BSNL Executives are being continuously denied their legitimate E2 and E3 scales for JTOs & equivalents and SDEs & equivalents respectively. They are drawing pay in lower scales viz. E1 and E2 after pay revision, lower than the E1A and E2A scales, which they were having before pay revision. And now, again, the officers and employees are being denied their legitimate and hard earned rights, in the name of bad financial health of BSNL, for which the Management, the DoT and the Government are alone to blame.'
