Present Status and Required clarifications on One PSU One
Association Proposal: SNEA CHQ
has received many queries about status of One PSU One Association proposal
submitted by the three Major Associations viz.
SNEA, AIGETOA and AIBSNLEA and possibility of finalization and
acceptance by BSNL Management. .
Apart from this it is noticed that some
individuals and groups are spreading that as One PSU, One Association Proposal
is being finalized hence there is no need to opt for membership of any
association and existing members of the Associations are being pursued for quitting
or opting out the membership.
In this regard, it is to inform that the unanimous
proposal submitted by the three Major Associations viz. SNEA, AIGETOA and AIBSNLEA, which covers
99.5% of paid membership of the BSNL Executives has been agreed by the Committee Constituted for the same and was
processed for approval of BSNL Management, but the same is returned with query
to ascertain the functioning of Associations in the other PSUs and this work of confirmation of factual position from
other PSUs is under progress.
It is a fact that in all PSUs only one Association
is existing and there is no such process of Referendum of associations and
special opening of yearly window for Changeover Membership and it is a routine
process.
We are hopeful that after confirmation of
facts from Other PSUs, the proposal of
One PSU, One Association will be moving ahead further, and we will update its
progress accordingly.
But it is unfortunate that by quoting this
proposal under consideration some individuals and groups are approaching some existing members of associations during
this Membership Changeover window and misguiding that as Proposal of One PSU
One Association is at final stage, there is no need of continuing Membership of
any Association rather they are forcing to opt out/quit the membership of
existing Associations.
Here it is to inform that Associations have
proposed to defer the Membership changeover window for Executives, but as you
know the same was not responded
positively by the Management and Membership Change Over window is opened from
16/06/2025. It is seen that some forces
working against this strongest unity of Executives in BSNL are spreading
misleading information and misguiding executives to opt out membership of existing
Associations.
All executives in BSNL have to analyze that
whatever we have achieved till today is just because of the active role played
by leaders of all Associations at all levels and in absence of such active association/s
our life would have been miserable.
We have consolidated all the queries and
doubts raised by the executives and listed as FAQs on Proposal of One PSU One
Association. Copy<<<>>
We have also received many queries about the achievements
of SNEA as Majority Association and we have listed out certain issues we have successfully
pursued in the recent past and we have achieved some goals in favour of
Executives in the BSNL and also certain issues pursued step ahead towards its
consideration. Copy<<<>>
Hope all these details will clear doubts on
proposal of One PSU One Association and will also underline the need of joining
all Executives under the banner of SNEA or any association of his/her choice
for betterment of Executives in BSNL.
As of today, Associations are only supporting
hand for executives in BSNL and no one else is with us in these most difficult days
we are facing now and it is need of time that we all together strengthen the
Association/s of BSNL Executives.
We appeal to all the executives in BSNL not to
come under the trap laid by some forces
always working against Unity of BSNL Executives and be united by continuing
Membership with SNEA or any Association of your choice till the proposal of One
PSU One Association is finalized.
We specially appeal to about 5000
Executives who are not part of any Associations in BSNL, please join SNEA or
any other association of your choice and be part of Stronger Unity of BSNL
Executives which is
need of time for successful pursuing critical financial issues pending with DoT
viz. 3rd PRC and Upgraded Standard pay scales which are affecting
our day to day life.
With support of you all and with continuous persuasion
by Associations, many of the issues are now in pipelines and we are hopeful for
certain positive response and its consideration during this crucial year with
very strong and positive recommendations of the Parliamentary Committee and
with Net Profit in two consecutive Quarters of Financial Year 2024-25.
Apart from these crucial issues pending for
long time with DoT, some HR are issues pending with BSNL Management and please
note that all these issues can be resolved with Stronger Unity and we do not
have any option for it.
We are aware that many of the executives are
affected by consideration and non-consideration of their names in the recent
transfer order dated 02/05/2025 and no corrective action since the last two
months. We are continuously pursuing the issues related to transfer posting and
we are hopeful for corrective action from the BSNL Management.
At this crucial time, joining all
executives with Associations will definitely help in successful persuasion of these issues.
Hopefully proposal for One PSU One Association
will be given consideration positively but till time the existing structure of
Multiple Associations as per REA Rules will continue and it is need of time
that about all executives are part of SNEA or any other association of his/ her
choice for resolution of these issues in favour of BSNL executives and we are
hopeful for positive response to this appeal by all executives of BSNL.
