·
The meeting started with
welcome by Shri. M. S. Hanchate, OSD to CGMT MH and Shri. Aman Jaiswal, GM HR MH CO gave brief note on his idea on proposed transfers of executives in Maharashtra Circle. Thereafter
suggestions were called from the associations on proposed transfers and issues were
discussed in details from all angles. The details of issues discussed and
discussions thereof is as follows.
1. Request transfers from Tenure Stations: GM HR MH CO in his brief
address cleared that he will start with consideration to request transfer from
tenure stations. He added that there is well defined transfer policy in posting
substitute for Tenure stations and he do not find any issue in giving
consideration of all request from tenure stations. He added that substitute for considering
request transfers from Tenure stations will be given from the combined waiting
list of JE, JTO and SDE. While counting stay of JEs, the JEs recruited in SSA
Cadre will be excluded from the long stay transfers and JE recruited in Circle
Cadre will be considered for posting substitute at tenure stations. He added
that first request for tenure stations from JE/JTO and SDE will be given for
posting as substitute and then remaining substitutes will be posted from the
combined long stay list i.e. long stay list together of JE, JTO and SDE as per
their continuous stay in a particular SSA.
2. Request Transfers of JTOs from MH Telecom Circle to
CNTXW Circle: GM HR MH CO informed that as per request of CNTXW
Circle to fill post total 12 post of JTOs at specific locations in CNTXW Circle
in Territory of Maharashtra Circle, options have been called by his office from
JTOs working in Maharashtra Circle. He
added that out of 12 post as required by CNTXW Circle options/willingness has
been received from JTOs for 07 posts at certain locations and till no option
has been received for posts at 05 locations. He added that all options received
from JTOs for posting to CNTXW Circle,
will be given consideration and to fill up vacant post at remaining five
locations, he has proposed to post junior most JTO in stay of the SSA, in which
the location of CNTXW Circle is vacant. e.g. If there is no option to fill
vacant post at Sangamner location in
Ahmednagar district under CNTXW Circle, then JTO junior most in stay of
Ahmednagar SSA will be posted to fill vacant post at CNTXW Sangamner. GM HR MH
CO added that idea behind considering junior most JTO in stay within SSA, is
that in this case there will be no issue of safeguarding long stayed JTOs in
territory of same SSA but in CNTXW Circle. In conclusion he confirmed that
after consideration to Tenure transfers, his second priority will be to fill in
all 12 post of JTOs in CNTXW Circle in within Territory of Maharashtra Telecom
Circle.
3. Consideration to Request Transfers from Non-Tenure
SSAs: GM HR MH CO informed that his third priority is to
give consideration to request transfers from Non-tenure SSAs. He elaborated
that CGMT MH has already conveyed to all that request transfers of all
executives from all Non-tenures SSAs who are completing three years as on
30/06/2021 , will be given consideration. He added that as the request of
executives working at Non tenure stations but are coming in list of posting
substitute at tenure stations will not be given consideration as their names
will be considered for posting at tenure stations. He confirmed that the
request of all executives from Non-tenure stations except due of posting at
tenure stations as substitute will be given consideration during this spell of
transfer’s orders. He added that there
are total 162 requests received by his office in JE/JTO/SDE Cadre and he has
prepared for giving consideration of all these 162 request transfers.
4. Transfers for filling vacant post at SSA having
shortage of Executives: GM HR MH CO added that after giving consideration to
request from Tenure stations, to CNTXW Circle and request from Non-tenure
stations, his last priority is to fill up vacant post at Non Popular SSAs or
SSAs having shortage of executives. He added that the overall availability of
executives in all SSAs will be reviewed after consideration of request from and
to tenure and Non-tenure stations and excess/shortage executives in particular
SSA will be decided. The executives from SSAs having excess executives will be
transferred to SSAs having shortage of executives to fill vacant post by
operating with combined long stay list of JE/JTO/SDEs from SSAs having excess
executive strength and anyone JE or JTO or SDE with longest stay in SSA will be
shifted first and then so on.
5. Application of Criteria of minimum stay in particular
SSA before consideration name of executive for posting substitute to incoming
request: It was asked during discussions on consideration of
request transfers, that as per transfer policy guidelines, the minimum stay of
executive in particular SSA is ten years and same should be maintained. GM HR
MH CO replied that there is no such criteria for giving consideration for
minimum stay of ten years in working SSA, before transfer of executive out of
SSA in transfer policy issued by BSNL Corporate Office. It was brought to
notice of GM HR MH CO that this criteria exists in transfer policy issued by
BSNL CO under clause 11 (a) (4) and there is nothing new in it. After going
through this clause of Transfer Policy, GM HR replied that if this criteria is
followed the request transfers cannot be given consideration. He also added
that after VRS there is much change in scenario and transfers will be issued
more frequently and no one can think for staying at one popular location for
long time as happened in pre-VRS scenario. He added that we GM level Officers
are transferred every three years and till it is better position for other
executives. He was of the opinion that if this ten years criteria is given
consideration then it is not possible to give consideration to request
transfers of executives who have are completing three years as on 30/06/2021.
We have added that this is not issue with all SSAs and it may be issue with
only for Nagpur SSA, where if request of all executives working at Non tenure
Stations is given then executive from Nagpur SSA with stay less than ten years
will be disturbed. We added that if such protections is not given then there
will frequent transfers out of Nagpur SSA and very purpose of getting own cost
transfers to Nagpur will be defeated. We have narrated that there is clause in
transfer policy issued by MH Circle that in case there is no executive with
stay more than ten years available, in such case, request to such SSA should
not be given consideration. GM HR added
that there is no such specific clause available in transfer policy issued by
BSNL CO and he pointed out to bottom line of clause 11 (a) (4) which reads as
‘Notwithstanding above, the Management reserves the right to transfer an
Executive prior to the above specified tenure or to retain him/her beyond the
specified tenure depending on the administrative requirement and in the
interest of the service’. Thus he added that executives with even three years
of service at popular station may be transferred out of SSA. All have raised concerned about such mass
transfers from particular SSA which will create mass unrest among executives.
Intervening discussions, CGMT MH added that it was request of associations to
give consideration to all request transfers and hence it is decided and if
associations stick on this clause of ten years, no request will be given
consideration to such stations. CGMT MH expressed serious concern on drain of
executives strength from MH Circle to All India Hard tenure stations and shared
fear that if these requests are not given consideration to get posting at
popular stations, many more SDEs and DEs will opt for all India Hard Tenure
stations and hence he is of the opinion that there should be feeling among
executives who are working at non-popular stations that their request to
popular stations or their home SSA are given consideration in time bound manner
and they will not opt out of Maharashtra Circle to all India Hard tenure
stations as seen now. He specifically
mentioned that he want to stop outgoing trend of executives from MH Circle and
he needs more executives in MH Circle. He appealed association not be rigid on
ten year criteria and let us give clear signals to executives that request
after three years is given consideration. We have brought to notice of CGMT MH
that this decision will be badly affecting specifically Nagpur SSA as about all
executives in Vidarbha region are opting for Nagpur. There may not be any such
issue for other SSAs and sufficient number of executives with minimum Ten
years’ service exists in these SSAs. If all request to Nagpur SSA are given
consideration in one stroke, there it will be hardly few executives left in
Nagpur SSA and all will be new at a time which may affect overall working of
Nagpur SSA. We added that we will not be rigid on ten years criteria, but there
should be some criteria in the interest of executives working at Nagpur SSA and
also for administrative requirements, that matter should be decided by putting
certain limits of years may be less than ten years. We also requested to review
this criteria depending requests towards Nagpur SSA and in conclusion CGMT MH
directed GM HR to have review of request for Nagpur SSA and discuss with him
accordingly and assured to look into concerned raised by us to reduce number of
transfers from Nagpur SSA.
