जेई वेतनमान संशोधन - कुछ तथ्य।

BSNLEU द्वारा वेतन संशोधन समझौते पर हस्ताक्षर करने के बाद एसएनएटीटीए नेतृत्व यह छवि बनाने की कोशिश कर रहा है कि BSNLEU जेई संवर्ग विरोधी है। एसएनएटीटीए नेतृत्व ने जेई से BSNLEU की सदस्यता वापस लेने का आह्वान किया है। वे जेई को गुमराह करने के लिए BSNLEU के खिलाफ सरासर झूठ फैला रहे हैं। संलग्न नोट में जेई वेतनमान संशोधन के मुद्दे से संबंधित कुछ तथ्यों की व्याख्या की गई है।

The SNATTA leadership is accusing that, BSNLEU has not done anything to get better pay scale for the JE cadre. Is it true?

The Wage Revision Committee was constituted in April, 2018. In this Committee, the new pay scales of the Non-Executives were finalised in July, 2018. The JE cadre pay scale (NE-9) is finalised as 33,200 – 86,300 (33 years’ span). This is purely the achievement of the recognised unions. No SNATTA leader was in the Wage Revision Committee at that time.

Thereafter, Shri P.K. Purwar took charge as the new CMD BSNL. He rejected all the new pay scales finalised in July, 2018. Instead, shorter pay scales were offered by the Management. In this, Management offered 31,000 – 63,000 (24 years’ span) for the JE cadre. BSNLEU vehemently opposed this change. BSNLEU organised many struggles against the highhandedness of the Management in offering shorter pay scales to the Non-Executives.

Due to the continuous efforts taken by BSNLEU, one informal meeting of the Wage Revision Committee was held on 19th February, 2024. Only GS, BSNLEU and GS, NFTE participated in this informal meeting. Some improvements were made to the shorter pay scales already offered by the Management. According to those proposals, NE-9 pay scale was modified as 31,000 – 70,000. Thus, the maximum of the NE-9 pay scale was increased from 63,000 to 70,000. However, these proposals were completely rejected by the top Management of BSNL.

When the Wage Revision talks were going on, BSNLEU wrote separate letters to the CMD BSNL demanding higher pay scale for the JE cadre. On 31.12.2021, BSNLEU wrote letter to the CMD BSNL demanding upgradation of the pay scale from NE-9 to NE-10 pay scale.

When 35,400 – 1,12,400 pay scale was implemented by the DoT, BSNLEU wrote letter to the CMD BSNL on 17.07.2025, demanding that 35,400 – 1,12,400 pay scale should be implemented for the JE cadre in BSNL. BSNLEU is the only recognised union which has twice demanded upgradation of the pay scale of the JE cadre.

Hence, the propaganda being made by SNATTA leadership that BSNLEU did not take any effort to improve the JE pay scale is totally mischievous.   

जेई संवर्ग के लिए बेहतर वेतनमान प्राप्त करने हेतु BSNLEU द्वारा क्या प्रयास किए जा रहे हैं ? 

एसएनएटीटीए नेतृत्व आरोप लगा रहा है कि BSNLEU ने जेई संवर्ग के लिए बेहतर वेतनमान प्राप्त करने हेतु कुछ नहीं किया है। क्या यह सच है ?

वेतन संशोधन समिति का गठन अप्रैल, 2018 में किया गया था। इस समिति ने जुलाई, 2018 में नॉन एक्ज़िक्यूटिव 
कर्मचारियों के नए वेतनमानों को अंतिम रूप दिया। जेई संवर्ग का वेतनमान (NE-9) 33,200 - 86,300 (33 वर्ष की अवधि) निर्धारित किया गया। यह विशुद्ध रूप से मान्यता प्राप्त यूनियनों की उपलब्धि है। उस समय एसएनएटीटीए का कोई भी नेता वेतन संशोधन समिति में नहीं था।

