Dear Comrades,
The issue of formation of “All India Customs and Central Excise Pensioners Association” was discussed several occasions. All the Units are requested to pursue the Pensioners of their station/state to form the Pensioners Association. The Units are requested to arrange meetings of the pensioners and form the conveners committee. Once the conveners committees are formed at majority of the station, steps for formation of National level Pensioners Association shall be taken. Only when Unit wise Pensioners Associations are formed, all those who retire / or already retired would be motivated to join the pensioners Associations of the respective Units. The composite Central Excise and Customs Department Pensioners Associations which are already there have not been able to motivate all pensioners to join them and therefore it has been decided to form Unit wise such Associations. Hope you would take necessary measures by contacting recently retired activists of your Units in different stations to contact all retirees from the Department and form local Associations which may be affiliated to the All India Central Excise and Customs Pensioners Association. To start with you may convene a meeting of recently retired activists of your Unit and elect one to function as Convener of Pensioners Association. These activists / retirees in turn would contact all retirees of their stations / Districts / State to form the unit Associations. Such Associations when formed would be affiliated to the All India Pensioners Association. If some such retirees are already members of local Central Government Pensioners Association, they may be ask to continue their membership of that Association and also join the Customs and Central Excise Pensioners Association of the respective station / District / State.
