Presentation of Cadre Restructuring proposal made to AIACTGEO by HRD office

 

Friends, 

As per the presentation made to AIACTGEO by HRD office, the main points of CBIC cadre restructuring proposal are as below-

1. Direct recruitment of Inspector Grade II at Level 6 instead of Level 7. However, they promised us that 80% direct recruitment will be in Level 6 and 20% in Level 7.

2. Qualifying service for promotion of Inspector to Superintendent to be 4 years instead of 2 years whereas it should be 2 years as per DOPT guidelines.

3. To abolish automatic 4 years time scale. Instead making it promotional post with designation of Senior Superintendent at Level 9 after 4 years of service as Superintendent means it will be vacancy based and DPC (which never happens timely in our CBIC) will be conducted for the said promotion. In nutshell, it projects that service will start at Level 6 and will get 3 promotions upto Level 9. God knows whether officers will go beyond it or not. So, no automatic time scale after 4 years of service to our officers in future. However, they promised us that the post of Senior Superintendent would not be created and 4 years time scale would continue.

4. Proposal seemed Direct group A centric. Commissioner & above posts will be around 800 despite there being no work under GST beyond Addl. Commissioner.  

5. Separate service for promotee officers from Asstt. Commissioner to Deputy Commissioner with qualifying service of 5 years for promotion (Not known when DPC will happen) instead of 4 years which is for Direct Recruit Asstt. Commissioners. Promotional quota of 22% from promotee Asstt. Commissioner to Deputy Commissioner whereas Direct Recruit Asstt. Commissioners will keep promoted as Deputy Commissioner within 4 years based on vacancy year on 100% basis.

6. Merger of 3 Group B executive cadres into one and maintenance of All India Seniority List.

7. Manpower enhancement in GST by 38% and in Customs by 84%.

8. Number of Asstt. Commissioner to be 5090 (DR 300 + promotee 4790) and 2118 posts of Asstt. Commissioner to be regularized as part of separate Branch B service.

Regards to all.