इसके बाद, श्री पी.के. पुरवार ने बीएसएनएल के नए अध्यक्ष एवं प्रबंध निदेशक के रूप में कार्यभार संभाला। उन्होंने जुलाई, 2018 में अंतिम रूप दिए गए सभी नए वेतनमानों को अस्वीकार कर दिया। इसके बजाय, प्रबंधन द्वारा कम वेतनमानों की पेशकश की गई। इसमें प्रबंधन ने जेई संवर्ग के लिए 31,000-63,000 (24 वर्ष की अवधि) वेतनमान की पेशकश की। BSNLEU ने इस बदलाव का कड़ा विरोध किया। BSNLEU ने नॉन एक्ज़िक्यूटिव्स  को कम वेतनमान देने की प्रबंधन की मनमानी के खिलाफ कई संघर्ष किए।

BSNLEU के निरंतर प्रयासों के परिणामस्वरूप, वेतन संशोधन समिति की एक अनौपचारिक बैठक 19 फरवरी, 2024 को आयोजित की गई। इस अनौपचारिक बैठक में केवल महासचिव, BSNLEU और महासचिव, एनएफटीई ने भाग लिया। प्रबंधन द्वारा पहले से प्रस्तावित कम वेतनमानों में कुछ सुधार किए गए। उन प्रस्तावों के अनुसार, NE-9 वेतनमान को 31,000-70,000 के रूप में संशोधित किया गया। इस प्रकार, NE-9 वेतनमान की अधिकतम सीमा 63,000 से बढ़ाकर 70,000 कर दी गई। हालाँकि, बीएसएनएल के शीर्ष प्रबंधन ने इन प्रस्तावों को पूरी तरह से खारिज कर दिया।

जब वेतन संशोधन पर बातचीत चल रही थी, तब BSNLEU ने जेई संवर्ग के लिए उच्च वेतनमान की मांग करते हुए सीएमडी बीएसएनएल को अलग-अलग पत्र लिखे। 31.12.2021 को BSNLEU ने सीएमडी बीएसएनएल को पत्र लिखकर वेतनमान को NE-9 से NE-10 वेतनमान में अपग्रेड करने की मांग की।

जब दूरसंचार विभाग द्वारा 35,400 - 1,12,400 वेतनमान लागू किया गया, तो BSNLEU ने 17.07.2025 को सीएमडी बीएसएनएल को पत्र लिखकर मांग की कि बीएसएनएल में जेई संवर्ग के लिए 35,400 - 1,12,400 वेतनमान लागू किया जाए। BSNLEU एकमात्र मान्यता प्राप्त यूनियन है जिसने दो बार जेई संवर्ग के वेतनमान के उन्नयन की मांग की है।

इसलिए, एसएनएटीटीए नेतृत्व द्वारा किया जा रहा यह प्रचार कि BSNLEU ने जेई वेतनमान में सुधार के लिए कोई प्रयास नहीं किया, पूरी तरह से शरारतपूर्ण है।

BSNLEU has taken all out efforts in the Wage Revision Committee, to get justified pay scales for all the Non-Executive cadres, including the JE cadre. From 2022 up to 2025 we have taken efforts to improve the shorter pay scales offered by the Management. However, due to the adamant attitude of the BSNL Management, we were not able to get the justified pay scales.

Apart from discussing in the Wage Revision Committee, BSNLEU organised many agitational programmes to settle the Wage Revision and also other burning problems of the JE cadre. Apart from many demonstrations, two powerful dharnas were organised at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi. BSNLEU has also organised two strikes on 16.02.2024 and on 09.07.2025, in which Wage Revision is the number one demand. Other important demands are New Promotion Policy for the Non-Executives and Review of the anti-employee Restructuring Scheme. All these are the important demands of JE cadre also. Com.Suresh Kumar, GS, SNATTA and his other leaders of SNATTA did not participate in these strikes. Why? It is because of the fear of victimisation and pay cut, that Suresh Kumar did not participate in the strikes. At the same time, a good number of DR JEs throughout the country have participated in these strikes. It is only BSNLEU which has organised heroic struggles for the settlement of the important demands of JE cadre.