6. Capping on Maximum Transfers form any particular SSA: In continuation of discussions on transfers towards
popular SSAs, it was pointed out by us that transfers as per transfer policy,
there is capping of maximum 10 % transfers form any SSA and it should be given
consideration. It was also proposed by some representatives about 30% capping
on executive strength of all SSAs to reduce number of transfers. CGMT MH added that he is of the opinion that
there is no need of capping and if it is provided then request transfers will
not be given and it will give rise to more requests for transfers to All India
Hard tenure stations and he want to avoid it and hence he is against any such
capping. Further he added that he has
decided requirement of SSAs as per requests and confirmation with BA Heads and
hence there cannot be capping on the executive strength as proposed.
7. Consideration of Request for retention on medical
grounds: It was requested by some of representatives that there
is discrepancies in given consideration of medical ground requests and it is
not uniformly applied for all executives. In some cases liberal consideration
is given and in some case of request no consideration is given even if certificate
from Civil Surgeon is submitted. Clearing the matter, GM HR informed
that there are well defined guidelines for consideration of medical ground
requests and his office has always given consideration of all such requests. He
added that some of executives are able to get certificate from Civil Surgeon
for illness which are not covered in transfer policy. The transfer policy
states that medical ground consideration is to be given for the cases of
critical illness and associations cannot demand for consideration of medical
ground request on non-critical ground medical request may it be with
certificate from Civil Surgeon. Adding to discussions CGMT MH expressed that
his office is getting many request on medical ground and on name of old age
parents, which cannot be given consideration. He added that it is but natural
that all have old age parents and it will difficult to give consideration to
all such requests of medical grounds of parents. He categorically clarified
that this time request for retention /cancellation of transfer orders will be
given consideration only for critical illness of children of concerned
executives and not for parents, that to be with certificate of Civil Surgeon.
Though all representatives have stressed for consideration of request on
medical grounds of parents, CGMT was firm on decision of not giving
consideration for request on medical ground of parents.
8. Consideration of Request for retention on grounds of
Child education: We have elaborated that there is policy followed in Maharashtra Circle
and it is as per the BSNL transfer policy that the parents who are having wards
studding in 10th and 12th Standard are given retention
till completion of Board examination. Adding to it, GM HR supported this
request and positively added that such request needs to be given consideration.
CGMT MH clarified that it is justified for retention of parents having wards in
12th Standard, but do not agree for wards in 10th
Standard. He added that there is lethargy on part of executives that they are
not planning well in advance and if one has to be with ward during such Board
examination, then they should plan in advance and should not wait for transfers
in year when ward is appearing in board. This has become practice that some
executives are waiting for transfers till board exams and asking retention on
name of Board exams. All are well aware about Board exams and they have to plan
accordingly and its total their responsibility and no excuses can be given
consideration. After elaborate discussions on this point, finally the decision
of CGMT MH was agreed by all that retention will be given to only executives
who are having wards in 12th Standard and no such retention will be
given to executives having wards appearing for any other school/college exams
including Board Exams of 10th standard.
9. Review of Old Transfer Orders kept in abeyance by
Circle Office: When it was asked about the transfer orders kept in
abeyance, GM HR replied that yes, certain transfer orders have been kept in
abeyance when it was brought to his notice that there is change in requirement
of executives where the transfer orders of these executives are issued and when
these executives have requested for change of SSA on transfers. He
categorically added that if there is no requirement in revised calculation of
executive strength, then the transfer orders of such executives will be
reviewed, but they will not be retained at present SSA and they will be
transferred to other SSAs where vacancy exists
10.
Review of Transfer
orders issued for Account wing Executives: It was pointed out that there
are certain issues raised by different associations with respect of the Account
wing transfers and hence these transfers are not implemented and what is status
of these transfers GM HR informed that these transfers will be reviewed as per
the suggestions by associations and on basis of revised vacancy positions. We
have further requested to give consideration to the requests given by
executives in account wing for change of SSA and to take care of discrepancies
pointed out in these transfers. CGMT MH
directed GM HR that he do not want any complaints and all such issues should be
taken care while issuing fresh orders.
11.
Posting of executives to Pune Nodal and consideration of
their names for local transfers within Pune SSA: It was demanded during discussions that Pune Nodal should be treated as
separate SSA and all posting to Pune Nodal should be done from Circle Office
and there should not be any role PGMT Pune. It was also demanded that
executives working at Pune Nodal are having specific technical backgrounds and
they should not be transferred from Pune Nodal to posting in rural area of Pune
SSA on basis of long stay by preparing combined list of Pune SSA and Pune
Nodal. Adding to these discussions, we have put point that it is well defined
process and there is nothing wrong in equally treating all executives within
Territory of SSA. Though there is technical requirement at Pune Nodal, there
should be advance planning for shifting executives in long stay in phased
manner. We also shared that we are not saying for shifting of all Technical
executives from Nodal in one lot and it should be in phased manner for 2-3
executives coming in long stay list. We added that it is not correct that
executives from Pune Nodal are excluded from transfers within Pune SSA and also
from out of Pune SSA. It is injustice to some executives and favour to some
executives and requested for equal treatment for all. In response, CGMT MH clarified that he did
not agree with such proposal of treating Pune Nodal as separate SSA and
informed that all Executives working in Pune Nodal will be part of Pune SSA for
all purpose. Though posting to Pune Nodal may be continued to be done from
Circle Office, while preparation of long stay list of executive for posting in
Pune Rural SSA, office of PGMT Pune will prepare long stay list by adding names
of executives in Pune Nodal/Mobile and whoever is senior in stay at Pune City
area will be transferred to rural area as per his/her turn in the long stay
list. Adding to discussions, GM HR clarified that similarly, if executives from
Pune Nodal is coming in Circle or SSA long stay list then he/she will be
transferred out of Pune SSA or if executive from Pune SSA is coming in
Circle/SSA long stay list then he/she will be transferred from Pune on basis of
combined stay of executives from Pune SSA and Pune Nodal and it will be uniformly
applied for all. He also added that Pune Nodal has to decide on Technical
requirement of their units and make arrangements for sparing such executives
who is coming in long stay list for transfers within Pune SSA or out of Pune
SSA. After elaborate discussions on the subject, the decision of CGMT MH was
agreed by all.
12.
Addition of New Tenure stations in Maharashtra Circle: Some representatives have advocated for addition of
Tenure Stations in Marathwada region and demanded that Parbhani and Nanded SSA
should be declared as Circle tenure station. CGMT MH conveyed that he had
discussions with some representatives and asked GM HR what happened to this
proposal which was to be sent to Corporate Office. GM HR replied that it was
brought to his notice by SNEA that there are certain defined guidelines for
declaring tenure stations and he is searching for these guidelines. As same
guidelines could not be made available, he has not yet prepared or sent any
proposal. He assured CGMT MH to check it again.
