LICE for JE and TT, Rule-8 and Rule-9 transfers, Kashmir Valley Allowance and Sports Personnel Promotions - BSNLEU presses for early settlement of Non-Executive issues.

Com. M. Vijayakumar, President, and Com. Animesh Mitra, General Secretary, BSNLEU, met Shri Rajeev Kaushik, PGM (SR), and Shri S.P. Singh, PGM (Estt.), on 18.06.2026 and discussed several long-pending issues concerning Non-Executive employees. During the meeting, the leaders were informed that action has already been initiated by the Establishment Section for conducting the LICE examinations in the JE and TT cadres. Regarding Rule-8 and Rule-9 transfer cases, the PGM (Estt.) stated that information is being collected on officials who have completed the mandatory five years of service for consideration under Rule-8 transfers. The BSNLEU leaders questioned the rationale behind repatriating officials to their parent circles when those circles themselves are surplus circles. On the issue of Kashmir Valley Allowance, the PGM (Estt.) informed that clarification has been sought from the DPE since the admissibility of the allowance has so far been endorsed only by DoP&T. Regarding the pending promotion cases of left-out sports personnel, the PGM (SR) informed that a committee has already been constituted to verify the claims submitted by the affected employees and that the verification process is underway. The BSNLEU leaders expressed their serious dissatisfaction over the negative and indifferent attitude of the administration in resolving these long-pending staff issues, which continue to remain unsettled without any logical or justifiable reason. They urged the management to take expeditious action for their early settlement.
