Sh. Pranab Kumar Das,
Chairman, CBIC,

Sub: DPC for the post of Asstt. Commissioner.
Sir,      
            Kindly refer to the earlier requests of the Association on the above matter.
            2. It is to submit with due regards that the DPC for the transition year 2018-19 as well as the calendar year 2019 and 2020 are still pending being already overdue as the same were to be convened between 01.08.17 to 31.01.18, 01.05.18 to 31.10.18 and 01.05.18 to 31.10.18 respectively as per the DOPT OM No. 22011/14/2013-Estt(D) Dt.08.05.17.
            3. It is also worth to submit that the repeated stays are coming on the DPC/promotion perhaps due to the improper presentation of facts before the courts or inaction/delayed action by the concerned authorities due to which the officers are forced to retire without promotion despite of thousands of posts being vacant.
4. Due to the lack of timely action on the part of the concerned authorities in legal cases, the officers are totally demoralized being unable to get the rarest IInd promotion of the career without any fault on their part.
5. Under the present circumstances, it is urgently required to get the stays vacated at an early date not only in the interest of the retiring officers but also in the interest of the manpower required for the GST work at Group A entry level. If the Hon’ble CAT is of the view of not vacating the stay, immediate measures may kindly be taken by the CBIC to get the stay/s on DPC vacated by filing petition in the Hon’ble High Court or even in Hon’ble Supreme Court, if considered appropriate. Otherwise our officers will keep retiring without promotion despite of thousands of promotional posts being in hand.
            6. Your kind attention is also invited to para 3(i) of the DOPT OM issued vide No. 28036/8/87-ESTT.(D) Dt. 30.03.88. This para allows the ad-hoc promotions even in case of an injunction by a Court/Tribunal or any seniority dispute.
7. In view of the above, it is requested to kindly take serious steps to conduct the DPC by applying the provisions of the DOPT OM issued vide No. 28036/8/87-ESTT.(D) Dt. 30.03.88 during the pendency of legal stays/seniority dispute.
            Thanking you, 
                                                                                                                                               Yours sincerely,

Sub: Annual General Transfer orders of Asstt./Deputy Commissioners.
Sir,
            Kindly refer to earlier requests of the Association on the above matter.
            2. It is to submit with due regards that the Group B officers have been promoted to the post of Asstt. Commissioner on ad-hoc basis against the temporary posts with the clause of “no further promotion” and these posts have also not been included in the recruitment rules. The officers have not got the benefit of even a single paisa on being promoted against these posts at the fag end because of already working in the same pay scale. Rather many of them are forced to get less emoluments on account of being transferred to the cities with less HRA.
            3. Thus, these officers may kindly not to be transferred to other station/zone (except willing ones), if vacancies exist in their own zone as was also followed in transfer orders till October, 2014.
4. If the change is inevitable, their station may be changed within their own zone (Para 2.1.5 of the policy also says about the change of station only, not the change of zone) and the officers on promotion from Group B having balance service of 5 years or less may kindly not be transferred out of the station/zone (except willing ones) where they are working at the time of promotion. If already transferred, they may kindly be brought back to their parent/requested place as per their representations. The reason behind it is that these officers are prone to various old age diseases having regular treatment at the existing station and their families are also settled at their parent places due to the compelling circumstances.
5. All of them also have to fulfill their family obligations  like  settlement  of the career issues of young wards, settlement  of  marriage  of  their  wards particularly daughters, care of old & ailing parents being under medical supervision/treatment at the parent station etc. On being transferred at this stage, neither they shall be able to fulfill their family obligations nor be in the position to transfer whole family to a new place or bear double establishments, one at the old place and another at the new place due to the financial constraints and many other compelling circumstances.
            6. The period of more than 9 months has been mentioned to be treated as a complete year in para 7.1 of the policy. In consonance of it, the period of one year and 3 months may also kindly be treated as complete year for posting to the region/zone/station of choice.
            7. It is also worth to mention that the transfer orders for the current year have already been substantially delayed. Therefore, the cut-off date is also required to be relaxed. The counting of months is also required to be made in a bit relaxed manner instead of rigid terms. If any officer is having some months more or less than the prescribed years, the condition for him/her may kindly be relaxed particularly considering his/her representation. 
            8. It is also worth to submit that compassionate grounds including DOPT guidelines, medical grounds of self & family members/parents, working spouse, no spouse, ward/s appearing for Board examination or higher education, girl child etc. etc. are also to be considered as per the representations made by the concerned officers. 
9. In view of the above, it is requested to kindly consider the above submissions with due sympathy for the sake of justice and-
            i) Retain the officers in their own zone/station, if the vacancies exist including Directorate offices/NACEN.
            ii) Not to transfer at least the officers having 5 years or less service to out of the existing/requested station/zone and bring back all of such officers to their own/requested station/zone who were transferred in 2017 and 2018. 
iii) Give due consideration to the compassionate grounds as represented by the officers.
iv) Expedite the issuance of the transfer orders of Asstt./Deputy Commissioners as it is already mid-October whereas the transfer orders were very well expected within the month of the April.
            Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
