14-10-2011: Nine months more for BSNL....(Source...FE editorial 12th, OCT)

A serious problem is staring at the government in general and telecom minister Kapil Sibal in particular—a problem that the New Telecom Policy 2011 will not be able to address. Come next June, the state-owned BSNL would not have money to pay salaries to its nearly 2.8 lakh employees, and if the government wants to avert this crisis, it needs to expeditiously draft and clear a voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) for roughly 1 lakh employees of the PSU. The government can do its arithmetic, but back of the envelope calculations show that it would have to shell out around R15,000-18,000 crore to fund this VRS programme. Is it ready to cough up this kind of money? One does not know, but what is certain is that come next June, a bailout would become necessary for the company.

This is the economics of the company—which is not listed and so does not...come out with quarterly results, and its earnings for the fiscal 2010-11 are yet to be officially announced. However, officials say that its net loss for the year stands at R6,384 crore. Add to this a net loss of around R400 crore that the company is understood to have posted in the April-June period of the current fiscal. Since July, the yearly R2,000 crore it used to get from the Universal Service Obligation Fund in lieu of the discontinued access deficit charge has also stopped. This means during the current fiscal the company is losing around R25 crore each day and R750 crore each month!

How is the company, then, still managing operations? The answer is simple: by dipping into its cash and depreciation reserves. But this will also not last long and, therefore, the deadline of June 2012. BSNL had huge cash reserves of around R30,000 crore. However, last year’s...3G and broadband wireless spectrum auction cost it dear. It had to dip into it to pay for them—an exorbitant R18,500 crore. It is now left with some R5,000 crore, which would enable it to last a maximum till June next year.

There isn’t much to expect on the revenue side because, for the last three years, the company’s revenues have been stagnant at around R28,000 crore while its costs—especially wage costs—keep rising. The company’s wage bill is at R12,000 crore and is expected to rise by 10% because of the mandatory revision it has to make each year. Simply put, its wage bill constitutes around 42% of its revenue. In contrast, for private telecom operators, the wage bill is only 5-6% of their total revenues.
Whether it was former telecom minister A Raja or the current minister Kapil Sibal or their predecessors, all of them, time and again, have been mouthing...platitudes about how the company needs to turnaround and everything would be done to achieve that. In reality, with every platitude being mouthed, the company’s performance has only declined. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has also expressed his concern in the past and constituted an expert committee under the chairmanship of former telecom czar Sam Pitroda. As happens in government with regard to PSUs, a revolutionary report was prepared, presented and summarily buried with no action taken.

Recently, a new chairman and managing director was appointed who has been making the right noises, but how much of that would get translated into action and yield result is anybody’s guess, considering the company’s short history. Its mobile market share has been falling and today is below 10%. It was given 3G spectrum two years before competition but has failed to make anything out of it. It has tried to find franchisees to market...its 3G services but failed to find any so far because of the shoddy manner in which its request for proposal was drafted—it still thought BSNL was in a sellers’ market. It hired Boston Consulting Group to restructure its functioning and, according to its recommendations, did alter its functioning by creating service verticals. It today talks about hiving off its tower business to unlock value, which makes sense, though the idea has dawned a trifle late at a time when the tower space itself has become overcrowded, threatening the viability of many. Reliance Infratel and GTL have been looking at buyers for months with no success.

What really will then turnaround BSNL? Well, in the past, as is happening now, noises are again being made that the company would offer VRS, create a cooperative for the surplus employees, become more market-friendly and customer-oriented and market certain services through franchisees. However, none...of these would work, considering that time has run out for such strategies to yield desired results. Today, the gap between it and the competition had widened so much that any of these steps are bound to fail. The core of BSNL staff—the Indian Telecommunication Services personnel—are no doubt a bright lot, but have been trained and equipped for a different era, not today’s competitive telecom service market. Further, till today, they have resisted absorption into the corporation and continue to be government staff. This means that if tomorrow BSNL turns sick, the government will have to post them somewhere else or keep paying their salaries.

There’s only one way the government can save the company and that is by diluting its stake to below 51%. Considering the asset base, spectrum and network of the company, it would be a steal for any private sector company, especially since all the new...licensees who could be potential targets for M&A are tainted and under litigation and investigation.

But this is a bold move. Is the UPA government ready for it? .... FE

ITS officers are yet not wholly absorbed although they are getting the full benefit of central Govt and BSNL both. when 1 lakh below level employees are burden of BSNL , then why BSNL need these officers whose inerest is not linked with BSNL but the alarming is that they are the policy maker of BSNL, they are enjoying the benefit of BSNL but they are not linked with BSNL & they will not suffer when BSNL & its emlpoyees are suffering from the financial crisis. If these header of BSNL are not slashed from BSNL , BSNL will not take the headway of telecom. Govt. should think of it and so called well established union & association should move for the cause.

