31-01-2020 : Thousands of employees retiring today with heavy heart:- More than 78000 employees in BSNL are retiring today with heavy heart as the management has apparently ensured to send them with empty hand. The salary for two months and outstanding dues of Banks, Societies, LIC, Welfare contributions etc of such personnel have not been cleared resulting imposition of penalties due to default of the management. There has been enormous propaganda day in and day night by the BSNL HQR and DOT about the “Robust Package “ of VRS but even the DOT, owner of BSNL, has not cared to ensure the salary payment. It is not only unfortunate but most disgusting and painful. The employer and the owner failed to fulfil their obligations towards employees despite relentless persuasions by the union.
It is high time that the top management realise the sufferings before it is too late. The NFTE (BSNL) HQR wish all the retired Comrades happy and prosperous retired life. Our efforts to continue till resolution of the issues. The CHQ reassures we mean what we say for the welfare of the brethren.

30-01-2020 : COMMITMENTS/PROMISES THROWN TO THE WIND:-
Top management very loudly declared on occasions to send the BSNL VRS optees, 2019 with honour and dignity. Assured repeatedly to pay the salary on due date and clear all the dues of societies, Banks, LIC etc. The optees are facing huge penalties from the above organisations due to non-remittance of recovered amounts of loans/instalments.
The management has added insult to the injury and issued orders on 08-01-2020 not to honour the VRS retirees in farewell meetings and avoid expenditures on them. It has been in very bad taste and the union protested in the formal meeting on 21st January, 2020 held with Director (HR). He has been kind enough to appreciate our point and ordered for modification in orders. The union leaders run from pillar to post but the revised orders as promised could not see the light of the day. What is credibility of such assurance ?.
It is painful to note that our Comrades, brothers and sisters are retiring with empty hands who have contributed a lot for the company. It is really very painful for to us to record as their contributions have been ignored.
Therefore, the CHQ appeal to union leaders at all levels to rise to the occasion and ensure that full honour is extended to all the retirees from us.
Further, there will be complete vacuum in exchanges and offices. Our customers may face inconveniences. We have faced crisis during the natural calamities in different parts of the country and served the people in difficult days.
The HQR fervently appeal to retired Comrades to come forward to serve voluntarily for few days after retirement subject to the acceptance by the management at different levels as BSNL has been our bread earner and we are committed for its survival. Forget and forgive the neglects at the hands of higher ups for the sake of company.

01-01-2020 : Welcome to 2020 – Farewell to 2019:- In the year 2019, NFTE participated in all the struggles conducted by AUAB for Revival of entity BSNL and in settlement of the staff issues. Bulk of the employees opted for VRS in the year 2019. Now, the situation is challengeable before us to achieve the promises made by Govt for Revival of BSNL. Allotment of 4G spectrum to BSNL is still slowly moving, where as “5G” spectrum action will takes place shortly. Employees were not getting their wages in due date since four months and the VRS opted employees have to get their benefits in intime fixed by Corporate office.
We hope that the vacuum caused in BSNL because of VRS is to be settled early to strengthen the entity BSNL. The year 2020 is beginning with one day strike on 08-01-2020, against the anti PSU and anti labour policies of Govt. All trade unions in the country are planning for success of the one day strike. We request to all to participate in the strike and make it success on 08-01-2020.

In the meantime he criticized the act of some officers who created panic and fear among the staff and forced them to opt for VRS. He also pointed out the grey areas of Pension and Commutation. NFTE is trying hard to get clarity on this issues and no communication is received from DOT/GOI so for. He appealed to all who will remain in BSNL to contribute their best for the revival of the Company. He also assured that NFTE will provide all safety and congenial atmosphere for the remaining BSNL staff. The meeting was also addressed by Com Shahid Hussain District President of Ambikapur and Shri R.K.Sahu GMTD Ambikapur. The new set of office bearers Com Shahid Husain, Com S.M Chilamwar, and Com Jitendra Singh were elected as Circle President, Circle Secretary and Circle Treasurer respectively, in the delegate session.

10-12-2019 : Meeting with Sr. GM(Est):- President and Treasurer of union met the Sr. GM(Est) and apprised him about the latest letter of DOT intimating that the service books of optees must contain indemnity Bond for such VRS optees who have taken IDA pay scales from the date of promotion. The union emphasised that the issue be sorted out for updating the service books and timely settlement of pension.
Further the DOT has not cleared the grey areas of pension in respect of VRS optees as yet.

