The Corporate Office has already issued letters stating that, the pre-induction training period should be considered for EPF coverage. Further, the Management has also decided that, the employee contribution for this EPF coverage would be paid by the Management and that the money need not be deducted from employees salary. However, these orders of the Corporate Office are yet to be implemented.  This is because there is border dispute going on in the Corporate Office. Concerned Branches say, they are not connected with the issue. In the meanwhile, the EPFO has fixed 26-06-2023 as the last date for submitting option for higher pension. This date is fast approaching. Hence, BSNLEU has written a letter to the Director (HR), requesting him to resolve the border dispute going on in the Corporate Office. 

BSNL conducted a Special JTO LICE on 18.12.2022. 426 candidates have qualified in this Special JTO LICE. As per the condition of the notification issued for this Special JTO LICE, the candidates cannot apply for transfer before completion of 5 years. BSNLEU has written a letter to the CMD BSNL today, demanding that mutual transfers should be exempted from this clause. Even after considering the mutual transfer, the strength of the JTO cadre in a circle will remain the same. Hence, BSNLEU has demanded that the requests for mutual transfer of the candidates selected in the Special JTO LICE should be considered.
