DoT to move cabinet note on VRS to BSNL employee
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) will move a Cabinet note in a few days on the voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) option for Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) employees.
Only after the approval of the Cabinet, the DoT will take a final call, a senior official said here.
There were reports of BSNL board approving recommendations on reducing the retirement age to 58 from the current 60.
The VRS offer will lead to exit of around 54,000 staff (30 per cent of total strength).
However, the DoT official said it won’t happen soon and will be done as per some procedures.
‘Will move at earliest’
“We will be moving to the Cabinet in the following days for a note to give 4G spectrum to BSNL, and to give an attractive VRS package to the employees. We will try and move it the earliest, once we get the clearance from the Election Commission,†the official said.
The official also clarified that the VRS option will be available to employees who are “above 50 years of ageâ€.
“It (VRS) will be offered to anyone who is above 50 years. We will have to give VRS option, but don’t know how many will accept it too. So it will be for anybody who accepts it,†the official said.
Repeated calls and messages to Anupam Shrivastava, Chairman and Manging Director, BSNL remained unanswered.
As per 2017-18 annual report, BSNL had 1,83,522 employees, including both executive and non-executive, and as of now around 1.76 lakh employees are there.
According to sources, most of them are retiring by March 31, and the maximum of the current strength is also above 50 years of age.
The loss-making company had recently said the pending February salaries of its 1.76 lakh employees have been cleared.
The company also said it will aggressively focus on increasing its market share and revenue with attractive schemes.
For 2017-18, the company reported a net loss of ₹7,993 crore, although income from services had grown to ₹22,668 crore.

Supreme Court clears path for pension to rise manifold for employees in all firms
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday paved the way for higher pension to all private sector employees by dismissing a special leave petition filed by Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) against a Kerala high court judgment.
The HC had asked EPFO to give pension to all retiring employees on the basis of their full salary, rather than capping the figure on which contribution is calculated at a maximum of Rs 15,000 per month.
"We find no merit in the special leave petition. The same is, accordingly, dismissed,' the SC ruled.
The only catch is that while pension will increase, the provident fund corpus will be reduced as the extra contribution will now go to EPS rather than PF. However, the amount reduced is unlikely to be significant as the commutation of the part of increased pension will be sufficient to fill the gap.
The Centre had introduced the Employees Pension Scheme (EPS) in 1995, under which an employer was supposed to contribute 8.33% of the employee's salary in a pension scheme. However, the contribution was capped at 8.33% of Rs 6,500 (or Rs 541 per month). In March 1996, the government amended the act and allowed the contribution to be a percentage of the actual salary, provided the employee and employer had no objection.
On September 1, 2014, the EPFO amended the act to increase the contribution to 8.33% of a maximum of Rs 15,000 (or Rs 1,250). The amendment also stipulated that in case of those who availed the benefit of pension on full salary, their pensionable salary would be calculated as the average of the last five years' monthly salary, and not of the last one year of average salary, as per earlier norms. This reduced the pension of many employees.
Subsequently, the Kerala high court set aside the September 1, 2014 amendment and also reinstated the old system of calculating the pensionable salary as the average of the last one year's monthly salary.
In October 2016, the Supreme Court directed the EPFO to accept the requests of employees to contribute to the pension scheme on the basis of full salary, with back date, and give pension on full salary.
A number of retired employees benefitted from the scheme, including Parveen Kohli, a private sector employee who got his pension revised from Rs 2,372 per month to Rs 30,592 per month. Kohli now works to get pension enhanced for other retired employees.
However, even after the SC judgment, EPFO refused to accept contributions of employees of exempt companies, whose EPFs are managed by trusts, even when they were ready to contribute the due amount. Provident funds of most of the large PSUs like navratnas including ONGC, Indian Oil and others and large private sector companies are managed by trusts as per norms suggested by EPFO.
A number of high courts like Kerala, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh and Madras, among others, ruled in favour of employees and asked EPFO to allow them to contribute. Monday's decision of Supreme Court is expected to settle the issue once and for all. Employees who have begun working after September 1, 2014, will also be able to avail the benefit of pension on full salary.

