Meeting with ED, Delhi--GS, Sh V K Tomar
and CS Delhi, Shri Sunil Kumar met ED on
29-07-17 and discussed following issues.
GM (A) was also present in the meeting-
Malware attack on BB modems--issue
was discussed in details, ED hoped that
all modems will be reconfigured by
Sunday. Association suggested him
that in the light of such cyber
attacks, there should be a dedicated
cyber security team to protect and deal
with such attacks which are causing a
huge loss to the company revenue and
credibility. ED was in favour of this
idea and said that he had started this
type of initiative in Mumbai when he
was PGM(D) there, but things could not
move further. Now again this initiative
will be taken after discussion with CMD.
Association also suggested to file an
FIR against this cyber attack.
Local promotion orders in the
cadre of DE-- Association asked ED
to expedite and get promotion orders
against all vacant posts of DE. GM(A)
informed that out of 98 officers whose
ACRs were called, 12 are still awaited.
ED asked GM(A) and Association to
pursue with the concerned GMs and
officers to send CRs or certify that
CRs are not ready. ED instructed GM(A)
to expedite the whole process and issue
the promotion orders at the earliest.
Rationalization of staff in
different units--Association raised
that there is shortage of staff
including officers and supporting
staff, so rationalization of staff is
to be done to meet shortage of staff in
different units. ED asked GM(A) to work
on this issue and short out the problem
raised by the Association
Issue of posting of promotee
officers at higher level, DGM and GM was
discussed. ED was very positive on this
issue, when Association raised that
officers do not become eligible for
regular DGM and GM because they are not
promoted on regular basis and remains on
look after basis years together, ED said
that he is in favor that all looking
after officers should be promoted on
regular basis and assured that he will
also take up this issue with corporate
office.

is being taken as our weakness. But, now
time has come for final battle. Come on

GB meeting of WS
Area--was
held on 07-07-17 in CGO, which was
attended by large number of officers of
WS area. Meeting was presided over by
Shri S P Singh, DGM. Meeting was
addressed by GS, CS, AGS, Shri Sanjay
Kumar, CT Shri Satyavir Singh, ACS, Shri
M K Singh, & Shri B L Singh, Vice
President Shri Pankaj Sharma and Area
secretary Shri Mukul Dixit.GS, Shri V K
Tomar in his address elaborately
explained the issues of MTNL revival, 3rd
PRC, 78.2% fitment, 58 year retirement
age & promotion avenues in MTNL, 30%
corpus and training increment.
MTNL revival---He
said that govt policy is against the
Public sector and Officers of all public
Sectors and Central Govt has come
together to oppose the govt policy and
efforts are being made from different
platforms to protect the Public Sector in
general. MEA is part of every platform to
protect the Public Sector. Recently BMS
also protested against NITI AYOG
decisions to privatize the PSUs, MEA
extended its support and addressed their
rally.
Particularly for
MTNL revival, MTNL management ,
Association & Unions are now making
sincere efforts to increase the revenue
so that govt perception can be changed
towards MTNL. GS emphasized that small
increase in revenue can make big
difference in the direction of MTNL
revival and survival. He appealed all
officers of MTNL to make their best
efforts to improve the services and
revenue of the company and also asked if
their is any problem or requirement of
any thing in this direction, let it be
known to the Association so that matter
can be raised before the Management. CMD
has asked association to suggest ways to
improve the revenue.
78.2% fitment---GS
said that 78.2% fitment is our legitimate
right and we will achieve it. He said
that Forum of MTNL Unions & Associations
is resuming its protest action programme
shortly. If 78.2% fitment issue is not
resolved than all employees will go on
indefinite strike. All officers and
employees are appealed to be ready for a
big agitation programme to achieve our
legitimate right of 78.2% fitment.
Implementation of 3rd PRC in MTNL
He informed that
DPE will likely send cabinet note to
cabinet in the next week for approval of
3rd PRC recommendations, and hopefully
Cabinet approval will also come in this
month. He stressed that Association will
go to any extent to ensure that 3rd PRC
is implemented in MTNL. He said that
MTNL's bad financial condition is because
of govt policies and management's
inefficiency than why employees
should suffer. He also said that now
Telecom Sector is under four lakh crore
debt and govt is assuring Pvt Companies
that Govt will take care of this debt,
than why not few hundred crores for
legitimate dues of PSU employees. We will
fight upto last to achieve 78.2& fitment
and 3rd PRC implementation. Resolution of
these issues are important for MTNL
revival.
Retirement age of 58 years--
It is the part
of delloitte recommendation for MTNL
revival, which MTNL board has placed
before DOT, and DOT has asked MTNL to
calculate financial implication on Govt
if it is accepted. Associations & Unions
have already opposed it and now also it
will be opposed.
Other pending HR issues--
GS explained how
there is dissatisfaction and resentment
amongst the officers in different cadres
and streams because of long stagnation
and poor career progression in MTNL and
other issues like 30% corpus for post
retirement benefits to MTNL recruited
employees who are not covered in govt
pension scheme & trg increment and other
HR issue. GS said that Association is
persistently pursuing with management for
resolution of these issues for quite long
time, but inspite of getting convinced
with the arguments of the Association,
Management is not resolving these issues.
So, now for these pending HR issues, MEA
will launch protest action in the days to
come.

