The discontinuation of Sanchar Aadhaar support from 01.12.2025 has seriously affected BSNL’s revenue across all circles. Due to the non-availability of essential services such as SIM sales, MNP and new activations, many customers are shifting to other operators, creating a situation of grave concern. Today, BSNLEU CHQ has written a letter to the CMD BSNL, urging the Management to take immediate and effective action to restore the Sanchar Aadhaar system without further delay.
It is unfortunate that BSNL services are being severely affected due to the non-functioning of the Sanchar Aadhaar system, which is essential for issuing new SIM cards as well as replacement SIMs. The system has remained out of order since 01-12-2025. It has been reported that the contract period of the company authorised to operate the Sanchar Aadhaar service has expired and BSNL has not yet renewed the contract. Consequently, the company has withdrawn its services. CHQ has received complaints from various field units, especially from Customer Service Centres in offices and exchanges, that they are presently unable to issue new connections or duplicate SIMs. It is highly regrettable that even after 48 hours, the issue remains unresolved, resulting in revenue loss for the organisation. BSNLEU will take up the matter with the management for immediate intervention.
संचार आधार सिस्टम 48 घंटे से काम नहीं कर रहा है, जिससे कंपनी को रेवेन्यू का नुकसान हो रहा है।
यह दुख की बात है कि संचार आधार सिस्टम के काम न करने की वजह से बीएसएनएल की सेवाओं पर बहुत बुरा असर पड़ रहा है, जो नए सीम कार्ड और रिप्लेसमेंट सीम जारी करने के लिए ज़रूरी है। यह सिस्टम 01-12-2025 से काम नहीं कर रहा है। बताया गया है कि संचार आधार सेवा चलाने के लिए ऑथराइज़्ड कंपनी का कॉन्ट्रैक्ट पीरियड खत्म हो गया है और बीएसएनएल ने अभी तक कॉन्ट्रैक्ट रिन्यू नहीं किया है। इसलिए, कंपनी ने अपनी सेवाएं वापस ले ली हैं। सीएचक्यू को अलग-अलग फील्ड यूनिट्स, खासकर ऑफिस और एक्सचेंज में कस्टमर सर्विस सेंटर्स से शिकायतें मिली हैं कि वे अभी नए कनेक्शन या डुप्लीकेट सीम जारी नहीं कर पा रहे हैं। यह बहुत दुख की बात है कि 48 घंटे बाद भी, यह मामला सुलझा नहीं है, जिससे बीएसएनएल को रेवेन्यू का नुकसान हो रहा है। BSNLEU इस मामले को तुरंत दखल देने के लिए मैनेजमेंट के सामने उठाएगा।
As decided in the last online CEC meeting, a physical CEC meeting will be convened at the end of January 2026.

All CEC members are requested to make the necessary arrangements for their travel accordingly. A formal notification will be issued next week. CHQ extends its warm greetings to the comrades of the Mangaluru district union and the Karnataka Circle union for taking up the responsibility of organising the CEC meeting.
