Majority Associations/Unions
of BSNL together Welcomes New CMD BSNL and demand for Singe Demand of Third PRC/ Wage
revision Implementation: The
meeting of leaders of the Major Associations and Unions in BSNL was held on
23/07/2024 wherein discussions were held on the burning issues of the
executives and Non-Executives of BSNL. This meeting was attended by the leaders
of SNEA, AIGETOA, BSNLEU, NFTE BSNL, SEWA
BSNL, AIBSNLEA and BTTU.
All
together have analyzed the situation and decided to go ahead with a single
demand of implementation of 3rd PRC/Wage to overcome the suffering
of the entire workforce of BSNL.
It was
also decided to have a welcome meeting with new CMD BSNL to give him a warm
welcome, to extend support from all Associations and Unions and raise a single
demand of implementation of 3rd PRC/Wage revision for minimum level
of motivation of the BSNL workforce.
Accordingly,
on 24/07/2024, the leaders of these Associations and Unions had a meeting with the
new CMD BSNL Shri. Ravi A. Robert Jerad, wherein all together gave a
warm welcome with a beautiful Bouquet and a special book. We conveyed our total support to CMD BSNL for
his assignment as CMD BSNL.
In
reciprocation, CMD BSNL conveyed thanks for such warm welcome from different Associations
and Unions together. He expressed his commitment to lead BSNL towards growth
and success in a time bound manner. He appealed to all leaders to
convey the message to entire workforce of BSNL that we all together have to achieve
the Target of 25% Market Share Target by 2025. He shared
that it is somewhat difficult but not impossible if we all put our energy
together by all possible means. He added that the issues in 4G Services of BSNL
are being sorted out and BSNL will surely be ready with 4G services within few
months. He shared that we are working on 5G network also and very shortly BSNL
will be providing 5G services. He added that due enhancement of tariffs by
other operators, there is huge demand for BSNL SIM Cards and we have to
reciprocate it by adding all the customers in the BSNL family.
CMD BSNL
specially emphasized that BSNL is starting services in the MTNL area in Delhi
and Mumbai also as there is huge potential. He added that serving these two
cities is as good as giving services in 60-70 big cities. These services with
4G Equipments will give big strength to BSNL and generate the highest revenue
across the India
Leaders of
Unions and Associations in one voice requested
CMD to take initiative to finalize the third PRC/ Wage Revision in BSNL.
In response he added that he is aware of this issue and he had some
discussions on this issue yesterday also. He asked some time from the leaders
for further discussions. He was optimistic that with the great public response,
support by Government of India and support of all executives and non-executives,
BSNL will definitely achieve the goal of 25% Market share. We have to show some
progress in this direction and the revenue curve of BSNL should start raising
upwards with our united efforts. He firmly assured that this is a genuine issue
and will be surely given consideration. He assured to have separate discussions
on this issue with associations, but was firm on certain positive performance
by BSNL before taking up this issue with the Government of India.
The
leaders agreed to his concern and assured that whatever support required by
BSNL management will be provided together by Associations/Unions. We further expressed
that entire workforce is hopeful for certain positive steps from BSNL
Management for giving confidence to the workforce of BSNL. CMD BSNL assured
that all HR issues along with demand of Pay /Wage revision will be given
consideration and appealed to keep focus on achieving the target of 25% Market
share of BSNL by 2025.
We stated
that the issues at DoT can be taken in the coming days but it is pathetic that
Wage negotiation process had not been completed for the last seven years and we
are compelled to work at salaries of Year 2007. We requested for his intervention
so that the process of wage negotiation is started and then whatever decision
is taken by DoT for Pay revision may be applied in wage revision. CMD BSNL gave
patience hearing to it and after understanding the issues assured that if it is
within BSNL it will be given consideration of priority.
CMD BSNL firmly
told that BSNL will provide seamless 4G & 5G services all over India
including MTNL area New Delhi and Mumbai within a short span and the workforce
of MTNL also will be involved in this process. They will
not be merged into BSNL but will work for BSNL services in the MTNL area and
continue services till further decision.
In
conclusion, CMD BSNL appealed to all staff to make concerted efforts for
providing seamless service to BSNL customers. All leaders thanked CMD BSNL for the
positive gesture and assured to provide full support. He expressed hope that
with slight change in BSNL Revenue graph, management is open to settling the
3rd PRC as well as all the major issues related to Pay, Promotions and Pension
of Employees.
The response
from new CMD BSNL Shri. Ravi A. Robert Jerad, on single demand of
implementation of 3rd PRC/Wage revision was very positive and
affirmative and we are hopeful that with his such positive leadership, BSNL
will flourish and reach new heights and the due benefits of employees and
executives will be passed on to them. This Meeting was held in a very
enthusiastic and healthy atmosphere its good start for moving ahead on both the
sides.

SNEA CHQ writes to Director HR BSNL Board for restoration of Second Saturday Off for different
Officers in the field units and administrative offices. Copy<<<>>>
This has
been burning issue after implementation of online attendance system as some of
the executives who were earlier eligible for Second Saturday off, are now denied
it and their duty hours are also not
reduced to suitable extent and they are compelled to perform extra duties for
no mistake on their part.
SNEA
Requests to Director HR BSNL Board to look into this serious issue demotivating
majority of the executives in BSNL and
restore the Second Saturday Off and give relief to these affected
executives. As an alternative solutions in case, there is any issue in granting
Second Saturday Off, we have requested to introduce One day C-Off for all such
executives and Staff and such C-Off may be allowed to be avail in same Month or
proceeding month/s on request of the individual.
