Dt. 13.03.13

The Member (P&V),
CBEC, North Block,
New Delhi.
Sub: Offsetting of ACP upgradation with time scale.
Madam,
Kindly refer to-
i) the earlier Ref. No. 18/OS/13 Dt. 18.02.13 of the Association,
ii) the letter C. No. II (24) /4/ET/CCO/SH/2011/47-56 Dt. 04.01.13 o/o the Chief Commissioner
(Shillong Zone),
iii) the discussions held on the issue during the meeting of 31.01.13,
iv) the Establishment Order No. 53/2013 regarding MACP upgradation issued vide C. No. –II-34(09)
CCU/MACP/2012/22358-383 Dt. 06.03.13 o/o Chief Commissioner (DZ) of Central Excise and
v) also the letter F.No.23011/29/2010-Ad.IIA Dt. 20.05.11 of CBEC.
2. It is submitted with due regards that nothing has been done by CBEC even after the expiry of 6
weeks after the issue being raised before your goodself on 31.01.13. The officers are already on the verge of
recovery due to this inaction as the Chief Commissioner office of Delhi Zone has also made the orders for
recovery vide above referred Establishment Order No. 53/2013. The problem was started at Shillong,
reached Chennai & Delhi and is further expected to spread throughout India for the want of the due
directions from CBEC. It is very unfortunate that the Board directions are not being obeyed by the field
formations. If such act of disobedience was committed by any of our officers (Superintendent or Inspector or
lower cadre), he would have been charge-sheeted or suspended.
3. In CBDT, even the MACP upgradation is not being offset with the time scale as was
communicated to your goodself vide the Ref. No. 01/MACP/13 Dt. 04.01.13 of the Association with the
request to issue the orders with the same effect in CBEC too. But it seems that the said communication of the
Association has also been dumped in some corner of the concerned section as per the existing practice
forcing our officers to suffer on account of this inaction.
4. The officers are not being granted the due benefit under ACP/MACP scheme and the IInd ACP
upgradation is being offset with time scale with the orders of recovery placing the officers under lower grade
pays despite of the clarification issued by CBEC vide its above referred letter F.No.23011/29/2010-Ad.IIA
Dt. 20.05.11. It has very categorically been clarified under para 4 & 5 of the above said letter of CBEC that
ACP upgradation would not be offset with time scale.
5. It is also worth to submit that your goodself has always been asking the Association not to go for
litigation on any issue but it is very unfortunate that the staffside is forced every time to go for unwarranted
litigation against the denial of due benefits due to the said inaction.
6. In view of the above, it is requested that the field formations may kindly be directed to implement
the letter F.No.23011/29/2010-Ad.IIA Dt. 20.05.11 of CBEC.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.

The Member (P&V),
CBEC, North Block,

Sub: DPC against the existing vacancies of Asstt. Commissioner.
Madam,
It is submitted with due regards that the contempt petitions filed in the Hon’ble Supreme Court
by the Customs personnel and Pune Unit of the Association in C.A. No. 1198/05 and C.W.P. No. 385/
10 have attained the finality yesterday on 12.03.13. Thus, now there is no obstacle to make promotions
against the existing vacancies of Asstt. Commissioner.
2. As per the disposition list, 315 vacancies already exist in Central Excise and 126 in Customs
at Asstt. Commissioner level as on 31.12.12. The said figures of vacancies should have even increased
as on date on account of some more retirements after December, 12.
3. In view of the above, it is requested that the DPC for promotion to the post of Asstt.
Commissioner may kindly now be conducted at an early date particularly keeping in view the large
number of retirements of the Superintendents without promotion on regular basis.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