मंगलुरु में सीईसी मीटिंग होगी – सीईसी सदस्यों से यात्रा का इंतज़ाम शुरू करने की विनती की गई।
जैसा कि पिछली ऑनलाइन सीईसी मीटिंग में तय हुआ था, जनवरी 2026 के आखिर में सीईसी मीटिंग बुलाई जाएगी। यह तारीफ़ के काबिल है कि कर्नाटक सर्कल यूनियन ने मंगलुरु में मीटिंग आयोजित करने की ज़िम्मेदारी लेने पर सहमति जताई है। सर्कल यूनियन ने सीएचक्यू को बताया है कि सीईसी मीटिंग 31 जनवरी, 2026 और 01 फरवरी 2026 को मंगलुरु में होगी। सभी सीईसी सदस्यों से विनती है कि वे अपनी यात्रा के लिए ज़रूरी इंतज़ाम उसी हिसाब से करें। अगले हफ़्ते एक अधिसूचना जारी की जाएगी । सीएचक्यू मंगलुरु डिस्ट्रिक्ट यूनियन और कर्नाटक सर्कल यूनियन के साथियों को सीईसी मीटिंग आयोजित करने की ज़िम्मेदारी लेने के लिए दिल से बधाई देता है।

It has been 10 months since two instalments of Dearness Allowance (DA) due from January 2025 and July 2025, became payable to the casual labourers in BSNL. As per existing norms, casual labourers are fully eligible to receive these DA instalments. However, it is unfortunate that the Management has not yet issued the necessary orders for payment. On 25.11.2025, Com. Animesh Mitra, GS, BSNLEU, took up this issue during the discussion with the CMD BSNL and requested his personal intervention to resolve the delay. Immediately, CMD BSNL discussed the matter with the Director (HR) and enquired about the reasons for the prolonged delay. Following the discussion, the CMD assured that the necessary action would be taken for the early release of the pending DA to the casual labourers.
As decided in the last meeting of the General Secretaries and the representatives of the Unions and Associations in BSNL, a meeting was held with the CMD BSNL on 25.11.2025. Director (HR) and PGM (Estt.) were also present in the meeting. At the outset, Animesh Chandra Mitra, Convenor, expressed the grievances of the forum over the indifferent attitude of the Administration and the inordinate delay in placing the Wage Agreement before the Management Committee. Other General Secretaries and leaders also conveyed their unhappiness over the unnecessary time-killing approach of the Management. In response, the CMD BSNL assured that necessary action would be taken to place the proposal in the next MC meeting, after resolving the objections raised by the Finance Section.
The leaders of the forum further expressed their dissatisfaction regarding the slow progress in settling the HR issues of both the Executive and Non-Executive employees. During the discussion, the leadership also strongly criticised the manner in which the Management handled the issues related to the Tamil Nadu and Chennai circles. Responding to this, the CMD BSNL stated that a list of the burning HR issues of Executives and Non-Executives would be prepared separately and that the Management would take steps to settle these issues through negotiation.
वेज एग्रीमेंट फाइल की कार्यवाही और मानव संसाधन मसलों के सेटलमेंट में बहुत ज़्यादा देरी – AUAB के नेता सीएमडी बीएसएनएल से मिले।
बीएसएनएल में महासचिव और यूनियन्स और एसोसिएशन्स के प्रतिनिधियों की पिछली बैठक में तय किए गए अनुसार, 25.11.2025 को सीएमडी बीएसएनएल के साथ एक मीटिंग हुई। मीटिंग में निर्देशक (मानव) और प्रिंसिपल जनरल मैनेजर (एस्टा.) भी मौजूद थे। शुरू में, संयोजक अनिमेष चंद्र मित्रा ने प्रशासन के बेपरवाह रवैये और मैनेजमेंट कमिटी के सामने वेज एग्रीमेंट रखने में बहुत ज़्यादा देरी पर फोरम की शिकायतें बताईं। दूसरे महासचिव और नेताओं ने भी प्रशासन के बेवजह टाइम खराब करने वाले रवैये पर अपनी नाखुशी जताई। जवाब में, सीएमडी बीएसएनएल ने भरोसा दिलाया कि फाइनेंस सेक्शन की आपत्तियों को सॉल्व करने के बाद, अगली मैनेजमेंट कमिटी की बैठक में प्रस्ताव रखने के लिए ज़रूरी कदम लिया जाएगा।