After
submission of this letter , we have discussed this issue with PGM Admin BSNL CO
New Delhi and after understanding the concern raised by us, he assured to take
up matter with Kerala Technical team dealing with the Online attendance system
for immediate corrective action.
SNEA CHQ writes to Director HR BSNL Board for consideration to the OTP Requests of all Executives who have completed two
years as well as who will be completing two years and for consideration of the OTP requests of the executives even
if they have not completed two years of service in the present working Circle but have crossed the age limit of 57 years as
per transfer policy. Copy<<<>>
Since the first time long stay transfers issued in 2022, now the
first group of SDEs/AGMs who have joined transferred place of posting have
completed and are completing two years minimum service for consideration of Own
Cost Transfers. Same has been given consideration by some Non-Recruiting units
like ITPC, BBNW, CNTX and even SEA
section of BSNL CO. Even Pers section BSNL CO also has given consideration of
few requests on completion of two years service at transferred place, but same
is not applied in all the cases wherein SDEs/AGMs who have applied for OTP
Request transfers on completion of Two years and attaining age of 57 years and there
is mass unrest among the executives who obediently followed long stay orders
and joined at place of posting and now not given consideration for posting to
choice/Home/Parent Circle.
The OTP request of all such executives applied in window of January
2024 have been rejected by the Pers section BSNL CO and hence it is required
that all such willing executives have to submit fresh OTP Requests in the ESS
window which is open till 31/07/2024.
SNEA has taken up this issue with BSNL Management and we are pursuing
for consideration of all OTP Request transfers to choice/Home/Parent Circle.
AGM Pers BSNL CO issued order for cancellation/modifications in Tenure
Transfers of AGMs Telecom wherein request for cancellation of considered
OTP request of two AGMs is given consideration and request of four ACGMs for
change of posted Circles is given consideration. Copy<<<>>
All these genuine requests were pursued by SNEA as per feedback from CS/DS and SNEA conveys sincere thanks to Director HR, PGM Pers and his team for sympathetic consideration of these genuine requests.
DGM Admin BSNL CO writes to all Circle Heads regarding discontinuation
of Voluntary Group Health Insurance Policy for BSNL employees. Copy<<<>>
This policy was published by officers in Admn section BSNL against
strong oppose by the recognized Associations and Unions due to high Premium and
added stringent conditions than that of last year policy.
There was poor response from the executives and non-executives in BSNL
due to high rates and stringent conditions and only 1550 employees have opted
for it.
But the Oriental insurance company has refused to accept this policy as
total number of members in this policy are less than 5000. It is important that
this condition was not in the last year policy and this was added in this year
and rates were also enhanced.
Except officers in Admn section, nobody was supporting stand of M/S
Oriental insurance Company and due to such one sided attempt to force employers
to pay at higher rates and accept the stringent conditions, these GHI Policy
which was promoted by officers in Admn Section BSNL has been stopped by M/S
oriental insurance Company.
This is wastage of three months exercise to bring a good and strong
policy for BSNL employees.
By understanding all these actions and what will be final outcome of the
biased attempts to go ahead with such one sided policy against oppose by
Recognized Association/Unions, the alternate GHI Policy proposal is made
available with efforts of leaders and activist of SNEA, AIGETOA, BSNLEU and
NFTE BSNL, has been made available and willing executives and Non-executives
may go through this alternate option available and if think fit may opt for
same.
We will continue our efforts for strengthen BSNL MRS Policy and all
CS/DS are requested to check for availability of one cashless hospital in each BA
as per instructions issued by Director HR BSNL Board.

SNEA welcomes Shri. Ravi A. Robert Jerad, New CMD BSNL: The delegation of SNEA, led by Shri. Vimal Raghunath, AGS SNEA CHQ consisting Shri. R. K. Gupta, GS DEWAB, Mrs. Anu Agarwal, CP SNEA BSNL CO, Shri. Arvind Pal Dahiya, CS SNEA BSNL CO, Shri. M. Sasidhar, OS SNEA BSNL CO and Shri. M. S. Adasul, GS SNEA CHQ gave a warm welcome to Shri. Ravi A. Robert Jerad, New CMD BSNL in his chamber on Tuesday, 16/07/2024. We congratulated him on taking over charge of CMD BSNL and conveyed him best wishes for his grand success in this new assignment.
GS SNEA gave introduction of delegation and CMD BSNL was keen to
know about the roles played by these executives in Office as well as
association activities.
While accepting our wishes and greeting, Shri. Ravi A. Robert Jerad,
New CMD BSNL reciprocated very
positively stating that we all together have to put our best efforts for
overall growth of BSNL. He directed the delegation to give a message to the
members and executives in BSNL that we all have to work together on mission
mode to increase the market share of the BSNL. He added that Secretary DoT has set Target of 25% Market Share of BSNL by 2025 and appealed to all to contribute by all possible means. He added
that customer faith in BSNL is increasing and we have to respond to it very
positively.
We assured CMD BSNL total co-operation from SNEA, the only Recognised
Majority Association with highest membership among all Unions/Associations in
BSNL and requested him for kind intervention on some important issues and
resolution of certain issues for minimum level of motivation of Executives. We
added that BSNL executives are working on pay scales of 2007 and majority of
Executives working in BSNL have not seen even their first PRC and also facing
heavy monthly losses due to non-grant of
upgraded Standard Pay scales for JTOs who joined BSNL from 01/01/2007. Due to
the non-settlement of these critical issues for years together, the serving workforce
of BSNL feels demoralised and demotivated.
We brought to notice of CMD BSNL that even simple issue of revision of TA DA Rates for AGM and below
level officers is not given consideration since 2003 but same has been upgraded
for DGM and above level officers in 2017 and there is long list of all such
issues which needs his intervention for giving confidence to the workforce of
BSNL.
