Joint Protest by Unions & Associations of BSNL on 6th October 2025 in Solidarity with Chennai & Tamil Nadu Office Bearers:

Unions and Associations of BSNL in solidarity with the Chennai and Tamil Nadu office bearers belonging to various Unions and Associations. The office bearers were being victimized by serving chargesheet and penalty for raising the voice in support of the employees and trying to seek hearing from CGM Chennai Telecom and Tamil Nadu circle. The matter was raised time and again by the unions and associations together, both at Circle as well as Corporate level. Despite raising the matter and seeking respite through amicable means, neither BSNL Corporate Office nor the Chennai Circle responded with any settlement except for giving verbal assurances and at the end, chargesheet and penalty were served to some officer bearers of Chennai Telecom Circle.

Seeing no hope for respite through amicable means, finally General Secretaries of various unions and associations of BSNL on the feedback of Tamil Nadu and Chennai Circle, decided to oppose this regressive move of the management and denial of Justice by BSNL Corporate Office despite repeated requests of intervention in settling the matter. Accordingly Unions and Associations of BSNL have served a joint notice for a nationwide Protest on 6th October 2025 in solidarity with our Chennai and Tamil Nadu office bearers with following demands:

1. Immediately shift Shri S. Parthiban from the posts of CGM TN & CHTD and finally repatriate to DoT.

2. Withdraw all vindictive actions initiated against leaders and employees of CHTD Circle.

We sincerely feel management at Corporate level will take note of this and intervene urgently to avoid any further escalation of the situation. The unions and Associations of BSNL are determined and committed themselves to oppose any such regressive actions from management side either at corporate or at circle level and we can go to any extent of protest to ensure justice for the employees.

Demise of North East Cultural Icon – Zubeen Garg: A Colossal Loss to the Nation

AIGETOA deeply mourns the untimely demise of Zubeen Garg, a legendary voice of Assamese music and a cultural icon of Northeast India.

His music was not just melody but an expression of emotions, revolution, and identity for millions. Zubeen Da’s unparalleled contribution to Assamese and Indian music will forever remain etched in our hearts. He was more than an artist – he was a movement, a voice of the people, and a symbol of pride for Assam.

Our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and countless admirers across the world. May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may his music continue to inspire generations to come.

Update on Standard Pay Scale Case at Hon’ble CAT – Chandigarh on 19th Sept 2025:

The standard pay scale case hearing took place today, September 19, 2025, at the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) Chandigarh. Team AIGETOA was represented by All India President (AIP), Sh Vivek Kumar Singh AGS-2, Sh Sunil Kumar Gautam AGS-5, Sh Vikas Gupta Legal advisor, Sh Yogesh Chhabra, and Sh Umesh Saini, VP Punjab.

The case, pertaining to the implementation of standard pay scales E2 & E3 in BSNL, is one of the longest pending matters at CAT Chandigarh. The hearing saw our senior advocate shri R K Sharma presenting substantial arguments advocating for the implementation of standard pay scales for JTOs / JAOs on the E2 scale and SDEs / AOs on the E3 scale in BSNL. He categorically established that DOT is at fault by lowering the scale without following the due procedure and citing the affordability clause when BSNL was in absolute profit at the time of implementation of 2nd PRC having implanted revised scales for all other grades than JTO/JAO and SDE/AO which mostly pertained to BSNL Recruits.

The Hon’ble Judge has directed the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to submit the rationale behind downgrading the scales including the details of financial concurrence taken before deciding on the matter, emphasizing the non-adherence to DPE guidelines and considering BSNL’s financial position as mentioned under the affordability clause at the time of implementation of 2nd PRC benefits. Court also issued notice to DPE for reply on the matter.

Team AIGETOA is firm on getting justice on this issue and are closely monitoring the developments of this case. AIGETOA is the only association which has opposed this move of DOT and have been fighting for this since 2016. AIGETOA is the only association pursuing the residual benefits of 2nd PRC in both organizational as well as legal way. We are very sure that our efforts will succeed in not only getting the due scales of E2 pay scales for JTO/JAO equivalent scales but also we will ensure that arrears are also being paid by BSNL/DoT.

The next hearing is scheduled for October 17, 2025.

Team AIGETOA remains committed to bring justice and ensure the rights & benefit of BSNL employees.