BSNL to release March salary on time; board meet on April 4
The source also said the salaries for March will be paid on time and from BSNL's service billings of own resources.
IANS | Updated: March 29, 2019, 15:59 IST
The state-run BSNL will hold a crucial board meeting on April 4 to discuss the 2018-19 financial results and the roadmap, and investments for 2019-20 fiscal, increasing of the ceiling limit for capex loans, sources said on Friday.
They also informed that the Public Sector Unit will its services revenues to pay March salaries on time.
"The board meeting is scheduled for April 4 as of now, the approval of the board for raising the ceiling limit for availing the capex loans will be taken and then sent to the Telecom Ministry.
"The meeting will also draw up investment plans for the next fiscal and targets as well," said one of the sources. Currently the BSNL board has a ceiling of Rs 4,300 crore to raise as capex loans.
The source also said the salaries for March will be paid on time and from BSNL's service billings of own resources.
Service billing would mean the revenues from its access, leased line, enterpise business and broadband services, -- and not the payments from the special projects that the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) pays it for doing projects like BharatNet, Andaman and Nicobar telecom projects and Network for Spectrum project.
The BSNL Board has two nominees from the DoT and they would be apprised of the BSNL action and investment plan for the next fiscal to survive the hyper-competition in the sector, challenges, likely expenditure, market conditions and capex, network expansion included.
The PSU has already installed 4G network equipment but they may need some scale up in view of the expected roll out of the LTE based 4G services sometimes in the second half of the year.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is currently examining the BSNL 4G spectrum issue after DoT referred to it. The DoT has ensured a comfort letter for BSNL to avail Rs 3,500 crore working capital from banks for the maintenance of the networks.
The PSU had a tough time in disbursing its HR bill of Rs 850 crore in February -- the first time in its 18 years of formation -- due to late and reduced arrival of receivables.
The BSNL has at present three proposals pending for its revival with DoT -- its Rs 6,535 crore VRS proposals to bring down employees base from a huge 1.76 lakh crore and the funding of this would be done through 10-year bonds by government. The 4G spectrum issue is currently with the TRAI.
The other proposal is the monetisation of its land which will be decided by the Disinvestment Department of the Finance Ministry as DIPAM is the nodal centre of non-core asset monetisation across Ministries.
With 3G and 2G, BSNL was the only operator besides Jio which could add 9 lakh subscribers (in February) keeping full fledged 4G players like Airtel and Idea Vodafone behind.
The state carrier is facing financial pressure due to lack of full fledged 4G services and a huge workforce as also excessive competition unleased by lower tariffs from Reliance Jio which has affected the entire industry, with BSNL being no exception.
The PSU has 11.5 crore mobile users and has 9.7 per cent market share.

New Delhi: The Prime Minister’s Office on Friday took stock of the telecom sector's financial position, including two ailing PSUS, and is learnt to have asked Department of Telecom to support BSNL, currently going through a huge financial crisis leading to salary default, till a new government takes over in June.
The time has been sought as the PSU may find it hard to get the revenues up and going for meeting a huge monthly wage bill of Rs 1,200 crore, sources said.
Sources said with polls around, the government does not want 1.76 lakh employees should face any salary issues. The BSNL's VRS scheme amounting to Rs 6,535 crore will be taken up by the new government. The Prime Minister’s Office, according to highly placed sources, has asked DoT to support and take care of BSNL's wage bill in whatever ways till July.
Last month DoT had helped BSNL to meet its salary bill after the state-run operator defaulted on salary in 19 years of its existence.
BSNL has a net loss of Rs 8,000 crore and its revenues have declined to around Rs 27,000 crore, underlining the tough times ahead in a market of extremely low data tariffs and free voice calls.
The PSU is also struggling as it does not have LTE 4G services for lack of spectrum and now DoT has referred the matter of its spectrum proposal to TRAI for consultation as PSUs don't bid for auction to get spectrum.
