PROPOSAL FOR MODIFIED PROMOTION POLICY AND
ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION SCHEME (ACPS) with DESIGNATION
- Submitted By -
West Bengal State Electricity Board Engineers Association (WBSEBEA)

PREAMBLE:
In exercise of power conferred by Department of Power and NES vide No. 79/PO/O/Cell-III/ 3R-
29/2006 Dated, 05/03/2008 and in pursuance of the decision of the Board of Directors of West
Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (WBSEDCL) in its meeting Dated, 06/02/2009, the
WBSEDCL Revision of Pay and Allowances Rules, 2009 (ROPA, 2009) of employees of WBSEDCL was
introduced with an effect from 1st. Day of January, 2006. Accordingly, an O.O. No. 89, dated
16.02.2009 of the Director (HR): WBSEDCL was issued on ROPA of Employees of WBSEDCL.
Though WBSBEA’s all demands were not fulfilled through ROPA, 2009 but we accepted those with a
hope that WBSEDCL management would take care all our issues on subsequent date to give proper
justice to the Engineers who are the backbone of this organisation.
Of all other resources, human resources can be the most important. With the development of
modern management, this resource was tried to make more and more effective. In the present
modern days, for any modern organisation it is the priced possession. Scientific and modern “Human
Resource Policy” as we understand is yet to be inked and adopted in our organisation. Still, we do
have some established activities to run the show. To ensure sustainable improvement of
performance of the organisation, a comprehensive and scientific “HR” policy comparable to the best
power utilities in India is a must. The policy must cover the following major areas:
Timely and quality recruitment at the induction level.
To ensure career growth of all employees, by creating required scope and maintaining a
transparent promotion policy i.e career growth management policy. This will motivate and
uphold the dignity of the employees which in turn improve the bonding between the
employees and the organisation.
To remunerate the employees properly for rendering their services.
To reassign delegation of power with extension of statutory financial limits
To adopt and adhere rotational transfer policy
To create training calendar and adherence of professional technical & management
course(s).
We have many demands to place before you in respect of Revision of Pay Structures and Allowances
and other HR & welfare policies which are already due. We are working on these issues. We are
examining the Pay structures and other benefits existing in the leading power utilities in India like
POWERGRID, BHEL, NTPC, NHPC,DVC etc. It is seen that we, the Engineers of WBSEDCL (a leading
power utility in India) are the most deprived section of employees in this organisation. Our Pay
structures & Allowances and career progression/promotional scheme are no match with the other
leading power utilities in India. So, we will place our detailed demand regarding Pay structures in
due course. But as we are facing acute stagnation problem particularly in the post of
Superintending Engineer, so we would like to address this long burning issue before you for
3
immediate solution of the problem to motivate Senior management level engineers and to uphold
their dignity for ensuring a sustainable improvement of performance of the organisation.
SHORTCOMONG OF THE EXISTING CAREER PROGRESSION SCHEME (CPS) WITH A BACKGROUND OF
EARLIER ASSURED PROMOTION SCHEME (APS).
We, the Graduate Engineers are the worst sufferer in this organisation. In WBSEB regime also we
were the most sufferer section of employees in respect of Pay packages as well as career
promotional scheme. We, the Engineers Association, as a whole, had long glorious movement and
personal sacrifice to resolve the long pending stagnation issues and career promotional issues. At
that time graduate Assistant Engineers were used to stay in the same post for more than 18 years.
Few of them were promoted to the Divisional Engineer post as per vacancy through an unscientific
interview system. Many engineers even had to complete their full length of service in the Divisional
Engineer post, particularly in the Electrical cadre. With our constant persuasion, agitation,
movement and with the intervention of the Government, the then management ultimately adopted
an “Assured Promotion Scheme(APS)” in the year 2001 with the stipulations that an Assistant
Engineer after completion of total 8(eight) years of continuous service will get promotion to the next
higher post i.e. in the post of Divisional Engineer. Similarly, an Divisional Engineer after completion
of total 16(sixteen) years of continuous service from the induction level and 8(eight) years of
continuous service in Divisional Engineer’s post will get promotion to the next higher post i.e. in the
post of Superintending Engineer. But as the stagnation of engineers were very much acute during
implementation stage of that APS and as the major section of engineers in the rank of DE (A) had
crossed 18/19 years of services at that time, so they got promoted to the Superintending Engineer
post after completion of 21(Twenty) years of total service adhering initial condition of fulfilling
3(Three) years locking period as per the then prevailing rule of that APS system. Those engineers,
now in the senior management level i. e. In the post of Superintending Engineer, got suffered at
that time by way of not getting Superintending Engineer post on the date of implementation of APS.