फोरम के नेताओं ने एग्जीक्यूटिव और नॉन-एग्जीक्यूटिव दोनों कर्मचारियों के मानव संसाधन मुद्दों को सुलझाने में धीमी प्रगति पर भी अपनी नाराज़गी ज़ाहिर की। चर्चा के दौरान, लीडरशिप ने तमिलनाडु और चेन्नई सर्कल से जुड़े मुद्दों को मैनेजमेंट के हैंडल करने के तरीके की भी कड़ी आलोचना की। इस पर जवाब देते हुए, सीएमडी बीएसएनएल ने कहा कि एग्जीक्यूटिव और नॉन-एग्जीक्यूटिव के ज़रूरी मानव संसाधन मुद्दों की एक लिस्ट अलग से तैयार की जाएगी और प्रशासन इन मुद्दों को बातचीत से सुलझाने के लिए कदम उठाएगा।
The Finance Ministry held its pre-budget consultation meeting with leaders of the central trade unions on 20th November, 2025. These consultations are a routine exercise, as the Government traditionally seeks the views of trade unions before finalising the Union Budget. During the meeting, representatives of all major central trade unions raised several key demands and concerns for inclusion in the forthcoming Budget. A major issue highlighted was the need to expand coverage under EPF and ESI, as a large section of workers and employees still remain outside the ambit of these social security schemes. The unions also urged the Government to increase the pension amount under EPF. Another prominent demand was the enhancement of allowances for project workers, who currently receive comparatively low benefits despite their significant contribution. The trade union leaders expressed serious dissatisfaction over the inadequate audit of government projects, noting that the number of accounts subjected to audit has been decreasing. They stressed that proper auditing is essential for transparency and accountability. Commenting on the reported pressure from the United States regarding import duties, the leaders observed that India should prioritise the expansion of the domestic market, instead of depending heavily on export-based growth. Representatives from CITU, AITUC, HMS, AIUTUC, SEWA and AICCTU participated in the meeting.
वित्त मंत्रालय ने सेंट्रल ट्रेड यूनियनों के साथ बजट से पहले कंसल्टेशन किया।
वित्त मंत्रालय ने 20 नवंबर, 2025 को सेंट्रल ट्रेड यूनियनों के नेताओं के साथ अपनी बजट से पहले कंसल्टेशन मीटिंग की। ये कंसल्टेशन एक रेगुलर एक्सरसाइज है, क्योंकि सरकार ट्रेडिशनली यूनियन बजट को फाइनल करने से पहले ट्रेड यूनियनों की राय लेती है। मीटिंग के दौरान, सभी बड़े सेंट्रल ट्रेड यूनियनों के प्रतिनिधियों ने आने वाले बजट में शामिल करने के लिए कई खास मांगें और चिंताएं उठाईं। एक बड़ा मुद्दा EPF और ESI के तहत कवरेज बढ़ाने की ज़रूरत पर ज़ोर दिया गया, क्योंकि वर्कर्स और एम्प्लॉइज का एक बड़ा हिस्सा अभी भी इन सोशल सिक्योरिटी स्कीम के दायरे से बाहर है। यूनियनों ने सरकार से EPF के तहत पेंशन अमाउंट बढ़ाने की भी विनती की। एक और खास मांग प्रोजेक्ट वर्कर्स के लिए अलाउंस बढ़ाने की थी, जिन्हें अभी उनके बड़े कंट्रीब्यूशन के बावजूद तुलना में कम बेनिफिट्स मिलते हैं। ट्रेड यूनियन नेताओं ने सरकारी प्रोजेक्ट्स के नाकाफी ऑडिट पर गंभीर नाराजगी जताई, यह देखते हुए कि ऑडिट के लिए रखे गए अकाउंट्स की संख्या कम हो रही है। उन्होंने ज़ोर दिया कि ट्रांसपेरेंसी और अकाउंटेबिलिटी के लिए सही ऑडिटिंग ज़रूरी है। इंपोर्ट ड्यूटी को लेकर अमेरिका की तरफ से कथित दबाव पर कमेंट करते हुए, नेताओं ने कहा कि भारत को एक्सपोर्ट-बेस्ड ग्रोथ पर बहुत ज़्यादा निर्भर रहने के बजाय घरेलू मार्केट को बढ़ाने को प्राथमिकता देनी चाहिए। मीटिंग में CITU, AITUC, HMS, AIUTUC, SEWA और AICCTU के प्रतिनिधियों ने हिस्सा लिया।

