It is to submit with due regards that the most of the Central Excise/CGST
Superintendents entering the job as Inspector are <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">retiring only with single promotion in the service career of 35 to 40
years and forced to work under their extreme juniors of Customs belonging to
the same cadre of Inspector</span> recruited through the same examination in
the same organisation of CBIC under the same department of Revenue of the same
Ministry of Finance. The single cadre of Inspector in the CBIC has been
trifurcated into 3 sub-categories in absolutely unjustifiable manner, i.e.,
Inspector (Central Excise/CGST & Land Customs), Preventive Officer
(Inspector Customs) & Examiner (Inspector Customs) to be promoted as
Superintendent (Central Excise/CGST & Land Customs), Superintendent
(Customs) & Appraiser (Customs) respectively merging at group ‘A’ entry
level. This places the officers entering the job as Inspector (Central
Excise/CGST & Land Customs) decades behind the Examiners and Preventive
Officers (<b>also admitted by the CBIC in its Board meetings of 12.01.11 and
18.02.11</b>) due to the discriminatory rate of promotion and faulty
recruitment rules. The last <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">cadre
restructuring was also proved of no good to remove the acute stagnation</span>
of the totally demoralized officers of ours (Central Excise Superintendents and
Inspectors) on account of which the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Cabinet
also approved to bring some measures to remove the stagnation of our officers
independent of cadre restructuring</b> but very unfortunately, the said measures
are still awaited even after expiry of more than one decade of its approval by
the Cabinet. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">3. The CBIC as on date has thousands of Group ‘B’ officers already
putting more than 25 years of service and got only one promotion.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The ACPS/MACPS
is also unable to undo the gross injustice done to our officers. Even the
temporary posts of the Asstt. Commissioner created in the last cadre
restructuring did no good to our officers on account of being created with the
clause of “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">no further promotion</b>” and
also not being included in the recruitment rules. Our officers didn’t get the
benefit of even a single paisa on being promoted against these posts at the fag
end on account of already working in the same pay scale. Many of them rather
forced to get less emoluments on account of being transferred to the cities
with less HRA. Due to this reason, a good number of our officers prefer to
forgo the promotion against these posts and many are forced<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>plan to be voluntarily retired. Thus, the last <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">cadre restructuring was insufficient to remove the acute stagnation</span>
of the totally demoralized officers of ours as also admitted in advance by the
CBIC in the Board meeting of 12.01.11. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">That’s
why the Cabinet was also pleased to recommend bringing of some measures
independent of cadre restructuring to remove stagnation of our officers</b>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">4. Our common
entry counterparts in CSS, CBDT, Customs, Rajya Sabha Secretariat etc. are
already attaining higher levels <b>upto Level-14 (5 to 6 promotions)</b>
whereas the most of our officers retire at the post of Level-8 only with single
promotion after being appointed as Inspector, whether direct entry or by
promotion. <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">This gross injustice has
totally demoralised the Central Excise/CGST Superintendents leaving nothing to
be motivated. This injustice is needed to be undone at the earliest in the
interest of the revenue.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">5. Regarding GST,
no need to say that we require essential manpower and infrastructure
particularly at Group ‘A’ entry to Addl. Commissioner level and also to
strengthen the set-ups like audit, preventive, anti-evasion, anti-smuggling,
anti-narcotics, seaports, ICDs, airports, SEZs, LCSs, 24*7 working etc.
alongwith major expansion of the existing formations to increase the indirect
tax collection alongwith to stop smuggling activities, infiltration of
contrabands & lethal weapons also to stop serious threat to the security of
the Nation. The Standing Committee on Finance in its 52nd report had also
expressed its concern over the pathetic situation of man-power shortage
desiring CBIC to give interim relief to the stagnating cadres. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">6. While
submitting its 52nd report on 20.04.2012, the standing committee on finance had
observed that “in CBEC (now CBIC) the majority of Direct recruit Inspectors of
Central Excise and Preventive officers (both almost 98%) get only one
functional promotion during average service span of 35 years. Main reason for
such acute stagnation is the ratio (1:15) between the strength of Assistant
Commissioner (Group A) level and Group B gazetted level of these officers. In
other departments of GOI the said ratio varies from 1:2 to 1:4. The Committee
expresses their concern over the pathetic situation of man power shortage and
desires both CBDT and CBEC to hasten formulation of a policy in this regard
while giving interim relief to stagnating cadres.” <span class="commentbody">The
Committee also observed that the shortage of staff is the main reason for
shortfalls in the performance of both the Departments.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">7. T</span><span lang="EN-SG" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-SG; mso-fareast-language: EN-SG;">he Public Accounts
Committee in its 79th Report on the topic "Service tax on Banking and
other Financial Services" submitted to both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha on
21.03.13 at Para XVI of Part-B to Part-I has discussed in details about the
staff position in Service Tax under CBEC. At Para 18 of Part-II, the PAC has
observed, "The Committee notes that there is a lack of perspective
planning in the matter of deployment of staff on such a vital source of revenue
collection viz., Service Tax. Taking into consideration the amount of revenue
collected from Service Tax and Central Excise during the year 2011-12, the
Committee is surprised to find that in contrast to the deployment of nearly
40,000 officers for excise, only 4000 to 5000 officers have been deployed for
Service Tax stream and that too after withdrawing from the Central Excise
stream. Apparently, Service Tax wing has been working for more than 15 years
with no staff of its own. <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The
Committee is dismayed to note the helplessness expressed both by the Finance
Secretary and Chairman, Central Board of Excise & Customs in this regard
especially when Ministry of Finance is itself one of the nodal authorities for
examining and sanctioning requisite staff to Ministries</span>. The
Committee feels that the staff requirement be examined on priority basis by the
concerned authorities in order to ensure that the Service Tax collections,
which have increased phenomenally from Rs. 407 crore in 1994-95 to Rs. 97,389
crore in 2011-12 does not suffer for want of human resource.” Thus, the report
justified sufficiently high increase of the officers on functional basis
against the then existing sanctioned strength of merely 2000 in Service Tax.
The observations of the Committee are now equally applicable to GST and thus,
the CBIC will have to do a lot to improve its Human Resource Policy.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">8. The direct
recruit <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">IRS officers of CBIC get parity
with the common entry counterparts of CBDT in every cadre restructuring
including the last one and also with other better placed common entry group ‘A’
counterparts including IAS </span>alongwith the creation of posts in the higher
pay scales even without having eligible officers in Group ‘A’ for further
promotions and later on seeking relaxation for their promotions<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">. They have also been granted financial
parity with the best placed counterparts of IAS in the form of NFU. Such good
things should also happen to our officers being appointed as Inspector and the
most of them retiring on the post of Superintendent merely after single
promotion in the career whereas the direct recruit IRS officers to the post of
Asstt. Commissioner (Level-10) are becoming Commissioner (Level-14) and
enjoying four promotions within 17 years span</span>. Unfortunately, no parity
(not even financial) with common entry counterparts like CBDT, CSS, Customs
etc. has ever been considered for Central Excise/CGST Superintendents and
Inspectors. The talks of parity for our officers with other counterparts were,
however, made during the presentation of the last cadre restructuring proposal
on 18.01.11 but nothing has been done till date even <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">despite of the specific recommendations of the Cabinet to bring an independent
measure to remove the stagnation of our officers</b>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">9. This parity is
very much required to boost the morale of the officers by adopting the measures
like <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">time bound promotions/scales,
notional promotions, upgradation (functional or non-functional), creation of
supernumerary posts,<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> direct promotion
to higher post/s, upgradation of posts,</span> creation of separate service,
in-situ promotions or any other specific measure/s alongwith re-framing of the
RR’s <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">without trifurcating </span>the
cadre at group ‘B’ non-gazetted/group ‘B’ gazetted level prescribing the
qualifying service as per DOPT OM No. AB-14017/61/2008-Estt.(RR) dt. 24.03.09
(not being followed by CBIC) which stipulates clearly the promotion of
Inspector grade to the grade of Joint Commissioner, Addl. Commissioner &
Commissioner after completion of 12, 17 & 20 years of service respectively.</b>
During the presentation of last cadre restructuring proposal on 18.01.11, CBIC
showed its inability to implement the said OM due to the want of required
number of vacancies/posts. It is, therefore, requested that the required number
of posts may kindly be created and the said OM be implemented or our officers
may kindly be granted <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">in-situ promotions
(which requires no creation of posts)</b> after completion of the due service
even independent of cadre restructuring. A little deviation from the above
mentioned DOPT guidelines, already framed with the due diligence &
application of mind by the DOPT, may be understood but the non-implementation