Rather, they got the Superintending Engineer post after completion of 21(Twenty) years of service
instead of eligibility years of 16(Sixteen) years of service due to bizarre and unscientific conception in
that APS Policy. Still those senior management level Engineers are also suffering a lot at present.
After formation of WBSEDCL in the year 2007 and subsequent implementation of ROPA, 2009, we
observed that the term APS has been replaced by CPS i.e. Career Progression Scheme keeping the
eligibility years unaltered for promotion up to the third level i.e. in Superintending Engineer post
like APS but without addressing the acute stagnation problem of engineers in particular. Situation
was worsened due to abolition of intermediate scale of pay and designations like Sr. AE, SR. DE and
DY. CE during implementation of ROPA, 2009, unlike other leading power utilities in India like
POWERGRID, BHEL, NTPC, NHPC, DVC etc. At that time we, the Engineers Association demanded to
modify the CPS with new Pay Band and Grade Pay with new designation in between Superintending
Engineer post and Additional Chief Engineer post. We may also refer to the Promotional policy of
Engineers of Govt of West Bengal, implemented in ROPA , 2009, wherein an Superintending
Engineer after completion of 1(one) year in the his post were allowed to get Pay Band : PB – 5 with
grade pay of Rs.8700/- . Ultimately, after long persuasion from our side, the then CMD: WBSEDCL &
WBSETCL principally agreed for extension of the CPS. But unfortunately, it was observed that only
Pay Band: PB-5 with a new formulated grade Pay of RS. 8100/- (which had no reference in the ROPA,
4
2009 of WBSEDCL) without any designation was allowed to the class-I employees after completion of
total 25(Twenty five) years of continuous service from the induction level, subject to completion of
9(Nine) years of continuous service in the post of Superintending Engineer or equivalent level. So,
acute stagnation particularly in the Engineering cadre was going on and it is still continuing.
REASONS BEHIND THE DEMAND FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF “ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION
SCHEME (ACPS) WITH NEW DESIGNATION” WITH EFFECT FROM 01.04.2009.
1. There is an acute stagnation that exists particularly in the Engineering cadre in the post of
Superintending Engineer.
2. Where Engineers are the main backbone of the company’s business in power sector, non-
technical officers in HR&A cadre and F&A cadre are getting quicker promotion. The situation
as was existing in the erstwhile WBSEB regime is still continuing at the present.
3. At present when Engineers are getting promotion (as per policy, one third of the
interviewers only get promotion through interview system) to the post of Additional Chief
Engineer from the post of Superintending Engineer after completion of total 28/29 years
of service, on the other hand officers from HR&A cadre and F&A cadre are getting the
equivalent rank after completion of 18/19 years of total service. That means non-technical
officers are getting the equivalent post of Additional Chief Engineer at least 10(Ten) years
earlier than the Engineers which is an unfortunate stigma of this glorious organisation
lasting for the long time. It is seen from the very beginning that the pivotal role of the
Engineering Service was not given due cognizance while deciding the career progression
scheme.
4. Even after the bifurcation of WBSEB in to two companies namely WBSEDCL and WBSETCL,
still there exists the glaring disparities between the career value of Engineer officers and the
non-technical officers which are very much frustrating and demoralizing to the senior
management level Engineers.