BSNL's wage bill is 70 per cent of its revenues and with dwindling service incomes it is extremely difficult for the ex-DOT service arm to keep floating.
The last month salary was paid by the PSU on March 15 to all, after it had paid in tranches to some circles and lower level staff.
Earlier this month the government gave BSNL a letter of comfort for raising working capital loans of Rs 3,500 crore for paying electricity bills and other network upkeep expenses such as towers.
BSNL's wage bill increases annually by 8 per cent and its revenues are stagnant.
The PMO's similar advice was on MTNL wage issues as well. MTNL has a monthly wage bill of Rs 200 crore stemming from its 23,000 employees. The DoT has been paying it since November under some service heads of previous payments.
In fiscal 2019, BSNL losses are expected to be over Rs 12,000 crore though in March, the financial position could be slightly better with realization of billing from the enterprise businesses than in February, according to DoT sources, though it could not be ascertained since the fiscal is yet to end.

It is FNTO which registered their complaint with PM FM and opposition leader. Recognised unions and jcm leaders were helpless witness to the scenarios. Workers should be strong ,resolute and informed of who are their real Representatives and coming to their rescue at the need of the hour

4-12-2018:-FNTO's stand on strike vindicated. STRIKE CALLED OFF UNCONDITIONALLY.
The BSNLEU and others called for indefinite strike from 3rd December-2018. They misguided the workers stating that because of the affordability clause BSNL Non executive will not get THEIR wage revision. This was a misleading propaganda. For the wage revision of non executives, a joint committee of BSNL administration and staff side was already formed with the approval of Govt. of India. They had a series of sittings and discussions on wage revision. If the affordability clause was applicable to the wage revision of non executives, the government should not have formed a wage revision committee at all. According to ID Act, the wage revision of non executives is settled through mutual discussion between the staff side and Management. Once an agreement is signed it is not questionable and the Management has to implement it. Though the CMD had committed in writing to give 15% fitment, the BSNLEU led staff side has placed the lowest quotation of 11% fitment and as demanded by the staff side the official side agreed to it. Instead of concluding and signing the agreement they gave strike notice with hidden agenda given as below;-
1. They wanted to help their masters the Executives union, as their wage revision was held up due to the affordability clause.
2. They wanted to delay wage revision till membership verification.
NUBSNLW (FNTO) was against mixing the wage revision of non executives & executives fearing affordability clause may made applicable of for both by the Govt. resulting losing wage revision forever. Now the letter given by DOT has clearly directed the CMD to complete and conclude the wage revision of NON EXECUTIVES, clarifying that removing the affordability clause for executives will be dealt separately. When this was the stand of DOT, why they instigate the workers for a strike? We are not against the wage revision of Executives. We can give solidarity support them once the wage revision of non –executives are settled. There is no justification of mixing the wage revision of both, as executive scales are common for all PSUs and can be settled only by DPE guidelines.
The strikers wanted to cheat the workers without disclosing the real agenda. But they are fully exposed. FNTO's STAND VINDICATED. Thomas John K. PRESIDENT.

20-11-2018:- General Secretaries of NUBSNLW (FNTO), BTEU (BSNL BMS) & TOA (BSNL BMS) met at FNTO office T-16 Atul Grove Road and discussed about indefinite strike call given by AUAB.
General Secretaries feel that the Non-executive Wage negotiations are in progress almost. 7 rounds of meetings over and also agreement reached on New Pay Scales, issue is pending only on Allowances i.e. HRA.
Since one month the recognized unions are not discussing this issue keeping pending of Negotiations on wage revision of Non-executives, they are given an indefinite strike notice without consulting any other unions more than 30 Unions & Associations are registered in BSNL. Only 9 Unions & Associations served the notice for indefinite strike in the name of AUAB.
After serving the notice they send an appeal through mail. We feel it is only blame game.
