DAK Management portal at CO BSNL Mumbai
BSNL CO Mumbai has issued the instructions for effective implementation
of DAK management in Circle Office Mumbai. This system is already
implemented in ITPC Pune. This System is developed by ITPC Pune for
speedy disposal and distribution and tracking of DAK. The results were
monitored and proved satisfactory. Hence CGMT Maharashtra Circle has
also accord the approval for implementation of this system at circle
office. This is a good step taken by the white Goliath towards E-
governance. We AIBSNLEA MH was continuously demanding that for
transparency E governance in administration is very much essential. All
transfer application their registration and their disposal must be
available at single click similarly all types of permissions, claims and
all HR related things must be on finger tips. We appreciate the efforts
and expect the same also be implemented up to SSA level also.

United Forum of BSNL
Executives' Associations comprising AIBSNLEA AND AIGETOA served
agitation notice against breach of commitment and assurances given by
In spite of BSNL
Management's firm commitment and assurance given vide letter No. BSNL/7-3/SR/2015
dated 14.12.2015, BSNL Management has not taken any concrete action for
settlement of the long pending genuine demands, United Forum of AIBSNLEA
& AIGETOA had several informal and formal meetings with the GM (Pers.),
GM (Estt), Director (HR) and CMD BSNL but the issues could not be
resolved due to the total negative attitude of the Establishment and
Pers. Cell of BSNL CO. In all the meetings CMD BSNL and Director (HR)
have appreciated our concern and assured positive action but due to the
negative approach of Estt. and Pers. Cell, majority of the issues could
not be resolved. Recently on 26.4.2016 in the meeting held with
Director (HR) it was pleaded by all the Executive Associations to
implement Khan Committee report first by replacing E1 A by E2 and E2 A
by E3 IDA Pay sales which was appreciated by Director (HR) but the GM (Estt)
continued to plead that before implementation of Khan Committee report
on E2 and E3 IDA Pay scales, it should be ensured that one SDE
equivalent executive having E3 Pay scales will get his next financial up
gradation as Sr. SDE in the same pay sale of E3 only. Which AIBSNLEA and
AIGETOA strongly protested and categorically demanded the next
subsequent time bound promotion in the higher grade E4 should be there
only as per the provisions of EPP wherein it is clearly envisaged that
"first time bound financial up gradation during 4-6 years and subsequent
time bound financial up gradations after every 5 years only". Hence,
after E3 pay scale the next time bound up gradation after 5 years should
be there in the higher pay scale of E4 only. We can't accept E3 scale
for 10 years for SDE and Sr. SDE without any pay fixation benefit.
Whereas, our sister Association told that they will be happy in case (SDE)
E3 to (Sr. SDE) E4 up gradation is given after 5 years otherwise they
will also be happy to have E3 IDA Pay scale for SDE and Sr. SDE. This
approach is strengthening the pleading of GM (Estt) which will finally
put executives in loss.
Similarly, CPSU cadre
hierarchy implementation is being dragged by Pers. Cell on the pretext
of MT recruitment and on that basis they are framing a Promotion Policy
which is against the recommendations of Khan Committee. The MT
recruitment is being supported by our sister Association which is also
strengthening the views of Pers. Cell and will finally block the carrier
progression of BSNL's young executives in the same manner which we
seniors have suffered in DOT due to JTS recruitment rules wherein a JTO
use to retire as Adhoc DE only.
Hence, accepting E3 scale
for SDE and Sr. SDE will put one executive in one scale E3 for 10 years
contrary to the provisions of EPP and it will effect 3rd PRC
implementation also. Our sister Association should understand that
instead of strengthening the pleadings of Estt. Cell and Pers. Cell,
they should safeguard the interest of executives in true sense. Their
efforts in the past also were always to derail the process by giving
agitation call on vital issues and withdrawing without any concrete
results. In real sense they are playing with the future of young JTOs/JAOs
by putting them in E3 scale for 10 years and introducing MT in DE
grade. Majority of young executives of all disciplines belongs to
AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA and they have full trust and confidence in these
associations. In true sense these Associations are only safeguarding
the interest of all executives of BSNL.
United Forum has demanded
each financial up gradation on completion of 5 years of service in each
grade as recommended by Khan Committee i.e. E2->E3->E4->E5->E6->E7 etc.
The Sr. SDE grade is a non-functional grade which comes in between SDE
and DE promotions. In case the Sr. SDE non-functional grade is
abolished it will give faster functional promotion to (JTO) E2 à (SDE)
E3à (DE) E4 within 10 years of service which otherwise one executives is
getting after 15 years. Earlier days at the time of formation of BSNL in
DOT set up Sr. SDE/Sr. AO were the functional grades and in BSNL also
before implementation of EPP the Sr. SDE designation was given but after
the EPP implementation the Sr. SDE designation on time bound promotion
in E3 grade is not given. Hence, in case the non-functional grade of
Sr. SDE is abolished it will pave the fast track promotion to young
executives. In case, if it continues to exist, in that situation all
time bound promotions should be available after each 5 years in the
scales E2 to E3, E3 to E4, E4 to E5, E5 to E6 and E6 to E7.
If the Khan Committee
recommendations are implemented in its true spirit, the pay protection
has to be given to all the seniors who have already been given the time
bound and post based promotion at the time of replacement of E1 A by E2,
E2A by E3 IDA pay scales w.e.f. 1.1.2007. Some cascading effect will
always be there but does not mean that executives should be deprived
from their legitimate Pay scales.
The 30% superannuation
benefit has to be implemented with minimum contribution of 6% from
employer instead of 3% as assured by BSNL management on earlier
meetings. Resolution of the following other long pending HR issues
needs urgent necessary action for:
A. Immediate
conduction of various CPCs in all the disciplines to fill up the vacant
group-A and Group B equivalent posts in a time bound manner, notional
pay fixation of all upgraded pay-scales w.e.f. 01.10.2000, one time
relaxation to Steno Grade-III for their promotion to PA cadre,
settlement of Pay Anomaly cases where junior executives are drawing more
pay than senior executives, special recruitment drive for hard
tenure/shortfall circles, FR 22(I)a(i) pay fixation to officiating JTOs,
restructuring of AD (OL) cadres, finalization of new SDE RR 2014 in line
with association suggestions, Diversion of 50% MT quota CAO Posts to the
Seniority Quota etc.
B. Declaration
of LDCE results, Settlement of Rule-8 transfer cases, Pay loss to JTOs/JAOs
recruited after 01.01.2007 and fixation of pay in respect of
departmental outsider (TTA) appointed as JTOs, extension of E1+ 5
advance increment benefits to JTO (SRD)/JAO 2013 batch and PA Cadre and
other long pending HR issues submitted earlier.
AIBSNLEA has been demanding
immediate conduction of Membership verification but due to Hon'ble High
Court Karnataka stay order it is delayed. However, AIBSNLEA is ready to
face referendum at any point of time.
All these issues needs
immediate settlement as assured by BSNL management on the earlier
Let us, implement the
agitation call with its full strength, defeat the ulterior motives of
the vested interests and to get resolve the long pending issues for the
betterment of BSNL executives.
CO New Delhi issued instructions to all circle heads to use bio metric
attendance machine and compliance report is also sought from all
concern. This is as per the minutes of meeting of all HR heads of all
circle meet with Dir HR at Delhi on 25/4/2016.
Comrades this system is available in BSNL CO office New
Delhi but it seems to be unused and non operative.
In Pune also at MHS BHAVAN the machine was installed but
from all the concern the system was not make popular for one or other
Let us hope it should not be an another controversy in
procurement of these machines.

