REPORT OF OUR DELHI VISIT FROM 04.04.2016 TO 07.04.2016

Dear Comrades,

     

    In continuation to my earlier message, I would like to share the following about my visit to Delhi, along with Shri Ashim Pramanick, President, and Shri Ram Lalit, Liaison Secretary during 05^th Apr 2016 to 07^th Apr 2016.

DPC for CAO promotion:    Commendable work has been done by Shri V Guru Kumar and Shri P Reddy of Hyderabad unit to sort out pending VC/IC cases by communicating to different zones and brought down the number of pending cases to around 40. Presently, the pending cases are mostly from Lucknow and Bhubaneshwar zone. We have interacted with our leaders there, who have been putting all out efforts to forward the documents. Hope the file for conducting DPC will be put up soon.

One time Relaxation / promotion to AO, Inspector: The RRs for the post of AO is on the pipeline and the draft RR is already put up in the CBEC website (Click Here to see). The qualifying service for the promotion is kept as five years and for which the total service in the grade pay of Rs. 4200/- is kept as we demanded.

   During our conversation with Joint Secretary (Admin) and Deputy Secretary (Ad-IIIA), it reveals that doubts are not clear on the issue of One Time Relaxation in the post of Inspector. We had detail discussion with the present Deputy Secretary, regarding One time Relaxation to the posts of AO, Inspector, STA & TA, who has assumed charge in December 2015, on this issue. We tried to convince him as to why one time relaxation is required for these posts. The file for OTR of inspector is presently on his table.

    Both the JS(A) and the DS have inclined to the fact that the posts created as a result of cadre restructuring may be filled up with the existing RRs as is being done in the case of direct recruitment. A submission to this effect has been done for issuing clarification against the Board’s order dated 17.9.2015, so that the promotion can be given in different zones and the scan copy of our submission dated 06.04.2016 is posted below:

Withdrawal/Amendment of RR of EA: Our demand for withdrawal of RR for EA is not being entertained by the Board and they held the DoPT responsible, for not accepting the saving clause. It is understood, that we need to go to the higher official and accordingly putting the submission to MoS, Finance. The affected TAs may have to go to CAT to have their legitimate rights to have protection from the new RR. Discussions were held with the members of Delhi unit on this front and it is felt that we need to have a strong Delhi zonal association for this purpose. Some members have come forward to form the unit with all ministerial officers, which would take shape very soon, it is believed.

Counting of length of service rendered in the post of Sepoy for LDC/TA promotion: The counting of service rendered as Sepoy, before merger of the posts of Sepoy and Havaldar, are being considered by the Board as demanded by us. The file, learnt to have been sent to DoPT. We are hopeful of getting the positive result in near future.

Similar pay structure with CBDT and HQ Organisation:  As you are aware that a CoC has been formed with all the associations of CBDT and CBEC to have better and similar pay structure with HQ organisation and CBDT and also to materialize the demand of this cadre to the 7^th Pay Commission. Our President is in constant touch with the CoC leadership to move ahead with it.

    Looking forward for your cooperation and support in future days. We need to strengthen ourselves to fight for our right. 

Yours Comradely,

MESSAGE OF DELHI VISIT FROM 05.04.2016 TO 07.04.2016

MESSAGE 

Dear Comrades,

          The President and myself had been to Delhi during the last week.  We were joined by Shri Ram Lalit, Liaison Secretary at Delhi.  We took stalk of the status of various issues and pursued them at the concerned levels of CBEC.  The issues are as under:

1.    Much delayed promotion to Chief Accounts Officer (CAO).

2.    One Time Relaxation for promotion to Administrative Officer, Inspector & Senior Tax Assistant.

3.    Promotion against newly created posts on the basis of the existing Recruitment Rules.

4.    Counting of the length of service of Sepoy as qualifying service in the post of Havaldar for the purpose of promotion of LDC to the post of TA.

5.    Notification of the Recruitment Rules of Executive Assistant (EA) at variance with that of CBDT.

6.    Recruitment Rules and Seniority List of Administrative Officer.

7.    Revision of Pay and assignment of up-graded Pay structure in the wake of implementation of 7^th Pay Commission.

The developments on certain issues were positive, whereas, on certain other issues it was not so bright.  We followed up everything and met the Senior Officers to expedite them.  Details are being placed in our subsequent message.

On organizational front we decided to firm up our ties with CoC.  Though we could not take part in the CoC meeting held on 28.03.2016 for an unavoidable reasons, our President was in constant touch with the CoC leadership.  It was felt that issues relating to up-gradation of Pay can be better pursued from a bigger platform like CoC  (Minutes of the CoC meeting held on 28.03.2016 is linked herewith).

We also finally took a call to go for judicial redressal on the disparity of the Recruitment Rules of Executive Assistant with that of CBDT.  Shri Ram Lalit along with some Comrades of Delhi Unit will finalize the netegrity in due time and as early as possible.

I am sure that you will be keen to know on the developments to your career advancement.  But right now I don’t have the finished product for you on my way back from Delhi.  But we will take all practicable and possible steps.

     Looking forward to interact you through my next message.  

Yours Comradely,

                   11.04.16
