Ref. No. 61/AIB/A/24                                                                       Dt. 19.08.24

To,

Sh. Sanjay Kumar Agarwal,

Chairman, CBIC,

North Block, New Delhi.

Sub: Annual General Transfers, 2024 of Deputy/Assistant Commissioners.

Sir,

            Kindly refer to the communications made by the Association on subject matter including Ref. No. 50/AIB/T/24 Dt. 02.07.24 as well as 55/AIB/A/24 Dt. 16.07.24, transfer/posting guidelines for Group A officers issued by CBIC and various DOPT guidelines      

2. In continuation to the subject matter, it is brought to your kind notice with due regards that there have been made several deviations and the AGT office order No. 126/2024 Dt. 02.08.24 has been issued with errors to the disadvantage of the officers. No doubt that the administration has the prerogative to rotate the officers but it shouldn’t seem to be arbitrary and unilateral. The transfer order impresses that the use of highhandedness and undue influence have duly been used. Some deviations/errors are enumerated as below-

(i) Asstt. Commissioners have been posted to a Zone which is not of their choice/willingness in the representation even after spending three years in other zones thousands of KMs away from their home. 

            (ii) Officers have been posted to DG Systems against willingness after working in DGOV/CESTAT for three years within the same city instead of considering their willingnesses.

(iii) Direct Recruit Asstt. Commissioners are not being posted to Directorates and non-sensitive seats which requires a serious thought whether it is under some plan. There seems clear disparity and partiality between the transfers of Direct Recruit officers and Promotee officers.

(iv) Officers have been posted to the zones which they didn’t opt. This defeats the purpose of asking willingnesses/options.

(v) There seems no transparency in orders as well as cut-off date.

(vi) Officers have been posted from one Directorate to another Directorate against willingness.

(vii) Many officers, already posted at other zones after promotion, have again been posted to another zone for which no option has been given. If the placement committee was not willing to consider their representations to post them to parent zone, they should at least have not been moved to another zone.

(viii) One officer has been posted to DG Systems, Delhi from CGST Ghaziabad even after one year without any request given by him for any transfer. There may be many other such cases who have been moved after one year as per willingness or against willingness.

(ix) The officers having left less than three years of service have not been posted to their parent/home/requested place whereas the cases like Sh. Tirthankar Pyne (S. No. 110, Employee Id 10879) are enjoying home place since their promotion by not being transferred to outstation despite of having pretty more than three years service left. He has recently been transferred to DGGI, Kolkata from DG, Systems, Kolkata. Thus, the purpose of asking for options/willingnesses has been defeated and influential officers got desirous postings/places.

(x) Working Spouse cases have not been considered.

(xi) The cases of wards studying in board classes (X and XII) have not been considered.

(xii) There may be many more deviations/errors, if scrutinised seriously and deeply. The Association as well as officers were hopeful that CBIC transfer guidelines and various DOPT guidelines would duly be considered.

3. In view of above, it is very mush requested to kindly reconsider the options given by the officers to give due benefit to them accordingly. If considered necessary, fresh options may also kindly be asked from the adversely affected officers by giving due consideration to CBIC as well as DOPT guidelines.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

                                                                                                                                                       

(HARPAL SINGH),

Secretary General.
