AICESTMOA wishes all its members and families a very happy DUSSEHRA. May this festival bring joy and happiness for everyone.

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 7^th 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.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Yours comradely,
