To,
Ms. Praveen Mahajan,
The Chairperson,
CBEC,
North Block, New Delhi.
Sub: Staff grievances.
Madam,
Kindly refer to the various communications of
the Association made on various issues to the various authorities including
your goodself.
2. It is submitted with due regards that the Association was very
much hopeful with great zeal at the time of your goodself joining as Member and
also as Chairperson of the CBEC that a new miraculous era would start to
redress all grievances of the staffside. But unfortunately perhaps due to the
things not being placed before you by the concerned sections in correct
perspective, the fate of the staffside particularly the Central Excise
Superintendents remained unchanged. As far as the temporary posts of Asstt.
Commissioner created in the cadre restructuring are concerned, these would
serve no good to save the sinking career & existence of these ill-fated officers
because the officers promoted against these posts will not be entitled for
further promotion. This all happened despite of your honest & sympathetic
attitude and also the enthusiasm to work for us. Even the grievances, which could be redressed at the level of CBEC
itself, remained unresolved. Some of the grievances are listed below in the
expectation of being redressed during your remaining tenure as the Chairperson
of the CBEC-
1. Implementation
of the CBEC circular issued vide F. No. A-26017/44/94-Ad II(A) Dt. 08.03.95 under the signature of Sh. Dharmvir Gupta, one of the then

3. The Association
is still hopeful that all of the grievances of the staffside may be redressed
during your tenure. Many of the grievances are very well within the powers of
CBEC itself which may be redressed immediately, if the will power to this
effect is used. These grievances also include the points raised before your
goodself in very first meeting during your stint as the Member (P&V) but
the same remain unredressed till date despite of the positive assurance given
by you. Regarding many other issues also, positive assurances were given by
various authorities including the current Member (P&V) but the same are
still unredressed. Other issues, which are not straightway under the powers of
CBEC, may be strongly recommended to the concerned/nodal department.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary
General.