Restructuring of Manpower Scheme is a very big attack on all the cadres, especially the JE cadre. JEs are unable to get Rule-8 transfers and are denied of the opportunity to appear in JTO LICE. It is only because of massive abolition of posts under the Restructuring Scheme. However, only BSNLEU fought against the Restructuring Scheme. On this issue also, SNATTA remained as a silent-spectator.   

BSNLEU ने जेई संवर्ग की मांगों के समाधान हेतु वीरतापूर्ण संघर्ष किए।

BSNLEU ने वेतन संशोधन समिति में जेई संवर्ग सहित सभी नॉन एक्ज़िक्यूटिव संवर्गों के लिए उचित वेतनमान प्राप्त करने हेतु हर संभव प्रयास किए हैं। 2022 से 2025 तक हमने प्रबंधन द्वारा प्रस्तावित अल्प वेतनमानों में सुधार के लिए प्रयास किए हैं। हालाँकि, बीएसएनएल प्रबंधन के अड़ियल रवैये के कारण, हमें उचित वेतनमान नहीं मिल पाया।

वेतन संशोधन समिति में चर्चा के अलावा, BSNLEU ने वेतन संशोधन और जेई संवर्ग की अन्य ज्वलंत समस्याओं के समाधान हेतु कई आंदोलनात्मक कार्यक्रम आयोजित किए। कई प्रदर्शनों के अलावा, जंतर-मंतर, नई दिल्ली में दो शक्तिशाली धरने आयोजित किए गए। BSNLEU ने 16.02.2024 और 09.07.2025 को दो हड़तालें भी आयोजित कीं, जिनमें वेतन संशोधन प्रमुख मांग रही। अन्य महत्वपूर्ण माँगों में नॉन एक्ज़िक्यूटिव्स के लिए नई पदोन्नति नीति और कर्मचारी-विरोधी पुनर्गठन योजना की समीक्षा शामिल हैं। ये सभी जेई संवर्ग की भी महत्वपूर्ण माँगें हैं। एसएनएटीटीए के  महासचिव साथी  सुरेश कुमार और एसएनएटीटीए के उनके अन्य नेताओं ने इन हड़तालों में भाग नहीं लिया। क्यों ? उत्पीड़न और वेतन कटौती के डर से ही सुरेश कुमार ने हड़तालों में भाग नहीं लिया। साथ ही, देश भर के कई डीआर जेई ने इन हड़तालों में भाग लिया। केवल BSNLEU ने ही जेई संवर्ग की महत्वपूर्ण माँगों के समाधान के लिए वीरतापूर्ण संघर्ष किए हैं।

जनशक्ति योजना का पुनर्गठन सभी संवर्गों, विशेषकर जेई संवर्ग पर एक बहुत बड़ा हमला है। जेई नियम-8 के तहत स्थानांतरण पाने में असमर्थ हैं और उन्हें जेटीओ एलआईसीई में उपस्थित होने के अवसर से वंचित किया जा रहा है। यह केवल पुनर्गठन योजना के तहत बड़े पैमाने पर पदों को समाप्त करने के कारण है। हालाँकि, केवल BSNLEU ने ही पुनर्गठन योजना के खिलाफ लड़ाई लड़ी। इस मुद्दे पर भी एसएनएटीटीए मूकदर्शक बना रहा।

SNATTA is accusing BSNLEU that, the two members SNATTA in the Wage Revision Committee were suddenly removed before the final meeting to be held on 08.10.2025. As a result, SNATTA members are prevented from effectively presenting the NE-9 pay scale in the final meeting. This accusation is being levelled by SNATTA leadership only to rouse the JE cadre sentiment and to gain the sympathy of JE comrades.