Higher Pension under para 11(3) of EPS
1995 vide EPFO letter No.
Pension-I/12/33/EPS Amendment/96/Vol II
dated 23.03.2017.
As per the Employees' Pension Scheme,
1995 a provision has been incorporated
in the Act in order to extend PF Pension
on Actual Basic & DA, i.e. 60 Months
average salary [Basic + DA + Stagnation
Increment] drawn up to the time of
completing 58 Years i.e. salary drawn
from commencement of 54 Yrs till 58 yrs.
For drawing the pension, the member need
to pay 8.33% of Basic & DA in excess of
Rs.5,000.00 [from 16.11.95 to
31.05.2001], in excess of Rs.6,500.00
[from 01.06.2001 to 31.08.2004] & in
excess of Rs.15,000 [from 1.09.2014 till
completing 58 Yrs] from the employer
contribution. This can be done by
transferring the amount lying under
Employers PF amount.
In addition to that they need to pay an
additional 1.16% contribution on the
differential Basic & DA , Government of
India contributes at 1.16% towards the
Pension only on the amount of
[Rs.5,000.00 from 16.11.95 to
31.05.2001, Rs.6,500 from 01.06.2001 to
31.08.2014 & Rs.15,000 from 01.09.2014
onwards].
Further they need to pay interest on the
differential amount so worked out as
above. If the member is coming forward to
accept this and the employer also comes
forward to agree, then the member will be
paid the Pension benefits on the average
Basic & DA drawn by them from 54 Yrs to
58Yrs [5 Years average salary]
The calculation of pension will be worked
out as follows :
Pensionable Service [No of Years of PF
Pension contributed from 16.11.1995 up to
completing 58 or 60 Yrs of age] X
Pensionable Salary / 70.
The Pension so worked out will be paid to
the member on completing 58 years or 60
yrs as the case may be till the death of
member. On death of Member, Pension will
be paid at 50% [of the pension amount
paid to the member up to his death] to
the Spouse or a minimum pension of
Rs.1,000/- pm. . In case the children
are less than 25 years of age, they will
be paid up to the age of 25 years at 25%
of the amount of the Pension Paid to the
spouse up to 2 children and so on.

Shri G P Yadav, CS Delhi shri Sunil Kumar
, CHQ Jt Secretary Shri Sunil Sonkar &
ACS Shri Rajkumar Sharma met CMD on

Assets
Monetization for generating revenue for

of vacant land & FAR in Delhi & Mumbai
was discussed in length, vital
information and suggestions to generate
revenue and save wasteful expenditure
were provided. CMD assured to take
actions on the information and
suggestions provided by Association. He
also informed about the various steps
being taken by Management in respect of
revenue generation through Assets
monetization.
Implementation of 3rd PRC in MTNL--GS
informed CMD that 3rd PRC
recommendations have been submitted to
the Govt and are likely to be accepted
by govt in next few months.
Association asked him to implement 3rd
PRC after the Govt orders in this
respect. A brief discussion was held in
which GS stressed that affordability
should not be the criteria for PRC
implementation, because employees are
not responsible for dwindling financial
condition of any PSU, the same views
have been strongly conveyed to 3rd PRC
which appreciated our views.
Counting
of training period for the purpose of
drawing increment--Association
took up this issue very strongly and
conveyed the resentment of the officers
who are being denied their legitimate
right as per govt orders. CMD informed
that he had noted on file to put up
this issue for amendment in RRs, which
is very much required to resolve this
issue. He assured that he will ensure
to get it approved in board, but the
amendment in RRs will be from
prospective date. It means that coming
batches will be covered and for old
batches ways and means will be explored
how this benefit can be extended from
retrospective date after amendment in
RRs.
Changing
SCF and Competitive quota as 75:25
instead of 50:50 for Sr Manager
Promotion till MTNL promotion policy is
revised in all disciplines--This
issue was discussed in details and all
the doubts of the CMD regarding this
issue were cleared to his satisfaction
and requested him to fill up the
resultant vacancies to bring some
relief to the officers who are
stagnating in the same cadre for last
twenty years. This time we were able to
justify our demand and convince CMD
that there is no problem if this is
done. Let us hope for best. we keep
fighting for justified demands
Promotion
of all AMs in different streams to DM
by diverting LICE quota to SCF quota--Association
stressed that the Number of AMs in
every stream are less than the
vacancies available in DM cadre in
every stream, so there is no need to
conduct the LICE, but by diverting LICE
quota to SCF quota, all AMs can be
promoted. But, CMD wants to LICE and
said that LICE will be notified
shortly.

