After the membership verification in BSNL,many comrades are asking how many seats will be allotted to each union according to the proportionate representation?

As per the BSNL Recognition of Non-Executicves’ Unions and representation in the Council Rules, 2012, only those unions which get a minimum of 7% of the total votes in the membership verification ar eligible for allocation of seat/s in the council. The 7% is taken as minimum for one seat on the basis of 100 divided by 14 seats ( ie. 7.28 %). Since FNTO has received only 6.89% in the verification, it is not eligible for any seat.

The 14 seats in councils should now be allocated between BSNLEU and NFTE on the basis of calculation as illustrated in the  Recognition Rules. Accordingly the calculation will be as follows:

% of votes secured in verification     BSNLEU  48.6%    NFTE  30.28%

Inter-se ratio of votes                      BSNLEU  61.61%  NFTE  38.38%

No. of clear seats                             BSNLEU   8           NFTE   5 seats

Balanace % of votes                         BSNLEU   5.61%   NFTE    3.38%

Total Seats inthe councils                  BSNLEU   9           NFTE    5

Accordingly BSNLEU will get 9 seats and NFTE 5.
