Sub: DPC against the vacancies of Asstt. Commissioner.
Sir,
It
is submitted with due regards that the CBEC is going to conduct the DPC for ad
hoc promotions from the Addl. Commissioner to Commissioner level on the ground
of revenue drive.
2.
It is further submitted that the actual officers instrumental for revenue drive
at group ‘A’ level in CBEC are the Asstt. Commissioners instead of
Commissioners. The Commissioners work only at administrative seats and also do
other jobs like appeal, adjudication etc. without being posted at divisional
levels in the field formations. On the other hand, the Asstt. Commissioners
work at divisional levels actually responsible for revenue collection at group
‘A’ level at field formations. 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. This extraordinary (441 against sanctioned strength of 949)
vacant position at Asstt. Commissioner level is also the sole reason of CBEC
being far behind of the revenue target fixed for the current financial year.
The above said figures of vacancies should have even increased as on date on
account of some more retirements after December, 12. No such alarming situation
seems to exist at the level of executive Commissioner who has only the
administrative control on the divisions. Thus, the vacancies of Asstt.
Commissioner instead of Commissioners are required to be filled up immediately
from the angle of revenue drive.
3.
In view of the above, it is requested that the DPC for promotion from
Superintendent to Asstt. Commissioner may kindly be conducted prior to the DPC
for promotion to the post of Commissioner in CBEC. It is not only required from
the angle of revenue collection but also from the angle of acute stagnation of
the Superintendents being retired every month without promotion.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.

To,
Sh. P. Chidambaram,
The Hon’ble Minister of Finance,
North Block, New Delhi.
Sub: Working on
holidays.
Sir,
It is submitted with due regards
that the staffside is being forced to attend the offices on holidays in Service
Tax & Central Excise Commissionerates. Not only it but they are also being
threatened of punitive actions in case of not being able to attend the office
on holidays due to their compelling circumstances which is mere example of mass
harassment to the staff. Very recently, Central Excise Commissioner has ordered
the staff to attend the offices on Saturdays & Sundays and also on other
holidays in Visakhapatnam.
2. It is further submitted that
there exist no statutory provisions to force the staff to work on holidays.
More disappointingly, they are also being threatened of punitive actions
despite of the fact that they have always worked in the most obedient manner
for CBEC. Our authorities have forgotten that we are living in the greatest
democracy of the world. They are happy to issue undemocratic orders to suppress
the staffside which reminds only of the English time.
3. As your goodself knows that the
five days week in the Central Govt. was started by a Cabinet decision which can
never be overruled by any administrative instruction. The officers are already
demoralized, job-dissatisfied & de-motivated due to the lack of promotional
avenues, working conditions, basic amenities, required facilities etc. and also
non-grant of requisite pay deals. They are further humiliated by forcing to
work on holidays instead of undoing the injustice being faced by them for
decades on above counts. Further crushing them will serve no purpose but
collapse the system. The five days working in the Central Govt. offices
replacing six days was started enabling the officers to get proper rest and
start the work with fresh energy & zeal after 2 days relaxation to increase
the efficiency. This also enabled them to give sufficient time to their
families and dispose of their personal/family related obligations in more
efficient and relaxed manner.
4. It is also worth to mention that
the officers are being paid for the fixed hours/days per month. Forcing them to
work for extra more days in the month without paying extra
wages/incentive/compensation is no-way justified and is totally unlawful
causing unwarranted litigations. Any emergent situation in the rare
circumstances for a day in the year can be understood in the public interest
but such type of orders can never be issued in routine in undemocratic manner
to suppress the staffside. The staffside have always been cooperating the administration
willingly in the most obedient manner but to force something on them in illegal
manner and further threaten them of punitive action is noway justified.
Moreover, the forced extra office work shall never increase the revenue.
5. In view of the above, it is
requested that the CBEC may kindly be directed to withdraw the said orders of
forcing the staff to attend the offices on holidays to protect them from
further humiliation. The CBEC rather should undo the injustice already being
faced by the Inspectors & Superintendents in r/o promotions, pay matters,
working conditions etc. grating them the opportunity to live with dignity and
make progress.
Thanking you,
Yours
faithfully,
(RAVI
MALIK),
Secretary
General.
