Therefore, it is necessary to relax / waive the affordability condition for a strategically important and sensitive company like BSNL, and it is essential that the Central Cabinet take an immediate decision in this regard. All the representatives therefore requested the Hon’ble MP to raise this issue strongly in the upcoming session of Parliament. The Hon’ble MP positively noted our position and assured that he would raise the appropriate question / matter regarding this in Parliament. The delegation included Com.

	18-12-2025 : 2nd phase of agaitational programme by Chennai Circle NFTE BSNL and NFTE CL against autocratic attitude of Shri S. Parthiban, CGMT Chennai on 17-12-2025:- At the CGM's office in purasawakkam the Chennai Telephones circle unions of both NFTE & NFTCL organised a mass deputation of affected employees to the CGM / CHTD on 17/12/2025. This is the second phase agitation against the management particularly Sri S Parthiban, CGM's arrogance in dealing with the trade unions and the settlement of long pending issues of the staff. The first phase of agitation was held on 09/12/2025 in the form of a demonstration at Flower Bazaar exchange compound. Instead of opening up dialogue with the union the management mobilized large number of police force to stop our comrades entering the CGM office on 17/12/2025. But our comrades defeated this crude attempt to involve police in the trade union issue and entered the CGM office after convincing the police officers gathered of our justification for the mass deputation to the CGM as he refused to meet the union representatives of the recognised unions and associations for more than a year. We held a demonstration and a meeting thereafter and decided to go to the residence of Sri S Parthiban as he is always busy during office hours and could not find any time to meet the union leaders. The date of visit to the CGM 's residence will be finalised soon and a massive gathering will be organized to the home of our CGM. We informed this to both the police officers present and the AGM (E) Smt Suchitra who were pacifying the agitated employees, contract laboures. Com C K M addressed the comrades and explained the need for organising a march to the CGM's home as all the efforts of General Secretaries of all Unions and Associations failed so far to correct the adamant and unreasonable attitude of the CGM who is holding the charge of both Tamilnadu and Chennai Telephones Circles.

The BSNL Management invited officials from LIC Pension Fund Limited (LIC PFL) to explain various aspects of NPS to the representatives of BSNLEU, NFTE, SNEA and AIGTOA. From NFTE BSNL, Com. C.Singh, General Secretary, Com. Rajamouli and Com. Raveer Singh, VP participated in the meeting. Earlier, NFTE BSNL had submitted a detailed letter to the Management raising several queries on the proposed NPS. The LIC representatives responded to these queries during the meeting. It was explained that earlier the Department was contributing 5% to the SPS for pension benefits, and now a proposal has been made to convert the scheme from SPS to NPS. During the discussion leaders strongly expressed the following two demands: 1. NPS should remain under the control of a PSU, preferably LIC, as Fund Manager. 2. Employees should be given an option either to continue under the existing SPS or to opt for the new NPS, instead of making it compulsory. The representatives of LIC Pension Fund Limited clarified the queries raised by the unions and explained the differences between LIC PFL and other private pension fund managers. They also informed that long-term returns under NPS are around 13%, whereas returns under SAP are presently around 7–8%. Subsequently, the Management informed that a Committee comprising four officers has been constituted, with Shri S. P. Singh, PGM(Estt.), as Chairman, to examine the matter in detail. The Committee will submit its recommendations to the Board for approval. The Management has also circulated a key note addressing the queries and suggestions raised by the Unions and Associations.

	11-10-2025 : Update on Joint Meeting of General Secretaries of Unions and Associations of BSNL – 10th October 2025* A joint meeting of the General Secretaries of Unions and Associations of BSNL was held today, 10th October 2025, at 12:30 PM in the IR Hall, AIGETOA CHQ Office, to discuss the continued vindictive actions by the CGM, Chennai and Tamil Nadu Circles against employees. All General Secretaries of the constituent Unions and Associations participated in the meeting and expressed serious concern over the continued harassment of employees, despite the discussions held earlier with Director (HR), BSNL Board. The forum noted with concern that, instead of adhering to the spirit of reconciliation discussed during the meeting with Director (HR), the Chennai Circle Administration has further escalated its vindictive approach by issuing fresh threatening letters dated 08.10.2025. This has completely eroded the trust built during the discussions at Corporate Office. After detailed deliberation, the forum unanimously decided the following: 1. A joint letter will be submitted to the CMD BSNL seeking immediate resolution of the issue by withdrawing all vindictive actions and replacing the CGM of Tamil Nadu and Chennai Circles. 2. If the issue is not resolved by 16th October 2025, the Unions and Associations of BSNL will conduct Lunch Hour Demonstrations across all BSNL offices on 17th October 2025, followed by further intensified organizational programs. The forum expressed that the continued administrative high-handedness in Tamil Nadu and Chennai Circles reflects a serious lapse and undermines industrial harmony within BSNL. It was reiterated that the management must act promptly to restore peace and discipline in these circles by implementing the assurances given during the Director (HR) meeting. The Unions and Associations of BSNL stand united in their commitment to protect the dignity, rights, and welfare of BSNL employees and will not tolerate any vindictive or discriminatory actions against staff and leaders.

