BSNL has been in loss for the last three financial years. The loss has been increasing year after year and it has now reached about Rs. 8,000 crore. The main reasons for the loss are the backing out of assurances on financial issues by the DOT and the inefficiency of the top management.
In order to restore the efficiency and financial viability of BSNL the following actions by DOT and BSNL are required immediately.
1. The Access Deficit Charge (ADC), Reimbursement of Licence Fee and liberal subsidy from USO Fund should be restored or Rs.10,000 crore to be given as subsidy to BSNL per year.
2. The spectrum charges, both of 3G as well as Broadband coming to about Rs.18,000 paid by BSNL to DOT be refunded to BSNL, the incumbent operator and government company.
3. Urgent implementation of repatriation of non-opted ITS officers to DOT and immediate recruitment of required top-level management to fill up the vacancies.
4. Promotion of efficient and eligible executive officers to top management through modalities to be finalised in discussion with the associations.
5. Recruitment of Regular Mazdoors by regularising the left out casual labour engaged by DOT/BSNL for long period.
6. Regular (at least monthly) discussion between the management and unions at all levels, from Corporate to SSA, regarding the improvement of the services, fast development, procurement of equipments, financial management etc. Workers to be taken in full confidence.
7. All executives/non-executives to be given suitable training in marketing and maximum numbers engaged in that section. Incentives to be provided.
8. Wasteful expenditure to be avoided. Zero tolerance to corruption.
There can be many other good suggestions, which can also be included.
BSNL /Telecom has a great tradition in efficient service and it is property of the people. This has to be maintained efficiently and improved for the benefit to the people.
DOT,BSNL,Workers should jointly enable the PSU to provide the best service to the people.

Sir I am not so big but still I Think our service is no so good / affective because of non supply of basic equipment and correct information about the plans etc., and our people still think that they are working for DOT not for BSNL in order to improve the status of our BSNL We must contribute max efforts and the management must support for this…….
Thank you sir
Comrade really points at 1 & 2 are implemented we will be in plus so our support is always with you. point Nos 6&7 are to implemented soon atleast in SSA level as it not requires any higher approval.Major expenditure will be from unnecessary meetings like TAQ,Development meeting( this can be done online also by GM/CGM by vedeo conference, Vehicle bill, Diesel(bogus) bills, TA/DA by all, SQIC meeting which are meaningless, they can be improved by phonic conversation also, minimizing IB bills by scrutinizing unwanted bills etc, others are really best suggestions. Thanks