Com.Suresh Kumar and Com. Manu Mehra, were nominated by BSNLEU to the Wage Revision Committee in November, 2022, after the 9th Membership Verification. It is already 3 years since both the SNATTA members became members of the Wage Revision Committee. In the last 3 years, they have had enough time to improve the NE-9 pay scale. We ask why the SNATTA members have not been able to improve the NE-9 pay scale during the last 3 years? When they have not done anything in the last 3 years how they are expected to do the miracle in the meeting to be held on 08.10.2025.

The original plan of the two SNATTA members is to stop BSNLEU from signing the Wage Revision Agreement. They have successfully stopped the recognised unions from signing the Wage Revision Agreement in the meetings held on 17.09.2025 and 26.09.2025. They have planned to stop the signing of the Wage Revision Agreement in the final meeting to be held on 08.10.2025 also. Thereafter, no Wage Revision Agreement could be signed since the recognition of both BSNLEU and NFTE will expire on 16.10.2025. If the agreement is not signed on 08.10.2025, it will cause great loss to the majority of the Non-Executives. To stop this disaster from happening, BSNLEU took timely action by replacing the two SNATTA members in the Wage Revision Committee.

क्या एसएनएटीटीए सदस्यों को NE-9 वेतनमान में सुधार करने से रोका जा रहा है ? 

एसएनएटीटीए, BSNLEU पर आरोप लगा रहा है कि वेतन संशोधन समिति में एसएनएटीटीए के दो सदस्यों को 08.10.2025 को होने वाली अंतिम बैठक से पहले अचानक हटा दिया गया। परिणामस्वरूप, एसएनएटीटीए सदस्यों को अंतिम बैठक में NE-9 वेतनमान को प्रभावी ढंग से प्रस्तुत करने से रोका जा रहा है। एसएनएटीटीए नेतृत्व द्वारा यह आरोप केवल जेई कैडर की भावनाओं को भड़काने और जेई साथियों की सहानुभूति प्राप्त करने के लिए लगाया जा रहा है।

साथी  सुरेश कुमार और साथी  मनु मेहरा को BSNLEU द्वारा नवंबर, 2022 में, 9वें सदस्यता सत्यापन के बाद, वेतन संशोधन समिति में नामित किया गया था। दोनों एसएनएटीटीए सदस्यों को वेतन संशोधन समिति के सदस्य बने हुए 3 वर्ष हो चुके हैं। पिछले 3 वर्षों में, उनके पास NE-9 वेतनमान में सुधार करने के लिए पर्याप्त समय रहा है। हम पूछते हैं कि एसएनएटीटीए के सदस्य पिछले तीन वर्षों में NE-9 वेतनमान में सुधार क्यों नहीं कर पाए ? जब उन्होंने पिछले तीन वर्षों में कुछ नहीं किया, तो 08.10.2025 को होने वाली बैठक में उनसे चमत्कार की उम्मीद कैसे की जा सकती है ?

एसएनएटीटीए के दोनों सदस्यों की मूल योजना BSNLEU को वेतन संशोधन समझौते पर हस्ताक्षर करने से रोकना है। उन्होंने 17.09.2025 और 26.09.2025 को हुई बैठकों में मान्यता प्राप्त यूनियनों को वेतन संशोधन समझौते पर हस्ताक्षर करने से सफलतापूर्वक रोक दिया है। उन्होंने 08.10.2025 को होने वाली अंतिम बैठक में भी वेतन संशोधन समझौते पर हस्ताक्षर करने से रोकने की योजना बनाई है। इसके बाद, वेतन संशोधन समझौते पर हस्ताक्षर नहीं हो पाएँगे क्योंकि BSNLEU और एनएफटीई दोनों की मान्यता 16.10.2025 को समाप्त हो जाएगी। यदि 08.10.2025 तक समझौते पर हस्ताक्षर नहीं किए जाते हैं, तो इससे अधिकांश नॉन एक्ज़िक्यूटिव कर्मचारियों को भारी नुकसान होगा। इस संकट को रोकने के लिए, BSNLEU ने वेतन संशोधन समिति में दो एसएनएटीटीए सदस्यों को बदलकर समय पर कार्रवाई की।

Leaders of BSNLEU, Com.M.Vijaykumar, President, Com.Animesh Mitra, General Secretary and Com.P.Abhimanyu, Vice-President, met Shri Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director (HR) yesterday the 09-10-2025 and expressed their thanks for the cooperation extended for the signing of the Wage Revision Agreement. In this meeting, the leaders told the Director (HR) that, the holding of the 10^th Membership Verification has already become due. They requested the Director (HR) to initiate immediate action for holding the 10th Membership Verification without further delay. The Director (HR) responded positively and assured that, the Management would take immediate action for conducting the 10th Membership Verification.