13.11.2025 को एक ज़रूरी ऑनलाइन CEC मीटिंग हुई, जिसमें CHQ पदाधिकारियों और सर्कल सेक्रेटरी के साथ डिटेल में बातचीत के बाद कई ज़रूरी फैसले लिए गए। अब यह ज़रूरी है कि इन फैसलों को ज़मीनी स्तर पर लागू करने के लिए तुरंत और गंभीर कदम उठाए जाएं। मीटिंग में देश और खासकर बीएसएनएल में मौजूदा सामाजिक-आर्थिक हालात, ट्रेड यूनियन अधिकारों पर बढ़ते हमले, वेतन समझौते की स्थिति और भविष्य की प्रस्तावित कार्रवाई, श्रम शक्ति नीति – 2025 और दूसरे संगठनात्मक और पॉलिसी से जुड़े मुद्दों जैसे कई बड़े मुद्दों का रिव्यू और चर्चा हुई। सभी सर्कल सेक्रेटरी और CHQ प्रतिनिधियों से विनती है कि वे यह सुनिश्चित करें कि CEC मीटिंग में लिए गए फैसलों को उनके अपने सर्कल और ज़िलों में तुरंत लागू किया जाए। यह हमारे संगठन को मज़बूत करने और मिलकर ज़िम्मेदारी के साथ आगे बढ़ने के लिए ज़रूरी है।

सीएमडी बीएसएनएल और डायरेक्टर (मानव संसाधन) के साथ मीटिंग - कल का डेमोंस्ट्रेशन प्रोग्राम मुल्तवी.
साथी अनिमेष मित्रा, महासचिव आज सीएमडी बीएसएनएल और डायरेक्टर (मानव संसाधन) से मिले और मैनेजमेंट द्वारा वेज रिवीजन एग्रीमेंट की प्रोसेसिंग में हो रही देरी के बारे में बात की। भरोसा दिया गया कि फाइल इसी महीने मैनेजमेंट कमिटी की अप्रूवल के लिए रखी जाएगी। फिर, मैनेजमेंट ने 26 नवंबर के डेमोंस्ट्रेशन प्रोग्राम को मुल्तवी करने की विनती की क्योंकि इससे 3rd पीआरसी के सेटलमेंट में रुकावट आएगी। आज टॉप मैनेजमेंट की विनती के आधार पर, सीएचक्यू ने कल 26 नवंबर को होने वाले डेमोंस्ट्रेशन प्रोग्राम को मुल्तवी करने का फैसला किया है। सभी सर्कल सेक्रेटरी से विनती है कि वे यह संदेश सभी डिस्ट्रिक्ट सेक्रेटरी तक पहुंचा दें।
The Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions and Independent Industrial Federations has called upon the working people of India, across all sectors, to rise in united and determined resistance on 26 November 2025. This nationwide programme, being organised along with the peasants under the banner of Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), is a collective protest against the implementation of the labour codes. The call urges workers everywhere to demand the scrapping of the labour codes and the withdrawal of the draft Shram Shakti Niti 2025. The United Platform has also called upon all its members to wear black badges in workplaces as a mark of defiance. Beginning Monday, Gate Meetings, street-corner meetings, and meetings should be organised on a war footing, to expose the anti-worker, pro-corporate agenda of the Union Government, which seeks to push the wealth-producing classes into deeper exploitation. BSNLEU, in its online CEC Meeting, has thoroughly discussed the negative impacts of Shram Shakti Niti 2025 and the Four Labour Codes. It has been decided to conduct an effective and extensive campaign on these issues. Accordingly, BSNLEU calls upon all BSNL employees to organise aggressive and massive Demonstration Programmes on 26 November, at BSNL offices/exchanges, preferably in prominent public places. All comrades are also requested to coordinate with the leaders of AIBDPA and BSNLCCWF, and ensure active participation of their members in this programme.