Shri. Ravi A. Robert Jerad, New CMD
BSNL responded that now we should focus
on the mission of 25% Market share of BSNL by 2025 and be firmly assured that
all such issues will be resolved one by one.
He also added that he will conduct a meeting with SNEA shortly and
will discuss the issues in detail.
We have brought to the notice of new CMD BSNL, the hardship faced
by the executives and non-executives who are facing a large number of customers
visiting BSNL Offices for New SIM Cards. We added that the Sanchar Adhar App is
not taking load and it takes hours together for activation of a SIM cards and this
is the reason for customer annoyance at entry level.
CMD BSNL was unaware about the issues and immediately took note of it and directed GM Co-ordination
to look into this issue and see that the issue is resolved by today itself. He
informed us to share all such updates and urgent issues to Director CM or him and assured us to take care of all
such issues as early as possible.
In conclusion, we requested CMD BSNL for giving confidence to the
executives with resolution of certain issues of Executives and even extension
of laptop policy to executives in field units and enhancement of TA DA Rates
for office works will also give feeling to the executives that BSNL Management
headed by New CMD BSNL is also have concern about the executives in BSNL and
will start effective contribution to mission 25% Market Share by 2025. CMD BSNL
responded that he will have separate meeting with SNEA to discuss all these
issues and advised us to achieve target of 25% Market share and get
ready for settlement of all demands of executives. We conveyed thanks for such
firm assurances and assured for total support from all the executives in BSNL.
AGM SEA BSNL CO writes
to Circle Heads for opening of Online Transfer Portal window from 16/07/2024 to
31/07/2024 for submission of online request for Inter Circle Transfer. Copy<<<>>
Now, for connivence of
the executives and mainly to avoid receipt of OTP request for Circles having surplus AOs, the Circles wise status of
the AOs is published and Circles are declared as Deficit Circles, Surplus
Circles and just Sufficient Circles.
Though SEA section has
mentioned that executives need to submit three choices of Three circles and preferably
for deficit Circles so as to give consideration to their requests for inter circle
transfer, it may be noted that executives should have critically analyse and
opt only to Circle/Circles, where he /she can join if her OTP Request is given
consideration. Otherwise, there is no need of giving three options and it may
be one or two or three Circle Choices as the case may and be ready for
transfers at such places.
AGM SEA BSNL CO issued
orders for cancellation of two AOs from WB Circle to Chhattisgarh Circle as per
their requests and now Inter-Circle
Transfer of other two longest stayed AOs from WB Circle is issued in place of
cancelled transfer orders. Copy<<<>>
Efforts by SNEA,
AIGETOA, BSNLEU and NFTE BSNL for better Group Health Insurance (GHI) policy: To protect interest of the Executives and Non-Executives
working in the BSNL against
the biased action of PGM Admin BSNL CO and his team of officers to favour M/S
Oriental Insurance Company to approve GHI policy with higher rates and
stringent conditions even after decision to not go ahead in official
negotiation meeting, the leaders of the recognized Unions/Associations i.e.
SNEA, AIGETOA, BSNLEU and NFTE BSNL, who were part of official
negotiations, have ascertained better
option of GHI Policy for all Executives and Non-Executives in BSNL.
Accordingly, with
efforts of leaders and activists of SNEA, AIGETOA, BSNLEU and NFTE BSNL we have
explored the possibility of getting GHI policy in cheaper rates and without any
stringent conditions and have come up with GHI Policy from M/S National
Insurance Company, which is also PSU.
The
Silent Features of this GHI Policy:
· Sum Assured: Rs Five Lakhs per family on a floater basis
· Room Rent: Normal Room at 1% of SI, ICU at 2% of SI.
· Pre and Post Hospitalisation Expenses: Covered for 30/60 days respectively.
· Ambulance Charges: Rs 1000/- per hospitalisation.
· New Born Baby Day One Cover: Not covered.
· Cataract:
Limited to Rs 26,000/- per eye.
· Maternity & Related Treatments: Not covered.
· Addition of Members: Permitted under specific conditions such as newly joined employees, new
children, or newly married spouses. Mid-term addition of Parents/Parents-In-Law
is not allowed.
· Package Rates: Follow GIPSA PPN guidelines.
· Other Terms: Governed by the standard Group Medical Insurance Policy of Insurance
company.
Comparison of NIC and OIC Group Health Insurance Policies:
· Premium Comparison: Firstly,
it is notable that the premium rates for NIC GHI Policy are significantly lower
compared to OIC GHI across all age bands and member categories. This presents a
substantial financial benefit to our members while ensuring comprehensive
health coverage. Copy<<<>>
· Minimum Membership to Start Policy: No such condition exists in NIC GHI P, whereas
Oriental Policy has condition of Minimum 5000 Members.
· Family Structure Flexibility: One of the major advantages of NIC GHI is its
flexibility in defining the family structure eligible for coverage. Unlike OIC GHI,
which adheres to a rigid departmental fixed family structure, NIC GHI allows
employees to choose their family members for coverage according to individual
requirements. This includes provisions for single employees, those without
spouses or children, and other unique family configurations that may not be
accommodated under OIC GHI. Thus NIC GHI Policy will be available for single
applicants also and for family of maximum six members i.e. Self, Spouse, Two Children, Maximum two
Parents/Parents-In-Law to be selected by applicants. While in OIC GHI policy
there are compulsions for paying for group of family and it is not possible to
opt for single person or selective
members of family.
