Ms. Vanaja Sarna,
Chairperson, CBEC/CBIC,
North Block, New Delhi.
Sub: Constitution of a Task Force for improving career progression of recent batches of IRS (C&CE) officers-reg.
Madam,
Kindly refer to the Office Order No. 134 / 2017 issued vide F. No. A-12025/01/2017-Ad.II Dt. 03.08.17 on the above subject.
            2. Your kind attention is invited with due regards to the discussions held with your goodself during the very first meeting after becoming yourself the Chairperson of the CBEC. During the discussions, you were pleased to assure the Association bringing a scheme regarding career prospects of the officers of Central Excise joining as Inspector saying that this scheme would equally benefit the existing officers as well as the new entrants. Accordingly, the Association was very hopeful and all officers joining as Central Excise Inspector were looking towards you. It is also worth to mention that the Cabinet also recommended to bring a scheme to remove the stagnation of these officers independent of cadre restructuring.
3. But nothing has happened till date for these poor officers. On the other side, a task force has been formed to look into the career progression of direct recruit group ‘A’ IRS officers who are already having excellent career prospects. No need to say that it is a matter to be more delighted for already delighted direct recruit IRS officers. The Association was also expecting such a step from CBEC/CBIC under your worthy Chairpersonship for the officers working as Central Excise/CGST Inspectors, Superintendents and promotee group ‘A’ officers.   
4. All Inspectors, Superintendents and promotee group ‘A’ officers under CBEC/CBIC expect that the impression about our Board to be “only for, by and of direct recruit IRS officers” would be washed out under the Chairpersonship of your goodself and these poor officers would not only be able to get parity with their counterparts but also start again to reach the highest levels under CBEC/CBIC like remote past. No need to say that these officers have not only attained the level of Commissioner in the remote past but one rare case also reached the level of Member. But very unfortunately, the most of these poor officers are forced to retire merely after one promotion in the present era whereas their counterparts are easily enjoying the levels of Additional Commissioner & Director and also Commissioner & Join Secretary in many cases.
5. In view of the above, it is very much requested to seriously look into the matter bringing the scheme as per your kind assurance enabling the officers joining as Inspector (old and new both) to reach the Level-13/14 and above whether functionally or non-functionally. No need to say that the said scheme would boost the morale of these officers resulting into multifold results under GST.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,


(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
