CONGRATULATION COMRADES !!! THE UNION CABINET TODAY APPROVED THE CADRE RESTRUCTURING OF CENTRAL EXCISE & CUSTOMS DEPARTMENT!!!
Dear friends,
Namaste.
Cadre restructuring has now been approved by the cabinet resulting in the promotions of thousands of our officers to group ‘A’ which never happened in the history. Likewise, thousands of Inspectors & Ministerial officers will get promotion and the benefit will also cascade to lower side. Only a few of us were able to get entry into group ‘A’ at the fag end of career till date but now it is the historic moment for the celebrations. Thanks to all who toiled and contributed for this success of the Association. Also thanks to all of the concerned authorities including FM, Cabinet Secretary, Revenue Secretary, Expenditure Secretary, DOPT Secretary, our Chairperson & Members of CBEC, our DG & ADG of HRD alongwith their Addl. Commissioners to Asstt. Addl. Directors/Superintendents & other staff.
But this is not the final celebration. We have still to do a lot for our officers and our fight will continue until all of our officers are able to at least attain Ist stage of PB4 level. So, we have to be ready for further steps to be taken by our Association including strong & effective agitational programme at the appropriate time.
Alongwith agitational programmes & administrative efforts, we may need to take legal recourse on many of the issues. There are already at least 6 cases being pursued in the legal courts- i) parity in promotions with intra-organisational counterparts in Delhi CAT (we may also need to file the legal case regarding promotional parity, functional or non-functional, also with inter-departmental counterparts if govt doesn’t do anything in the matter in consonance of the recommendations of CRC to do something extra for group ‘B’ officers), ii) time scale in PB3 in Delhi CAT, iii) undoing of offsetting of MACP upgradation with time scale & undoing of para 8.1 in Delhi CAT (as per legal advice, we may have also to file one independent case on undoing of para 8.1 after going through the reply of the govt), iv) arrears of pay in Cuttack CAT, v) pay scale of Superintendent in Cuttack CAT and vi) arrears of pay in Jabalpur High Court filed by the then Inspectors Association. As far as the Jabalpur High Court case is concerned, our Association may have to become party in this case to expedite it because the reply of the govt has already been filed but rejoinder is still awaited to be filed. This case was posted in the month of September, 13 but didn’t come to hearing. Whatever will be the result, we have to expedite it as all of then Inspectors have now been become Superintendents and they are also keeping retired on regular basis. One of our officers, who is one individual party in this case, contacted the concerned advocate but he (advocate) didn’t respond properly saying that he would talk to the office bearer of the then Inspectors Association only. So, our role starts in the matter. Not only these cases, we may have to file some more cases including benefit of time scale to all concerned Superintendents after Ist ACP during the stint as Inspector, benefit of stepping up of pay under ACP/MACP to all concerned Superintendents, implementation of extended panel to benefit our officers, issuance of fire arm on sale basis instead of loan etc. and many more if the concerned authorities have deaf ear to our causes. We need hefty funds not only for the legal issues but also for many other miscellaneous purposes. So, all the units are requested to clear their dues including subscription & funds immediately, rather in advance also. All are requested to fund the Association maximum to their capacity. All individuals are also requested to fund the Association, so that none of our causes is defeated at least for the want of funds. If even only Rs. 5000/- per individual are funded to our Association, it will result into a very big legal fund. Everybody knows that an amount of Rs. 5000/- is merely a meagre amount per gazetted officer in the present time but this meagre amount will result into hefty legal funds, if we all take interest. Small drops will certainly accumulate into big ocean by this. And we have to make it a regular habit like making charity for ourselves.
The notification regarding cadre restructuring is now expected to be issued very soon on receipt of the minutes of the cabinet meeting by CBEC. As a result of it, the process of promotion of 2118+150 group B officers to group A will start. In addition to it, around 344 promotions will cascade from higher side. And DPC for around 149 existing vacancies of AC is already on the cards and around 125 more existing vacancies should also cascade from higher side. So friends, it is the time of celebrations for all of us. None of our senior now will retire without promotion. Moreover, the retirement vacancies against 2118 will be utilized for the promotion of promote officers only without any Direct Recruitment against these for coming 5 years. I hope that nobody will like to halt the process by adopting any legal measure in individual interest regarding cadre restructuring.
Love,
Ravi Malik.

But what happened To Inter Commissinerate transfer Of Inspector of chennai Zone . Nobody is taking care of it . There are just doing work for there personal interest .So Many Time we have approached association . There are totally defunct in chennai . I have no word to criticize them . Some of our Inspector , Despite having genuine ground like working spouse or medical ground are still suffering in Trichy Customs Commissionerate .
It is better to finalise CR implementation on up-gradation basis so that all eligible officers with 10 years of service are up graded as superintendents and so on ........Then there will not have any regional disparity and even for inspectors with ICT who are having 10 year service will also get the benefit of the present CR
congratulations on achieving this goal. But more is required to be done. one of the area is doing away with disparity between promotee and direct inspector/supdt in the matter of granting MACP. DR gets this benefit but a promotee does not on the ground that he has already got promotion(s). This is not a good ground for creating disparity resulting into junior getting more pay than his senior. This causes heartburn. Let's bring parity.
another important area relates to issuing chargesheet with jet speed and thereafter forget about finalizing the issue. as a result officers languish inasmuch as neither they are treated equally in the matter of sensitive postings, deputations, etc. This can be achieved only when duty is cast upon the authorities by setting a deadline [which is already there] and/or creating a deeming provision of acquittal.
WHY CAN'T GOVT FIX RESPONSIBILITY TO EXPEDITE VIGILANCE CASE IN A TIME BOUND MANNER? ALSO PROVIDE FOR REVERSE PENALTY FOR FAILURE. ONLY THEN RESULTS CAN BE ACHIEVED. ALTERNATIVELY, STAFFING CAN BE INCREASED AT DIRECTORATE LEVEL IF THE PRESENT STRENGTH IS NOT SUFFICIENT. LET US ASK THE AUTHORITIES TO DO INTROSPECTION. CASES PENDING FOR 4-5 YEARS IS A LONG PERIOD. WHO IS ANSWERABLE.
Thanx to all who made sincere and rigorous efforts for achieving the goal. I convey thanks on behalf of all the officers of Central Excise Division Gwalior.
please clarify whether the cr post sanctioned i.e., 2118 posts etc will be filled iommediately as one time measure or in a phased man

Good job done .
