Comrades,

            Wish you all a merry Christmas and a very happy new year 2017.

            Our members are definitely in festive mood and enjoying the winter with family and friends. However, all is not well for this association when our Board is not responding much to our communication pertaining to some long pending issues. We have forwarded many letters, addressed to honourable Chairman and Member (Admin), CBEC, with request to grant us appointment to discuss and offer our comments on these issues but unfortunately there is no response from that end. We know that Recruitment Rules (RR) for Inspector is being amended/finalized without taking any comments from stakeholders, Whereas, RR for Administrative Officer (AO) has not been finalized even after taking comments seven months ago. The seniority list of AOs, from 2009 onwards, is yet to be published for conducting DPC for the promotion to Chief Accounts Officer (CAO). No order has been issued from Board with respect to ‘counting the length of service of ‘Sepoy’ for promotion to the grade of LDC’. Blatant disparity, in respect of pay structure and promotional prospect, still exists between the administrative wings of CBDT and CBEC.

            We have written another letter to honourable Minister of State for Finance to listen to our pathetic condition & agony and waiting to receive the response from his good office (Submission Pg1, Pg2). We are writing to honourable Chairman and Member (Admin) to resolve our issues from time to time (Appointment, AORR). Meanwhile, O/o the DGHRD has circulated another letter dated 09/11/2016 pertaining to preparation of seniority list of AO (Letter Pg1, Pg2). It is informed that reply is still awaited from some zones. Please make sure that it is forwarded as early as possible, if not already sent.

            We once again request all ministerial officers to join hands and come together to claim our veritable rights from Board. Please Keep in mind that this is the only recognised association for ministerial officers of CBEC and Board cannot ignore our justified demands. We are going to visit the Board offices in the month of January 2017 with all our pending issues.

            Do well and be healthy. Long live AICESTMOA.
