Sub: Request to hold single consolidated
DPC for the post of Asstt. Commissioner for the model years 2014-15 and 2015-16
including remaining vacancies of 2013-14.
Sir,
Kindly refer to the Ref. No. 90/DPC/15
Dt. 13.07.15 addressed to your goodself and various other communications made
to the administration regarding pending DPCs for the post of Asstt.
Commissioner.
2. Your kind attention is invited to
the para 2.4.1 of the DOPT OM No.
22011/5/86-Estt. D Dt. 10.03.89 as well as para 6.4.1 of the DOPT OM No. 22011/5/86-Estt. (D) Dt. 10.04.89
mandating about holding of single DPC in case of DPC not being held timely for
more than one years. No need to submit again that the concerned section of CBEC
is habitual of making terrible delay in holding the DPCs for the post of Asstt.
Commissioner. Our officers are forced to retire without promotion due to this
practice of holding delayed DPCs despite of thousands of promotional posts
being in hand.
3. It is again submitted that that the
DPCs are being delayed habitually despite of the DOPT instructions to fix the
responsibility of the concerned officer for the lapse in adherence to the
prescribed time frame in holding of DPCs under the DOPT OM No. 22011/9/98-Estt. (D) Dt. 14.12.2000. It seems that the
concerned section is having totally indifferent attitude regarding DOPT
provisions.
4. Your kind attention is also invited
to the DOPT OM No. 22011/1/2011-Estt.(D)
Dt. 23.04.15 saying that the Appointment Committee of Cabinet has viewed this
matter seriously. But very unfortunately, the matter is not being taken
seriously by the CBEC. As per the DOPT
provisions vide OM No. 22011/9/98-Estt (D) Dt. 08.09.98 reiterated in OM No.
22011/1/2011-Estt (D) Dt. 11.03.11 and 22011/1/2011-Estt (D) Dt. 13.12.13,
the DPC for a financial year should be conducted well in advance latest by the
month of January of the preceding year.
5. It is further submitted that the
chain vacancies on account of cascading effect from higher side are also
required to be included for the promotion to the post of Asstt. Commissioner as
per the DOPT OM No. 22011/9/98-Estt(D)
Dt. 06.10.99. It is clearly mentioned in this OM that the existing and
clear anticipated vacancies as well as chain vacancies on account of
retirement, promotion etc. in all the higher grades/hierarchy should be
included for the purpose of DPC.
6. As far as the amendment in RRs
is concerned, the para 3.1 of the DOPT OM No. 22011/5/86-Estt. (D) Dt. 10.04.89 also says that the holding of DPC meetings need not be delayed or postponed on the ground
that RRs for a post are being reviewed/amended. Moreover, the amended RRs are
not required to be awaited because the promotions are to be granted on ad hoc
basis.
7. It is also submitted that there
is no legal stay to conduct the said DPC.
8. If there is any problem in
calculating the exact number of vacancies (which shouldn’t be there as all
records are available with the CBEC), aconsolidatedtentative
eligibility list may be circulated to the field formations to immediately
provide the required information. If information is not provided timely, the
provisions ofDOPT OM No. 22011/9/98-Estt. (D) Dt. 14.12.2000to fix the
responsibility may be invoked. The use of tentative list is already in practice
in the Department of Revenue as the Principal Chief
Commissioner
of Income Tax, Chandigarh recently circulated the tentative eligibility list
vide letter F.No. Pr.CC/CHD/CB-1/2015-16/81-82 Dt. 01.07.15.
9. Even if due to some unavoidable
reason the information is not available in r/o retired officers, the DPC may be conducted immediately in r/o the
working officers without further delay otherwise many more officers will also
be forced to retire without promotion.
10. Giving due consideration to the
above mentioned DOPT provisions, it is requested -
i) To hold the immediate single
consolidated DPC for the years 2014-15 & 2015-16 including the remaining
vacancies of 2013-14.
ii) To fix the responsibility of the
concerned nodal officer/s and take necessary action for habitual delay in
holding the DPC.
Thanking you,
Yours
faithfully,
(RAVI
MALIK),
Secretary
General.

with the request for necessary action to:
1) The Revenue Secretary, North Block, New Delhi.
2) The Cabinet Secretary, Govt. of India, New