	06-10-2025 : BSNL to upgrade all 4G towers to 5G within 8 months: Jyotiraditya Scindia:- The telecom minister says BSNL's 92,500 4G towers, built using an indigenous tech stack, will be upgraded to 5G within six to eight months as the company posts Rs 5,000 crore operating profit State-run telecom company Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) will upgrade all its 4G towers to 5G within the next six to eight months, Union Minister for Telecommunications Jyotiraditya Scindia said. Speaking at the fourth edition of the Kautilya Economic Conclave, Scindia said that the 92,500 BSNL 4G towers that went live on September 27 were built entirely on an indigenously developed software and hardware stack. “When BSNL advanced down the route of executing 4G, there was a difficult decision to make. The easy path was to buy equipment from foreign vendors; the difficult path was to invent our own 4G stack. In 22 months, we developed our own core software and our own radio access network (RAN),” Scindia said. The state-run telco, which completed 25 years of service on October 1, has achieved an operating profit of Rs 5,000 crore in the current financial year, up from Rs 2,300 crore in the previous year, Scindia had earlier said. The number of subscribers has also risen from 8.7 crore to 9.1 crore, serving nearly 22 million people across the country, he said. The government is developing a digital consumer charter to establish guardrails and firewalls around the use of artificial intelligence (AI), encompassing principles of ethics, fairness and inclusion, the minister added.

However, this was not agreed to by the Management Side. 3) However, since the conversion factor used to form the NE9 pay scale is low, compared to the other pay scales of the Non-Executives, Management Side agreed to once again take up the NE-9 pay scale with the top Management, for modification. 4) The perks and allowances will be revised with effect from the date of signing of this Wage Agreement.( A committee is already constituted for the revision of allowances) 5) Anomalies/aberrations/pay loss, arising out of this Wage Revision, will be addressed suitably. 6) The Committee is of the view that the pay scales with shorter spans, proposed to be implemented in this Wage Revision, should not form the basis for the next Wage Revision. 7) The date for the next meeting of the Wage Revision Committee is tentatively fixed as 26-09- 2025. The Wage Revision Agreement is likely to be signed on that day.

	28-09-2024 : The General Secretary addressed the open session at Guwahati:-on the occasion of Asam Circle's executive committee meeting and Kamrup BA's biennial conference, an open session was scheduled to be held on 26th Sept 2024 at 11.30 am. The session started after flag hoisting. Com Chandeshwar Singh General secretary hoisted the NFTE flag. Shri J.B.Singh, GM.admin & HR, Shri Chourasiya, GM BA Kamrup other DGMs and AGMs of Kamrup BA were present in the session. com Singh GS inaugurated the session of a gathering of about 200 workers. More than a dozen lady workers were also participating.. GS in his inaugural speech exhorted and elaborately explained the suffering of employees of BSNL. He added that at the time of corporatization, none of the union leaders and employees expected that they would have to face such a painful situation after some time in BSNL. The BSNL which was a miniratna company in the year 2004-05 and was to be entered as Navratna company Of the country, due to the stepmother treatment of the Govt the financial position of the company started to decline from 2007-8. After VRS 2020 also the company did not turn fast toward growth rather a similar critical situation continued till December 2021. Even the salary of staff was not paid on time. The present situation is also critical for the staff. The wage revision is denied due to the loss of the company for which employees are not responsible at all. The profit and loss of any company depend upon the policy of the owner. It is a totally abnormal and peculiar situation prevailing in the company as it's 60 percent employees are facing stagnation. LICEs are conducted in half of the circles and employees of half of the circles are not getting chance to appear in exam in the name of no vacancy. The then BSNL management in 2021 ruined the future carrier of employees in name of restructuring staff and distribution of manpower. About 13 circles became surplus for all Caders. This methodology to manage human resources is unique in the country. This has blocked the facilities of inter circle / BA transfer of the staff, even the spouse cases are denied violating the order of DOPT. GS said that all together the development of human resources and welfare measures for them has stopped. The abnormal delay in rolling out of 4 G-based mobile services reduced the market share to worse. For all these lapses employees are punished which is beyond even the natural justice. Shri J.B.singh GM of HR addressed the meeting and reported that all HR issues of the employees are taken care of on time and settled within a time frame. Shri Chourasiya ji GM BA Kamrup also addressed and reported regarding the growth of services. He added that the relation with staff unions is very cordial and every issue are being settled very smoothly in Kamrup BA. The open session was concluded with a vote of thanks by Com P.C. patagiri who was the chairperson of the meeting. Click Here