One of representative added that in MP Circle recently some stations are
declared as tenure stations and guidelines can be made available from MP
Circle. We have added that even in Maharashtra Circle, we have declared
Nandurbar District as Tenure Station just before few years and guidelines are
rightly available in MH Circle itself. But requested to have review of need of
more tenure stations in Maharashtra Circle. We also added that Tenure stations
are not declared for specific region as demanded for Marathwada region, but it
is as per local conditions of that particular SSA. We have also reminded that
similar proposal have been already received from SSA like Yavatmal, Chandrapur,
Buldhana, Dhule and Osmanabad SSAs for Circle tenure and Yavatmal and Ratnagiri
for all India Soft tenure stations. Some of them are already sent to BSNL CO by
Maharashtra Circle. When matter is not yet decided for these SSAs, further
additions of names other SSAs will create more problems. We also pointed out
that with present six Tenure SSAs in Maharashtra Circle, we have reached at
position that executives at Nagpur SSA are to be transferred with stay of just
three years in Nagpur SSA and if we add more tenure stations it will be
disastrous as it will increase total number of transfers and frequency of
transfers. There is demand for increasing tenure stations as Circle Office is
not giving consideration for request transfers from Non-Tenure stations on
completion of three years and in such cases executives are opting for All
India/Circle Tenure stations. Once Circle Office is firm on consideration of
request transfers from Non-tenure stations, there will be no demand of addition
of Tenure stations and also it will reduce the request from MH Circle to all
India Hard tenure stations. In conclusion, CGMT MH agreed that there is need of
giving consideration to request transfers from non-tenure stations on
completion of three years and this will solve majority of ongoing issues of
adding tenure stations. He specifically agreed with sentiments of the
executives who are working at such unpopular stations and assured to consider
all request transfers from Non-tenure SSAs on completion of three years stay in
SSA so that request out of MH Circle are reduced.
13.
Request for Posting to
Nearby SSAs and to avoid posting at faraway places: During discussions , it was pointed out that some of
executives in Vidarbha area are transferred to SSAs in Kokan area which are at
far away distance and Circle office should give consideration for their posting
in nearby SSAs to avoid hardship to executives on their transfers. GM HR added
that his efforts are always for posting to nearby SSAs, but in many cases there
are no vacancies in nearby SSAs and hence executives are posted at faraway
places. CGMT MH informed that being executive one has to be ready for transfer
at any SSA and one cannot be rigid on posting to nearby SSA. He informed that
though efforts will be done for posting in nearby SSAs, same cannot be assured
firmly as it depends on vacancy position in nearby SSA and one has to be ready
to work in any SSA of Maharashtra Circle as per requirement.
14.
Decision on Centralization or Decentralization of HR
activities of all Vertical in Uniform manner: We have brought to the
notice of CGMT MH that though he has assured for centralized HR activities with
GM HR, same it not followed and till the HR activities of Electrical and Civil
wings are with concerned Vertical Heads. GM HR has published data of executives
in Telecom and Account wing and no data has been published for Electrical and
Civil wing. CGMT MH firmly assured that all works related to transfer posting
will be with GM HR and not with vertical heads and same will be followed
uniformly for all verticals.
15.
Publication of Data of
executive strength and Long stay list for Electrical and Civil wing: We have pointed out that
no action has been taken for consideration of data of executives of Civil and
Electrical wing and executives of both the wings are in dilemma where their
requests will be given consideration or not. In response GM HR informed that he
has already called for options for Civil wings and he was ready with transfer
proposal of Civil wing. But as per directions of CGMT MH to issue all transfers
after March 2021, he has kept this work on hold. He added that as such,
everything is ready for Civil wing executives and transfers can be issued at
any time after approval of CGMT MH. In response to our query for Electrical
wing, GM HR Mumbai informed that he is not aware about it. We have brought to
notice of GM HR and CGMT MH that Electrical wing is working of finalization of
SSA/BA wise executive strength and no options have been called, though stay
particulars were published log back. GM HR informed that he will take review of
matter and assured that options for Electrical wing also be called. We have
specifically asked, where the options will be called by Electrical wing or by Staff section, GM
HR informed that options will be called by staff section and not by Electrical
wing.
16.
Consideration to JTO/JAO
Rule 8/ Rule 9 transfers: We have raised issue of
pending request transfers of JTOs and JAOs and requested for early
consideration of it and also to reduce the number of such executives while
calculating executive strength of concerned SSA. It was also strongly supported
by some other representatives. But GM HR informed that due to acute shortage of
executives in Maharashtra Circle, CGMT MH has decided not to give consideration
to any request transfers under Rule 8 or Rule 9. We have responded that it is
not correct as many of the request have been already given consideration and in
majority of cases of Rule 8 transfers consent also has been received from
concerned Circle and all are eagerly waiting for their orders from Circle
Office. CGMT MH also added that when there is shortage in MH Circle how we can
send our executives out of Circle. Also many of JTOs have already left BSNL and
if we give consideration to request under Rule 8 there will be further
reduction. It was brought to notice of CGMT MH that there are only few request
of JTOs and JTOs under Rule 8 transfers which are in range of 15 to 20 and if
consideration is given to these requests, there will not be much overall effect
in working strength. Then GM HR added that many of JTOs/JAOs are working on
deputation on Rule 9 and he will write to letters to all such circles to call
back to JAOs/JTOs on deputation. Once some of JTOs/JAOs are joining back to MH
Circle, he will give consideration to equal number of Rule 8 transfers from MH
Circle. We have added that it has no relation with Rule 8 transfers as these
JTOs/JAOs has completed five years and their request is already delayed
and needs immediate consideration. GM HR
informed that if any JTO/JAO is joining in MH Circle, on Rule 8 request
transfers then equal number of Rule 8 request of JTOs/JAOs from MH Circle will
be given consideration. We requested CGMT MH to give sympathetic consideration
to all these Requests under Rule 8 as good number of JTOs and JAOs are
available in Maharashtra Circle as compared to many other Circles. These
requests are already delayed for different reasons and further delay will be
injustice to these executives and need review of decision and consider all Rule
8 transfers. In conclusion, CGMT MH
assured to review the Rule 8 request transfers and assured to consider it in
phase manner with case by case review.
17.
Republication of
updated data of SSA wise Long stay lists of executives of all wings in excel
sheet: It was once again request
to publish updated stay particulars of all executives. GM HR was of the opinion
that once data was published and there is no need of again publishing it. WE have elaborated that many of the
executives have submitted details for corrections of stay particulars and it is
not clear to these executives where his request is given consideration or not.
As such it is required that updated data of stay particulars showing only SSA
stay of executives in descending order of stay in particular SSA may be
published once again. CGMT MH asked GM HR, where it possible to publish updated
data. GM HR informed that same has been updated and there is no issue in
publishing it on his side. Finally CGMT MH informed that updated data of stay
particulars may be published for information of all concerned.
18.
