Sub: Extra measures in addition to the cadre
restructuringto remove the stagnation
of group B officers.
Sir,
Kindly refer to the various
communications of the Association on the issue.
2. It is again
submitted with due regards that the issue of extraordinarily acute stagnation
being faced by our officers was raised before the Cabinet Secretary by the
Association and he was kind enough to recommend to the Cabinet of India 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. But
unfortunately, no measure has been taken on the issue till date despite of
expiry of more than two years.
3. In view of the
above, it is requested to kindly take due measures on the issue at an early
dateunder consultation with the Association to enable the Central Excise
executive officers to retire at PB4 levels like their counterparts.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.

Subject: Option for purchase
of weapon issued on loan basis.
Sir,
Kindly refer to the meeting of the
Association held on 15.03.12 with the administration under the employee
grievance redressal mechanism and various representations including Ref. No.
79/W/15 Dt. 24.06.15 submitted by the Association on the issue. The subject-mentioned
point was duly agreed in the meeting but no action has been taken till date.
2. It is further submitted with due regards that the
scheme to sell the weapons to the departmental officers by the CBEC was started
initially without any condition of returning the same on retirement. Later on,
it was changed to ‘loan basis’ with the condition of return of weapon to the
CBEC on retirement while the politicians are privileged to purchase the same on
nominal price. Our officers are being asked to return the same on retirement
whereas the politicians are privileged to purchase even another one/s after
every 3 years. Presently, many of the departmental officers are in possession
of fire arm on loan basis issued by the department out of seized & confiscated
weapons with the condition to surrender the same on retirement. It is
reiterated that the departmental officers, however, were authorized to purchase
these weapons at the nominal price at the start of the scheme without any
condition of return.
3. It is further submitted that-
i) Many of officers are on the verge of retirement who
were issued the weapon for self defence.
ii) Earlier the department used to sell these fire
arms to the departmental officers as well as the some other categories of the
citizens.
iii) The scheme of selling the weapons to the departmental
officers has been withdrawn while others are still entitled to purchase the
same from the department. Not only it, others can purchase another weapon/s on some
specified frequency after purchase of earlier weapon/s.
iv) It appears to be gross injustice to the
departmental officers that they are deprived of the facility to purchase the
weapon from their own department despite of being instrumental to seize &
confiscate not only the weapons but also the gold, foreign currency and other
prohibited/restricted goods. They have always to face white collar criminals,
chronic economic offenders, hardcore smugglers, drug traffickers & other
criminals during the disposal of their duties. Despite of this all, the other
categories of citizens still have the facility to purchase these weapons while
ours not.
v) The threat perception to the life of the
departmental officers is increased multifold from the side of the economic
offenders and hardcore smugglers etc. after the retirement due to vanishing of
the departmental safety shield as compared during service.
4. In view of the above, it is requested that-
i) The necessary steps may kindly be taken to
reinstate the initial scheme of selling the weapons to departmental officers
and
ii) The officers intending to hold the loaned weapon
with them after retirement for self defence may also kindly be allowed to do so
after charging the price of the weapon from them at par with the officers who
were allowed to purchase the same on permanent basis in the past.
Thanking
you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary
General.
