COURT MATTER

To,
The Revenue Secretary,

Kartavya Bhavan-I, New Delhi

Sub: Discrimination in implementation of court orders in the matter related to enhanced pay scale of Inspectors and Superintendents w.e.f. 01.01.1996 instead of 21.04.2024.

Sir,

            Kindly refer to the policy accepted & adopted by the CBIC in the matter related to enhancement of pay scale of Inspectors & Superintendents notionally from 01.01.1996 and payment of arrears actually from 21.04.2024. Accordingly, the CBIC has accepted the various court orders on the said matter and issued so many letters to the various CCAs for implementation of the same resulting in the enhancement of pay/pension & payment of arrears to the applicants in the court cases.

2. It is further submitted with due regards that the CBIC has very recently accepted the Order dated 17.12.2025 passed by the Hon’ble CAT, Allahabad Bench in the OA No. 816 of 2025 partially to the extent of adopted policy and going to file review/appeal on the limited disagreed portion. Accordingly, a letter F. No. A-23011/05/2025-Ad.IIA dated 19.03.2026 has been issued for payment of arrears. But, very unfortunately, the CBIC has not adopted the same approach towards the applicants of the other orders including the following ones passed by the Hon'ble CAT. The CBIC did not accepted these orders partially to the extent of their adopted policy as done in the case of OA No. 816 of 2025-

3. In this regard, your kind attention is invited to the letter F. No. A-23011/05/2025-Ad.IIA dated 22.08.2025 and F. No. A-23011/05/2025-Ad.IIA Dt. 22.01.2026 of the CBIC wherein the CBIC has issued the directions to challenge the aforesaid first four orders before the Hon’ble High Court and file review petition for 5th order. This is highly discriminating to the applicants of the above court cases as they have been treated differently and deprived from the benefit of policy adopted by the CBIC whereas the applicants of OA No. 816 of 2025 have correctly been given favorable treatment. 

4. In view of above, it is requested to kindly extend the benefit to all the applicants and equally placed officers according to the adopted policy to undo the discrimination in the same manner as given to the applicants of the OA No. 816 of 2025.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

                                                                                                                                                       

(HARPAL SINGH),

Secretary General.