5. We have worked out our position in the post of Superintending Engineer i.e. total length of
services, no. of Engineers stagnated in this post and from the table below it can be seen
how the acute stagnation is there in the Engineering cadre :

6. The above Stagnation of Engineers is due to wrong HR Policy of the organisation as well as
thinking of wrong concept while implementing Promotional/Career progression Policy. We have
thoroughly examined the HR Policies and promotional policies adopted in other leading power
utilities in India like POWERGRID, BHEL, NTPC, DVC, NHPC etc. and the organisation wise pictures

--- From the above tables it is seen that there are 8(eight) stages of grade i.e. promotional post
from Assistant Engineer to Chief Engineer or equivalent level post with different Pay Scale/Pay
Band in POWERGRID, NHPC & DVC. Similarly there are 9(nine) stages of grade i.e. promotional
post from Assistant Engineer to Chief Engineer or equivalent level post with different Pay
Scale/Pay Band in BHEL and 10(Ten) stages of grade i.e. promotional post from Assistant Engineer
to Chief Engineer or equivalent level post with different Pay Scale/Pay Band in NTPC. Whereas in
WBSEDCL there are only 5(Five) stages of grade i.e. promotional post from Assistant Engineer to
Chief Engineer or equivalent level post with different Pay Scale/Pay Band. That means, compared
to other leading power utilities in India, WBSEDCL are having short of 3(Three) to 5(Five) stages of
promotional post which is obviously the main reason for inviting suffocating condition in the total
promotional system and has created acute stagnation, particularly in Graduate engineering cadre.
13
OUR PROPOSAL :
To get rid of this suffocating condition of acute stagnation particularly for the Graduated Engineers
of this organisation, We, the West Bengal State Electricity Board Engineers Association proposes
the following modification of the present promotional Policy/Career Progression Scheme as a
immediate solution of the problem subject to formulation of detailed “Time Bound Career
Management Policy” for the Engineers/Executives of this organisation for kind consideration of the
management of WBSEDCL/WBSETCL

CONCLUSION:
With the untiring effort of the Engineers in particular and the employees of the
organisation, both WBSEDCL & WBSETCL have achieved progressively substantial profit and
also trying to provide quality services, which is an unique and excellent example of character
and determination in the INDIAN POWER SECTOR. After unbundling of erstwhile WBSEB and
enforcement of Electricity Act 2003, WBSEDCL and WBSETCL had formed. M/S PWC was
appointed as Consultant for restructuring of the organisation. One of the key considerations
in the re-design of the organisation was to encourage performance driven culture &
motivation among the employees. But PWC was silent on this issue while recommending
their suggestions for restructuring which is very much unfortunate. Though they took many
references from the other leading power utilities in India while designing the organisation
structure and policies for introduction in our organisation, but astonishingly, were silent
regarding Career progress of the Employees of this organisation. However, the Engineers of
this organisation took the challenges to cope up with the reform in spite of many odds and
rendered their best. For which WBSEDCL has got the 4th. India Energy Summit Award’2010
and India–Tech Excellence Award’2010. WBSETCL also got best Transmission System
Availability Award with Gold Shield for the year 2007-08 from ministry of Power, Govt. of
India and Power Line Award’ 2012 for Best Performance in Transmission in India. Still
Engineers are trying their best to take new challenges in the present complex market in the
power business adopting new technologies to give quality power and services to their
consumers. We have seen that the present management is also thinking to bring innovative
ideas and allowing new technology in the organisation for survival in this present
competitive market and is rethinking of some changes in respect of organisation structures,
manpower planning and policies to eradicate all existing lacunas in the system as pointed
out be WBSEBEA time to time. We also hope that the present management will give due
cognizance of our legitimate demand, examining the service condition of the engineers in
the other similar organisation and will definitely resolve our long pending stagnation issues
by way of immediate implementation of MODIFIED PROMOTIONAL POLICY AND ASSURED
CAREER PROGRESSION SCHEME(ACPS) as proposed by us for assured carrier growth of
engineers and maintaining a transparent promotion policy for upholding the dignity of
engineers and to get rid of the suffocating condition of acute stagnation of senior level
Engineers for sustainable improvement of this organisation which may improve better
bonding between Engineers and the organization.
