VISIT TO NEW DELHI FROM 22.04.2015 TO 24.04.2015

Dear Comrades,





Myself along with G. Samdani Khan, Organizing Secretary and other Comrades from West Bengal, Hyderabad, New Delhi and Punjab have been on the move over the last three days visiting the various formations of the Board (CBEC).  We summoned our all energy to pursue various issues, facing the well being of our members across the country.

During our visit, we met Member (P&V) and had detailed discussions with the Deputy Secretaries and Under Secretaries of Ad.IIA/IIIA/IIIB/IV on the following issues:-
(i)                 Relaxation in the existing RR.
(ii)               Framing of new RR.
(iii)              Promotion to CAO.
(iv)              Relaxation in the RR of AO.
(v)               Amendment in the RR of TA.
We have also submitted several representations which are linked with the message.
(i)   Relaxation in the existing RR:
The Association appreciates the cry of our members for relaxation in various form in the RR of Inspector for facilitations of promotions. But the unfortunate part is that replies to Board’s letter dated 09.02.2015 is wanting from many zones even after two and half months.  Basic data about availabilities of vacancies and proposals from the Chief Commissioners were called for.  In absence of the same, the proposals from the Board could not be firmed up.  It is expected that a reminder letter will be issued shortly and the zonal leaders make it a point to pursue with their zonal administration to send the desired report to the Board at the earliest.

It is also to be kept in mind that DoPT is not inclined to provide any relief in the old RR since the new one is already under consideration.  We need to get our act together to impress the Authority in this regard.  I hope the leadership will discuss the issue at length and take a call in the coming All India convention at Hyderabad to be held on 16.05.2015 (Saturday).

This Association requested to consider the following relaxations vide our submissions dated 23.04.2015 (CLICK HERE TO SEE):

(a) Relaxation in age and height restriction.
(b) Reduction in the length of qualifying service under the provision of clause 12 (c) from the present 10 years of regular service in the grade of TA to 05 years.
(c) Relaxation in the length of regular service of Senior Tax Assistant (STA) from 02 years to 01 year under clause 12 (b), having total service of 05 years including the service in the grade of Tax Assistant.
(ii)   Framing of new RR:
The RR of Inspector, Executive Assistant (EA) and Stenographer Grade-I are under active consideration at various levels.  We believe that some relief can only be provided if the “Retention Clause” is incorporated in the new RR.  These, we have been pursuing for quite some time.  However DoPT has to agree for that.  We have submitted yet another representation on the said subject (CLICK HERE TO SEE) and also discussed with the concerned officers.  I think that there is no room for complacency and the Hyderabad convention should deliberate the ways and means to achieve the same being of so much of vital importance for the future of the cadre.
(iii)   Promotion to CAO:
Despite our best efforts all necessary records are yet to be received by the Board as on 24.04.2015.   Some information are still wanting for 11 officers (CLICK HERE TO SEE Page-1 &Page-2).  Our Comrades from West Bengal, Delhi and Hyderabad zone have come forward to pursue the issue.  It is not possible to give any tentative deadline at this stage.   However the best efforts are on.
(iv)  Relaxation in the RR of AO:
      Board’s communication dated 15.04.2015 regarding re-designation of posts of Deputy Office Superintendent (DOS) and Senior Tax Assistant (STA) has created a great deal of confusion in various zones.  Decision of the government to re-designate such posts was taken in December, 2013.  It is not clear as to what prompted the Board to convey the said decision after one and half years, since it was initially conveyed on 18.12.2013.  Issue was appropriately taken up (CLICK HERE TO SEE).  It was pointed out that such re-designated post of Executive Assistant (EA) will only take effect from the date of notification of new RR.  It was also requested to fill up the vacant posts of Administrative Officer (AO) by relaxing the existing RR of AO.  The detail exercise is required to stake a stronger claim on the subject.
      I request All India Zonal leaders to provide the following information through mail at my E-mail Id  – pramanik.ashim4@gmail.com.

Name of Zone
No. of vacancies in the grade of A.O. as on 01.04.15
No. of DOS having completed 05 years of regular service as on 01.04.15
No. of DOS having completed 04 years of regular service as on 01.04.15
No. of DOS having completed 03 years of regular service as on 01.04.15








Also, requested to come to Hyderabad convention along with the above data.
(v)   Amendment in the RR of TA:
      We have also followed up the desired amendment in the RR of TA (CLICK HERE TO SEE 1st Letter & 2nd Letter).

7th CPC

          As you aware that we have already given submission to 7th CPC.  We visited the office of 7th CPC in person and sought an appointment with them.  We also submitted the hard copy of our representation and met the officials.  It was assumed that appointment will be given to us with the Commission in their good office where sufficient time will be provided.

        May I request our members to come and deliberate at Hyderabad at length, so that we can take up all the issues appropriately before 7th CPC.

       Before I conclude this message I once again request the representatives of all the zones to attend the Hyderabad convention scheduled on 16th May, 2015.  Kindly keep in touch with the following Comrades:

                    G. Samdani Khan           - Mob. No. 09441695866
                    Shri V Gurukumar         - Mob. No. 09848047782                   


                    Thanking you,
Yours Comradely,

Sd/-
(Ashim Pramanick)
President