Be United, Be safe and Hope for the best.

Meeting with CMD BSNL on issues related to Transfer
posting and consideration of OTP Requests: On Friday 13/06/2025, evening hours, GS SNEA
had a meeting with Shri. A. Robert J. Ravi, CMD BSNL specially for
pursuing for consideration of representations received against the Transfer
order dated 2 May 25 and for consideration of pending OTP Requests.
GS expressed concern about non-consideration
of even single requests received for changes modifications and also non-consideration
of any OTP request including that from All India Hard Tenure Stations and
requested for early consideration of it.
GS also shared that though it has been
repeatedly agreed by the management for consideration of all pending OTP
Requests, no single request has been given consideration in the last 40 days. Even
the assurance for consideration of pending OTP Requests from All India Hard Tenure
stations by the last working day of the week is also not adhered to.
GS also shared that in the first time in the
history of BSNL even requests on genuine medical grounds duly recommended by Circle
Heads with due entry in ESS Portal are not given consideration which has
created overall negativity among the executives in BSNL.
GS drawn kind attention of CMD BSNL towards
fact that in Dec 2024, all the OTP requests were given consideration and order
also was shown to us, but it was his intervention on name of Target period that
the finalised OTP Transfer Orders were kept on hold with directions to
implement it in April 2025.But by keeping aside these orders, now fresh order
is issued wherein many names in earlier order are missing.
GS narrated CMD BSNL that the day to day persuasion
by SNEA including many requests to him as Head of BSNL, we have always received
very positive response from his side including directions to PGM Pers and
Director HR for consideration of genuine Requests, but final outcome is still
not seen.
GS categorically shared the mass unrest among
the affected executives which is directly affecting the morale of the
executives waiting for consideration of their requests and requested CMD BSNL
to give relief to all these executives waiting for their pending OTP Transfers
and for desired changes in the transfer order issued as represented on genuine
grounds.
CMD BSNL responded that he is busy with so much
other work and he has already issued instructions to PGM Pers for consideration
of genuine requests and PGM Pers is working on it.
GS updated that though he has repeatedly
instructed PGM Pers, no action has been taken by PGM Pers. CMD BSNL expressed that
it should not be like that and PGM Pers has informed him that he is working on
consideration of certain requests and orders will be issued shortly.
GS categorically explained that since the issue
of transfer orders we have many meetings with PGM Pers and Director HR and also,
we have submitted all details in writing and repeatedly pursued but nothing is
given consideration and hence there is need of intervention from the high
office of CMD BSNL.
CMD BSNL was of the opinion that all these
transfers are well within the powers of Director HR and as CMD BSNL, he has no
role in it and again directed us to take up matter with Director HR.
GS narrated that we have discussed with
Director HR just before coming to his office and nothing was seen as an outcome
and he was just assuring that issues are being given consideration by PGM Pers.
GS submitted that SNEA is not requesting for
anything special or out of rules but we are requesting for review of the issued
transfer order and consideration of pending OTP transfer orders as per
guidelines issued by BSNL and its uniform applicability for all executives.
GS made it clear that if this simple request
submitted by us is given consideration by BSNL Management with priority to Own
Cost OTP requests to fill up vacant posts as desired by him then all issues and
hardship faced by the affected executives will be resolved & cleared.
GS also narrated the guidelines issued by BSNL
CO for consideration of OTP Requests and stopping unwilling transfers from All
India Hard Tenure stations and requested for giving due consideration to it and
on this also CMD BSNL directed us to discuss with PGM Pers and assured that he
will instruct him to give consideration resecting services rendered at All
India Soft Tenure stations, to all such requests by SNEA respecting policy guidelines.
GS submitted that SNEA has given detailed
proposal for review of the Transfer order, issuing pending OTP requests,
cancellation /issuing transfer orders as per requests by individual on
principals of Transfer policy i.e. respecting age criteria as prescribed in
Transfer policy, correction of stay/ break in length of Stay in the Circle by tenure
stations, due consideration of representations etc.
It was also submitted that many of SDEs
promoted as AGM under LICE quota have submitted refusal of promotions as their
request for modification is not given consideration due to unavoidable issues
and genuine reasons, but many of them are till ready to join at transferred
place if their refusal is rejected and the posted Circle is modified to nearby deficit
Circles as requested by them.
