Subject: Grant of increment on regular promotion in the same scale - Unjustifiedrescinding of Para I.II (vf of BSNL Er<ecutive Promotion Policy by Dept.'of Telecom - reg

Ref: DoT letter No.4O-12/ 2004-Pen 0 &) dated Stn JulA 2017

R/Sir,We hereby draw your kind attention to the DoT letter cited under reference through

which Para I.II (v) of BSNL Executive Promotion Policy regarding grant of an extra incrementon post based promotion under EPP has been rescinded.

2. The observation in the above referred DoT letter that "the time bound promotion toExecutives of BSNL has given advantage of double fixation of pay, i.e., one at the time of timebound upgradation and another at the time of regular promotion to the same scale" is itselfwrong, since the fact remains that the Executive was granted only "the benefit of oneincrement in the current scale" and not another pay fixation. This para further emphasizedthat "no claim will lie on account of the provisions of FR SR in the context of pay scales, payfixation. substantive status etc."

3. BSNL vide its letter No.400-L7512O07-Pers.I dated 23.d June 2OO9 had clarified that"On post based promotion of an executive to the scale in which is already upgraded undertime bound scale upgradation, only an additional increment is to be added to the basic payof the promoted officer in his current scale. As the scale of the executive is to remainunchanged on such post based promotion, DNI fixed w.r.t. financial upgradation grantedearlier will also remain unaltered."

4. Comparing BSNL EPP with MACP for Central Government Employees by the P&T Auditis totally uncalled-for since EPP was devised and implemented by BSNL in order to fulfil one ofthe terms offered to the erstwhile DoT employees for absorption in BSNL. It may be alsopointed out that EPP was implemented based on the recommendations of the committeeconstituted to 'sort out outstanding issues on account of absorption and to recommend thetime bound/post based Executive Promotion Policy for Group B level officers' and therecommendations were 'duly considered by BSNL Board in consultation with the Departmentof Telecommunications'.

5. P&T Audit/DoT will also have to be reminded of such double fixation stillavailable in all Central Government departments including DoT for promotion from Sr.Accounts Officer to JTS of Accounts and Finance Service Group A. Similar fixation was

also extended in the 9O's to the tngineering wing of DoT for promotion from LateralJTO to SDE. A copy of the letter from Controller of Defence Accounts dated 13.1.2O1O,conveying the clarification from Ministry of Finance, Department of &<penditure that"since both the feeder and promotional post have the ldentical pay structure of GradePay Rs 5'4OOl- in the pay band 3, pay fixatlon on promotion of Sr. Accounts Officers ofDAD to JTS of IDAS Group 'A' will be done by granting them one increment equal to 3o/oof the sum of the pay in the pay band and the existing grade pay and rounding it off tothe next multiplq of 1O" is enclosed.

6. A similar order of promotion from Senior Accounts Offlcer grade of Indian P&TAccounts and Finance Senrices Group B to the Junior Time Scale of Indian P&TAccounts and Finance Senrices Group A, issued by DoT on 23.6.2O17 with provision forfixation under FR (I) (al (U is also enclosed.

7. DoT dragging the issue of its liability on Pension shows that the DoT has not carefullyexamined the issge raised by P&T Audit, since the EPP is not applicable only to BSNLabsorbed Executiies in respect of whom the Government of India is shouldering theresponsibility of pension payment- but also to those Executives recruited by BSNL on whomthe DoT/Government has no responsibility of pension pa5rment.

8. It is really unfortunate that DoT seeks to 'rescind'an order which was not issued by itbut was issued by BSNL in consultation with it. Any effort to meddle with the settledprovisions of BSNL EPP which would result in necessity for revised pay fixation/recovery inrespect of thousands of [almost all] BSNL Executives as well as the Pensioners, will disturbindustrial peace in major proportions, which is not desirable at a point when BSNL Executivesare toiling to bring BSNL back to glory.

9. We therefore request you to kindly take up this issue with DoT, requesting DoT to re-examine the whole matter and to withdraw its letter dated 5.7.2OI7.

With kind regards,

Encl: As stated