A regular DE of Sangli SSA was transferred and posted as DGM Adhoc at
Kolhapur. AIBSNLEA pointed out to circle administration that the officer
is senior and his junior is posted at Sangli so it is against the
policy. Both these officers are left with only 9 months of service. We
request BSNL CO Mumbai that for nine months we have to spent min. 2
lacks rupees on TA DA etc and it can be saved if this officer is
retained at sangli for rest period of 9 months. We also approached to
Sr. GM Sangli and expressed our views to Shri Ravikant Sir and
immediately Ravikant Sir also wrote a letter for retention of this
officer as being sincere and efficient officer. We thank CGMT MH Circle
, Sr GM (HR & A ) , DGM (HR) and last but not the least shri Ravikant
Sir for his immediate and prompt action for welfare of an executive as
well as attitude for saving BSNL money.

employee to refuse promotion. This is injustice with them. Looking after
promotion is an local stop gap arrangement and basically it is not

Mumbai issued promotion and posting order of 23 executives in cadre DE/AGM
as DGM (Adhoc). Out of 23 executives BSNL CO Mumbai tried to accommodate
the executives on as is, where is basis, except for Sangli and Latur SSA.
In both SSAs promoted officers are more than 3 in numbers. It was
expected that the seniors will be posted in same SSA and Juniors will be
shifted. Administration as usual kept space for ambiguity. Seniors are
shunted out and juniors are promoted and posted on the same place. Let
us take an example of Sangli SSA. In Sangli 3 officers are promoted as
DGM. Out of that the senior most officer Shri Vishnu Gholase is shifted to
Kolhapur and the Junior officer to him is kept at Sangli. Shri Gholase is
going to be retired in Jan 2017. Only nine months are left for
retirement. Sr. GM Sangli also written a request letter to CGMT
Maharashtra Circle for retention of Shri Gholase at Sangli. Now for the
left 9 months service BSNL has to pay TA/DA in lacks and as well as
after retirement again BSNL has to pay the home town returning amount.

and requested administration to promote the seniors on the same station.

