Sub:- Non-implementation of the order dated 17th February, 2021, issued by the Hon’ble Kerala High Court, in the WP(C) No.29212/2020 (B) — reg.
Ref:- DPE letter no.W-05/0004/2021-DPE(WC) dated 09th March, 2021.
With reference to the above, we wish to bring the following to your kind notice for favour of necessary action.
The DPE, vide it’s letter no.W-02/0039/2017-DPE(WC)-GL-XVI/20 dated 19th November, 2020, has frozen the Dearness Allowance to be paid to the employees of the CPSEs, becoming due from 01.10.2020, 01.01.2021 and 01.04.2021. However, it is also mentioned in para three of this letter that, the guidelines for freezing of the IDA “shall be applicable in case of Executives and Non-Unionised Supervisors of CPSEs….”.
However, it is regretted that, the BSNL Management has indiscriminately frozen the IDA of the Non-Executives also 5.5% of IDA has become due w.e.f. 01.10.2020. However, this instalment of the IDA has not been paid to the Non-Executives of BSNL. Under these circumstances, BSNL Employees Union filed a writ petition [WP(C) No.29212/2020(B)] in the Hon’ble Kerala High Court. After detailed hearing, the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala issued an order on 17th February, 2021, wherein it is stated that, the letter of the DPE, freezing the IDA, is applicable only to the Executives and Non-Unionised Supervisors of the CPSEs and that, the benefit of Dearness Allowance should not be denied to the members of the Petitioner Union.
After the aforementioned order is issued by the Hon’ble Kerala High Court, the DPE, vide it’s letter cited under reference, addressed to the Secretary, Department of Telecommunication, has stated that, the DA rate for workmen/non-executives is governed by the Wage Settlement between the Trade Union/Association and the Management of the CPSE concerned. The DPE has further stated that, it has no role in Wage Negotiation and has requested the DoT, the administrative department of BSNL, to take necessary action.
It is needless to state that, more than a month has already elapsed after the delivery of the judgement by the Hon’ble Kerala High Court. However, the 2nd instalments of IDA, i.e., 5.5% w.e.f. 01.10.2020 and 6.1% w.e.f. 01.01.2021, that have already become due, have not been paid to the Non-Executives working in BSNL. The Hon’ble Kerala High Court has already held that, the Non-Executives of BSNL are not covered by the ‘IDA freezing order’ of the DPE. Further, the DPE has already informed the DoT that, it has nothing to do with the payment of IDA of the Non-Executives of BSNL.
Under the above mentioned circumstances, it has become crystal-clear that, action has to be taken only by the BSNL Management, for the implementation of the order of the Hon’ble Kerala High Court. We also wish to bring to your kind notice that, the CMD BSNL is also a respondent in the WP(C) No.29212/2020(B). Hence, non-implementation of the order of the Hon’ble Kerala High Court, by the CMD BSNL, is tantamount to contempt of court. In view of the foregoing, I implore upon you to take necessary steps for the immediate payment of 5.5% IDA w.e.f. 01.10.2020 and 6.1% IDA w.e.f. 01.01.2021, to the Non-Executives of BSNL.
Thanking you,
Yours Sincerely,
[P. Abhimanyu]

Subject: Preservation of Backup of Sanchay Post Databases and reporting of errors in respect of Sanchay Post Application — Reg.
Madam / Sir,
A kind reference is invited to the SB Order No. 7/2010 dated 11.03.2010 issued in connection with the Security of Sanchay Post Database and issues relating to common problems, database back-up, storage and preservation and a revised procedure on maintenance of Database, Signature Scanning, Security of database, Frequency of data backup, Storage location of data backup, Preservation of audit trail and accountability of these activities was circulated. The same is reiterated in the Annexure-I.
2. It is observed that in some non-CBS offices, copies of backup of Sanchay Post databases are not being preserved as per the security guidelines issued by Directorate. Since Sanchay Post data is decentralized, preservation of backup of databases at periodical intervals (daily, weekly and monthly) as per security guidelines issued by Directorate, is essential for the purpose of investigation, prevention of frauds / misappropriation, backup restoration in case of system failures and for smooth day to day functioning of those offices.
3. Whenever error is displayed in Sanchay Post application in respect of non-CBS offices working in Sanchay Post, the offices should report the error immediately along with the complete details (such as name of the non-CBS office, Division email id and details of the error along with error screenshot) from official email id to CEPT SBLAN Help Desk ([email protected]).
4. In case of any database consistency errors, the errors may be forwarded to CEPT SBLAN Help Desk along with authentication of Divisional Heads (scanned copy of letter signed by Divisional Heads). Divisional Heads shall provide authentication only after ascertaining the correctness of the complete details provided by the office including the details of error reported in transactions of previous days, any action attempted for rectification of the error, along with date of availability of recent backup of the database of the office, which is in good condition without any database consistency errors.
5. Hence the Circles / Regions are requested to ensure that backup of databases in respect of non-CBS offices are preserved without fail as per the security guidelines issued by Directorate and errors are reported as detailed above.
6. This is issued with the approval of the Competent Authority.
