Sir,

     Sub:—NON-EXECUTIVE PROMOTION POLICY –REG
     Ref:—BSNL CO letter No.27-7/2008—TEII dtd 23.3.2010

        Kindly refer to the letter cited above. In order to give option under this scheme, the following doubts needs clarification. This union would be much obliged if the same is expedited as early as possible as the options are to be given within one month.

Doubts to be clarified

Para 2.3
1. An official was promoted to NE-10 scale (i.e. 7800) on 1.9.2000 and opted for pay fixation from the date of next increment which falls after 1.10.2000. It is presumed that for the purpose of promotion under this scheme he is considered to be on 7800 scale on 1.10.2000, irrespective of the date from which he is drawing pay in that scale. Please clarify.

para 5.2
2. It is stated that “All the concessions given by BSNL to Non-Executives in relation to OTBP/BCR/Grade IV/ACP etc after 1.10.2000 stands withdrawn with immediate effect.
This needs elucidation

Para 5.4
3. If the promotions already availed under OTBP/BCR/Grade IV/ACP schemes after 1.10.2000 is treated as First Promotion under new scheme (on option), the financial benefits already availed for the period upto 31.3.2008 needs to be refunded, as the first promotion under the new scheme is “Notional” upto 31.3.2008.
This is to be clarified.

Para 6.5
4. (a) If the post based promotion availed by an employee on or after 1.10.2000 but before 1.10.2004 is treated as first promotion under new scheme, whether the financial benefits availed upto 31.3.2008 needs to be refunded as the first promotion under this scheme is notional upto 31.3.2008
    (b) It is presumed that the post based promotion means vertical promotion from one cadre to another cadre through examination/ absorption etc. Kindly confirm
    (c) Whether the promotion to BCR grade IV is coming under post based or otherwise?

Para II (ii)
5. It is stated that except as provided in the instant guidelines, there will be no claim on account of any of the other provision of FR SR in the context of pay scales, pay fixation, substantive status etc. It may be clarified whether this includes the option under FRs for fixation of pay on promotion from the date of next increment or otherwise.

Thanking you.
