Meetings with Chairman, Pr DG, HRD, HRM, and Pr ADG, HRD, HRM

 

Meetings were held with the Chairman, Pr DG, HRD, HRM, and Pr ADG, HRD, HRM on 22.10.2024, during which the following points were discussed:

 

(A) DPC for the post of Assistant Commissioner:

The officials expressed concern about the DPC process but highlighted several court cases that pose challenges. They stated that every effort is being made to resolve the issue. The DOPT OM of 1988 was brought to their attention and handed over to them. However, they clarified that this OM cannot be applied at this time without a clear court order, as the Bombay CAT has already directed that no DPC, including for ad-hoc promotions, should be conducted until the applicants are granted the benefit of the catch-up rule. The applicants have also filed a contempt case against the Revenue Secretary, as mentioned by the officials. They acknowledged that implementing the catch-up rule is not straightforward.

 

(B) Removal of stagnation and regional disparities in promotions:

The officials noted that this issue would be addressed during the cadre restructuring process. The acute stagnation in certain zones, such as the North East Zone and others, was highlighted. Additionally, schemes like the implementation of the in-situ promotion scheme approved by CBIC on 18.02.2011, a scheme to address stagnation independent of cadre restructuring as approved by the Cabinet in 2013, Batch-to-Batch Non-Functional Financial Upgradation (NFFU) for financial parity, and the Flexible Complementary/Dynamic Assured Career Progression Scheme were mentioned as potential solutions. The officials said they would review these schemes.

 

(C) Ensuing cadre restructuring of CBIC:

The officials remained silent on this matter. 

 

(D) Promotion against refusal of promotion:

The officials agreed in principle and requested a copy of the DOPT OM No. 22011/5/86-Esstt. (D) dated 10.04.1989, which was provided to them.

 

(E) Manpower for field formations:

The officials stated that this issue would be addressed during the cadre restructuring process.

 

(F) Parity in promotions with Examiners:

The officials stated that they would review this issue.

 

(G) Vizianagaram airport to be manned by CGST personnel:

The officials requested details, which were provided.

 

(H) Parity with State GST:

The officials mentioned that they would review this issue at a later stage.
