Group Medical Health Insurance Scheme for BSNL Employees

Details

Published on Tuesday, 17 November 2020 05:52

The need for a Group Medical Health Insurance for BSNL Employees is a serious concern which was raised by this association when financial crisis started effecting the medical reimbursement of employees badly and is pending for time long. There is also an imminent need to create a separate PRMB trust and fund manager for post retirement medical expenses pertaining to BSNL recruited employees as they will not be having the CGHS option for the medical reimbursement after retirement. For the working employees of BSNL suggested that if BSNL is not able to disburse medical claims on regular basis, it should engage, some external responsible government owned insurance company providing Group Mediclaim Facilities. This scheme if implemented will result in huge savings in terms of reduced predictable and budgeted expenditure on Medical Coverage & other  resources expenditure for BSNL. The morale of the employees will boost up and there by contributing to increased productivity.

As far as  the scheme for group insurance in force for employees of  BSNL is a Group Term Insurance (GTI) and that too offered by LIC which is not a Group Health Insurance. Thus it is felt that management is either confused or misguided on any such scheme in force initiated from BSNL side.  We out rightly rejected about continuance of some privately placed insurance scheme which is already under scanner and details are yet to be known.  It may also be noted that neither the insurance policy document or details available in public domain nor the tax benefits/ receipts are given to beneficiaries of such scheme which itself cast doubts about its transparency.

Being the recognised representative executive association in BSNL, AIGETOA Kerala conveyed its open support to a Group Medical Health Insurance scheme under the banner of the employer ie BSNL through negotiation with Major Government owned insurance companies. Our association hope to have deliberations as deemed fit and is ready to provide the road map in this regard for the benefit of employees and shared some matters that need to be considered.

Meeting with CGMT , BSNL Kerala on 02/11/2020

Details

Published on Wednesday, 04 November 2020 00:31

Our CS, ACS & VP met CGMT BSNL Kerala on 02/11/2020. We thanked Circle administration for sending the corrections in AIEL for DPC in time. Administration assured that the SCR also will be cleared from Kerala Circle in time. Further we have requested for the issuance of pending request transfers - for which CGMT assured that the same will be processed on November 5th and orders can be expected accordingly. We have appraised CGMT with regard to some corner's ill motive to displacement of JTO to SDE promotion expected candidates. We cannot accept such move which is against rules and even natural justice. There are many executives who have completed more than 20 year's of service in the same BA. CGMT informed us that there's no change from his earlier stand, that if inter BA displacement is inevitable, then it will be processed from long stay only.

Further we have pointed out some discrepancies which were included ( intentionally from the section which processed the same ? ) in the AGM LA volunteer letter. CGMT communicated that , he was not aware of such discrepancies and definitely he will look into and Will not allow any such ill intensions plotted if any. Our team met GM HR/Admin and DGM HR/Admin also and discussed the matters.

Clearance of Inter BA Request Transfers & Processing of Long stay list

Details

Published on Monday, 26 October 2020 21:04

Even though this association was assured by circle management that transparency will be ensured in the case of processing transfer requests and other related matters, the recent lethargic attitude from circle office HR section is dubious. At one end the various assurances to the recognised association after the agenda meeting held on 28/9/20 is kept pending and on other end selective clearances are being made.

It is learnt that the Kerala counter part of one particular association who has failed to stop the forthcoming DPC promotions of JTO to SDE, are now vouching for inter BA displacement of executives at the time of promotion instead of effecting the same from long stay.

The shameless plan plotted by a proclaimed leader at the far end of service especially against the interests of BSNL recruited executives cannot be accepted by AIGETOA and we will strive to ensure that justified transparent methods are adopted in inter BA transfers. We requested the circle administration to effect the pending request transfers and other assurances inline with the last agenda meeting.
