Ms. Praveen
Mahajan,
The Chairperson, CBEC,
North Block, New Delhi.
Sub: Cadre Restructuring of CBEC.
Madam,
It is submitted with due regards
that the meeting of the Cadre Review Committee, as you know, is scheduled for
27.08.13.
2. Originally; the new strength
of AC/DC was proposed to be 4896 replacing 1550 (existing) which was later on
reduced to only 3600 by DOPT but again enhanced to 4168 (2050 permanent+2118
temporary) by the Hon’ble Finance Minister. But very unfortunately, the DOPT is
adamant only to agree for the additional 500 permanent posts and opposing 2118
temporary posts. Not only it, DOPT is adamant to fill up 50% posts by direct
recruitment and 50% by promotions in staggered manner instead of one go. It
means that only 1% of the officers joining the job as Inspector of Central Excise
would be able to enter the junior group ‘A’ at the fag end of the career and
retire immediately like present.
3. No heed is being paid to
remove the stagnation of acutely stagnated Central Excise Superintendents &
Inspectors despite of 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 mitigate the stagnation of the stagnated
employees.
4. In view of above, it is
requested that-
i) No cut may kindly be agreed
to any post (temporary or permanent). Agreeing to any cut means that CBEC
is not in the functional requirement of the posts being proposed for last 3
years. By it, it would be inferred by CRC that the CBEC proposal was based on a
lie only.
ii) All the posts may kindly be
filled only by promotions like the last cadre restructuring, otherwise again it will be inferred by CRC
that CBEC is not in actual functional requirement of the posts. Also the
extraordinarily acute stagnation of Central Excise Superintendents will
increase instead of decrease and, thus, the sole purpose of removing the stagnation
by cadre restructuring will be defeated. It was also committed by the
CBEC during the presentation made on cadre restructuring on 18.01.11 that no
direct recruitment would be made to IRS for more than 1 years which will again
be inferred as a lie.
iii) All the posts/vacancies
(newly created and cascaded downwards on account of promotions on higher posts)
may kindly be filled in one go like the
last cadre restructuring, otherwise
again it will be inferred by CRC that CBEC is not in actual functional requirement
of the posts.
iv) Specific
measures may also kindly be devised independent of cadre
restructuring for acutely stagnated Central Excise Superintendents/Inspectors
to grant them parity with their common entry counterparts of CBDT, CSS etc.
enabling them also to attain PB4 levels and
v) No direct recruitment may also kindly be made to IRS at least for
next 5 years after the implementation of cadre restructuring particularly
keeping in view the extraordinarily acute stagnation of Central Excise
Superintendents/Inspectors.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI

Sub: Cadre Restructuring of CBEC.
Sir,
Kindly refer to the
following communications of the Association-
i) Ref.
No. 77/12 Dt. 07.06.12,
ii) Ref. No. 192/CR/13 Dt. 02.07.13,
iii) Ref. No.
205/CR/13 Dt. 09.07.13 etc.
iv) Alongwith the
submissions made twice in person.
2. It is further submitted with
due regards that the meeting of the Cadre Review Committee to be headed by your
goodself is scheduled for 27.08.13. As already submitted, the Central Excise
Superintendents are forced to retire on PB2 post without further promotion in
the service career of 35-40 years while their common entry counterparts are
getting 5/6 promotions attaining easily the PB4 levels. Even ACPS/MACPS is
unable to undo this injustice. Not only it, the most of group ‘B’ gazetted
officers are promoted to a STS post while Central Excise Superintendents are
promoted (if any) merely to a JTS post (the
promotion of Central Excise Superintendents to a STS post was also recommended
to 6th CPC by the CBEC but the same CBEC is now back tracking on it).
The Central Excise Superintendents are also forced to work under their extreme juniors of Customs belonging to
same cadre.
3. It is also worth to submit
that the IRS officers of CBEC were granted parity with their common entry
counterparts of CBDT in last cadre restructuring and they are going to get
parity with other better placed common entry group ‘A’ counterparts in the
ongoing one. But no parity with common entry counterparts like CBDT, CSS etc.
has been considered for Central Excise Superintendents/Inspectors which is very
well possible by adopting the measures like-
a) time bound promotions/scales (time scales after every 5 years were also
recommended by CBEC to 6th CPC but now CBEC itself is back tracking
on the issue),
b) notional promotions,
c) creation of supernumerary
posts,
d) creation of separate service (it was also recommended by CBEC to 6th
CPC but now it is also being back tracked by them),
e) direct promotion to higher
post/s,
f) upgradation of posts,
g) in-situ promotions (requiring no creation of posts) and/or
h) any other specific measure/s
including batch to batch non-functional
upgradation (on the lines of DOPT OM No. AB.14017/64/2008-Estt.(RR) dt.
24.04.09 granting NFU to other group ‘A’ officers at par with IAS) and
i) re-framing the
recruitment rules without trifurcating a single cadre of
Inspector/Superintendent prescribing the qualifying service in consonance of the DOPT OM No.
AB-14017/61/2008-Estt.(RR) dt. 24.03.09 which stipulates the promotion
of the grade of Inspector to the grade of Joint Commissioner, Additional
Commissioner & Commissioner after completion of 12, 17 & 20 years of
service respectively. The validity of this OM was also admitted by CBEC
during the presentation of cadre restructuring proposal on 18.01.11 but they
showed their inability to implement it due to the want of the required number
of vacancies/posts. Therefore, the required number of posts may kindly be
created to implement the OM or the officers may even be granted in-situ
promotions requiring no creation of
posts independent of cadre restructuring.
4. No heed has been paid to
remove the stagnation of acutely stagnated Central Excise Superintendents/Inspectors
despite of 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 mitigate the stagnation of the stagnated employees. Originally;
the new strength of Asstt./Deputy Commissioner was proposed to be 4896 replacing
1550 (existing) which was later on reduced only to 3600 by DOPT but again enhanced
to 4168 (2050 permanent+2118 temporary) by the Hon’ble Finance Minister. But
very unfortunately, now the DOPT is agreeing only to additional 500 permanent
posts (300 Asstt. Commissioner and 200 Deputy Commissioner) and opposing 2118
temporary posts (919 Asstt. Commissioner and 1199 Deputy Commissioner). Not
only it, they are saying that the 50% of the new posts would be filled by the
direct recruitment and 50% by promotions in staggered manner instead of one go.
It means that only 1% of the officers joining the job as Inspector of Central
Excise would be able to enter the junior group ‘A’ at the fag end of the career
and retire immediately like present having no change in their extraordinarily
acute stagnation.
5. In view of above, it is
requested that-
i) No cut may kindly be made to any post (temporary or permanent),
ii) Temporary posts may kindly be
converted to permanent,
iii) All the posts may kindly be
filled only by promotions like the last
cadre restructuring (as was also committed by the CBEC during the
presentation made on cadre restructuring on 18.01.11 that no direct recruitment
would be made to IRS for more than 1 years),
iv) All the posts/vacancies
