To,

The Chairman, CBIC,

North Block, New Delhi.

Sub: DPC for the post of Asstt. Commissioner.

Sir,

            As your goodself is aware that our officers are forced to retire every month without promotion for the want of DPC for the post of Asstt. Commissioner without any fault on their part. Already DPCs for two vacancy years are pending despite of thousands of posts being vacant.

            2. It is unfortunate that no serious efforts seem to be made by the concerned authorities in the matter. Our CBIC doesn’t seem interested to promote our officers as we are told in every meeting by the concerned authorities that the Bombay CAT case is main hurdle in the matter but, unfortunately, no seriousness in the matter is being shown by the CBIC as no effort has been taken to resolve the Bombay CAT issue for the last more than one year.

            3. The DPC can very well be conducted for ad-hoc promotions based on 1988 DOPT OM (already provided to the CBIC authorities including your goodself) in case of any court injunction or seniority matter. In the meeting held with your goodself on 24.10.24, you were pleased to apprise the situation to the Association and you were requested to do the needful in the matter. We were told that the DPC is not being conducted due to a contempt petition against the Revenue Secretary relating to the implementation of the catch-up rule.

            4. To resolve such situation, the CBIC must have given the benefit to the applicants or approached the CAT or High Court seeking permission to convene the DPC, if matter seems not to be resolved soon. DPC could have also been conducted by keeping required number of vacancies unfilled for the applicants (as also happened in the past) to give benefit to the regularly retiring and other due officers. But nothing has been done in the matter and the case is keeping prolonged in routine matter without any worry on the part of the concerned authorities due to the matter perhaps being related to the promotee officers instead of direct recruit IRS officers. In case of the direct recruit IRS officers, the CBIC is always keen even to get relaxations from the nodal departments but nothing such ever happens in the case of the poor promotee officers.

            5. In view of the above, it is requested to kindly take some serious and effective steps on immediate basis to conduct the DPC, so that not a single officer due for promotion is retired unpromoted for the want of DPC.

Thanking you,

     Yours sincerely,

                                                                                                                                                     

(HARPAL SINGH),

Secretary General.
