Respected Sir,
First of all I would like to extend my warm wishes on the occasion of World Telecommunication Day! It’s a
great privilege for all of us to be part of this great industry and got the opportunity to serve mankind
through latest technology in all walks of life. At the same time, I would like to attract your kind and urgent
attention towards the plight of Young Telecom Officers’ of BSNL (JTO/JAO and SDE/AO Eqvlt Grades) on
this important day, who are suffering with huge recurring losses in their pay due to non approval of the
proposal of the Management Committee of BSNL Board of E2 and E3 by the Dept of Telecom, Govt of
India. The recent communication of the DoT vide number 62-4/2020-SU (E-103496) dated 29.04.2022 of
Deputy Secretary (PSU-I), DoT, New Delhi about its disagreement on the whole proposal itself on the
pretext of cascading has further complicated the matter and resulted in grave injury to the young officers.
In this regard, we would like to bring to your kind attention that BSNL vide its DO letter as referred at #4
and subsequent communications has several times requested Dept of Telecom to accord approval for only
Two Scales i.e. replacement of E1A with E2 and E2A with E3 in line with the proposal of Management
Committee of BSNL Board, which is a pending residual of 2nd PRC and specifically mentioned in the PO
issued by the DoT vide letter 61-01/2009-SU dated 27.02.2009 of Director PSU-I, Dept of Telecom, New
Delhi. In the said presidential Order, it was clearly written that, “proposal of BSNL on E1A and E2A shall
be dealt separately”. Thereafter a PO was issued by the DoT vide letter number 61-2/2016-SU dated
28.03.2017 giving a non standard scale of 18850-40500 and 22800-46500 as personal to the incumbent
recruited/promoted against E1A and E2A respectively. It was further added in the PO to extend only
16400-40500(E1) and 20600-46500(E2) for remaining JTO/JAO & SDE/AO respectively. This is in contrary
to the direction of DPE OM No 2(70)/08-DPE(WC) dt 26.11.2008 as well as BSNL Proposal sent to the DoT.
Regn. No. : HR/019/2018/02138

Regd. Office : Flat No. A-302, Life Style Residency, Plot no: GH 41-42, Sector-65, Faridabad, Haryana-121006
Hence the said PO dated 28.03.2017 of the DoT was not implemented and informed by the BSNL to the
Secretary DoT vide DO letter 1-13/2015-PAT (BSNL) dated 01.05.2017 of CMD BSNL New Delhi and once
again requested to accord approval of E2 (20600-46500) and E3 (24900-50500) against the pre-revised
Scale of E1A and E2A for JTO/JAO and SDE/AO Equivalent Grades in BSNL. But despite passage of so
much time and several reminders letters, DoT never reverted back with the approval of E2 and E3 Scales
and suddenly informing their disagreement to approve the scales of E2 and E3 after long five years.
We lodge our strong protest against this disagreement letter issued by the DoT for approval of E2 and E3
Scale for JTO/JAO and SDE/AO equivalent Grades in BSNL. Because, a different initial basic/pay scale for
various batches of same grade entering in the department at different point of time is in contrary to the
eyes of law and natural justice as well as against the approval of Management Committee of BSNL Board.
The downgrading of Scale to E1 for JTO/JAO and equivalent grade is inflicting serious damage to the
interest of organisation as these young and qualified group of executives are feeling completely dejected
and this is becoming one of the main reasons of churning out of fresh talent from BSNL. One side when
BSNL is trying to acquire more and more new projects as well as providing operation and maintenance
support to the vast network of BBNL and meet the benchmark of quality of ambitious project of Hon’ble
Prime Minister, a de-motivated work force of JTO/JAO and SDE/AO, who are basic ingredient to ensure all
such activities in the field is highly unfortunate. Accordingly, we demand for the following;
1. Immediate intervention at your personal level with the Hon’ble MoC and Hon’ble Secretary DoT.
2. Immediate letter from the CMD BSNL to the Secretary DoT to refute the stand of DoT and making
an ardent appeal to the DOT to accord approval of only Two Scale of E2 and E3 for JTO/JAO and
SDE/AO equivalent Grades as requested by BSNL without Cascading of other Scales.
3. Time bound implementation of these Scales, which are residual of 2nd PRC w.e.f. 01.01.2007.
4. An open commitment letter to the affected Executives instilling confidence that the department
is taking enough steps to protect their interest on the matter.
It is worth to state that resentment in executives on the matter has reached to its zenith and any delay will
only aggravate the situation further and may result in serious breakdown of peace. Therefore, we request
your good self to kindly intervene in the matter personally with the DoT and prevail upon the decision
for approval of E2 and E3 Scale for JTO/JAO and SDE/AO equivalent grades in line with the proposal of
Management Committee of BSNL Board. In absence of immediate and suitable remedial measures, the
association will force to launch strong organisational program to resolve the issue.
Thanking you.
Yours Sincerely
Sd/--

General Secretary