· Restrictions
on New Entries: NIC GHI also excels in
terms of accessibility, with no restrictions for new entries. In contrast, OIC
GHI imposes several restrictions and criteria for new Optees and mainly parents,
which could limit access to health insurance for eligible employees and their
families.
· Calculation of age for premium: Premium
calculations will consider only the age of applicant employee and the Premiums
for dependents will be based on the employee's age, regardless of the
dependents' ages. The younger ones will be benefitted with lower premium even
after higher age of dependents.
Thus, it is crystal
clear that NIC GHI Policy explored by all Recognized Associations/Unions i.e.
SNEA, AIGETOA, BSNLEU and NFTE BSNL offers a superior alternative to OIC GHI Policy
with its lower premiums, flexible family structure options, fewer restrictions
on new entries, and comprehensive coverage benefits and so on.
We
appeal all Executives and Non-Executives to go through this comparison of NIC
and OIC GHI Policies and have critical analysis of the policies and family
requirement and take decision on opting
better GHI Policy and not get exploited
on name of getting benefits of GHI Policy.
· How to apply for NIC GHI Policy: The
willing Executives/Non Executives may please visit the Website http://aubsnlghi.co.in <<<>> for
detailed information on premiums, which are quoted per person and include GST
charges.

AGM Pers BSNL CO
writes to all Circle Heads regarding Opening of window for Online Transfer
Portal (OTP) w.e.f. 16/07/2024. Copy<<<>>
The window for online
submission of transfer application for Inter Circle Transfer for 2nd six months
of the year is going to be opened w.e.f. 16/07/2024 to 31/07/2024.
Though window was
supposed to be open on 16/07/2024, it was not opened on this day as earlier
certain OTP were undecided and SNEA CHQ also has certain issues related to
consideration of OTP Requests and requested for publishing vacancy position
before opening window and also for assigning the Circle wise waiting list for
each registered application for consideration of OTP Request in transparent
manner. Copy<<<>>
Our request for
declaring vacancy position before opening of window is given consideration. Though AGM Pers has not declared Circle wise working strength of SDEs/AGMs in
Telecom wing but broadly the circles are categorized as Surplus, Deficit, Just
Sufficient categories for the purpose of
inter- circle transfer giving idea about vacancies. Copy<<<>>
But our request for
assigning the waiting list to avoid repeated submission and consideration of
OTP application, it not given consideration at this stage and it was reported
that allotting Circle wise waiting list number,
there needs more technical upgradation in ESS and it will surely take
time and hence it is not possible for incorporating Circle wise waiting list in
this ongoing window but we are assured that same will be implemented in
forthcoming window.
As of now, Pers
section has followed that the OTP request will be considered to deficit and
just sufficient vacancies and OTP requests to Circles having excess
strength are not given consideration.
The executives are
requested to submit their choices of circles for inter circle transfers through
OTP window after critical analysis of vacancies and his/her family requirement
and be ready for transfer to any of the Circle Opted regardless of preference
submitted.
It will be better if
options are submitted limiting to the Circles where he/she can join place of
posting, if transfer order is issued.
The process of window
will be completed and transfer orders will be issued by Sept-Oct 2024 and
accordingly one has to apply if he/she is ready to join at transferred place.
The executives whose
earlier OTP requests are rejected, and till willing for transfer to choice
Circle, he/she may apply fresh in this window and while considering their
request due weightage will be given while consideration of OTP Requests applied
fresh.
The executives who are
willing to get transfer through ESS portal are requested to take due care and
submit the OTP requests after critical analysis and be ready for joining choice
circle as per his /her family requirement and avoid complications once Transfer
order is issued.

Forceful and High
Premium Rate GHI Policy with stringent Conditions approved by Admin Section,
BSNL CO: DGM Admin BSNL CO writes to all Circle Heads regarding
Implementation of Voluntary New Group Health Insurance Policy for BSNL
employees w.e.f. 25/07/2024 with M/s The Oriental Insurance Company Limited. Copy<<<>>
Earlier each and every
letter related to GHI was not only marked to all Recognized
Unions/Associations but Associations and Unions were part of process for
deciding the Group Health Insurance Policy for the employees of BSNL, but
this time, in deliberate attempt the officers in Admin section have not even
marked copy of this letter to any recognized Association or Union and are
working and reasons are best known to them.
The earlier GHI policy
is closed on 31/05/2024 as M/S Oriental Insurance Company has enhanced the
rates for renewal abnormally and also had put stringent conditions and many
meetings held for negotiations of rates failed.
In last meeting held
for renewal of policy or starting new GHI Policy, it was unanimously decided not to go ahead with this policy as M/S
Oriental Insurance Company as it has increased rates abnormally and it is not
in the interest of employees of BSNL due to stringent conditions and abnormally
enhanced rates.
In this meeting no
member of BSNL Committee was present and the leaders of all the recognized
Associations and Unions have unanimously conveyed to stop this GHI Policy from
M/S Oriental Insurance Company.
Over the years and in every GHI related
meeting, when certain demands were made by Associations/Unions like certain
payment of GHI Premium by BSNL, it has
been clarified by the Chairman and all Members of the Committee from Management
side that BSNL Management is only facilitator in GHI Policy and nothing should
be expected from BSNL.
It was always quoted that as this GHI policy was initially started as
per request of Associations/Unions and the leaders of Associations/Unions only
will have to take call on continuation or discontinuation of GHI policy and
BSNL Management has no role in it.
When the leaders of
Associations and Unions have requested PGM Admin as Chairman of the committee, for
certain contribution of premium amount from BSNL Side or even for reimbursement
of co-payment amount from the Medical claims of the employees as BSNL is
saving about 25 Crores under BSNL MRS, he has raised hands stating that BSNL
has no direct role in GHI Policy and BSNL is acting as facilitator for this GHI
Policy.
