The BSNL Co-ordination Committee is launching the second phase of its agitational programme from 22nd July 2026, with a three-day Dharna programme demanding the immediate settlement of the long-pending Wage Revision issue. The Wage Agreement file has been pending with the DoT since 12.02.2026, as the Government has not yet relaxed the Affordability Clause. The issue has become more urgent with the 4th Pay Revision Commission approaching. All units are requested to make maximum efforts to mobilise staff and ensure the participation of 100% of our members in the three-day Dharna programme. Leaders of other unions and associations may also be invited to address the Dharna, with a view to building broader unity for future nationwide agitational programmes. Make the 3-day Dharna programme a grand success!

The BSNLEU CTD Circle Union successfully celebrated its Silver Jubilee at Kolkata on 20th July, 2026 with enthusiastic participation of members and well-wishers. Com. P. Abhimanyu, Vice President, Com. Sisir Kumar Roy, Vice President and Com. Animesh Mitra, General Secretary, attended the function. The programme was conducted by Com. Jayanta Ghosh, president of Kolkata Telephones while Com. Shankar Nepal, Circle Secretary, delivered the inaugural address. The CHQ leaders recalled the formation of BSNLEU at Visakhapatnam in 2001 and highlighted the Union's 25-year journey, its achievements and the challenges facing BSNL employees, including issues related to Wage Revision (PRC). They also emphasised the importance of the forthcoming 10th Membership Verification and called upon members to strengthen the union. The celebration began with a colourful cultural programme presented by BSNLEU members. The active participation of AIBDPA and CTTMU members reflected the unity of the BSNL Coordination Committee in Kolkata Telephones. The programme concluded successfully with a houseful gathering and renewed commitment to the unity and struggles of the working class.

The increase of 3.5% IDA effective from 1st July, 2026 had already been widely reported in the media. Subsequently, on 17th July 2026, the DPE issued the official order directing Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) to implement the revised IDA and make payment with immediate effect.

The Strategic Review & Planning Meeting (SRPM) held on 13th July 2026 reviewed BSNL's encouraging performance in the first quarter of FY 2026–27. BSNL recorded 10% year-on-year growth in operating revenue, increasing from ₹4,017 crore to ₹4,418 crore. Enterprise Business registered 19.2% growth, while Consumer Mobility grew by 8%. Maharashtra Circle was among the circles appreciated for its excellent performance. These achievements are the direct result of the hard work, commitment and dedication of BSNL employees and executives, who have delivered despite severe staff shortages, increasing workload and intense competition. The results once again prove that employees are BSNL's greatest strength. BSNLEU congratulates the entire BSNL workforce for this achievement. At the same time, we demand that the Government and BSNL Management match their appreciation with concrete action by immediately settling the 3rd PRC and other pending issues. The workforce that has delivered growth deserves justice, not just appreciation. A stronger BSNL can be built only by strengthening and respecting its employees.

बीएसएनएल कोऑर्डिनेशन कमिटी ने अहम मुद्दों के जल्द समाधान के लिए आंदोलन के कार्यक्रमों का नोटिस जारी किया।

आज BSNLEU, AIBDPA और BSNL CCWF की बीएसएनएल कोऑर्डिनेशन कमिटी ने DoT सेक्रेटरी और सीएमडी बीएसएनएल को लंबे समय से लंबित मांगों को पूरा करने के लिए अलग-अलग आंदोलन कार्यक्रम आयोजित करने का नोटिस जारी किया।

मांगों का चार्टर :

• बीएसएनएल के लिए तीसरे पीआरसी की "अफोर्डेबिलिटी क्लॉज़" (क्षमता संबंधी शर्त) में ढील दी जाए और नॉन-एग्जीक्यूटिव कर्मचारियों के लिए 01.01.2017 से वेतन संशोधन (Wage Revision) को मंज़ूरी दी जाए।

• बीएसएनएल पेंशनभोगियों की पेंशन में संशोधन (Pension Revision) को 01.01.2017 से लागू किया जाए।

• कॉन्ट्रैक्ट वर्करों की छंटनी रोकी जाए, न्यूनतम वेतन का भुगतान सुनिश्चित किया जाए और कैज़ुअल लेबर व TSMs के लिए 7वें सीपीसी के वेतनमान लागू किए जाएं।

As per reports, BSNL has achieved nearly 10% growth in operational revenue in Q1 of FY 2026-27, with three months total revenue touching ₹4,418 crore. This is about ₹400 crore higher than the corresponding period last year, reflecting the hard work and dedication of BSNL employees. With the Company’s financial health improving, Management should now settle the long-pending issues of employees and retirees, especially those involving financial benefits. It is also time to revive BSNL sports activities, which are important for employee welfare, motivation and team spirit. BSNL’s growth must be reflected not only in revenues but also in the welfare of its employees and retirees.

