Meeting With CMD, MTNL
In response to the issue raised by
MEA
regarding managerial efforts to
improve the performance and financial
position of MTNL, CMD
called a meeting on 03-09-2011 in
corporate office committee room.
MEA, TEAM, MTNL staff
union
representatives were invited, from
MEA, Com GS
along with president,
Dy GS& OS
attended meeting. From management
side, CMD, Dir (HR), ED Delhi, ED (OP)
CO, GM (Fin) CO, PGM (D), PGM (O), GM
(HR), Jt GM (HR), GM (A) Delhi, GM
(com) WS, GM (op), WS &Manager (IR)
were present in the meeting.
In the beginning of the meeting, CMD
said that this meeting should not be
seen as meeting of management and
Associations but collective efforts of
all stake holders to improve the
financial position of the company
which has gone bad to worse. After
this, a slid of financial position of
MTNL was shown in which it was focused
that staff cost is almost equal to the
total revenue of the company and other
expenditures like license fee,
operation and adm exp, revenue sharing
charges, interest on loan etc are met
through borrowings.
After
this, CMD said that this situation can
not be maintained for a long and if we
could not generate more revenue, it
may bring effect on staff wages, which
we don’t want to do until and unless
there is compelling situation. So he
asked every one to do his best at
every level with out any blame game,
otherwise every body will have the
scratch of falling financial condition
of the company. CMD and Dir (HR) were
very optimistic about turning around
the company if all will work with full
dedication and devotion to improve the
individual performance and also the
performance of the company. They said
that there is still lot of potential
in the company only thing required is
thrust to rise to the occasion and
commit to our self to turn around the
company
CMD
divulged the management plan/strategy
to generate more revenue from 3G, BWA
and out sourcing. He said that
management is in the process to
finalize the deals of franchises and
out sourcing and expect-
500 crore through franchises
of 3G
500 crore through franchises
of BWA
300 crore through outsourcing
of spare capacity
But
he said that this Rs1300/- crore is
not sufficient and to make the losses
good we require another Rs1000/- crore
for which we have to improve our
services and stop churning of broad
band and mobile connections.
In
the next spell of the meeting,
problems in maintaining these services
were discussed. GS, MEA thanked
management for canceling the transfer
orders of executives from Delhi to
Mumbai
and assured that Association will take
absolute pain to improve the
performance of the company and
appreciated the step of management to
conduct such type of meeting to
discuss financial position and
performance of the company and also
suggested not to think of any cut on
salary but to focus on revenue
generation. CMD asked the reasons of
broad band churning from every
representative. Representatives
expressed many reasons for broadband
disconnection ranging from,
unavailability of wi-fi modem, clip
instrument, poor cable network,
shortage and poor quality of other
store items etc. PGM (O) informed that
10000 clip instruments have been
distributed in areas today and wi-fi
modems will be available by Sep end.
CMD
said that other than the problems told
by Association which he has observed
through inspection is the poor
punching and jointing of drop wires
and jumper wires and also the
slackness of staff to attend faults
promptly, he showed the complaints of
high profile customers in this regard.
Other issues like separate tender for
mtce, pathetic condition of copper and
fiber cable, AMC of OFC equipments,
non availability of spares in OFC,
poor signaling of mobile network and
its remedies etc were also discussed
and noted by concerned officers. CMD
asked them to take actions on the
issues discussed.
At
the end of the meeting CMD and Dir
(HR) reiterated that their message
that every one has to do his/her work
with full dedication and devotion with
the available resources with out
indulging in the blame game should go
down upto base level. He said that
management is making all efforts to
make available all resources for
smooth functioning of the company. Dir
(HR) asked every one to commit
yourself that I will do my best to
turn around the company. Meeting
lasted for 3 hours and ended with the
hope that things will improve in the
days to come and such type of review
meetings will be held frequently to
exchange views and find solutions of
the problems.