Same has been
mentioned in this letter under clause 4 that BSNL Management will only act as
facilitator on behalf of beneficiaries of this GHI Policy. If it is so, why
officers in Admin section are going ahead with this policy by keeping aside
strongly oppose by all recognized Associations and Unions, is question to be
answered by the officers in Admin section.
But now against this permanent Stand of Chairman and
members of the committee from Management side, and when all Associations and
Unions have conveyed in clear words to discontinue this GHI Policy due to high Premium and
stringent conditions, the officers in Admin section have taken stand for
continuation of this policy and this 180 degree change in stand of officers in
Admin section establishes that something is pressing them hard to go against
their own decision and stand and support M/S Oriental by compelling BSNL
Employees to pay higher premium for policy with added stringent conditions over
the last year policy.
It means,
when it is interest of Employees, officers in Admin Section are facilitator but
when it is interest of M/S Oriental Insurance Company, then they are Promoters giving
permission to company to loot BSNL employees.
But unfortunately the
officers in Admin Section are much interested in this GHI Policy even with abnormally
enhanced high rates and even with addition of stringent conditions by M/S
Oriental Insurance Company, and we smell that vested interest of these officers
are given more priority than the interest of the Executives and Non-Executives
in BSNL.
By understanding manmade
issues and self-interest of officers dealing with GHI Policy over the medical
requirement and needs of the BSNL employees and interest of BSNL, SNEA CHQ has already given message to all executives
and Non-Executives to have critical analysis of the newly proposed GHI Policy
with Higher Premium rates and stringent conditions against the interest of
employees opting for this policy.
In fact the officers
in Admin section including Chairman were over excited and eager to continue
this policy with whatever rates but the member of Committee from Management
side along with leaders of all recognized Associations and Unions have made all
out efforts for reducing rates and removal of stringent conditions.
But same was not at
all accepted by the representatives of the Insurance Company, rather company has added some stringent conditions
after negotiation meetings and same are now accepted by Admin section in back
door action. Earlier we have doubt, which is confirmed now, that
someone from BSNL has joined hands with the representatives of the M/S Oriental
Insurance Company and given them firm assurance that whatever condition you
put, they will take care that policy will be renewed/continued in BSNL..
This approval of GHI
Policy is being issued even without consulting any Association/Unions and many of the employees are now asking leaders
that who has approved the such high and abnormal rates.
In dramatic step, vide
letter dated 25/06/2024 issued to GS of all Recognized Unions/Associations,
the Admin Section
BSNL CO has conveyed that multiple requests are coming from the field units for
continuation of this policy on whatever may be rates and whatever may be
conditions and stressed importance of continuation of GHI policy. Copy<<<>>
But on our query, the with the concerned officers from the Admin section
BSNL CO, it is informed that no written request is received by Admin section
for continuation of existing GHI Policy from any Circle or BA officially or
even from individual, but some individuals have called these officers in Admin
section and requested for extension of GHI Policy.
To counter check the say of Admin section, we have called for such
feedback from individuals, but till today, we have not received any request for
continuation of GHI Policy with such high premium and stringent conditions,
rather we have received many complaints about high rates and stringent
conditions applied in this new GHI Policy.
It is clearly establishing that it is lie pocessed in
files and letters by the officers in Admin Section of BSNL CO so that this
policy is continued at any cost.
In response to this
letter, on 10/07/2024, SNEA has submitted details to PGM Admin BSNL CO in
presence of DGM Admin BSNL CO and updated about responses from PSU Insurance
Companies as well as from Private Insurance Companies. We have shred rates
available from alternate policy from National Insurance Company and its
comparison which shows how M/S Oriental is charging arbitrarily. NIC <<<>>
Comparsn <<<>>
Both PGM Admn and DGM
Admn have given patience hearing to our information, discussed other details but
have not given any final decision in conclusion of discussions. It was expected to have discussions on this
issue by one more meeting of Committee and leaders of all recognized Associations/Unions,
but PGM Admin and DGM Admn are in so much hurry that they have taken fastest
steps for approval of this GHI Policy without discussions with Leaders of Associations
and Unions and also without formal meeting of committee members from Management
side.
Important
point is that they got approval of this GHI Policy from the Director EB when
the regular Director HR has joined his duties and was rightly available in the
office.
For approval of long
awaited PwBD promotions even after binding directions from Hon Cat Delhi, the
file is not cleared by Director EB giving reason that regular Director HR
should look into all such issues and in this case of GHI Policy, same is approved
by Director EB, when Regular Director HR has joined office. This establishes the depth of vested
interest and pressure of these officers in the Admin section dealing with this
case.
At initial stage, some
rates were offered by M/S Oriental Insurance company and there were no
conditions applied, but later during negotiation process, the company has
applied many conditions like
restriction on entry of the parents, restrictions of diseases due to blood
pressure, 20% Co-payment in place of initial discussions for 10% that to be
with reduced rates, then condition for deciding proposal by 30/06/2024
otherwise increase in rates, then minimum membership of 5000 families and
unfortunately all these conditions are accepted by Officers in Administration
for reasons best known for them.
There are many lacunas
in policy and on declaration of this GHI Policy SNEA has received many queries
like.
It may be please seen
how the Insurance Company and officers in Admin Section are cheating the employees.
We have consolidated some of facts which are as follows.
·
Under
clause 15 & 16 of this GHI Policy letter it has been clearly mentioned that
BSNL has no role
in any policy opted by individual employee on its own and the claim will be raised
and settled by individual employee on its own and any grievance of employees
will also be looked into by BSNL through nodal officer to be appointed by
Insurance Company.
