Subject: Deferment From: Ravi Malik Thu, 28 Mar '13 10:38p
Dear friends,
Good evening.
Both of the Associations (Superintendents and Inspectors) were called
by the Board today. First meeting was held with the Member (P&V)
alongwith DG & ADG of HRD to request the Associations to
defer/withdraw the programme. The Associations said that both would sit
together before giving any final reply. After it, both Associations sat
together and discussed all ‘if & buts’ and decided to defer the
programme for the time being as a combined decision. Then again, both
sat with Member (P&V) and further with the Chairperson.
Chairperson was of the views that we don’t know how much revenue we
would lose by our strike or how much we gain by attending the office but
at least this is the time to stand in support of FM to give him the due
message to get our work done from him without any adamant attitude. We
were intimated by both that the Cadre restructuring file is already on
the table of FM after clearance by RS. They assured that the same would
be pursued with him and, in all probabilities, a positive decision by
him is very much expected after his return from abroad. The Board and RS
have recommended the revival of the 4896 posts of AC/DC which were
scaled down to 3600 during the 1.3.12 meeting between the then FM and
DOPT Minister. After clearance by the FM, the file will go to the
DOPT/cadre review committee. They further assured that the FM would also
be pursued to get the same cleared by DOPT/cadre review committee by
using his influence. It was also clarified by the top brass that the
need to send it again to the Expenditure will also expectedly be covered
in FM’s clearance. They also expected that the cadre restructuring of
both, CBEC & CBDT, would be cleared together by the cabinet.
As
regards other demands of the Association, it was assured that all of the
issues would be dealt with priority now onward. DG, HRD was directed to
write to the UPSC and pursue the matter for holding of the DPC for
promotion to the existing vacancies of Asstt. Commissioner at the
earliest. The concerned DS was also directed to immediately issue the
letter regarding not to offset ACP benefit with time scale. He was also
directed to take necessary action on the Board letter issued under the
signature of Sh. Dharmvir Gupta for payment of arrears to our officers
(then Inspectors) since 1986 at par with the Inspectors of CBI and IB.
He was also directed to put up the letter sent by the Expenditure in
regard of anti-dating of the pay scale of the Superintendents. It was
also assured that the action on the other issues as discussed in the
meeting of 31.1.13 would also be taken and a further meeting would be
held soon before expiry of 3 months.
Accordingly, both the
Associations took the decision to defer the programme of 29-31.3.13 for
the time being. As far as the programmes of 12.4.13 (to march to the
residence of FM in uniform) and 30.4.13 (mass resignations) are
concerned, the same stand as it is if no further change happens in the
situation.
The Association appreciates and thanks all of its units
and members for the all united and strong message given by them to the
concerned authorities. All are requested to kindly keep the morale and
spirit ever high and be prepared for every future programme, if all of
our grievances are not redressed within due time. Some may not be happy
with this deferment and some other may be satisfied & happy
considering it a mature step as per the circumstances. Despite of the
possible diverse ideologies, all are requested to be ‘all united’ to
give them the ‘strongest’ message in future too. The actual aim to mount
the required pressure on them was fulfilled in a very remarkable
manner, all are thanked very much to show the required spirit despite of
the ‘acute time constraint’. All of us, who were active for the cause
of cadre, really deserve ‘high kudos’.
Love,
Ravi.

This is the nth time the association/federation calls for a protest and based only on the assurances of the members/chairman/chairperson,withdraws the same. Repeated action of this nature will go to show that the Assn. is a toothless snake which can only make noise but cant bite and can easily passified with music. Before calling for drastic action from the members like mass resignation, the action proposed like staying away during the year end would have given the members the confidence to believe that if Assn/Fedn calls for some type of protest, then it means some protest in real sense and not any joke.
Under these circumstances, how do you expect the grassroot members to lay down their resignation on 30.04.2013.
We would like to know any minutes are there for the meetings held. Any written agreement signed? How to ensure the claims of the Asson. and acceptance and assurances of the Board mentioned in the SG letter are true, according to the Board. What is the assurance it will not be disputed by the Board later?
It is no surprise that the agitation program was called off by the greatest of the putative humbuggers. The Board is again successful with their usual lullaby of empty promises to calm down the crying child. We will have to go through the pain for few more months and years till we retire. Till such time let us call ourselves pillars, posts, walls, arches and toilets of the department. Who is going to bother about us? What are we going to achieve by marching in uniform to the residence of FM? Mass resignation is another bullshit. Let us not get ourselves fooled again.