Grand
Success of Lunch Hour Demonstration
30th
August program of lunch hour
demonstration at GM offices was grand
success in all Areas. Officers turned
up in the demonstration in large
number and expressed their resentment
against victimization of executives
and erroneous policies of inept
management which are badly affecting
the financial condition of MTNL.
Meeting With CMD
CMD
called Association representatives and
explained financial position of MTNL
and tried to justify the devious
action of management to transfer
officers from
Delhi to
Mumbai and appealed not to go
on agitation path. Association made it
clear that today’s horrific financial
condition of MTNL is the fall out of
wrong government/MTNL policies and
decisions, and this condition can not
be improved by creating the fear in
the executives rather it will be
counter productive. To turn around the
company, a team spirit is to be
created in MTNL and policies are to be
improved. Association demanded
immediate cancellation of unwarranted
transfer orders and fitting action on
the concerns raised by Association for
the turn around of the company. CMD
was positive in the discussion, but
meeting remained inconclusive.
Further Action
All executives are requested to make 3rd
Sep lunch hour demonstration in front
of ED office a grand success to get
our demands settled. We may also have
to further intensify our agitation
program. Be prepared.

In
response to the draft of MTNL
transfer policy 2011 SG MEA has
replied to DiR(HR) Corporate Office,
& opposed inter-Circle Transfer,
the content of the reply are as
below --
TO
Dir(HR)
MTNL CO,
Sir,
It is in response to the draft of
MTNL transfer policy 2011, which
I received on my mail from Jt GM
(HR) on 6th August 2011
and was asked to give views on this
by 9th August 11. It
shows that MTNL management is in
hurry to finalize this transfer
policy which has the provision of
inter circle transfers between Delhi
and Mumbai. MTNL is already having
inter and intra GM area rotational
transfer policy which is being implemented
very smoothly in spite of the fact
that these rotational transfers
are neither in the interest of service
nor employees, and have proved to
be counter productive. Now inclusion
of inter circle transfers between
two cities which are separated by
more than 1500 Km distance in this
policy indicates that management
wants to victimize, harass and create
a fear amongst the executives. This
approach will never be helpful in
turning around the company, rather
it will be more counter productive
and will be misused by some senior
officers who himself are useless
for the company. Therefore, we strongly
oppose the inter circle transfers.
A detailed letter on the subject
will be sent shortly after discussion
in CEC.
Regards
V.K.
Tomar

Secretary
Genral Sh. V.K. Tomar wrote to Dir
(HR) MTNL Corporate Office about
Revision of benchmarks for promotion/upgradation
of executives. The context of the
letter is as below :----
We
have been requesting you to hold
old DPCs with old bench marks and
review the revised benchmarks with
the consultation of Executives Associations,
which was agreed by your good self,
but was not decided. Later, in a
meeting with CMD on 30th
May 2011 in which your good self
was also present, it was agreed
that Association will give its views
on the revision of benchmarks which
will be reviewed as and when BSNL
comes out with revised bench marks.
Now, BSNL has come out with a proposal
to revise the existing bench marks
and has sought the views of Executives’
Association in this regard.
Therefore,
keeping in view the above facts,
we are sending you our views on
the revision of bench marks. We
hope this time MTNL management would
adopt the proper way of proposing
and implementing any policy matter
in consistence of HR procedures
which appeared missing last time
when new bench marks were decided
unilaterally and implemented for
retrospective DPCs |