Publication of list of
Request for transfers received by Staff section: Weave requested CGMT MH
for publishing list of request transfers received by the Staff section giving
time for withdrawal of request if any one desires so and also for awareness of
executives. GM HR informed that there is no need of the publication of this
list and it is also not fare to give chance and time to withdraw request. CGMT
MH specifically asked why we are asking for publishing list of Request as it is
being given consideration. We have brought to notice of CGMT MH that options
are called by email and no acknowledgement is given to any request from staff
side. Further there are chances that email or names of some executives may be
left while consolidation of requests as human error and if list is published
this data will be purified and updated. It is also not clear, about status of
request already received before recent options called by staff section. Hence to avoid any complaint /issue at later
stage, the data of the request transfers received by Staff section needs to be
published. CGMT MH informed that hopefully all such request are given
consideration and it is not required to publish as demanded. But it can be
shared with associations on their request and they may confirm missing names or
corrections if any and bring it to notice of staff section at the earliest.
19.
Publication of correct SSA wise Executive strength in
transparent manner: We have narrated that there is confusion in present
SSA wise executive strength published by Staff section. It is not clear where
the working strength in any SSAs is shown correct or not. Also the format used
for publishing data for shortage/Excess of executives in any SSA is not giving
factual figures. There is much confusion in understanding exact working
strength in particular SSA and what is vacancy position. We have added that
earlier this data was published in transparent manner as Justified Strength,
Working strength (Regular + Adhoc + Looking After =Total), and excess/shortage.
This was real transparent working and present published data is not given any
clear idea. CGMT MH informed that he has decided Executives justified strength
as per his discussions with BA/SSA Heads by special VC along with GM HR. He
want to give consideration to the view of BA/SSA Heads and he has practically
noted that in some of SSAs, there is acute shortage and some of SSA are having
excess executives. He has scrapped earlier formula for calculation of executive
strength by adopting different points. He informed that there is no need of any
corrections in justified strength. We have responded that we have no issue on
present justified executive strength as decided by him in consultation with
SSA/BA Heads. We are requesting for sowing working strength in each SSA and then
excess shortage so that we arrive at practical figures of excess and shortage
of executives in particular SSA. CGMT MH asked GM HR where such data can be
published, GM HR informed that it can be published. Finally CGMT MH directed to
publish Executive strength of all SSAs in transparent manner showing justified
posts, working strength and excess and shortage in cadre or group of
cadres.
20.
Confusion on inclusion of ADOL/JTO Arch in long Stay list: It was brought to notice
of CGMT MH that while publishing long stay list of JTOs/SDEs the names of few
ADOLs are added and names of many ADOLs were excluded. We requested for
adopting uniform policy for all ADOL and either names of all ADOL should be
added in long stay list or names of all should be removed from the list.
Similarly names of JTO Arch are not given consideration. GM HR informed that
stay particulars of all ADOL are included in the list as they are also now
being allotted works of JTOs/SDEs of Telecom wing. WE have categorically
pointed out how the names of certain officers are missing from the list. GM HR
informed that the missing names will be added in the long stay list and names
of JTO Arch also will be added in the long stay list of JE/JTO/SDE.
21.
Addition of names of Executives of Telecom
Factory Mumbai in Long stay list: WE have brought to the
notice of CGMT MH that while counting long stay of the executives, the names of
Account wing executives in TF Mumbai are taken into consideration, but names of
JTOs/SDEs and DEs in TF Mumbai are not taken into consideration. Now TF Mumbai
is BA of MH Circle and their names needs to be added in the list at par with
other JTOs/SDEs/DEs. GM HR informed that the executives working at Telecom
Factory are recruited for different type of works as that of Electrical and
Civil wing as they cannot be transferred as are not aware about the Telecom
works and their works cannot be substituted to executives from other wings as
not possible to interchange works of Electrical and Civil wing. We have drawn
attention of GM HR that the executives from Telecom wing are also posted in
Telecom Factory and there are many works in Telecom which can be assigned to
these executives as being allotted to Executives from Civil/Electrical/Arch and
even from Account wing. As such, names of all such executives should be added
in the list. GM HR informed that he will review it , but names of executives
specially recruited for Telecom Factory works will not be included in the long
stay list, but the names of executives in Telecom and others wings will be
included in the long stay lists.
22.
Counting names of
executives working on deputation from MH Circle to CNTXW /TERM cell: We have pointed out that names of the many
executives who are working on deputation to CNTXW and TERM cell in same SSA are
missing in the long stay list. GM HR informed that all names are included in
the long stay list and he is not aware about any name on deputation to CNTXW
Circle. About executives on deputation to TERM Cell, he informed that posting
to TERM Cell is done for fixed period and their names cannot be included in the
long stay list. Adding to discussions, CGMT MH has informed that their
deputation id decided by DoT and recently extension of three years is issued by
DoT and hence their names cannot be included in the long stay list. We have
elaborated that DOT has not issued retention of specific officers and when
officer in in long stay, his name is always included in long stay. Earlier also
officers in long stay were included in the list and their transfer order was
issued and substitute were posted against them from other willing executives.
TERM Cell also is and cannot insist for continuation of Longest Executive on
deputation and they relieve the said officer when substitute is posted. We
categorically given examples in past and hos the long stayed transfers are
implemented for Executives on deputation to TERM Cell. We also added that
certain executives in SDE cadre on deputation to CNTXW Circle are enjoying
privilege by excluding their names from ling stay list and other junior in stay
are being transferred on name of long stay. Finally CGMT MH directed GM HR
Mumbai to add names of the executives on deputation to TERM and CNTX or other
Non-recruiting Circles/Units in long
stay list as per their turn and issue transfer orders accordingly if his/her
name appears under zone of consideration.
23.
Request of JTOs/JAOs
for Non-recruiting Circles like BBNW, ITPC, and Insp etc: We have brought to the
notice of CGMT MH about disparity in considering request of JTOs/JAOs to
non-recruiting Circles. The request of some executives are pending for
non-recruiting Circles and same needs to be given consideration. It was pointed
out that some of executives from JTO to AGM Cadres in long stay are taking
shelter in such non-recruiting units by asking request transfers and others in
Telecom Circle are transferred out of SSAs on basis of long stay transfers. It
was specifically pointed out for posting for BBNW and ITPC at Pune. CGMT MH
directed that at present the transfers within MH Telecom Circle will be decided
and this issue can be discussed and decided separately later.
24.
Clarification on inclusion on award winners information of
executives while preparations of long stay list: We have drawn attention
of GM HR on letter dated 01/03/2021, wherein it is directed to add information
about awards received by executives in ERP/SAP under OTP Module and these
directions are issued for updating data for consideration of long stay
transfers. It is not clear where there is any change in transfer policy or it
has been decided to exclude names of award winner executives from long stay
list or these executives will be granted immunity from transfers. GM HR
informed that there is no such letter and we have responded that there is
letter and if required we will share its copy with him. Copy <<<>>>. Finally, GM HR informed that
there is no change in transfer policy and it is just consolidation of data of
awards received by executives and their names will continued to be added in the
long stay list and they also will be transferred at par with other executives.
25.
