Sub: Implementation of the CBEC circular issued vide F. No.
A-26017/44/94-Ad II (A) Dt. 08.03.95 regarding arrears of pay.
Madam,
Kindly
refer to the earlier representations including Ref. No. 58/AIB/A/17 Dt. 02.08.17
and Ref. No. 107/AIB/A/17 Dt. 20.09.17 of the Association on the above matter.
2. It is submitted with due regards
that the said circular was issued based on the orders of Jabalpur CAT for the
payment of arrears of pay to our officers at par with the CBI Inspectors w.e.f.
01.01.86, if the Vth pay commission recommends the same pay scale for both
categories of Inspectors. No need to say that the pay commission recommended
the same pay scale for both categories. It is further submitted that all of the
then Central Excise Inspectors have already become Superintendents.
3. The CAT ordered to place the
officers of Central Excise under the pay scale of the officers of CBI since
01.01.1986 without any condition of consulting Expenditure Department in the
matter, if the Vth pay commission recommends similar pay scale for both
categories. It is also worth to mention that no appeal was made against the
order of the CAT.
4. The implementation of the subject-mentioned circular is
still awaited despite of being pursued by the Association on regular basis and the
repeated assurances given by the administration.
5. In view of the above, it is
requested to kindly implement
the said circular particularly considering the fact that our officers are
retiring on regular basis without getting its benefit.
Thanking
you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.

The Secretary,
Department of Expenditure,
North
Block, New Delhi.
Sub: Implementation of para 7.15.24 of 6th
CPC report in light of UO No. 6/37/98-IC Dt. 24.11.14 of Expenditure.
Sir,
Kindly refer to the Ref. No. 134/AIB/E/17 Dt. 26.10.17
of the Association.
2.
With due regards, it is to submit that the pay scale of the Chief Enforcement
Officers, analogous counterparts of Central Excise Superintendent, under our
own Department of Revenue was enhanced to Rs. 8000-13500/- without the
recommendations by CPC vide Order F. No. 1612612004-Ad.I.C dt. 04.10.05. The 6th
CPC under para 7.14.25 recommended to maintain parity between the post of Chief Enforcement Officer and Central Excise
Superintendent etc. which has not
been implemented till date. Subsequently, the post of the Chief
Enforcement Officer was re-designated as Assistant Director. The duties and
responsibilities of Assistant Director (re-designated) of Enforcement
Directorate are at par with the duties and responsibilities of the post of
Central Excise Superintendent. The Central Excise Superintendents join the
Enforcement Directorate as Assistant Director on deputation basis also. The
Chief Enforcement Officers are also being paid 25 percent
extra salary per month again without the recommendations of CPC.
3.
The competent authority in the Govt. of India (Department of Expenditure) has,
however, approved an initial grade pay of Rs. 5400/- in PB2 for Central Excise
Superintendents on 21.11.14 considering
para 7.15.24 of the report of 6th CPC but it was communicated finally to
CBEC vide UO No. 6/37/98-IC Dt. 24.11.14
to send the case to 7th CPC by the Under Secretary level officer.
4.
It is really unfortunate and totally unjustified that the matter duly
recommended by the 6th CPC and duly accepted by the competent
authority was again asked to be sent to 7th CPC. It was, however,
neither sent to the 7th CPC nor implemented till date. Even if it
was sent to the 7th CPC and was again recommended, who knows that it
would have not again been asked to be sent to the next CPC/s under an unending
process.
5.
In view of the above, it is requested to kindly undo the
discrimination by implementing the para 7.15.24 of 6th CPC report in
accordance of the approval by the competent authority of the Expenditure on
21.11.14 vide UO No. 6/37/98-IC to give justice to the Central Excise/CGST
Superintendents.
Thanking
you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.

