Com. M. Vijayakumar, All India President and Circle Secretary of BSNLEU, is retiring from service on 28-02-2026 after completing 40 years of dedicated service. A committed trade union leader from the days of NFPTE to BSNLEU, he has served the organisation in various capacities, including Branch Secretary, District Secretary, Circle Office Bearer and All India President. He began his trade union journey in 1988 as Branch Secretary at the Coonoor TDE Office. Later, he became the Circle Secretary of BSNLEU, Kerala Circle and also served as an office bearer at CHQ. At the Coimbatore Conference, he was elected as the All India President of BSNLEU. He played a vital role as a member of the Wage Negotiation Committee in finalising the agreement with the Management. In addition to his trade union activities, he has also proven his talent in the cultural sphere by winning awards in national-level drama competitions. He has led many struggles for workers’ rights and made significant contributions at the branch, district, circle and national levels. The CHQ of BSNLEU extends its hearty greetings and best wishes to Com. M. Vijayakumar on his retirement and wishes him a healthy, happy and active life ahead.

CHQ has received a number of complaints from various circles stating that, in respect of officials who were converted from GPF to EPF in BSNL, the EPF contributions have been deposited with the EPF authority only from the date of issuance of the order by the Corporate Office. However, the contributions should be remitted from the actual date of joining of the officials in BSNL and not from the date of the conversion order. This issue was discussed in the last Formal Meeting held with the Director (HR) on 18.02.2026 and the Director (HR) assured that appropriate action would be taken upon receipt of individual applications duly forwarded by the concerned Circle Offices. Therefore, CHQ requests the Circle Unions having the same complaints to immediately send the names of the affected officials along with copies of relevant documents, date of joining details, etc., so that the matter can be taken up with the PGM (Estt.) at Corporate Office for further persuasion.
