Sub: March to FM residence on 12.04.13 and mass resignations on 30.04.13-intimation reg.
Sir,
Kindly refer to the Ref. No. 93/A/12 Dt. 31.12.12, 27/H/13 Dt. 04.03.13, 33/A/12 Dt. 18.03.13 and 34/A/12 Dt. 19.03.13 of the Association.  
2. It is submitted with due regards that our officers are retiring in PB2 after getting only one promotion in the service career while other common entry counterparts of ours are retiring in PB4 after getting 5-6 promotions. We are deprived of the appropriate pay scale/pay band & grade pay and facing the worst career prospects. Our officers are getting promotion (if any) merely to Junior Time Scale while other counterparts of CPWD, CSS etc. are getting to Senior Time Scale. The employee grievance redressal mechanism has totally failed. We are forced to work under the extreme juniors of Customs belonging to the same cadre. All of our officers are totally demoralised and have nothing to be job-satisfied or motivated. If career prospects were disclosed in the recruitment advertisement, we would have never joined this job. The rights to grow, make progress and live with dignity have been snatched from us. There is no change in the scenario till date despite of the decades-long representations, pleadings and requests of the Association and also our duties being performed by us like the most obedient & responsible employees. It is, therefore, intimated that-
 (i) The officers from all over India will gather at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on 12.04.13 at 11 a.m. in their uniform and proceed to gather around the residence of your goodself to submit the Memorandum. 
(iii) All of our officers throughout the country will submit their resignations on 30.04.13 under protest.
3. The charter of the demands is enclosed herewith.               
Thanking you,                                                                         
Yours faithfully,

Encl: Charter of demands.
 (RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
Copy with the request for necessary action to-
1) The MOS, Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, North Block, New Delhi.
2) The Secretary, Department of Revenue, North Block, New Delhi.
3) The Chairperson, CBEC, North Block, New Delhi.
