Allotment Of Funds to Circle Staff Welfare Board

Staff Welfare

The annual grant to Circle Staff Welfare Boards for carrying out

the welfare activities will henceforth (start now) be governed by

the following principles:

1. The Funds will be allocated to the Circle Staff Welfare Board

on pro-rata (Proportionate) basis. If the total budgetary

allocation for carrying out the Welfare activities in a financial

year is Rs.10 Corers the funds to the Circle Staff Welfare

Boards will be allocated on the basis of the staff strength in the

particular Circle.

• For example a Circle having the staff strength of 20,000

(out of total staff strength of BSNL say 4,00,000) will get

the annual welfare grant to the tune of

10X20000/400000 i.e. Rs.50, 00,000 for that year.



Staff Welfare


Staff Welfare

2. The Circle will have to managed within the annual

grant for that particular year and no further grant will

be sanctioned.

3. 25% of the amount sanctioned to each Circle will be

given to them in May as ad-hoc grant. Remaining

75% grant will be given only after receipt of the

audited account of the previous financial year.


4. The Presidents of Circle Staff Welfare Boards can

utilize at their discretion up to 15% of the grant

allocated to them in the financial year from BSNL

Staff Welfare Board on special cases or on requests

received by them, provided that this expenditure will

also be based on the general principles of expenditure

of fund such as grant of flood relief, educational

assistance and other philanthropic measures


Staff Welfare


Staff Welfare

5. In the balance 85% of the grant sanctioned the Circle

should earmark 35% for scholarship, 25% for Book

Award & incentive and 25% for rest of the welfare

activities.

6. In no circumstances the minimum eligibility criterion for

giving away the assistance form Welfare Fund, as

circulated by BSNL CO. can be relaxed by the Circle.

For example the Circle cannot reduce the norms for

Book Award from 75% to 70%.

7. Allotment of Fund to SSA: - It has been decided that

henceforth the welfare fund should be allotted to each

SSA proportionate to them staff strength by the Circle.


Staff Welfare

8. The president of the Circle Staff Welfare Boards can

however change the ratio prescribed above keeping in

view the total number of applications received by the

Circle. For example, if in a particular circle the

requirement of fund for scholarship is fulfilled in only

25% of the annual grant and more than prescribed

25% fund is required for Book Award & incentive

cases the funds earmarked(vishesh prayogan ke

liye) for scholarship can be diverted to the extent for

meeting the demand for Book Award & Incentive.

9. If a Circle finds that number of applicants in certain

category is more they can give Scholarship, Book Award

and incentive by raising the eligibility criterion so as to

manage with in the limit of grant for that particular

category. For example if a Circle has a limit to spend

Rs.10 Lacs on Book Award and as per then umber of

applications received the net requirement is Rs.15 Lacs

they can raise the eligibility criterion for giving Book

Award from 75% to say 80% so that the outlay on Book

Award is restricted to Rs.10 Lacs only.
