*Updates on the BDM Meeting with Management on dated 12th June 2025.* A meeting was held with Management on dated 12th June 2025 with respect to the organisational action calls given by Bhartiya Doorsanchar Manch. Management side once again emphasised that they are doing their best to work on the charter of demands raised by the BDM. It was also informed that a pre scheduled meeting with Director (CFA), Director (Ent) and Director (Finance) shall also be held with respect to the demands pertaining to their verticals. BDM side reaffirmed that we are always open to dialogues and discussions with a positive mindset but reiterated such discussions with the authorities must be result oriented and decisions on the demands should be taken during meeting. *Management side also highlighted that there was an inadvertent error on the part of minutes issued in last meeting with respect to extension of Standard Pay Scales wherein the management side informed about the communication received from DoT in 2022 during the agitation called by the other association and the same was mistakenly captured as conclusive decision. Management side assured BDM that they shall be immediately communicating the representation received from the Forum on E2-E3 pay scales and waiver of affordability clause on 3rd PRC to DoT for consideration at their end.* Management side also shared the update on the actions taken by the HR group *on the issues of Perks and Allowances, Revision of TA/DA, Revision of Monthly Transport allowance and committee constituted for the purpose has almost finalized its report.* The progress made so far appeared to be positive but the same is still not final however we do appreciate the progress made so far. *Similarly on the issue of Promotions in Finance Section viz AO to CAO and thereafter JAO to AO, BDM proposed to extend the promotions based on earlier precedence under similar conditions and assured that BDM shall extend all possible support to end the stalemate.* The same was accepted by Management and the concerned nodal cell was directed to take necessary action on such lines. On the issue of Promotions in Telecom stream, it was assured that *management shall be working on some alternate mechanism by which Promotions can be extended to all the eligible executives.* The other committees are also working and they shall be submitting their reports expeditiously. On the issue of SAB and PRMB, it was told that a detailed meeting with Director Finance shall be arranged wherein it can be assessed how much contribution can be increased but management side was categorical in stating that it will be an eyewash if without discussions with Finance wing, anything is assured. *However management side assured that they will take best efforts to ensure that a satisfactory increase in SAB Contribution is extended to BSNL Recruits.* On the issue of *Pay loss, the reconstituted committee shall be notified soon. Further the JE period pay loss issue shall be referred to the management side of the wage negotiation committee for examination.* Similarly *the issue of fixing appropriate JE pay Scales and stagnation raised by BTEU BSNL shall be referred to wage negotiation committee* and the representation submitted by BDM shall be discussed with BTEU BSNL. *The issue of extending mobile handsets to non executives shall be examined for placing it before management committee.* Management side requested for deferring the organisational actions on the above backdrop. The issue of consideration of retention and modification requests, issuance of remaining OTP transfers and orders of those who have completed their tenure was also discussed. It was assured that Pers Section shall be taking the needful action soon. The issue of clearing the review DPC of PWD quota executives was also discussed. Management side assured that they are working on the same but due to pendency of data, same is taking time. We requested for expediting the same. BDM side reaffirmed that we are always open to discussions but we want tangible actions in the form of output. *We also stated that we do welcome the change in approach and positivity shall be reciprocated with positivity.* We informed management that BDM OBs shall be discussing the appeal of the Management with the rank and file. Later on post discussions with the CHQ and CS CP, it was decided that since there is a positive progress, WhatsApp Quitting and Twitter Program can be put on hold. *But the peaceful lunch hour demonstration shall be held as per the pre-scheduled Program.* Friends, the last meeting held with Management has shown some progress but still we have miles to go before our demands which are in the best interest of BSNL and its employees are met. *Hence BDM has decided to keep the action programs on till we get a firm tangible output on the issues raised.* Hence all the members are requested to follow the calls and support the objectives. Bharatiya Doorsanchar Manch is committed to ensure that the interests of BSNL and its employees remain protected. *We request all the employees of BSNL to keep extending their support by rising above the association and union boundaries.* We assure firmly that we will try our best to fulfill the expectations associated with BDM. *Jai Hind , Jai Bharat.* Regards Team BHARTIYA DOORSANCHAR MANCH
