CENGO INDIA

27 YEARS OF STRUGGLE  OF AIACEGEO.

(All India Association of Central Excise Gazetted Executive Officers  was formed in 1987).
 AIACEGEO  began its journey in April, 1987  from the historic city of Patna. It was a challenging time for us because of framing of Gr-A Recruitment Rules by CBEC arbitrarily  depriving the benefits to Central Excise Officers in inducting Gr-A and allowing more benefits to Customs Appraisers.  With undaunted spirit we put our heads and hands together for the following common objectives:
* To uphold the dignity of our service ,
*To foster a spirit of cooperation and "espirit de corps" among our members ,
 *To promote and safeguard the common interest of our members ,
 *To move for the redressal of legitimate grievances of our members concerning,
  pay, promotion, career prospects, status, service conditions, retirement benefits  etc.
 *To work in coordination with similar service associations if necessary ,
  *To forward interest of our members without bias of caste, creed and religion .

Initially this was a federative body of the associations at the Zonal level, and was named as "All India Federation of Central Excise  Gazetted Executive Officers".   After the promulgation of the Recognition of Service Association   Rules 1993, by the Govt. of India, the name of our Association has been
changed to "ALLINDIA ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL EXCISE GAZETTED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS" (AIACEGEO).

Presently our  Association has 39 units all over India. The AIACEGEO has been recognised under F.NO.B. 12017/10/2006-Ad.IV A dated 21.01.08  initially for three years up to 20.01.2011 and thereafter for 5 years up to 20.01.2016 under the Recognition of  Service Association Rules 1993. Our Association has a democratic set-up, which has already stood  the test of 21 Associate Committee Meetings in our 27 years of existence. The first AEC meeting was held at Patna ( thereafter once in Cochin,thrice in Chenai, once in Bhubaneswar,once in Bangalore, twice in Patna, twice in Guntur,once in Kolkata, twice in Pune/ Lunavilla, once in Daman, once in Agra, Once in Kanpur, once in Noida, twice in Jaipur,once in Ludhiana)  Ours is a history of struggle for the common good. With overwhelming support   of around 11,500 members we can be hopeful of a better and stronger future of our Association.

 This monolithic association of over more than 11,500 members are having the vision to set up a strong   Association to protect the interests of members. The strength of the association is well demonstrated by the fact that it has traveled 27 long  years and celebrated  silver jubilee during 2011 . At the national  there is an Associate Committee  consisting 22 members (10 Vice Presidents, 10 Joint Secretaries, President &  Secretary General )and the committee is also assisted by Office Secretary and Treasurer. At the regional  level the association is  run by a team of  regional committee members.  All the units are independent up to zonal level.  In the Associate Committee Meeting of our Association  held  at  Patna during 25.05.13 & 26.05.13 it has been interalia decided that “ no  unit should approach Board directly on local and all India issues. As per the provisions of  our constitution  all units are independent up to Chief Commissioner levels only . Board has already clarified that no representation should be submitted by any unit directly and this should be submitted through AIB only. A resolution has already been adopted in our Associate  Executive Committee  Meeting that for any matter our Units should not approach any authority beyond their respective Chief Commissioner”.    All  Superintendents of Central Excise, Customs and Service Tax  Department are members  of the Association.   We are a part of  Confederation of Central Government Gazetted Officers & Coordinating Committee of Federation/Association in the Department of Revenue  The objective of this blog post  is to keep  members informed about the latest developments having a bearing on   their career and service matters.  The views expressed in this blog post are only opinions and they should not be construed as official version of the  Department or Government.  This is only an educative and organizational blog post and the contents cannot be taken as legal authorities.