State-run MTNL is working on a plan to operate its mobile
services business in Delhi and Mumbai in partnership with BSNL on a
revenue sharing basis. MTNL mulls mobile services with BSNL on revenue
sharing basis. State-run MTNL is working on a plan to operate its mobile
services business in Delhi and Mumbai in partnership with BSNL on a
revenue sharing basis. "We are having a very low market share in mobile
services and not in a position to make capital investment. We are in
discussions with BSNL that can invest in infrastructure and run our
mobile business on a revenue share basis," MTNL CMD N K Yadav told PTI
in an interview. As per latest TRAI report, MTNL had 36.23 lakh mobile
customers at the end of January 2016, accounting for 0.36 per cent of
total market share. He said the company has not been able to place the
mobile network expansion order for which Nokia Networks was selected due
to financial as well technical challenges. Sh. Yadav further said it
will have to depend on debt for expanding mobile network and the
interest that it will pay on procurement will not be in sync with the
income it will generate from the mobile business. "BSNL has high
negotiating power as their scale of operation is much larger compared to
MTNL. A high level committee at DoT is evaluating the way we can work in
sync with other. We are seeing if BSNL can operate MTNL mobile network
on a revenue share basis," Yadav said. When contacted, BSNL
Chairman and Managing Director Anupam
Shrivastava said BSNL is ready to invest and work with MTNL and
discussions in this context are going on. Sh.Yadav said the
spectrum payment of about Rs 11,000 crore by MTNL in 2010 disturbed its
balance sheet. "Besides principle, it (spectrum payment) increased
interest on debt raised by MTNL. We have huge interest which we have
been trying to lower by cutting cost and focusing on area where we are
strong like fixed line broadband," Yadav said. As per Trai report, MTNL
is the third largest player with 13.79 per cent market share in
fixed-line connections. MTNL is focusing on converting its landline only
users to broadband users, which it expects will increase average revenue
per user (ARPU), he said. "Out of about 35 lakh landline customers we
have, only 12 lakh are using broadband. We get ARPU of Rs 200 from voice
calls and ARPU of Rs 500 from broadband. We are targeting to convert 60
per cent of only telephone service users to come on broadband by
December," Yadav added.

This Day in
History (29-Mar-1857) – Sepoy Mangal Pandey shot the first bullet of
1857 Indian mutiny in the barracks of Barrackpur against British Empire
Mangal Pandey was part of the 6th
Company of the 34th Bengal Native Infantry and was a devout Hindu. In
1857, British officers decided to have a trial run of the newly acquired
cartridges with the 19th battalion at Barakpur near Kolkata. The
cartridges had the coating of cows' / pigs' fat. These cartridges had to
be bitten off in order to remove the cover prior use and this went
against the religious beliefs of the Muslims and Hindus. The general
opinion was that the Britishers had deliberately done this to hurt the
sentiments. the soldiers not only refused to use those cartridges but
they revolted against such an experiment. On that day, the British
officers did not react as they were outnumbered but they decided to call
in for reinforcements. British soldiers from Burma came in and disarmed
the soldiers of that battalion, humiliated them and threw them out.
Mangal Pandey was enraged at the
idea of the humiliation and on Sunday, 29th March 1857, he revolted. He
leapt into the parade ground and started inspiring the Indian soldiers
to fight against the injustice. Sargent Major Hudson ordered to catch
hold of him but not a single soldier moved. Hudson got hit with a bullet
fired by Mangal Pandey. On seeing this, Lieutenant Baugh came towards
Pandey riding on his horse but the bullet coming out of Mangal Pandey's
gun went through the horse and the horse collapsed along with the
Lieutenant. Before Mangal Pandey could re-load his gun, Baugh took out
his gun but Mangal Pandey took out his sword. Baugh fired at him but
Mangal Pandey dodged and overpowered Baugh with his sword. Hudson and
Baugh ran away.
In the meantime, a soldier
named Shaikh Paltu went towards Mangal Pandey and caught hold of Pandey
from behind. Pandey managed to shake him off. He also ran away fearing
for his life. Afterwards, General Hyeres came with many European

Progress is impossible without change; those who cannot change their

CMD, BSNL writes all the
Chief General Managers of the field units regarding the expectations of
Hon'ble MOC&IT from BSNL in the coming times. Hon'ble
MOC&IT while inaugurating a number of new services launched by BSNL on
17.03.2016 was very skeptical about the required publicity of popular
schemes already offered to both BSNL landline and mobile customers and
gave examples of even some Members of Parliament not being aware of
schemes like Night Time Free Calling from BSNL landline etc. Hon'ble MOC&IT
also reiterated the fact that mind-set, working and dealing with
customer methodology has to change in BSNL immediately and pressed for
punitive action against non-performing officers / officials. CMD has
especially quoted "
Progress is impossible without change, those who cannot change their
mind cannot change anything "