After 7 years of continuous efforts, the Recognised Trade Unions of BSNL have signed the Wage Revision Agreement for the Non-Executives w.e.f  01-01-2017. Copy of the agreement is enclosed here under for the perusal of our comrades.

As all comrades are aware, the Recognised Unions of the Non-Executives have signed the Wage Revision Agreement, in the meeting held on 08-10-2025. Signing of the Wage Revision Agreement in a loss making PSU is a very big achievement. This achievement has been made after 7 years' of dedicated work. Around 15,000 employees, who have lost their increments due to stagnation, are going to get benefitted. The All India Centre meeting of BSNLEU, held at New Delhi on 09-10-2025, has decided to give call to all the District Unions, to organise special meetings at the district level, for explaining the details of the Wage Revision Agreement to all our employees. The All India Centre has decided that, these special meetings at the district level should be organised from 13th to 18th October 2025. The Report of the Wage Revision Committee (Agreement) is being sent to the circle and district unions. CHQ will also send a note explaining this Agreement. Based on this, the leaders should explain the details of the Wage Revision Agreement to the employees.

Wage Revision Committee meeting is held today the 08-10-2025 and signed the agreement. All members of BSNLEU and NFTE participated. The following are the details of the agreement:-

1. Pay scales are as per the list attached.

3. Pay loss to any employee will be compensated by giving personal pay, to be absorbed in future increments. 
4. Revision of perks and allowances will be decided by the BSNL Board and will be implemented from the date of signing of the Wage Revision Agreement. ( A committee is already constituted by the Management for the revision of allowances)
5. HRA revision will be decided by the BSNL Board.
6. Anomalies and aberrations will be addressed suitably.
7. The pay scales implemented in this Wage Revision will not form the basis for revision of pay scales in the next Wage Revision.

Severe damage to human lives has been caused in the hilly states of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu & Kashmir and West Bengal, since the starting of monsoon rains in June, 2025. 28 people have been killed in North West Bengal due to heavy rains and landslides two days ago. Yesterday, 18 people were killed in Himachal Pradesh, when a bus got trapped in landslide. Similarly, many people have died in the states of Uttarakhand, J&K, Assam, etc. BSNLEU conveys it’s heartfelt condolences for the death of innocent lives, caused due to the natural calamity.

The Recognition period of both BSNLEU and NFTE are expiring on 16.10.2025. Hence, thousands of Non-Executives, who are suffering from the acute problem of stagnation, are expecting for an early settlement of the Wage Revision. The Wage Revision Agreement could have been signed in the meeting held on 17.09.2025 or on 26.09.2025. However, BSNLEU’s two JE nominees in the Wage Revision Committee, played negative role and hence agreement could not be signed. In the name of modifying NE-9 pay scale, they refused to sign the agreement. Finally, they requested to arrange a meeting with the CMD BSNL before the next meeting to be held on 08.10.2025. But, before the meeting with the CMD BSNL could be held, Com.Suresh Kumar, GS, SNATTA, circulated a WhatsApp message on 28.09.2025. In that message he has raised objection not only on the NE-9 pay scale, but on the entire Wage Revision Agreement. Hence, BSNLEU gave a letter to him, requesting to clarify whether the JE comrades in the Wage Revision Committee would sign the Wage Revision Agreement at least in the next meeting to be held on 08.10.2025. But, Com.Suresh Kumar, GS, SNATTA, did not give a positive reply. If the Wage Revision Agreement is not signed on 08.10.2025, the entire Non-Executive employees would face an irreparable loss. Hence, BSNLEU was compelled to replace it’s two JE nominees in the Wage Revision Committee. Had Com.Suresh Kumar, GS, SNATTA, given a positive reply, BSNLEU would not have been compelled to replace the JE comrades from the Wage Revision Committee. Only the irresponsibility and immaturity of the two JE comrades have led to such an undesirable situation. However, now, the SNATTA leadership has started maligning BSNLEU as anti-JE cadre. Hence, it has become the duty of BSNLEU to explain to all the employees what has happened in the Wage Revision Committee. A note on this issue, issued by BSNLEU, is enclosed for the information of all the comrades.

