IMMEDIATE PL.
To,
Sh. K. Srivastava,
The Chairman, CBEC,
North Block, New Delhi.
Sub: DPC for panel years 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 for the promotion
to the post of Asstt. Commissioner.
Sir,
It is submitted
with due regards that the CBEC is already behind by two
modal years in r/o the DPC for the post of Asstt. Commissioner. As per the DOPT
provisions vide OM No. 22011/9/98-Estt (D) Dt. 08.09.98 reiterated in
OM No. 22011/1/2011-Estt (D) Dt. 11.03.11 and 22011/1/2011-Estt (D) Dt.
13.12.13, the DPC for a financial year should be conducted well in advance
latest by the month of January of the preceding year. Thus, the DPC for the
year 2014-15 should have been conducted latest by the month of January, 2014
and the process for the year 2015-16 should also have been started in the month
of August, 2014 as per the schedule prescribed by the DOPT.
2. The promotions
against 200 posts of Central Excise share for the year of 2013-14 are still
pending and the names of more than 30 retired or unfortunately expired officers
have also been mentioned in the latest promotion Order No. 192/2014 issued vide
F. No. 12018/01/2014-AdII dt. 22.10.14. A good number of officers facing no
charge sheet or suspension or prosecution have also not been promoted vide
above mentioned promotion order with no fault on their part. They have perhaps
not been promoted for the want of some ACR/APAR/NRC whereas their juniors have
been promoted. It is also worth to submit that the writing of ACR/APAR or
providing NRC is noway the responsibility of the individual officer, the same
being the sole responsibility of the concerned authority/administration.
3. Huge number of our officers have already retired and many
more have been retiring every month without promotion due to this delayed
process. Even the provisions of extended panel are unable to give any relief to
the serving officers due to this extraordinary delay.
4. The
chain vacancies on account of cascading effect from higher side are also
required to be added for the DPC as per the DOPT OM No. 22011/9/98-Estt(D) Dt.
06.10.99. These chain vacancies come to be 498 meant for promotion of Group ‘B’
gazetted executive officers. It is clearly mentioned in the above said OM that the existing and clear
anticipated vacancies as well as chain vacancies on account of retirement,
promotion etc. in all of the higher grades/hierarchy should be included for the
purpose of DPC.
5.
Not only it, your kind attention is also invited to the DOPT provisions vide the OM No. 22011/9/98-Estt. (D) Dt. 14.12.2000 to fix the
responsibility for the lapse in adherence to the prescribed time frame in
holding of DPC’s. But unfortunately, it seems that
nobody in CBEC cares for the DOPT provisions and officers have been retiring
for years waiting for promotion.
6. In
view of the above, it is requested to kindly at the earliest-
i) Conduct
the DPC for the post of Asstt. Commissioner for the modal year 2014-15 by duly
adding the chain vacancies also.
ii) Also
conduct the DPC for the modal year 2015-16 latest by January, 2015.
iii) Issue promotion order against 200 posts of Central Excise share for the
year of 2013-14.
iv) Issue promotion
order of more than 30 serving officers in lieu of the retired or unfortunately
expired officers.
v) Issue promotion
order for the officers who have been left for the want of ACR/APAR/NRC despite
of facing no charge sheet or suspension or prosecution.
7. It is also
requested to kindly treat the matter as IMMEDIATE taking into consideration that
our officers are already facing the worst career prospects and forced to retire
only with single promotion in the career of 35-40 years after joining the job
as Inspector of Central Excise.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