बीएसएनएल की रेवेन्यू ग्रोथ उत्साहजनक है – कर्मचारी अपने हक के हकदार हैं।

रिपोर्ट्स के अनुसार, बीएसएनएल ने वित्त वर्ष 2026-27 की पहली तिमाही (Q1) में ऑपरेशनल रेवेन्यू में लगभग 10% की ग्रोथ हासिल की है, और तीन महीनों का कुल रेवेन्यू ₹4,418 करोड़ तक पहुँच गया है। यह पिछले साल की इसी अवधि की तुलना में लगभग ₹400 करोड़ अधिक है, जो बीएसएनएल कर्मचारियों की कड़ी मेहनत और लगन को दर्शाता है। कंपनी की आर्थिक स्थिति में सुधार के साथ, मैनेजमेंट को अब कर्मचारियों और रिटायर हो चुके लोगों के लंबे समय से लंबित मुद्दों को सुलझाना चाहिए, खासकर वे मुद्दे जो आर्थिक लाभ से जुड़े हैं। यह बीएसएनएल की स्पोर्ट्स गतिविधियों को फिर से शुरू करने का भी सही समय है, जो कर्मचारियों की भलाई, मोटिवेशन और टीम भावना के लिए महत्वपूर्ण हैं। बीएसएनएल की ग्रोथ न केवल रेवेन्यू में, बल्कि उसके कर्मचारियों और रिटायर हो चुके लोगों की भलाई में भी दिखनी चाहिए।

The extended recognition period of the Recognised Unions is set to expire tomorrow, i.e., 16.07.2026. BSNLEU has already insisted that the 10th Membership Verification be conducted via a Secret Ballot only. A letter has been submitted to the Director (HR), BSNL, urging the immediate issuance of a notification. A request has also been made to further extend the period of recognition of the Recognised Union until the verification process is completed to resolve the staff issues.

पता चला है कि 15 जुलाई को संचार राज्य मंत्री, दूरसंचार विभाग (DoT) के वरिष्ठ अधिकारियों और बीएसएनएल मैनेजमेंट के बीच एचआर मुद्दों पर एक अहम बैठक होने वाली है। बैठक से पहले, BSNLEU ने माननीय मंत्री को एक ज्ञापन सौंपा है, जिसमें सरकार से 'पे रिविज़न कमिटी' (PRC) के मुद्दे को प्राथमिकता के आधार पर उठाने का आग्रह किया गया है। यूनियन ने सरकार से अनुरोध किया है कि बीएसएनएल कर्मचारियों के वेतन संशोधन (Wage Revision) को आसान बनाने के लिए "अफोर्डेबिलिटी क्लॉज़" (Affordability Clause) में ढील दी जाए, जैसा कि बीएसएनएल बोर्ड ने पहले ही DoT को सिफारिश की है। इस बैठक में DoT के संयुक्त सचिव (प्रशासन), बीएसएनएल के सीएमडी और बीएसएनएल के निदेशक (मानव संसाधन) के शामिल होने की उम्मीद है। BSNLEU को उम्मीद है कि वे इस लंबे समय से लंबित मांग का पुरजोर समर्थन करेंगे और वेतन संशोधन पर जल्द और सकारात्मक निर्णय लेने में मदद करेंगे।

The BSNL Coordination Committee will organise a countrywide demonstration on 16th July, 2026 at all BA/OA, demanding Wage Revision and Pension Revision, including relaxation of the Affordability Clause to facilitate the wage agreement for BSNL employees. The demonstration is part of the nationwide campaign leading to the March to Parliament on 7th August, 2026, to be organised jointly by BSNL employees and Pensioners.

The Membership Switch-Over Programme will conclude in the next two days. Reports reaching CHQ from across the country are highly encouraging and reflect an overwhelming response in favour of BSNLEU. Several Circle Unions have undertaken extensive tour programmes, held direct interactions with employees, and effectively used WhatsApp campaigns to highlight BSNLEU's relentless struggle for the 3rd PRC, New NEPP, 30% SAB contribution, revision of perks and allowances, and other vital demands. The response received so far clearly indicates that employees continue to repose their confidence in BSNLEU. All signs point towards BSNLEU retaining its position as the No. 1 union once again. These final two days are crucial. Every activist and office-bearer must intensify the campaign, reach every employee and ensure maximum switch-overs. This is the semi-final before the decisive 10th Membership Verification. Let us work with renewed determination and unity to achieve an emphatic victory.
