CAO DPC

Dear Comrades

The Cadre Restructuring has been the most-discussed and talked-about issue in 2014, so far. The landscape does not seem to have developed much since the initial circulation was made on 18.12.13. We have already conveyed the primary reaction of this association through our New Year message.

In order to get a further insight of what’s going on, on this front, we are visiting Delhi on 27/28/29 January, 2014. We will be meeting senior officers and stake our claim on various issues. Of course, as we have already expressed, that there is no reason to be euphoric and hysteric about the prospect of our Cadre in the aftermath of this Cadre Restructuring. We shall strive to achieve whatever, bits, on offer. At the same time we shall continue to pursue our basic demand on reorganization of the administrative wing (explained in our previous message).

Here it may be appreciated that various relaxation  for promotion to Inspectors and others  Gr.C posts those may be required at various zone, would only be relevant after finalization of commissionerates in each zone and allocation of post in Gr.B and Gr.C level. However, we shall register our strong demand on the basis of enshrined principle of career advancement of our cadre on par with other cadres. The dispensation granted in the earlier Cadre Re-structuring, will again be sought this time also.

Meanwhile Board has issued a letter on 15.01.2014 (click here to view) seeking APAR/ACR/VC/IC of 345 Administrative Officers (AO) for promotion to CAO, created in last Cadre Restructuring. The zone of consideration list is also been circulated (click here to view).  Since this also cover DPC of the past years, names of some retired officers will also be considered notionally. However, promotion order will not be issued for any officers who have retired on the date of issue of promotion order.

Thus no benefit will accrue to retired officers. This is very unfortunate the seniors A.O are retiring without getting their due promotion to CAO, despite availability of vacancy.

Here it may be kept in mind that names of some of the retired officers have not been included in the consideration zone even for notional consideration. They have retired even before the date on which their names get covered in the zone of consideration in a particular past year with reference to the zone of vacancy of such years. There is no point on disputing this fact as these officers would not have been promoted even if the DPC was held in time as they were not in the consideration zone. In any case the retired officers are not going to get real promotion.

Thus we should speed up our work at the zonal level and summon our all energy to send the desired Vigilance Certificate /Integrity Certificate etc from the respective zones to the board office.

On the question of promotion to A.O after the new Recruitment Rule, we will pursue this issue during our next visit.

Comradely Yours
