GS writes to Management on important resolutions of CWC Jaipur:
1.Resolution on replacing non standard IDA pay scales by standard IDA scales.
2.Resolution on abnormal delay in switching over to mechanism of CPSU cadre hierarchy.
3.Resolution adopted by CWC on 30% superannuation benefits.
4.Resolution adopted by CWC on generalization of FR 22 1 (A) 1
in regard to officiating JTOs.
Important decisions of CWC Jaipur held on 26th & 27th May, 2014.
1. The CWC resolved to focus fully on the revival of BSNL in the next two years keeping in mind the next pay revision for the BSNL Executives due from 01.01.2017. The Management and all the employees should work in tandem to achieve this goal. Efforts should be made to ensure that “pension revision” also becomes one of the terms of reference of the next PRC.
2. The shortage of materials like OF cable, 5 pair cable, EPBTs, Modems and UG cable in Circles and MPLS ports are severely affecting the development and maintenance of the network. BSNLCO should ensure the availability of all essential materials in the field units for operation and maintenance activities.
3. The standard pay scales of E2, E3, -----, E7 should be implemented from 01.01.2007 without further delay. In case pension contribution issue is not getting resolved in a reasonable time, the possibility of extending relief to the JTO/JAOs recruited after 01.01.2007 especially the 2007 and 2008 batch JTOs may be explored.
4. The CWC demanded full 30% superannuation benefit to BSNL Recruited employees as it is a social security measure. The Management should consider the matter sympathetically. CWC decided that Association shall have further discussions with the Management to settle the issue at the earliest.
5. The CWC decided to explore the possibility of extending “Full Pension” option to the Executives and employees recruited directly by BSNL as a onetime measure as EPF pension with “Full Pension” option is equivalent to Govt pension. BSNL Corporate office should take up the matter with EPF authorities at appropriate level. Further the CWC demands centralized EPF payment.
6. The CWC decided to extend total solidarity and support to the agitating comrades of SNEA(I), Kerala Circle and stand with them wholeheartedly and unitedly for seeking settlement of their issues with the CGMT who works with a pre-determined mindset to destabilize the exemplary work culture existing in the Circle which has taken it to the heights of productivity and profitability.
7. Membership verification among Executives’ Association needs to be expedited. Meanwhile the issues raised by the Association are to be addressed by the Management to have meaningful membership verification. The subscription deduction through check off system to be demanded in case the membership verification is getting delayed further.
8. CWC outrightly rejected the draft proposal on CPSU cadre hierarchy as it is again linked with the availability of posts and seniority. Further CWC felt that by proposing very stringent attendant conditions, the Management is trying to take away even the minimum promotional avenues, today the Executives are having in BSNL. Time Bound Functional Promotion or CPSU cadre hierarchy is to be pursued in the Joint Committee under the banner of United Forum.
9. For conducting the next All India Conference, 6 Circles namely Andhra Pradesh, Delhi (BSNLCO&NTR), Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan and UP(West) Circles came forward. The CWC directed the concerned Circles to submit the required data by 15th July, 2014 and final decision on the AIC venue will be taken by a Committee comprising of Com GS, Com CHQ Treasurer, Com Arvind Dahiya/AGS(HQ) and Com H Muthu/AGS.
10. CHQ Quota/Building Fund/Legal Fund payment: All defaulting Circles should clear the pending Building fund and Legal fund at the earliest. The CWC discussed the pending CHQ Quota/Building Fund/Legal Fund payment by Gujarat Circle. Circle Secretary, Gujarat Circle assured the CWC that GUJ Circle will pay maximum Building Fund, Legal Fund and all the pending CHQ quota by the first week of July, 2014.
11. Circle Conferences of Punjab, Jharkhand and NE II Circles are to be held within 3 months.
12. The constitution amendment committee submitted its report and the CWC after detailed deliberations approved the proposals. It will be placed before the next AIC for approval.
13. The CWC resolved that the pay anomalies like a) fixation of pay on officiating promotion and pay protection, b) Antedating of increment or implementation of uniform increment date and c) Senior drawing less pay than the Juniors etc are to be settled by BSNL.
14. First TBP after 4 years w.e.f 01.10.2000 to be pursued separately.
15. Many Circles reported very poor quality of Type II modem supplied by M/s Terracom. The range is hardly 2 to 4 meters in many modems supplied. It shall be taken up with BSNLCO.
