Grievance Petition of All India Association of Central Excise Gazetted
Executive Officers-reg.
Sir,
Kindly refer to your letter
F.No.A-26017/237/2017-Ad.IIA Dt. 25.05.18 regarding pgportal grievance petition
No. PMOPG/E/2018/0143428 Dt. 30.03.18 in r/o Batch to batch Non Functional Financial Upgradation
(NFU) to our officers to grant financial parity with the best placed
counterparts of CSS etc.
2. The non-functional financial
upgradation (NFU) has already been brought for Group A officers vide DOPT OM
No. AB.14017/64/2008-Estt.(RR) Dt. 24.04.09 to grant them financial parity with
their counterparts of IAS, the best placed Group A cadre. So, no need to say
that bringing of NFU to grant financial parity to Group B officers with the
best placed counterpart is also urgent need of time. As far as the CCA and
duties & responsibilities are concerned, the same are also different for
all Group A cadres. Association has not compared Superintendent with CSS but
asked for grant of NFU to bring financial parity with the best placed
counterpart. Even otherwise, the Superintendents have been conferred with
higher duties & responsibilities in comparison to any other counterpart of
them including CSS. No need also to say that the CBIC has already recommended
the grant of NFU for Superintendents at least on four occasions.
3. The issue of at least five
functional promotions to officers after joining as Inspector has already been
recommended by the CBIC vide OM F.
No.A-26017/154//2015-Ad.IIA Dt. 22.02.16 in r/o 7th CPC report which needs to be taken
up seriously by our CBIC.
4. The study team constituted by the
CBIC has taken no step till date on the issue even after the expiry of more
than 4.5 years of the recommendations of the Cabinet/CRC/Cabinet Secretary to
take extra measures to remove stagnation of group B Central Excise executive
officers independent of cadre restructuring.
5. The temporary posts of Asstt.
Commissioner have been created for a limited period with the clause of no
further promotion. Even if these 2118 posts are further extended, our officers
will not be able to get five promotions due to the clause of no further
promotion after being promoted against these pots. Moreover, these posts have
also not been included in the RRs. So, our officers will not be able to get
adequate career progression on account of these posts.
6. If direct recruitment to Group A
service can’t be less than 50%, the remaining 50% meant for promotions may
kindly be made “post based instead of vacancy based” as our officers are always
at loss on account of it being vacancy based. However, the DOPT has already
asked that direct recruitment should not be more than 3% of the total strength.
In such case, the remaining 47% may also kindly be attributed for the purpose
of promotions. Reduction in the percentage of direct recruitment will also help
to improve the stature of direct Group A service instead of affecting it
adversely. This is the only reason that DOPT also asked to minimize the direct
recruitment to the limit of 3% otherwise the officers of the same batch may be
Additional Commissioner or Commissioner or Principal/Chief Commissioner or
Member/Chairman.
7. In view of the above, it is
requested to kindly take necessary steps to bring non-functional financial up-gradation (NFU)
to Central Excise officers joining as Inspector at par with the best placed
Group B counterparts of CSS etc. for the sake of justice at least to grant them
financial parity and also bring Flexible Complementary/Dynamic Assured Career
Progression Scheme or separate service or in-situ promotion scheme for
Superintendents to grant them minimum five promotions after joining as
Inspector.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
