An appeal from AIBSNLEA Karnataka circle to all the BSNL Executives belonging to the Accounts and Finance Stream “Accounts Fraternity” for Solidarity and Support in terms of your vote for AIBSNLEA in the 3rd MVP

An appeal for Solidarity and Support in terms of your vote for  AIBSNLEA in the 3rd MVP .

Kind attention to all the BSNL Executives belonging to the Accounts and Finance Stream “Accounts Fraternity”

Dear Esteemed Colleagues,

I am writing to you today with a heartfelt appeal to our fellow executives belonging to the Accounts and Finance Stream regarding the importance of unity and support for the All-India BSNL Executives' Association (AIBSNLEA) during the forthcoming 3rd Membership Verification Process (MVP).

As we all are aware, AIBSNLEA was established on 1st May 2004 through the amalgamation of ten different associations, a significant move aimed at fostering unity among BSNL executives from various backgrounds. Of particular note, it incorporated the All-India P & T Finance and Accounts Officers, the sole Association representing our Accounts fraternity,  as the second strong pillar of AIBSNLEA.

Since the inception of AIBSNLEA, it has consistently provided sufficient representation for officers belonging to the Accounts and Finance Stream at all three levels (CHQ/Circle/Branch) within the association. AIBSNLEA has effectively addressed matters and grievances pertaining to the executives belonging to Finance stream, which is evident from its track record, verifiable on the CHQ site of AIBSNLEA.

Contrastingly, it is worth noting that no other association, including the current MA & SA, has shown similar dedication to addressing the concerns of executives from the accounting fraternity, as can be confirmed by examining the CHQ sites of those Associations. It was only with the advent of MVP that other Associations started considering the inclusion of executives from the accounting fraternity into their bodies.

However, the treatment meted out by these other Associations to our fellow officers from the accounting fraternity is concerning. It often appears that they either treat the representatives from officers from the accounting fraternity as mere rubber stamps or neglect them altogether. This disparity is unambiguous when compared to the inclusive and supportive stance of AIBSNLEA.

To illustrate, in 2018, when AIBSNLEA organized mass promotions for BSNL executives, AIBSNLEA demanded proportional post upgrades for the Finance Stream as well. Initially, the management hesitated due to strong objections from the then MA - SNEA. However, AIBSNLEA's diligent presentation of facts and figures led to the management's agreement to upgrade AO posts to CAO, on par with the Telecom Stream. When the happy news was uploaded to AIBSNLEA CHQ site, regrettably, soon after this positive development, SNEA protested against it through their letter , asserting that the Finance Stream should not be treated equally with the Telecom Operation Stream. Had SNEA not objected to the decision of management upon the persuasion of AIBSNLEA, all the eligible AOs now desperately waiting for their CAO promotion could have been promoted as CAO, and by this time they could have been promoted as DGM-F. Thus, instead of superannuating in the grade of DGM, the officers are retiring as mere AOs with wet eyes. Which Association is responsible for this cruelly crafted fate of executives from the accounting fraternity? Had SNEA not objected the agreement of management with AIBSNLEA, the “Status Quo” in the promotion from AO to CAO should not have been aroused as all the applicants could have been promoted to CAO in 2018 itself. Subsequently, hundreds of JAOs could have been promoted as AOs. The present MA also has not done anything sincerely either to vacate the “Status Quo” or for the benefit of the executives belonging to the Accounts fraternity waiting for their second promotion since last 27 years.

Furthermore, for the long-pending AO to CAO promotions, pending since 2018, neither the present MA nor SA has effectively approached BSNL management as AIBSNLEA has. Recent writings on their CHQ sites seem more like attempts to gain votes from executives in the accounting fraternity than genuine efforts to resolve the issue. Finally, as there is no effective support from either MA or SA, AIBSNLEA CHQ is forced to approach the Hon’ble CAT Chandigarh to vacate the status quo to enable the promotion from AO to CAO.

Both MA and SA have demonstrated a concerning bias, treating executives from the accounting fraternity as second-class citizens. In various parts of BSNL, they have subjected executives from the accounting fraternity to unsettling situations by placing them under the supervision of Telecom Operations Executives.