·
If, Admin
Section/BSNL Management is not taking any responsibility, then only role to be
played by the officers in admin section is to deduct the Premium from monthly
salary of the employees and making its payment to M/S Oriental Insurance
Company i.e. safeguarding only interest of Insurance Company by forcing BSNL
employees to accept this policy as higher rates and with added stringent
conditions.
·
In this
final letter, in deliberate attempt the officers in admin section have hidden
the stringent condition applied by M/S Oriental Insurance Company under Note (b) that this GHI policy will come to an existence only if minimum 5000
families are opting for this policy . Copy<<<>>
·
In the same letter under point 2, it has been
mentioned that the group Insurance Policy is important in larger interest of
employees and their dependents as it provides health insurance from the first
day of the policy. But in this final letter for GHI Policy it has been
mentioned under clause 2.9 that Parents and newly enrolled Employees will not be
eligible for claims against treatment for Cancer, Dialysis, Hernia, Hip
Replacement and Knee Replacement for period of one year and the period of this
GHI Policy is only one year.
·
Apart from
this, nothing is mentioned about the condition under clause (b) of final offer
put by M/S Oriental Insurance Company that this quote is valid only up to
30/06/2024, then only these rates are applicable and in case of any policy beyond 30/06/2024, new rates
will be applicable.
·
This
condition was not in the earlier policy or in initial negotiations, but company
has added restrictions at later stage of negotiations and we have accepted it conditionally if the GHI
Premium rates are reduced to 1.2 time of last year policy. But premium is not reduced as requested by BSNL but
these restrictions are applied in this year policy and same are accepted by
admin section.
·
If the
parents are to be excluded from this policy, then very purpose of this Group
Health Insurance Policy is defeated as many opt for this GHI Policy for
taking care of health issues of Parents and for individual employees the
individual policies are available at cheaper rates.
·
Nowadays, nobody
has three children and on an average two children are present per family and as
per clause 2.3 of this GHI Policy after age of 25 these Children are not
allowed in this Group Insurance family by M/S Oriental Insurance company, then why three children and burden of higher premium
is added is not cleared even after our queries during negotiation meetings. On stressing hard, it was only informed that if
number of children are reduced then also premium will not be reduced much.
·
When
policies are available in Insurance market from other PSUs for each person, why
in BSNL such mandatory groups with group premium that to be at higher rates are
allowed is under question which is not satisfactorily answered by the officers
in administration or even by MS Oriental Insurance Company.
·
One has
to pay premium of Rs 1,15,472/- for Rs Five lakh Group Insurance Policy if
he/she is opting for two parents, that means more than Rs. 30 are charged for
Group Health Insurance of Rs. 100 which is highest in Insurance Market at least
in India.
·
Under Plan
A of this GHI Policy of Rs Five lakhs for self, spouse and three children are
available for Rs 34810 and under Plan D the GHI Policy of Rs Ten lakhs for
self, spouse and three children are available for Rs 49314. That means for Rs
Five lakh policy of this group total cost is Rs. 14504. If it is so, then why 34810 i.e. more than double the
amount is charged under Plan A needs to be critically analyzed.
·
Under Plan
E of this GHI Policy, Rs Ten lakhs claim is available for self, spouse, three
children and One Parent at Rs. 95401 and under Plan F for Rs Ten Lakh Insurance
only when one parent is added then it costs
Rs 136163 i.e. for one parent the policy costs Rs. 40762.
·
Under Plan
B GHI Policy is available for self, spouse, three children and One Parent at
Rs. 62884 and under Plan C for Rs Five Lakh Insurance only one parent is added
then it costs Rs 115472 i.e. for
one parent the policy costs Rs. 52588. Addition of One parent under Ten lakh GHI Policy is Rs. 40762 and for
addition of same parent under Rs Five Lakh Policy is 52558.
·
This action
of arbitrary and non-logical premium amount by M/S Oriental Insurance Company
and its blind acceptance and proactive support
by officers in admin section BSNL CO is really ridiculous and disgusting.
Any wise and unbiased officer
who has not lost his credibility will understand this cheating and day light looting
by Insurance Company, but so called facilitators are blind enough on these
issues which can be visualized and understood with open eyes.
We feel that the
officers in Admin section are blind enough to understand this loot by M/S
Oriental Insurance Company only due to their vested interest and we cannot
allow them to loot our employees as being done now.
It is failure of the
officers in admin section that they are not able to provide the minimum
required support and medical facilities under BSNL Medical Reimbursement Scheme
and by such actions, they only have created
compulsions for opting for GHI policy by forcing BSNL employees to pay the
Heavy premium of GHI policy by self-contribution and any benefits out of such
high premium are passed on to these officers.
By taking note of this
doubtful actions by officers in admin section, SNEA CHQ has immediately taken
up this issue with Shri.
Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director
HR BSNL Board, on evening of 12/07/2024, who has joined back after long
leave and we have discussed the issues created by PGM Admin and DGM Admin BSNL
by issuing this biased policy even after strong opposition by leaders of all
Associations and Unions.
We made it clear that we the representatives are here to negotiate
rates in the interest of Employees and if this policy was to be continued at
dictating rates and terms of M/S Oriental Insurance Company, then
what for leaders of all recognised Associations and Unions were called for
negotiation meetings for last three months needs to be clarified.
We also made it clear that except the vested interest of these officers, there is no any other
reason for these officers to go ahead with and publish the so called voluntary
GHI Policy, when this time it has been strongly opposed by leaders of all Associations
and Unions and even the members of the Committee from Management side have not agreed
for such high rates in any of the official meeting and if something has cooked
behind curtains, we are not aware about it.
