Take all-out preparations for the Protest Chain programme on 20th May 2026, as the IDA Arrear- related file has still not been replied to by the Management at Corporate Office. On last Friday, CHQ had received the information that the management is collecting inputs from the Board Members regarding payment of the IDA arrears along with the salary for May 2026. However, it is unfortunate that the DoT is still waiting for a reply from the BSNL Management. Under these circumstances, all circles and districts are requested to intensify preparations and ensure the grand success of the Protest Chain programme on 20th May 2026. Unity and struggle will ensure our success.

On 29-05-2025, BSNL Management issued letter, suspending all sports activities. The Management has also stopped the facility of providing 2 hours / 4 hours daily off for the practicing of the sportspersons.

On 30-05-2025 itself, BSNLEU has written letter to the CMD BSNL, requesting to restore all the sports activities. In the meantime, many sportspersons have approached BSNLEU and have requested to restore at least the 2 hours / 4 hours daily off for practicing for the sportspersons. Today, once again BSNLEU has written a letter to the CMD BSNL, requesting to restore all the sports activities immediately. Pending Restoration of the sports activities, BSNLEU has requested the CMD BSNL to restore the facility of 2 hours / 4 hours daily off for practicing for the sports persons.

In the 40th National Council meeting, held on 13-01-2025, BSNLEU demanded that, the discrimination between NEPP and the Executive Promotion Policy( EPP) should be removed. While the Non- Executives get Time Bound Upgradation of pay scale only after completion of 8 years, the Executives get upgradation of pay scale on completion of every 5 years. BSNLEU strongly demanded that, this discrimination should be removed. The Director(HR) accepted the views of BSNLEU and ordered that, a committee to settle this issue would be formed. It is already 3 months since the National Council meeting is held. To our knowledge, so far the committee has not been formed. Hence, BSNLEU has written letter to the Director(HR) today, demanding expeditious formation of the committee for the removal of the discrimination between NEPP and EPP.

एनईपीपी और ईपीपी के बीच भेदभाव को दूर करने के लिए शीघ्र समिति का गठन करें - BSNLEU ने निदेशक (मानव संसाधन) को लिखा पत्र।

13-01-2025 को आयोजित 40वीं नेशनल काउंसिल की बैठक BSNLEU ने मांग की कि नॉन एक्ज़िक्यूटिव्स प्रमोशन पॉलिसी और एक्ज़िक्यूटिव्स प्रमोशन पॉलिसी (ईपीपी) के बीच भेदभाव को दूर किया जाना चाहिए। जहां नॉन एक्ज़िक्यूटिव्स को केवल 8 वर्ष पूरे होने के बाद ही वेतनमान का अपग्रेडेशन मिलता है, वहीं एक्ज़िक्यूटिव्स को हर 5 साल पूरे होने पर वेतनमान का अपग्रेडेशन मिलता है। BSNLEU ने दृढ़ता से मांग की कि, इस भेदभाव को दूर किया जाना चाहिए। निदेशक (मानव संसाधन) ने BSNLEU के विचारों को स्वीकार किया और आदेश दिया कि, इस मुद्दे को निपटाने के लिए एक समिति बनाई जाएगी। नेशनल काउंसिल की बैठक को आयोजित हुए पहले से ही 3 महीने हो चुके हैं। हमारी जानकारी में, अभी तक समिति का गठन नहीं किया गया है। इसलिए, BSNLEU ने आज निदेशक (मानव संसाधन) को पत्र लिखकर एनईपीपी और ईपीपी के बीच भेदभाव को दूर करने के लिए समिति के शीघ्र गठन की मांग की है।

The All India Public Sector Carrom Tournament is being held at New Delhi from 22nd to 24th April 2025. It has been brought to the notice of the CHQ that, the Corporate Office has not so far issued the required approval for the participation of BSNL's teams in this tournament. Hence, BSNLEU has written letter to the PGM(Admin.) today, requesting him to immediately issue the necessary approval.

The Andaman & Nicobar circle administration has refused to accept Com.S.P.Kalairajan, circle secretary of BSNL EU as a member of the Circle Welfare Board. The reason cited by the circle administration is that, Com.S.P. Kalairajan is a retired employee. This is totally absurd. Com. S.P.Kalairajan is the circle secretary of the Main Recognised Representative Union. He is accepted as a member of the Circle Council. At the same time, it is totally meaningless not to accept him as a member of the Circle Welfare Board. CHQ has written a letter to the PGM(SR) in this regard. Today, Com.P. Abhimanyu,GS, discussed this issue with Ms.Anita Johri, PGM(SR) and requested her to cause to issue necessary instruction to the A&N circle administration. The PGM(SR) has assured to do the needful.

BSNLEU CHQ writes to PGM (SR) Smt. Anita Johari to release the formal minutes of the meeting held with Director (HR). As issues discussed in the meeting are important and urgent in nature.

Following the recent meeting on March 22, 2024, where management requested details on stagnation and pay loss cases for non-executives, BSNLEU has compiled and submitted comprehensive data with stagnation cases for review. We echo concerns that accepting proposed pay scales could worsen these issues. Urging thorough examination and discussion within the wage negotiation committee, we request prompt scheduling of the next meeting within a fortnight to expedite negotiations. Join us in advocating for fair compensation and equitable treatment for all BSNL non-executive employees.
