Based on the agreement already reached between the Staff Side and the Management Side, BSNL Corporate Office has issued letter for Change of Designations to the left out Non-Executive cadres. However, the agreement reached in the Committee, in respect of left out Group D cadres, in the pay scales from NE-1 to NE-3, has not been agreed by the Management Committee, despite BSNLEU’s taking up this issue strongly with the CMD BSNL. In respect of these left out Group D cadres, once again discussion will take place in the Joint Committee for Change of Designations.

BSNL Corporate Office has already issued this instruction to all the field units. This instruction was issued by the BSNL CO, based on the intervention made by BSNLEU. However, still some circles keep seeking the endorsement of the BSNL CO, for the clarifications issued by the DoP&T.
