Sub: Invocation of the
provisions of FR 56(j)/Rule 48 of CCS (Pension) Rules.
Sir,
As your goodself knows, it is to submit
with due regards that the provisions of FR 56(j)/Rule 48 of CCS (Pension) Rules
are being invoked by our CBIC. Firstly, these were invoked for Group ‘A’
officers and now being invoked for Group ‘B’ officers.
2. It is further to submit that the
officers are in great panic by the said invocation as our CBIC is
perhaps first organisation to invoke these provisions on Group ‘B’ officers in the current
time. The mass impression is that the provisions are being invoked in general
manner like to achieve a target to retire the officers instead of exceptional
manner. Such mass invocation is also creating the bad impression for our CBIC among
the public giving the impression that our whole CBIC is indulged in corrupt
practice. The news items are also being seen to put the things in overplayed
manner.
3. No need to submit also that the
Association is totally against any corrupt tactics and is always in favour of
an honest, efficient and effective system. But general invocation (instead of
exceptional) of the provisions of FR 56(j)/Rule 48 of CCS (Pension) Rules is
causing fear among the officers. The Association also believes that the concerned
authorities may be adopting total judicious approach at the time of invoking the
said provisions but mass fear can’t be ruled out.
4. Our officers are already facing
the worst career prospects, the worst pay packages and the worst working
conditions. Even the basic facilities, entitled amenities and due
infrastructure are not available to them. They are even devoid of the
prescribed office space. Nothing can be more pity and pathetic than it. Despite
of all odds, our officers are working for day and night to achieve the revenue
targets. The fear of the invocation of the provisions of FR 56(j)/Rule 48 of CCS
(Pension) Rules shall demoralize them and such demoralization may affect their
efficiency adversely.
5. In view of the above, it is
requested not to invoke the said provisions except in acute and exceptional
circumstances (if required) without giving any room for mass fear. It is also
necessary for the sake of protecting the image of our CBIC. It is also
requested that the due consideration may be given to the ACR/APAR and integrity
gradings in such cases before invoking the said provisions.
Thanking
you,
Yours sincerely,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
