Dear friends,
good after noon.
1. I am getting regular calls asking about the the fate of COS meeting being said was to be held on 7th or 8th August.
Friends, no such meeting was scheduled. I am not aware of any such meeting. Perhaps, some site or some officer on face book floated this news. Actually, the file is with the Cabinet Secretary at present and we are regularly pursuing the same. He has yet to give the date for the said meeting.
2. Now, it is expected that the cadre restructuring would go through-later or sooner. But we have to keep in mind that only the cadre restructuring is insufficient to remove our stagnation. By this cadre restructuring, some more of our officers will be able to enter the group 'A' JTS level but they will never be able to attain PB4 levels like other common entry counterparts of ours. For that, some extra measures are required to be taken in serious manner. The DOPT Minister has already replied to the Chairman of SC Commission to take the measures, if the proposal on that line is sent to DOPT by the CBEC/Revenue. Our intention is not merely to get our officers entered into group 'A' but we want that our officers should easily reach PB4 levels like other counterparts. It is also well pertinent to mention that our officers including promotee Inspectors were also reaching the level of Commissioner in the remote past. As per the wordings of our previous Chairman, our Inspector reached even the level of Member in the past. The President of the IRS Association, Ms Jaswal, disclosed in one of the meetings that one of our officers promoted from the post of Sepoy also reached the level of Commissioner. If it was happening in the past and also happening to other counterparts presently, I am really unable to understand why it can't happen to us now.
Yes friends, it can happen but only by an effective, united and complete agitation forgetting all the vested interests. So, all the units, office bearers and members are again requested to be well prepared not only for the programme of 04.09.13 but also for stronger programmes in future.
3. As informed by our Delhi Unit, this unit of ours has again helped our Bhubneswar Unit by Rs. 11,500/- in r/o legal cases as committed in the Patna AEC meeting.
4. All the units are requested to clear their dues and make maximum possible donations to AIB. All the members are also requested for donating the funds to AIB. The Savings A/c No. of AIACEGEO is 90672010069746 in Syndicate Bank at Central Revenue Building, I. P. Estate, New Delhi-110002 (IFSC : SYNB0009067 and MIC : 110025073).
Love,
Ravi Malik,
