Sub: Sympathetic consideration of Rule-8 cases of JTOs when Officiating JTOs are regularized:

Respected Madam,
Immediately after the notification of JTO RR, management has taken initiative to regularize the officiating JTOs as a onetime measure, giving relief to them. The training started in almost all the Circles, except Maharashtra where it is held up due to litigations. 

          In Circles like Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu etc large number of officiating JTOs are getting promoted as regular JTOs. Eventhough, the number of hands are not increasing, it is a fact that they are all becoming part of regular JTOs. 

At the same time large number of Rule -8 cases are pending from different Circles as mentioned below. Utilising the officiating JTOs on regular promotion, such Circles can start relieving JTOs under Rule 8 transfer. Most of the Circles are reluctant to help the JTOs waiting for the last 8 to 10 years or more for their transfer to home Circles citing JTO shortage. Shortage in JTO and SDE cadres are there in every Circle. So simply citing shortage, non-consideration of Rule-8 cases will demoralize the JTOs eagerly waiting for their transfer.

If your good office is not intervened, as per our report, most of the Circles will not act on it. Last time, when LICE was held, BSNLCO issued a direction to all the CGMs to consider the Rule 8 cases as much possible.

So, it is requested to issue suitable directions to the CGMs to consider the Rule-8 cases when the Officiating JTOs are getting regularized after undergoing training. Since the training is going to be completed in a couple of days in some Circles, a direction in this regard may be issued at the earliest.

With Regards,
