GS MEA Sh V K Tomar, CS Delhi Sh Sunil Kumar and GS MTNLMS Sh Dharmraj ji addressed the agitation.

DHR informed that land assets of MTNL Delhi & Mumbai are being identified for valuation to create SPV. This is being processed very fast to ensure early decision on SPV creation to pave way for the merger of MTNL & BSNL. MEA expressed concern regarding aggravating HR issues and widening gap between MTNL & BSNL executives’ position and pressed for early resolution of all HR issues before the merger and expressed deep anguish over undue over delay in settlement of various HR issues already raised by MEA through various meetings, correspondences and agitation programs.

2-- Abnormal delay in holding DPCs for regular promotions in all cadres over all disciplines:

MEA strongly conveyed anguish and discontentment of officers of MTNL over reluctant attitude of MTNL management towards carrier prospects of officers and delaying regular promotions on one or other pretext which is also affecting the performance of officers and company as a whole. Stagnation and pending promotions in Telecom, Fin, Elect, Civil, Mktg, HR & Legal were also raised to DHR and demanded immediate filling up of all vacant posts in all executive cadres and make the Time Bound Functional Promotion Policy as was assured at the time of absorption of officers from DoT into MTNL.
DHR was apprised that DMs/ SDEs are waiting for their 2nd promotion for the last 20 years and are Looking After SM and DGM posts for the last many years.

It was strongly conveyed to DHR that further delay in regular promotions in all executive cadres, will compel MEA to resort to protest action and may advise officers to refuse Looking After promotions.

Promotions of HR/ Mktg/ Legal streams--

 This issue was specifically discussed keeping in mind that there is no such stream in BSNL and that may become a contentious issue after merger so some decision (of merger or otherwise) of these streams is required and 1st promotion of all left out officers to be ensured before the merger. MEA suggested some options for these streams. Regarding AM(Fin) to DM(Fin) & AM (Elect) to DM pending orders, DHR was apprised that 2005/08/09 batch officers are still waiting for their 1st promotion and pressed for their immediate promotions.

DHR acknowledged all the concerns and asked HR Team to come up with the details of pending promotions, seniority list, vacancies etc in all executive cadres in a week's time so that matters may be analyzed and discussed further with CMD to proceed ahead.

4. Including working spouse in MTNL OPD scheme This issue is in process.

5. Antidation of promotion date:

6. Issues related to HR integration in case of MTNL/ BSNL merger:

Meeting with CMD, MTNL:

Yesterday ie on 26th Nov 2021, CMD, MTNL Sh P K Purwar called Forum representatives to discuss the issues raised by forum through its protest action notice. Dir (HR) Sh Arvind Vadnekar and GM(HR) Sh Sandeep Kasker were also present in the meeting. Following issues were discussed.

Pay revision--CMD quoted affordability clause of DPE OM regarding pay revision of Executives and said that without getting this clause relaxed, pay revision can not be done for executives and non executives. So the Ministry will have to take it to the cabinet for relaxation. But he agreed to start the process of formation of a wage revision committee for non executives in MTNL , for which a letter has been written to DOT to seek permission for the same. Forum mentioned that majority of staff of MTNL and BSNL was not born in these companies but was recruited by DOT and transferred/ absorbed in these MTNL/BSNL, and now these companies have been categorized as strategically important for the govt by the cabinet while approving the revival package in 2019, so on these grounds , relaxation in affordability clause can be sought from cabinet. CMD acknowledged that these are the logical points which will be taken up by the management with DOT in support of relaxation in affordability clause.
Pension revision--Forum raised that Pension revision should be de-linked with pay revision and be revised as per 7th CPC. CMD said he supports the demand of de-linking pension revision from pay revision, but DOT has taken a stand to link pension revision with pay revision. He also informed that a detailed discussion was held in DoT recently on this issue and he is going to provide the detailed supporting documents and facts to delink the pension revision with pay revision.
Pension Fund under 30% corpus--After a detailed discussion, CMD agreed that pension fund under 30% corpus will be created in this financial year, most probably with in two months.
Counting of casual service for the purpose of pension--CMD assured that he will go through the case and try to help to get this issue agreed in DOT.
Merger of MTNL/BSNL-- CMD maintained that merger can be done only after making MTNL loan free company. He informed that he had a meeting with the finance Secretary to form a SPV (special purpose vehicle) to park the loan liability of MTNL and this was supported by Secretary DOT.
IDA arrear payment of non executives- CMD assured orders will be issued next week.

