Dear friends,
Good morning.
The copy of the notice
served upon the concerned authorities is posted hereunder which is
self-explanatory. In Delhi Zone, the officers will gather before the residence
of Member (P&V), Chairperson & Revenue Secretary on the specified
dates. In other zones, the officers will gather before the residence of the
respective Commissioner/Chief Commissioner. A format is also posted here
under which is to be carried by every
officer in his/her hands and presented to the concerned authority.
Next dates to gather
before the residence of MOS & FM will be communicated very soon for Delhi
Zone officers. The officers of other zones will again gather before the
residence of the respective Commissioner/Chief Commissioner on these dates
carrying the said formats in the hands to present to the concerned authority.
It is again reiterated
that a complete, united and effective programme without any fearing/vested
interest is the only key for redressal of our grievances. We all only have to
be serious for our programme, none else will rescue us. Our aim is not to
retire our officers as AC but it is to enter into PB4 like other counterparts.
All of the units are
requested to immediately serve the due notice to respective Cadre Control Chief
Commissioner/Commisioner and be ready for next programmes.
Love,
Ravi Malik

Gathering before the residences of the authorities under Satyagraha.
Sir,
Kindly refer to the Ref. No. 93/A/12 Dt.

of the Association.
2. It is again submitted
with due regards that nothing is left to be happy in the life of the Central
Excise Superintendents in relation of career, pay or any other service matter.
Despite of total demoralisation, disappointment, job dissatisfaction,
demotivation & frustration, the revenue targets are regularly being
achieved above the set goals by the sincere efforts of these officers. Under
the present circumstances, these officers are forced to retire at a PB2 post
after only one promotion in the service career after joining as Inspector
while their common entry counterparts are easily enjoying PB4 levels after
getting 5-6 promotions. The Central Excise Superintendents are getting
promotion (if any) merely to Junior Time Scale while their counterparts of
CPWD, CSS, CSSS, AFHQS, Rajya Sabha Secretariat& many others like Administrative Services, Police Services, Forest Services,
Engineering Services, State Services etc. to Senior Time Scale. The employee
grievance redressal mechanism has totally failed as the authorities have
no time to hold meetings with the staffside under this mechanism. These poor
officers are also forced to work under the extreme juniors of Customs
belonging to the same cadre. If career prospects were disclosed at the time of
the recruitment, these officers would have never joined this job.
3. It seems that nobody is worried about this
actual workforce of CBEC. The direct IRS officers have been ensured upto 9
promotions to upgrade them within the standard residency periods prescribed by
DOPT by creating the posts at Apex, HAG+ etc. levels in the higher scales even
without availability of the eligible officers but no measures are being taken
for the Central Excise Superintendents & Inspectors to promote/upgrade them
within the standard residency periods prescribed by DOPT. Their counterparts of
Income Tax (CBDT) and the Assistants of CSS under the same Department of
Revenue are able to reach the post of Commissioner and Joint Secretary. Many
other counterparts of them are also reaching the PB4 levels. The Central Excise
Inspector, whether direct or promotee, was also reaching the level of
Commissioner or above in the remote past but the things have been distorted now
in such a way in the CBEC that he/she is forced to retire merely on the post of
Superintendent after one promotion barring 1%. The CBEC is even unable to conduct
the DPC for promotions from group B to group A at prescribed intervals for this
1%. No seriousness is being shown to redress any grievance and also to
implement the cadre restructuring already notified more than two months ago.
4. In view of the above, the
Central Excise Superintendents will gather peacefully in symbolic manner before
the residences of the authoritiesthroughout India to wish them “good morning
and request to do something to enter them (Central Excise Superintendents) PB4
like their counterparts”under Satyagraha programme as per the following
schedule-
i) Before the residence of the Member (P&V) of CBEC on 09.03.14.
ii) Before the residence of the Chairperson of CBEC on16.03.14.
iii) Before the residence of the Revenue Secretary on 22.03.14.
The above programmes will be observed by the Delhi Central Excise Zone
officers.
At the other Central Excise Zones, the officers will gather before the
residence of respective Commissioner/Chief Commissioner.
5. As next steps; the programmes
will be observed before the residences
of the Minister of State (Revenue) and yourself, for which the dates will
be intimated in the due course.
Thanking
you,
Yours faithfully,
Encl: Charter of demands.
