UPDATE ON THE MEETING WITH CBEC CHAIRMAN ON 18.01.2011

Chairman, CBEC convened a meeting of the representatives of all the recognized association on 18.01.2011 at 4 PM. Member (P&V), DG (HRD), ADG (HRD) and other officials from HRD were present. The HRD made a presentation on the main points raised by associations and the response of the administration to it. The issues were categorized as those relating to cadre restructuring being considered favourably; not relating to cadre restructuring being considered favourably and relating to cadre restructuring but not being considered favourably. The major issues that have a bearing on our cadre and discussed in the meeting are the following. 
1.    Vacancies arising out of CR should be filled up by promotion – Accepted and also considers to extend it beyond one year.
2.    Creation of separate service for promotion of Group B Executive officers – Under consideration independent of CR
3.    Promotion of Group B gazetted executive officers directly to STS – Under formulation independent of CR
4.    DR quota in Inspector cadre to be reduced – Under consideration independent of CR
5.    Residency period for promotion from Inspector/PO/EO grade should be common to all three cadres – RR would be amended suitably.
6.    All Inspectors who have completed more than 10 years of service should be promoted as Superintendent – To the extent possible allocation would be done to achieve this end.
7.      In those zones where no new executive commissionerates have been sanctioned, the normative allocation of staff may render some staff surplus and hence the allocation of posts to audit ccmmissionerates in these zones should be over and above the existing strength – It would be ensured that no staff strength in any grade would be rendered surplus and efforts would be made to bring parity in the rate of promotion among zones.
8.      Bringing the promotional level of Inspector/PO/EO on par and revising the ratio for promotion to AC level before CR – Matter sub judice and revision under active consideration/parity under examination separately.
The Chairman asked the associations to prefer representation if any before 27th of January so that Board can finalize their proposal and send it to IFU/Expenditure by mid February. Chairman also announced that an in situ scheme for promotion from Inspector to Superintendent and from Superintendent to AC is in the pipeline.

I recollect that one of our comrades was elated to see the reciprocal greeting of CBEC Chairman. He was also expressing his optimism. But, what has happened now?

CBEC will accede to our demands, if only the same are not detrimental to the interests of the Examiners and Appraisers. CBEC is nothing but the extended arm of the Federation of Appraisers. CBEC will not allow the Inspectors of Central Excise to grow so as to have controlling power on the direct recruit IRS officers.

Why certain proposals are to be dealt independent of CR? Is it not the ploy to dilute the matter and bury the issue forever? What has happened to the High Power Committee Report? What has happened to Bharadwaj Committee report? What has happened to the recommendation of CBEC and CBDT for pay parity of the Inspectors of Central Excise with that of CBI?

CBEC says that the matter relating to the ratio for promotion to AC level is sub judice. Do you know the fact that CBEC pleaded before the Supreme Court requesting for ONE YEAR TIME to do the simple arithmetic calculation of fixing the ratio, even though HRD recommended for 15/18 for Supdts of CE (currently 12/18), 2/18 for Supdts of Customs (currently 2/18)and 1/18 for Appraisers of Customs(currently 4/18)? Are you able to see the bonanza currently enjoyed by the invading appraisers? It is 4/18 as agaist their actual entitlement of 1/18. That means, enjoyment of the benefits to the extent of 400% of their entitlement!!!!!

Let us celebrate the Excise day. Let us enjoy with family members the free food offered by the Department on the Excise day. Let us happily do the protocol work. Let us perform all the Honorary functions very happily. Let us wear the Uniform very happily, which is not prescribed at all.

Let us continue to salute the junior most invaders from Customs. Let us continue to listen to the music of Shri. PV. Raju in praise of the Association leadership!!!

Dear Rajaguru Sir,
Very well said...I see a Leadership crisis among group B officers for association cause.... rationality appears an unknown virtue for the cadre...Selfishness and greed have taken the front seat.. Is that not irresponsibility on the part of Kerala association to be part of association on the one hand and resist combined seniority? Common good goes for a six!!!