Uniform applicability
of transfer grant in policy manner and stopping its pick and choose
applicability: WE have brought attention of the meeting about
disparity among the executives applied by Circle Office in considering transfer
on company cost. We have explained with examples how it is injustice to certain
executives posted to Tenure station and how they are compelled to join at own
cost and how transfer grant is liberally granted even for transfers without
change of residence. WE have elaborated that this has created mass unrest among
executives and demanded for uniform applicability of transfer grant to all in
equal manner and its applicability on pick and choose manner should be stopped.
GM HR informed that the executives who are posted to tenure stations as per request
of executives when there is no vacancy at tenure stations and transfer grant is
given to all who are posted against vacant posts. GM HR added that there is no
disparity at all. WE have given classic examples of liberal distribution of
transfer grant to all when there is no vacancy exist. We have brought to notice
of GM HR that when JAOs/AOs from Circle Office are transferred out of Mumbai on
name of excess, then how can be transfer towards Mumbai is given consideration
at Company cost. WE also elaborated other examples and brought to notice of
CGMT MH that we have given all such cases in writing but till there is no
action. Intervening in the matter CGMT MH expressed that there should not be
any allegations and we have to work in fare manner. He specifically directly GM
HR to look into all written letter wherein associations have raised grievances
and settle it. He further directed that if any of the grievances raised by
association is not factual, then same should be explained to them and genuine
grievances should be given consideration well within transfer policy. He
categorically mentioned that he do not want to see any grievances, complaints
and allegations once transfer orders are issued and directed GM HR to take care
of all such issues before issuing transfer orders.
26.
Undue delay in
consideration of refusals under DGM LA arrangements: We have brought to notice
of CGMT MH that there is undue delay in consideration of refusal of DGM LA and
requested for giving consideration to it. GM HR informed that refusal are as
good as accepted and it will be taken care in next spell. CGMT MH intervened
and said that let us discuss only about transfer posting related issues and
other such issues can be discussed later.
27.
Confusion created on
the Tenure stations for Account wing and confirmation thereof: We have once again drawn
attention of all towards disparity created in Tenure stations for Account wing
in Maharashtra Circle. GM HR informed that there is no disparity about Tenure
stations in Account wing and they are same as that of Telecom wing. We have
narrated that then such order should be issued and applicability of Tenure
facilities should be revised by cancellation of order on the subject and also
there is need to post substitute from Circle Level long stay for posting at
Tenure Stations and same is not followed uniformly for all. GM HR informed that
the Circle long stay criteria has been followed while posting at Tenure
stations and we have categorically brought to his notice that in our letter we
have submitted every details of such issues. We also added that there is need
of official letter for change of tenure stations and after such orders only
tenure stations for account wing can be changed from prospective date. GM HR
informed that there is no such order declaring tenure stations for account wing
and we have replied that there is order for same and we have already submitted
its copy along with the letter on grievances of Account wing transfers. Copy <<<>>>. GM HR asked its copy once again and assured to issue
revised orders and clarified that Tenure stations for Account wing and Telecom wing
will be same and it is also applicable for Electrical and Civil wings
also. He also assured to post substitute
for request transfers from tenure station from Circle ling stay list including
Account wing.
28.
Competent Authority to issue LA arrangements: WE have informed that
there is confusion among the executives who is competent authority to issue
Looking After arrangements in different cadres in Maharashtra Circle. Some of
Looking after orders are issued by BA Heads and some are being issued by Circle
office and in many cases duplication of works exists, which need to be avoided
and there should be clear instructions and same should be followed. GM HTR
informed that henceforth Looking After arrangements for post of DE and DGMs
will be issued by Circle Office and Looking After arrangements for SDE and
below cadres will be issued by BA Heads and it will be followed strictly.
29.
Independent working of
JTOs in all SSAs/Units: During discussions on Looking After arrangements it
was discussed and directed by GM HR that SDE LA orders are to be issued by SSA
Heads and he added that there may not be any need of LA arrangement in SDE
Cadre as now strength of JTO/SDE is being counted together and both posts are
interchangeable. We have demanded for direct reporting of all JTOs to AGMs as
already orders are issued by BSNL CO for same or all JTOs should be given SDE
LA charge as many of them are carrying responsibilities of SDE and even higher
cadres and their works should be respected by given them designation of SDE.
CGMT MH informed that it is to be decided by BA Heads about SDE LA and it is
not possible that in all cases JTOs should be directly reporting to AGMs. He
given privilege to BA Heads and they may decide on giving SDE LA arrangements
or directly reporting to AGMs. In conclusion, CGMT MH informed that wherever
possible SDE LA and direct reporting of JTOs to AGMs will be implemented by BA
Heads.
30.
Orders for SDE LA in
Electrical wing: We have drawn attention
of CGMT MH on disparity created by Electrical wing by stopping LA arrangements
only in SDE cadre and how regular SDEs are facing heavy workload of two to four
SDEs that to be from far away stations and how it practically difficult to take
such heavy responsibility by few SDEs available in Electrical wing. CGMT MH
asked us to submit details in writing and assured to review the matter on the
feedback.
31.
Chain or mutual
transfers to nearby SSAs: It was pointed out by one of representatives that
while considering request to Circle Office Mumbai, only names of executives
from Kalyan SSA are given consideration and requests from other SSAs are not
given consideration as if there is lock on request transfers to Mumbai from
SSAs other than Kalyan and only request from Kalyan to Mumbai is given
consideration. We have added that there is no base on this say as request from
all SSAs are also given consideration to Mumbai and may be fact that request
from and to Kalyan and Mumbai are more. GM HR denied this allegation and
clarified that there is no lock on transfers from other SSAs and it can be seen
that in recent past many Executives from Nashik, Pune and other SSAs who have
requested for Circle Office are given consideration and have joined Circle
Office Mumbai and naturally there are more requests between Kalyan and Mumbai
and hence given consideration. He added that similar requests are given
consideration between Pune and Satara and in many other SSAs in similar manner
as more requests are received for such locations and nearby SSAs. GM HR firmly
assured that there is no lock on transfers to any SSA and all request with
completion of three years will be given consideration.
32.
Consideration of Feedback given by
associations: In conclusion of
meeting CGMT MH directed GM HR to take note of all representations received
from individual and from Associations and get it incorporated in time bound
manner before issuing transfers. He specifically mentioned that he do not like
allegations and we are here to work together. He advised association’s leaders
not to make allegations and maintain harmony. He informed that the genuine
suggestions of associations are always welcome and assured that all genuine
suggestions will be given consideration.
33.
Care and Precautions
to be taken during pandemic: We have requested CGMT MH for giving consideration for
genuine issues of executives and staff working in pandemic situation. We
conveyed him that for allowing flexibility and till there are certain issues
which needs his intervention. CGMT MH
replied that situation is worsening due to pandemic and Telecom being Essential
services, we have to put our efforts for maintaining fault free services but at
the same time we have to take all precautions for safety of our safety and
officers working in field units. He appealed all to take total precautions and
follow all norms decided by Government authorities. He added that BA/SSA Heads
are empowered to take decision at local level to meet all such situations and
we have to maintain services at the same time save ourselves from pandemic and
we have no alternative arrangements.
34.