MTNL Revival & Future Roadmap: Forum leaders expressed their concern on the present state of affairs in MTNL. CMD shared that present state of MTNL is very critical and to improve the situation intervention of GOI is must now, without this it will be difficult to survive for a few months. He is proposing/pursuing  GOI to take decision to park loan liability and assets in a SPV for long term survival, and till the decision on the same is taken and implemented sovereign guarantee for loan to run the operation
.He is also suggesting  merger of MTNL with BSNL after  delisting and resolving HR issues once loan/liability issue resolved. He said that , Since the New Minister and Secretary, DOT took the charge, a  positive and solution oriented approach is seen. Several discussions/Presentations held In DOT and finance ministry for MTNL/BSNL revival, particularly regarding MTNL debt issue . He hopes for some positive outcome from GOI in this year only and its implementation in the 1st Quarter of next year. 
Salary payment Issue: CMD said the financial state of MTNL is very critical, MTNL has to make a loan repayment in mid of Next month to avoid default. Hence salary may get delayed due to this.cForum Leader emphasized to ensure salary payment before diwali, asked to raise issue in DOT if required. CMD said he is trying his best on this.

Meeting with Addl Secretary, DOT-

GS, MEA Shri V K Tomar & GS, MTNL MS Shri Dharamraj Singh met AST & JST on 15-07-2021 and discussed following issues-. Jt Secretary (A) and Dir( Project/MTNL), DoT were also present in the meeting.
1. MTNL revival–Forum representatives expressed their deep concern over the uncertainty
surrounding around the future prospects of MTNL and its Employees in view of non implementation of revival package except retrenchment of employees through VRS. It was stressed that MTNL revival was envisaged through three basic components of revival package (i) reducing staff cost through VRS, (ii) Discharge of debt liability through proceeds of monetization and (iii) merger with BSNL. But, owing to lack of Govt’s initiatives in granting requisite permission on each land parcel, land monetization has become hard nut to crack while merger has been deferred indefinitely by PMO. So the fate of MTNL and its Employees is hanging in uncertainty. To add further worries, MTNL copper wire services are on the verge of collapsing because of lack of planning and management initiatives. On other hand, no efforts are being made to expand the promising FTTH services, which only could give a fresh lease of life to MTNL. Representatives also expressed concerns about the logic behind and thinking of DOT to transfer MTNL’s WS, FTTH and other premier services and entrusting the official responsibility of MTNL management to BSNL’s functionaries when merger itself is being denied. Forum representatives
desired clarification from AST whether DOT has planned MTNL Revival through merger with BSNL as per revival package, or as a separate entity, and asked for protection of employees’ interests in any case. AST said that MTNL can’t be revived as a separate entity, so DOT has planned MTNL revival ultimately through merger with BSNL only, but merger has been deferred because of delay in land monetization and pending discharge of loan liability. She said MTNL
management has been given to BSNL board after due consideration to bring operational synergy before actual merger has to take place. She said BSNL can’t take over MTNL operations immediately so it is working on VON pattern.
She also said that DOT is closely monitoring the revival process of MTNL and doing it’s best to get land monetization as early as possible. AST was having the wrong impression and adverse feedback that MTNL officers are not working
sincerely and properly and that officers are not even attending phone calls. GS strongly argued in defense and briefed her about heaps of field problems and failure of management to provide bare minimum Man and Material resources and that vendor & and their staff are not listening to concerned field officers. She asked Forum representatives to sit with MTNL management and
short out all these issues and leave the DOT for bigger issues of land monetization and arranging funds for MTNL. She also appealed forum representatives to improve MTNL services

2. Staff issues—Issues like delay in promotions, non-settlement of social welfare issues, interest on delayed payment of GPF/CPF were also brought to her knowledge and requested to intervene
3. 5% IDA fitment to retired employees who retired before 01-01-2018: issue was briefed to her that 5% IDA fitment issue is pending for last two years and now all clarifications/ objections/ clarity on fund liabilities have been clarified and settled by Finance and Establishment wings and now only Secretary’s approval is required. She was requested to get this long pending case settled at the earliest. AST and JST said that they are seized of this case and will do needful.