Meeting
with GM (Adm) ---GS along
with DGS and Area Secretary (HQ)
Com J.P.Sharma met GM (Adm) on 28-07-2011
and discussed following issues.
1.
Delay in review of ACRs below bench
mark—GS told him that
no GM has sent back ACRs after reviewing
them. GM (A) said that he has sent
a strong reminder to all GMs for
sending the reviewed CRs at the
earliest.
2. Lengthy
and complicated procedure in quarter
allotment and allotment of non-livable
quarters —GS apprised
GM (A) that newly recruited officers
have been complaining to the Association
that the quarter allotment procedure
is very lengthy and complicated
in Delhi while it is smooth in Mumbai.
They have been telling us that no
options are taken at the time of
application but arbitrarily quarters
are allotted in Noida and than allow
for application for change of quarter.
In some cases non livable quarters
are allotted. GM (A) said that vacant
quarters are available in Noida
and Rohini only, so first time,
allotment is made in these two colonies
and than seniority is maintained
for change of quarters. But, he
assured to look into other options
to make the procedure smooth. As
far as non-livable quarters are
concerned, he said no such complaint
has ever been received in his office,
he asked GS to tell the officers
that if such is the case, they should
immediately complain to his office.
3. Deduction
of HRA and hostel charges from the
officers residing in transit hostels
on sharing basis-Association
brought to his knowledge that 4
newly recruited JTOs are residing
in the transit hostel on sharing
basis for which they were to pay
Rs1750/- each. But the HRA and hostel
rent both are being deducted from
their salary. Association asked
GM (A) to decide to deduct either
HRA or hostel rent. GM (A) assured
to look into the matter
4. Promotions
in the executive cadres-GM
(A) said that the demand of Association
to fill posts in different executive
cadres is being considered. DE to
DGM looking after orders has been
issued. SDE to DE looking after
orders will be issued in a day or
so. JTO to SDE offtg/lA promotion
process has been started, CRs have
been called for.
5. Accepting
authority—GS informed
GM (A) that some GMs are still confused
about whether the present GM or
the GM of the period under review
is accepting authority. GM (A) made
it clear that the present GM is
the accepting authority.
6. APR Performa
for SDE in E-5-GS told to
GM (A) that some officers are confused
about which APR Performa (E1 to
E4 or E5 to E9) is to be filled
up by SDE in E5 scale. GM (A) made
it clear that substantive post grade
Performa is to be filled up ,ie
in case of SDE in E5, E1 to E4 Performa
is to be filled up.

Meeting
with PGM (O) ---GS along
with DGS Com Sunil Kumar &
AGS Com Sanjai Kumar met PGM (O)
on 27-7-2011 and discussed the
problems of field officers and
shortage of store items to provide
and maintain the broad band services.
Association also told him that
the intimidation of transfer and
other action will not serve the
purpose of earning more revenue;
rather it will create unnecessary
fear which will demoralize and
depress the officers. GS told
that management is required to
manage the resources and prepare
plan of action and strategies
to earn more revenue, and to effectively
implement the plan and strategies,
a proper work culture and working
conditions are to be created by
the management. PGM (O) said that
except wi-fi modem, there is no
shortage of any item. He said
that tender of wi-fi modem has
been finalized by corporate office,
delivery of modems is expected
by September, but he stressed
that there are about 1.5 lakhs
recovered modems available in
Delhi, so the working modems can
be utilized and faulty can be
send to vendor for repair. PGM
(O) also gave the static of land
line plan and revenue.
Plan Per
month per customer average revenue
250---- Rs. 550
500---- Rs. 1000
1000---- Rs. 1500
2000----- Rs. 3200
So, the above static
shows that customer of every plan
makes more than free calls. Therefore,
every time, telephone goes faulty,
we loose revenue and loss of revenue
increases with the delay in fault
rectification. So, we can stop revenue
lose by clearing the faults quickly.
Association asks
its Area Secretaries to meet their
concerned Area GMs and take the
status of availability of store
items and other resources and discuss
plans and strategies to earn revenue,
and contact to CHQ for any support
or action at HQ level.

