Dear friends,
good morning.
As reported, the programme of 12.02.14 &
13.02.14 was not observed by many units. It may be perhaps due to time
constraint or not having the habit of opening the mails daily. All are again
requested not only to open the mails but also go through cengoindia.blogspot.in daily for updation. We all have also to
understand that we can achieve our goals only by strong, effective &
united agitation, otherwise there is no hope for us. Our goal is not to
retire merely as AC but it is to enter into PB4 like in remote past and like
other counterparts at present.
The copy of the Notice served upon the FM
with copy to other authorities is posted below which is self
explanatory. All the units have to present the roses (2 or 3 in bunch) to the
respective CCA's on Excise day. The presentation as posted below is also
to be enclosed with the roses to present it to the CCA. We have to act
immediately and defeat the time.
Love,
Ravi Malik.

2. As you know, it
is submitted with due regards that the celebration of Central Excise day
was started on the demand of Central Excise executive staff. But very
unfortunately, nothing is left to celebrate in the life of these poor officers
in relation of career, pay or any other service matter. Despite of total
demoralisation, disappointment, job dissatisfaction, demotivation &
frustration, the revenue targets are regularly being achieved above the set
goals by the sincere efforts of these officers, i.e., Superintendents &
Inspectors of Central Excise. Under the present circumstances, these officers
are forced to retire at a PB2 post after only one promotion in the service
career while their common entry counterparts are easily enjoying PB4 levels
after getting 5-6 promotions. These officers are getting promotion (if any)
merely to Junior Time Scale while their counterparts of CPWD, CSS etc. to
Senior Time Scale. The employee grievance redressal mechanism has totally
failed. These poor officers are also forced to work under the
extreme juniors of Customs belonging to the same cadre. If career
prospects were disclosed at the time of recruitment, these officers would have
never joined this job. Instead of taking some positive measures in r/o of their career prospects, the CBEC is
planning to increase the residency period and reduce the promotion quota for
these officersto limit them within the post of Superintendent.
3. Nobody is worried about this actual workforce
of CBEC. The direct IRS officers have been ensured upto 9 promotions to upgrade
them within the standard residency periods prescribed by DOPT by creating the
posts at Apex, HAG+ etc. levels in higher scales even without availability of
the eligible officers but no measures are being taken for the Central Excise
Superintendents & Inspectors to promote/upgrade them within the standard
residency periods prescribed by DOPT. The Income Tax Inspectors and the Assistants
of CSS under the Department of Revenue are also able to reach the post of
Commissioner and Joint Secretary. The Central Excise Inspector, whether direct
or promotee, was also reaching the level of Commissioner or above in the remote
past but the things have been distorted in such a way in the CBEC that he/she
is forced to retire merely on the post of Superintendent now barring 1%. The
CBEC is even unable to conduct the DPC for promotions at prescribed intervals
vide DOPT guidelines. Last DPC for group B to group A was conducted in June, 11
around 32 months ago instead of yearly basis with advance panel but nobody is
worriedin CBEC about it. No seriousness is also being shown to implement the
cadre restructuring already notified two months ago.
4. In view of the above, the
Central Excise Cadre Controlling Authorities under CBEC will be presented roses
on Excise day by the Association congratulating &
wishing 9 promotions in the career and also the post-retirement
membership/chairpersonship in any authority/commission/tribunal for all direct
IRS officers throughout India. The next step/s will be intimated in the due
course.

you,