Grant of Temporary
Advances for sanitization: We have again drawn attention of CGMT MH on non-grant of
Temporary Advances for works related to precautions safety of offices by sanitization
and cleanliness arrangements. CGMT MH informed that he has already passed on
instructions to GM Fin Mumbai for clearing all Temporary advances for
Sanitation and works related to pandemic and all such advances are being
approved. He firmly assured that Temporary advances specially requested for
sanitization and activities related to pandemic will be approved and there will
not be any issue and all should submit their request with this specific
reason. CGMT MH further informed that
this meeting was specially discuss the issues related to proposed transfer
posting and clear all doubts and take suggestions from associations for issuing
transfer orders in transparent and fare manner.
35.
Support to the family
members of BSNL executives/staff who passed away due to pandemic COVID: We requested CGMT MH to extend supporting hands to the
family members of the working executives and employees of BSNL Maharashtra
Circle who passed away due to pandemic by all means, We specifically requested
to settle all their pending medical claims and claims of GTI, insurance or with
BSNL so that it will be supportive to family members of who are facing
hardship. CGMT MH firmly assured to settled all such cases and requests with
top most priority.
36.
Two minute silence to
departed souls: Before conclusion of
meeting, we have suggested for two minute silence for departed souls who have
passed away in recent past and specifically to late Shri. Prashant Zingade,
JTO Solapur, late Shri. R.M Pradhan GM Solapur and late Shri. S. S. Bansod, SDE

overcoming ongoing crises due to pandemic. There is need of focus on
development activities. He firmly assured for transparent working and to have
minimum disturbance to executives but stressed on need to meet shortage of
executives being faced by certain SSAs as per his discussions with concerned BA
Heads.
·
In conclusion, we have
conveyed thanks to Shri. Ramakant Sharma,
CGMT MH for arranging such meeting specially discuss issues related to transfer
posting and giving ample time to suggestions given by SNEA and other
associations. We also conveyed thanks to Shri. Aman Jaiswal GM HR MH CO for discussions all such

We also conveyed thanks

19 APR 21: DGM Admn Mumbai endorsed BSNL instructions with respect
to Operation and maintenance and functioning of administrative offices in view
of spread of COVID 19 pandemic in India with directions to SSA/BA/Vertical
Heads for allowing flexible working. Letter <<<>>>
·
There is confusion crated by some of individuals that where
the BSNL CO guidelines are applicable to in Maharashtra Circle or not. In this
regards, it may be noted that BSNL CO has delegated powers to Circle Heads and
CGMT MH has further delegated powers to SSA/BA/Vertical Heads for flexible
working.
·
This letter is endorsed as it with more flexibility to
SSA/BA/Vertical Heads. The very
intention in allowing flexible working is that BSNL being essential services,
one has to take care of services at the same time he/she has to safeguard
himself/herself from second wave of pandemic. Either from Home or from Office,
one has to complete the office works by all possible manner.
·
In same lines, starting from HR/Admn Vertical Circle Office
Mumbai, AGM Admn Mumbai has issued orders for allowing working from home and
Office on alternate days for all Officials and Officers below E5 pay scale and
officers with E5 and above will continue to attend office on day to day basis. Order <<<>>>
·
Similar action is required and will be surely taken by other
Vertical Heads /BA Heads allowing similar flexible working as per instructions
of BSL CO endorsed by Maharashtra Circle.
·
One has to understand that we are passing through very
difficult time as number of positive cases have been increased in last
fortnight and we have lost some of our colleagues who were working at front and
also lost many of retired Officers/Officials.
·
Though our priority should be completion of works, but one
has to take care of his life first and not to put life in risk at least till
next fortnight, by which it is expected that situation will be under control.
·
We all have seen during last year, that under similar
situation we can give better output by working from Home and at the same time
can safeguard ourselves, family members and colleagues from getting infected by
COVID as survival during this difficult and critical situation has become first
priority for all.

works are pending as all officers in staff section were tested positive and
undergoing treatment for COVID 19. Before that GM HR was on leave for 15 days
and as such basic works for consideration and issuing transfer posting is not
yet completed.
·
It is good that all the three ADs
i.e. AD Staff A Mumbai, AD Staff B Mumbai and AD Staff C Mumbai dealing with transfer
posting have been fully recovered from Coved 19 and have joined duties back
since 15/04/2021. DGM Legal and GM HR Mumbai have also been recovered and
discharged from hospital and they are expected to join duties by next week.

We have discussed details with Shri. K. H. More DGM Admn Mumbai who is looking after Charge of GM HR Mumbai during leave period
and he has informed that his team is working on the request and corrections
received and most probably by next week the updated/corrected data of stay
particulars and consolidated list of requests received by staff section will be
published.
·
As all the ADs have joined duties,
they have started works for updating stay particulars as per request received
from individuals and also consolidation of requests/willingness for transfers
as called by letters dated 03/04/2021 for Telecom and Account wing.
·
He further informed that other
issues raised by SNEA MH about stay particulars and issues related to transfer
posting will be looked into by GM HR Mumbai after joining duties back which is

to have some more patience due to critical issues and bear with the difficulties arising in issuing transfer posting but be assured that

Office by all officers in Staff section, by end of April 2021, some conclusive
action on transfer posting will be taken by CGMT MH Circle.

16 APR 21: Jt GM Pers SM BSNL CO writes all CGMs conveying
opening of window of OTP (Online
Transfer Portal) for consideration of Inter Circle request transfers in SDE and
above Cadres. Letter <<<>>>
·
As per this letter the OTP window will be opened from
16/04/2021 to 30/04/2021.
·
Henceforth all inter circle Request will be considered only
through this online method on quarterly basis and manual request for inter
circle transfers if any will not be given consideration.
·
Individuals in need of request transfers have to submit
online request through their ESS Login ID within this open period of window.
·
This Request can be withdrawn till it is not approved and
request once approved cannot be withdrawn and hence one has to be careful and
submit request only if he/she is interested to join said station/Circle if
request is considered and orders are issued.
·
Next requests will be given consideration in next quarters
and hence one has to plan accordingly and submit request only if he/she is in
need of request transfer.
·
All the officers in grade SDE and above who have earlier
applied through proper channel in hard copy but their request is not yet given
consideration by BSNL CO or who have submitted request but not yet forwarded by
Controlling Officers, BA/ SSA Heads or by Circle Office may apply fresh through
this Online Transfer Portal on safer side along with copies of earlier
correspondence to avoid any issues at later stage as no cost is involved in it
and request is to be submitted online.
·
This is one more step towards paperless working and very
good initiatives by BSNL CO towards transparent dealing with inter Circle
Transfers in SDE and above cadres.
·
It will definitely save time of different offices/officers
in recommending and forwarding all such requests by repeated letters and now
request submitted online by individual is first to be recommended by BA Heads
and then by GM HR of Circle and it will directly reach to BSNL CO for
consideration.
·
This request will be given consideration or rejected within
fixed period of three months of said Quarter and during entire process he said
individual who has submitted request can check status of his request through
his/her ESS login and no need to pursue with concerned officers/offices as the
concerned officers i.e. BA Head/GM HR are given fixed time frame for
recommending such online requests.
·
If this Inter Circle Transfers are implemented successfully
in first quarter, then by next quarter this process may be implemented for
Circle level request transfers also as this is need of time.

section continuously only for period of three years at one place and maximum
six years at two different places.