CO has issued revised reporting structure for JTO/SDE in Telecom
Operation stream in the back drop of acute shortage of manpower in
executive fraternity.
The mechanism is purely on
administrative expediency, wherever JTOs (not entrusted with looking
after arrangement) are proposed to be used in posts/roles
manned/assigned for SDEs, so as to meet the administrative needs &
shortage at crucial positions and by empowering those JTOs with
administrative and financial powers attached with the post subject to
the condition that the concerned executive is already placed in that
scale i.e. JTO in the scale of E2 and above. Under the arrangement,
wherever a JTO is used in place of SDE, i.e. hierarchy will begin from
that level itself giving shape to the reporting and reviewing structure
i.e. JTO reporting to AGM. However, in other cases, where the
availability allows placement of a JTO under SDE, there the existing
hierarchy shall continue. The arrangement has to be worked out in a
manner so as to involve minimal transfer/posting.
We were demanding since long back that
JTO will report to AGM directly and in Maharashtra Circle already this
scheme exists and while calculating the justified strength MH circle is
taking into consideration the strength of JTOs + SDEs.

All the

Com. K.A. Mohire, President AIBSNLEA MH
Circle in his welcome speech welcomed all the dignitaries on the dais.
He mentioned the AIBSNLEA has been formed by merging 10 DoT Recognized
Associations and is flourishing under the leadership of Com. Prahlad Rai.
Com. A.G. Joshi, C.S., AIBSNLEA MH Circle
in his opening remark mentioned that the AIBSNLEA is holding its CEC
First Time in Mumbai. He mentioned that all the HR issuing are being
taken up with the Sr. GM (HR & A) who is newly joined in the Circle and
is being settled amicably. He stated that the justice delayed is
justice denied and requested the Circle Administration to settle the
grievance without any delay. He appreciated the efforts of the G.S.,
CHQ in settling the grievances and supporting the Circle Body during the
time of crisis. He also mentioned that with the co-ordination of all
the Associations and Unions, SWAS (Service with a Smile) has been
started and is very effective.
Com. K.P. Nair, AGS, CHQ in his speech
mentioned that as and when Seniors Officers are joined, the Secretarial
Assistance should be immediately provided and in case of shortage, the
Personal Assistant / Personal Secretary of the subordinate officer
should be directed to work under the Senior office till a permanent
arrangement is made instead of asking someone other than the PA/PS to
carry out the works of the PA/PS. He also mentioned that in case of any
acute shortage of PA/PS, recruitment from the open market as per the
R.R. may be taken up with the Corporate Office. He also mentioned that
in the ERP as and when the PA is applying for leave and the controlling
officer is sanctioning it, sanction of leave is not possible without
entering the HRMS number of the PA/PS looking after the charge of the
PA/PS proceeding on leave. Since most of the officers are having only
one PA/PS, it is difficult to make looking after arrangements an
requested the ERP / IT team to take some alternative solution.
Com. C.M. Saste, O.S (W), AIBSNLEA, CHQ
congratulated Com. Prahlad Rai for getting the transfer order of Com. A
G Joshi cancelled that too before the CEC and requested CGMT, MH Circle
to post Com. A G Joshi at Circle Office, Mumbai. He demanded that the
pension contribution should be made on actual basis. He also pointed out
that the electricity bills should be levied based on industrial tariff,
property tax should not be paid like Kerala Circle, as the property has
not been transferred to BSNL so far and requested the CGMT to take
appropriate action so as to save BSNL money. He has pointed out that
some executives allotted the Jabalpur Training Centre, are getting it
changed by some vested interest people with malafide intention and
requested CGMT to take appropriate action to stop the same.
Shri Sandeep Agrawal, Sr. G.M. (HR&A), BSNL,
Mumbai – Guest of Honour is his speech extended gratitude to the
Association for inviting him for the function. He mentioned issues
related to HR will be always there and if one issue settled, another one
will arise. He mentioned that there will be no difficulty in settling
the issues we the association and management work together. He assured
to settle all the pending issues at the earliest.
Com. Prahlad Rai, G.S., AIBSNLEA, CHQ
extended thanks for inviting him for the historical CEC at Mumbai. He
mentioned that the Maharashtra Circle is the biggest organization of the
AIBSNLEA and is the important circle in the association providing
support in policy making issues and HR issues. He mentioned that
Maharashtra Circle is also important circle in BSNL. He opined that if
Kerala and Orissa Circles can make profit, he find no reason why
Maharashtra Telecom not able to make profit. Maharashtra Circle
management is very responsible and the public is also very supportive.
BSNL corporate office is closely monitoring the activities of the
Maharashtra Circle being the important circle. He stated that when
the Maharashtra Circle starts making profit, BSNL as a whole will
become a profitable Organisation. He mentioned that BSNL is not Govt.
and not getting any support for CAPEX from the ex-chequer
Com GS expressed his
serious concerns regarding continuous trend
of the losses in
BSNL and emphasized that there
is a great need to think over it. Com GS mentioned that all the dues of
BSNL i.e. pending rural deficit charges Rs.
1250 crores, BWA refund
etc should be cleared immediately by the Government. In
his detailed address Com.
GS also highlighted the issues showing the indifferent attitude of
Government, Encroachment of Rule 37 A pension by introducing 60:40
issue, 78.2% pay fixation in case of BSNL pensioners, exhausting BSNL
reserve funds of 30,000 Crores has
adversely affected the viability of BSNL.
He mentioned that
non-reimbursement of USO funds, Licence fee, payment of interest on the
paper loan of Rs.7500 crores, pension contribution on the highest pay
are the other aspects which leads the BSNL into Loss. In case the
pension contribution is paid on actual basis on that account alone BSNL
can save 400 crores. Everything is the calculated strategy of the Govt.
to make the BSNL into Loss.
He mentioned that there
29000 telephones exchange in the country out of which 28000 exchanges
are in Rural areas. The revenue earned from 1000 exchanges in the Urban
area is spending on rural exchanges in rural areas telecom services.
He mentioned that as on
1.10.2000, when the BSNL was formed the staff strength was more and we
made profit. Now the staff strength is reduced to 1.5 lakh, but it is
making loss. It proves that the staff strength is not the reason for
the loss. He mentioned that the rural deficit charges of 1250 crores
should have paid before 31.3.2016, the same should have been reflected
in the accounts and balance sheet, though it is approved by the
Ministry, DoT has not arranged for it. The commitment made by the
Govt. while forming the BSNL was not fulfilled by the Govt.
Com GS.