of the same at all is never understandable. If the grant of the prescribed
grade of Level-14 is not possible within 20 years, we may be granted the same
after completion of 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 or even 30 years (<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">after completion of 1½ times of qualifying
service </b>as prescribed by the DOPT based on the precedent of CSS of
promoting all the Section Officers to the STS post of Under Secretary after
completion of 1½ times of qualifying service in 1999) after entry into job as
Inspector. In-situ promotion scheme may even be in the form of <b>Flexible
Complementary/Dynamic Assured Career Progression Scheme, </b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">already existing in the Department of Science
& Technology and also in the Ministry of Health to remove the stagnation of
their employees. </span>No need to say that there exist provisions of in-situ
promotions upto the level of Joint/Addl. Secretary in CSS also.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">10. It is also
worth to mention that the upgradation of the Superintendents, completing 20
years of service after joining as Inspector, to the post of Asstt. Commissioner
will also require no expenditure as they are already getting the salaries of
the said post and upgradtion to the post of Deputy Commissioner after
completion of 24 years of service will also require minimal expenditure. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Such upgradations will also remove the regional
disparities</b>. This upgradation may be even in the form of in-situ promotions,
if required numbers of functional posts are not available. The officers with 29
and 32 years of service may further be upgraded to the posts of Joint
Commissioner and Addl. Commissioner respectively on functional or in-situ
basis. As an instant measure, the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">in-situ
promotion scheme approved in CBIC Board meeting of 18.02.11</b> may be
implemented immediately from date of its approval independent of cadre
restructuring. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">11. In the last
cadre restructuring, no heed was paid to the DOPT communications issued vide
D.O.No.5/26/2010-CS.II(A) Dt. 06.10.10, No. 19/1/2008-CS.I(P) Dt. 20.07.10, No.
20/51/2009-CS.II Dt. 27.01.11, No.35034/9/2010-Estt.(D) Dt. 10.02.11, OM No.
35034/9/2010-Estt. (D) Dt. 10.02.11 etc. stipulating very clearly that the
cadre restructuring should be viewed to <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">mitigate
the stagnation of the stagnated employees</span>. No need to say that the
Central Excise/CGST Superintendents and Inspectors are not only the most
stagnated category of the employees under the CBIC but they are also the most
stagnated category of govt. employees. The CBIC already has around <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">40000</span> group ‘B’ Central Excise
executive officers comprising Superintendents and Inspectors retiring only with
one promotion in their service career.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">12. The officers
joining as Inspector are able at the most to enter group ‘A’ temporary post of
Asstt. Commissioner whereas the Examiners belonging to same cadre are becoming
Commissioner against regular post in CBIC. No such measures like Examiners have
been taken for the officers joining as Central Excise Inspector to mitigate
their acute stagnation who are forced to work under their extreme junior
Examiners. It is also worth to submit that the Income Tax Inspectors as well as
the Assistants of CSS and Rajya Sabha Secretariat are easily becoming the
Commissioner and Joint Secretary. The reason behind these disparities seems the
existing ratio between group ‘A’ entry level to group ‘B’ gazetted to be 1:20
in CBIC whereas it is 1:2 in CBDT or even more at other places. Nothing has
also been done despite of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">specific
directions <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">of the Principal Bench of
Hon’ble CAT in OA No. 2323/2012 </span></b>to grant parity in promotions with
the intra-organisational counterparts to our Inspectors and Superintendents to
save them from the humiliation of working under the juniors belonging to the
same cadre. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">If implemented, no need to
say that this would also result into the removal of the regional disparities in
promotions</b>. Instead, the CBIC gave a misleading affidavit in the CAT. Such
parity will certainly have a positive impact on the government revenues due to
the feeling of job satisfaction amongst our officers. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">13. Fixing of a
ratio of 13:2:1 for entry into Group ‘A’ is also no way just & fair and is
also contrary to the Para 2.2.2 of DOPT OM No. 20011/1/2008-Estt(D) dt.
11.11.10 mandating fixation of no ratio in the case of small number of
promotional posts as around only 2% promotional posts are available for us
which is too small (As far as the temporary posts of Asstt. Commissioner are
concerned, the same are not included in the RRs and also no further promotion
is available on being promoted against these posts). The CBIC has itself
admitted in the Board meeting of 18.02.11 that the said ratio is insufficient
to address the situation of the stagnation of our officers. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Thus, the promotion to the Group ‘A’ from
Group ‘B’ should be made on the basis of the length of service as Group ‘B’
gazetted officer by doing away with the ratio system as was being done in the
past.<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">14. It is also submit-worthy that the most of the group ‘B’ gazetted
officers including CSS are being <b>promoted to the senior time scale group ‘A’
posts</b> in Central as well as State governments while the Central Excise
Superintendents are allowed to be promoted (if any) merely to a junior group
‘A’ post. The CBIC has done nothing in this regards even in r/o the <b>verdict
given by the Principal Bench of Hon’ble CAT in OA No. 684/2018</b>. Thus, this
issue requires immediate redressal.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">15. The CBIC is already short of revenue under GST due to the shortage of
working hands particularly at Group ‘A’ entry level in comparison to State GST.
The Finance Secretary also observed that Central officers are far behind the
State officers under GST. The observations made by the Finance Secretary are
required to be analysed in r/o manpower, workload per individual and
infrastructure available to our officers in comparison to the State officers to
take due corrective measures under the cadre restructuring or even independent
of it. Sh. B. B. Agarwal, the then Chief Commissioner of Hyderabad Zone, made
the interesting study on this issue which has already been submitted by him to
the CBIC. No need to say that the <b>submissions made by Sh. B. B. Agarwal are
required to be taken seriously in the cadre restructuring</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">16. As on date, CBIC is having 10000 assesses per Range as average.
However, many Ranges are having even upto lacs assesses which is really a
terrible and unworkable situation putting unwarranted burden and tension on our
Superintendents who are already overburdened for the want of the due helping
hands and being always busy in preparing various reports leaving no time for
scrutiny, assessment, show cause notices, adjudication orders etc. or for any
other important work. So, we need to have not more than 500 assessees per Range
alongwith helping hands, if we expect smooth Range working. Likely, there
should be not more than 2500 assesses per Division alongwith sufficient
manpower for smooth working. No need to say that we need equal number or more
manpower particularly at Group ‘A’ entry level for Headquarters offices as well
as sufficiently high manpower for Customs formations. We will require additional
manpower at each level for Anti-evasion/Preventive, Audit</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">,
anti-smuggling, anti-narcotics, seaports, ICDs, airports, SEZs, LCSs<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> etc. work for smooth tax administration. The
Association requests that due care may kindly be taken in the ensuing cadre
restructuring for the same alongwith Customs work to create the sufficient
posts at Group ‘A’ entry level alongwith providing sufficient manpower at
Superintendent, Inspector and lower levels. The posts may also be created at
higher levels as per requirement keeping in strict view that these should not
be less than one third of the relevant feeder level as per govt. guidelines.
These guidelines may also taken care for creating the posts at Group ‘A’ entry
level meant for the promotion of Group ‘B’ gazetted officers. It is also worth
to mention that the Range level offices in the States having around 2000
assessees per unit are manned by 14 to 20 officers including executive,
ministerial and executive staff. Thus, our Range should also be manned by 5
persons at least. Very interestingly, the Range level offices in the States
have also been provided 2 to 3 vehicles (four wheelers) per office.
Accordingly, our Range office should also be provided at least with one vehicle
(four wheeler).<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>17</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">. The State
governments have already upgraded the posts by one rank for their officers. But
no such measures have been taken for our officers despite of the repeated
requests of the Association. Even the pay scale of the Superintendent level
officers is equivalent to the Level-10 for the State GST officers. Thus, <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">the CTOs (the counterparts of our
Superintendents in State GST) have already been re-designated/upgradaed as
Asstt. Commissioner and also already placed in a pay scale equivalent to
Level-10. The posts above the CTOs have further been upgraded in the States as
Deputy Commissioner, Joint Commissioner, Addl. Commissioner and so on. </span>This
has put our officers under a very awkward, demoralizing and embarrassing position
particularly in dealing with the trade which results into weak indirect tax
administration in Centre in comparison to the States. Not only it, we are also
far behind the State officers in the matter of infrastructure. So, the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">upgradation of posts, enhancement of pay
scales and providing of due infrastructure</b> are the instant works to be done
in CBIC even before going for the cadre restructuring. <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">No need to reiterate that the same measures are required to be taken by
CBIC for our officers to avoid them facing the insulting and awkward situation
in comparison to the State officers in the interest of an equally strong tax
administration at Centre.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

