Gratuity can be withheld, for recovery of dues - says Supreme Court.

The gratuity money of an employee can be withheld and forfeited for recovery of dues such as overstaying in official accommodation, the Supreme Court has ruled. A bench headed by justice Sanjay K Kaul held that, there is no prohibition against recovering dues including penal rent -- the rent with penalty for overstaying in official accommodation -- from an employee’s gratuity.

BSNLEU once again writes to the Director (HR), demanding total cancellation of the transfers ordered from Nagaon SSA to Tezpur SSA, in Assam circle.

Five Non-Executives were high handedly transferred from Nagaon SSA to Tezpur SSA in Assam circle. One of the transferees is Com.Debasis Majumdar, District Secretary, BSNLEU, Nagaon, who is enjoying immunity from transfers, as per Corporate Office orders. BSNLEU objected to these transfers and wrote to the Director (HR), BSNL. Consequently, the transfers are kept under abeyance. However, BSNLEU has written to the Director (HR) today, demanding total cancellation of the transfer orders, since the transfers have been issued in total violation of Corporate Office orders on the subject.

Immunity from transfers – Corporate Office issues instruction to the CGMs.

Serious violations of the facility of immunity from transfers, are being reported from some  circles. CHQ is promptly taking up those issues with the Corporate Office. For example, the District Secretary of BSNLEU, Vadodara, was recently transferred out of the district. The transfer has since been settled, at the intervention of the Corporate Office, based on the complaint from the CHQ of BSNLEU. These mischieves are being done by some circle administrations, utilising a particular provision of the Corporate Office order, which states, “immunity from transfer is subject to administrative convenience”.  Hence, the Corporate Office has issued an instruction to all the CGMs, giving suitable instruction.

नॉन एग्जीक्यूटिव्ज की तीन IDA की किश्ते फ्रीज करने के विरोध में BSNLEU कानूनी निदान हेतु प्रयासरत...

01.10.2020, 01.01.2021 और 01.04.2021 को देय तीन IDA फ्रीजिंग के संबंध में DPE ने स्पष्ट रूप से कहा है कि IDA फ्रीज करने का  निर्णय केवल सेंट्रल पब्लिक सेक्टर एंटरप्राइजेज के एग्जीक्यूटिव्ज और नॉन यूनियनाइज्ड सुपरवाइजर्स पर ही लागू होगा। यह सेंट्रल पब्लिक सेक्टर एंटरप्राइजेज के नॉन एग्जीक्यूटिव्ज पर लागू नहीं होगा। माननीय केरल उच्च न्यायालय और साथ ही माननीय कर्नाटक उच्च न्यायालय ने आदेश पारित किए हैं, जिसमें स्पष्ट किया गया है कि IDA फ्रीज करने का  निर्णय केवल सेंट्रल पब्लिक सेक्टर एंटरप्राइजेज के एग्जीक्यूटिव्ज और नॉन यूनियनाइज्ड सुपरवाइजर्स पर ही लागू होगा। इस परिप्रेक्ष्य में, BSNLEU द्वारा 01.10.2020 से देय IDA की किश्त के तत्काल भुगतान की मांग करते हुए पहले ही CMD BSNL को पत्र लिखा जा चुका है। इसके अलावा, BSNLEU, कानूनी निदान की संभावनाएं भी तलाश रही है। इस संबंध में CHQ द्वारा कॉम संतोष कुमार, सर्किल सेक्रेटरी, BSNLEU, केरल को आवश्यक पहल करने हेतु निर्देशित भी किया जा चुका है। यह उस तथ्य के परिप्रेक्ष्य में है कि नॉन एग्जीक्यूटिव्ज का IDA फ्रीज करने के विरोध में प्रथम आदेश माननीय केरल उच्च न्यायालय द्वारा पारित किया गया है।

BSNLEU is seeking legal remedy against freezing of three instalments of IDA to the Non-Executives.

As regards, the freezing of three IDAs, falling due on 01.10.2020, 01.01.2021 and 01.04.2021, the DPE has categorically mentioned that the freezing of IDA is applicable only to the Executives and to the Non-Unionised Supervisors of the CPSEs. The Hon’ble Kerala High Court, as well as the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka have passed orders stating that, the IDA freezing is only applicable to the Executives and Non-Unionised Supervisors. In view of this, BSNLEU has already written to the CMD BSNL, demanding that, the IDA instalment which has become due from 01.10.2020, should be paid immediately. Further, BSNLEU is also exploring the option of seeking legal remedy. The CHQ has already directed Com.Santhosh Kumar, Circle Secretary, BSNLEU, Kerala, for taking the necessary initiative. This is in view of the fact that, the first order, against IDA freezing for the Non-Executives, is passed by the Hon’ble Kerala High Court.

Number of people affected by COVID-19 in India reaches one crore.

India has got the dubious distinction of being the second most affected country by COVID-19, only next to the United States. Despite the tall claims made by the Modi government, it is a fact that the handling of the pandemic by the government is inept. When the pandemic was fast gripping the entire world, the Modi government mobilised lakhs of people at Ahmedabad on 24th February, 2020, in honour of Donald Trump. Similarly, the unprecedented lock-down was imposed in the whole country by the Modi government, by giving only a 3 hour notice. This brought untold miseries to the 12 crore migrant workers in the country. On the top of everything, even this pandemic was used by the RSS parivar to spread communal hearted. They unleashed a venomous propaganda that the people belonging to a particular religion is responsible for the spread of COVID-19. However, it gives relief that the situation is improving in most parts of the country. At this movement, BSNLEU salutes the doctors, nurses, health workers and all the frontline workers, who have immensely contributed in safeguarding mankind from this unprecedented human disaster. BSNLEU also salutes and pays it’s respectful homage to all those frontline workers who have laid down their lives in this battle.