Ref. No. 96/AIB/G/18
Dt. 02.04.18
To,
The Secretary,
Department of Expenditure,
North Block, New
Delhi.
Sub: Retrospective implementation of pay
scale of Central Excise Superintendents at par with NCB Superintendents who
were the part & parcel of one & the same RRs having a common seniority
list for being promoted to the common post of Asstt. Commissioner.
Sir,
Kindly refer to the
Ref. No. 135/AIB/E/17 Dt. 26.10.17.
2.
With due regards, it is to submit that the pay scale of the Superintendents of
Narcotics Control Bureau was revised to Rs. 7500-12000/- from Rs. 6500-10500/- w.e.f. 01.01.96 with all consequential
benefits vide U.O. No. 169/1/2005-IC dt. 11.04.05 of the Department of
Expenditure leading to the issuance of Order F. No. II/2(38)/2004-Estt. dt.
20.04.05 by the NCB whereas the pay scale of the Superintendents of Central
Excise was revised to Rs. 7500-12000/- from Rs. 6500-10500/- prospective effect
w.e.f. 21.04.04, i.e., from the date of issuance of the order vide O.M. No.
6/37/98-IC dt. 21.04.04.
3. It is worth to submit that the Superintendents of NCB
were granted the retrospective benefit despite of the fact that their pay scale was revised even after the
revision of pay scale of Superintendents of Central Excise. The Association
has been continuously raising the demand for implementing the revised pay scale
with retrospective effect for Central Excise Superintendents instead of 21.04.04
but nothing has happened till date. It
is further submitted that the Superintendents
in NCB were also granted the
non-functional time scale on completion of 4 years of service based on the
parity with the Superintendents of Central Excise and also based on the
precedent of the grant of time scale to later.
4. Further,
there exists an established parity and relativity between the Superintendents
of NCB and Superintendents of Central Excise as the nature of duties, mode of
recruitment, functions and responsibilities of these posts are the same. The
Superintendents of Central Excise are also working as Superintendents in NCB
since the creation of NCB. NCB was also a part of CBEC under the Department of
Revenue and remained its part till 18.02.03. Even after that, NCB is being
monitored by the CBEC/Department of Revenue and the Superintendents of Central
Excise are till now performing their duties as Superintendents of NCB.
5.
The mode of recruitment of the Inspectors in CBEC and Intelligence Officers
(Inspector grade) in NCB is also common. The posts of Superintendents in CBEC
and NCB are also filled-up through promotion from the Inspectors and Intelligence
Officers. The High Power Committee formed by the then Finance Minister also
accepted that the Superintendents of Central Excise and the Superintendents of
NCB are at par. Further, the Sixth Pay Commission had categorically observed vide Para
7.15.20 of its report that the duties
& responsibilities attached to these
posts whether in Central Excise or in the Narcotics Control Bureau are similar.
6. Thus, if the pay scale of the
Superintendents of NCB was revised retrospectively w.e.f. 01.01.96 by the
Department of Expenditure, the prospective revision of pay scale from 21.04.04
for the Superintendents of Central Excise is gross injustice to them.
7. In view of the above, it is requested to kindly give
the retrospective effect to the enhanced pay scale of the Central Excise
Superintendents at par with the Superintendents of NCB for the sake of justice.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.

Ref. No. 97/AIB/U/18
Dt. 02.04.18
To,
The Prime Minister of
India,
North Block, New Delhi.
Sub: Upgradation of posts & scales
like state governments under GST.
Sir,
Kindly refer to the Ref. No. 118/AIB/G/17 Dt. 09.10.17 and 165/AIB/G/17
Dt. 04.12.17 of the Association.
2. With due regards, it is to submit again that the state
governments including Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Andaman &
Nicobar etc. have not only upgraded the various posts under GST but also
granted higher pay scales to benefit and motivate their employees for perfect
and efficient furtherance of GST.
3. No need to say that the states are taking every step
to motivate their employees in r/o career prospects and pay matters for the
perfect implementation of GST whereas the same is very terribly missing in our
CBEC. All kudos to the state governments for the steps taken to motivate the
employees and generate feeling of healthy competition among them in r/o GST.
4.
It is really unfortunate, de-motivating and demoralizing that no such steps
have ever been taken by CBEC despite of the actual work force of
Superintendents and Inspectors being totally disappointed, de-motivated,
demoralised and job-dissatisfied for decades in r/o the career prospects and
pay matters as compared to their counterparts. No need to say that these poor
officers are far behind their counterparts of state governments as well as
central government in the above matters. Such matters, having an endless list,
are being regularly communicated to the CBEC but without any remedy.
5. The post of CTO (equivalent to Superintendent or even
lower) has not only been placed under a pay scale with Pay Band of Rs.
15,600-39,100/- (PB3) and with Grade Pay of Rs. 5400/- equivalent to Level-10
of Central Government but it has also been upgraded to the post of Asstt.
Commissioner in states under GST. Inspector or even lower level post has also
been upgraded to CTO by the state governments thus placing the Inspector level
officers under a pay scale of Level-10 by way of double mechanism of
upgradation of post and enhancement of pay scale. Accordingly, CTO has been
placed in a pay scale and status of group A entry level by the states.
Likewise, Asstt. CTO has been upgraded to CTO, CTO to Asstt. Commissioner,
Asstt. Commissioner to Deputy Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner to Joint
Commissioner and so on in the state governments under GST regime.
6. In view of the above, it is requested that the same
steps (if not better than the GST counterparts in state governments) may also
kindly be taken to upgrade the posts and scales in CBEC from the lowest to the
highest level to motivate and create the feeling of job-satisfaction among the
employees of CBEC for perfect implementation of GST in the interest of the
revenue.
Thanking you,
Yours
faithfully,
(RAVI
MALIK),
Secretary
General.
