[30.10.2009]Pay Anomaly Committee meeting:- The Pay Anomaly Committee meeting was held on 30-10-2009. Com V.A.N.Namboodiri GS and Com P.Asokababu AGS BSNLEU participated from the Staff side.

The necessity to form another Committee arose since the DoT rejected the agreement of the earlier Anomaly Committee. It stated that Revised Pay Rules and option for pay fixation from the date of next increment falling after 1-10-2000 for those promoted before 1-10-2000 are not applicable for settling the anomaly cases. As such the management stated that it is almost impossible to settle the issues. Management also pointed out that neither in MTNL nor for executives in BSNL it self such anomalies/aberrations could be settled.

The staff side pointed out that at the time of conversion of CDA pay scales to IDA pay scales itself it was assured by the management that these anomalies/aberrations will be sympathetically considered and settled. In the wage revision order (CDA to IDA) also it was mentioned. As such the management has to take suitable decision for early settlement.

After much discussion the official side was prepared to consider the issue of granting personal pay to the extent of the difference to the seniors after promotion of the junior to the higher grade. It will also be considered whether the senior in the higher grade can be given personal pay to the extent of difference between senior in the higher grade and junior in the lower grade.

The next meeting will be held after two weeks.

[30.10.2009]Meeting of United Forum:- The meeting of United Forum held on 29th October, 2009 at National Council room discussed reservation / relaxation in promotion policy and entrusted a committee consisting Coms.
