CBEC does not show any interest to grant promotions to Gr-B Gazetted officers of the department and also CBEC does not having any interest for collection of more revenues. The CBEC officials work with motive “all the good for self, self ego & power”.

CBEC does not implement the Guidelines prescribed by DOPT to conduct Cadre Restructuring and to conduct DPC and to frame Recruitment Rules within the prescribed time. If large number of posts will not be filled up, in the grade of AC/DC for a long period that will be caused an adversely affect to the revenue collections and result in tardy Tax Payer Service.  As per DOPT guidelines all departments should take action to fill up the posts in good time before vacancies actually occur. It has also been stipulated on such guidelines that in case where there is unjustifiable delay, responsibility for the delay should be assigned and those responsible should be suitably dealt with. The DPC for the year 2013-14 has not yet been conducted to grant promotions to the grade of Asst. Commissioner. 2418 nos. of post of AC ( regular & temporary) have been created vide  F.NO.A.11019/08/2013-AD-IV dated 18.12.2013 but till date no proposal to conduct DPC has been submitted  by CBEC to UPSC. First DG/HRD asked for ACR grading instead of dossiers, there after ADG/SYSTEMS  asked for ACRs up to 203-14 within 10.01.2014 before completion of financial year with an intention to delay the DPC.  Therefore it proves that CBEC does not show any interest to grant promotions to Gr-B gazetted officers of the department and also CBEC does not having any interest for  collection of more revenues.  Regulation 4 to UPSC ( EFC) Regulations interalia provides that it is not necessary to consult the UPSC in regard to the selection for a temporary post if the person  appointed is not likely to hold the post for a period of more than one year provided such an appointment should be reported to UPSC as soon as it is made, if the appointment continues beyond a period of six months, a fresh estimate as to the period for which the person appointed is likely to hold the post should be made and reported to the UPSC , and if such estimate indicates that the person appointed is likely to hold the post for a period of more than one year from the date of appointment , the UPSC should immediately be consulted in regard to the filling of the post.GI.MHA.OM. NO 23/27/68- ESST(R)  dated 26.12.68 read with DOPT.OM NO.23/51/71- ESST(B)  dated 25.09.72 interalia provides that there is no provision for approval by UPSC for any appointment initially made without consulting them. The objective behind reporting of adhoc appointments to UPSC under regulation 4 is not to secure their concurrence to continuance of adhoc appointment beyond one year but to enable the UPSC to discharge their Constitutional responsibility to bring to the notice of Parliament. Therefore consultation of UPSC is not required to fill up such temporary posts by granting adhoc promotions for six months. Eexemption from consultation of UPSC  in the DPC for promotion to the grade of AC under UPSC (exemption from Consultation )Regulations, 1958 is also applicable as  promotions are to be made  by non- selection method because selection method envisages same procedure as non-selection (i.e.no supersession with Good benchmark). Further as per notification dated 18.12.13 these temporary posts have been created for the first time ( newly) hence consultation of UPSC for DPC is not at all required to grant promotions on adhoc basis for first time. Each and every month more than 100 Superintendents are retiring without getting 2^nd promotion in their entire service career, but CBEC is totally silent on this particular issue. Therefore we have no other option except to opt for agitation.