As far as the question of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">responsibilities</b> is concerned, the most
burdened categories of officers under the CGST are our Superintendents and
Asstt. Commissioners. Under the cadre restructuring, all grades of the officers
are required to be conferred with the responsibilities in proportion of their
ranks based on monetary limits.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 40.5pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>19. The Section Officers of CSS,
the counterparts of our Superintendents, were granted the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">time scale of Level-10</b> after completion of four years of service
under their cadre restructuring only in 2003 retrospectively w.e.f. 01.01.96.
Unfortunately, this time scale is available to our Superintendents merely in
Level-9. During the ensuing cadre restructuring, our Superintendents should
also be granted the benefit of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">time
scale of Level-10 with the retrospective effect like Section Officers without
offsetting with the MACP upgradation</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 40.5pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>20. Like time scale, our officers
joining as Inspectors should also be granted <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Non-functional Financial Upgradation </b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">(also requiring no creation of posts) </span>at par with the best placed
counterparts like CSS, CBDT, Customs etc. at least to provide them the
financial parity with the said counterparts. This can be done even independent
of the cadre restructuring or as part of the cadre restructuring, being an
issue which has already been recommended at least on four occasions for our
officers. <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">As per the </span>minutes of
the meeting held on 04.03.14 issued vide letter F. No. 8/B/49/HRD(HRM)/2014 Dt.
26.03.14 and dispatched vide No. 1272 to 1275 Dt. 26.03.14, it was said that <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">this position can
be reviewed after one year of the implementation of the cadre restructuring.