We have
brought to the notice of Director HR how this policy is serving interest of
certain officers in BSNL dealing with this policy and not serving interest of
the employees of BSNL and after understanding the depth of issues and concern
raised by us Director HR has assured to look into the issues.
We have elaborated all
these facts here on website for information of all executives and Non-Executives
in BSNL and now, it is up to individual Executives
and Non-Executives to decide to join
hands with officers in Admin Section of BSNL CO for protecting their self-interest
by accepting this GHI Policy with highest premium and stringent conditions or not to opt this GHI policy and register strong protest
against the poor attitude of officers in Admin section to compel the employees
to pay the higher premium for this GHI policy and get looted in hands of the
Insurance company and its blind support
by certain officers in admin section of BSNL CO.
SNEA
will continue to oppose to such biased and selfish act of the officers in Admin
section thereby forcing Executives and Non-Executives in BSNL to pay premium at
higher rates than the available in Market and we will expose the nexus
developed over the years of dealing by these officers with Insurance Company.
We are
hopeful that corrective action is taken by Director HR BSNL Board and if not,
we will have to take up matter at appropriate forum to stop the loot of BSNL
Executives and Non-Executives and to have good and long lasting Group Health Insurance
Policy at affordable rates and strong and continued support under BSNL MRS
Policy.
To support the GHI
Policy by BSNL through M/S Oriental Insurance company, it was decided by SNEA
as well as AIGETOA to close the GHI Policies with M/S National Insurance
Companies , but the this one sided action by BSNL Management under the influence
of officers in Admin section, has compelled us to review our decision.
Last year also rate of
M/S Oriental Insurance Company were higher, but same were reasonable and it was
discussed and decided in the official meeting and this year officers in admin
section have taken it granted to all employees and officers in BSNL and have
introduced new GHI Policy even without
consulting the leaders of Unions/Assocations that to be with higher rates and
stringent conditions. Our strong objection is for Higher Rates ,
additional conditions and mainly not discussing the issues in the official
Negotation meeting before going ahed with the proposal rejected in last
official meeting on the subject.
After one sided
opening of this policy, GS BSNLEU, GS NFTE BSNL, GS AIGETOA and GS SNEA have discussed about this wrong attitude of BSNL
Management and write to Director HR to stop the GHI policy and we are also
working on getting alternate GHI Policy for all Executives and Non Executives
in BSNL which will be surely cheaper rates than
what is proposed in the M/S Oriental
policy.
Let us hope for the
best.

Adasul, GS SNEA CHQ felicitated Shri. Rohit Sharma, Member Services,
Department of Telecommunications and congratulated him on assumption of
charge of high office of Member Services, DoT w.e.f. 01/07/2024.
In
reciprocation, he conveyed thanks to team SNEA and shared sweet memories he had
while working in BSNL in different capacities and in different Circles. He
categorically mentioned about the inbuilt protentional of BSNL and strength of
workforce and was optimistic about overall growth of BSNL.
As Member
Services DoT, he will be dealing with certain important issues related to
BSNL and its Executives. We solicited his support is resolution of long pending
issues of BSNL Executives viz. Upgraded Standard Pay Scales, Implementation of
3rd PRC for Executives in BSNL, applicability of Old pension for
eligible executives in BSNL, Promotional issues of BSNL Executives, Allotment
of Infra/Hostel Accommodation for smooth trainings at ALTTC Ghaziabad etc. Member
Services DoT, was kind enough to discuss all the issues and assured for total
support to BSNL.
On issue
of Upgraded Standard Pay scales for affected Executives in BSNL, we
have elaborated him the factual position and issues in implementation of PO
dated 28/03/2017 and specially requested for his intervention for review of
this order to cover the affected JTOs/JAOs in BSNL. After patience hearing, he
noted the certain points and directed us to give brief idea about this issue to
Sr DDG Establishment DoT. He informed that while in BSNL he was updated on this
issue and assured to extend all possible support in resolution of this issue.
On our
request for Implementation of 3rd PRC in BSNL, Member (S) DoT
informed that this is genuine issue but by understanding financial conditions
of BSNL , the associations need to come forward for implementation of 3rd
PRC with 0% Fitment Formula and it will definitely pass on certain benefits to
the BSNL employees and mainly it will overcome stagnation faced by many employees
of BSNL.
We
requested that in 2018 it was proposed by DoT for with 5% fitment formula and
at least this needs to be continued after seven years of delay. We further
added that if after passing seven years, the fitment is reduced to 0%, then Executives
and Non-Executives in BSNL may not get due benefits out of the 3rd
PRC and it may continue level of demotivation among them.
We added
that GoI & DoT, has invested about 3.25 lakh Crore in overall revival of
BSNL and for implementation of different projects by GoI and revival of BSNL, there
is need of minimum level of motivation for BSNL workforce and requested for minimum
5% Fitment formula in implementation of 3rd PRC.
Member (S) elaborated that by now IDA has crossed 200%
and this 0% fitment will also be win-win situation for all and association
should analyse and think on it.
We assured
to have detailed review on it, but insisted for continuation of discussions for
implementation of 3rd PRC from the discussions from the stage at
which it was halted.
Member (S)
elaborated that issues needs to be understood by all from all angles and then
go ahead with it. He assured for possible support from his side and reminded us
that this is lengthy procedure and difficult task and it will surely take time.
He further added that the proposal can
be discussed in DoT only if all Associations and Unions come with single
proposal in voice, otherwise status quo will continue. We assured to discuss it
among leaders of other Associations and Unions in BSNL and update him on such
single demand proposal.
