Sub: Promoting all the Superintendents
who have completed 1.5 times of qualifying service on the lines of CSS.
Madam,
Kindly
refer to the minutes drawn against point No. 31 of the meeting held with your
goodself on 31.01.13 issued vide No.C.30013/6/2012-Ad.IV.A. Dt. 15.02.13 of
CBEC. It is submitted with due regards that the
decision on this point has also unfortunately been deviated as usual merely to
divert & dilute the issue in very tricky manner in the name of
regularisation. No action has been taken on the issue till date despite of
being agreed in the meeting of 15.03.12. Your goodself was also pleased to agree to
it in the meetings of 02.11.12 and 31.01.13 but nothing has been done till
date.
2. It is further submitted that
the regularisation work has already been delayed tremendously particularly
keeping in view that the CBEC asked the time only upto October, 12 from the Hon’ble Supreme Court to complete it.
Our officers are retiring without promotion on regular basis due to the want of
the said regularisation. Therefore, serious and immediate steps may kindly be
taken to complete the regularisation work at its earliest.
3. If the officers completing 1.5
times of qualifying service can’t be promoted functionally due to any reason,
they may kindly be promoted on in-situ basis for the time being on the lines of
CSS where all the Section Officers (equivalent to our Superintendent)
completing 1.5 times of qualifying service were promoted to the post of Under
Secretary (equivalent to our Deputy Commissioner). In-situ promotions will also
require no expenditure (as all of such Superintendents are already drawing a
salary more than the Asstt. Commissioner with a grade pay of Rs. 5400/-) or
creation of posts.
4. In view of the above, it is
again requested that the serious steps may kindly be taken on the immediate
basis to expedite the issue. It will give a bit solace to our officers (retiring
without promotion) independent of cadre restructuring and bearing no
Expenditure.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.

Dt. 11.06.13
IMMEDIATE
To,
Ms. Shobha L. Chary,
Member (P&V), CBEC,
North Block, New Delhi.
Sub: Upgradation.
Madam,
Kindly
refer to the minutes drawn against point No. 32 of the meeting held with your
goodself on 31.01.13 issued vide No.C.30013/6/2012-Ad.IV.A. Dt. 15.02.13 of
CBEC. It is submitted with due regards that the
decision on this point has also unfortunately been deviated as usual merely to
divert & dilute the issue in very tricky manner referring Acts and
recruitment rules. Your goodself was very well pleased to
agree to the point in the meetings of 02.11.12 and 31.01.13 but nothing has
been done till date except rejecting the issue in the minutes. It is really not understandable how the
point has not been accepted in the minutes despite of being agreed in the
meetings.
2. It is further submitted that
the problem of defining change of official duties with the change of
designation may be solved by granting the in-situ promotions for the time
being. As far as the problem of requirement of 4 years of service as Asstt.
Commissioner for the promotion to the post of Deputy Commissioner is concerned,
the same may be solved by making the scheme effective with a retrospective date
by 4 years.
3. Moreover, the problem may be
solved in more pragmatic manner by granting the promotion to our group ‘B’
gazetted officers directly to the post of Deputy Commissioner based on the
precedent of promoting the group ‘B’ gazetted officers directly to a STS post
at many places in the Central government and at all places in State
governments. Not only in CSS but also in Administrative Services, Police Services,
Forest Services, Rajya Sabha Secretariat, Central Secretariat Stenographers Service
(CSSS), Airforce Headquarters Service (AFHQ-Civil job), Engineering Services,
Railway Services, Central Public Works Department (CPWD), State Services etc., the
group ‘B’ gazetted officers are being directly promoted to a STS post and also
given seniority benefit in group ‘A’ at many places in lieu of service rendered
by them in group ‘B’. For example, State Service officers enter into IAS in a
grade pay of Rs. 6600/- with 4 years of seniority benefit while the Central
Excise Superintendents are unable to enter IRS in a grade pay of Rs. 5400/-
even after serving for 35-40 years and retire at same level.
4. It
is also well pertinent to submit that 80% of the group ‘B’
gazetted officers have already been upgraded to group ‘A’ in Railways. The 80% of group ‘B’ gazetted officers of
Indian Accounts & Audit stream were also upgraded to the grade of Rs.
8000-13500/-. In CBI and IB also, even all group ‘B’ gazetted officers
(analogous counterparts of our Superintendents) were upgraded to group ‘A’ with
the pay scale of Rs. 8000-13500/-. Even in the same Department of Revenue, all
Chief Enforcement Officers (analogous counterparts of our Superintendents) were
upgraded to the post of Asstt. Director with the pay scale of Rs. 8000-13500/-.
So, there should not be any problem in upgrading our Superintendents to the
higher posts.
5. Moreover, the upgradation
of the Superintendents already drawing the grade pay of Rs. 5400/- to the post
of Asstt. Commissioner would be
expenditure neutral. It will also have a negligible expenditure to upgrade
the Superintendents already drawing the said grade pay for 4 years to the post
of Deputy Commissioner because many of such officers are already drawing a
grade pay of Rs. 6600/- on account of IIIrd MACP upgradation.
6. However as far as the Acts and
recruitment rules are concerned as referred in the minutes, the same may also
be changed on requirement, if the concerned authorities are really serious for
us and have honest intention as well as will power.
7. It is also not out of place to
mention that the CBEC has itself taken the following decisions in the Board
meeting of 12.01.11-
i) to promote the Superintendents
completing 20 years of service after joining as Inspector to the post of Asstt.
Commissioner on in-situ basis and
ii) to promote the
Superintendents completing 25 years of service after joining as Inspector to
the post of Deputy Commissioner on in-situ basis.
8. In view of the above, it is
again requested that the serious steps may kindly be taken on the immediate basis
to expedite the issue. It will give a bit solace to our officers (retiring
without promotion) independent of cadre restructuring and bearing no/minimal
Expenditure.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
