     A meeting was held on  03.07.2025  at 17.30 in  the GM HR Chamber to discuss long stay transfers. From the management side, Sri Bunga Ravikumar, PGM; Sri Koteswara Rao, DGM (HR); and Sri R. Srinivasa Rao, AGM (HR) attended. From the association side, Com. J. Uma Maheswara Rao, CS SNEA AP; Com. G. Acheswara Rao, ACS HQ SNEA AP; Com. M. Prasad Babu, CS SEWA; Com. Hema Sundar, President SEWA; and Com. Satyanarayana, CS AIGETOA were present.

  PGM Sir informed that there are no specific guidelines from BSNL Corporate Office (COND) regarding further long stay transfers. However, considering requests from some GMs, limited long stay transfers are proposed to be issued. These transfers will be strictly from surplus OAs to deficit OAs only. There will be no long stay transfers in deficit BAs.

    SNEA requested the management to defer the long stay transfers for this year, highlighting that there is almost 100% staff availability, except for 2–3 OAs. In response, PGM Sir mentioned that they have identified 40 vacancies in deficit OAs in JTO and SDE cadre.

SNEA emphasized that there are many OTP (Online Transfer Portal) requests for the identified deficit OAs. Therefore, all OTP requests and even recently cancelled OTPs for deficit areas should be given preference and considered first. PGM Sir agreed that OTP requests will be examined first, and after this if vacancies remain, accordingly long stay transfers will be issued, limited to those resultant vacancies .

PGM Sir also mentioned that no OTP requests will be considered from deficit OAs. In response, the association clarified that many employees currently in deficit OAs were posted there under long stay transfers during the past two years, and they are now seeking repatriation to their parent BAs. SNEA  also requested all OTP requests, especially those based on medical grounds, to be considered.

The deficit OAs identified for this process are:

          Srikakulam (SKL)

          Nellore (NLR)

          Anantapur (ATP)

          Guntur (GTR)

          West Godavari (WG)

Associations raised concern about staff surplus due to the merger of OMCR and MSC staff in Business Areas like VJA, VM and TPTY. PGM clarified that this issue exists only in Vijayawada BA, as the sanctioned strength from OMCR and MSC has not yet been added. Other BAs do not face this issue.

PGM Sir stated that the tenure considered for long stay will be up to 15 years in the same OA/BA for both JTO and SDE cadres. This tenure limit might be reduced depending on discussions and requirements.

PGM Sir also mentioned that spouse cases will not be considered under this transfer cycle. SNEA  strongly requested that spouse cases and children’s education related requests to be considered, as per the assurance given in earlier formal meetings. PGM Sir responded that the issue will be discussed with CGM for a final decision.

It was assured that medical and immunity cases will be given due consideration. Even critical illness cases like cancer, which may not be explicitly covered in the transfer policy, will be considered based on merit.

PGM Sir stated that he would try to initiate a Special OTP window specifically for long stay transfers, to streamline and address these cases effectively.

Associations requested that employees who are willing to move to deficit OAs should be given an assurance that they will be repatriated to their requested OAs after completion of two years. PGM Sir informed that this proposal will be discussed with CGM and a final decision will be taken.

   09.02.2024            Highly successful Negotiations of Premium of optional GTI renewal:

Team SNEA, firmly &  successfully pleaded for the reduction of rates offered by LIC and reducing it even less than the last year rates and bringing it at par with rates offered by LIC during first year of policy for Executives and Non-Executives.  

These successful negations were possible with deep study of the subject matter by Mrs. Anu Agarwal, CP SNEA BSNL CO with supporting information from Shri. Somenath Gosh, CS SNEA WB Circle. SNEA CHQ appreciates their sincere devoted efforts of both the stalwarts along with other OBs/Members who shared timely and valuable feedback for successful negotiations.

With these highly successful negotiations with firm and well-studied stand taken by SNEA as the only Recognized Majority Representative Association of BSNL, as outcome of recent 3rd Membership verification process, every executive in BSNL opting for GTI will be benefitted by savings of about Rs 3000 in GTI premium amount for age below 50 years and Rs 2000 for age above 50 years as compared to last year premium.

This saving in GTI premium amount for young executives in BSNL with age below 50 years as compared to LIC initial proposal for renewal per executive will be Rs 7000 and this is definitely good amount for the already financially affected young executives in BSNL.

SNEA  specially conveys thanks to all executives of BSNL for their strong faith in SNEA and in similar manner we will continue to get benefits for the executives in BSNL from all possible ways.

  Com.WSeshgiri.Rao is not only a legendary figure in the comity of Trade Unions in erstwhile DOT and BSNL, but tallest of all times in all respects. He was very very humble, down to earth but yet was undaunting in real terms, uncompromising and toughest one. His Trade Union Integrity is unmatched and almost impossible for anyone to emulate. Was made of an entirely different stuff. He was truly democratic in that he never ever diluted the mandate of his Comrades and strove like anything to live up to their mandate and confidence. That is how he could built an unshakeable, monumental and deeply entrenched Trade Union Institution, the greatest of great SNEA, which epitomizes real aspirations of  future generations of SNEA. Posterity in SNEA will have to strive incredibly hard, to their last breath, in the prevailing circumstances,  to preserve and foster the values that this highest Trade Union Institution in BSNL stands for. The challenges for the coming generations in SNEA on this account are very very formidable and arduous.
