Federation News from Delhi

The board meeting that was to be held on 8th of this month with all federations has been deferred to 24th of this month. It is to note that Board has not invited us to this meeting as our federation is pending recognition. So I urge all the unit secretaries/office bearers to act on this issue and collect as many Annexure II from the DDOs.

In zones where the Administrative Officers are willing to join our Federation they are welcome. As such our cadre has depleted after cadre restructuring and with many issues which are vital to our careers are pending in Board and Courts and time and again we have to meet the Board and take our submissions/demands to them for implementation.If our word is to be heard in the Board our immediate step is to get it recognised and you are now aware as to what is to be done now...Issues like pay commission, upgraded scales of pay to STAs, DOS and A.Os and particularly pay hike for TA grade is our immediate task.

Addressing the Board to expedite our disputes in court at the earliest and so many other related issues also require boards attention.so please think over and act immediately...The Andhra Pradesh SLP is posted for hearing in January, first week 2009.

With best wishes,

Inter-Commissionerate Transfers

Dear Friends,

As a matter of interest, the attached file is being forwarded to all of you so as to enable the Federation in pursuing this issue vigorously and getting a favourable direction from the Board.The issue involved though complex is very simple to solve. As we all are aware, Inter Commissionerate Transfers were allowed in CBEC till 19.02.2004 after which it was banned and "Transfer on Deputation" allowed to the aggrieved officers on temporary basis.However, a permanent solution to this issue is desired.

The recruitment Rules of STA, TA, Inspector etc., are under litigation and there cannot be any amendment done for the time being. It is a settled law that executive instructions cannot override a statutory rule in force. As per the RRs there is a Special Provision for absorption of officers belonging to the same cadre but working in different commissionerates. As per the said Rule, Inter Commissionerate Transfer ought to be allowed. Moreover as per the RR, there are only two means of recruitment i.e. Direct, Promotion or either of them. However, absorption is the third and the Board has to be made aware of it.

I have a simple request to all of you reading this message. Kindly approach your Commissioner, copy and past the matter on your local letter head and get the same forwarded to the Board for Consideration duly recommending the same positively. We all are a witness to the tremendous benefit drawn by our cadre owing to the ICT cases which was in existence in the pre-restructured grades of UDC and Inspector. Hope to see some proposals reaching the Board office by the end of this week.

Thanks and Regards,

Thomas Mony,

Secretary General.
