Respected Sir,
Subject:
7th Central Pay Commission – early settlement of long pending
Departmental issues -request regarding.
Kindly refer to our
earlier submission dated 2nd May, 2016 on the above subject (copy
enclosed).
This
is for your kind information that the resentment in the entire Gr. B, C and
promotee Gr. A officers & the members of the staff side of the CBDT &
CBEC had compelled the joint forum of the Co-ordinating Committee in the Department
of Revenue to convene a meeting on 24th September,2016 in Kolkata
and unanimously opined that the Department of Revenue is very much reluctant to
attend the genuine grievances of its employees working in the field formations.
Members present in the ibid meeting also raised their concern to the fact that the
Departmental Council Meeting under JCM scheme has not been taking place since
2005 and the employees of the Department of Revenue had expressed their
discontent and frustration for the absence of any proper grievance-redressal
machinery for presenting the just demands of its officers/officials.
In
this context, the said meeting has decided to request your goodself to
redress the following Charter of Demands.
CHARTER OF DEMANDS

To
ensure Minimum five up-gradations to all officers in uniform Promotional
Hierarchy across all departments/Ministries in Govt. of India.
b) To settle the pay anomalies &
cadre structure of Havilder & Head Havilder of CBEC with similar cadre of
IB/CBI/Other Departments. Accordingly, Grade
Pay of Havaldar should be Rs. 2400/- in place of Rs. 2000/-.
c) To Settle the pay anomalies of
Inspector (GP of Rs. 4800/- instead of Rs. 4600/-) & Income Tax
Officer/Superintendent (GP of Rs. 5400/- in PB3 instead of Rs. 4800/-) of
Revenue Department with the same Grades/Cadres of IB/CBI/Other Departments.
d) To bring in an identical pay
structure & promotional hierarchy of the administrative wing in CBDT &
CBEC which should also be at par with Hqrs. Organization i.e. Central
Secretariat Office as mentioned in 7th CPC recommendations.

Accounts Department and the Tax Assistants in Revenue Department and UDCs of
other Central Govt. Departments, which have all along been in the same pay

which has not been taking place for the last 11 years and settle the demands in
an amicable manner, especially the anomalies which have arisen from the
recommendations of the 7th CPC. It was also decided to hold the

of the Press.

January, 2017 Day long Dharna programme will be observed.

mentioned programme of action, if no settlement is reached, the Federations/Associations
would be constrained to call upon its members for organisational action
including cessation of work by taking mass casual leave in February, 2017, when
the Hon’ble Finance Minister rises to present the annual budget in the Parliament.
We hope to have an early favorable
action form your goodself.
