We are proud to say that the executive has opted ITS as first option and this once again proves the calibre of young executives working in the company.

The Group Mediclaim Policy to be launched by AIGETOA has been finalized. We were under discussion for the best possible quote causing delay by few days but now negotiation has been completed and Letter of Intent has been issued by the Insurer for a five Lakh Mediclaim Policy.
The exclusive premium will be Rs 6100/- plus 18% GST (i.e. Rs 7198/-) uniformly across all age brackets for one Family comprising of self, spouse plus Kids. The quotes for Family with single parent coverage is at 9000+GST@18%, The quotes for Family with both parents coverage is 9600+GST@18%.
Room Rent has been enhanced from earlier 1 percent of SI to 2 percent ie Rs 10,000 per day. ICU expenditure has been enhanced to actual expenses without any capping against earlier quote of 2 percent of SI.
Though Corporate Buffer is available at some minimum extra premium but we have opted for Top Up benefits of 5 lacs and 10 lacs additional to ensure parity amongst all. However, to get this coverage, minimum 20 percent will have to opt for ToP Up..the rates of ToPUP will be dependent upon the number of persons opting for the top up for which we will have another 15 days window. We will try to keep the rates for ToP UP also as minimum as possible through negotiation once the final figure on the same is arrived.
The Customized Terms & Conditions of the policy along with premium for family with parents is enclosed for your ready reference as provided by the insurer, New India assurance.
We will be opening the window to start collection of premium very soon, once payment gateway for the purpose is readied by the bank. The family details will be again captured while making the payment for the said group policy. We once again thank you all for showing patience and it will definitely yield fruitful result when the policy will come into effect in this month for Pan India basis with all coverage from day-1.

We are entering to a new financial year with togetherness and hopes for growth.
BSNL and employees had tough times earlier due to many misfortunes.
It's a matter of rejoice that there is some positive news on Hybrid 4G tender.
Let us work together to succesfully achieve our due goals (which were blocked) and strengthen the bond among us.
Let us hope that all misfortunes go away for BSNL and it's employees.
BSNL KERALA Circle have issued the inter BA tranfer order's based on long Stay and Request.
There was a scheduled meeting with AIGETOA and CGMT ,BSNL Kerala Sri. C V Vinod ITS today on various matters. In the case of Long stay transfers we have once again submitted about various transfers earlier done and its connected implication on the present proposal. We have requested CGMT to consider the genuine and justified requests from executives so that the hardships can be avoided. We requested for considerations as envisaged in the policy of long stay transfer and it was assured that maximum possible efforts will be made for reducing the difficulties. Further we submitted that the transfers/retentions need to be effected in a transparent manner. We have also requested to consider various pending request transfers to BAs.We also made to notice with CGMT that the Six months criteria of outside BA request transfer forwarding as assured to us need to incorporated in Online portal (presently 2 years ) also and Circle office need to be shown for options separately.
The need of some re arrangements in circle office vertical was discussed and we clearly appraised CGMT that any new changes need to be done only after ground level study and its possible effect on a successful set-up. It was pathetic to note that a particular section is still trying to make leverage on their vested interests by quoting need of high range transfers. CGMT assured us that there won't be any sudden decision and recognized association will be consulted before chalking out any such proposal
In addition to the above, we pointed out some pre-planned changes which occurred during AGM LA allotment earlier even bypassing a BAs requirement and BSNL recruited executives chances were curtailed. The need of seeking clarification on immunity grounds also requested.
We have also requested our respected CGMT's intervention on speedy processing of 40+ Rule-9 requests with corporate office as assured to this association much earlier.
CGMT assured us that the matter will be taken with Director HR, Corporate Office.
The meeting was convened in a very positive manner and we hope that the assurance will be enacted in true manner. Later the team met GM HR/Admin also. From Association side Circle Secretary Sri.Saheer , Assistant Circle Secretary Sri Prasadraj, Sri.Ansal and Vice President Sri Vipal Prem were present.
Our Circle team had a detailed meeting with GM(HR/Admin) on 27/02/2021 about the proposed Long stay transfer in Kerala Circle. We observed some changes from the norms and guidelines in the proposal and we have suggested corrective measures. We also requested to share the details in a transparent manner and implement the long stay transfer only to the minimum extent.
Next Circle Executive Committee meeting of AIGETOA Kerala is scheduled to be conducted on 11-02-2021. Various agenda points like Single point follow-up on payloss issues, legal cases, long stay transfers will be discussed in detail. All the circle Executive Committee members are requested to attend the same without fail. Online link will be shared to CEC members.
AIGETOA Kerala placed its strong resentment against the unilateral overhaul of procedures without taking into account of field realities where by the online attendance absentee is matched with ERP leave and subsequent direction of salary deduction. Aim of implementation of any system should be in overall benefit of BSNL and its employees. The order itself is contradicting in nature where the liability for entry of leave is differed from the leave availed employee. The non-uniformity in working days and the disparity of working atmosphere of employees who works in administrative office versus those in field, rotation of post transfers also needed to be addressed properly before any such decisions otherwise the employees will be demoralized further. There no mentioning of corporate office approval/guidelines for enacting such system of salary deduction. Denial of salary through any order without corporate office direction that too when the employee is being forced to wait for weeks together to get even his or her regular salary is not acceptable for this association.
The situation at Malappuram BA due to entrustment of DGM Ad-hoc as BA head who hold Circle President post of one executive association was represented to Circle management from October -2020 itself. As an interim measure management had revoked the administrative powers vested with BA head from that particular executive on 26/12/2020. Now as per BSNL corporate office guidelines dated 8/1/2021 it has been clarified that the OBs shall not be posted as the BA Head. It is learnt that a request for exemption is made to BSNL for continuance of the entrustment which is against the merit of extant guidelines. AIGETOA Kerala submitted for corrective measures in this regard.
AIGETOA KERALA represented the need of extending the Quarantine period as Work From Home for those employees who happens to be the primary contact of any like Covid-19 patient especially BSNL customers, Contract labourers, family members etc. The reasons and various situations justifying the same also represented.
Online transfer module has been developed by Kerala Circle for registering transfer requests by the employees. The transfer requests need to be registered by the employees and forwarding up to Circle office will be through this module. The link to the module is available in the attendance login of each employee. This was one of the point AIGETOA Kerala has raised in the agenda meeting and a long pending requirement to ensure the transparency of request transfer movement and registration of the same. We thank our respected CGMT, GM(HR/Admin ) & the IT team for this new endeavour.
