Updates
Comrades,
Best wishes for the festival of Navratri,
Durga Puja and Dussehra. May Goddess Durga brings prosperity and happiness in
your family.
Draft All India Seniority List of
Administrative Officer (AO) with effect from 01.01.2009 to 30.06.2014 has been
prepared and published in DGHRD and CBEC website (Link) for perusal of
stakeholders. It has been the result of our constant persuasion and cooperation
amongst all the Zones. We would like to thank Shri Balesh Kumar, Pr. ADG, and
other officers of DGHRD Ofice, involved in the process. We also thank Honourable
Chief Commissioner of Jaipur Zone and CCA of Mumbai-I Zone for extending their support
to this association.
Representation, if any, is to be forwarded
through respective CCA to Board within 15 days. This association requests all
the stakeholders to contact their Zonal Secretary before proceeding to Board or
for any litigation.
We will put all our effort to get the DPC for
Chief Accounts Officer (CAO), conducted at the earliest so that the officers, on
the verge of retirement, get benefit of last promotion.
We have received letter from Coordination
Section of Dept. of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, to attend Anomaly committee
meeting scheduled to be held on 10.10.2017 at Kalpavriksha, North Block, New
Delhi to settle the pay anomalies arisen out of 7th Pay Commission.
Meanwhile, we have written a letter to
Chairman, CBEC with a request to instruct all CCAs not to pressurize our
over-burdened officer with extra work load.
Long Live AICESTMOA. Jai Hind.

Mumbai meeting
Comrades,
President and I have been to
Mumbai to attend the meeting with other 12 Associations of Central Board of Indirect
Taxes and Customs (CBIC). A Co-ordination Committee (CoC) in CBIC has taken rebirth
to make a joint forum again to fight together and get the solution for the
common issues. Prima facie, it is good effort and good start to have the
concept of having all Associations under one umbrella. Unity and co-ordination
among all the associations of CBIC is need of the hour. Board is having very
negative attitude to resolve the problems of not only our association, but also for other cadres too. We tried to convince the Board to resolve our long pending
issues like disparity in pay structure and promotional prospects between two
wings of Dept. of Revenue, Negative impact of Recruitment Rules on promotions, grant
of One Time Relaxation for filling up the vacant posts etc. But due to ‘no-welfare’
attitude of Board, nothing much we could achieve for our members. We have decided to join the CoC in CBIC and through
it, we will put our couple of demands in the common ‘Charter of Demands’ to be
submitted to Board. I urge all our
members to come forward and join the local CoC, when formed, to be the part of
it. Mind it, together we can bring the change in the attitude of the Board.
The required data for the
finalisation of draft seniority list from all the zones have been received by
the Office of the DGHRD. We are hopeful of getting the draft seniority list
published before Dussehra. Once this turns to final, the process of DPC for
promotion to the grade of CAO would start.
Administrative Officer (AO) RRs
is yet to get clearance from DoPT due to some queries raised from their end.
Hence, it is going to take some more time. However, we are in touch to monitor
its progress.
One Time Relaxation on Inspector
RR and EA RR along with other issues are being monitored closely and we
strongly oppose the present form of Relaxation. The staff is facing hardship
due to shortage of manpower in Ministerial cadres and we are stressing upon
filling up of all the vacant posts immediately.
Many Zones/Units have not yet
deposited the subscriptions of members for F.Y. 2016-17 and for 2017-18 to the
All India Fund hence, it is often becomes difficult to manage the expenditure on
travels/boarding/lodging etc. while attending meeting with higher officials and
also the leaders of other recognised associations. A separate letter is being issued for the purpose and we hope the zonal leaders will take
necessary initiative to strengthen the national fund of the association.
Some Zones / Units need to go
for fresh elections for the betterment of our cadre. The process of re-election
is required to expedite and should be completed before 30.11.2017.
Thanking you.

Delhi Visit
Comrades,
Namaskar! Hope you all are doing well.
We had two meetings with hon’ble Member
(Admin), CBEC, on 3rd August 2017 and on 18th August
2017. The first one held at his chamber and the latter one with all other
associations at ‘Kalpavriksha’, the meeting hall in North block. The
appointment was granted by him for the first one and the second has been a
regular meeting with all other associations. In both the meetings we put our
grievances and represented our side with all supporting documents. Shri Ram
Lalit, shri Susheel Kumar and I attended both the meetings and
shri Prosenjit Pandey accompanied us in the former one, which lasted for about 50
minutes. Hon’ble JS (A), CBEC, Commissioner (Coord), CBEC, ADG HRM 1,CBEC,
were among all present in both the meetings.
Hon’ble Member has been very cordial and
gave patient hearing to all our points and directed concerned officers for
necessary action. The summary is given below for information of all members.
Draft All India Seniority List (AISL)of AOs
from 2009 onwards would be published soon on receipt of Regularisation date of
AO from Mumbai, Shillong and Jaipur zones. Shillong zone has already taken action and
forwarded the required report to DGHRD, it is learnt. Reports are still awaited
from Jaipur and Mumbai, for which reminder is being issued from DGHRD. It is
once again requested to the leaders of these two zones to take a little pain to
get it done at the earliest.
Draft RRs of AO is still with DoPT and hope
to get it through. Hon’ble Member said that Board is taking all necessary
actions to get it notified at the earliest. It was also asserted that Board
would give one month time to get the DPC conducted for promotion to the grade
of AO after notification of the amended RRs. Let us hope for the best.
The issue of ‘disparity with CBDT in respect
of Pay structure and Promotional prospect’ was discussed at length and Member
agreed that it should be taken care of. He asked the details once again and
directed concerned official to give him a report.
We conveyed the hon’ble Member that we
welcome the decision of Board to consider the One Time Relaxation (OTR)for
promotion to the grade of Inspector and Executive Assistant (EA), but is was
made him clear that 50% relaxation of qualifying service on the basis of new
RRs would have no meaning and there will be hardly any to get that benefit.
Rather, Board should think of filling up all vacant posts by considering OTR on
the basis of old RRs of those two grades.
The file is already on the move for counting
of past service of LDC for promotion to the grade of EA, as per our demand, and
the file is being put up for consideration in view of report received from the
various zones.
The amendment of notification of TA RR
should be effective from date of notification of the principal RRs i.e.
10.01.2014 and not from the date of notification of amendment. Hon’ble Member agreed
suomoto to the fact and ordered to put up the file in this regard.
We vehemently opposed the move of Board to
revert its own decisions, which were given, time to time, in view of Hon’ble
Supreme Court and High Court Judgement. We also opposed the move to reexamine the
letters issued by the Board, on the basis of which promotions were given in
many zones. Further, requested to issue the instruction to all CCAs, so that the zones which
did not consider promotion get it done to be at uniformity with other zones.
The chair agreed to give copy of all
clarifications to all the zones to maintain uniformity across the country.
We are going to give our detail submission
on all the issues for his perusal and further necessary action.
Our renewal of recognition copy is given
below for information to all.
Long Live AICESTMOA. Jai Hind.
Yours sincerely,
Secretary General