·
While posting same officer back to
Vigilance section, cooling period of three years is to be observed i.e.
officers shifted out of Vigilance section cannot be posted back before

boost the FTTH growth in Maharashtra Circle but now only Akola SSA s added in
earlier names of five SSAs viz. Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, Goa and Ahmednagar.

The representations, through proper
channel for corrections in stay particulars if any along with request for grant
of immunity from transfer along with documentary evidences are to be sent
latest by 30/04/2021.
·
This data will be used for issuing
Inter Circle transfer orders of SDEs in Civil either for posting substitute
against request transfers from All India Hard Tenure Stations, request from
Non-Tenure Stations and also to meet shortage of executives in SDE Cadre in
different Circles.
·
As such, all concerned executives
have to check stay particulars and represent corrections required if any or for
grant of immunity from Transfer as per BSNL Transfer policy guidelines.

for information in prescribed format about top Ten SDEs/AGMs/DEs with longest
stay in Circle and having age below 55
Years as on 31/03/2022 for posting in all India Hard Tenure stations. Letter <<<>>>
·
These details are used for posting
substitute at All India Hard Tenure Stations against the executives who are
completing their tenure and requesting for transfers or shortage of executives
in these stations if any.
·
This data is to be sent by Circles
latest by 19/04/2021.
·
It has been clearly mentioned that
exemption from transfer if any as per BSNL Transfer policy i.e. executives
having immunity from transfer under PH Category, holding prominent post in
union/association, executives undergoing medical treatment for critical illness
of self/family and having responsibility of mentally retarded wards is to be
conveyed to BSNL CO and one has to submit request for same, if his/her name
appears in TOP ten list of longest stayed officers from Circle.
·
As per BSNL transfer Policy, female
executives are not posted to All India Hard Tenure stations but willing
executives are encouraged for such posting. Hence the names of female
executives will be removed from the list or names are included, then same will
not be considered for posting at All India hard tenure station, till said
executive do not submit the request.
·
Hence female executives also are
having immunity for transfer to all India Hard Tenure Stations and hence female
executives have to identify their posting in the Top Ten list by excluding all
names which will not be considered for posting to all India Hard Tenure
stations.
·
Since last year , it is seen that
large number of SDEs from Maharashtra Circle are opting for All India Hard
Tenure stations at J&K and A&N Circles and long stay list is operated
only in case of All India Hard Tenure stations in NE-I, NE-II and Assam Circles.
·
In AGM/DE Cadre there is less
requirement of executives at all these Tenure Stations and in this cadre also
some of executives from Maharashtra have opted for Tenure stations and hence
only few of them are posted at Tenure stations and till request of some of
AGMs/DEs is not given consideration.
·
Maharashtra Circle has published
data of Circle Long stay while calling for willingness and this list will be
used to decide TOP Ten SDEs and AGMs/DEs and hence SDEs and AGMs/DEs are
required to check this data and also data of stay particulars in ERP and see
that it is correct and updated.
·
If there are any issues,
corrections, same may be please brought to the notice of SSA or Circle
Staff/Admn sections and get it corrected well within time. Once transfer order
is issued on basis of these stay particulars, it is hard job to get it
cancelled and hence one has to be alert and check his/her stay particulars well
within time.
7 APR 21: SDE EP Mumbai issued orders for giving additional charge
to all Regular SDE Electrical in Maharashtra Circle as all other SDEs who were
giving higher responsibility under looking after arrangements are reverted and
no extension or fresh orders for SDE LA
arrangements are being issued due to some unresolved administrative
issues. Letter <<<>>>
·
From content of letter, it seems to be regular and permanent
order for additional charge as no time frame is mentioned in this letter.
·
The SDE LA arrangements in Electrical wing of Maharashtra
Circle has been always matter of conflict for one or another reasons.
·
Earlier it was issue that Looking After was not given as per
guidelines issued by BSNL Corporate Office, then it was issue of excess posting
of SDEs in small SSAs and not filling even single vacancy in some of prominent
SSAs/BAs under Looking After arrangements, then giving additional charge at
faraway places even under Looking After arrangements.
·
From all such orders creating confusion and unrest among the
executives in Electrical wing, it seems
that EE EP and concerned officers in Circle administration are always under
certain confusion or keeping something different in mind every time while SDE
LA orders are due or being issued.
·
On all such issues SNEA MH has raised concern and all such
issues were brought to the notice of all concerned officers from SDE EP, EEE
EP, SEE, CEE, GM HR and to CGMT MH Circle and all have agreed to concern
expressed by SNEA MH and assured to have review of all these issues and it was
expected that this time all the issues will be taken care and SDE LA orders
will be issued as per the BSNL guidelines on the subject.
·
But meantime, one of JTO Electrical has raised demand that
he is posted under SDE LA who is junior to him and requested for giving higher
responsibility as SDE LA. But Administration is not interested to give such
responsibility and have reverted the said SDE under whom this senior JTO was
posted and since then efforts are made that no SDE LA should be given to this
JTOE.
·
Hence it seems that Electrical wing has decided not to give
any fresh order for SDE Elect post under
LA arrangement and these Regular SDEs are given additional charge
thereby increasing their workload minimum two time to four times.
·
One can understand charge of other sub division in same
location is given as additional charge to SDE at same location or even same
SSA/BA, but here charge of SDE in one SSA under one BA is given to SDE working
in another SSA/BA which is at far away distance thereby increasing difficulties
of these Regular SDEs to take burden of such additional responsibility with any
extra reimbursement.
·
In these strange arrangements, SDEE Amaravati is given additional charge of
SDEE Jalgaon, SDEE Wardha is given
charge of SDEE Nanded, , SDEE Nashik is
given charge of SDEE Ahmednagar and SDEE Pune is give charge of more three
SDEEs in Pune , SDEE Sangli is given
charge of total three subdivisions that to be in in Goa BA. Now it will be
question in front of SDEE Sangli where to look at original responsibility of
one Sub division at Sangli to shift to Goa BA to take care of additional
responsibilities of three sub divisions.
·
It is also not clear where these SDEE post will exist as per
restructuring plan or some of these posts will be abolished and new post will
be cleared, but till this rearrangements are issued in thump rule arrangement.
·
These SDEEs already have excess charge of SSAs/BAs and now
are given additional burdon of more two to three subdivisions and how they can
give justice if workload which is increased four times and when there is no
subordinate manpower and resources available.
·
What about the dignity and respect of these SDEs who are
being reverted just due to compliant/request as per guidelines of senior not to
be posted under junior by one of JTO and
stand of administration not to give charge of SDE LA to this complainants by
using administrative tricks.
·
There may be any other reason for not giving any extension
or fresh SDEE LA , but all these reasons are well within control of
administration , but just to overcome compliant, it seems to be decided that no
SDE LA orders should be given in electrical wing.
·
SNEA MH was aware about these activities as we have
preliminary discussions with EEEP Mumbai and SEE Mumbai and both have expressed
their difficulties and have requested us to discuss with CEE Mumbai. We have
requested for time from CEE Mumbai but due to fear of COVID 19 and more number
of Corona positive cases reported, till time is not given by CEE Mumbai.
·
As reported earlier, GM HR Mumbai is also on leave as tested
positive and hence the issues cannot be discussed with him also.