Counting trg period for the
purpose of drawing increment--We
asked her to prepare the board note for
board approval to get amendment in RRs
as desired by CMD. She informed that RR
amendment will be from the prospective
date. we have suggested that amendment
in RRs is pre-condition to extend the
benefit to the already recruited
employees, so let RRs be amended and
put up the case further for
retrospective effect to cover all
employees who could not get this
benefit because of RR provisions. CMD
and Dir HR has already agreed in
principal. We will discuss this matter
further with CMD shortly.

Strike
notice deferred after the Forum meeting
with MTNL Management with CMD firm
commitment to get 78.2% approved from
DOT---
After the
long drawn protest and strike notice by
Forum of MTNL Unions and Associations'
indefinite strike notice w,e,f 28th Dec
2016, MTNL Management recommended to the
government for extending the benefit of
merger of 50% DA effectively amounting to
78.2% in its meeting on 8th
December 2016. But no firm commitment was
given by management to get it approved
from DOT and implement, so Forum
continued with its protest action of work
to rule, and mobilized employees and
officers through Area general body
meetings for indefinite strike w.e.f
28th December to get our legitimate
rights including 78.2% fitment and MTNL
Revival/Survival. Various RLC
conciliation meetings also held in RLC
(Central) , New Delhi office. A
big lunch hour central Area meeting was
held in Corporate office, which was

along with other office bearers Shri DPS
Chaudhary AGS, Shri Sunil Kumar, CS Shri
Subhash Gupta, Ex President MTNLMS
attended the meeting. All India General
Secretary, BMS, Shri Virjesh Upadhyay was
also present in the meeting.
CMD explained that board recommendation
has been sent to DOT, so there is no need
to go ahead with strike. But GS, MEA & GS
MTNLMS strongly raised that merely
recommending to DOT and seeking financial
support does not confirm the settlement
of issue and wanted firm commitment from
management that issue will be resolved in
a stipulated time. CMD firmly assured
that MTNL management will strongly pursue
in DOT and get the approval to implement
78.2% fitment at the earliest and also
assured that other issues will be
discussed and resolved amicably in near
future. He also agreed to to involve the
Association and Union in the discussion
and decisions to revive MTNL. After one
week, a Joint meeting of Management and
union/Association will be called to
discuss the revival plan and improvement
of services. At last CMD assured in
writing that Management will pursue in
DOT and appealed to withdraw the strike
notice.
In view of firm commitment and positive
approach of Managment to resolve 78.2%
fitment and other issues, and also due
participation of Association/Union in the
process of MTNL revival, Forum has
decided to defer the protest action of
strike notice.

Meeting
with Secretary (DOT) & Chairman, Telecom
Commission
on
MTNL revival--GS,
Shri V K Tomar along with AGS, Shri
Sanjai Kumar, CS, Delhi, Shri Sunil Kumar
& CT Shri Satyavir Singh met Secretary,
DOT, Shri J S Deepak on 22-11-16 and
discussed the MTNL Revival issue in
detail. Association stressed on MTNL &
BSNL merger. Secretary also agreed that
merger is the only permanent solution of
MTNL revival and survival, but there are
certain issues which need to be addressed
before merger and it will take some time.
GS asked him that till merger takes
place, there is need to focus on certain
issues to improve the financial condition
of the MTNL and also made clear that
employees are not responsible for today's
condition of MTNL. Association stressed
that first thing which is important for
MTNL revival is regular CMD and proper
coordination and trust amongst board of
Directors, and also employees
satisfaction, which is missing in MTNL.
And 2nd thing is the funds for expansion,
up gradation and maintenance of services.
Focus of the discussion was on these
issues and Secretary said that chances
are very rare that govt will provide
financial support and funds will have to
be generated by MTNL itself. He said that
he wanted to reduce staff cost through
VRS, but govt is not agreeing to give
financial support in this respect. He
said still he is making efforts to see
that VRS is agreed by govt with financial
support. He said assets monetization and
converting short term loans into long
term loans is being seen as viable
solution for funds generation and all
efforts are being made in this direction.
He said MTNL revival is the Top priority
of DOT now a days. Association informed
and assured him that employees and
officers are doing their level best and
ready to go to any extent to ensure the
MTNL revival.
Association submitted to him a detailed
MTNL revival plan which was shared by Dir
(HR & EB) with the Association on the
issues which were raised by Association
time and again before MTNL management,
DOT and Minister of communications..
AM(T) to DM(T) DPC for regular promotion

