Our CS, ACS & VP met CGMT BSNL Kerala on 02/11/2020. We thanked Circle administration for sending the corrections in AIEL for DPC in time. Administration assured that the SCR also will be cleared from Kerala Circle in time. Further we have requested for the issuance of pending request transfers - for which CGMT assured that the same will be processed on November 5th and orders can be expected accordingly. We have appraised CGMT with regard to some corner's ill motive to displacement of JTO to SDE promotion expected candidates. We cannot accept such move which is against rules and even natural justice. There are many executives who have completed more than 20 year's of service in the same BA. CGMT informed us that there's no change from his earlier stand, that if inter BA displacement is inevitable, then it will be processed from long stay only.
Further we have pointed out some discrepancies which were included ( intentionally from the section which processed the same ? ) in the AGM LA volunteer letter. CGMT communicated that , he was not aware of such discrepancies and definitely he will look into and Will not allow any such ill intensions plotted if any. Our team met GM HR/Admin and DGM HR/Admin also and discussed the matters.
Inline with the formal minuted agenda meeting discussions with AIGETOA & Circle Administration on 28/09/2020, Circle office has issued clarifications to BAs with regard to forwarding of Outside BA transfer requests. Even though the matter seems to be simple, the same was an issue for many executives who were serving in different BAs till now and these long years many suffered, where by the transfer requests being withheld by the whims and fancies of controlling officer / like wise. Now with this a uniformity and transparency will be enforced throughout circle on forwarding of requests.
Transfer request need to be forwarded to Circle office within 30 days of receipt (Subject to the fact that the executive is served 180 days of service in the BA).
The minutes issued to AIGETOA may also be referred. We are thankful to our respected CGMT, GM(HR/Admin) & DGM(HR/Admin ) for issuance of clear guidelines on the same.
Circle office have issued the letter for Look after arrangements in the cadre of AGM/DE for a total of 80 vacancies. Options have to reach CO in the email ID of AGM HR Circle Office and to BA concerned.
In continuation with the same we have represented the following points with Circle administration viz
1. Representation of matters related with Malappuram BA (till the executive hold the post of Circle President)
2. Ensuring of DGM(adhoc) service at Malappuram BA till retirement
3. Proper Scrutiny on all financial approvals from Malappuram BA thereof
Inline with the discussions and submissions by AIGETOA, the request transfer lists in the cader of JTO/SDE pending at Circle office is published.

All are requested to go through the same and discrepancies may be intimated to DS/DP. For those executives mentioned with Whether Received through proper channel as NO, please ensure that the requests are forwarded latest by 1-11-2020 from BA administration to Circle office through email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . If any requests are missed out / any requests are pending to be forwarded from BA, please contact for any help from AIGETOA office bearers in your BA. The reason why one particular association is not showing any interests in such matters now– can be very well be known by just seeing the HR numbers of request opted executives.
Even though this association was assured by circle management that transparency will be ensured in the case of processing transfer requests and other related matters, the recent lethargic attitude from circle office HR section is dubious. At one end the various assurances to the recognised association after the agenda meeting held on 28/9/20 is kept pending and on other end selective clearances are being made.
It is learnt that the Kerala counter part of one particular association who has failed to stop the forthcoming DPC promotions of JTO to SDE, are now vouching for inter BA displacement of executives at the time of promotion instead of effecting the same from long stay.
The shameless plan plotted by a proclaimed leader at the far end of service especially against the interests of BSNL recruited executives cannot be accepted by AIGETOA and we will strive to ensure that justified transparent methods are adopted in inter BA transfers. We requested the circle administration to effect the pending request transfers and other assurances inline with the last agenda meeting.
In connection with finalisation of AIEL particulars and updation of corrections/representations for holding of DPC for promotion to SDE(T) in SCF Quota, our Circle office team met AGM(HR), O/o CGMT BSNL Kerala to check the progress. It was informed that the HR wing is in process of collecting the details from different BAs and assured that the details will be sent to corporate office within stipulated time.
It is seen that a DGM(adhoc) from Ernakulam BA with 8 month of service as DGM(adhoc) & the Circle President of an association is posted at Malappuram BA and entrusted with the charge of BA head. Earlier We had requested for removal of this executive from DGM Rural incharge for a series of violation of rules and misutilisation of official capacity which is already under enquiry. This DGM(adhoc) who has left with five month of service to superannuation is given such role, ignoring the regular DGMs available with longer service span.
The allocation of sensitive post like BA head to a Circle president of an association is flouting of existing norms and we have represented the matter with CGMT Kerala circle. Click here for the letter. When the proclaimed leaders of that association are against promotions of BSNL Recruited employees and advocate for even denial of LA arrangement's till regular promotions to executives, it will be a surprise to see for additional charge acceptance by their own proclaimed leaders.
Further we requested cancellation of this order and submitted that either a regular GM should be posted as BA head or at least regular DGM should be given charge. Posting circle president of an association to sensitive posts cannot be accepted as it will lead to conflict of interests and is against norms.
As assured with AIGETOA Kerala and inline with discussions, the volunteers for DGM(LA) are called for various BAs in Kerala Circle. The DGM vacancies are kept on the same line as per AIGETOA’s proposal submitted earlier.
Dear Colleagues,
The minutes of the meeting held between circle management and Recognised Association AIGETOA on 28/09/2020 is published.
Click here for the minutes issued
We reaffirm our commitment that the changes of electing AIGETOA as the recognised association will be visible. While erstwhile associations in BSNL have always shied away from publishing the minutes of their meeting with management for obvious reasons, We are determined to make it a regular feature and enable ourselves as a platform for smooth exchange of ideas between Management and executives with transparency.
Some measures mentioned in agenda meeting are already done by management like publishing of intra BA stay particulars in JTO/SDE/AGM cadres, taking up the matters with corporate office wrt categorisation of BAs, requirement of GMs, and diversion of batteries to Kannur, Thrissur and review of empannelled hospitals etc. we hope that the remaining points will also be cleared one by one, by management as assured.
It is seen that DGM(adhoc) who is handling the charge of DGM BB/Transmission & Rural in Ernakulam BA reportedly violated various guidelines and norms prevailing in BSNL. Some incidents with prejudiced or biased approach by this DGM are reported through mis-utilization of official capacity. AIGETOA Ernakulam has reached out to PGMT, Ernakulam BA seeking an impartial enquiry on these matters.
AIGETOA condemn such immature acts from a senior executive and is committed to protect the BSNL executives from nepotistic regime furthered by few such narrow minded people in violation of rules to retain their writ and authority over executive fraternity which in turn affect the conducive working atmosphere within organisation.
