17 th    April 2009Meeting with DIR(HRD), BSNL.

GS, SNEA & AIBSNLEA along with other office bearers met DIR(HRD) and discussed

a)        Non finalization of R/R for STS equivalent and above (Group A R/R):- We strongly protested against the non finalization of the R/R in the Board meeting held yesterday even though it was placed before it two months back on 26/02/2009. If the Management was serious on the matter, it would have definitely cleared in this Board meeting. We clearly told the Management that further delay is not acceptable to us as the agreement was reached almost one year back on this issue and the entire Executives are waiting for almost nine years of formation of BSNL for this R/R for their regular promotion. We also made it clear that we will not accept any proposal in the name of BCG on the already agreed HR issues. DIR(HRD) informed that the Govt. nominees in the Board made some suggestions and sought some more details which has to be further discussed in the Board meeting. He assured that the R/R will be finalized in the next Board meeting itself as assured to us and he will take full efforts for the same. Since CMD, BSNL was out of station we could not meet him on this serious development.

b)        Implementation of additional DA of 9.4% for fixation of pay as per the DPE order dated 02-04-2009: We strongly pleaded for the implementation of the Govt. decision taken on the IDA for pay fixation w.e.f 01-01-2007 based on the recommendations of Group of Ministers (The GoM formed after the strike by the Oil Sector Officers Association). For pay fixation DA has to be taken as 78.2% instead of 68.8% as per the revised order. DIR(HRD) informed that the profit of BSNL also has to be taken into account as it is having financial implications. Since it is a Govt. decision applicable to all CPSUs for pay fixation, BSNL is having no other option, but to implement the same, we informed the Management.

We will chalk out our future course of action on both the issues after meeting CMD also in this regard.

 c)         Transfer and postings in the cadre of SDE/DE etc. The pending request transfer cases in different cadres also discussed and the personnel section is issuing a consolidated list of transfer orders.

16 th    April 2009FINALIZATION OF RECT. RULES FOR STS EQUIVALENT AND ABOVE (GROUP A R/R): The BSNL full board meeting held on 16/04/2009 not finalised the R/R.

3rd    April 2009Heartiest Congratulations. Struggle launched by the Forum in Defence of CPSUs has met with a superb success by getting the dismissal orders of two officers of ONGC converted in to suspension and revoking the suspension orders of 10 officers of Indian Oil Corporation . This has been entirely possible due to the sustained struggle of officers of all CPSUS under the banner of Forum in Defence of CPSUs. The Forum vows to fight to the last till all the victimisation actions are fully revoked by the Govt and Forum stands committed to continue its struggle in future to safeguard and protect the growth of CPSUs. Once again we whole heartedly congratulate all the officers of all CPSUs who participated in the recent organisational programmes of protest actions demanding revocation of dismissal/suspension order of Officers of Oil Sector. Oil Sector Officers were victimised for launching their protest against non-implementation of the recommendations of Justice N.J.Rao Committee and its dilution by the Group of Secretaries. It would not be an exaggeration to mention that the additional DA neutralisation for the purpose of fixation as on 01-01-2007 and allowances from 26-11-2008 issued vide DPE order No. 2(70)/08-DPE(WC)-GL-VII/09 dated 02-04-2009 is only because of the struggle launched by the Officers of Oil and Power Sector, as a result of which a committee of Group of Ministers under the Chairmanship of Hon Home Minister  Shri. P.Chidambaram was constituted. This committee decided for the additional 9.4% DA for neutralisation and subsequently which was accepted by the Central Cabinet. The Forum in Defence of CPSUs will fight to the last of its blood to ensure that not a single officer of the Oil Sector is left victimised.

2nd    April 2009Employees Provident Fund (EPF) scheme to JTOs recruited in the year 2007 and completed their training: The JTOs of 2007 batch has to carefully exercise the option for EPF. Some important points are given below for your guidance. Each employee (JTO) has to give a

1)    Joined declaration signed by the employer as well as the employee has to be submitted to the EPF authorities as the contribution is done without the statutory ceiling of Rs. 6500/-.

2)    There is an option for the employee to opt for minimum pension scheme or Full pension scheme. Each employee has to exercise this option carefully as in minimum pension scheme, employee will get only a small amount as pension where as in full pension scheme the employee will get very good pension as good as Govt. pension and a good amount as provident fund contributed by the employer in addition to the employees contribution. An amount equivalent to 12% of emoluments (basic +IDA) will be deducted from the salary as the employees contribution towards provident fund. BSNL will contribute 13.61% of emoluments to EPF of which 8.33% will go to pension fund and 3.67% will go to the provident fund account. In minimum pension scheme employee will get a very good amount as PF at the time of retirement. So those who are interested in bulk amount as retirement benefit, they can opt for minimum pension scheme and those who are interested in good pension they can opt for full pension. Even in full pension scheme there is a provision for commutation of pension (85%). For further guidance you may contact the SSA/Branch Secretaries. SSA/Branch secretaries are requested to give proper guidance to all the new JTOs and see that they are exercising the option correctly.

2nd    April 2009CEILING ON GRATUITY: As recommended by the 2nd Pay Panel, Govt. enhanced the ceiling on gratuity to 10 lakhs and DPE issued the orders on 26-11-2008. The file in this regard send by DoT to Dept. of Pension was cleared by DoP. Now DoT will issue suitable directions to all the DoT cells enhancing the ceiling to 10 lakh. It is also learned that DoP approved it w.e.f 01-01-2006 onwards.