So we decided to conduct a Candle show from 26th November and Lunch hour demonstration at Corporate office, Circle & SSA Heads on 01-12-2018, after the 1st programme again we sit and decide the further agitational programme.
I request all the Circle/District Secretaries to make the programme grand success.

26-10-2018:-Agitation with hidden Agenda of Recognised Unions.
After proposing and agreeing the lowest quotation of Wage Revision (11.17%) for the BSNL Employees, again those unions have called for Dharna/Rallies on 29/30-10-2018, without proper cause or reasons. In order to confuse the FNTO workers it is also published that their leaders are meeting FNTO to convince us to join the agitation. It is hereby clarified that there was no such meeting and for the time being FNTO is not joining the proposed agitations.
It is not FNTO’s culture to go on agitation including strike when the talks are in progress. Recognised Unions have accepted the proposal of pay scales unconditionally and demand of the unions for allowances is not known.
There is no break in talks on allowances. Unions should workout additional expenses for HRA, Transport allowance etc. and challenge Management’s. Claim of additional expenses.
In addition to above FNTO’s opinion that without doing all these exercise going on strike is not advisable. It is political decision and as such we are not inclined to join this agitation including strike.

05-10-2018:- For kind attention of recognized unions & Negotiation Commiittee.
In the last round of discussion it is observed that the recognized unions have accepted the pay scales offered by the BSNL with a slight modification in the maximum pay of NE-4 and NE-5. The next round of discussion is stated to be for allowances. Thus it is clear that the recognized unions have closed the pay chapter without any decision, discussion on negotiation on the following issues. In order to avoid further problems while fixing the pay of BSNL employees, these issues are to be discussed in detail and decisions taken before starting negotiation for revision of allowances. Will they do it?
Issues to be discussed
1) How to fix the pay as on 01.01.2017 in the new pay scale?
a) Percentage of fitment benefit in clear terms.
b) Rounding off of Pay after giving fitment benefit.
2) What is the fitment to be given on promotion. For Central scale 3% increment is given besides grade pay. BSNL has no grade pay. Then what is the extra benefit given on promotion? Our proposal is for 5% benefit.
3) What about upgradation of the pay scales of Sr. TOA. Why it was not discussed? Whether decision of the JCM (DC) of DOT will be implemented or not. It may be noted that the other decision of revision of pay scale of TTAs was implemented form 01.10.2000 itself.
4) If the fitment benefit is not committed in the agreement it will affect the pension revision also. So it is very much necessary to specify in the agreement.
5) Pension contribution as per FR 116 also should be insisted as for the ITS officers working in BSNL on deputation it is given for the actual pay only. There should be no discrimination and also no violation of statutory rule i.e.FR116.
6) The cost of this revision in all aspects should be discussed transparently by the staff side with the official side. Detailed calculation sheet should be placed for discussion. FNTO has already given a calculation sheet of additional cost and also savings of salary and pension contribution on account of retirement in the year 2017. More than 42000 employees are likely to be retired from 2018 to 2020. The cost savings on account of these retirements also needs to be discussed in detail in the committee. Net expenditure will be far less.

27-09-2018:-Ulta Chor Kotwal ko dante!
The BSNL workers by now realized that the wage negotiations are conducting by the chief negotiator the BSNLEU half hearty colliding with the BSNL administration and there is every possibility of ditching them as done in the last wage revision. The BSNLEU is so desperate that, they started abusing the FNTO that we are exploiting the anxiety of the employees by spreading lies and slanders. No, we are saying the truth and we will exposé there under hand dealing in front of the workers. Don’t underestimate the workers, they are intelligent, fouling them will back fire.
Com.P.Abimanayu, GS, BSNLEU confirmed that, in the meeting held with CMD BSNL on 09-08-2018 he was quoting the DPE letter dated 03-08-2017, according to which the BSNL Employees are not eligible for wage revisionâ€. Why this point raised by the union in the meeting? Is the CMD was not aware of this letter? Why should they remind the CMD a negative point? The fact is that the Hon’ble Minister for communication in his statement in the Parliament on 08-08-2018 clarified that the BSNL is making operative profit and the affordability condition is not applicable to BSNL. Despite this the BSNLEU is spreading lies that the BSNL workers are not eligible for wage revision. Why and what is the hidden agenda?
