CENGO INDIA.
The postings made in our blog post CENGO INDIA are being reproduced frequently in some other blog posts/web sites/ face book etc, though we have no objection for such reproductions ( as it where it is basis)exactly, however , our members are having a feeling that our AIACEGEO is having more than one blog posts.But we want to make it clear that our AIACEGEO is having only one blog post in the name and style CENGO INDIA, which is being maintained since 2008 by our Association. A detailed clarificatory note on the demands raised by us is furnished below  for information of our members-
1.   Our Demand-
Grade Pay of Rs.5400 in PB-3 to all Superintendents of Central Excise w.e.f 01.01.2006 and Time scale in PB-3 on completion of 4 years of service as Superintendent:
Clarification-
The high powered committee recommended that our duties and responsibilities are comparable with the post of DySP/CBI. The DY SP/CBI Recruitment Rules considers that the post of Superintendent of Central Excise is an analogous post to the post of Dy SP/CBI, hence not only we have demanded to award the pay scale of DY SP/CBI to us, but also we have filed one CAT case on this score to award the pay GP/pay scale granted to Dy SP/CBI  to us and the said case  is still  pending for decision. If the GP of the post of Superintendent will be 5400 in PB-3 automatically the time scale will be granted in PB-3 only.
  1. OUR DEMAND-Stagnation to be reduced to less than 4 years for induction to Group-A in STS (DC) Grade Directly.
    Clarification-In several departments like CPWD, Railways ,CSS etc. There is a provision for direct promotion to STS posts( for example SO is being promoted to Under Secretary) . Hence we should be provided with  such benefit. If it will be allowed to promote us directly  to STS posts,automatically appropriate  AC posts will be up graded to  DC posts. 
    3.  OUR DEMAND-
    3rd MACP & 2nd MACP should be Grade Pay Rs. 7600 in PB-3 & 6600 in PB-3 respectively.

    4. OUR DEMAND.
Parity in matter of career prospects of (Group-B) Inspector along with Examiner of Customs and other counter parts.
Clarification-
 Necessary resolution on such subject has already been adopted in our AC/AEC meetings. Proper representations have been submitted and thereafter an OA has been filed in Principal Bench of CAT on such issue, which is pending for decision. This will also solve the problem of regional disparity in promotions.

50% of Dearness allowance should be merged with basic pay .
Clarification-
In consonance with the demands of  Confederations,  other Associations and Federations, we had raised   continuously  for constitution of 7th CPC and Govt duly considering our demand have decided to constitute 7th CPC. But as all of you know it very well that  the recommendations of 7th CPC will be operative w.e.f 01.01.2016, hence if 50% DA will not be merged with basic,then  we can not get any  benefit on or before 31.12.2015, therefore we have joined with others and raise demand on such issue.
