Meetings with Board Officials:
Secretary General, Mr. G Samdani Khan along with Assistant
Secretary General, Shri Shankar Kumar Saha and Shri Suman Sarkar from Kolkata, Assistant
Secretary General, Shri Ram Lalit from Chandigarh and Organizing Secretary,
Shri Vikas Kumar Gupta from Ahmedabad had been in Delhi from 08 Jun to 11 Jun
2015, to pursue various issues. Appointments
were sought from Hon’ble Chairman, Hon’ble Member (P&V) & JS (Adm.) of CBEC
on the following agenda points and other miscellaneous issues:
Gist of the discussions
is given as below:
1. DPC
for promotion to the grade to Chief Accounts Officer (CAO) from Administrative
Officer (AO) for the vacancy years 2013-14, & 2014-15:
Since there has been a dispute
arisen in the Seniority List of AOs, where 37 names have been reported to be omitted
in the present updated Seniority List. The office of DGHRD was rigorously pursued to take
necessary action to correct the situation (Click here to see our submission).
Accordingly a letter was issued on the very same day vide letter under
F.No.8/B/78/HRD (HRM)/2015/ 2807 dated 09.06.2015 (Click here to see the Board letter dated 09.06.15). This
Association requested to conduct the DPC at the very earliest by exploring all
options. A submission has been put forward by this association to the concerned
Authority for due consideration. It has been assured that the matter will be
looked into on priority basis.
2. One
time relaxation in Recruitment Rules of Inspector, Stenographer, STA & TA
due to Cadre Restructuring:
Issue of grant of one time relaxation,
in the existing RR for promotion to the grade of Inspector, STA and TA, has
been taken up with the Deputy Secretary and Under Secretary of AD-IIIA/B. They
have been apprised of the situation, which will badly affect the working
environment, due to shortfall of manpower in every cadre, if the relaxation is
not granted (Click here to see our submission). They were apparently impressed and positive action is
expected.
3. Re-designation of the
posts of STA & DOS as Executive Assistant:
The confusion created among the field
formations due to issue of Board’s Letter dated 15.04.2015 was once again
brought to the notice of the Board and request was made to issue a
clarification to the Commissionerates. A submission has also been made on this
issue (Click here to see the submission).
4. Amendment/Rectification
in RR of Tax Assistant, notified under GSR.12 (E) dated 10.01.2014 (Ad.IIB):
The combined service of LDC and Head
Havalder for counting the qualifying service for promotion to Tax Assistant,
notified in the recently published Recruitment Rule of Tax Assistant, has been not
in order as pointed out many a times in the past, has been explained to
the concerned officers. It has been requested to amend the RR be issued in near
future, where the word ‘Head Havalder’ will be replaced by the word ‘Havalder’ (Click here to see our submission).
We also pursued to our earlier
demands to incorporate a "Retention Clause" in the new Recruitment Rules of
Inspector and Executive Assistant.
It is also requested to incorporate
a clause in the upcoming Recruitment Rules, which will ascertain that while
counting the qualifying service for promotion to next higher grade, the total
service rendered in the same ‘Grade Pay’ will be considered,
e.g. for AO promotion, the service rendered in the grade of STA and DOS will be
counted as qualifying service.
Meeting with Hon’ble
Member (P&V) on 11.06.15:
Members of the Association had a meeting with Hon'ble Member (P&V), CBEC, Ms. Vanaja N Sarna on 11.06.2015 in presence of the
Deputy/Under Secretaries of AD-IIA/B, AD-IIIA/B and AD-IV.
Madam wanted to know if this was the only Association for the
Ministerial Cadre. It was clarified to her that it was the only Association of
Central Excise and Service Tax Ministerial Officers (Click here to see the intimation letter of new Executive Committee). She said that she had gone through all the
issues, which were projected as Agenda Points for the meeting and accordingly
instructed the concerned officers to put the files before her. The members were
informed that a reply will definitely be given shortly about the status of the
ongoing issues. Meetings ended with cordiality.
Other than the Agenda issues we also submitted a
separate representation for a special drive for recruitment of Tax Assistants (Click here to see our submission).
Yours Comradely,
Sd/-
(G. Samdani Khan)
Secretary General