Meeting
of United Forum of MTNL Unions and
Associations with MTNL Management--
regarding pension issue
MTNL management
called a meeting of united forum
on 21-07-2011 to brief the latest
development on pension issue. From
management side, CMD, Dir (Fin),
Dir (HR), GM (A),Delhi, Jt GM (HR),
DGM (IR) were present. Meeting was
attended by representatives of all
Unions and Associations. Com V.K.Tomar,
SG, Com S.N.Prasad, GS, Mumbai,
Com Jagvir Singh, President represented
the MEA. Mumbai representatives
of all Unions/Associations were
on video conferencing and the whole
proceeding was recorded by audio
recorder. At the very outset, Dir
(HR) briefed that in a meeting with
MTNL management and DoT officers,
Hon’ble MOC&IT Shri Kapil
Sibal has said that if MTNL employees
want parity of pension with BSNL
than they should also accept parity
of pay with BSNL, and asked CMD
MTNL to take view of MTNL Unions
and Associations in this regard.
After Dir (HR)’s brief, AM(HR)
gave a presentation to show the
difference in pay in MTNL and BSNL
in different executives and non-executives
cadres, and also the recovery in
case parity of scale is accepted.
After this presentation, Dir (HR)
asked Union/ Association representatives
to give their views on the MOC&IT’s
proposal. All Unions and Associations
were of the view that source of
payment of pension has nothing to
do with pay scale and amount of
pension. Pension is calculated by
a CCS pension rule 1972 for both
MTNL and BSNL. Our demand is only
to get same pension from DOT which
is paid by MTNL. Therefore, it is
illogical to reduce the pay for
paying pension from DOT with the
fact that MTNL is ready to pay the
pension contribution to DOT according
to MTNL pay scales. In the light
of above facts, all Unions and Associations
unanimously rejected the proposal
of MOC &IT to reduce pay scales
to get pension from DOT. But UF
stressed that it is our legitimate

Bonanza
for loss making MTNL, gets Rs 177
cr income tax refund
Dogged
with low performance and cash crisis,
the income tax refund comes as a
big relief for the PSU
PTI
| June 16 2011
In
a bonanza for the loss making telecom
PSU, state-run MTNL on Wednesday
received over Rs 177 crore as income
tax refund for the year 2010-11.
"MTNL has received a refund
order amounting to Rs 177.76 crore
from the Income Tax Department pertaining
to Assessment Year 2010-11,"
MTNL said in a filing to the Bombay
Stock Exchange. MTNL had won the
case in the Income Tax tribunal
against Income Tax Department for
a refund of over Rs 1,200 crore
in tranches. MTNL was earlier denied
to consider the licence fee as business
expense and was therefore charged
income tax on it for nearly eight
years. The PSU had challenged this
and had won the case in the tribunal.
The company in financial year 2010-11
showed improvement in its revenue.
In FY'11, total income rose to Rs
3,841.2 crore as against Rs 3,781
reported in FY 2009-10.
However, the company posted a net
loss of Rs 2,826 crore, up 8.27
per cent from Rs 2,610.9 crore in
the same period previous year. Profit
from the cellular service of the
company had been declining drastically.
In FY'11, loss of the company in
this segment increased more than
10-fold from a profit margin of
Rs 34.73 crore to Rs 346.47 crore
loss. The latest report of TRAI
on telecom subscription shows that
the company added only 367 new mobile
subscribers in the month of April.
The company had been facing cash
crunch and hence decided to restructure
its Rs 7,000 crore loan taken for
buying 3G and BWA spectrum last
year. The company is learnt to have
restructured Rs 3,500 crore of debt,
repaying Rs 500 crore and tying
up with two state-run banks for
the rest Rs 3,000 crore.
Under this kind of performance and
cash crisis, the income tax refund
for the company has come as a big
relief for the PSU.

and that not a word or comma can

which is the essential component
of pay revision ordered by DPE,
and also raised the issue of 50%
IDA merger with basic pay as and
when it crosses 50%, which is likely
to cross in 2011 only. NCOA along
with many points, demanded that
next pay revision should be effective
from 01-01-2012, because Justice

