Ms. Vanaja N. Sharna,
Chairperson, CBEC,
North Block, New Delhi.
Sub: Bringing a scheme for Central Excise/CGST executive officers
benefiting the old as well as young generations.
Madam,
Kindly
refer to the earlier requests of the Association on the subject-mentioned
issue.
2. With due regards, it is to submit that your goodself was kind enough to
show the willingness in the very first meeting
with the Association on your goodself becoming the Chairperson of the CBEC to
bring a scheme for Central Excise executive officers benefitting the old as well
as young generations. We are very hopeful and waiting for the same very eagerly
but the same is yet to come. However, the
following measures are suggested to bring the scheme-
(a) Time bound
promotions/scales: Time scales
after every 7 years were also recommended by CBEC to 6th CPC
vide F.No.A.26017/147 /06-Ad.II.A Dt. 04.01.07 as one of the measures for these
officers. No posts will be required to be created for the grant of time
scale after every 7 years.
(b) Notional
promotions granting batch to batch parity with the best placed common entry
counterparts like CSS etc. There already exist so many legal verdicts in the
favour of various employees of many other organizations on notional
promotions.
(c) Creation of
supernumerary posts which will be personal to the officer at each level of
the promotion and will be abolished with the retirement of the officer. There
already exist so many legal verdicts in the favour of various employees of many
other organizations on supernumerary posts.
(d) Creation of
separate service: The draft RR’s for separate service have already been
submitted by the Association. The separate service for group ‘B’ officers has
also been recommended on various occasions by the CBEC and also by the IRS
Officers Association. This may be created by taking all of the temporary posts
as well as regular posts at group ‘A’ entry level by upgrading these to STS
(with the provision of promoting Superintendents directly to STS)+half of
existing STS posts+additional posts at each level in proportion to CSS.
(e) Direct promotion
to higher posts: Customs Ministerial officers have been promoted as
Appraiser without working even for a single day on feeder post of Examiner in Mumbai
Customs under CBEC. Likewise, our officers may also kindly be promoted directly
to the higher posts at par with common entry counterparts.
(f) In-situ promotions
(requiring no creation of posts) after completion of residency periods
as prescribed by the DOPT.
(g) Batch to batch functional
upgradation at par with the
best placed common entry counterparts.
(h) Batch to batch non-functional upgradation at par with the
best placed common entry counterparts like CSS etc. (also requiring no creation of posts).
(i) Re-framing of the RRs prescribing the qualifying services in
consonance of the DOPT OM No. AB-14017/61/2008-Estt.(RR) dt. 24.03.09 and
having provision of automatic upgradation to higher grade on completion of 1½
times of residency period as also suggested by the Association in relation of
the implementation of the verdict given in the OA No. 2323.2012 by the
Principal Bench of CAT.
(j) Introduction of Flexible Complementary Promotion
Scheme (FCS) or Dynamic Assured Career Progression Scheme (DACP) as introduced in the
Department of Science and Technology and Ministry of Health for their
employees.
2. Your goodself is once
more requested to look into the matter for the sake of justice to the Central Excise
executive officers, the most of whom are retiring with single promotion in
their career after joining as Inspector. One or more of the above/other measures may
be taken to remove their acute stagnation. It is also worth to submit that the
Cabinet has also recommended to bring some specific measures independent of
cadre restructuring to remove the stagnation of these officers.
Thanking you.
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
