Sub: Merger and unification of cadres.
Madam,
            Kindly refer to the Office Order No. 02/Ad.IV/2018 issued vide No. A-11013/10/2016-Ad.IV Dt. 12.02.18.
          2. With due regards, it is to submit that the various group ‘B’ and ‘C’ cadres including executive cadres of all Directorates under CBEC/CBIC have been merged into one common cadre with common RRs vide above referred order. 
3. Your kind attention is also invited to the various representations of the Association since very beginning for the merger and unification of group ‘B’ executive cadres of field formations under CBEC keeping in view the wide disparities in promotions from zone to zone. No need to say that the issue of promotional disparities has also been accepted by the CBEC/CBIC on various occasions but no corrective measures have been taken till date.
4. Due to the regional disparities, the senior officers are forced to work under their juniors of Central Excise/CGST as well as Customs. As far as RRs are concerned, the RRs are already common for the Inspectors as well as Superintendents of the field formations. The All India Seniority List is also common for the Superintendents.
5. Not only it, the Customs cadre has been made separate further bifurcating into two without any justifiable reason at group ‘B’ non-gazetted as well as gazetted level. Due to this unreasoned trifurcation of single cadre at non-gazetted as well as gazetted group ‘B’ level, the Central Excise/CGST executive officers are forced to work under their extreme juniors of Customs. It is also worth to mention that there exists no separation or trifurcation of cadre at group ‘A’ level. This all results into intra-cadre as well as inter-cadre disparities in promotions.  
6. In view of the above, it is again requested to kindly take necessary steps also to merge the executive cadres of field formations under CBEC/CBIC and also unify the cadres of Customs & Central Excise/CGST at non-gazetted and gazetted group ‘B’ executive levels to bring all the officers of same batch at par in the matter of promotion.
               Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,


(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