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Stagnation Committee headed by Sh.
Balesh Kumar</b> may also be implemented before taking the further steps/action
regarding the ensuing cadre restructuring.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

A <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">separate service</b> for the officers joining the CBIC as Inspector may
also be created on the lines of CSS during the ensuing cadre restructuring
taking into account the temporary posts of Asstt. Commissioner (+additional
posts to be created at Group ‘A’ entry level) and sufficient posts to be
creatted at each level at least upto the grade of Commissioner in proportion of
the strength of CSS. Keeping in view the above mentioned <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">verdict of the Hon’ble CAT in OA No. 684/2018</b> and also considering
that the posts of the Asstt. Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner are
functionally same, our Superintendents may also be promoted directly to STS
post of Deputy Commissioner like many of their counterparts by converting the
above said posts of Asstt. Commissioner to Deputy Commissioner under the
separate service. Likewise, it may also be considered that the posts of the
Joint Commissioner and Addl. Commissioner are functionally same and are not
required to be mentioned separately. Instead the grade of Addl. Commissioner
should be given as time scale in this service. In this regard, it is also worth
to submit that a good number of posts of the Joint Secretary have been kept
reserved for CSS officers in their cadre restructuring. The separate service
for our officers<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> was also recommended
by CBIC vide F.No.A.26017/147 /06-Ad.II.A Dt. 04.01.07 as one of the measures</span>.
The draft RR’s for separate service had already been submitted to the CBIC by
the Association. The separate service for group ‘B’ officers has also been
recommended on various occasions by the CBIC and also by the IRS Officers
Association. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

the Ref. No. 130/AIB/P/23 Dt. 29.09.23 of the Association on the above subject.
The subject-mentioned order of the Hon’ble Central Administrative Tribunal was
also communicated to your goodself vide above Ref. No. but nothing heard from
your good side till date on the matter despite of the <b>time limit ordered by the Hon’ble Central Administrative Tribunal being
expired well ago</b>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto; text-indent: 36.0pt;"><span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">2. It is again submitted with due regards that the pay scale
of the Superintendents of Narcotics Control Bureau was revised to Rs.
7500-12000/- from Rs. 6500-10500/- <b>w.e.f.
01.01.96 with all consequential benefits </b>vide U.O. No. 169/1/2005-IC Dt.
11.04.05 of the Department of Expenditure leading to the issuance of Order F.
No. II/2(38)/2004-Estt. Dt. 20.04.05 by the Narcotics Control Bureau whereas
the pay scale of the Superintendents of Central Excise (now CGST) was revised
to Rs. 7500-12000/- from Rs. 6500-10500/- prospectively w.e.f. 21.04.04, i.e.,
from the date of the issuance of the order vide OM No. 6/37/98-IC Dt. 21.04.04
of the Department of Expenditure. It is worth to mention that <b>both categories of the Superintendents were
similarly positioned on 01.01.96, i.e., on the date of the implementation of
upgraded pay scale for the Superintendents of NCB by a prospective order Dt.
11.04.05. So, both categories should
have been placed in the same pay scale giving equal treatment w.e.f. the date
of the implementation of the Central Civil Service, Revised Pay Rules, 1997,
i.e., w.e.f. 01.01.96. </b>This benefit was given to the Superintendents of NCB
but the Superintendents of Central Excise were discriminated by depriving them
from the same benefit without any reason or justification creating class within
a class.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">3. It is also
worth to submit that the Superintendents of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) were
granted the retrospective benefit despite of the fact that their <b>pay scale was revised even after the
revision of pay scale of Superintendents of Central Excise.</b> The Association
has been continuously raising the demand for implementing the revised pay scale
with retrospective effect instead of 21.04.2004 since very beginning but
nothing has been done till date.<b> </b>It
is further submitted that <b>the
Superintendents in Narcotics Control Bureau were also granted the
non-functional time scale on completion of 4 years of service based on the
precedent of the grant of the same to the Superintendents of Central Excise</b>.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">4. Thus, the pay
scale of Superintendents of Narcotics Control Bureau was revised/upgraded based
on the precedent of the upgradation of pay scale of Superintendents of Central
Excise to bring earlier category at par with the later. Accordingly, the later
category should also be granted the same parity with earlier by giving effect
to the OM No. 6/37/98-IC Dt. 21.04.04 from 01.01.96 for the sake of justice and
equity. The date of implementation of the revised pay scale for Central Excise
Superintendents has been maintained as 21.04.04 and not the date (i.e., 01.01.96)
since when the recommendations of the 5<sup>th</sup> Pay Commission were
implemented. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">5. There exists
an established historic parity and relativity between the Superintendents of
NCB and Superintendents of Central Excise as the nature of duties, mode of
recruitment, functions and responsibilities of these posts are the same. The
Superintendents of Central Excise are also working as Superintendents in NCB
since the creation of NCB. The NCB was also a part of CBEC (now CBIC) under the
Department of Revenue and remained its part till 18.02.03. The Superintendents
of NCB were sharing common seniority with the Superintendents of Central Excise
for promotion to the same post of Group ‘A’ (i.e., Asstt. Commissioner) till
18.02.03. The Allocation of Business Rules, 1961 were amended vide Notification
No. I/22/1/2003-CAB Dt. 18.02.03 [S.O. 193(E)] to include the NCB in the
Ministry of Home Affairs. Even after that, NCB is being monitored by the
CBEC/Department of Revenue and the Superintendents of Central Excise are till
now performing their duties as Superintendents of NCB. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">6. The High
Power Committee formed by the then Hon’ble Finance Minister to look into the
disparity created by the implementation of 5<sup>th</sup> CPC report also
accepted that the Superintendents of Central Excise and the Superintendents of
NCB are at par. Further, the Sixth Pay Commission had categorically observed
vide Para 7.15.20 of its report that the duties & responsibilities attached
to these posts whether in Central Excise or in the Narcotics Control Bureau are
similar and recommended for parity of Inspector of the Central Bureau of Narcotics
with the Inspector of Central Excise. <b>Thus,
both expert bodies, i.e., High Power Committee and Pay Commission, accepted and
recommended that promotional and feeder posts of both categories are at par and
be placed at par in the matter of pay scale.</b> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">7. Therefore,
the pay scale of the Superintendents of Central Excise should have also been
upgraded to Rs. 7500-12000/- w.e.f. 01.01.96 at par with their counterparts in
NCB</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">since when the
recommendations of 5<sup>th</sup> Pay Commission were given effect. As such,
non-grant of enhanced pay scale w.e.f. 01.01.96 is violative of Article 14
& Article 16 of the Constitution of India. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; tab-stops: 72.0pt; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> 8. The denial of the retrospective
revision of pay scale to the Central Excise Superintendents is not correct as
the grave anomaly has arisen on account of the different dates of revision
prescribed by the Department of Expenditure for different categories of
employees. If the pay scale of the counterparts of NCB was revised w.e.f.
01.01.96 by the Department of Expenditure, the prospective revision of pay
scale from 21.04.04 for the Superintendents of Central Excise is gross
injustice to them. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