16. As per the existing rules, immunity is not applicable for promotions. Accordingly for future promotions, immunity will not be extended. Genuine medical cases like cancer, mentally retarded cases, physically handicapped cases etc for the self and family members only should be taken up for retention in the Circle. Association should ensure that long standing Executives in the Circles should not be posted to the non recruiting Circles and nearby Circles to avoid long standing transfers to tenure circles.
17. CWC demands complete uniformity in the BSNLMS RR for promotion to EE cadre in Civil/Electrical/Arch wings like Telecom /Finance wing.
18. CWC decided to further take up the generalization of “notional date of promotion” for the Executives promoted in 2004 in LDCE quota once Hon Supreme Court gives a judgment in this regard.
19. The CWC demands generalization of FR 22(1)(a)(1) fixation benefit to all the Officiating JTOs and Officiating JTOs regularised upto 2007.
20. FR 22(1)(a)(1) fixation benefits and DNI option for the promotions from JTO to SDE made in May, 2000 shall be taken up with BSNL, DoT and DPE.
21. CWC decided to demand “Notional date of promotion” for the JTOs who could not join in March, 2011 promotion order due to stay on promotion orders.
22. CWC decided to repair and occupy the building at Dehradun, Uttarakhand. CHQ decided to provide loan to UKD Circle for the same

Seminar held on 25th March 2014 at Telephone Bhavan on constraints and remedies in service related to CMTS, Transmission, Broadband & GPON etc.
SNEA India/Calcutta Telephones Circle is extremely thankful to Shri Gautam chakraborty, CGM/CTD to have consented to and participate in the Interactive Session with Shri Gautam Kar PGM(O), Shri S. Samanta Sr GM/HR & Admin, Shri K.C Ghosh GM NWO-II/CFA, Shri Pradip Gupta GM/Tx, Shri S S Dhar GM/CMTS, Shri Sinha GM/Marketing and Shri Balai Dey DGM NWP-II/CFA on one side and field executives along with Circle and Zonal Office bearers on other side held on 25th of March 2014 at Telephone Bhavan.
The Session was an absorbing one, wherein both sides, quite candidly and unhesitantly dissected the constraints and shortcomings to find the root cause to deficient service in areas of CMTS, Transmission, Broadband, GPON etc and could come out with suggestions as remedies to such situation. The discussion was largely restricted to CMTS, Tx, GPON, BB to make way for extensive discussions within stipulated time and come out with solutions, implementable in practible perspective. The deliberations did not dither to stay away from self criticism and honest confessions; rather, all had risen above such tinsel wrapped ego to come out with constructive proposals to save BSNL/Calcutta Telephones. Landline is declining worldwide, so do in India, The revenue loss in the segment undoubtedly needs to be garnered from Broadband and CMTS service. The Broadband connection brings high ARPU, so do GPON. But to maintain standard service in these fields, the BTSs, DSLAMs, Tier-II switches, Fibre connection to housing complexes---stabilisation of Trans Media should be the top focus besides maintaing electrical installations/ apparatus at various terminals.
Com Nirmal Kumar Sarkar President/CTC addressed the House briefing the need of such interactive sessions in today's position with respect to Calcutta Telephones and find ways to deliver better service to customers.
Com Shankar Sanyal AGS/SNEA(India) expressed vote of thanks to all participants, particularly to CGM to have responded so spontaneously and consenting to be part of the programme

State President, V.P(Com. M.K.Das), Org.Secy/South Bengal,Asstt. Secy/Circle, Zonal Secretary/Central South Zone & AGS(Com.S.Sanyal) met CGM/WBTC on 15.02.2014 and had a detailed discussion on the following issues:-
(i) Formation of L-2 team in a proper manner at Circle Office Level for CDR issues and training:- We requested CGM/WBTC to provide exclusive Officials at Executive Level for a) TR, b) Provisioning,c) CRM, d) Networking issues and we expressed our strong demand regarding proper training to be arranged for the executives working at L-1 team/SSA level. We told CGM to arrange training for the Executives working at L-1/SSA & L-2 Level because which works to be done and how to be done by the concerned Executives are not known to them. We had a talk with GM/ITPC in this regard and he told that there is provision for direct training at ITPC nodal centre at saltlake for the Executives working at L-1 or L-2 Level. We requested CGM to issue a circular to all SSA Heads for the said training if needed for the Executives working at L-1/L-2 team. CGM/WBTC agreed on the said matter to issue the circular and assured to take necessary action to provide Executives for L-2 team.
