🛑 18 Years Without Promotion = Systemic Denial 🛑
Despite @prasarbharati’s claim of “continuous efforts,” the truth is stark:
👉 Not a single engineer recruited after 2007 has been promoted in the last 18 years.
Instead of implementing the Hon’ble CAT Delhi’s order (OA 360/2023, dated 06.08.2024)—which directed promotions within 4 weeks—PB & @MIB_India hide behind excuses of “mock DPCs” and “data collection exercises.”
⚠️ Mock exercises ≠ Real promotions.
⚠️ Delays ≠ Compliance.
⚠️ Excuses ≠ Justice.
Every day of delay is another blow to morale and the very backbone of India’s public broadcaster is being weakened.
We demand accountability and immediate implementation of CAT’s directions.
📢 Stop the excuses. Start the promotions.

7. #BlackDay 5 Oct 2025 – Justice for PB Employees
Recognize APBEE & Employee Representation: Despite representing the vast majority of PB’s engineering cadre, the Association of Prasar Bharati Engineering Employees (APBEE) remains unrecognized. APBEE meets the criteria under the CCS (Recognition of Service Associations) Rules, 1993 – with membership well above the required 35% – yet PB management has excluded it from official recognition processes. This denial silences our collective voice. We demand immediate recognition of APBEE (and similar associations) so employees have formal negotiating power. Additionally, PB employees seek representation on the Prasar Bharati Board itself. The Prasar Bharati Act should be amended to include two staff representatives on the Board. Having employee voices at the decision-making table is essential for transparency, accountability, and justice within the organization.

Restore CGHS, Insurance, Pension, Housing:
PB recruits after 2007 have been deprived of fundamental welfare benefits that their counterparts still enjoy. They have no access to CGHS for quality healthcare, no CGEGIS coverage for financial security, no assured family pension, and no eligibility for GPRA housing — benefits fully available to “deemed-deputation” employees.
This unjust disparity leaves our families vulnerable and violates the spirit of equality in public service. We demand restoration of all such benefits — equal healthcare, insurance, pension security, and housing rights — for every PB employee, ending this two-tier system within the same organization.

5 अक्टूबर 2007 वह तारीख है जिसने प्रसार भारती के कर्मचारियों के साथ भेदभाव और अन्याय की शुरुआत की। इससे पहले प्रसार भारती संशोधन अधिनियम, 2012 तक, सभी कर्मचारियों को समान सुविधाएँ जैसे CGHS, CGEGIS, और Central Pool Accommodation बराबर मिलती थीं।आज इस दिन को हम #BlackDayOfPBEmployees के रूप में मनाते हैं, ताकि इस अन्याय के खिलाफ आवाज़ उठाई जा सके और प्रसार भारती के सभी कर्मचारियों के लिए समान अधिकार और न्याय सुनिश्चित किया जा सके।

Before the Prasar Bharati Amendment Act, 2011, all employees—whether recruited directly by Prasar Bharati/SSC or on deemed deputation—enjoyed equal benefits. Our salaries were paid securely from the Consolidated Fund of India (CFI) as a Grant-in-Aid through the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB).
We had:
CGHS medical coverage for quality healthcare
CGEGIS group insurance for financial security
GPRA housing under Central Pool accommodation
Pension, gratuity, and all standard service benefits
Common sense demands that with time, employee benefits, salaries, and social security should strengthen — not vanish.
Yet, in a shocking reversal, everything we once took for granted was systematically revoked for employees recruited after 5 October 2007, in the name of “autonomous body” status.
Post-2007 recruits lost CGHS & CGEGIS gradually after the 2012 Amendment, fully withdrawn by 2020.
Pension rights and family pensions denied to deceased employees’ families.
GPRA housing benefits removed, forcing employees to pay exorbitant market rents in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and other metros.
Promotions blocked, leaving new recruits stagnating at Grade Pay ₹4200/₹2400 for nearly two decades.

💔 No Family Pension for Prasar Bharti Employees
Late Jyoti Prakash Trivedi (DD News) died fighting cancer, denied Medical treatment and family pension due to the 5 October 2007 cutoff date.
Late Ankur Saxena (HPT Bundi) and Late Rahul Deshmukh (DDK Bhopal) also passed away; their families left destitute without terminal benefits.
Instead of compassion, MIB and PB dragged widows through court battles, denying the very social security promised by our Constitution.

Salary Diverted from CFI to IEBR: Our salaries were once drawn from the Consolidated Fund of India (CFI), ensuring stable, government-backed pay. After the 2007 cutoff, new PB recruits’ salaries were shifted to Prasar Bharati’s Internal Extra Budgetary Resources (IEBR), meaning they rely on the broadcaster’s own revenue. This move has destabilized our financial security – salaries now depend on fluctuating internal funds instead of guaranteed budget support. In fact, funding shortfalls have forced PB to dip into reserves to pay staff in the past. No employee should fear delayed or uncertain pay for serving the nation. We insist on financial stability and equal treatment in salary funding.

Prasar Bharti employees who gave the best years of their life to public broadcasting are not worthy of even one promotion in two decades, clear judicial direction can be kept in cold storage while files “move in circles” Ministry and PB is ready to fight its own employees in contempt proceedings rather than grant them their rightful promotions.
This is not governance. This is institutional harassment.
We remind the Ministry & Prasar Bharati:
⚖️ Articles 14 & 16 of the Constitution guarantee equality in service matters.
📜 Once posts have vested in PB, dividing “deemed deputationists” and “PB recruits” is ultra vires, illegal, and discriminatory.
⏳ Employees have already waited 18+ years—every single day of further delay is nothing short of cruelty.
👉 We demand: Implement promotions immediately, as per the CAT Delhi order dated 06.08.2024.
Stop hiding behind artificial barriers. Stop wasting money of Prasar Bharati employees and taxpayer money fighting contempt cases. Stop killing the morale of engineers who serve 24x7 in national interest.
Enough is enough. Promotions delayed are promotions denied.
📢 Start promotions NOW.

The “Separation of Posts” Excuse Is Manufactured 🛑
All AIR/DD posts were transferred to Prasar Bharati effective 01.04.2000 under Section 11 of the Prasar Bharati Act, eliminating dual cadres within PB.
Now, promotions are stalled by dividing employees into “deemed-deputationists” and “PB recruits.” This is:
• Artificial — same establishment, hierarchy, duties.
• Discriminatory — same work, different rights.
• Ultra vires — contrary to the Act post-transfer.
If an EA/Technician performs identical work, why separate streams for promotions, freezing one for 18 years? This violates Articles 14 & 16 and service-law fairness.
One organization. One establishment. One promotion ladder.
Implement promotions as per CAT’s directions.
📢 Stop excuses. Start promotions.