Meeting
with CMD
SG along with Sh. Jagvir Singh,
Sh B.S.Dalal and Sh. Sunil Kumar
met CMD on 31st May 2011. Dir
(HR) was also present in the meeting.
Following issues were discussed.
1. VRS—Association
sought the clarification on the
VRS issue in the light of the
business standard news. CMD clarified
that as of now nothing is there
regarding VRS. News paper has
only mentioned the old status
that MTNL can only afford VRS
if DOT pays for it. DoT has not
taken any decision till now. Dir
(Fin) had also given same clarification
to SG when he met her yesterday
along with DGS.
2. Shortage
of store items for providing new
services and maintaining the existing
services of MTNL—CMD
assured that he will ensure that
all store items are provided in
adequate quantity. He asked SG
that if situation does not improve
in the month of JUNE, you come
again to me, appropriate action
will be taken and concerned officers
will face action.
3. New DPC
Bench Mark—Association
expressed its deepest concern
over the way the Bench Marks were
decided unilaterally by the Management
without having any consultation
with executive association and
its implementation for old DPCs.
CMD and Dir (HR) realized that
it should have been consulted
with the executive Association
before finalizing the New bench
mark, and assured that in future
Association will be consulted
on such policy matters. CMD &
Dir (HR) assured that all old
DPC will be completed in such
a way that no one is denied any
benefit which he/she would have
got with old bench marks. To review
the New bench mark, CMD &
Dir (HR) were reluctant in the
light of the MOC&IT’s
revival plan to turn around MTNL/BSNL
in which Minister has linked many
things with performance, as per
his decision, If revenue of a
area increases 5%, the concerned
GM will be given excellent entry
and if revenue decreases more
than 10%, the concerned GM will
face action including mandatory
transfer. CMD order in this regard
has been issued today. After detailed
discussion, CMD agreed that Association
will give its proposal for New
Bench marks which will be discussed
with Dir (HR) for reviewing the
bench marks in due course of time.
4. Dolphin
Connection to All Executives—CMD
agreed that a policy decision
will be taken to replace WLL service
connections with dolphin connections
and to provide dolphin connection
to all executives. He assured
that decision will be taken in
the month of June itself.
5. Pension
at par with BSNL—CMD
said that Management is very actively
working to resolve the issue.
6. Revision
of Pension—CMD &
Dir (HR) informed that HR note
has been prepared which is in
circulation amongst the board
of directors before placing it
in the Board meeting. They assured
that it will be shortly sent to
DOT for its consideration.
7. Referendum
of Executive Association--On
this issue CMD & Dir (HR)
were non committal but agreed
that a consultative mechanism
with Executive Associations is
to be adopted in MTNL. CMD assured
that today onward, Management
will ensure that executive Association
is consulted before taking any
policy decision pertaining to
executives.
8. SDE
(Recruitment rules)---Dir
(HR) informed that SDE RR for
promotion from JTO to SDE have
been approved by board. According
to new RR, 1/3rd post will be
filled up by competitive exam
and 2/3rd by seniority cum fitness.
Same RR will be notified for other
disciplines.
CMD informed that in an effort
to improve the services of MTNL,
a decision has been taken that
Dir (Fin) will be in charge for
MTNL Mumbai and Dir (HR) for MTNL
Delhi and WS. Orders in this respect
will be issued today.

MTNL plans VRS for a third of workforce
BUSINESS STANDARD
Friday, May 27, 2011
Mahanagar Telephone
Nigam Ltd (MTNL), which operates
in Delhi and Mumbai, has sought
the Department of Telecommunications’
(DoT’s) approval for a voluntary
retirement scheme (VRS). The scheme
will be offered to 15,000 employees,
or one-third of the workforce, in
the current financial year. The
proposal has been cleared by the
MTNL board. The company will have
to make a one-time payment of Rs
2,000-3,000 crore to employees opting
for the scheme.
MTNL has sought
financial support from DoT. “The
VRS will help us reduce the wage
bill and keep costs under control.
We have surplus workforce. According
to our estimate, we should not have
more than 20,000 employees,” said
a senior MTNL official. MTNL has
45,000 employees. Its wage bill
was Rs 1,704 crore in the financial
year ended March 2011, as against
Rs 1,968 crore in financial year
ended March 2010. The pension bill
was Rs 340 crore in 2010-11 as against
Rs 261 crore in 2009-10. In 1998-99,
the company had 61,967 employees.
The number fell to 44,910 in 2009-10.
MTNL has launched
VRS three times in the past for
all employees but without much success.
This time, it plans to offer the
scheme only to some employees based
on the business segments they operate
in. “The employees in redundant
segments will be reduced first,”
said the official. Sam Pitroda,
the prime minister’s adviser on
infrastructure, had expressed the
need to reduce workforce in both
state-owned telecom companies —
MTNL and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd
(BSNL). Pitroda said the government
should start with BSNL. He proposed
a reduction in BSNL’s workforce
by 100,000 to 300,000.
The DoT secretary,
in a recent interview with Business
Standard, said the need to reduce
the number of employees in MTNL
and BSNL was generally accepted.
But it should be a targeted reduction
and in segments in which surplus
had been identified, he said. However,
such moves have always met with
strong opposition from employee
unions. MTNL and BSNL have been
hit by competition and falling rates.
For the first time since its inception
in 2000, BSNL posted a loss, of
Rs 1,823 crore, in 2009-10. It is
expected to post a loss of about
Rs 2,500 crore for 2010-11. MTNL’s
loss was Rs 1,099 crore in the fourth
quarter ended March 31.