CMD BSNL gave patience hearing to our say and
responded that as directed by him, PGM Pers is taking care of all such issues
and directed GS to have some more patience and assured for consideration of
some of the representations/requests in the coming week.
GS requested
not to stretch this issue further as it is already at the last point of patience
of affected executives and give consideration to the proposal submitted by SNEA
which is well within the policy guidelines which will safeguard the interest of
BSNL management as well give relief to the affected executives.
CMD BSNL assured to give consideration to some
requests starting from the coming week and GS conveyed thanks for the same. We
are hopeful for consideration of some of the genuine requests this week. Let us
hope for the best.

CMD BSNL

of BSNL and specially mentioned that without their efforts it was not possible.
He conveyed leaders to pass on this appreciation to each and every executive &
employee of BSNL. Adding further, he urged all Executives & Employees to

upward trend. Press Release <<<>>>
Adding
further, CMD BSNL emphasized that every employee must treat network infrastructure
i.e. BTS, Power Plants, Telecom equipment as their own asset and give their
best for coming years so that BSNL achieves the Profit Target of Year 2025-26.
We
congratulated CMD BSNL and his team of BSNL management for this milestone
achievement and assured to convey his message to all Executives and Employees
of BSNL.
While
discussions on feedback, for maintenance of high uptime of BSNL BTS and OLTs, association
leaders raised the issue of inadequate transport facilities for field units and
shared difficulties faced by the executives in field units due to curtailment
of vehicles by BSNL Corporate office. CMD BSNL took note of it and assured us to
look into such critical issues. He narrated that it cannot be implemented
uniformly for all but the issues can be studied with pilot project as case
study. He instructed Director HR to assess ground realities and initiate a
pilot project in one Circle to provide better transport support for BTS/tower/OLTE
etc maintenance and assured to take review as per the outcome of this pilot
study and feedback thereof.
Associations
also highlighted that as of today the executives working at forefront are
demotivated as they remain the lowest paid in the telecom industry due to non-granting
E2/E3 Standard Pay Scales and also non-grant of 3rd PRC. It was also
narrated that the simple issue of enhancement of SAB contribution which has
been agreed time to time is not resolved. Govt & BSNL has till now invested
much in infrastructure and nothing has been invested on manpower in the last
10-15 years. Non-Resolution of multiple financial issues has adversely affected
financial condition of the executives and if some of these issues with priority
to Standard pay scales are resolved, the executives will be motivated to deliver
their best to meet the Target of Profit making BSNL. CMD BSNL acknowledged the
concern and instructed Director HR to look into this issue and directed us to
submit a brief note on this subject.
On
implementation of PRC, CMD BSNL informed that if BSNL continues to perform and
generate profit, PRC will come automatically.
We also
narrated about the promotions wherein no expenditure is required from BSNL and
only required is overcoming issues trapped in court cases. We proposed that the
issues can be resolved if all eligible executives can be promoted in one order
by reviewing MSRR 2023 for LICE quota and restructuring review of posts. CMD
BSNL reproduced that Legal hurdles must be minimized and promotions must be
issued. The issues related to DGM T Adhoc, AGM T SCF Quota, JTO to SDE in Civil
& Electrical wing were discussed in detail and it was assured to resolve
the hurdles and issue the promotions at the earliest. He was of the opinion
that legal cases should be withdrawn but directed that Promotions of executives
who are not coming under any legal issues can be given consideration and
instructed Director HR to come up with the proposal for such promotions. He
assured further steps in phase manner for remaining promotions but the process
must start.
We also
stressed the need for review of Transfer posting order dated 02 May 2025
including AGM LICE promotions, and CMD BSNL informed that all the
representations received are being reviewed by Director HR and PGM Pers and
directed them to expedite it for consideration of genuine cases. We also
narrated the issues related to violation of Transfer policy guidelines and pick
and choose approach etc and CMD BSNL instructed Director HR to look into the
issues.
In
conclusion of the meeting CMD BSNL once again congratulated all Executives and
Employees for Profit in the second consecutive Quarter and appealed to put all
out efforts for the yearly profit during 2025-26. He also assured for
resolution of all possible issues and directed Director HR and PGM Pers to look
into issues with consideration of priority to issues with no or minimum
financial implications. We also conveyed thanks for sharing information.