	19-03-2024 : Extract from the meeting of District Secretaries of NFTE BSNL Maharashtra Circle on wage revision :- It's a unique situation in BSNL that their is no wage revision since 17 years & no allowances revised since 22 years. More than 54% of absorbed employees & 22 % direct recruited employees have lost their annual increments due to stagnation. This financial atrocity is imposed on the employees for the no fault of their own. New pay scales are denied in the name of affordability & profitability of BSNL. It is well known fact that BSNL is not working for profit only but it has to discharge its duty to serve the nation & society as a whole. To provide communication services in rural, hilly areas, & maintain during natural calamities has been a track record of BSNL although it’s a loss making activity. Thus profitability is accompanied by social obligation only in case of BSNL, being a Govt PSU. It is also performing it’s role as a price regulator & committed to expanding the services at an affordable rates. This all prestigious nature of BSNL is making it as a “strategic sector”. In short BSNL has to implement Govt agenda in which employees have no voice. Naturally denying the wage revision to the employees on the plea of profitability is totally wrong & unjustified. Taking this legitimate stand, NFTE on its own & also along with other unions & associations launched many struggles for getting wage revision implemented. Due to these sustained efforts DOT has permitted to start negotiations by forming joint wage committee & endorsed our right to get wage revision. We hereby earnestly appreciate the hard efforts & tedious exercises done by wage committee under the guidance & leadership of Com. C. Singh & Com. P. Abhimanyu. Now, as assured by the management during our Protest week from 13th February to 17th February, meetings of wage committee have been restarted. We honestly feel that we should use this opportunity to reach to the agreement for new pay scales which will remove stagnation & pave the way for considerable increase in basic pay of employees. In circle secretariat meeting held at New Delhi on 6th March, it was categorically told by Our GS that management is ready to protect Pay Loss & also demand of no stagnation till 2027 will also be taken care of. The maximum possible enhancement in NE-9 scale also can be considered. In view of this situation, we unanimously resolve to appeal to both the Stalwarts of staff side in wage committee to sign the agreement at an earliest for emancipation of employees from the evil of stagnation & financial distress thereof. We also hope that no other factor including fitment formula will become a hurdle in signing the agreement for new pay scales. However, if in future, executives get more fitment than non ex, the same should be made applicable to non ex also. Hope our expectations do not turn into despair. Click Here

	06-03-2024 : The meeting of Joint negotiation committee for third Wage Revision in BSNL for non executive employees was held on 05/03/2024 at the BSNL Corporate HQ in New Delhi. The three representatives of NFTE - BSNL, Comrades Chandeswer Singh, Islam Ahmad and Seshadri participated in it . According to the management side the pay scales circulated in 2022 was insisted for third wage revision on zero fitment formula. The staff side was asked to submit its opinion / objectively if any on the management’s proposal in the next meeting scheduled on 22/03/2024. After this committee meeting General Secretaries of both NFTE & BSNLEU jointly met the CMD and discussed about the third wage revision. The CMD expressed concern about the difficult financial condition of BSNL and requested both the unions to agree to the management’s proposal of pay scales with shorter span . However the CMD agreed to consider any reduction in pay or anomaly arising out of the wage revision despite the management’s best efforts to avoid this for 95% of employees. The notification for the General elections to the Parliament is expected in the second week of March 24 and the code of conduct for elections will begin immediately thereafter. Hence any decision on the implementation of third wage revision had to wait till the new central government is formed . But there’s no bar to continue the joint negotiations. Anyhow the two day meeting of the National Secretariat of NFTE -BSNL beginning tomorrow (06/03/2024) will be briefed elaborately by the General Secretary on the details of the joint wage revision negotiations committee meeting held on 05/03/24 and the opinion of the Circle Secretaries will be sought. Let us dispassionately assess the management’s proposal keeping in mind the difficult financial position of BSNL and evolve a concesus on the implementation of third wage revision which is already delayed by seven years and nearly one third of employees are facing stagnation for the past several years.

For implementation of 3rd PRC & it’s benefits to all existing staff, fitment formula is equally important for which mangmnt adopting negative approach, he added.

	13-01-2023 : Deadlock in the Wage Negotiations - NFTE (BSNL) and BSNLEU write joint letter to the CMD BSNL, demanding his intervention. Com.Chandeswar Singh, GS, NFTE (BSNL) and Com.P.Abhimanyu, GS, BSNLEU have written a joint letter to the CMD BSNL regarding Wage Negotiation. The following points are mentioned in the letter. The Wage Negotiations of the Non-Executives is in a deadlock, due to the following reasons:- (1) The new Pay Scales of the Non-Executives are already finalised in the Wage Negotiating Committee meeting held on 27-07-2018. But, now, the Management wants to cut down the minimum and maximum of those Pay Scales, in the name of reducing the company’s expenditure on Pension Contribution. The 3rd PRC has already given the Pay Scales of the Executives. BSNL Management has no power to cut down those Pay Scales. Then, why the Management wants to cut down the Pay Scales of the Non-Executives alone? (2) The Management says that, they do not want to sign the Wage Agreement now, but only want to finalise the Pay Scales of the Non-Executives and send them to the DoT. This is not acceptable to us. (3) The Management says that, the Allowances cannot be revised now. Allowances of the employees are not revised since the formation of BSNL. Hence revision of Allowances must be done. Both the General Secretaries of BSNLEU and NFTE BSNL have demanded the intervention of the CMD BSNL to resolve the deadlock.