The anomaly was crept w.e.f. 01.01.96 which should have been removed from the
date of occurrence. The similar upgradation of pay scales in other govt.
departments has been given effect from 01.01.96. Non-effect of pay scale of
Central Excise Superintendents w.e.f. 01.01.96 has resulted in huge monetary
disadvantage in the monthly salary as well as pension to them. The Revised Pay
Rules, 1997 implementing the report of the Vth CPC also came into force w.e.f.
01.01.96 to give effect to the revised pay scale from the same date in
equitable manner. <b>The High Power Committee was also formed to consider and
undo the anomaly crept</b><b> into

The decision to revise the pay scale with prospective effect from 21.04.04
instead of 01.01.96 vide OM F. No. 6/37/98-IC Dt. 21.04.04 has been held <b>“arbitrary and illegal”</b> vide the order dated 17.01.12 passed by
the Hon’ble CAT, Mumbai in the OA No. 86/2008 filed by the Income Tax Gazetted

Various Hon’ble courts including the Hon’ble Supreme Court also have already

<p class="DefaultText1" style="margin-right: -.9pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">12. The
Hon’ble Supreme Court has also given the retrospective benefit along
with arrears to the employees in various cases including <b>SLP (Civil) No. 9832/2013</b> titled as

The Coordinate Bench of the Hon’ble
Central Administrative Tribunal at Ernakulum has also taken the view that the

its order in <b>O.A. No.671/2003</b> on
30.06.06 allowing the benefit of improved pay scale retrospectively w.e.f. 01.01.96 with arrears.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="DefaultText1" style="margin-right: -.9pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">16. The Bombay Bench of the Hon’ble Central Administrative Tribunal
has also given the retrospective benefit
to the employees in <b>O.A. No. 859 of 2004</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="DefaultText1" style="margin-right: -.9pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">17.
Thus, the Superintendents of Central Excise and the other similarly positioned
persons (i.e., Superintendents of NCB) in CBEC had different pay scales for the
period 01.01.96 to 20.04.04 u/5<sup>th</sup> CPC, first having Rs. 6500-10500/-
and later having Rs. 7500-12000/-. The Central Excise Superintendents in CBIC also
have two scales u/5<sup>th</sup> CPC, one effective from 01.01.96 and other
revised scale effective from 21.04.04. A Superintendent retiring on 31.03.04
gets his pension & other retirement benefits calculated on the basis of the
pay scale of Rs. 6500-10500/- whereas another Superintendent retiring on 30<sup>.</sup>04.04
gets his pension & other retirement benefits calculated on the basis of pay
scale of Rs. 7500-12000/-. Thus, it creates a class within a class and seniors
are forced to get less pension than their juniors.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="DefaultText1" style="margin-right: -.9pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">18.
The benefit of upgraded pay scale has been withered down for the Central Excise
Superintendents by the prospective revision due to the loss of due increments
in the upgraded scale for the period from 01.01.96 to 20.04.04. The decision to
make the pay revision effective from 21.04.04 is discriminatory and a deviation
without any legitimate and valid reason. The concerned authorities have not
cited any reason whatsoever for taking a decision at variance from the precedence,
i.e., to give effect to the revised scale from a prospective date (i.e.
21.04.04) and not from the date of implementation (i.e., 01.01.96) of Pay
Commission recommendations and Central Civil Service, Revised Pay Rules, 1997.<o:p></o:p></p>

Your kind attention is also invited to the order (copy already provided) given
by the Hon’ble High Court of Kolkata in WPCT No. 21 of 2015 based on which the
benefit of the OM F. No. 6/37/98-IC Dt. 21.04.04 has been granted
retrospectively from 01.01.96 (copy of CBDT order already provided) to Income
Tax Officers. It is also, however, worth to mention that their case was for
notional benefit whereas our case is for actual benefit. Both cases are on the
same lines except this difference. In their case, a Special Anomaly Committee
was directed to be formed by the Hon’ble High Court to deal with the matter
whereas the competent authority has been directed by the Hon’ble CAT to take
decision by disposing off our representation in our case. Accordingly, our
officers are also required to be given the in-rem benefit of the OM F. No.
6/37/98-IC Dt. 21.04.04 retrospectively on actual basis w.e.f. 01.01.96.<o:p></o:p></p>

