Dear friends,
namaste.
I am getting regular queries about the Central Excise promotee group 'A'
officers to be member of the Association. It is to clarify in this regard that
the Central Excise promotee group 'A' officers are very well the member of
AIACEGEO. All willing Central Excise promotee group 'A' officers may have the
membership of AIACEGEO as already resolved and confirmed at three consecutive
General Body Meetings held at Jaipur, Daman and Gandhidham. No need to say that
all the office bearers of so called Promotee IRS Officers were also the party
to the said resolution adopted at Daman. It is also worth to note that many promotee IRS Officers are already paying membership contribution by
check-up system to AIACEGEO. The chronology of the events to this effect is as under-
1. On 01.11.2014, Convention and General Body Meeting of AIACEGEO was held at Daman. The then President of
AIACEGEO, Shri Lokanath Mishra presided over the meeting. Shri Lokanath Mishra
was Asst. Commissioner at that time. In the Convention, it was resolved to
include Gr-A IRS Officers promoted from the cadre of Superintendent of Central
Excise as members of the Association along with Superintendents of Central
Excise.
2. One IRS (C&EC) Promotee
Officers Welfare Association was created by Adhoc Promotee Officers at
Bhubaneswar during the month of December, 2014, Shri A. K. Sharma was
President and Shri Lokanath Mishra was Secretary General of this welfare
Association. Adhoc Bye Laws were adopted by this Welfare Association and
according to these Bye Laws, the President and Secretary General of AIACEGEO
are ex-officio executive members of this welfare association.
3. Promotee Adhoc Officers can not form any
service Association as per Service Association Recognition Rules. Hence, the
Adhoc promotee officers formed this welfare association and not a service
association. Many retired officers are also members of this association.
4. As per our information, the IRS Promotee
Officers Welfare Association is still continuing and Shri Lokanath Mishra is
still Secretary General of this Welfare Association, retired officers also
being the members of this Association.
5. Many promotee Asst. Commissioners joined Daman
Convention as delegates, e.g., Sh. R. C. Sharma & Ms. Varasha Kolhatkar
(Mumbai), Sh. S. K. Patil (Pune), Sh. A. S. Roy ( Kolkata), Sh. S. Deb (
Shillong), Sh. Rajan George (Karala), Sh. N. Swamy (Bangalore), Sh. B.
Chakravorthy, Sh. R. L. Sampath, Sh. Chandrasekaran (Chennai), Sh. Lokanath
Mishra and Sh. N. Pradhan (Bhubaneswar), Sh. Hiralal Giri (Raipur), Sh. S.
K.Pareek ( Jaipur) etc. Sh. B. Chakravorthy, Asst. Commissioner, drafted the
minutes of this meeting. In the minutes prepared by B. Chakravorthy, it
is clearly mentioned about the amendment of Constitution to include Group-A officers
promoted from the cadre of Superintendent of Central Excise to be members of the AIACEGEO.
6. As far as the formation of the service association
by ad hoc officers is concerned, ad hoc promotees can not form any service
association. Clarification of the govt. to this effect is as follows saying
that association membership of such officers would not change on
promotion- 
Love,
Ravi Malik,
Secretary General,
AIACEGEO.