On DoT
Pension for eligible BSNL executives, he added that this issue has been
decided by DoT and it is not applicable for BSNL. We requested to take up this
issue with DoP&PW for its implementation in BSNL as during this period the eligibility
is being counted for DoT Pension, BSNL was also direct part of DoT. He directed
us to give detailed written submission on it and assured to look into issues if
any.
On issue
of the allotment of Hostel facility for ALTTC Ghaziabad and dispute thereof
between NTIPRIT and ALTTC, he informed that both the institutions are important
and the ongoing dispute is unfortunate and it could have been avoided.
On our
request for consideration of proposal by BSNL for allotment of certain
minimum Infra for smooth functioning of ALTTC and present burning need of
Hostel accommodation, Member (S) informed that he has already issued
instructions for allotment of hostel and DG NTIPRIT has assured him for issuing
orders in weeks’ time and hopefully issue will be resolved. He made it clear
that NTIPRIT will make Hostel facility available for all courses till March
2025, by in meantime ALTTC will have to make arrangements for the same. He
added that the high level delegation from ALTTC and NTIPRIT will meet shortly
to sort out the issues and training needs of each other. He assured that till
any issues are left, same may be brought to his notice and assured to get it
resolved.
We have
also discussed about issues about promotional policies and need of intervention
of DoT for streamlines promotions in BSNL by issuing certain queries and
clarifications required by BSNL. He asked to submit brief note on it and
assured to look into it.
We also
requested for extending support for all development and Operational issues of
BSNL and he assured for whatever possible support for overall growth of BSNL.
In
conclusion, we once again Congratulated Shri Rohit Sharma, Member (S) DoT

Successful Migration of all South Zone Circles to CDR
P3 System: In an milestone achievement, ITPC has
been successfully now migrated all South Zone Circles to new CDR P3 system and entire
South will be live from 08/07/2024.
This project started with migration of two SSAs of
Maharashtra Circle i.e. Satara and Bhandara on pilot basis and then entire West
Zone consisting MH, Gujarat, MP, Chhattisgarh Circles are successfully migrated
on 07/09/2023.
Now, achieving a major milestone, the entire South

will be live since 08/07/2024.
In Next phase North Zone and East Zone will be
migrated to CDR P3 making it PAN India One Data Center at Hyderabad with DR
Data Center at Pune.
With migration to new CDR P3 system, all legacy
OSS/BSS applications like clarity CRM, PMS, FMS are replaced with latest
applications and a major Digital transformation project for BSNL. It will improve customer care by making available various
integrated channels like social media, mobile app, portal, messaging and IVRS
etc for Internal customers/ partners to facilitate faster onboarding of
customers and resolution of complaints.
Moreover integration with OTT players with facility of
auto provisioning shall delight customers. Though there is 360 degree change in
DSCM & FMS modules, Marathon efforts done by team ITPC in conducting
trainings to field units and arranging video recordings, short video demos/ documentation
to all users to carry on all day to day activities will be helpful in going
ahead with upgraded CDR P3 system.

Update
on JTO to SDE Civil/Electrical wing promotions: The JTOs
is Civil and Electrical wing are victim of curtailment of SDE vacancies over
the period and the lack of suitable policy for their promotion. SNEA has taken
up this issue with BSNL Management for issuing JTO to SDE Civil and Electrical
wing promotions as many of these JTOs have completed 25 years of services and
till today they have not got even single promotion is their career of about 25
years.
Accordingly,
proposals for promotions of JTOs as SDE in Civil and Electrical were initiated respectively
by BW and EW sections of BSNL CO before six months but the same was returned by
DPC Pers section quoting pendency of the appeal by BSNL at High Court Chandigarh.
One case
filed by JTO Civil as applicant against JTO LICE combinedly notified for Civil
and Electrical wing and this LICE notice was challenged in CAT Chandigarh and
the court has given judgement in favour of applicant. Then BSNL has gone in
appeal against it and same is admitted but not yet decided. The said applicant
is retired and it was only notification issued and no promotions were issued
due to this litigation and there is nothing left in the case, but due to
pendency of appeal made by BSNL, the promotions are not issued by BSNL.
SNEA is continuously
pursuing this issue and we have repeatedly requested Management for issuing JTO
to SDE Promotions of Civil/Electrical wing subject to outcome of the pending court
case and such written request was submitted to Director HR BSNL Board. COPY <<<>>
The matter
was repeatedly pursued with CGM BW, CGM EW for resending proposal for issuing
promotions subject to outcome of the court case and both the offices have
resent the proposal for issuing SDE to AGM Promotions before one month.
SNEA has
further discussed with concerned officers in Pers Section and it was decided by Pers section to call for
legal opinion. Then file was processed for legal opinion for getting green
signal to go ahead with these promotions subject to outcome of the pending court
case.
Now, legal
opinion has been received and it has been conveyed that as the appeal is filed
by BSNL against judgement of CAT Chandigarh, BSNL cannot go ahead with
Promotions without permission of the High Court Chandigarh.
As such,
the application will be moved in High Court Chandigarh requesting for
permission to issuing JTO to SDE Promotions during pendency of appeal. After
ongoing vacation, the Chandigarh High Court will open in coming week and we are
hopeful for getting clearance from the court.
SNEA will
continue its pursuation with different options and ascertain for early
promotion orders of JTO to SDE Civil & Electrical wing viz. getting case
cleared from the court either by withdrawal or by early decision on pending appeal
by BSNL, getting permission for going ahead with the JTO to SDE Promotions in Civil/Electrical
wing, ascertain possibilities for SCF promotions and LICE promotions separately
etc. We are hopeful for some early action and outcome in this case in coming
days. Let us hope for the best.
