Burning issues pending at Corporate Office – BSNLEU meets Shri S.P. Singh, PGM (Estt.), BSNL.

As a follow-up to the meeting held with the Director (HR) on 18.02.2026, Com. Animesh Mitra, GS and Com. P. Abhimanyu, VP, met Shri S.P. Singh, PGM (Estt.), on 25.02.2026 to discuss the burning issues pending at the Corporate Office. The issues highlighted and the feedback received are as follows:-

(1)   Perks and Allowances revision.

During the discussion, the PGM (Estt.) informed that the Committee constituted for revision of Perks and Allowances has already proposed certain recommendations. However, the proposal is awaiting clearance from the higher authorities for submission. He further clarified that the revision of HRA does not fall under the purview of this Committee. BSNLEU strongly demanded that all Perks and Allowances, especially those related to Non-Executive cadres, must be brought under the purview of the Committee to ensure comprehensive revision and justice to employees.

(2)   Holding of JTO / JE examination and Punjab Circle case.

After detailed deliberations, the PGM (Estt.) agreed to examine the matter and submit a proposal to the higher authorities for settlement of the long-pending JTO promotion case of Punjab Circle. The discussion also covered the need to explore alternative mechanisms to conduct the LICE for restructured cadres in circles where examinations have not been held for a long time.

(3)   Discrimination between NEPP and EPP.

The PGM (Estt.) informed that a Committee had already been constituted to examine the issue of discrimination between the Non-Executive Promotion Policy (NEPP) and the Executive Promotion Policy (EPP). However, the Committee has now been reconstituted with the inclusion of new members. He assured that a meeting of the reconstituted Committee will be convened at the earliest to examine the matter in detail. He also requested the Union to submit a comprehensive proposal so that the issue can be examined thoroughly and appropriate recommendations may be made.
