Sub: Urgent need to recruit Administrative Officers.
Sir,
As you are aware,
it is submitted with due regards that the Superintendents do not typically
possess the requisite experience or expertise to work as Administrative Officer
(DDO). Despite it, they are frequently tasked with the ministerial responsibilities
traditionally handled by professionally trained Administrative Officers. This
has led to numerous challenges resulting into operational inefficiencies and
administrative bottlenecks that hinder smooth functioning within the
department. It is a matter of significant concern that is affecting the
operational efficiency of the department in the Central Goods and Services Tax
(CGST) and Customs formations due to lack of Administrative Officers.
2. This situation
has resulted into an increasing workload on Superintendents being expected to
carry out complex ministerial functions including human resources management,
budgetary control, personnel administration etc. It is expected by the
authorities that Superintendents posted to the Admn/Estt/Accounts sections would
possess expertise in these areas from the very first day of their assignment. However,
such expectations are neither justifiable nor feasible. Due to the lack of
formal training or experience in these areas, the Superintendents are often
ill-equipped to handle the nuances and intricacies that come with such additional
postings. It is also worth to reiterate that the Superintendents are recruited
to do revenue collection work instead of such duties. This not only impacts the
quality of work but also causes undue stress on officers who are already
grappling with their core responsibilities of revenue collection in the
department.
3. While the
duties and responsibilities of a Superintendent are critical to the success of
the department, we firmly believe that the inclusion of dedicated
Administrative Officers would significantly improve the overall functioning of
the department. These officers trained and experienced in ministerial
procedures could alleviate the burden on Superintendents to focus more
effectively on their primary role of tax administration.
4. In view of
above, it is requested to kindly recruit required number of Administrative
Officers in the department. Their recruitment will not only streamline
administrative operations but will also enable the department to function with
greater efficiency, ultimately benefiting both the staff and the public we
serve. We are confident that this would foster a more organized, effective and
productive environment within the department.
Thanking
you,
Yours sincerely,
(HARPAL SINGH),
Secretary
General.