pensions and no support has been given to MTNL after disinvesting 46%.
The disinvested money of the BSNL was to be utilized in other various

Shri G.K. Upadhayay, CGMT, BSNL, MH Circle, Mumbai-
Chief Guest in his address appreciated Com. Prahlad Rai for having
thorough knowledge of the issues of the multiple cadres and taking care
of the issues of all the disciplines of executives of BSNL. He
mentioned that like earlier days, now there is no much issues left out
for the associations. Even then whatever issues are left out the same
will be settled under the leadership of Com. A G Joshi and Com. Prahlad
Rai and no grievance will be left out. He requested all to take care of
the BSNL as mentioned by Com. Prahlad Rai.
mentioned that many issues were there. 4 years have been wasted to the
non availability of tender for mobile services. After introduction of
e-tender for Phase XI only tender got5 success and now equipment got
from ZTE. The quality equipment got from ZTE has benefited to BSNL.
But, the Maharashtra Circle could not get ZTE equipment, as the Western
Region tender was not finalized with ZTE. CGMT mentioned that as
compared to other regions, Western Region got only 400 BTSs as against
the requirement of 7000 towers. No add on order has been given for
Maharashtra Circle as the cost of ZTE equipment for Maharashtra circle
is costly. Efforts to get the equipment ordered against Maharashtra for
other circles and getting diversion after its receipt has also not
agreed by the ZTE.
mentioned that unless the Western region gets equipment, Maharashtra
cannot flourish and Circle will remain back as compared to any other
circles, as floating of another tender may take minimum one and half
year, by the time Maharashtra Circle will loose the customers to other
operators. He has requested Com. Prahlad Rai to take up the issue
with the BSNL Management to get the ZTE equipment allotted for
Maharashtra Circle. He mentioned that the 10% of the revenue of BSNL is
from MH Circle and 25% revenue of the EB is also from MH Circle. CGMT
requested all to bring more and more customers, as the night free scheme
is very popular and inspite of free calls at night, revenue has not been
reduced on that account.
mentioned that youth has to be attracted towards BSNL by offering with
value added and prompt services. A separate cell is also working to
handle the issues of youth. CGMT mentioned that BSNL presence in
Facebook and twitter is important to attract the youth, as the same is
less costly than many other traditional methods.
appreciated the efforts of introducing SWAS by the united forum and
requested one and all to do it in its true spirit and also request to
make best use of the remaining days of the March month.
Shri P. Venugopal, President AIBSNLEA CHQ,
in his address appreciated the MH Circle organization of AIBSNLEA for
conducting the CEC in a wonderful manner. He mentioned more than 500
membership has been increased after the last CEC at Satara and the
credit goes to Com. A G Joshi and team. He mentioned that decoration
and other arrangement of the CEC is commendable. He also appreciated
Com. Joshi and his CS report giving credit to others for the achievement
and taking blame for the failures by himself and has proved himself as a
true leader.
mentioned that many cases are pending due to court cases and association
has limited role in the case of court matters. Some of the issues may
get settled immediately and some may take some time. Requested members
to remain united and not to leave the association which is taking care
of every executive for petty reasons.
pointed out that GM Amravati and PGM Nagpur is not supporting the
AIBSNLEA. He mentioned that AIBSNLEA is true association and will not
take up anything illegal and will always approach the administration
with solutions. He appealed CGMT to advise these officers to proper
deal with the AIBSNLEA organization of respective SSAs.
appreciated the Whatsapp group activities and messaging method of
Maharashtra Circle. Requested all to participate in the ensuing AIC,
during middle of June 2016 at Mysore. He mentioned that AIBSNLEA
Maharashtra is the number One association and will remain No.1. As
regards financial viability, he requested everyone to work hard. A
positive approach from BSNL side is sufficient to retain / attract the
customers. Many flood like situations are handled only by BSNL and the
public is very well aware of it. Keep the BSNL viability as first and
foremost issue, rest will be assured by the AIBSNLEA CHQ.