Delhi High Court in <b>WP (C) No. 3945/2017</b>
in case of Shailendra Singh & ors vs. Union of India & ors vide order
Dt. 02.12.19 has laid down that once the Govt. had in principle decided to
revise pay scale, the effective date from which the benefits of such revised
pay would accrue would be the date when such benefits became available and not
from the date when their applicability was notified by the particular Ministry
or Department. The relevant portion is as under:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

CPC, Periodically, restructuring is undertaken, pay-scales are introduced and
revised as a result of the recommendations of the PC. However, the actual
implementation of these recommendations gets postponed because in the
individual Departments and Ministries, the necessary changes to the RRS have to
be made and notifications have to be issued All of this postpones the actual
grant of the benefit in that particular Ministry or Department. However, when
it is finally given, the benefit is usually given from the uniform date when
such revised pay-scales were made available, as a result of the recommendations
of the CPC.”<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

There exist so many orders of so many courts including the Hon’ble Supreme
Court that the benefit of such matters is to be given to all similarly
positioned persons. Same has been intended in the National Litigation Policy to
minimise the litigations and not to force all equally placed/positioned persons
to approach the legal courts on the same matter. The Hon’ble Supreme Court has
also ordered the govt. on various occasions to issue the circular to this
effect to minimize the litigations to save the precious time of the Hon’ble
courts and not to force the similarly situated persons to approach the courts. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Karnataka v. C. Lalita (2006) 2 SCC 747, it was held that service jurisprudence

the court would not mean that persons similarly situated should be treated
differently.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

However, some more issues were also raised. Following are the issues-</p><p><b>Cadre Restructuring</b>- Two particular points were raised, <b>treating Level 9 time scale as functional promotion</b> and <b>entry of Inspector at lower level</b>. He noted down the points as the Association opposed these points as our officers will not be able to reach even Level 9 by this, what to say to enter Group A. It was also requested to <b>enhance promotional posts at each level for our officers in Group A</b> and also to consult the Association before the final submission of the proposal to the DOPT. Finally, he asked to submit the representation and meet the Chairman.</p><p><b>Range Reorganisation & workload on Superintendent</b>- The workload being faced by our Superintendents to reorganise the Ranges was brought to his knowledge. It was also requested to enhance <b>manpower in Ranges</b> by adding Inspectors/Ministerial staff. He agreed and asked to submit representation.</p><p><b>Assessment based on monetary limit like State GST and Income Tax for distribution of workload among higher cadres</b>- He agreed and asked to submit representation.</p><p><b>Adjudication orders by Superintendents for higher authorities</b>- He agreed that higher authorities should prepared their adjudication orders on their own. </p><p><b>Show Cause Notices/adjudications/assessments to be issued/done within December</b>- He was requested for extension of the date of the same. He replied that it can be done only by Council and asked to submit the representation. He also asked to be careful about any lapse on this issue.</p><p><b>DPC for the post of Superintendent in Lucknow Zone & other places</b>- He said that every effort is being made for the same. </p><p><b>Tenure of Customs posting</b>- He said that very short postings on these sensitive seats are not in benefit of department. </p><p><b>Addl. post allowance</b>- It was pointed out that Addl. Post Allowance is not being given to the officers in the field formations of CBIC for looking after more than one charges as per DOPT OM. He asked for the copy of the OM. Association said that it would be provided to him alongwith representation.</p><p><b>Designation to MACP holders</b>- He was of the view that it is not possible because there exists no such provision in MACP.</p><p>During the meeting, he also noted the due points.</p><p>Regards to all. </p>cengoindia.blogspot.inhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00525615908338660297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781217974672712507.post-80328619060220600422023-12-12T06:44:00.000-08:002023-12-12T06:44:51.005-08:00Treating 4 years time scale a functional promotion<p> Friends, </p><p>Not a good news on front of cadre restructuring. It's being listened that they are again going to treat grant of 4 years time scale in Level 9 a functional promotion. Promotion means DPC based on available vacancies means not necessary to get it after 4 years of service. Not only it, it also means that no time scale after 4 years after getting scale of Superintendent on account of ACP or MACP upgradation further means to nullify Subramaniam verdict. What our great CBIC authorities actually want to do. Associations have to think what to do. Final outcome of recruitment of Inspector at lower level and treating 4 years time scale a promotion to give so called 3 promotions to Inspectors, whether direct recruit or promotee, will be no MACP upgradation in higher scales after it. So, no officer appointed as Inspector by direct recruitment or promotion will get Level 10 or even Level 9.</p><p>Regards to all</p>cengoindia.blogspot.inhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00525615908338660297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781217974672712507.post-57618888075230967532023-11-28T04:09:00.000-08:002023-11-28T04:09:05.236-08:00Authorised Representatives to present cases before CESTAT<p> </p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: center; text-autospace: none;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 20.0pt;">ALL

with due regards that the Circular No. 951/12/2011-CX Dt. 26.08.11 issued by
the CBIC has designated officers from the rank of Appraisers/Superintendent to
Chief Commissioner as Authorised Representatives (ARs) for presenting the cases
of the department before CESTAT.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">2. But it seems
that no instructions regarding distribution of cases amongst the various ranks
of the officers have been issued by the CBIC for representing before the CESTAT
as has been prescribed by the CBDT for representing before ITAT (Income Tax
Appellate Tribunal) or such instructions are not being followed in CBIC, even
if prescribed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">3. Only the junior
level officers of the rank of Superintendents/Appraisers are being made to present
cases before the CESTAT in CBIC irrespective of the amount involved and also
being much above the monetary limits prescribed by the CBIC for the issuance of
the Show Cause Notices or passing Adjudication Orders and also the complexity
of the cases involved.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">4. The
representation before CESTAT is an important matter where large stake of
revenue is involved. So, it should not be handled by the officers below the Senior
Group ‘A’ like CBDT where the most of the cases for presenting before the ITAT
are handled by the officers of the rank of the Commissioner and Addl.
Commissioner.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