RTOWA is strong supporter of Forum, but because of restriction of DoT to allow two representatives only in view of covid , we could not take thier representative to meeting.

At 6 PM we met CMD.. had a detailed discussion on medical issues, MTNL revival and other issues .
After detailed discussion, CMD agreed to revisit IPD and OPD medical schemes and assured to work out and take appropriate steps shortly in this direction.
Thanks to all for making Forum call successful.

GS writes letter to CMD, MTNL regarding delay in regular promotions of executives. <<letter>>

GS, MEA Sh V K Tomar and GS, MMS, Shri Dharamraj Singh met Dir(HR) on 24 th Feb and discussed the issue of immediate opening of individual EPF accounts in EPFO so that needy employees/ officers can withdraw epf for thier requirement. He was informed that KYC approval is pending in CO. He assured that KYC approval will be completed in 10 days and he asked representatives to pursue with EPFO for opening the EPF accounts.
Both the General Secretaries met Regional EPF Commissioner on 25th Feb and discussed the issue of EPF account opening of both working and retired employees in length. He informed that still there are some discrepancies in some cases and some more information is awaited from MTNL. EPF Commissioner and other concerned officers talked to Dir (HR) and other concerned officer of MTNL during meeting itself and information required by EPFO were asked from MTNL officers.

After one hour meeting, EPF commissioner assured that EPF accounts of working employees of MTNL will be opened by 15th March 2021.

Regarding retired employees EPF payment, Dir (HR) said about Rs 150 crore out of Rs 395 crore can be arranged for which efforts are being made. Rest of the amount will depend on the disposal of equities/ instruments or any other decision at the level of CMD/ DoT.

GS, MEA along with Shri D P S Chaudhary, Shri Sunil Sonkar & Shri Sunil Kumar met Director (HR) today 19th Feb 2021 and discussed following issues--

MTNL is EBITA positive after VRS, only issue is the loan liability which if is taken by Govt and management takes proper decisions and actions, MTNL can independently survive.

<<news>>

1. Merger of MTNL with BSNL/Roadmap of revival of MTNL---Forum representatives apprised him about the deterioration, non- up gradation & expansion of MTNL services and also lack of initiative,  lack of proper planning/ roadmap  on the part of management to revive the MTNL even after revival package  by Govt. A detailed discussion was held on revival. Forum asked for merger of MTNL with BSNL as per cabinet decision. JS said that if MTNL is merged with BSNL with present loan liability than total loan of merged entity will be so high that no bank will give loan to the merged entity and than it will not be possible to run the company .So, merger has been deferred till MTNL loan is paid through asset monetization, but merger will take place and that is why charge of MTNL CMD has been given to CMD, BSNL so that merger issues can be tacked properly by single management. He said many steps on technical front are being taken towards merger.
2. Pay revision--Forum stressed that a large number of employees have retired through VRS and so staff cost has reduced drastically but work load has increased on existing employees many fold, so now 3rd PRC/ wage revision should be implemented. JS repeated that  DPE guidelines and financial viability of the companies do not allow pay revision and said that we have to wait till financial condition of the companies improves.
3. Career progression/ promotions--Representatives apprised JS that no regular promotion has been given to officers for many years and they are working on higher posts on looking after basis with out any career progression and succession plan so there is great de-motivation and discontentment amongst them. We also apprised him that there will be no financial implication in any promotion to officers because all have crossed the substantive grade of the promotion cadres. We requested  DoT  to interven in such matters which are being stretched unnecessarily by MTNL management for years together. This reluctant approach of Managment is adversely affecting the performance of employees and company as a whole
4. 30% post retirement benefits--Corpus for pension to MTNL recruited employees-This issue was explained in detail to JS and intervention of DoT  was sought to get it settled at par with BSNL
5. Additional 5% IDA neutralization for retired employees--- Forum strongly raised this issue and expressed its resentment that such a small but important  issue is pending with DoT for last more than two years in spite of vigorous persuasion by FORUM and RTOWA . Joint Secretary asked Director (Est) to explain the whole issue and its present status . Dir (Est) explained the issue in detail and informed that after some modifications it is now in process to decide the liability of DoT and MTNL. Forum requested Joint Secretary to expedite the case so that much delayed 5% IDA neutralization case of retired employees can be settled at the earliest. He assured to expedite the case.
6.  Clarification regarding permanent retirement of VRS optees whose court proceedings are pending---There are three types of cases

                > against whom MTNL has filed court case--DoT has clarified that no permanent retirement till the court decision.

