Rule-8 transfer of JEs on spouse ground - Corporate Office calls for data from the circles.

BSNLEU is pressing on the BSNL Management to implement the DoP&T order which stipulates that, husband and wife working in the Central and State Government departments and in the PSUs should be posted in the same station. In BSNL, Rule-8 transfer applications of the JEs, on spouse ground, are not being considered by the Management. As per the BSNL Corporate Office letter, requests for transfer under Rule-8 of the JEs will not be considered to the surplus circles, even on spouse ground. In his meeting with CMD BSNL held on 02-11-2023, the General Secretary, BSNLEU, urged that the Management should consider the transfer request of the JEs for Rule-8 transfer on spouse ground, as per the DoP&T instructions. The CMD BSNL assured that, the matter would be looked into. In continuation of this discussion, the Establishment Branch of the Corporate Office has written to all the CGMs on 09.11.2023, calling for data regarding the number of employees who have applied for transfer on spouse ground under Rule-8 in each circle. It is also stated in that letter that, the requisite data should be sent within 10 days. Circle Secretaries are requested to ensure that the requisite data is sent to the Corporate Office within the stipulated time limit.
