DoT issued clarification of DoT OM   A-11013/33/2011-Absorption Cell dated 03.11.2011 regarding absorption of Group 'A' Officers in BSNL/MTNL <<Click Here for clarification>>  <<BSNL endorsement to this clarification>>

Status on ITS Absorption:GS, President  and GS, SNEA(I) along met concerned officers in DOT dealing with the issue of absorption and requested them to be tough on the issue and not be carried away by false opinion of BSNL management that BSNL will collapse in the event of repatriation of ITS. Further, we apprised them that no CPSU has a borrowed management structure and continuance of such a mechanism in BSNL for eleven years has pulled down BSNL to present position. Cries of Crisis, crisis, crisis by BSNL management are nothing but a deliberate strategy of BSNL management to protect ITS and allow them to continue in BSNL illegitimately. Very tough and unwavering response is needed from DOT to conclude this issue which is extremely vital for viability of BSNL.

Officers dealing with absorption indicated that government is very firm and means business in real terms. Government is not going to yield to the pressure tactics of BSNL management and will ensure that in a phased manner each and everyone not opting for BSNL will be surely repatriated.

We understand that absorption process is being implemented in a phased manner and CMD has given commitments to DOT about definite time frame in which the process will be concluded.

In the meantime, to register our strongest protest against BSNL management for its insistence on completing absorption in a phased manner, we are planning to hold a massive rally at Delhi along with our MTNL Comrades on the day orders to complete absorption in a phased manner are issued. We are determined to fight it out this time till such time each and every ITS officer not opting for BSNL is repatriated to DOT. We appeal to our Comrades throughout the Country to be fully ready to fight this war like situation. We commit to our comrades that we will not sit back till our goal of repatriation of ITS who have been continuing illegitimately in BSNL for six years is accomplished. Be ready for a do or die fight to save our beloved company.      

Dilution of BSNLMS RRs : Some officers who were relieved from DOT unceremoniously for their complete negative role while our time bound promotion policy was being finalized and are now finding a place in the committee constituted to finalize RRs for recruitment of DGMs/GMS and CGMs are trying to dilute existing BSNLMS RRs by diluting the provisions contained in the RRs for promotion to DGMs through seniority cum fitness and through competitive means as MTs. We understand that this officer having an extremely established negative track record is framing RRs for outside recruitment of DGMs by deciding eligibility conditions in a manner to exclude every absorbed executive in BSNL from becoming DGM and in the process completely diluting the provisions of BSNLMS RRs as far as promotion to DGM is concerned.

We have to launch immediately massive country wide protests against constitution of committee comprising deputationists having no stake in the company. Foreigners cannot decide RRs for recruitment of DGMs/GMs/CGMs in BSNL. It is condemnable on the part of BSNL management to constitute committee to finalize RRs comprising of those who have decided not to opt for BSNL. When more than 300 absorbed Gr A officers in the rank of Executive director, CGMs and GMS are available, it is ridiculous on part of BSNL management not to include a single officer from the huge pool of absorbed officers available. Intentions of BSNL management by constituting committee comprising of those who have opted for DOT are very clear.

Comrades get ready to expose fully the sinister designs of BSNL management to inflict damage on our career growth as well as that of the Company. Make elaborate and extensive organizational preparations to expose ulterior motive of BSNL management on the streets.