                > outside department cases--DoT has already clarified to BSNL/MTNL as per DoP&T guidelines

                  >--Case filed by employees against MTNL --This case is with DoT for clarification. We argued that in such cases outcome of court will not invite any disciplinary action or recovery so such employees be retired on permanent basis and their terminal benefits should  be paid.

Office bearers raised many issues related to inefficiency, slackness, misadventure, indecisiveness and sense of total unconcern to company of the senior management in blatant disregard to Govt desire to revive the company.

Meeting with CMD

Forum representatives, Sh V K Tomar, GS, MEA, Shri Dharamraj Singh ,GS, MTNL MS, Shri Mahavir Singh, President , MTNL MS, Shri Ratnesh Kumar, SG, ITEF & Shri Pawan Dixit, Joint Secretaryc, MEA met CMD Shri P K Purwar on 15-10-2020 in BSNL CO and discussed following issues.

*Revival /merger of MTNL with BSNL*—His opinion regarding merger of MTNL and BSNL was that merger of these companies with the loan liability of about twenty thousand crore on each will not be good for combined entity , so he is not in favor of merger as of now. Forum representatives expressed their concern over the deteriorating condition of MTNL and rising fault pendency
and also asked to increase focus on FTTH business and prepare plan to capitalize on recent decision of GOI of mandatory use of MTNL/BSNL services for government department and PSUs. Though CMD cherished the concern of forum representatives on MTNL condition and he apprised about the action being taken by management to clear the piled up pending faults and set right shortcomings in the SLA based tenders, but was not having any expansion and up gradation plan or road map for MTNL growth except sanction of Rs 10 crore for purchasing 100 OLT each for Delhi and Mumbai to increase FTTH connections for this year. As usual, he cited the non availability of funds for further expansion and up gradation plan. About the funds raising of Rs 6500/ crore through bonds with sovereign guaranty of Govt of India, he informed that Rs 4300 crore have been raised through bonds which is for repaying/ restructuring of loans. Forum has pressed for arranging more funds through remaining portion of bonds and borrowing for expansion and up gradation of services for revival of MTNL

*Pending dues of VRS/ normal retirees*—Forum strongly raised that many dues are still pending of VRS optees and normal retirees even after 9 months of their retirement and so they are facing lot of difficulties in managing their post retirement future plans and liabilities. CMD informed that there is shortfall of about 1000/ crores in Trusts because securities in which trusts money is invested could not be sold out and showed inability to meet this short fall from MTNL because of non availability of funds except sale of mutual funds of Rs 100/ crore with a loss of 4%. Forum has pressed for arranging more funds through bonds and borrowing to meet the requirement of pending payments of retirees. He assured attempts to arrange funds to meet requirements.

*Corpus for post retirement benefits to MTNL recruited employees (30% Corpus)*—a detailed discussion was held on this issue. CMD apparently was unwilling to create this corpus on flimsy ground of pay difference in MTNL and BSNL. We argued that it is social security issue recommended by 2nd PRC for living dignified life after retirement , so it cannot be linked and compared with the pay scales of MTNL/BSNL. We have strongly conveyed him that it is our legitimate right which cannot be left without settlement.

*Holding of Pending DPCs in all cadres*-- DPCs for regular promotions in different cadres are pending for quite long time. When DPC calendar was sent to CMD for his approval, he asked post VRS restructuring in all cadres through a committee headed by Director (HR) and go ahead with DPC after restructuring. Committee submitted its report to CMD. Now, CMD says that there are diverse views of committee members in respect of restructuring of posts so file has been sent back to review it. We have argued that pending DPCs be conducted immediately against the vacant posts and let any committee/ consultant decide restructuring/ comprehensive promotion policy in PSU heirarchy for future.

*Counting casual service for the purpose of pension and gratuity for those who have served more than five years but less than 10 years*—CMD assured MTNL will forward the case to DOT for n/a

*Releasing terminal benefits of employees/ officers whose cases are pending in court of law*—CMD clarified where MTNL has gone in the court against any employee, his/her case will be decided after the court decision and in cases where employee has gone in court against MTNL, his/her terminal benefits should not be withheld and this case has been sent to DOT for clarification.

