Pune, the 24th January, 2012.
Dear Members,
The Association has been continuously pursuing the demand for upgradation of the Pay Scales of Administrative officers and Deputy Office Superintendents. However, the demands have not been accepted so far. Whereas, it has now transpired that the Income Tax Gazetted Officers Association had filed a case before the Hon'ble Tribunal for upgradation of the payscales of Inspectors and Income Tax officers seeking parity with similarly placed cadres and have got a favourable verdict. The copy of the judgement can be accessed by clicking here.
It is time for us to follow the path of litigation, as the path of pursuasion has failed and have not yielded any result so far. However, we can succeed, only if there is constant support and monitoring of the case. All the members may send in their views and suggestions, as the Association is likely to go ahead with filing of a common case on the matter.
Yours sincerely,
Thomas Mony,
Secretary General