Com President, my colleague
circle/chq office bearers, cwc members, Dist Secretaries/Presidents,
Branch Secretaries/Presidents, delegates, and Dear Comrades,
We are meeting at Mumbai,
after nine months since the last Circle Conference at Satara on 2nd
and 3rd June 2015. Even we have a zonal meeting at Osmanabad
along with COB, During the intervening period, AIBSNLEA MH CIRCLE
pursued vigorously issues like request transfer and Posting of
executives in engineering, accounts, electrical and civil and
architectural wing, procurement of stores, new membership enrollment,
Looking after promotions in engineering, Finance, civil, electrical,
wings and initiation of DPC for PA to PS promotion in seniority cum
fitness quota. Holding of DPCs, for Time bound promotions to executives
at regular intervals at scheduled time. It was possible only due to the
active support of all the comrades of Maharashtra Circle, DSs/DPs CP and
Circle and CHQ office bearers of AIBSNLEA, and specially due to strong
support by our GS Com Prahlad Rai, enabling us to settle some of them
and headway in some other long pending issues. A brief report of the
activities is as below.
The report relating with
the period, is heaped and crammed full with wrangle and gusty. The
indifferent attitude of Circle administration towards AIBSNLEA, a well
planned move to castrate our unity, and tried to have always a tussle
with us, with even our very small issues, made the members of AIBSNLEA
MH Circle agitated.
No transparency in transfer
and posting, embezzlement in records of stay of executives at SSA/Circle.
ITPC issue, Rule 8 issue of JTOs, requests of inter circle transfers of
SDEs and above cadre. In Osmanabad COB and zonal meeting empowered
Circle Secretary to launch Trade union action if situation demands for
settlement of the issues. I say thanks to each and everybody who whole
heartedly supported the agitation and participated in full strength and
express their love and affection and commitment towards the welfare of
executive fraternity. Salute to you all comrades and a sterling
performance needs a standing ovation.

be held on 09/03/2016 at Conference Hall BSNL Building Kala Talav Kalyan
at 16:30
CS along with Com C M Saste, OS (W), Com K P Nair, AGS (GD) CHQ, and Com
R Y Thorat, AFS AIBSNLEA MH Circle also attended the Meeting at Kalyan.
At the outset Com R D Pimpalkar DS AIBSNLEA Kalyan gave warm welcome to

report and House approved the same.
Com A.G.Joshi. CS AIBSNLEA MH Circle:-
At the outset he thanked Kalyan comrades for inviting him and he also
feel proud that he had got an opportunity to share the development at
circle level. Kalyan being the feeding SSA to Maharashtra Circle, it has
a unique and special feature. Kalyan SSA is surrounded by Nashik, Raigad,
Mumbai CO BSNL and MTNL, service area with MMRDA jurisdiction.
CS explained the one to one transfer
policy in executive fraternity by declaring the Circle office Mumbai as
SSA status. As there are no norms to calculate executive strength in
exclusive administrative offices so the CO BSNL Mumbai while declaring
the working strength of executives keeps the sanction, justified column
vacant. This creates the confusion amongst the executives. As
per transfer policy with in Circle there is no provision for one to one
criteria without mutual consent. CS explained in detail the modus
operand of the issue. Circle office cannot be compared as SSA. Hence
the transfer from intra MMRDA of a state area cannot be considered as
break in stay of SSA.
CS further narrated the issues cleared / pending at Circle
administration and the activities at circle level in detail case by
case. CS also discussed the issue of reliving officers to their
respective transferred SSA. CS also informed the house that he will meet

officers and irrespective of their membership of Association as to give
justice to the deprived. CS also shared his experience of past with
kalyan comrades and apprise the DS for its contribution towards
increasing the membership of AIBSNLEA in kalyan.

GS, FS met CGM (Inspection Circle) Jabalpur at BSNL C.O. in the presence
of PGM (SR) New Delhi and discussed regarding restructuring of
Inspection Circle after merger of T&D and QA circles. Sh. Shuklaji, CGM,
Inspection Circle mentioned that the restructuring of Inspection Circle
is now over wherein 8 GMs and 17 DGMs will be there in inspection
Circle, up to GM/DGM level the AT and QA work will be under their common
control but DE/SDE level the AT and QA work will remain separate.
Regarding financial powers and settlement of Personal claims, CGM

all the personal claims of employees and the financial powers to GMs
will be delegated shortly. CGM

