MT Spook likely to come alive - Kind attention members and representatives of AIGETOA
It is understood that some vested interest in BSNL top Management are once against trying to put forward the external recruitment of fresh candidates as MT. BSNL has already recruited professionally qualified candidates at executives level in the name of JTO/JAO, they must be groomed and deserve promotion to top management post. There is no justification for any other external recruitment of fresh candidates. Some vested interest in BSNL have hide this fact that BSNL has already recruited professionally qualified candidates at executives level just to justify the deputation of ITS officers and now MT recruitment is nothing but just the consequential effect of the same.
Just imagine the situation when one similar qualified young candidate having "zero experience" will be recruited as MT and posted over us having more than 12 years of service experience. This will not only create ludicrous situation for us but also disaster for the company. This association has single stand that, there is no justification for recruitment of fresh candidates at two executive levels.
This is to admonish such vested interest that this association has so far endowed a lot in this fight and committed till the last drop of hemic. All the branch representatives and members are appealed to start massive campaigning among the executives and get them ready for gathering at BSNL CO in short notice. Remember this association has already conveyed to DOT and Hon'ble Minister about such vested interest in BSNL and now it require to bundle our voice which is only possible through mass protest/unrest.

The meeting lasted for around 15-20 minutes.
Shri Jagdambika Pal initially briefed the Hon’ble Minister about the direct recruits and about the problems and hardships faced by us in our entire career of BSNL. Shri Pal told minister that this is the group which will play a key role in the revival of BSNL but unfortunately they have been marginalized by BSNL management. Hon’ble MoC then asked us to explain the issues in detail. The meeting was quite interactive with minister asking for several inputs in regard to the issues. Minister asked us whether the group belongs to Indian Telecom Service. We apprised the minister that we were recruited after formation of BSNL and till then we have been manning all the important services of BSNL. Minister also asked us when the first recruitment took place and how many batches have been recruited till date. In the brief time which was made available to us, our team apprised the hon’ble minister about the burning issues of Pay scale, Pay Parity, Superannuation benefits and lack of promotional avenues for the direct recruits. We were able to explain to the minister that BSNL is not having any dearth of talent and the need is to have a proactive management which can utilize the potential to its fullest.
Hon’ble minister asked for our view on the revival of BSNL. We expressed our belief in the government and its policies and assured hon’ble minister that whatever decisions government will take for the wellbeing and revival of BSNL, the Direct recruits of BSNL will give its hundred percent and they are willing to go to any extent to revive the BSNL.
Finally, Hon’ble MOC told that he has taken note of the issues and will definitely do the needful after going through the representation submitted by us, in the, meanwhile every one of us should be ready to take extra efforts for reviving BSNL. We assured minister for the same.
Dear friends, we have once again taken our issues to the highest level and we definitely hope for a positive outcome. However in the mean time we should be equally concerned with our responsibilities and expectations of the government from the young and the most dynamic group of BSNL. Each one of should make it a habit to analyze his output every day and should ponder on whether he has been able to justifying his salary. Each one of should target for delivering at least two hundred percent of his potential. With this thought in mind there are no reasons why BSNL will lag behind.
In the meanwhile, we express our deepest and sincere gratitude for Hon’ble MP Shri Jagdambika Pal ji who since one year has been standing for the cause of BSNL and the direct recruits in particular. Yesterday also he apprised the Hon’ble Minister about the prevailing scenario in BSNL and the reasons for its downfall. We are very much sure that his efforts will yield fruit and definitely BSNL as well as the Direct Recruits will get its due with his blessings and his tireless efforts.

We are very much sure that his efforts will yield fruit and definitely BSNL as well as the Direct Recruits will get its due with his blessings and his tireless efforts. We convey our heartfelt thanks to the hon’ble MP for the kindness and the caring attitude towards the direct recruits.

MEETING WITH GM (ESTT.) TO DISCUSS THE ISSUES OF PAYSCALES AND THE ONGOING DEPUTATION ISSUE:
VP AIGETOA Shri Mantosh kumar, CWC Member Delhi Circle AIGETOA, Shri Shubhendu Sharma along with GS AIBSNLEA, Shri Prahlad Rai met with GM (Estt.) to discuss the issues of payscales and the ongoing deputation issue.
As regard to the Pay scale issue, as the matter has been referred again to the committee constituted earlier in view of the denial of intermediary scales by DPE, Association side wanted to know the status of the deliberation of the committee. It was informed by GM establishment that the meeting is scheduled for next week to discuss the matter. Association side apprised GM establishment of the continued frustration of the executives and requested for an early settlement.
In regard to the transfer issue of JTOs, GM (Estt.) assured that genuine cases of i.e. spouse, medical cases may be considered for further extension based on the merit. Association pointed out that, if timeline is followed in case of deputation, the same should be extended to Rule-8 cases also as more than 1500 Rule- 8 cases are still pending all over India and officers are waiting for more than 12 years for the rotation of place/profile.
GM (Estt.) was of the impression that almost 80% cases of inter-circle transfers (Rule-8) are settled and for example he quoted that there is no pending Rule-8 case in Gujarat Telecom Circle till May, 2014. Association side pleaded that ground realty is just opposite to the impression and submitted that there are few circles i.e. Assam, Punjab, and West Bengal Telecom Circle where most of the Rule-8 applications are pending. Making the situation hostile, SSA heads are not even forwarding Rule-8 applications for further disposal in view of long queue.
GM (Estt.) has said that association should come with the data after 7th October, 2014 and he assured to look into the matter and take up with CGMs of concerned circle.