*Hindi translator’s financial upgradation to E2 scale*—this case was discussed in detail and CMD was requested to consider it on the line already principally agreed by him.

*Media report --MTNL will be VNO (Virtual Network Operator) of BSNL*— CMD said that It is the matter which is to be decided between both the companies, but nothing has never been discussed and decided between MTNL and BSNL. So there is no ground of Media report in this matter.

*regarding handing over of WS service to BSNL*- CMD informed that DOT wants it but no decision has yet been taken on this matter.



*Our protest action will continue for the settlement of our demands raised in protest notice*
 

1.  Revival/ Survival of MTNL/ Merger with BSNL

4. Arrangement. for immediate payment of all pending dues such as Ex-gratia, GPF/EPF, Leave Encashment, GSLIS, Gratuity payment of EPF optee/Direct Recruited VRS optee and CGHS Medical card deposit fee  reimbursement.

Under these circumstances people in Delhi & Mumbai are more prone to threat of COVID-19. MTNL being a public service provider at all these places, it's employee are more so.

In view of this, it is earnestly required that MTNL take suitable precautionary steps immediately and provide proper protective equipments to it's employee at work, fool proof arrangement for regular sanitizing the facilities and premises and closer of non-urgent public interactions at Sanchar Haats, NCR Counters, which can be worked online and telephonically, at least for the time being.

Please note that MTNL employee are already undergoing financial hardships and any untoward incident may trigger panic and impact of company revival efforts also.

1. Stopping of exgratia payment to those whose court/ vig cases pending-- Association argued that ex-gratia payment should not be stopped in the cases in which their is no court case against employees but employees have made court case against management/ govt to get their benefits, because in such cases in any condition employees are not going to be punished, so their is no ground to stop their ex-gratia (cases like 206 seniority, pro-rata optees or individual cases). PGM (HR) said that all these decisions have been taken in consultation of DOT decision can't be reviewed without DOT consent.
2.  RSTC retention extension for VRS optees--Association raised this issue for issuing common order for retention of RSTC . She said that EDs are authorized for the same and issue can be discussed with both the EDs.

 was held on 12-03-19 in Kidwai Bhawan which was presided over by Shri J R Gangwar, Vice President of Delhi Circle. Large number of office bearers attended meeting. Circle Secretary Delhi Shri Sunil K and General Secretary Sh V K Tomar briefed the house about the current issues of non payment of salary on time and revival of MTNL. It was clearly explained that there is threat to the revival of MTNL and if permanent solution of revival is not done than this situation of non payment of salary will become the permanent feature in MTNL which will l put employees and their families and great financial and mental stress, so we have to fight with full might for getting MTNL revive to ensure regular salary payment and other benefits.

GS  reminded the house of the past situations where we have come out with flying colors and achieved our all legitimate rights because of persistent struggle and persuasion by using all sort of means available in trade unins,  and assured this time also we will not leave any stone unturned to see the MTNL to come back to good financial condition and settlement of all legitimate rights like 3rd PRC, pension etc. But it will be achieved through great unity and prolonged struggle which we have started through the platform of united forum of MTNL Unions and Associations of Delhi and Mumbai. 

It was also informed that for last two months salary was paid only after the protest of forum and  this month also salary is going to paid only after the notice of Forum that if salary is not paid by 14th March than Forum will go on protest from 15th March. But this is not the way to run the company we have to find a solution where salary is paid on time with any protest. For this Forum has decided that all employees and Officers of Delhi and Mumbai will write to Secretary DOT, Minister and Prime Minister that either you ensure regular timely payment of salary, pay revision and other benefits or take all of us back to DOT to keep your assurances that after absorption benefits of employees will be better than govt. To decide further line of action, Joint meeting of Forum will be held on 14th  March.

It was also explained how after long struggle and persuasion of  our forum, revival plan was prepared and sent to DOT by our management after board approval. Now, Forum is doing all out efforts to see the approval of DCC, and will go to any any extant to ensure revival of MTNL and legitimate rights of employees.  All employees have to be ready for any sort of protest and struggle to achieve our goal.