Eastern Zone acute shortage of staff is
there, even GM and DGMs are not available in inspection Circle.
However, PGM (SR)
assured for posting of one GM and Some DGMs in eastern region after DE
to DGM CPC.
What is Cenvat?
Cenvat (Central Value Added Tax). It has its origin in the system of VAT
(Value Added Tax). Cenvat is common in West European Countries. Concept
of VAT was developed to avoid cascading effect of taxes. VAT was found
to be a very good and transparent tax collection system, which reduces
tax evasion, ensures better tax compliance and increases tax revenue.
You must have clear idea about the Indian tax Central Excise Duty
(BED). It is called as basic excise duty. Every manufacturer is liable
to pay the excise duty in various kinds namely Basic Excise Duty,
Special Excise Duty, Additional Excise Duty etc.
A product which is reached to a end user, so many manufacturing
activities are done. So to reduce the tax burden of the end user, the
Govt. of India has introduced the MODVAT scheme which is now called
Any manufacturer purchased a material, which is duty paid, and if it is
used for his further manufacturing activity, he can avail this as credit
in his book based on the Central Excise Invoice. At the time of selling
his manufactured goods, he is liable to pay the excise duty. He can
adjust the credit which he has taken into his book and pay the rest. If
a tax is based on selling price of a product, the tax burden goes on
increasing as raw material and final product passes from one stage to
other. For example, let us assume that tax on a product is 10% of
selling price. Manufacturer 'A' supplies his output to 'B' at Rs. 100.
Thus, 'B' gets the material at Rs. 110, inclusive of tax @ 10%. He
carries out further processing and sells his output to 'C' at Rs. 150.
While calculating his cost, 'B' has considered his purchase cost of
materials as Rs. 110 and added Rs. 40 as his conversion charges. While
selling product to C, B will charge tax again @ 10%. Thus C will get the
item at Rs. 165 (150+10% tax). As stages of production and/or sales
continue, each subsequent purchaser has to pay tax again and again on
the material which has already suffered tax. This is called cascading
to avoid the cascading effect – VAT was developed to avoid cascading
effect of taxes. In the aforesaid example, 'value added' by B is only Rs.
40 (150–110), tax on which would have been only Rs. 4, while the tax
paid was Rs. 15. In VAT, the idea is that B will pay tax on only Rs 40
i.e. value added by him. Then, it makes no difference whether a product
passes through 5 or 10 stages or even 100 stages, as every person will
pay tax only on 'value added' by him to the product and not on total
selling price.
credit system - VAT removes these defects by tax credit system. Under
this system, credit is given at each stage of tax paid at earlier stage.
Illustration of tax credit system - In the example we saw above, 'B'
will purchase goods from 'A' @ Rs. 110, which is inclusive of duty of Rs.
10. Since 'B' is going to get credit of duty of Rs. 10, he will not
consider this amount for his costing. He will charge conversion charges
of Rs. 40.00 and sell his goods at Rs. 140. He will charge 10% tax and
raise invoice of Rs. 154.00 to 'C'. (140 plus tax @ 10%). In the Invoice
prepared by 'B', the duty shown will be Rs. 14. However, 'B' will get
credit of Rs. 10 paid on the raw material purchased by him from 'A'.
Thus, effective duty paid by 'B' will be only Rs. 4. 'C' will get the
goods at Rs. 154 and not at Rs. 165 which he would have got in absence
of Cenvat. Thus, in effect, 'B' has to pay duty only on Rs 40, which is
the value added by him.

CMD BSNL convened a meeting with the
members of Core Committee of Forum of BSNL Unions / Associations wherein
GS attended the meeting as a member Core Committee and discussed
regarding viability of BSNL wherein CMD explained that BSNL's
performance has increased during the current financial year. Last month
two million GSM mobile connections has been added and this month it will
increase to 2.5 million connections. Now BSNL has come at number 2
amongst the TSPs as far as the growth is concerned. Similarly, BSNL's
number 5th position should also improve this year.
He emphasized that everybody should make
sincere efforts to increase BSNL's top line during the remaining three
weeks' time up to 31st March 2016 so this year itself BSNL
becomes profit making. Some immediate steps are required to be taken
during these three weeks' time i.e.:
1. Taking CENVAT
Table credit on delivery of equipment's itself based on BSNL Corporate
Office instructions as decision taken in HOCC.
2. Commissioning of all pending Lease
Line circuits to get more revenue. MLLN modems, core equipment, routers
etc. are readily available to meet the requirement of lease lines.
3. Rs. 1250/- Crore Rural deficit from
DoT administrative sanction should come early which may be counted in
this fiscal year.
4. Revenue flow is not the problem of
the company but the Top line of the company has to be increased.
5. BSNL is increasing its wi-fi network
by making core network compatible with 4G technology by creating more
hot spots.
6. Efforts should be made to get the 4G
spectrum on free of cost or at minimum bench mark to BSNL in lieu of
rural deficit withdrawal and state owned company etc.
7. BSNL has provided 22,000 mobile
towers under phase-viii and replaced 11,000 towers of phase-iv which has
increased the quality of service.
8. BSNL MNP has increased continuously
because of better quality of service which should continue
Writes to GS AIBSNLEA for intervention at CO BSNL New Delhi, regarding
Postponement for implementation of SD module till the completion of
Branch Audit FY 15-16. ERP section at CO BSNL Mumbai also written a
letter with approval of CGMT MH and GM (F) to corporate office. Com
Ranjeet and CAO ERP CO BSNL Mumbai has initiated the proposal by keeping
the interest of BSNL MH in mind and is correctly sensed and upheld by MH
administration and Finance section.
Comrades, as per corporate letter CIT/8-7/2012/ERP/vol-III/pt/22 dated
30/12/15 the SD Module implementation has to be carried out immediately.
This march is a crucial period. The new schemes and targets are to
achieve in this month. If we implement SD module now, the blackout
period will hamper the targets revenue and BR audit completion and BSNL
will be put in loss.