The enthusiastic lunch hour demonstration program organised by AUAB across the country on October 6, 2025, has compelled the BSNL Management to call a negotiation meeting at Corporate Office. The protest was in solidarity with Chennai and Tamil Nadu circles, where the administration's actions were contested. Despite AUAB's efforts to resolve the issue amicably since July 2025, the Management showed indifference. However, the united stance of Executives and Non-Executives during the demonstration forced the Corporate Office to arrange a meeting with AUAB leadership. The meeting, chaired by Director (HR) Dr. Kalyan Sagar Nippani, resulted in the Management assuring needful action on the issues raised. A written commitment was also provided to the leadership, who warned that any violation would lead to intensified struggle. The AUAB's collective action has achieved a significant outcome, demonstrating the power of unity in advocating for employees' rights.

The BSNLEU Jharkhand Circle Conference took place on October 5^th at the Ranchi Telephone Exchange Conference Hall. The event saw enthusiastic participation from BSNL's regular staff. The conference began at 11 am with a welcome address by Com. Rituraj, Assistant Circle Secretary, and was presided over by Com. Binod Singh, President. Newly posted CGM, Shri Bipul Agarwal, inaugurated the conference, highlighting BSNL's departmental activities, particularly in relation to its 25-year celebrations. General Secretary, Com. Animesh Mitra, highlighted the Central Government's neglect of BSNL, especially concerning 4G and 5G upgrades. He praised the workers and officers for their dedication in keeping BSNL operational since October 2000, despite government efforts to undermine PSUs. He also discussed BSNLEU's role in PRC meetings and expressed optimism about resolving pay scale and other issues in the next meeting scheduled for October 8th. Following the inaugural session, a subject committee meeting was held. Com. Bijoy Paswan, Circle Secretary, presented the secretariat report, which was followed by valuable deliberations from 13 comrades. Com. Animesh Mitra and Com. Bijoy Paswan addressed queries raised by delegates. The meeting also discussed preparations for the next Membership Verification in detail. The conference concluded with the unanimous election of office bearers for the next term, with Com. Binod Singh as President and Com. Bijoy Paswan as Circle Secretary. Com. Binod Singh extended a vote of thanks, wrapping up a successful event.

The AUAB has called for a nationwide protest on October 6th, during lunch hour, to condemn the negative and indifferent attitude of the circle administrations, particularly in Tamil Nadu and Chennai. We stand in solidarity with the comrades of Chennai and Tamil Nadu who have faced victimisation for supporting the employees' rights. Let's unite to make this demonstration program a grand success, demanding justice, rights and respect. We urge all circle and district secretaries of BSNLEU to participate actively with the consultation of AUAB leadership at our circle and district to ensure a strong, collective voice. Together, we can make a difference. Let’s send a strong message to the Corporate Office Management on October 6^th.

BSNLEU conveys best wishes and warm greetings to all, on the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. One of the basic ambitions of Mahatma Gandhi is communal harmony. He taught us that India is a country, which belongs to the people of all the religions. Today, Mahatma Gandhi's preaching is being rejected. We are being told that, India belongs to the people of a particular religion. Mahatma Gandhi was shot dead by a religious fanatic. While celebrating the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, let us uphold his preaching and to do our best to strengthen communal harmony.
