PAY REVISION FOR BSNL EXECUTIVES

Being an Association of the pensioners, we

also do have a stake in the revision of the

pay scales of the CPSE Executives - more

precisely of the revision of pay scales of the

BSNL Executives. We know that absorbed

BSNL pensioners/ family pensioners will get

their revision of pension only when the pay

revision of the serving BSNL employees

takes place. The fitment benefit both for

pay scales revision and pension revision

and date of their effect are to be the same.

At least, unlike some knowledgeable

persons, we know that as per the settled

law of the land based on various Court

Judgments, there cannot be any disparity

between pension drawn by the past

pensioners and future pensioners. That is

why the pension is revised whenever there

is pay revision of serving employees. BSNL

Pensioners/ family pensioners, therefore,

will get pension revision only when there is

pay revision for the serving BSNL

employees, which is due on 1.1.2017. ‘No

disparity’ means that a past pensioner

should not get less pension than a future

pensioner. Similarly, a future pensioner

must not get less pension than a past

pensioner.

We all know that Department of Public

Enterprises has issued the much awaited

OM notifying the revised pay scales for the

CPSE executives. Now it is left to BSNL and

DOT to get the same implemented for the

BSNL Executives. Yes, there is a rider in the

shape of an “affordability” condition in the

OM which virtually gives an option to the

CPSEs and their administrative Ministries to

choose the fitment benefit in new scales

from three alternatives of 15%, 10% or 5%

as in the OM or even defer the pay scale

revision. But given the strategic position of

BSNL in implementing the policies of the

Government to meet its social obligations

which are mostly not remunerative and also

on other grounds, the affordability clause is

not actually a threat for revision of pay

scales with 15% fitment benefit. During last

pay revision w.e.f 01.01.2007, even in

MTNL, which was a chronic loss-making

CPSE for years, the pay revision was

allowed with maximum recommended

fitment benefit of 30%. The affordability

clause existed then too. Moreover,

Government had decided while allowing

payment of pension by the Government to

the MTNL employees that the pay of the

MTNL employees would be brought at par

with BSNL employees in next pay revision.

This cannot be achieved without revising

the pay scales of BSNL executives, since

MTNL Executives are already drawing one

stage higher pay scales than those drawn by

the BSNL Executives. Further, BSNL

2

administration has already assured on

number of occasions and even written to

DOT in favour of revision of pay scales of

BSNL Executives as per 3rd PRC

recommendations. The Ministry is also

reported to be inclined to agree to this.

Now it is said that an Internal Committee of

senior BSNL Officers, which was constituted

to examine and propose pay scale revision,

has already completed its assigned task.

The proposal is first to go to the

Management Committee of BSNL for

approval. Thereafter, this will be examined

by one “Remuneration Committee” of BSNL

and then the same will be put up before the

BSNL Board for according approval to send

the same to DOT for final approval. This

may not be a long drawn process provided

no unnecessary hurdles are created. Till

then we have no option but to keep our

fingers crossed. Once the issue becomes

ripe we shall certainly ask DOT to take every

step to issue pay revision and pension

revision Orders simultaneously.

FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION

We earlier made a request through our website to our members and well-wishers to contribute

liberally and at least Rs.500 each to help us in our effort to get the injustice meted out to the

absorbed BSNL pensioners and even those still in service, in the matter of fixation of

pay/pension with fitment benefit by merger of 78.2% IDA w.e.f. 01.01.2007, removed. But even

before we gave this call, some members volunteered to donate some amount on receiving their

revised pension arrears which we have kept separately in our Account. This amount is kept in

Reserve Fund and is intended to be used for holding the next AIC when due. Meanwhile,

contributions have come from some individuals and Branches for the Fund for which we made

the request. We have been informed that many branches are in the process of collecting the

donations. We request these branches to deposit the amount collected so far in our S/B

Account and continue their efforts to reach other members for further collections. Names and

last designation of the contributors should also be mailed to us without delay. Individuals can,

as usual, contribute directly, communicating the details of payment with their name, last

designation and postal address. We first uploaded two separate lists of the contributors as on

15.08.2017 – one for those who contributed on receiving their revised pension arrears (LIST 1)

and the other who contributed for seeking legal remedy in the matter of denial of the just

benefits out of fixation of pay/pension with fitment benefit by merger of 78.2% IDA (LIST 2).

Thereafter, we have uploaded in this website for the information of the members. We once

again request the Branches/Members/Well-wishers to expedite remitting contribution. View

ISSUE OF REVISED PENSION PAYMENT ORDERS BY THE OFFICE OF PRINCIPAL CCA, MAHARASHTRA

AIBSNLREA had mailed three lists on different dates, containing a total of 113 cases given by the affected pensioners who did not receive their revised PPOs, to the office of Principal CCA Maharashtra, Mumbai. It is now reported that most of these cases have been solved and rest are in pipeline. Thus active persuasion by the Association could help the pensioners, whose revised PPOs were to be issued by the office of Principal CCA, Maharashtra, to get their revised PPOs and payment.