Shortage of store items—ED

Merger of power plants of basic
services and wireless services—Association
raised this issue that there is
no need of separate power plants

informed that Plg wing is working
on this proposal.
9-

Meeting
with DIR (HR) ---SG along with ASG
and OS met Dir (HR) on 10-05-2011
and discussed following issues.
1. Immediate
conducting pending DPCs with old
bench marks—Dir (HR)
informed that the proposal of old
DPC with old bench mark was not
put up in the board meeting held
on 06-05-2011, but units have been
asked to hold DPC with new bench
marks with lenient view. Association
has made it clear to him that we
will not accept any dropped case
in the DPC except those who otherwise
also would have been dropped in
accordance of old bench marks, that
is why DPC should be conducted with
old bench marks only, otherwise
Association will resort to organizational
action to ensure the old DPCs with
old bench marks for which management
will be squarely responsible. Dir
(HR) told that after reviewing the
whole process of DPC, he will again
discuss with the Association shortly.
Association has also asked him to
have a detailed discussion on new
bench marks for future DPCs.
2. Left out
promotions from JTO to SDE (T)—He
informed that whole case has come
to him and after financial concurrence,
decision will be taken most probably
in 10 to 15 days.
3. SDE Recruitment
Rules—He informed that
SDE RR draft will be put up in next
board meeting.
4. Medical
Policy—Association
raised that no decision has been
taken on the issues raised by Joint
Forum of Associations and Unions
in the meeting held with GM (HR)
on 02-04-2011. Dir (HR) said that
action is being initiated on one
point of not charging 10% of room
rent, and other issues like Rs.
1515/- for working spouse and inclusion
of 3rd and 4th child etc will be
further discussed
5. Rotational
transfers between Delhi & Mumbai.—Dir
(HR) himself raised this issue and
wanted to know the views of the
Association on rotational transfer
policy between Delhi & Mumbai.
Association has strongly opposed
any such policy because it is neither
in the interest of company nor employees
rather it will be counter productive
and create unrest in the company.
6. Immunity
in rotational transfers to those
who are to retire in next two years—Association
raised this issue and asked Dir
(HR) to review the decision of not
giving immunity in rotational transfers.
He assured to look into this matter.
7. Revision
of Pension as in BSNL—He
informed that a board note for revising
pension of the employees who have
retired before 01-01-2007 has been
prepared and is likely to go in
the next board meeting.

| Get
ready to defeat the sinister design
of MTNL Management to snatch the
legitimate right of executives-MTNL
management has revised the
benchmark of grading criteria for
time bound/post based promotions
of executives arbitrarily w.e.f
22-12-2010. With revised benchmark,
about 50% executives are going to
be dropped in the DPC for financial
upgradation and post based promotions.
DPC of more than 500 executives,
whose financial upgradation is due
w.e.f Oct 2010 is pending in Delhi
unit because of inaction and indecisiveness
of MTNL Delhi administration.
DPC for regular promotion from SDE
(T) to DE (T) and also in other
executive cadres are pending
in corporate office. Our demand
is to keep the office memorandum
of revised benchmark in abeyance
and conduct all pending DPCs immediately
with old bench mark of grading criteria
and also hold discussion with the
Association for any change in the
present grading criteria.
All
members and office bearers have
to get ready for any trade union
action to defeat the sinister design
of MTNL management. |