10-12-2019 :Retirement age from 60 to 58 years:- The CHQ is being frequently contacted on the reduction of retirement age from 60 to 58 years. There are interested quarters and vicious circle who are involved to create fear in the field. The Govt can take a decision in the matter but it will be in utter violation of agreement arrived at between three federations, BSNL and DOT. The very credibility of BSNL and DOT will be questioned if it is done. However if union, NFTE (BSNL), is forced to walls it will knock the doors of Courts including Supreme Court being signatory of Tripartite agreement. But at the same time let us know the advantages of retirement on superannuation.
- DCRG will be paid immediately and not blocked for 5 years as in case of VRS optees.
- Can avail commutation within one year of retirement without medical examination with present multiplying factor and need not wait for 5 years as in case of VRS optees.
- Benefits of wage and pension revisions will accrue as and when these are done.
Despite representations from union the DOT has avoided to spelt out the grey areas of pension to VRS optees. The pension issues are not within the domain of BSNL HQR.

29-11-2019 : For kind attention of GM(SR) and others in BSNL HQR:-
We heard the motivation appeal to employees for availing VRS being very attractive and free from all confusions.
Please respond if you or any officer in BSNL HQR is competent to clarify the pension matters. Is it not known that pension matters fall in the domain of DOP/DOT. Why the DOT is not coming forward to clarify the matters of pension raised by the unions including NFTE(BSNL). Being GM(SR) please take steps so that the future of VRS employees are not darkened. Also is it not the responsibility of management to ensure salary payment. The employees are facing untold sufferings.

29-11-2019 : Unfortunate indeed ! :- The Director (HR) told us on 26-11-2019 that the salary of October will be paid to employees on 29th November. Today, the President met GM (Budget), Shri Bhatt who told that the payment of salary is not possible as neither Banks nor DOT have come forward to help the Company. The President thereafter met the GM(SR) and conveyed unions deep anguish as the commitment has not been honoured. Employees are suffering. The DOT is also quiet over the pension related matters and reportedly not inclined to issue any clarification on the pension matters. These are unfortunate developments.

29-11-2019 : Silence is not the remedy:- NFTE(BSNL) is raising its concerns from 6th November onward on the grey area in pension for VRS optees 2019. The following issues need specific notification by DOT.
(1) VRS optees will not be treated as separate group and their pension revisions will take place along with other retirees simultaneously.
(2) As per present orders the commutation is allowed within one year without medical. How the withheld commutation of VRS optees will be regulated and what value will be applied.
(3) PPOs should contain all pensionery benefits of VRS optees.
The DOT is keeping silence on the above matters although we have sent series of representations on the issues. The owner, DOT is apparently asking BSNL to clarify on the issues fully knowing these do not fall in the domain of BSNL.
Therefore, the DOT must break its silence and show transparency on the referred matters. Do not darken the future of employees.

27-11-2019 : No proposal to fix the retirement age:
Presently, there is no proposal in Government to fix the retirement age of 60 years or 33 year of service whichever is earlier for Government employees. In other words retirement age will remain 60 years. This was stated in the Parliament. Ignore the rumours hereafter in this regard.
1 Retirement of absorbed employees in BSNL cannot be reduced to 58 years: The retirement age of absorbed employees in BSNL is linked with the Central Government Employees as per Rule 37 A amendments. There has been tripartite agreement also between BSNL DOT and three federations on the same. If it is reduced then NFTE will challenge the same in the Court of Law. The absorbed employees came along with FR 35(A) benefit and continue to enjoy even today.

25-11-2019 : Meeting with the GM(SR):-
The union leaders met the GM(SR) and mentioned the following issues for bringing into the notice of the Director (HR)/CMD BSNL.
(1) Salary of all staff alongwith ITS personnel be paid urgently. There should not be discrimination to prevent industrial unrest.
(2) The clarifications issued by Director (HR) in his message dated 23rd November, 2019 on pension issues need to be notified by DOT/DOP.
(3) Some Circles/SSAs have started transfers of the staff. The Director (HR) agreed on 18-11-2019 that the union will be consulted in evolving the procedure. The employees who have withdrawn their options for VRS are also being transferred to create fears. This is against assurance of CMD/Director (HR).

25-11-2019 :Why salary of BSNL staff will be held up?
The Honourable Delhi high court on 18th November 2019 has ordered in ITSA petition that salary and perks of employees should not be held up. Management is contemplating to pay salary of ITS personnel alone. It will be unfair. Salary of all staff should not be held up and payment be made.

25-11-2019 : Settle Pension expeditiously
NFTE has voiced its concern that delay will take place in grant case of pension to VRS optees of 2019. It is due to obvious factors. The BSNL HQs is trying to speed up the process but how it can be without
1. The Acceptance letter of VRS and Calculation sheet.
2. Without depositing GPF Contributions, LIC instalments.
How the employees will fill up their pension papers in absence of necessary documents and completion of formalities,
BSNL HQr should take and adopt correct approach and should not resort to coerecive attitude. Hardships of VRS optees must be taken care.

