Suggestion for excercising options
(From our CHQ)

We have raised following points to BSNL HQ for clarification:

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“All the concessions given by BSNL to Non-Executives in relation to OTBP/BCR/Grade IV/ACP etc after 1.10.2000 stands withdrawn with immediate effect.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.


1) If NO promotion or upgradation is received after 1-10-2000, it is better for them to opt for new scheme. In such cases, they will get I promotion on 1-10-2004 and second promotion on 1-10-2011.

2) If any employee got promotion after 1-10-2000 but before 1-10-2004 he can opt for new scheme in which case the above promotion will be treated as First promotion and the second promotion will be seven years after the date of First promotion. In that case he may have to refund the financial benefits availed from that promotion upto 31-3-2008 as the First promotion in the new scheme is notional upto 31-3-2008.(In this connection, a clarification has been sought for).

3) If any employee got the promotion after 1-10-2000 but from 1-10-2004 to the date of issue of orders on new promotion i.e., 23-3-2010 , such employees can opt for the new scheme. In this case he will be given I promotion from 1-10-2004 notionally with financial benefit from 1-4-2008. Next promotion i.e., II promotion will be from 1-10-2011. The promotion already given under OTBP/BCR/Grade IV/ACP will be treated as cancelled.

4)If any employee got a vertical promotion (such as RM to TM, TM to TTA/Sr.TOA eyc) after 1-10-2000 but before 1-10-2004 it will be treated as First promotion and second promotion will be given after 7 years from the date of I postbased (vertical) promotion. In this case he need not refund the financial benefit obtained due to vertical promotion

5) If any employee got a vertical promotion after 1-10-2004, he will be eligible for I promotion in the previous cadre (held as on 1-10-2000) from 1-10-2004 and the vertical promotion given after 1-10-2004 will be treated as second promotion and the next promotion will be after eight years from the date of II promotion.

6) Those who are promoted in OTBP/BCR prior to 01.10.2000 and now only two years service is left, then opt for New Promotion Scheme.

7) Those who are in BCR 10% Grade and retiring by end of 2010/2011, they can take chance for proposed 9200 scale.

8) Those who are placed in BCR on 01.07.2008 and retiring in 2010 should not opt for NPPS.
9) Those who were Sr.TOA and in BCR from 1999, and got promoton in 10%        BCR on 01.01.2010 and retiring in 2011 should opt for NPPS as they will get next scale in 2004 an actual benefit from 01.01.2008.

9) Those who got BCR on 01.01.2000 and thereafter 10% BCR on 1st January, 2010 and retiring in 2011 should opt for NPPS as they will be placed in BCR from 01.01.2004 without actual benefit and actual benefit will be given from 01.04.2008.

10) Those who were LDC (TA) on 01.10.2000 and became TOA in 2004 due to conversion should opt for NPPS after careful consideration or wait as the issue is to be discussed further.

11) Those who were in OTBP in January/July 2000 and BCR is due in Jan/July 2010 and retiring after July 2010 should opt for NPPS as 1st upgradation will be given on 01.10.2004 and actual benefit from 01.04.2008.

12) Those who were RM prior to 01.10.2000 should opt for NPPS.



The above clarifications are suggestive in nature. The official concerned may calculate and consult the Accountant before exercising option..
