2. It is again submitted
with due regards that nothing is left to be happy in the life of the Central
Excise Superintendents 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 targets by the sincere, committed & dedicated
efforts of these officers. Under the present circumstances, these officers are
forced to retire at a PB2 post with only single promotion in the service
career after joining as Inspector whereas their common entry counterparts are
easily enjoying PB4 levels after getting 5-6 promotions. The Central Excise
Superintendents are getting promotion (if any) merely to Junior Time Scale
while their counterparts of CPWD, CSS, CSSS, AFHQS, Rajya
Sabha Secretariat
& many others like Administrative Services, Police
Services, Forest Services, Engineering Services, State Services etc. to Senior Time Scale. The
employee grievance redressal mechanism has totally failed as the
authorities have no time to hold meetings with the staffside under this
mechanism. 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 the recruitment, these officers would
have never joined this job.
3. It seems that 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 the 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. Their counterparts of
Income Tax (CBDT) and the Assistants of CSS under the same Department of
Revenue are able to reach the post of Commissioner and Joint Secretary. Almost
all other common entry counterparts of them are also reaching the PB4 levels.
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 now in such a way in the CBEC that he/she is forced to retire merely
on the post of Superintendent after one promotion barring 1%. The CBEC is even unable
to conduct the DPC for promotions from group B to group A at prescribed
intervals for this 1%. Our CBEC or any other
authority has done nothing for us for decades. We are given false assurances
but nothing has ever done. No seriousness is being shown to redress any
grievance and also to implement the cadre restructuring already notified more
than two months ago.
4. The cadre restructuring, which
should have been implemented immediately after its notification particularly
keeping in view the monthly mass level retirements of our officers without
getting even IInd promotion, is still pending for the want of reorganisation
even after six months of its approval by the Cabinet. Now, we have no option other than reviving
the Satyagraha programme to sit before the residences of the authorities
including Commissioners/ADG’s, Chief Commissioners/DG’s, Members, Chairperson,
Revenue Secretary, MOS & FM throughout India requesting them for immediate
implementation of cadre restructuring and taking concrete measures independent
of cadre restructuring to retire our all of the officers also in PB4.
Thanking
you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary
General.