GOVERNMENT AND BSNL ORDERS

DPE FINALLY ISSUES ORDERS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF GOVERNMENT DECISIONS ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE THIRD PAY REVISION COMMITTEE: DPE has finally issued orders for implementation of Government decisions on the recommendations of the Third Pay Revision Committee on Pay revision of Board level & below Board level Executives and Non-unionised Supervisors of Central Public Sector Enterprises w.e.f. 1.1.2017. Government has not made any major changes in the recommendations, including regarding Affordability and 5%, 10% and 15% fitment for different categories of CPSEs. Now it is to be seen as to how BSNL pushes forward its case for pay revision with 15% fitment for its Executives, since BSNL does not fall into any of the three categories and also is not a sick CPSE. It is to be recalled that MTNL Executives were given 30% fitment benefit in the Second Pay Revision w.e.f. 1.1.2007, despite the fact that MTNL was incurring consecutive losses for several years before.

BSNL RESPONDS TO THE REPRESENTATION OF AIBSNLREA REGARDING CHARGING OF STD CALLS WRONGLY IN FREE NIGHT CALLING FACILITY WHICH WAS ALLOWED TO THE RETIRED BSNL EMPLOYEES – NOW SETS THE ISSUE RIGHT: AIBSNLREA had earlier represented to BSNL regarding the difficulties faced by the retired employees of BSNL in regard to availing the Free Night Calling facility in their residential telephone connections since the Circles started charging the STD calls made at night, although previously free (STD/local) calls were allowed in any network at any time during day and night within the prescribed limit. The Association had pleaded that 'free night calling' facility should include STD calls. [View posting dated 09.07.2017 in this website to read the representation].

BRANCHES IN ACTION

COIMABATORE BRANCH OF AIBSNLREA HOLDS A SPECIAL MEETING: A special meeting

organized by the All India BSNL Retired Executives Association of Coimbatore, Tamilnadu was

held under the Presidentship of Shri M. Ponnuswami, DGM (Retired) on 19th August, 2017. In his

Presidential address, Shri M. Ponnuswami spoke about the inauguration of AIBSNLREA at

Coimbatore and its necessity and welcomed Sri. S. Ratnasubramanian, DGM (Retired) & Asst.

General Secretary of AIBSNLREA and Shri R. R. Balasubramanian from Chennai. Shri R.

Damodaran, Branch Secretary welcomed the gathering. He listed the issues relating to the

retired executives of Coimbatore viz. Pay protection for the local officiating prior to the

notification of Executive Promotion Policy on 18-1-2007, 3% increment cases of 58 executives

and their pension revision, Refund of wrongful/excess recovery and the orders of DoT rescinding

the provision in EPP for one increment on Regular promotion in the same scale and its effect on

retired executives.

Shri R.R.Balasubramanian, in his speech lauded the activities of Coimbatore AIBSNLREA branch

and explained the present status of issues like, refund of excess/wrong recovery, protection of

pay of those who were officiating prior to issue of EPP, cases of enhancement of DCRG and

restoration of without voucher facility. He explained as to how the orders issued by the DOT

rescinding a para in EPP is defective and unwarranted. He said that DoT was still issuing orders of

promotion from Sr.AO to ACAO, both carrying same scale of pay, allowing the benefit of second

pay fixation. He said that BSNL has so far not endorsed the DoT orders and we expect that BSNL

will request DoT to review its orders. In his elaborate speech Shri S. Ratnasubramanian AGS,

covered all issues related to BSNL Pensioners, which included 78.2 fitment benefit, the basics for

pension revision and implementation of 3rd PRC. He explained that BSNL cannot be denied pay

revision with 15% fitment benefit as the loss making MTNL got 30% fitment benefit in the 2nd

PRC. He explained how 78.2%, the benefit of 50% DA merger came to light and there is no

justification to deny the arrears from 1-1-2007 treating it as notional. AIBSNLREA is in the process

of filing a case to get the arrears with fixation on actual basis. He appealed to all Executives to

contribute towards the legal expenses to be incurred. He explained why pension revision with

VII CPC fitment formula is not practicable since according to Supreme Court judgment in famous

D S Nakara case, there cannot be disparity in pension between present and future pensioners.

He then replied to the doubts raised by the participants.

The meeting started at 1545 hours and ended at 1830 hours with vote of thanks by Shri K.

Sivakumaran, Asst. Branch Secretary. 17 Out of 27 members of Coimbatore Branch 7 other retired