Once again
MTNL management shows its
unconcerned approach towards MTNL and its
Employees.
MTNL board meeting
was held yesterday 15-11-16, in which
78.2% fitment and M/S delloittee report
on revival were the agenda point, but
unconcerned management did not take any
decision on these issues and deferred for
next meeting.
Get ready to fight
to ensure MTNL revival and 78.2% fitment.
We have failed to understand that what is
the agenda of management, whether they
really want MTNL to be revived ?. We
neither see any action of the Management
to improve MTNL services and its revenue,
neither for employees satisfaction and
motivation which is the key of revival of
any company.

Meeting on MTNL Revival with MTNL
Management--Meeting
was held in committee room, Corporate
Office on 11-11-2016. Meeting was chaired
by Director (HR), other officers present
in the meeting were, Director (Tech),
Shri Sanjeev Kumar, GM(HR-I), GM(HR-II),
GM(NB), GM(Fin) CO,EDDelhi, CGM(WS),
PGM(D),GM(A), GM(IR), ED Mumbai along
with other officers of Mumbai Unit and
Executive Associations representatives of
Mumbai were on video conferencing. GS, Sh
V K Tomar along with Shri Praveen Passi,
CHQ Vice President, Shri P K Gupta, CHQ
Vice President, Shri D P S Chaudhary, AGS
& Shri Sunil Kumar, CS Delhi attended
meeting along with representatives of
other Associations. Shri P N Vasene
CHQ President & Shri G P Yadav Circle
Secretary Mumbai along with other office
bearers were on video conferencing.
M/S Delloitte, a consultant appointed by MTNL
management , submitted its
report which was taken for discussion.
The basic salient point in the report was
basically on as to how to revive the MTNL
both operationally and financially. The
time line suggested in the report for
revival of MTNL was given to be in year
2024, which is not an acceptable
preposition and Association asked to keep
time line for 2 to 3 years.
The thrust was on
reducing the retirement age to 58 years,
so as to reduce the staff cost. In turn
MEA suggested that instead of reducing
the retirement age, emphasis should be on
revenue growth by optimum utilization of
manpower. As
such, therefore, MEA along with other
Associations categorically rejected the
suggestion of reducing the age to 58
years in the report by M/S Delloittebut did
not oppose the VRS proposal of management
to reduce staff cost. ( if size of
the shoe is short, you can not cut the
foot to get fit in it, rather size of
shoe is to be increased to get foot fit
in it. Therefore revenue is to be
increased to reduce staff cost)
Association also
raised that the Delloitte report failed
in fully appreciating the need of HR
issues and staff satisfaction without
which revival of MTNL shall be a distant
dream.
GS also
raised certain issues to draw the
attention on how management's negative
approach towards HR issues is
demoralizing the officers, and asked to
resolve pending HR issues to prepare and
motivate officers to get MTNL revived.
GS also raised that
reducing staff cost alone cannot work in
revival of MTNL until and unless revenue
is increased. We have seen that even
after offloading the pension liability,
MTNL financial condition has not
improved, because our focus was on
reducing expenditure not on increasing
revenue. Now
time is to act on the revival plan
aggressively with the focus on certain
points like.
1.Staff
satisfaction/ HR issues
2.Equity
infusion by govt
3.
Land
monetization to generate funds for
expansion, up gradation & maintenance of
network
4.
Participation in New govt projects like
Digital India, smart city, cloud
computing etc
5.
Exploration of new resources for more
revenue generation

satisfaction and protect consumer
interests. BSNL and MTNL have a lot of
legacy problems. MTNL is worse. More than
70 Per cent of the revenue goes for
salaries and pension. Some spectrum which
they should not have procured, they had
to take out of compulsion of being a
government company. MTNL took a big loan
whose interest is a burden to pay. Their
financial condition kept deteriorating
since 2008. In MTNL’s case, we are trying
to revive it so that it can stand on its
own. I believe that the existence of BSNL
and MTNL is required to ensure healthy
competition. we are not keeping them
alive artificially. Employees of MTNL
also realize this. The problem is that
the average age of employees in MTNL is
54-55. We have to infuse new blood into
the organisation. And we are working on
that. Our intention is to make MTNL
professionally-run, competent and
efficient.
