Sub: Celebrations on launch of GST.
Madam,
As your goodself knows, it is submitted with due regards that the celebrations are being made throughout the country on the launch of GST tomorrow on 01.07.17. Great congrats for the same to all concerned authorities.
2. It is further submitted that our officers underwent the process of taking and giving the training on GST. Not only it, our officers facilitated the trade enlightening them about the changes in taxation and clarifying their doubts. No need to say that we Central Excise Inspector born officers would follow every instruction, direction and order of the concerned authorities in the most disciplined and obedient manner like ever but we have nothing to celebrate in our life.
3. The two most important things in the career of any employee are pay matters and career prospects. Third one is the working conditions. But very unfortunately, we are devoid of everything despite of collecting the Govt. revenue regularly above the targets.
4. Our officers are forced to retire with single promotion in the career of more than 35 years whereas our counterparts are enjoying 5-6 promotions. In our own department of Revenue, our counterparts of Income Tax are easily attaining the levels of Addl. Commissioner and even Commissioner. Same is the position of our counterparts recruited as Examiner in our own organization of CBEC. Our inter-departmental counterparts including CSS are also easily attaining the levels of Director and Joint Secretary. We really have no complaint against them but are certainly aggrieved of not being treated at par with them. Examiner of 1984 recruited in Inspector cadre itself has already become Addl. Commissioner years ago whereas our Central Excise Inspectors of 1984 are yet to become Asstt. Commissioner. If some have become, they have been promoted merely to the temporary posts without benefit even of single paisa and also without any right for further promotion. Not only it, our officers are forced to work under the extreme juniors (Examiners) of same cadre due to the discriminatory pattern of promotions.
5. As far as the MACP Scheme is concerned, we are getting now after 30 years of service on IIIrd upgradation which we were able to get after 24 years of service under ACP Scheme on IInd upgradation. Thus, this scheme has been proved to be harmful instead of beneficial to us whereas our counterparts in states are getting two more upgradations than us under MACP Scheme.
6. Under GST, the post of state CTO (equivalent to our Superintendent or even below) will be the Assistant Commissioner in the states as evident from the enclosure depicting the position of GST employees of Andhra Pradesh state. It again means that our officers would be forced to work in a system in which their much juniors of state services will enjoy higher upgradations and thus, humiliation working under extreme juniors would continue for us under GST too.
7. It is really unfortunate that our CBEC was always unable to do anything for us whereas other departments, whether relating to Central Govt. or State Governments, are always able and capable to give everything to their employees whether relating to pay matters or career prospects or working conditions. No need to say that our officers are forced to work in the worst working conditions with the worst pay packages as well as the worst career prospects as already known very well to our own authorities.
8. Nothing has been done to improve our career prospects even after more than 3½ years despite of the recommendations of Cabinet to bring a scheme for us independent of cadre restructuring.
9. Your goodself was also pleased in the very first meeting as Chairperson to intend bringing a scheme for our officers equally benefitting the already stagnated as well as new generation officers but nothing has happen till date.
10. The general impression is that the CBEC is only for direct recruit Group A officers, by direct recruit Group A officers and of direct recruit Group A officers. Neither we have any complaint against the direct recruit Group A officers nor expect parity with them but we should at least be brought at par with our counterparts, if not better than them.
11. In view of the above, all concerned authorities including your goodself are very much requested to really do something for we poor giving us opportunity to celebrate too.
            Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
