Meeting with Hon'ble MOC&IT: GS, President AIBSNLEA, GS, AGS SNEA(I) , GS TEAM (MTNL) & GS(MEA) MTNL met Hon'ble MOC&IT Sh. Kapil Sibal & expressed  their sincere gratitude & thanks to him for vigorously re-initiating the process of absorption of ITS officers in BSNL/MTNL. Addl. Secy(T), DoT was also present in the meeting. We expressed our serious concern and anxiety against phased repatriation of deputationist officers from BSNL/MTNL, wherein the charge of deputationist officers is being further given to the deputationist officer only, who don't have any interest and commitment to work in BSNL/MTNL.

We apprised Hon'ble MOC&IT that more than 54,000 absorbed Group-'A' and Group-'B' level executives are available in BSNL/MTNL to maintain flawless Telecom services & are committed to the growth of both these Companies.

Hon'ble MOC&IT while appreciating and fully endorsing our concern mentioned that he is fully aware of the issue and its impact on viability of BSNL/MTNL. MOC&IT assured that Govt. decision will be implemented in its true spirit, and in no case the decision will be diluted.

We further apprised MOC&IT that BSNL/MTNL; ITS dominated Management is more committed to protect the interests of ITS Cadre rather than safe guarding the interests of growth and viability of  BSNL/MTNL.

Finally, we solicited MOC&IT's immediate kind intervention to complete the absorption process as quickly as possible and he responded in an affirmative and positive manner.

Meeting with PS to Hon'ble MOC&IT: GS, President and GS, SNEA(I) met PS to Hon'ble MOC&IT and apprised him about the ongoing process of repatriation. Wherein BSNL/MTNL managements are trying to derail the absorption process. We requested him to arrange a meeting with Hon'ble MOC&IT on this issue at the earliest. He assured for arranging a meeting with Hon'ble MOC&IT at the earliest.

Meeting with Secy(T), DoT : GS,  President and GS, SNEA(I) met Secy(T), DoT and thanked him for painstaking efforts of DoT in starting the process of absorption of Group -'A' officers in BSNL/MTNL in right earnest. However, we expressed our serious concern against phased repatriation of deputationist from BSNL/MTNL which will harm both the PSUs since the charge is being further given to deputationists only. BSNL/MTNL Managements are not taking immediate steps to fill up the vacant posts on account of repatriation and allowing unabsorbed officers to take additional charge. We also informed Secy/DOT that we do not trust the integrity of BSNL management because there is no dividing line between BSNL management and ITS.

Secy(T) categorically told that  govt. is firm to complete the absorption process of Group-'A' officers in BSNL/MTNL within a suitable time frame wherein BSNL/MTNL has been directed to take adequate steps to maintain the services. He reaffirmed his faith and confidence in the existing BSNL's executives / non-executives to face the challenges. 

On being informed about the reported efforts of deputationists to create legal complications to stall the absorption process, Secy/DOT categorically mentioned that already court judgment exists to repatriate all deputationists but govt. is taking a lenient view and has re-initiated the absorption process in the context of court judgment and long pending decision of government to end duality.

Secy/DOT clearly told that repatriation process will be completed in the shortest time frame and not even a single deputationist will be allowed to continue in BSNL/MTNL beyond transition time. Secy/DOT was categorical in mentioning that process which could not be completed in 2005 due to various reasons would be surely taken to its logical conclusion this time under all circumstances. He advised us to call upon all the BSNL/MTNL employees to fully concentrate on the growth of both these PSUs.

Meeting with Addl. Secy(T), DoT: GS, President of AIBSNLEA and GS, SNEA(I) met Addl. Secy(T), DoT . Jt. Secy(T) was also present in the meeting. We expressed our serious concern against phased repatriation of deputationist from BSNL/MTNL and apprised him that BSNL/MTNL Management is not implementing DoT order of repatriation in true sense and spirit. Both the managements are safeguarding the interest of ITS officers rather than safe guarding the interest of BSNL/MTNL.  On repatriation of deputationists from BSNL/MTNL no crisis are going to take place since sufficient absorbed Group-'A' & Group -'B' level executives are available to maintain the services and ensure growth of the Company, we informed Addl. Secy(T).

Additional Secy(T)/DOT and JS(T) clearly mentioned that Govt. is very firm to complete the process of Group-'A' officers absorption in BSNL/MTNL and no deputationist will be allowed to continue in BSNL/MTNL. Shortly the repatriation work will be completed and BSNL/MTNL Managements have already been directed to fill up the vacant posts on account of repatriation at  their own through promotion/recruitment. Both the officers categorically stated that there is no basis to doubt the integrity of Govt. in this regard. DoT is closely monitoring the process to complete it as early as possible.
