Section - I

1. Background

BSNL’s aim is to have multiple channels of delivery of its product and services. Apart from its own outlets (Customer Service Centers) STD/ISD PCOs were the first alternate channel for availability of its services to consumers. Later on marketing agents were appointed to sell its ITC cards. In the year 2002 BSNL appointed dealers and distributors to sell it’s post-paid and pre-paid cellular services. Franchisee policy 2004 allowed franchisees for selling all BSNL services which included cellular, basic, WLL, Internet, ITC Cards etc., instead of having separate dealers and distributors for different services. The type of services offered by the franchisees includes providing new connection in cellular, basic fixed line, WLL, Internet, value added services of cellular and basic and selling of recharge coupons and ITC cards. In addition to generating demand and meeting targets for providing services offered by BSNL, the franchisees will have to do after sales services including receiving, attending and rectifying complaints and selling add-on products.

The selection of franchisees and the control of its functioning in BSNL is to be undertaken by Telecom District Nainital. The contract of franchisee will be awarded for a period of two years from the date of agreement between franchisee and BSNL.

Sales and Distribution Policy-Need

a. To meet the objective, a comprehensive sales and distribution strategy for BSNL needs to be adopted giving

emphasis on marketing, sales, including after sales customer care. Hence this Sales and Distribution Policy 2006 has been drafted which is in super cession of existing Franchisee Policy.