25-11-2019 : Message of Director (HR) dated 23rd November and NFTE’s reaction.
Director (HR) has issued a message on 23/11/2019 clarifying on issues relating to Pension, which is not even in the domain of DOT, what to say of BSNL?. These, enumerated below, need approval and concurrence of DOT/DOP(PW).
1.Commutation of Pension – As per pension rule commutation is permissible within a year of retirement without medical examination. If it is deferred for latter period, without concurrence of DOT and DOP (PW) complications will arise causing hardships to VRS optees. Amendment in pension rule is necessary.
2. Pay/Pension revision – The DOT should issue necessary clarification to the effect that VRS optees will not be treated as separate group and they will be entitled for pay and pension revision along with earlier retirees. BSNL’s clarification is of no use.
3. Clear cut communication be issued by DOT to the effect that VRS 2019 retirees will continue to be covered under Rule 37A and VRS retirees will be at par with earlier retired personnel.

24-11-2019 :NFPTE formation Day :-
The National Federation of Post and Telegraph employee was formed on 24th November 1954 It has played a very vital role in improving and safeguarding the interest of P & T workers as well as the Central Government employees. The demand for “Need based Minimum Wage” and historic one day strike of 19th September will ever be remembered. After bifurcation of P & T into two the NFTE came into existence. Sequel to corporatization with effect from 01/10/2000 it took rebirth as NFTE (BSNL) and carrying forward the tradition of NFPTE. The CHQ extends greeting on the occasion and offer red salute to all the leaders who have sacrificed their lives in the movement

23-11-2019 :NFTE’s Positive approach:
NFTE as a responsible Trade union has always played a Positive role on the issues and moved in a constructive manner. We never believe in “fighting for the sake of fighting”. From the date of announcement of BSNL VRS2019, we studied the scheme and started discussions with management and expressed our concern on Vital issues of deferred Payment of Gratuity, commutation and future Pension/family pension protection under Rule37-A. We wrote on this subject to CMD BSNL and Secretary DOT for issuance of clarifications at the earliest. Our linkage with Rule 37A should remain intact even after VRS.
Further, we insisted that post VRS, reorganisation of BSNL structure and maintenance and improvement of BSNL service be discussed with recognised unions. BSNL Management readily agreed and 26th evening a meeting is scheduled to take place with Dir (HR).
Again On 22/11/2019 NFTE discussed with the CMD BSNL and enlightened him with the apprehensions prevailing in the field. He assured to address the issues.
Hence Our Circle / District office bearers are requested not to be led away with stories and rumours. Comrades there are personnel who are prone to create panic amongst the employees. Just ignore these and play constructive role to help and protect the employees including VRS optees.
The upgradations of employees in NEPP are due but the SSA Heads are avoiding to hold the DPC for upgradation. Comrades exert at Circle/SS levels for holding the required DPC. The BSNL Headquarters due to constant pressure and persuasion of NFTE has issued orders on 22/11/2019 to hold the DPC. It should be implemented.

18-11-2019 : Decide destiny with wisdom and courage :-
The NFTE has raised the grey areas in pension in respect of VRS optees on 6th and 7th November itself. National Executive meeting held on 10th and 11th at Jabalpur, the union listed the concerns in pension for VRS optees and appraised all concerned. The GM (SR) was appraised at Jabalpur meeting itself. Further immediately on return from Jabalpur we wrote to all concerned in the matter.
Unfortunately till date DOT has not responded to our concerns. The BSNL HQr is not competent to issue any clarification. Their instruction on pension is of no value.
It is coming to our notice some higher-ups who are immune from accountability are telling in the field that everything including pension matters of VRS are transparent and non-optees will face serious consequences. If it is true it is unbecoming on their part, we appeal to them to desist from this.
NFTE sincerely appeal all concerned to resolve the grey areas in pension and the employees are free to decide their destiny as per their wisdom. The NFTE has always played a positive role but will not sacrifice the interest of employees, come what may.
The CHQ exhorts to workers to decide their future with courage and wisdom and ignore the threats and rumours. NFTE will always be at their back. High handedness, if any, will be resisted including much rumoured lowering of retirement age from 60 to 58 years. Doors of court are open.

As soon as we stated about ambiguity and grey areas of pension benefits he was taken a back but agreed these should be sorted out so that the employees may not suffer.

In this connection we have already written to all concerned that the rolling back of retirement age will be against the commitment of the Govt and agreement with the unions on the eve of formation of BSNL. If it is imposed the union will fight against it and resort to litigation.

