Report of the B. B. Agrawal study group on stagnation of group B officers.
Sir,
As
already known to your goodself, it is submitted with due regards that our
officers are retiring on a PB2 post merely with single promotion in the career
of 35-40 years after joining as Inspector of Central Excise whereas their
counterparts are enjoying PB4 levels after getting 5/6 promotions. Due to this
reason, there is huge discriminatory difference between their pre and post
retirement benefits as compared to their counterparts. Even the pension of
their counterparts is more than their salary. As also accepted by the CBEC,
these officers are also forced to work under extreme juniors of Customs
belonging to the same cadre who are already reaching the level of Addl.
Commissioner & Commissioner in our own organization of CBEC. The cadre
restructuring is also going to give no relief to these officers in term of
getting promotions upto PB4 levels.
2. The issue was raised before the
Cabinet Secretary by the Association and he was kind enough to recommend to the
Cabinet of India on behalf of the Cadre Review Committee to take extra measures
in addition to the cadre restructuring to remove the stagnation of group B
executive officers of Central Excise. The Cabinet was also pleased to accept
and approve the same. As a result, the subject mentioned study group was
formed. The time granted to the said study group to submit its report has
already expired months ago but the report is still awaited.
3. In view of the above, it is
requested to kindly ask the study group to submit its report at an early date
and take due measures to enable the Central Excise executive officers to enter
into PB4 levels like their counterparts.
Thanking you,
Yours
faithfully,
(RAVI
MALIK),
Secretary
General.