(ii) Allotment of fund on Line Maintenance & Optital Fibre Line Maintenance Under Jalpaiguri SSA :- We apprised CGM/WBTC that there are about thirty Exchanges in Jalpaiguri SSA are being maintained by Labour only as no Phone mechanic is there. Normal payment to labour for day to day Maintenance work are pending w.e.f Oct,2013 to Jan,2014. As per report of CAO/IFA, Jalpaiguri about 18 Lakh is urgently required at a time on only Line Maintenance & Labour payment purpose to sustain Landline & Broadband customers of this SSA.GM/Jalpaiguri SSA already wrote a letter to GM/Finance/WBTC in this regard. We requested CGM to allot the fund at the earliest for survival of Jalpaiguri SSA. CGM/WBTC told that he would try his level best for fund allotment.
(iii) Payment to I.T.I for control cards repairing :- We informed CGM/WBTC that some control cards are pending for repair with M/S I.T.I for non payment and I.T.I will not repair any card further more - the due amount is 4.5 Lakh. It was reported to GM/Finance several times by GM/Jalpaiguri SSA, but no action is taken at GM/Finance end. About 80 faulty control cards viz. ETS/TSC/ARC/BME/BPC/HMS are now in hand, which are to be sent for repairing to I.T.I, needs another 1.5 Lakh. So we requested CGM/WBTC for approval for repairing of Control cards within 28-02-2014 from Circle Office as well as allotment of fund which is due to I.T.I. CGM/WBTC assured to take n/a.
(iv) Correction in Data :-For providing NTC from DHUPGURI Exchange Urban 120 does not highlight in customize. So it is to be corrected.
(v) Manpower shortage at Five CSC in Jalpaiguri SSA :- We informed CGM/WBTC that there are no departmental staff at 5 CSC viz. Falacata, Dhupguri, Jayga, Alipurduar,Hashimara in Jalpaiguri SSA, but the said places are of huge revenue potential areas.So Customers of the said places are not in a position to pay their Telephone Bills at CSCs and as a result the customers' land lines are being disconnected automatically by ITPC. We requested CGM/WBTC to provide regular staff at the above mentioned CSCs immediately for survival of Jalpaiguri SSA. CGM/WBTC agreed on the matter.
(vi) Non deliver of subscribers' Telephone bills through out WBTC :- We apprised CGM/WBTC that a good nos of subscribers of WBTC are not getting their telephones bills. Subscribers are giving their complains at local exchanges in every month that they are not getting their telephones bills from their local post offices.We requested CGM to look into the matter and to take necessary steps .

(vii) HR issues:a) We requested CGM/WBTC to allot exclusive man power including executives and non-executives for CM-Vertical under SSA heads and under GM-CM/WBTC.CGM/WBTC agreed on this matter.b) Transfer posting and release of some executives. c)Issuance of DGM lookafter order d) AGM lookafter arrangement and other issues.

Building, Kolkata on 25.01.2014.Almost all State office bearers,
CWC members, Zonal Secretaries and State Executives attended the
meeting. Main agenda of discussion was ensuing Membership
verification for the Executives working in BSNL and related
organizational activities to be done by the Office bearers at
different organizational levels as well as activists. Zonal
Secretaries have given their reports in details regarding
organizational activities as well as the problems prevailing in
Zones in respect of individual member, maintenance &
developments and SEC decided what to do in this regard. It is
decided in the meeting that the XXV State Conference of SNEA(
Our prolonged demand of Revision of RR of JTO(T) 2001 has been accepted by the Management and a draft RR has been prepared and circulated among Associations. This has paved the way for early regularisation of officiating JTOs
This was the original proposal of this Association since 2004 to make them JTOs as a onetime measure by amending the RRs but it took 8 years due to conflicting demands and all of them lost precious 8 years service.
Comments should be sent to CHQ through mail to sneachq@yahoo.com before 26-01-2014.
However this Association strongly and unequivocally condemn the move of BSNL Management to demote the cadre of JTO by recommending E1 Pay Scale to the cadre of JTO in the draft JTO Recruitment Rule. We are fully committed to expose and defeat the sinister designs of BSNL Management to denigrate the cadre of JTO. We have tirelessly struggled for decades to uplift the cadre of JTO and we shall shed every drop of our blood to ensure that the JTO cadre does not in any way loose its dignity and strategic importance in the company.
Full day State Executive Committee meeting will be held on 25th January 2014 at TI HALL, CTO, Kolkata. All State office Bearers, CWC members, Zonal Secretaries and State Executives are requested to attend the SEC meet positively.
