Honestly, if you are making more losses than freaking Air India then you deserved to be shut down.

As per DoT or Department of Telecom rules, BSNL is allowed to take loan only for capital expenditure. But salaries is not such an expense, hence, BSNL employees are not getting the salary.

Interestingly, BSNL has the lowest debt among all telcos, but still, their employees are being denied salaries.

BSNL has debt of Rs 13,900 crore, meanwhile Airtel has debt of Rs 1.13 lakh crore, and Vodafone has debt of Rs 1.2 lakh crore. The combined debt of Jio is Rs 2 lakh crore.

BSNL Has No Money To Pay Salaries For 1.6 Lakh Employees; Salaries Upto 6 Months Delayed

Govt. owned telecom company BSNL is in dire straits. As per reports coming in, BSNL has no money to pay salaries to its employees, and for the last 3 months, workers haven’t received any salary. This is a shame for DoT, whose responsibility is to disperse funds for BSNL.

Wow is that why my internet goes off after their office hours? No seriously, jokes apart, could they be switching off their machines after their hours are over? Since yesterday, my BSNL broadband connection works from around 10am - 5pm. And the rest of the time, the Link LED just keeps blinking and doesn't connect 🤔

The state-controlled telcos were also demanding fourth-generation or 4G spectrum to stay competitive in the market.

Is the Govt planning directly for 5G, hence avoiding the cost for 4g altogether?

 

[pothi]

No. It is an excuse to let a particular private operator to gain market share. Worst is yet to come for BSNL. Interesting days ahead for BSNL employees and BSNL users. Next two to 6 years are crucial, when 5g is expected to launch. For better 5g, private operators need strong fiber backbone that BSNL already has. BSNL may be forced to lease out fiber assets citing lack of income to pay the salaries and for other development.

If you are making more losses than Air India then I don't think it is really a conspiracy.
