Truth is always bitter and it seems that it has become indigestible to other associations. Never the less we are overwhelmed to know that our website is closely monitored by some of our counterparts (not enemies). AIGETOA KTK doesn’t believe in confrontation, but if someone wants to confront we are not backing off, confronting behaviour of others gives us strength to work for betterment of DRs in Karnataka.

Details of AIGETOA Meeting with GM (Estt.) :

Vice President AIGETOA Sh Mantosh Kumar along with Shri Surinder Mahar met with GM (Estt.) to follow up the issue related to EPF contribution for training period. Shri Surinder Mahar informed GM (Estt.) that he himself has filed this case to the EPF commissioner against BSNL and decision came in the favor of direct recruits. Later on BSNL has filed appeal in Chennai High court and again decision came in favor of direct recruits. But instead of implementing the directions of Honorable High court, BSNL again filed a defective appeal to the divisional bench but the case was not pursued. We strongly submitted that BSNL is just using judicial provisions as delay tactics against the interest of direct recruits. GM (Estt) patiently listened to us and told that due to holidays and thereupon busy schedule he was unable to study the case but he assured that he will look into the matter and called us in next week for the issue.

GM (Estt.) also informed that he has hold internal meeting regarding standard pay scales and second meeting is also planned in next week. Association has reminded him about his assurance for resolution of pay scale issue by the end of this year. Sh. Surrender Mahar told to GM (Estt.) that almost 8 year out of ten year tenure of pay commission have passed and insisted that issue needs to be resolved at the earliest. GM (Estt.) assured for the resolution of the pay scale by the end of this year.

Regarding rule-8 transfer cases, GM (Estt.) informed that he has asked CGM (WB) and GM (Admn.), WB, during their visit to BSNLCO to initiate the rule -8 transfer cases against the LICE passed JTOs in line with other circle and expedite the rule-8 cases approved by his predecessor and CGM(WB) was in agreement for the same.

Dear friends

Circle Coordination committee of AIGETOA and AIBSNLEA members had meeting with DGM(Admin) and AGM(HRD) on 09.10.2014 and discussed the following issues: 

Our association has been regularly following up on the pending list of both intra and inter Circle transfers. We now have received a boost with the formation of the Co-ordination Committee at the Circle level of AIBSNLEA and AIGETOA.

We thank DGM (Admin) for considering our request in that the cases of Ms. Deepika Singhal and Mr. Balagandhi are under active consideration.

Since June 2014, in our meetings with CGM, we impressed upon him the long waiting lists for both inter-Circle and intra-Circle transfers. As a result of this, in July 2014 an order of intra-Circle transfer cases was released. We are pursuing for the relieving of some of them.

On the 20th of September in our meeting with DGM (Admin), he considered our viewpoints to clear the genuine pending intra-Circle  requests that were left out.

As per our follow up today, orders of the above 2 persons are likely to be released shortly.

AIGETOA KTK is dedicated to follow-up both intra-Circle and inter-Circle transfers of members.