It is further
submitted that all vacancies/posts existing for more than six months are termed
as long-term. It is also worth to mention that the officers can’t be forced to
work on ad-hoc basis against long term vacancies. As per the DOPT guidelines,
ad-hoc posts can exist only for six months, extendable by further six months
only. The posts/vacancies extending beyond it can no way be termed as ad-hoc
and are treated as regular. Accordingly, the officers working on these posts
regularly for more than one year are also to be treated as regular. It is great
injustice to them to treat as working on ad-hoc basis beyond one year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Your kind attention
is also invited to the regularization made and Seniority List of Asstt.
Commissioner issued upto the year 2012-13. In it, retired officers were not
considered seeking one time relaxation from DOPT due to the reasons and
provisions known only to the concerned authorities. As per guidelines, the names
of the retired officers are also required to be considered for the purpose.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

It is also worth to
mention that all ad-hoc promotions to all Group ‘A’ posts above the Asstt./Deputy
Commissioner have already been regularized and the Seniority Lists issued.
However, the officers who have been promoted from Group ‘B’ and working as
ad-hoc Asstt./Deputy Commissioners are forced to retire as “ad-hoc” without any
fault on their part for the want of regularization despite of being worked on
long-term posts. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

It is also mentioned
further that the officers are being promoted to the temporary posts of Asstt.
Commissioner as per the provisions of the Recruitment Rules of IRS. ‘Post’ defined
under these rules includes both, temporary and regular. However, the officers
are being promoted as ‘ad-hoc’ against both posts whether it is regular or
temporary. So, officers promoted against regular as well as temporary posts are
required to be regularized.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the letter HRM-I/Pol/CRR/1/1/2021-Pol/RR-O/OADG-HRM-I-DGHRD-Delhi Dt. 09.11.23
of HRD, CBIC on the above subject. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The
Association was of firm belief that it would be invited for the due
deliberations on the subject matter but unfortunately the same didn’t happen
due to the reasons known to the concerned authorities only</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">2. It is further
submitted with due regards that it is very unfortunate to dump the earlier cadre
restructuring proposal started five years ago in which a separate Indian
Revenue Service consisting posts upto the level of Commissioner was proposed
for the officers joining as Inspector, direct recruit or promotee. As evident
from the above referred letter, the concerned authorities now seem to have the
mindset and firm determination that the lower officers shouldn’t enter Group
‘A’. The authorities want to retire them at the lower levels only without
providing them any future prospects<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">.
They also seem of the mindset that the earlier authorities, who were
instrumental to prepare the earlier proposal, didn’t apply their mind or were
not having mind et al. Such things to suppress and discriminate the lower
cadres can happen in CBIC only.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none; text-indent: 36.0pt; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">3. The Association overwhelmingly opposes and condemns the idea to stop direct
recruitment at Pay Level-7 and shift it to Pay Level-4. Such thing exists in no
other department or ministry of Govt. of India. Rather Inspector level officers
recruited in Pay Level-7, analogous counterparts of our Inspectors, are
promoted directly to Group ‘A’ posts in IB, CBI etc. as DCIO, DSP etc. having
no direct recruitment in Group ‘A’ service. Likewise, the Hindi Translators
recruited in Pay Level-7 are directly promoted to the Group ‘A’ post of Asstt.
Director (including in our CBIC). It is clear mockery to whole system and
Indian youths aspiring in crores to be recruited at Inspector level in CBIC at
Pay Level-7 to stop direct recruitment at Pay Level-7 in CBIC. <b>Better option
is to stop direct recruitment et al in Indian Revenue Service in CBIC and fill
up the vacancies from the lower cadres to provide well experienced and expert
hands to the service instead of direct recruited raw hands at Pay Level-10. </b>This
is already prevalent in many developed countries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

It is really
unfortunate that the concerned authorities are adopting such discriminatory and
suppressing tactics to force the lower cadres not to enter Group ‘A’ instead of
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">bringing measures to mitigate the
stagnation of Group ‘B’ executive officers independent of cadre restructuring
also as recommended by the Cabinet in 2013</b>. It seems that our CBIC has more
powerful authorities even than the Cabinet who are pleased to ignore even the
recommendations of the Cabinet of India.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

that the meeting was held under Employee Grievance Redressal Mechanism to
redress the grievances of the employees but unfortunately no grievance was

No decision has been taken and mentioned in the minutes against any of the
points. Only the points submitted by the associations/federations have been
narrated instead of taking any decision or action to be taken. Not only it, the
name of this association (AIACTGEO) has not been mentioned correctly in the
narration, only Superintendents Association has been mentioned. A few points
raised by this association are also missing in the minutes or misplaced with
the name of other association. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

of the decisions against the points is of no use. Such meetings without mention
of the decision against the points or without redressal of the grievances are
proved merely a futile and time wasting exercise not only for administration
but also for the employees. At least, the minutes should have been circulated
to the concerned sections and field formations directing them to take necessary
action on the points/grievances. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

taken into consideration and no decision taken on any of the points except the
narration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

There exist so many orders of so many courts including the Hon’ble Supreme
Court that the benefit of such matters is to be given in-rem to all similarly
positioned officers. Same has been intended in the National Litigation Policy
to minimise the litigations and not to force all equally placed/positioned
persons to approach the legal courts on the same matter. The Hon’ble Supreme
Court has ordered the govt. on various occasions to issue the circular to this
effect to minimize the litigations to save the precious time of the Hon’ble
courts and not to force the similarly situated persons to approach the courts. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Karnataka v. C. Lalita (2006) 2 SCC 747, it was held that service jurisprudence
evolved by the courts from time to time postulates that all persons similarly
situated should be treated similarly. Only because one person has approached
the court would not mean that persons similarly situated should be treated
differently.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