·
SNEA MH will once again try to take up this issue with CEE
Mumbai and CGMT MH for overall review of working of Electrical wing and to have
orders respecting dignity of executives in Electrical wing and not in such
manner creating more and more difficulties to certain executives. Let us hope that
in days to come some genuine arrangement is made for filling all these vacant
post of SDEEs in Maharashtra Circle.

6 APR 21: DGM HR/Legal
Mumbai published data of SSA wise vacancy position cum number of executives in
groups i.e. AGM/DGM, JE/JTO/SDE and JAO/AO, stay particulars of executives
working in this groups and calling for willingness for request transfers from
the executives who have completed or will be completing three years of services
in the present/working SSA. Telecom
Wing <<<>>> Account Wing <<<>>>
·
In continuation of assurance given by CGMT MH Circle during
last meeting, this data is published showing excess shortage in different SSA
and stay particulars of the executives along with JEs.
·
This data is published for Telecom and Account wing and
works for Civil and Electrical wing are under progress and hopefully the data
of Electrical and Civil wing will also be published in this week.
·
It was expected that data will be published by mid or end of
March 21, but due to more Corona Positive cases in Staff section Mumbai and mainly
all officers in Staff section from AD to GM HR have been tested Corona Positive
during last fortnight, the work has been delayed somewhat.
·
But till by overcoming
all hurdles and own issues, GM HR
has prepared this data and same has been approved by CGMT MH and published in
First week of April 2021 for information of all and calling for willingness and
own cost request transfers.
·
This shows firm belief that this year the request transfers
which are pending for last one year will be given consideration including fresh
requests if any and only condition is that one has to complete three years in
Non-Tenure SSA and two years in tenure SSA as on 30/06/2021.
·
Publication of vacancy and stay particulars if first step
towards the starting process of request transfers and with this hopes of many
executives for consideration of request transfers has been increased and at the
same time fear in minds of many executives has been increased about their
transfers on basis of long stay to meet shortages in different SSAs.
·
It was also expected that data of request transfers received
by Staff section Mumbai will also be published along with this vacancy position
and stay particulars as assured by CGMT MH, but same is not published and it is
confusion in minds of these officers, where they have to submit fresh
willingness or their earlier willingness will be given consideration.
·
As per normal practice, all such willingness are given
consideration but till we will confirm from concerned officers and will update
details very shortly and well within time of submission of willingness i.e.
09/04/2021 as given in these both letters.
·
It is unfortunate that since last one year, such
data has been repeatedly published and every time there is change in vacancy
position and there was no uniform policy applied and this wrong data has been
always reason for delaying request transfers. But we believe, this time it will
be given consideration by updating required corrections in time.
·
These issues related to correctness of data was raised
by SNEA MH with earlier CGMT MH and with present CGMT MH and time to time
corrections are made but it is seen that till there are many issues with this
data published and correction done also are not appearing in this list.
·
It is seen that names of officers are shown in
different SSA than the present/ working SSA and SSA/Circle stay of many of the
officers is shown wrong.
·
Since last 2-3 years, this preparation of data is
done by GM HR directly and there is no one to correct it. Earlier this data was
consolidated by ADs/AGMs and it was checked by DGM HR, GM HR and finally
approved by CGMT MH. It was also followed that such data was internally sent to
SSA/BA Heads for confirmation and purified data was published.
·
But as these checking counterchecking part is
withdrawn from the work culture of Staff section and directly data is
consolidated by GM HR without no further corrections, there are always mistakes
in data and this time also same are continued. No one except GM HR Mumbai is
aware about the issues in data and for each and every corrections matter needs
to be reached to GM HR and then only correction is possible.
·
Many of the executives who have represented and
who are continuously representing for last one and half year for correction of
data in ERP, now it is seen that said data is till not corrected.
·
Also there are certain issues in vacancy position
published and unfortunately different pattern is used or publishing the vacancy
position and the information published is not in transparent manner as assured
by CGMT MH.
·
The request of SNEA MH to publish data in
ascending orders of SSA/Circle stay is given consideration and data is
separately published in two annexure i.e. 1 and 2 for each cadre/group.
·
As per our discussions with CGMT MH, it was informed
that he is of the opinion that there is need of more executives in field units
than the offices and hence he has discussed requirement with all SSA/BA Heads
and decided how much executives are required in particular SSA and how much are
required in Offices like Circle Office.
·
SNEA MH also has appreciated his concern and it
was expected that data will be published showing Justified strength, Working
Strength (Regular/Adhoc and LA) and excess/shortage, but in twisting manner in
continuation of earlier attempts by GM HR Mumbai data is published in different
formats for different wings and cadres and there is much confusion after data
is published.
·
This can be checked from classic example of data
published for AGMs/DGMs. As per list published under Annexure A1 and A2 of this
letter, there are total 113 AGMs working
in Telecom wing of entire Maharashtra Circle, but total working AGMs are shown
as 204 (Total 195 in SSAs and 9 in Mobile) and vacancy shown are total eight.
When there are only 113 AGMs available and how the figure of working AGMs is
shown as 204 is not understood.
·
It is
shown that number of AGMs/DGMs working in different SSA but practically the
number of working AGMs/DGMs in particular SSA is less than the shown working.
·
This is case with other cadres and account wing
also and we are consolidating the details and will definitely pursue for
corrective action and further clarification required for submission of
willingness by the concerned executives.
·
SNEA MH has received hundreds of queries from its
members and District Office Bearers about the issues in data and method of
publishing data and we have also noted certain issues in this data of stay
particulars and vacancy position and will be brought to notice of CGMT MH and
concerned Officers and we will try our level best to get it corrected and once
again pursue with CGMT MH for total transparency in publishing data and not in
the manner done now. Let us hope for the best.
·
Since last three weeks entire officers in staff
section i.e. AD Staff A, AD Staff B, AD Staff C and DGM Legal are affected and tested Corona Positive and
except DGM legal all are recovered and most probably some of them are expected
to join duties today. Hence this work was expected to be delayed but by
overcoming all these odd, the works are started. We appreciate the spirit of
these officers and devotion to duties during this difficult period also.
·
As on today, Shri.
Baban S. Laswate, DGM legal Mumbai who is in charge of Staff section is admitted in Hospital
and recovering fast. Let us all pray for his early recovery. In his
absence the charge of Staff section is with Shri.
A. Pradeepan, DGM HR Mumbai and he
has published data approved by CGMT MH.
·
SNEA MH appreciates efforts taken by Shri. Aman Jaiswal GM HR
CO Mumbai who is also tested positive, but while working
from home, he has taken pains in preparations and publishing data. Now he also
is admitted in hospital to avoid further issues and let us we all pray for
his early recovery. In his absence the charge of GM HR MH CO Mumbai is with
to Shri. Kailash More, DGM Admn Mumbai.
·
SNEA MH specially appreciates the efforts taken
by Shri. Ramakant Sharma, CGMT MH who also was on leave for
one week as tested positive and after certain recovery, he is working from Home
and till kept his word of publishing vacancy position and stay particulars of
executives and given clear signal that this time request transfers as well as
requirement of executives in SSAs facing shortage will be given consideration.
It is understood that CGMT MH may start functioning form office from this week
onwards and then issues will be further clear and process will speed up.
