Sub: Physical verification
DGARM reports and physical audit.
Sir,
Kindly refer
to the earlier communication of the Association on the above subject.
2. It is to
submit with due regards that our officers are being pressurized to make
physical verification of DGARM reports and also to do audit of the parties by
making visits in the premises of the tax payers in the field formations.
3. As your
goodself is very well aware that the spread of corona pandemic is on regular
increase throughout the country with the exponential speed. Not only the live
cases are on increase but the deaths due to corona are also being increased
exponentially. Our department is no way
the exception to it and many casualties have already happened due to corona. Many
areas have been declared containment zones and hot spots by the govt. Despite
of the beginning of the unlock procedure, not only many bars have been declared
by the govt. but lock down is also being observed at many places. Under such
circumstances, our officers are being forced to visit the premises of tax
payers even in the containment zones. Needles to submit that such pressure is
like pushing our officers into the wells of death.
4. The pandemic is on regular spread
throughout the country with regular increase in death tolls and the Gujarat,
Tamilnadu, Uttra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Andhra Pradesh, North
East region, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Telangana etc. zones are burning
examples of continued corona pandemic. Despite of such life threatening
situation being faced throughout the
country, the officers are being compelled for physical verification and
physical audit.
5. It is also not out of place to
mention that the procedure for physical verification of DGARM reports and also
for physical audit was prescribed in pre-corona era. At that time, the
concerned authorities were not aware that any pandemic like corona would be
faced in the future.
6. In view of the above, it is
requested to discontinue the physical verification of DGARM reports and also the
physical audit or the visit to the premises of the tax payers with any other reason
under such life threatening conditions till the situation is improved. The matter may
kindly be taken seriously being related to the threat to the lives of our
officers and their family members.
Thanking you,
Yours
sincerely,
(HARPAL
SINGH),
Secretary
General.