Therefore, we earnestly urge all executives from the accounting fraternity to reflect upon this appeal and extend your support to AIBSNLEA during the impending MVP. AIBSNLEA stands as the singular platform that champions our cause and advocates for the rights of the executives belonging the accounting fraternity within BSNL.

Unity among the accounting fraternity is indispensable for our comfortable and balanced survival in BSNL. AIBSNLEA, with its proven track record, is the vanguard of this unity. We implore you to stand in solidarity with AIBSNLEA in the forthcoming MVP, ensuring that our voices are heard and our concerns addressed effectively for your prosperity.

Thank you for your consideration, and let us work together for a stronger, more inclusive BSNL where every executive is treated with the respect and fairness they deserve.

Sincerely Yours,

CS AIBSNLEA

REG PA/PS/PPS CHQ team DIR HR

Pending PS to PPS promotion: The PS to PPS promotion for field units has been pending for the last one year even though the necessary seniority details were received at BSNL CO well before 6–7 months.

The Provisional gradation All India Seniority List was expected before 6 months. The progress towards releasing the AIL (Provisional) at a snail's pace is not at all encouraging compared to the speed of those in other streams. AIBSNLEA shared the complaint from field officers of the cadres that only  PA to PS and PS to PPS promotions are delayed, and AIBSNLEA requested to release AIL by this week itself.

DIR HR assured us that management would do the needful for the early release of the gradation List.

Request to restart the EPP Up-gradation Training for the Executives belonging to the CSS/PA/PS/PPS/Sr.PPS cadres as well at par with that in all other streams.  

submitted that the Financial Up-gradation Trainings for the EPP Up-gradation Examination under Executive’s Promotion Policy are restarted for all the Cadres belonging to all major streams, including Telecom Operation, Finance, Electrical, Civil, etc. except PA/PS/PPS/Sr.PPS/CSS etc. Earlier the up-gradation mandatory training for two weeks was being conducted for each and every cadre of Executives in BSNL before the up-gradation examination and the same Training had earlier been extended to the PA/PS/PPS/Sr.PPS/CSS cadres also.

Now the training has been restarted for all the Cadres after the Covid pandemic but the executives in these cadres only are left out from training prior to their exams.  The officers belonging to these cadres now finding difficulties to complete their Up-gradation mandatory Examination successfully without training. << Letter to DIR (HR)>>

DIR (HR) also shared the concerns of AIBSNLEA . DIR (HR) immediately contacted the  GM ( Training) during the meeting and directed the GM( Training)  to do the needful to start the training for all the officers belonging to these cadres at par with all officers in other streams. AIBSNLEA shared our sincere gratitude to DIR (HR) for the immediate action on the request submitted by AIBSNLEA.

Congratulations to all the officers belongs to the CSS/CSSS and PA/PS/PPS in filed units , you can also  Complete your Financial Up-gradation Examinations effortlessly due to AIBSNLEA.

PS/ Sr PPS post enhancement for BSNL CO and creation of Sr PPS in field units

AIBSNLEA submitted the detailed report for the proportional enhancement of PS/PPS and Sr PPS posts in BSNL CO and the creation of Sr PPS posts in field units at par with the DGM posts in other streams like Telecom Operation , Finance etc. DIR ( HR) had a patient hearing on our submissions and shared our concerns.

CSSS (PA/PS/PPS/Sr. PPS):

Dir(HR) suggested to write the details to PGM(Restructuring ) , BSNL CO, and have a direct meeting with the PGM.

Granting of the request for transfers to home circles for CSS/CSSS cadre officers in BSNL CO :

AIBSNLEA requested to the DIR ( HR) that as the transfer request for all other cadres is considered for their parent circles, the requested transfer for the officers belonging to the CSS/CSSS cadre officers in BSNL CO may also be considered in the same way on humanitarian grounds. The office activities being carried out by these officers do not fall under the special category as of now, and the same officers may be replaced by officers/officials of any other stream. Hence, finding a substitute for the officers will not be a difficult task.

DIR ( HR) was not positive about our request, and AIBSNLEA will pursue the matter again for a positive outcome.