Estt. Cell, BSNL Corporate Office has issued Minutes of the meeting held
between Management and the representatives of the Executive Associations.
Comrades, let us take the review of the issue of E2 E3 scale to JTOs and
SDEs. At the time of absorption from DOT to BSNL, the intermediate scale
was given to JTOs and SDEs as E1A and E2 A. This scale was not as per
the DPE guidelines. AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA the two Associations were
constantly persuing the matter with management. All three Associations
came together, and formed a joint forum. On the platform of Joint forum
the battle of E2/E3 scale started with management. Due to continuous
follow up BSNL Management constitute a committee. The Committee was
headed by Shri Khan Sir, ED (NB) and GM (estt) was one of the members of
Committee. GM (Estt) and another officer made a note which is not in
favor of getting E2, E3 scale to JTOs and SDEs. In spite of the decent
note by these two officers, Association view was upheld by Shri Khan
Sir, ED (NB). He being a Chairman of that committee recommended E2/ E3
Scale to JTO/SDE. In the minutes issued by BSNL it seems that GM (Estt)
wants to impose her previous view even it was kept aside by Shri Khan
Sir, ED (NB), the CHAIRMAN of the committee.
Comrades E1A will be replaced by E2. E2 A will be replaced by E3. The
AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA stand is the effect should be given from 01.01.2007
the date of second PRC implementation. The other Association is Silent
on this issue.
Suppose if it is agreed as per the remarks of GM (Estt) then E2(old E1A)
to E3 JTO 5 years, E3(old E2A) to E3 again as it is SDE to Sr SDE again
5 years means 10 years in same scale & it is also against DPE
guidelines, and the implementation is is from date of approval of DOT.
This file will move from BSNL to DOT through Finance and DPE and again
DPE will turn down the proposal as the TBP in same scale for two times
is not permissible. Hence AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA are opined that Sr SDE
scale to be demolished and E6 and E7 scale to be introduced in EPP as it
was decided and recommended by Shri Khan committee that modification in
EPP if required may be considered suitably as required.
Regarding cascading effect of implementation we have the view that it
can be considered when BSNL will show the profit.
Some of executives are of the opinion that what will be the harm if
accept the proposal as it is as per the GM(Estt) as already they have
completed 9 years from 2007. Comrades, third PRC is due and if we accept
this proposal then in future it will be a very dangerous as it will put
you in huge loss. This is stand of the Associations AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA.
With this background we appeal to all executives please go through the
minutes and study it thoroughly think twice and act. Think of the year
2027 and 2037, the 4th and 5th PRC which you are
going to get (BSNL DR Recruits)

positive reciprocation to our demand. This will also help in identifying

A Facebook page was launched last summer, and the store also sends marketing information to customers via e-mail. The store has offered special discounts through online coupon sites Half Off Depot (a Courier & Press program), Seize the Deal and Groupon.
Also changing with the times is the selection of merchandise that the store carries. In the flower-child era, for instance, the store carried posters and black lights.
"It always carried a product that was relevant for the current day," Nathan Kluger said.
During the recent recession, Nathan Kluger said, he noticed that consumers were more interested in purchasing garden items and consumable goods such as food, bath products and plants — so the store started carrying more of those items.
Nathan Kluger said he aims, as much as possible, to carry locally and regionally produced products. Currently, those items include handmade pottery, honey and coffee.
Robert Kluger said his father's community approach to business has helped the Newburgh Country Store, but also the community in general.
"What's good for somebody else in Newburgh is probably good for me."
Nathan Kluger agreed, saying that a place such as the Newburgh Country Store contributes to the Tri-State's economic health overall.
Big business is important to an area, he said, but so are the locally owned businesses.
As an example, Nathan said, local residents often bring out-of-town visitors to the country store.
If the visitors enjoy their shopping experience, this can help the visitors develop a positive feeling about Southwestern Indiana in general.
"We cannot define ourselves by the number of Wal-Marts we have within five minutes," Nathan said.