******Air India salary issue: CPI, TMC take up matter with PM

Published on Tue, Aug 02, 2011 at 15:48 |  Source : PTI
The CPI and Trinamool Congress today took up the issue of non-payment of salaries to Air India employees with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and said they have been given the assurance that dues for the past two months would be paid in the next three-four days.
CPI leader Gurudas Dasgupta, who met the Prime Minister in Parliament House over the issue, said, "In my presence, he called (Civil Aviation Minister Vayalar) Ravi who confirmed that two months wage and four months PLI have been defaulted. And within three to four days, two months salary and one month PLI would be paid".
Dasgupta, who is also the General Secretary of the AITUC, said he told the Prime Minister "it is a matter of national shame that 31,000 workers of the national carrier have not been paid wages for last two months and Productivity Linked Incentives, have been defaulted for four months."
"I have no complaint against you (PM), but that you don't act decisively. Prime Minister should act decisively and not merely as a post office. Let us know what happens. The PM wanted 24 hours from me. So I am going to meet him again at 12'O clock tomorrow", the CPI leader said.
MPs of the Trinamool Congress, the second largest constituent in the ruling UPA, also drew the government's attention towards the issue, demanding that the salaries should be paid "as quickly as possible".
Trinamool MPs, Kalyan Banerjee and Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, and SUCI's Tarun Mandal said it was a matter of concern that the Air India employees have not got their salaries for last three months.
Dastidar said party chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had asked them to bring the matter to the government's notice by raising it in the House.

"Repeated demands have been made by the employees to the management and the Government. But unfortunately, the Central Government has not paid any heed to the demand of the employees," Banerjee said.

31-08-2011:BSNL VRS Plan: DoT want VRS for 1 Lakh Employees ...news


Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has reportedly scrapped state-run telecom operator BSNL’s proposal to cut down its workforce by 21,000 citing the number as too low considering the financial burden DoT has asked BSNL to formulate a revised plan for offloading its workforce through schemes such as voluntary retirement scheme (VRS). The department which has been reviewing the performance of the loss-making public sector unit (PSU) is of the view that BSNL needs to slash its workforce by about 1,00,000, as suggested by Sam Pitroda reports stated. The move, reports added, is part of the government’s initiatives to revive the telco which is struggling to survive in the industry due to high employee cost, declining revenues and low tariffs. The PSU has an employee base of 2,80,000. According to reports, BSNL’s sister concern MTNL, has asked DoT to clear a VRS plan that would be offered to over 15,000 employees out of the total 45,000. After the company’s board gave it nod to the plan, MTNL had asked DoT to help them financially – Rs. 2,000-3,000 crore to implement the retirement scheme. The state-run telco has an employee base of about 45,000. Reports further added that BSNL will have to make a one time payment of about Rs. 40 – 50 bn for its VRS scheme, for which DoT will support it financially.
The need to reduce workforce was first mooted by Sam Pitroda, advisor to the Prime Minister on infrastructure. The Board for reconstruction of public sector enterprise had also recommended that BSNL should offer VRS to its employees. However, any reduction in the workforce has been met with strong opposition from the workers’ unions but expert believe it is need of hour to retire people who are not suitable for latest technology and spare workforce to revive telecom giant BSNL, who stood from last 150 Years as.................telecom world

Freinds, we the INDIANS do believe in the democracy and we have our well established democracy in the country. So where is the problem that brought a simpler one to be the " SAVIOUR Of NATION" and how the man started to fight ? Now the politicians are saying to save the legal parliamentary democracy when a random shout in country began, So you ask the so called politician " Why the politician did not raise the demand before the " ANNA " raise the voice of " LOKPAL"? Do they missed the point ? Do they failed to feel the pulse of the people of " INDIA" when the INDIAN are feeling insecured with corruption ? Scam after scams are found but no politicians are found first to say before " ANNA" about  " RTI " & "LOKPAL". We are shamed with the polity by which our voice like " ANNA" is clogged by an irresponsible comments. freinds democracy is established when the people are asking the accountability of the Govt, peoples are taking part in the applicability of the Govt. We think parliamentrian should happy with this. how unfortunate we are that they are charging " ANNA" as corrupt one? Freinds ask them " Why ANNA needed to get hunger strike for a right of people like 'RTI ACT'? All it is because the good polity is being overlapped by the bad polity. "ANNA" is not saying to bypass parliamentary system. Ask the policians who are seemed to be more sensitive to parliament rather than Country" Do ANNA intend to introduce the bill in Parliament or in RAMLILA MAIDAN ? Such participation in law making by the people of a country enriched democracy & enlighten the glory of parliamentry system but als we can not forget the credibility of them who disrepute by the 'BUNDLES OF NOTE' in Parliament. Yet we hope the good politician are very sensitive to country and they will recognise the need of the hour &  will appreciate peoples like ANNA.........