entire class of employees who are similarly situated are required to be given

He was a
reputed and sensitive officer but was repeated to a non-sensitive charge
against the policy by putting star mark against his name. This demoralised and
humiliated him because of his reputation being brought down. The star mark was
removed later after his death. It is not understood how administration can be
so insensitive and indifferent forcing our officer to take such extreme step. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Our
officers are already working under tremendous pressure due to over work,
shortage of working hands, shortage of infrastructure, inefficient system
software/AIO, every minute futile reports, the poorest career prospects etc.
Every responsibility has been imposed on Superintendents instead of making
equitable work distribution among all cadres like Income Tax and State GST.
There is no revenue related work assigned to Commissioner and above in GST but
they are enjoying 8-9 promotions in the career and headship/membership of any
commission/tribunal after retirement. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Transfer/postings guidelines are not being followed. Their ego is more
important to the concerned authorities instead of following the norms. They
behave merely like administrative heads instead of family heads without
understanding that they are our welfare officers also. Their behavior is
totally high-handed and inhumane. Every Chief Commissioner/Commissioner molds
the guidelines as per his/her individual pleasure without thinking impartially
about the stake holders. This is not kept in the mind that now in “on line work
system” sensitive and non-sensitive postings have lost the meaning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

request of the Association to update the DPC for promotion to the post of Asstt.
Commissioner. Convening three DPCs in a year is really a great and historic
work done by CBIC and HRD of CBIC under your kind control. The matter was being
pursued by the Association since very long. The Association hopes that now
every DPC for the post of Asstt. Commissioner will be convened timely as per
the </span>calendar<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> year like other DPCs being held for Group ‘A’ posts in CBIC.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

It is further submitted with due
regards that the All India Seniority List for the post of Central Excise/CGST
Superintendents is available only upto 2013 with the CBIC which also requires
to be updated as we are 10 years behind in this matter. Not only it, the
seniority list is required to be updated and circulated every year. The
Association has been requesting since long for the updation of the seniority list
also alongwith many other issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Inviting your kind attention to
the Half Yearly Brochure published by HRD of CBIC on 28.08.23 showing
sanctioned and working strength and vacancy position in different grades under
CBIC as on 01.07.23, it is submitted that total number of vacant posts of AC/DC
have been shown as 1525, whereas the last DPC has been conducted on 04.10.23
only for 532 posts of Asstt. Commissioner. It means 993 posts of Asstt. Commissioner/Deputy
Commissioner still remain vacant. It is also worth to submit that all of the
remaining vacancies can no way belong to post of Deputy Commissioner. So,
remaining posts of Asstt. Commissioner as shown vacant in the said brochure are
also required to be filled-up to update the promotions to the post of Asstt.

It is submitted with due regards that the pay scale of the Superintendents of
Central Excise (now CGST), Superintendents of Customs, Appraisers of Customs and
Income Tax Officers was revised to Rs. 7500-12000/- from Rs. 6500-10500/- and
also of Inspectors of Central Excise, Preventive Officers of Customs, Examiners
of Customs and Income Tax Inspectors to Rs. 6500-10500/- from Rs. 5500-9000/- prospectively

6/37/98-IC Dt. 21.04.04 of the Department of Expenditure. It is worth to
mention that the said order should have been implemented w.e.f. the date of the
implementation of the Central Civil Service, Revised Pay Rules, 1997, i.e.,
w.e.f. 01.01.96, since when the recommendations of the 5<sup>th</sup> Central Pay
Commission were implemented.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b><o:p></o:p></span></p>

by the then Finance Minister to look into the disparity/anomaly created by the
implementation of 5<sup>th</sup> CPC report recommended to place the Superintendents
of Central Excise, Superintendents of Customs, Appraisers of Customs and Income
Tax Officers in the pay scale of Rs. 7500-12000/- instead of Rs. 6500-10500/- and
also Inspectors of Central Excise, Preventive Officers of Customs, Examiners of
Customs and Income Tax Inspectors in the pay scale Rs. 6500-10500/- instead of
Rs. 5500-9000/-.<span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> It is reiterated that the above mentioned High Power Committee was

The benefit of the upgraded pay scale has been withered down for all of above
mentioned similarly positioned categories by the prospective revision due to
the loss of due increments in the upgraded scale for the period from 01.01.96
to 20.04.04. The decision to make the pay revision effective from 21.04.04 is
discriminatory in r/o all of the similarly positioned officers falling under
the above mentioned categories. It is a deviation without any legitimate and
valid reason. The concerned authorities have not cited any reason whatsoever
for taking a decision at variance from the precedence, i.e., to give effect to
the revised scale from a prospective date and not from the date of
implementation of Pay Commission recommendations and Central Civil Service,
Revised Pay Rules, 1997.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

6/37/98-IC Dt. 21.04.04 has been granted retrospectively from 01.01.96 to 13
Income Tax Officers. All officers affected by the OM F. No. 6/37/98-IC Dt.
21.04.04 are equally positioned and should have be given the in-rem benefit of
the decision of the Hon’ble High Court of Kolkata/special anomaly committee by
retrospective implementation of above OM w.e.f. 01.01.96. The concerned
authorities have not cited any reason whatsoever not to grant the benefit to
all other similarly positioned officers affected by OM F. No. 6/37/98-IC Dt.
21.04.04. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

There exist so many orders of so many courts including the Hon’ble Supreme
Court that the benefit of such matters is to be given in-rem to all similarly
positioned officers. Same has been intended in the National Litigation Policy
to minimise the litigations and not to force all equally placed/positioned
persons to approach the legal courts on the same matter. The Hon’ble Supreme
Court has ordered the govt. on various occasions to issue the circular to this
effect to minimize the litigations to save the precious time of the Hon’ble
courts and not to force the similarly situated persons to approach the courts. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Your kind attention is also invited to the order on the issue given by the

Hon’ble CAT has specifically ordered that the benefit of upgraded pay scales is

same or not as under-<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Karnataka v. C. Lalita (2006) 2 SCC 747, it was held that service jurisprudence
evolved by the courts from time to time postulates that all persons similarly
situated should be treated similarly. Only because one person has approached the
court would not mean that persons similarly situated should be treated
differently.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

entire class of employees who are similarly situated are required to be given
the benefit of the decision whether or not they were parties to the original
writ. This principle has been upheld by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in this case

21.04.04 with all consequential benefits with due interest at the rate of at
least interest of GPF. It is also requested to give an appointment to the
Association to enable making the due submissions in person for more clarity. It
is also submitted with due regards that it would be the contempt of the Hon’ble
Supreme Court, if the due benefit is not given to all similarly situated
officers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