At last, BSNLEU accepted that the Dr. recruited TTAs (JE) appointed on 01-01-2007 were drawing less pay than the pre revised pay scale due to the faulty implementation of the last wage revision. However, without any shame they claim that to substantiate the wage loss they fought and got ONE INCREMENT to Dr. recruited TTAs. The question is why they agreed to downgrade the TTAs (JE) with one increment, when similarly appointed JTOs and JAOs were given THREE INCREMENTS. Even that one increment is not given to the Sr.TOAs who was placed similarly. The faulty pay scales of last time brought thousands of BSNL workers particularly the Group D staff on stagnation and huge financial losses. Shameful! BSNLEU is not an expert negotiator as they claim.
All these are the creation of BSNLEU due to acceptance of 68.8% IDA merger when the Govt. orders exist for 78.2%. Had it been done for 78.2% IDA, nobody including the Executives, Non-Executives and Pensioners would have lost the arrears for 6 ½ years.
The Non-executive of BSNL are entitled to get at least 15% fitment as promised by the BSNL CMD. If you cannot get that fitment it will be your failure!
We are not shedding any crocodile tears. We have done much more than you for the workers. Could you get the 78.2% DA merger agreement till the FNTO joined the agitation? You were going on agitating for the wage revision committee, nobody bothered to settle the issue till the FNTO joined in series of agitations and the two day strike. Can you deny it? But once the formation of wage committee is settled, you ditched us, even avoid us while discussing with administration.
Who betrayed the workers history will say. Don’t forget, when FNTO and others were on strike on the issue of corporatization, the BSNLEU ditch the workers, did not joined nation vide strike. FNTO won the historic strike, solved most the issues including pension for BSNL workers from the consolidated fund of India. This historic decision of PENSION is given to only BSNL not to any PSUs of this country. The BSNLEU is not a party to this achievement.
In the first wage revision committee of 2001-02, BSNLEU was not invited to join the wage negotiation. But it was our magnanimity that we convinced the administration and allowed BSNLEU leaders in the committee, despite objection from senior leader like O.P Gupta ji. (SG NFTE) But BSNLEU always ungrateful towards FNTO. They never reciprocated our goodwill. In that wage revision was incomparable and we were able to negotiate and brought Rs. 4000 to Rs.6000 benefits for the BSNL workers on IDA scale. Now let us watch, what the workers will get now?
Only the recognized unions can discuss the policy matters with regard to BSNL employees. It is their duty to set right the things. For their failures they should not blame other unions. FNTO will always raise its voices on policy failures by the recognized unions to take note for correction. If they don’t do it BSNL workers will take note of their failures.
27-09-2018:-For the attention of the negotiating team for wage revision of BSNL Non-Executive Employees from 01.01.2017
BSNLEU and NFTE BSNL are concerned only about stagnation in the new scale because of their bitter experience of 01.01.2007 scales. Actually there will be no stagnation in the new scale proposed by the BSNL Management and after fixation on 01.01.2017 an employee will get an average of ten increments thereafter. Therefore the recognized unions should concentrate on the following demands.
1) Ensure 15% fitment benefit for all employees as assured by the CMD.
2) Ensure 5% increase on promotion instead of 3% to Non-Executive employees.
3) Upgradation of pay scale of Sr. TOA as per the decision of the JCM (DC) of DOT taken before formation of BSNL and directed the BSNL to settle it within 15 days of formation.
4) Rounding off of pay to be fixed on 01.01.2017 to the next 100 rupees instead of ten rupees as this Ten rupees has no value at all now.
FNTO has already submitted a detailed note justifying the above demands to the chairman of the negotiating committee. Will the recognized unions concentrate on these issues?
