For last three days, back to back meetings have been held for negotiations on GTI. The meeting was attended by AIGETOA all India President Shri Veerabhadra Rao and Finance Secretary Shri Badri Kumar Mehta.

While LIC team once again presented a very high initial quote of Rs 3 per Thousand of GTI, team AIGETOA has categorically clarified that any rates above the initial 2019 rates of Rs 1.6 per thousand are not acceptable as the claim ratio has gone down substantially. The team AIGETOA insisted to revise the quote and has negotiated firmly on the matter. The LIC team will revert with their fresh quotes in a day or two.

We extend our thanks to all India President Shri Veerabhadra Rao and Finance Secretary Shri Badri Kumar Mehta for firmly negotiating with LIC team.

Let’s hope for the best. But one thing is very sure that in the absence of proper rates quoted by LIC, the team AIGETOA is not going to accept will insist upon further negotiations

The BSNL SCT Cell has explicitly endorsed to all the Circle Heads of BSNL the DOP&T letter (DOP&T O.M.No.36012/1/2020-Estt.(Res-II) dt. 28.12.2023), emphasizing the strict compliance and prompt action in line with the directives laid out by the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) vide its letter No. DPE-GM/43/2014-GM(FTS-1899) dated 23.01.2024. It is imperative that BSNL adhere to these guidelines to ensure inclusivity and equal opportunities for all employees, including those with benchmark disabilities.

Dear Members,

A brief overview of the developments leading to the withdrawal of the action notice is as follows:

A meeting chaired by the Director HR, with the presence of PGM (Pers) and PGM (SR), was held on 2nd February 2024. Management acknowledged the concerns raised by AIGETOA and assured prompt and appropriate action on the demands raised, particularly demand number 1.

Management committed to revisiting the issues related to resource allocation, revision of TA/DA, accommodation, mobile reimbursement limit, Pan India Laptop Policy and other allowances. These matters were slated for detailed discussion in the agenda meeting scheduled for 9th February 2024.

Thereafter an appeal was issued by management for withdrawal of the organisational action program. However, we expressed our unwillingness on the withdrawal in the absence of firm actions from management especially on the issue number 1.

Friends, it’s the matter of fact and record that AIGETOA is never hesitant in raising the issues of genuine concern and we once again re-affirm that whenever the need arises, we will be there standing firmly with the executives on the genuine issues. However, at the same time we believe that the approach should be pragmatic and result oriented and give all possible chances to amicable resolution with pointed discussions across the table.

We sincerely appreciate the efforts of all involved parties in resolving these issues amicably. We express our gratitude to Hon’ble Director (HR), PGM (Pers), PGM (SR) and CGM (UP–West) for their active involvement in resolving the issue to the satisfaction of all concerned. We also express our appreciation for our CHQ nominees Shri A A Khan and Shri Vaibhav Goyal, Circle AIGETOA Team of UP (West) under the leadership of Shri V K Yadav CP AIGETOA, Shri Nageendra Pratap Yadava, CS AIGETOA and the District Team of AIGETOA Aligarh Shri Vikas Kumar for handling the issue in perfection. We also express our gratitude to the leaders of Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) for their active support, guidance and involvement in the matter.

Let us continue to work together towards the betterment of our beloved organization BSNL and the welfare of all members.

Congratulations to all…

AIGETOA first of all congratulates Sh Ketan chauhan for fighting case in PWD commission court which forced management to accept the rightful need of Disabled employees…Even though management was adamant on 8+4 theory with false explanation, PWD court directed them to implement 4 additional Special CL.

The issue has been lingering for long and despite several times discussion on the matter, management was reluctant to issue the order. In fact, even after getting a positive verdict from PWD commissioner court management was showing unwillingness to implement the same. The issue was raised by AIGETOA CHQ in the recently held meeting with Hon’ble MoC also wherein we apprised him of this injustice to the PWD employees of BSNL. The issue was being consistently pursued by AIGETOA CHQ team at various levels and today finally the rightful due has been extended.

We take this opportunity to once again thank Shri Ketan Chauhan for getting the things in favour from the Hon’ble Chief Commissioner Court for Persons with Disabilities.

We also assure one and all that the issue of reservation in promotions is being actively pursued by AIGETOA CHQ Team and we remain committed to ensure that the rightful promotions are extended to one and all. We are prepared to take this matter at all levels including with Hon’ble supreme court also, if the rightful due is denied to the PWD candidates in ensuring the reservation in promotions from 30.06.2016 i.e. the cut off date stipulated by Hon’ble Supreme Court.
