BSNL CO issued Transfer order of AGMs/ SDEs Telecom from different units and mainly posting them to ALTTC. Copy<<<>>

This is one more pick and choose Transfer order issued by Pers Cell BSNL CO without  any consideration to need of ALTTC and current happenings at ALTTC.

Many of these executives are not willing for working at ALTTC and some who are recently transferred at company cost as per ERP relieving of BSNL CO just before few weeks/months are again transferred at Company cost wasting BSNL Money.

Some of these executives have opted for own cost OTP transfers for their choice circle and waiting for its consideration but the same is not given consideration and now these Executives are transferred and posted to ALTTC at company cost.

This transfer order is issued  by violating well defined procedure for selection and posting of executives at BSNL Training Centres.   Copy<<<>>

As per these guidelines, ALTTC has already conducted Process for selection of SDEs and AGMs required at ALTTC Jaipur Copy<<<>>

But it is unfortunate that since last one year no posting order is issued by Pers section even after repeated requests by individuals, request and reminders by CGM ALTTC and its regular pursuation by SNEA.  

Most surprising and astonishing fact is that just before fortnight CGM ALTTC has issued transfer order of about all SDEs/AGMs working at ALTTC to Training Centres at other locations viz. BRBRAITT Jabalpur, RTCC Jaipur and RTCC Kalyani  stating that there are excess officers at ALTTC. Copy<<<>>

In last week three AGMs from ALTTC are transferred and posted to BSNL Corporate Office by the same Pers section again giving reason that there are excess officers in ALTTC. Copy<<<>>

Now the same Pers section is again posting one SDE and three AGMs to ALTTC Ghaziabad and that to be pic and choose manner by violating well defined guidelines issued by the same Pers section for posting of Executives.

Pers section seems to be working by keeping focus on direct  wastage of hard earned BSNL Money and as if wasting of BSNL Money by issuing more and more company cost orders is one of the target under IPMS for Pers section.  

When there is no money to even to replace old BSNL logo at Corporate office, Bharat Sanchar Bhawan New Delhi with new logo since last six months, which just costs few lakhs, here money is being wasted by Pers Section in crores of rupees by issuing pick and choose,  unwanted and avoidable transfers.    

We are finding the present situation at BSNL CO about transfer posting has Spiritual Significance of Andher Nagari Chaupat Raja, Take Ser Bhaji Take Ser Khaja meaning that a kingdom of ignorance with an insane king where everything like vegetables and sweets of one kilo are sold for one rupee.

All these are the deliberate attempts on diverting focus from the Mission BSNL First by CMD BSNL for revenue earning or generating more and more revenue for BSNL. But the Pers section is making all out efforts so that such hard earned money by CMD BSNL is immediately spent and wasted on such repeated company cost transfer and posting orders.

Let us all pray God for the minimum required HR and Finance wisdom to these officers dealing with transfer posting in such blind approach neglecting transfer policy guidelines issued by their own office and in such utter biased pick and choose manner thereby directly damaging interest of BSNL and spoiling the revenue generation and target oriented approach by CMD BSNL.
