Sub: Request for appointment.
Sir,
            It is  submitted with due regards that the Central Excise Superintendents are forced to retire on a PB2 post with only single promotion in the service career of 35-40 years after joining as Inspector whereas their common entry counterparts are easily enjoying PB4 levels after getting 5-6 promotions after entry into the same level of PB2. 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, Railway Board & many others like Administrative Services, Police Services, Forest Services, Engineering Services, Foreign Services, State Services etc. to Senior Time Scale. These poor officers are also forced to work under the extreme juniors of Customs belonging to the same cadre in the same organization of CBEC. Their counterparts of the Income Tax (CBDT) and CSS under the same Department of Revenue are able to reach the post of Commissioner and Joint Secretary. The Central Excise Superintendents are also deprived of the due pay scale/pay band & grade pay and facing the worst career prospects in comparison to their analogous counterparts.  
2. They are totally demoralised and have nothing to be job-satisfied or motivated. If career prospects were disclosed in the advertisement for recruitment, these officers would have never joined this job. The rights to grow, make progress and live with dignity have been snatched from them. There is no change in the scenario regarding their career prospects despite of the repeated representations, pleadings & requests to the administration. Everybody in the corridors of power of CBEC seems to be worried only about the stature, interest & character of the IRS paying no heed to the career prospects & job-satisfaction of the actual workforce (Central Excise Superintendents & Inspectors) already collecting the government revenue always above the set targets despite of total disappointment and humiliation.
3. In view of the above, it is very much requested to kindly grant the due time as per your convenience to the Association to discuss the following points for the due redressal-
A. Immediate implementation of cadre restructuring as our officers are regularly retiring without promotion and convening of single DPC to regularise ad-hoc promotions to the post of Asstt. Commissioner in accordance with the rules existing on the date of regular DPC.
B. Scheme to improve the career prospects of Central Excise Superintendents/Inspectors independent of cadre restructuring to bring parity with common entry counterparts of CSS etc. to retire our officers also in PB-4 and non-functional time scale in PB3 instead of PB2 to Superintendents after 4 years of service like other counterparts.
C. Initial pay scale equivalent to the Grade Pay of Rs. 5400/- in PB3 to the Superintendent of Central Excise w.e.f. the date of the grant of the same to the analogous counterparts of CBI etc. along with other perks as being granted to the later ones, implementation of the CBEC circular issued vide F. No. A-26017/44/94-Ad II (A) Dt. 08.03.95 regarding arrears of pay and retrospective implementation of the pay scale revision of the Superintendents of Central Excise at par with NCB.
           D. Next promotion of Central Excise Superintendent to STS post like other group ‘B’ gazetted officers of Central as well as State Governments and qualifying services/residency periods in accordance of DOPT OM No. AB-14017/61/2008-Estt.(RR) dt. 24.03.09.
            E. Batch to batch Non Functional Financial Upgradation to the Central Excise executive officers at par with the best placed counterparts of CSS etc. on the lines of Group ‘A’ vs. IAS.
            F. Merger of group ‘B’ Executive non-gazetted and also gazetted grades under CBEC into one and counting of regular service as per F. No. A/60/13/RTI/2006-Ad.IIIB Dt. 26.05.06 of CBEC.
G. Filling-up of all posts of Asstt. Commissioner first from the Central Excise Superintendents only till all of Central Excise Superintendents of 2002 enter into group A like Appraisers and to take measures that no senior officer of Central Excise is forced to work under the junior officer of Customs belonging to same cadre.
            Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,


(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