CBEC is a clssic example of cadre mismanagement and visionless and weak inefficient leadership...All strange anomaly has happened to the cadre from all quarters..be it delayed promotion or regional disparities or seniors of the same cadre pushed to a position saluting the juniors.. Yet shamelessly time in and time out we pat ourselves for the good work(?).. 5400 GP to ACP Inspectors of 4 years is yet another anomaly testifying for the management skills of the top brass... Will any one tell me who owns responsibility for this mis management.. does it hurt anyone's conscience at all..whether cadre restructuring proved to be a useful tool to correct these anomalies..whether we require cadre restructuring at all... and why do we have committees? The association should fight towards fixing the responsibilities on CBEC top brass instead of tea parties.. It is a comedy that chairman wants more representations from the associations and more comical is the associations burning the oil preparing them.. And we all dont fail to hail the retiring CBEC leaders ... this goes on and on i guess...any bet?

Absolutely correct. Infact the leadership crisis is not because of the lack of leaders it is just because only third grade people are acting as leaders. Talent doesnt want to come to the picture as a young recruit i have decided to quit the department.
Sepoy, LDC, Stenographer, Udc, Data entry operator all become inspector. then what will be the state of affairs.
Untill direct recruitment is increased and tough promotional exams for promotion is brought about no body can expect anything except despair and disappointment.

You are right friend I also feel the same pinch as you. Nothing is left as executive powers but just clerk cum inspectors.
Do away with this stupid promotional policy where a sepoy is also retiring as superintendent and Direct inspector too as a superintendent. And make inspector promotion tough as in Incometax dept.
Let the clerks be clerks and Inspectors be inspectors.

abey sab kaam band karo aur petition file karo supreme court mein. just stop the work. Rajasthan mein Gurjaron ne Aarakshan le liya to kya tum promotion nahi le sakte. 24 february ko aamaran anshan par baith jao. Kaam karo bilkul band. Pranab Mukherji ko saamne aane par majboor kardo.

Dear Comrades,
PL HAVE A LOOK AT THE WAY THE CADRE RESTRUCTURING IS TAKING PLACE IN CBDT. SEE HOW TWO EYES OF THE FINANCE MINISTRY ARE FUNCTIONING TOWARDS WELFARE OF THE STAFF. THE CBDT OFFICIALLY ISSUES A NOTIFICATION CONSTITUTING A COMMITTEE FOR CADRE RESTRUCTURING COMPRISING OF CCITS, CITS, ADDL CITS, JCITS AND ONE REPRESENTATIVE EACH FROM IRS ASSOCIATION, ITOS AND ITEFS. IS THE CBEC NAIVE TO THIS. DO THEY NOT HAVE AN EYE TO SEE THIS. WAS THE INSPECTORS AND SUPDT'S ASSOCIATION BLIND WHEN CBDT CONSTITUTED THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THIS COMMITTEE WAY BACK IN 2008. WHY THE ASSOCIATIONS CANNOT POINT OUT THIS BLATANT DISCRIMINATION TO THE FINANCE MINISTER. LOOK THE WAY CBDT FUNCTIONS ... ONLINE FIXED RECHARGE OF RS.400 TO EVERY T.A. INSPECTOR,ITO AND MORE TO THE LEVEL OF COMMISSIONERS LIKE BLACKBERRY PHONES. ONE CALL FOR A WALK OUT AGAINST THE USURPING OF 1% INCENTIVE SCHEME BY THE TOP BRASS IN CBDT AND NEXT DAY ORDERS ARE PLACED FOR ISSUE OF LAPTOPS TO EVERY ITO IN CBDT. IS THE CBEC BLIND FOLDED. IS OUR ASSOCIATION SLEEPING. IN MUMBAI, CBDT HAS NEGOTIATED WITH HOSPITALS LIKE LEELAVATI FOR COMPLETE CHECK UP FOR ALL ITS EMPLOYEES AND ENROLLED THE NAMES OF THE STAFF. IS CBEC SLEEPING AND IS OUR ASSOCIATION SLEEPING. ARE WE SO NAIVE THAT WE CANNOT OBSERVE SUCH BLATANT DISCRIMINATION AT THE HANDS OF CBEC. WHEN WILL WE WAKE UP. PERHAPS THE ASSOCIATIONS HAVE BECOME KUMBAKARNAS AND WOULD LIKE TO WAKE UP WHEN EVERYTHING FLOWS OVER AND SUBMERGED.

let us stop these all and start to file a case in CAT or Supreme court, wherever it be. Among all the direct recruit inspectors there are so many capable of doing this, plz. come forward and challenge these unjustice to the central excise inspectors.
