Sub: Cadre Restructuring of CBEC.
Sir,
It is submitted with due regards that the Cadre restructuring of CBEC is pending with DOPT as on date. It has already been approved twice by Finance Minister as well as Expenditure. Our officers, i.e., Central Excise Superintendents, are forced to retire in PB2 every month without further promotion after entry into the job as Inspector. The position of stagnation is the worst as not only the general candidates but also the reserved category candidates are retiring only after one promotion in the service career of 35-40 years while their common entry counterparts are getting 5/6 promotions retiring in PB4. The reason of their counterparts reaching the level of Commissioner in sister concern of Income Tax and Joint Secretary in Central Secretariat Service (CSS) is timely cadre restructurings while it is only IInd in CBEC pending even in its 7th year despite of the guidelines for the same to be happened after every 5 years.
2. Not only it, the most of group ‘B’ gazetted officers in the Central as well as State governments are promoted to a Senior Time Scale post while Central Excise Superintendents are promoted (if any) merely to a Junior Time Scale post. They are also forced to work under their extreme juniors of Customs belonging to same cadre recruited through same examination in CBEC under same Department of Revenue and same Ministry of Finance. The single cadre of Inspector has been trifurcated into 3 categories in absolutely unjustifiable manner, i.e., Inspector (Central Excise & Land Customs), P.O. (Inspector Customs) & Examiner (Inspector Customs) to be promoted as Superintendent (Central Excise & Land Customs), Superintendent (Customs) & Appraiser (Customs) respectively re-merging at group ‘A’ entry level. This places the Inspector (Central Excise & Land Customs) 20 years behind the Examiner (Inspector Customs) due to the discriminatory rate of promotion and faulty recruitment rules.
3. IRS officers have been granted parity with their common entry counterparts. But no such parity has been considered for Central Excise Superintendents & Inspectors which is very well possible by adopting the measures like time bound promotions/scales, notional promotions, creation of supernumerary posts, creation of separate service, direct promotion to higher post/s, upgradation of posts, in-situ promotions (requiring no creation of posts) or any other specific measure/s including batch to batch non-functional financial upgradation at par with CSS.   
4. In view of above, it is requested that the cadre restructuring of CBEC may kindly be approved on immediate basis and some specific measures may also be devised independent of cadre restructuring for acutely stagnated Central Excise Superintendents & Inspectors to grant them parity with their common entry counterparts. Your kind & immediate response is very much requested particularly keeping in view the extraordinarily acute stagnation of Central Excise Superintendents, hundreds of whom are retiring every month without promotion. 
Thanking you,
                                                                                                                                                Yours faithfully,

Our officers, i.e., Central Excise Superintendents, are forced to retire in PB2 every month without further promotion after entry into the job as Inspector. Your goodself was pleased to approve it on 12.04.13 and it was expected that it would also be cleared very soon by Committee of Secretaries as well as Cabinet particularly keeping in view that the cadre restructuring of CBDT has already been cleared despite of them being far behind of the revenue target. Position of stagnation of our officers is the worst as not only general candidates but also the reserved category candidates are retiring only after one promotion in service career of 35-40 years while their common entry counterparts are getting 5/6 promotions retiring in PB4. The reason of their counterparts reaching the level of Commissioner in sister concern of CBDT and Joint Secretary in CSS is timely cadre restructurings while it is only IInd in CBEC pending even in its 7th year despite of the guidelines for the same to be happened after every 5 years.
