Updates

Comrades,

    GST is about to take its place replacing the Central Excise and Service Tax very soon. DGHRD has already published the new name of Commissionerates and their locations zone wise. We are hopeful that our officers are going to be placed in their respective zones and there is not much shifting of the human resources. We are thankful to DGHRD to listen to our appeal. If there is any major disturbance to it, would be taken up with the appropriate forum, when reported. We would like to listen to our zonal leaders in this respect. Our continuous effort, to get our long pending issues resolved, will not be hampered in any case, in the GST regime.

    Honourable Chairperson has agreed to publish the draft All India Seniority List (AISL) of AOs with effect from 01.01.2009 for remarks/comments and further to conduct DPC for promotion to the grade of Chief Accounts Officer (CAO)(Reminder).

    The Recruitment Rules (RR) for Administrative Officers has not yet been finalized; however, we have further demanded for issuance of Executive Instruction, in the line of proposed amendment and also requested to make the RR effective from the date of change of feeder cadre. Letters have been forwarded to the honourable Chairperson in this respect. (Letter).

    It is learnt that the disparity (With CBDT) issue is being studied jointly by CBEC and CBDT officials. We hope to get a solution soon.

    The relaxation files are still with DGHRD and we are forwarding our proposal in our favour.

    We always demanded that in case of promotion uniformity should be maintained across the country. Hence whenever any order/clarification given to any zone should also be forwarded to other zones. Issue was raised during the meeting with honourable Chairperson and a reminder has been submitted (Reminder). However, we are happy to learn that Board has issued clarifications, in our favour, to some particular zones, which have been in the list of our demands. Notional effect of promotion from the date of eligibility and considering DOS vacancy for EA promotion will definitely benefit our members. We demanded to issue similar instruction to other zones too.

    We have raised the issue of counting of past service of LDC for EA promotion and to remove the idea of revert back of the officers, who were allowed to appear for promotion examination during the probation period, as it was allowed by their respective CCAs. (LDC Letter Examination Letter Pg 1, Pg 2, ).

    Continuous persuasion to get our desired result is always there and we believe that we will definitely succeed in our effort.   

    Long Live AICESTMOA. Jai Hind.

  

Wish all our members and their families a very happy Buddha Purnima. May Lord Buddha brings happiness and prosperity to your life.

Delhi Visit

Comrades,

    We have been to Delhi from 12^th April 2017 to 13^th April 2017 to meet and congratulate our new chairperson Ms. Vanaja N Sarna besides attending the meeting convened by JAC in CBEC and the Special Executive Committee meeting of our own association. The Chairperson invited this association to interact on different issues after assuming her charge as Chairperson of CBEC. During our discussion we narrated all our pending issues and emphasized that some of these have been discussed many times with her during her tenure as Member (Admin) but did not yield any positive result. Madam agreed to look into those and instructed her OSD to note down. She gave a patient hearing to us and the meeting ended with a very cordial atmosphere. She stressed upon regular meetings with local CCAs at zonal level and at National level with Board officials.

    We also greeted Shri S Ramesh, newly appointed Member (Admin) of CBEC, with a bouquet and wished him success. He assured us to listen to our issues within a couple of week from now.

    The JAC meeting was attended by Shri Ram Lalit on our behalf and he expressed our concerns about the repositioning of ministerial officers in GST regime.

    Shri Ashim Pramanick, President of our association has submitted his resignation on 27^th March 2017, quoting personal reason, to Shri Tarun Kumar Seal, Vice President. The Special meeting of AICESTMOA was convened to discuss on his resignation and also to co-opt the office bearers for the vacant posts, created due to resignation or promotion etc. The resignation of Shri Pramanick was accepted and Shri Ram Lalit has been chosen as the new president of AICESTMOA. The vacant post of Vice President is filled up by Shri Shivaji Valu of Pune Zone. Shri Prosenjit Pandey of W.B. zone, treasurer of AICESTMOA has been chosen as Asst. Secretary General. He would continue to hold the post of treasurer till the next convention. Shri Vivek Kumar is now the Organising Secretary of the association. Ms. Shashi Baje of Odisha and Shri Rajesh Yadav of Gujarat zones are now the regional Secretaries of Eastern and Western zone respectively. This arrangement will continue till the next convention of AICESTMOA is held and get its approval. We welcome all new office bearers to AICESTMOA and wish them good luck.

    We also visited other offices of CBEC and checked the progress of our issues. We requested to issue the letter for notional promotion, addressing to all the CCAs, from the date of actual vacancy as issued to a couple of zones. The issue was also raised during the meeting with Chairperson. The relaxation for EA and Inspector promotion files are with DGHRD and we requested the concerned officer to take an early decision. The delay in Publication of amended Recruitment Rules of AO and finalisation of seniority list of AOs from 2009 onwards resulted to delay in promotion to the post of AO and CAO were discussed during the meeting with chairperson of CBEC and madam instructed OSD to note down and look after the issues.

    We expressed our concern regarding the position of Ministerial Officers in GST regime to Shri Balesh Kumar, ADG HRM1 of CBEC during his visit of Kolkata and told that he hopes that there won’t be any downsizing or major shuffling of the posts. He agreed to discuss the issue in any future date in detail. 

       Long Live AICESTMOA. Jai Hind.

We are with honourable chairperson

  

Message

Comrades,

            It has always been our endeavour to convince the Board officials about our genuine demands and achieve the goal in the way of getting instruction to conduct DPC and follow the right procedure. Some CCAs follow the instruction in right spirit and some would like to get more clarifications. One such instance is the letter issued on 02.8.2016 which has helped to get promotions in many zones on the basis of RRs, existing at the time of occurrence of vacancies.

        Recently, some zones got clarifications issued by Board in respect of giving promotion on the basis of the above mentioned letter and to give compliance report. Other zones are also demanding such letter for their zones. We will take up the issue with higher officials of Board and demand for the same. 

         We will be in the national capital on 12^th and 13^th April to meet and congratulate our new chairman of CBEC, attend a JAC meeting and also have our Special Executive Committee meeting. We will be visiting Board offices to find out the status of different issues pending at different level. 

          We have learnt from sources that Relaxation files for EA and Inspector and also the file for issuance of Executive Instruction for promotion to AO are on the move. We will take up these issues to move the file faster and try to get our desired result.

          All India Seniority List of AOs from 2009 onwards have been at the final stage and stuck up for the want of some information from a couple of zones. We will talk to authorities to finalize it soon.

            Meanwhile, the minutes of the meeting held on 14.03.2017 with honourable Member (Admin), CBEC has been received at this end. (Minutes).

            Long live AICESTMOA.

                                                                                                                   Yours comradely,

                                                                                                                       

                                                                                                                  Secretary General
