Finally the long awaited Inter Circle OTP Request Transfer order issued on late evening at 2245 Hrs on 09/05/2026 giving relief to a few hundred executives as their OTP Requests are given consideration. Copy<<<>> ANNX-I <<<P1>> <<<P2>> ANNX- II to IV <<<>>
This is a long awaited OTP Request Transfer order issued after a major OTP Request on 02/05/2025 and selective OTP Requests/Modification order as on 30/06/2025, 30/09/2025 and 05/11/2025.
This order is issued by mixing OTP Requests of all wings and Cadres and this time the Promotions are not mixed in the Transfer orders and issued separately.
The exact criteria adopted in consideration of OTP Requests is not mentioned and we observe that some executives with less stay are transferred while some executives with higher stay from the same stations are not transferred.
The OTP Requests to Circles having shortage of Executives are given consideration and to Circle having excess executives seems to be given consideration on selective basis.
We have also received some issues viz. OTP Requests of some executives with less stay are given consideration and OTP Requests of some executives with higher stay/tenure are not given consideration.
Though it was informed that no long stay transfers will be issued, some long stay transfers are issued and neither long stay list was published nor are these executives given option for posting to choice Circle, as per standard procedure followed in issuing any long stay transfers.
Further, the chances of posting to a nearby Circle on long stay transfers was quite possible, but executives are transferred randomly and at faraway places and without giving any choice among available Circles.
It is seen that there is much improvement in this order as compared to earlier order, but till chances of improvement are more. We will continue to give our suggestions and feedback for further improvement and justice to left out executives.
In this mixed transfer order with majority of OTP Requests transfers, total 1018 Executives of Telecom wing are transferred and its break up is:
- 626 are Own Cost Request Transfers including 31 non-implemented orders of last year and 390 are company cost requests including 156 non-implemented orders of the last year.
- 593 are OTP Requests (From Non-Tenure Circles: 538, From tenure Circles: 08, To tenure Circles: 47),
- Long stay Transfers: 145 (Non-tenure stations:138, Tenure stations: 07)
- Non-Implemented Transfers: 186
In similar manner, the transfer of other wings are also issued viz. Account wing 69, Civil Wing: 82, Electrical wing: 68, TF 06 and One Arch are transferred under different categories but majority are own cost OTP Requests.
Important instructions issued in this transfer order:
- Executives under transfer are to be relieved within 15 days of this transfer order i.e. by 24/05/2026.
- Executives under transfer have to handover the charge in detail within seven days of this order and a signed copy of Handover Certificate is to be sent to Circle HR.
- The Circles have to provide an orientation program within seven days for executing joining at the posted Circle.
- Intra Circle Transfers are to be issued within the next 30 days and no Intra Circles thereafter except exceptional cases.
- Representations against genuine medical and immunity grounds are to be submitted within seven days of this order and it will be given consideration as per the guidelines within 15 days.
- Medical Representations received after seven days will not be entertained and hence all who have genuine grievances should immediately submit their representation with supporting documents.
- Entire procedure on medical ground representations is to be completed by Circles within 60 days period from date of this order.
- The Office Bearers of Recognised Association already granted immunity will continue to get immunity granted and will be relieved after completion of the immunity period.
- Revenue generation posts in BA/OA are to be filled in on priority.
- Restriction on filling of post of GM and above level officers by Circle Heads is again reinforced in this order. But this seems to be name sake formality as such case ofShri Tulasiraman JtGM Arch who is given illegal charge of GM HR TN Circle has been repeatedly brought to notice of BSNL Management including CMD BSNL and every time we are assured to withdraw his charge of GM HR TN, but no action is taken and he illegally is allowed to continue as illegal GM TN in violation of such repeated orders.
- Once again useless criteria of posting AGMs at SDCA HQs is reproduced and it makes clear that till management has not understood the practical working in the field units of BSNL.
We have been receiving calls from many individuals about their grievances and all such executives having genuine issues of wrong stay calculations, medical grounds, spouse ground request or any other ground justifying early OTP Request or cancellation of long stay transfers etc.
All the executives who are having genuine grievances are requested to first go through the consolidated guidelines in this order in dealing different requests and submit their representation in seven days of order i.e. at least before 18/05/2025 through proper channel with due recommendations by Circle Head and send its copy to DS/CS SNEA concerned, who will send consolidated list and representations with supporting documents.
SNEA CHQ will take all genuine left out issues of OTP Request transfers as per feedback and submission by the Circle Secretaries and individuals may represent their grievances through proper channel and send its copy to CS
For any assistance guidance on submission of representation, individuals may contact the concerned DS/CS SNEA or Shri. Arvind Pal Dahiya, JSC SNEA CHQ Mob: 9416051919, email id: sneajsc@gmail.com