GS submitted the concern of AIGETOA on the issue of HR integration of BSNL and MTNL. Click here for letter
Our main concern are :
Our main concern are :
- Pay scale of all executives of BSNL must be upgraded at par with MTNL executives along with notional pay fixation on point to point basis from 01-10-2000. Deference amount must be paid to all BSNL executives as arrear.
- As absorbed executives/non-executives of BSNL and MTNL both are already covered under Central Government pension scheme, 30% superannuation benefit as ordered by DPE must be extended to all direct recruits executives/non-executives (who are not covered under government pension scheme) of BSNL and MTNL from Oct-2000.
- BSNL and MTNL both must formulate common executives promotion policy before merger in such a way that seniority and availability of post can be delinked and time bound functional promotion up to SG-JAG level can be extended to executives. This will not only end hundreds of litigation on seniority issues already exist or likely to exist on merger of BSNL and MTNL but also fulfill the commitment made to the executives in terms of absorption condition.

We are working in Government Company and serving various social obligations rather doing purely commercial business. Apart from this, we all are human being and supposed to have feeling of the pain of such fateful families. Decision on such cases must have been taken fast and out of turn but it is regret to mention that there are number of such cases lying pending since long with the corporate office High Power Committee to take decision upon which shows the level of sensitivity towards such pain. This is not only depriving the family of deceased but also challenging the loyalty of the working employees of BSNL.

GS AIGETOA writes to GS SNEA (I) in respect of their ongoing agitation and requested to appeal all executives associations of BSNL to further intensify the agitation program. Click here for letter
Authorities were in process to resolution of our very basic issues in respect of pay scale and superannuation benefits but due to the stand alone notice served by SNEA (I) same is lingered. We all must know that when referendum process of executives association is in place it is almost impossible to take decision under pressure of agitation notice by any single association participating in referendum process. Tentative dates for further intensifying the agitation program as declared in the website of SNEA (I) indicates that this agitation is just to stop the resolution of the issues till the referendum. This association hopes that executives association must be keen towards resolution of the issues on merit rather political stunt to attract the favor of Direct Recruits Executives in referendum.

Message from General Secretary
Dear Direct Recruits Executives of BSNL,
All of you are well aware of the mission and vision of your association i.e. AIGETOA. Still it is felt that there are some questions in the mind of general members. The foremost question amongst them is that “what are the achievements for direct recruits so far through this platform”? This question was doing the rounds in my mind also for quite some time. Let us try to find the answer for the same.
This association was formed in Nov-2005 with some visionary directs recruits amongst us with the vision and mission to represent the issues of direct recruits as our service conditions were very different from majority of the executives in various aspects. Whether and to what extent have we been successful? Just go through the facts mentioned herein and you will find your own answers.
Dear direct recruit colleagues, you just decide how long we shall fight individually, in small groups, event and issue selected participation etc. when our vision and mission are same. Let us come together all at a time and give strength to your own association so that ice can be broken. It is justified to show your anger to any individual leaders of AIGETOA but it is highly unjustified to show anger with your own association. Remove the leaders who are using this association to satisfy their vested interest and personal aspiration but don’t finish this platform which is meant for your welfare.
This association while maintaining its identity, has decided to jointly fight for the issues of executives. Let us come together and show the power of unity so that we can be identified as king makers. Some of our issues are different than basic membership of AIBSNLEA but they are not contradictory, hence we have come together. If AIBSNLEA wins the forthcoming referendum process and became the largest executives association in BSNL, it will certainly give additional strength to AIGETOA.
SURVIVAL OF ANY ASSOCIATION IS POSSIBLE ONLY WITH RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP, COMMITTED MEMBERSHIP AND THEIR REGULAR SUBSCRIPTION. LET US START WITH SOME BASIC WORK OF ASSOCIATION TO BUILD THE SYSTEM SO THAT WE CAN WORK EFFICIENTLY.
Important Work to be Performed in Time Bound Frame :
All Circle Secretaries must prepare membership register of their Circle in the attached format and send the soft copy to [email protected] along with hard copy singed by CS to before 25th July-2014. Click here for format
All Circle Secretaries must get the AIGETOA Circle account audited up to financial year 2013-14. They must send the copy of audit report for last three financial years and send one hard copy before 25th July-2014.
All individual direct recruits’ executives must again fill the membership application form attached herewith and submit the same to district secretary of their area. (Payment detail of membership fee may be kept blank for existing members). Click here for membership form (in doc) & Click here for membership form (in pdf)
Members must deposit the subscription fee for the period of Aug-14 to March-15 in advance through DD/Pay Order/Cheque/internet etc in favour of AIGETOA CHQ (Axis Bank A/c No. 007010100808101) and same must be filled in application form. District Secretaries must collect the duly field application form along with subscription fee from Aug-14 to Mar-15 from every individual of direct recruits. This work must be done before 31st July-14.
Subscription fee must be deposited directly to AIGETOA CHQ account through DD/Pay Order/Cheque/internet etc. the account detail of AIGETOA CHQ is as under:

Dear Direct Recruits Executives of BSNL,
All of you are well aware of the mission and vision of your association i.e. AIGETOA. Still it is felt that there are some questions in the mind of general members. The foremost question amongst them is that “what are the achievements for direct recruits so far through this platform”? This question was doing the rounds in my mind also for quite some time. Let us try to find the answer for the same.
This association was formed in Nov-2005 with some visionary directs recruits amongst us with the vision and mission to represent the issues of direct recruits as our service conditions were very different from majority of the executives in various aspects. Whether and to what extent have we been successful? Just go through the facts mentioned herein and you will find your own answers.
- First achievement of AIGETOA was the stipend arrear of about Rs 14000 against revised IDA pay scale which all the 2001 and 2002 batch colleagues were paid. This was very meager amount as far as the volume is concerned but other association were not even aware about this issue due to lack of concern as their basic members were not benefitted out of it.
- Second achievement was the EPF contribution on full Basic+DA and resolution of various EPF anomalies for all direct recruits. Despite of clear order, most of the field units had restricted the EPF contribution on Rs 6500/- and that too with several anomalies. This issue had been raised by some individual direct recruits on the platform of other associations but was remain unaddressed. AIGETOA gave a platform to raise this issue collectively and finally most of the issues have been resolved. Most of the anomalies in maintaining EPF account are also resolved. This is the greatest achievement of this association else our social and future security was in danger. We are very much sure that we shall be able to resolve the remaining anomalies also with your support.
- Third achievement was 30% fitment to 2005 batch colleague. We do agree that there had been several efforts from other fronts also but initiation and raising the issue up to the level from where issue gets resolved was only possible due to existence of this association. If you go through the documents pertaining to the resolution of these issues, you will get the answer that AIGETOA was the root cause of getting this issue resolved.
- Retention of unjustified transfer in LDCE-2007 and conduction of LDCE-2014, bonus marks against wrong answers, declaration of result, overnight posting and retention of most of the candidates against unjustified transfer was only possible due to the existence of AIGETOA.
- About 1600 LDCE vacancies were diverted from LDCE quota to seniority quota which was restored only because of AIGETOA.
- Stopping of external MT till date and appearing in DGM exam to show our talent was only possible due to existence of this association. If external MT would have come, we would have lost our status of direct recruit executives.
- Management had made all the preparations for reverting some of our colleagues who got promoted citing court cases and judgments but it was the efforts of AIGETOA only which prevented management from doing this. There are various other achievement of AIGETOA which cannot be ignored like, execution of Rule-8 transfer, E1+5 as an interim benefits etc.
- 30% superannuation benefit, Pay parity, E2/E3 pay scale for JTO/SDE equivalent, CPSE cadre hierarchy, uniform time bound upgradation in four years etc. are some of the issue which we could not be achieved so far but these issues have already been raised by this association up to an extent from where achievement is the only destination. We do agree that resolution of these issues have taken time beyond our expectation but Come what way nobody can stop us before reaching to destination of resolution. We are fully committed to resolve these issues and we will leave no stone unturned for the same.
- The biggest achievement of AIGETOA is that it made us aware of our dues, our rights, our facilities. It was the deep study by our group which apprised each and every member about the injustices that are being met out to the Direct Recruits. It is the achievement of AIGETOA to prevent the management and other groups from making the direct recruits as sacrificial lambs. It is the achievement of AIGETOA that nobody dares to touch us. It is the achievement of AIGETOA that policies are being framed keeping DRs in mind. It is the achievement of AIGETOA that even other associations considers us as their most important assets.
- Last but not least, AIGETOA has given you the platform where we all qualified executives unite together and serve the nation maintaining self dignity and pride.
Dear direct recruit colleagues, you just decide how long we shall fight individually, in small groups, event and issue selected participation etc. when our vision and mission are same. Let us come together all at a time and give strength to your own association so that ice can be broken. It is justified to show your anger to any individual leaders of AIGETOA but it is highly unjustified to show anger with your own association. Remove the leaders who are using this association to satisfy their vested interest and personal aspiration but don’t finish this platform which is meant for your welfare.
This association while maintaining its identity, has decided to jointly fight for the issues of executives. Let us come together and show the power of unity so that we can be identified as king makers. Some of our issues are different than basic membership of AIBSNLEA but they are not contradictory, hence we have come together. If AIBSNLEA wins the forthcoming referendum process and became the largest executives association in BSNL, it will certainly give additional strength to AIGETOA.
SURVIVAL OF ANY ASSOCIATION IS POSSIBLE ONLY WITH RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP, COMMITTED MEMBERSHIP AND THEIR REGULAR SUBSCRIPTION. LET US START WITH SOME BASIC WORK OF ASSOCIATION TO BUILD THE SYSTEM SO THAT WE CAN WORK EFFICIENTLY.
