AIGETOA, has underlined that the representation captures the ground realities of BSNL’s executives and suggests practical reforms aimed at both organizational sustainability and employee motivation. The association has also requested an opportunity to present the issues and proposals in person before the Committee.
AIGETOA highlighted that despite having a highly qualified, experienced and committed workforce,
#BSNL continues to suffer from deep-rooted structural issues in governance and management. The continued dependence on officers on deputation for key decision-making roles for more than two decades has resulted in lack of ownership, weak accountability, and discontinuity in policy implementation.
The association strongly brought out the issue of severe career stagnation wherein a large number of executives have received only a single promotion in their entire service span. The situation is further aggravated due to non-filling of vacancies, with around 1000 DGM posts lying vacant, coupled with absence of a time-bound and structured promotion policy.
AIGETOA also raised serious concerns regarding the discriminatory HR practices prevailing in
#BSNL, particularly the dual pay structure between BSNL executives and officers on deputation. While officers on deputation continue to draw benefits as per Central Government norms,
#BSNL executives are governed by outdated and inadequate pay structures, leading to widespread dissatisfaction and erosion of morale.
It was further highlighted that recommendations of various committees constituted over the years have largely remained unimplemented, resulting in policy inertia. The increasing trend of lateral recruitment at higher levels has also created a trust deficit among internal executives and has adversely impacted the natural career progression framework.
AIGETOA has placed concrete and implementable suggestions before the Committee, including introduction of a time-bound promotion framework with provision of maximum residency period and personal upgradation, immediate filling of all vacant posts across levels, and adoption of CPSU-aligned promotion policies to ensure structured career growth.
The association has also recommended a calibrated and time-bound phase-out of the deputation system and development of a stable, internally driven leadership framework. It has been emphasized that leadership roles must progressively be filled from within BSNL to ensure continuity, accountability, and institutional strength.
Further, AIGETOA has demanded implementation of the 3rd PRC, removal of dual pay structure, and revision of outdated allowances such as TA/DA, HRA, transport allowance, and other benefits in line with present-day realities. Recruitment policies should be aligned with CPSU practices , with focus on entry-level recruitment and restricted lateral entry only in specialized non-core areas with proper benchmarking.
The need for a robust accountability framework was also emphasized, wherein performance of senior leadership is directly linked with organizational outcomes through defined KPIs. Transparent and merit-based selection mechanisms for leadership positions have also been proposed to strengthen governance.
AIGETOA reiterated that the revival of BSNL is intrinsically linked to empowerment of its internal workforce through fair, transparent and equitable HR policies. The association has requested the Committee for a detailed interaction to present its submissions and deliberate on the critical issues in detail.
AIGETOA firmly believes that without comprehensive HR reforms focusing on inclusiveness, accountability and internal capacity building, long-term sustainability and growth of BSNL cannot be achieved.