27-09-2018:-DoT to conduct special audit on telcos from FY-2012 onwards
The audit, to be resumed after a gap of three years, comes when license fee and SUC due to the government fell in 2017 by more than 23% on the year and is expected to fall this year too.
Mumbai: The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is set to conduct “special audits†of mobile phone operators from fiscal year 2011-12 onwards to check for under-reporting of revenue that might account for a sharp downturn in license fees and spectrum usage charges (SUC). Annual license fees and SUC paid to the government are calculated based on a telcos revenue.
The audit, to be resumed after a gap of three years, comes when license fee and SUC due to the government fell in 2017 by more than 23% on the year and is expected to fall this year too. This is due to the brutal price war which expedited a bloody consolidation that saw a spate of exits and M&As and dented telecom revenues.
Carriers fear the new round of audit could lead to a new dues being demanded from the already stressed sector, sparking more litigation and be a drag on time and resources.
“All telecom companies will be audited soon and we are preparing for this. This will be the third audit and notices will go out soon,†said a senior DoT official, who did not want to be named.
ET has learnt that debt-laden Aircel, in the midst of bankruptcy proceedings, has already received the notice on the forthcoming audit.
“DoT proposes to conduct audit/special audit of Aircel for the period of seven years for financial year 2011-2012 to 2017-2018,†said the letter sent to Aircel. These special audits are under clauses 22.5 and 22.6 of Unified Access Service License which allows the DoT to comb the books of the operators.
In the notice, the DoT said it can “conduct an audit/special audit to detect any under reporting of revenues by the licensee with a view to secure the government dues of license fees and spectrum usage chargesâ€.
Many players have quit the business since 2017 or have merged, unable to survive the competition. For example, Vodafone and Idea merged, while Bharti Airtel bought Telenor India and is buying Tata Teleservices wireless business.
Additionally, Reliance Communications (RCom), which had bought Sistema Shyam Teleservices, and Aircel have shut their wireless services. This leaves Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and Reliance Jio – which started operations in September 2016 triggering the tariff war– as the only private sector telcos in the market.
Last year, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) pulled up six telcos - Bharti Airtel, Vodafone India, Idea Cellular, Aircel, RCom and Sistema Shyam - for allegedly understating their revenue by Rs61,064.5 crore over five financial years - from FY 2010-11 till FY 2014-15 – leading to the government losing out on Rs12,229.24 crore as payment from spectrum charges and interest.
The DoT itself conducted two audits previously - for years FY 2006 to FY 2008 in 2009 - and for three years from FY 2009-to FY 2011, in 2015/2016. The first audit led to demand notices for Rs1,846.51 crore being issued to five telcos. All demands have been challenged in court.
The second one – which followed a CAG audit that revealed under reporting of revenue to the tune of Rs 46,045.75 crore between 2006-07 and 2009-10, causing a loss of Rs 12,488.93 crore to the government - led to demands of over Rs12,000 crore on six telcos, but is also stuck in court.
“Special audits typically happen when the DoT is not convinced about account reporting and the concern is mainly on the AGR calculations that are defined differently. They have every right to audit, but if operators again decide to challenge the new findings, it will lead to more legal cases,†said Rajan Mathews, director general of Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), which represents telcos.
Historically, telcos have stymied DoT’s efforts to recover SUC and license fees on the grounds that the definition of adjusted gross revenue (AGR) – or revenue derived from licensed services – is still to be decided by the courts.
Mathews said that in 2017, the industry had recommended that there should be only one audit that takes care of concerns of all regulatory bodies, else “they impact business hours and operations since behind each audit resources are set aside and they last for many weeksâ€.
“This will be another way for the telecom department to see if they can charge us any other kind of dues. And this is contradictory to DoT’s stated claim that it wants to reduce litigation,†said a senior executive at one of the telcos who did not want to be identified.
While officials in DoT downplayed the latest audit saying it was routine, telco executives said it cannot be ignored that in the last few years the industry has clashed with regulator and government on calculations of dues locking up nearly Rs 80,000 crore is litigation. |