13-11-2019 :Future concern in respect of VRS optees:-The National Executive meeting held from 10th to 11th November at Jabalpur, seriously deliberated the VRS offer to BSNL workforce for the so called revival of the PSU.
There are serious concerns and apprehension on vital issues, which are appended below.
- The VRS optees may not be taken as a separate group of pensioners. This may lead to dangerous position and pension revision in respect of such personnel may not take place at all, along with other pensioners in future. The DOT has also not spelt out if the grant of pension will be under rule 37-A. This is evident in DOT’s communication No:30-04/2019-PSU Affair at 29th October 2019.
- As per existing orders and provisions in pension CCS CCA Pension rules the application for commutation of pension has to be preferred by the retiree within one year of his retirement without medical examination. This rule is not revised and changed by DOPW pension department. The DOT and BSNL HQs are not competent to modify the commutation orders. Very clear and transparent orders also needed in this regard to prevent the complication in future.
- The DOT and BSNL have not clearly stated that all pensionery benefits to VRS optees will be as per provisions of Rule 37 - A
- Abnormal delay will take place in settlement of pension of VRS optees as contribution of pension are not being deposited by the BSNL. Similarly GPF contribution is also not being deposited. The VRS optees will not get final GPF settlement from DOT Cell causing hardships and sufferings.
- The BSNL HQs is not depositing recovered amount of instalments of LIC, Banks Societies etc. These organisations may not provide clearance certificates.
- Neither DOT nor BSNL HQs has fixed time period by which all claims will be settled.
All the above issues have been stated by President and General Secretary before GM (SR) who attended the National Executive meeting on 10th November at Jabalpur.
Above are for kind and serious consideration of VRS Optees

13-11-2019 : Resume of National Executive Meeting:- The National Executive meeting was held on 10th and 11th November 2019 in Hotel Datt Regency at Jabalpur under the Chairmanship of Com Islam Ahmad.
The inaugural function took place on 10/11/2019, which was attended by CGM MP Shri Mahesh Shukla and Shri A M Gupta GM (SR) deputized by CMD BSNL. Com N D Ram General Secretary SEWA BSNL and Com Rashidkhan Dy General Secretary TEPU also attended and addressed.
Com C Singh, GS and Com Islam Ahmad President dealt at length about the gray areas in settlement of pension and its allied matters and urged the GM (SR) to appraise the CMD BSNL in this respect. It is the irony of fate that till date the corporate office has not drawn any road map for running the company. The 4G service be launched at the earliest. The management has never consulted union for revival plan. GM (SR) promised to apprise the CMD BSNL about the views expressed by the leaders.
The CGM Shri Shukla stressed that the doubts and apprehension of employees be addressed to prevent hardships and sufferings in future. Workers be taken into confidence to run the services as challenges are high before the PSU.
President in his concluding speech stressed that the DOT and BSNL should be transparent in all the HR matters to avoid complications in future, keeping in view the approach and attitude of MOF.
The Comrades of Jabalpur made excellent arrangements and moved shoulder to shoulder to make the meet ever remembering.
Hearty Congrats to them.

06-09-2019 : Arbitrary approach will harm the PSU:-
Of late the BSNL management is adopting arbitrary approach and attitude on issues without realizing that ultimately it will harm the Company.
Arbitrary decision has been taken to withhold the salary payment of August creating panic and unrest amongst the staff. There has been no transparency on the part of management in this respect despite our best efforts and persuasion.
Further, management has issued orders on 5th September, 2019 to update the service books of employees who have attained 50 years of age. It may be a routine affair but it is ill timed. There is enormous talks in social media about VRS, CRS and reduction in retirement age. The orders of 5th September have also disturbed and disappointed the employees. The NFTE has its history and we know how to protect the employees and fight out the injustices and highhandedness. The NFTE will resist evil designs with courage and wisdom. We cannot be taken for granted. Let it be clear.
We sincerely appeal to management to desist from arbitrary approach and take union into confidence in the hour of crisis to run or not to ruin the bread earner, BSNL.

20-08-2019 : Reduction of retirement age from 60 to 58 – hold protest lunch hour demonstrations throughout the country tomorrow the 21.08.2019.
The AUAB has learnt reliably that the BSNL Board of Directors meeting is going to be held tomorrow the 21.08.2019, in which they are going to give approval for reducing the retirement age of BSNL employees from 60 to 58. We have been hearing for the past few months, about the proposal of the government to reduce the retirement age from 60 to 58. This is totally against the commitment given by the Union Cabinet in the year 2000, that government rule will be applicable so far as the retirement of BSNL employees is concerned. In view of this, we have to strongly protest the move of the BSNL Board to reduce the retirement age from 60 to 58. Hence, the AUAB calls upon the entire Executives and Non-Executives of BSNL to hold lunch hour demonstrations tomorrow to protest against the proposed move of the BSNL Board to reduce the retirement age from 60 to 58.
