Sub: Request for Grievance Redressal.

Sir,

            It is to submit with due regards that the majority of the officers are retiring with single promotion in the career after joining as Inspector. It is also worth to mention that these officers are instrumental in collecting revenue always above targets. Many issues are unresolved for very long. Some of the issues are submitted as below for kind redressal-

            A. DPC for the post of Asstt. Commissioner: The DPC for the year 2023 is still pending, which should have been conducted before Jan, 23. The DPC may kindly be conducted at the earliest.

B. Updating of seniority list of Central Excise/CGST Superintendents: The Seniority list of the Central Excise/CGST Superintendents has been published only upto 2011. Every DPC for the post of Assistant Commissioner is being delayed for the want of the seniority list. The seniority list may kindly be updated upto the year 2022 at the earliest and kindly be kept updated every year afterwards.

C. Extension and regularization of 2118 temporary posts of Asstt. Commissioner: 2118 temporary posts of Asstt. Commissioner will lapse on 17.12.23. These may kindly be extended further and be regularized keeping the same intact only for the purpose of promotion.

D. Implementation of the legal verdicts: Legal verdicts in service matters are not being implemented in CBIC despite of being settled by the Hon’ble courts including the Apex Court. All of such verdicts may kindly be implemented in rem.

E. Upgradation/redesignation under GST like State Governments: Posts have already been upgraded/redesignated by one step in State GST but no such measure has been taken in CBIC. The same measure may kindly be taken for the sake of parity.

F. Ensuing cadre restructuring of CBIC: The ensuing cadre restructuring was started five years ago and the Association came to know that the same is being redrafted. The Association may kindly be duly consulted before the finalization of the proposal.

            G. Implementation of the DOPT OM No. AB-14017/12/88-Estt. (RR) Dt. 25.03.96: It is being implemented since 2014 instead of 1996. The same may kindly be implemented since 1996 for the sake of justice to all and to avoid unwarranted litigations.

            H. Undoing of MACP irregularities: Our officers are getting after service of 30 years under MACPS what they were getting under ACPS after 24 years of service. The irregularities regarding offset of time scale with MACP upgradation and treating same Grade Pay of Rs. 5400/- in PB2 & PB3 differently may kindly be undone.

            (I) Removal of stagnation:

               (i) Implementation of in-situ promotion scheme as approved by CBIC on 18.02.11: Scheme has not been implemented despite of being finalized more than 12 years ago and despite of repeated requests of the Association. It may kindly be implemented since the date of its approval.

            (ii) Scheme to remove stagnation independent of cadre restructuring as approved by the Cabinet in the year 2013. It may kindly be brought since the date of its approval by the Cabinet.

            (iii) Batch to batch Non Functional Financial Upgradation (NFU) to grant financial parity to our officers with the best placed counterparts to compensate the lack of promotions. The scheme has been recommended by the CBIC at least on four occasions. The same may kindly be implemented from the date of its implementation for Group A officers.  

(iv) Flexible Complementary/Dynamic Assured Career Progression Scheme as already operative in the Department of Science/Health to remove the stagnation may also kindly be brought for our officers since the date of its implementation in the Department of Science/Health.

             (v) Promotion of ad-hoc Assistant Commissioners promoted against temporary posts to the post of Deputy Commissioner on completion of 4 years of service and counting of temporary service for further promotions, so that seniors are not forced to work under juniors.

            (J) Pay matters:

            (i) Complete implementation of the order given on 24.02.95 in OA No. 541/1994 by Jabalpur CAT. No appeal was made against it and it has only been implemented partly.

            (ii) Implementation of para 7.15.24 of 6th CPC report which has not been implemented despite of approval (it may kindly be from 01.01.96 instead of prospective) by Competent Authority.

               (K) Compassionate appointments: All compassionate appointment cases may kindly be finalised taking some special/one time measure. Common criteria may kindly not be adopted for all cadres, rather posts may be distributed among all cadres in proportion of their strength. Some special provisions for CORONA victims’ families may also kindly be brought and expedited.

               (L) Infrastructure, office space and manpower to field formations: Field formations are acutely lacking due manpower, prescribed office space and infrastructure. Needful may kindly be done.

(M) Workload in Range Offices: Range offices are tremendously overburdened due to huge number of assessees against the original model of CBIC of 300-400 assessees per Range under GST. Many Ranges have number of assessees even to the tune of lacs. Needful may kindly be done for proper reorganization of Ranges and Divisions for smooth functioning of GST.

               (N) Non-functioning GSTIN system: System is in very troublesome and bad shape. It is not responding properly and repeatedly being shut down wasting huge time and having tremendously adverse effect on GST functioning. Needful may kindly be done to improve it.

               (O) Implementation of DOPT OM F.No.22034/4/2020-Estt.(D) Dt. 05.04.21 issued as per Supreme Court order: Item No. 9 of the OM says that those employees who got either one promotion or 1st ACP before 01.01.06 and who did not earn any promotion or 2nd ACP during 01.01.06 to 31.08.08, are eligible for 2nd MACP on or after 01.09.08 (i.e., due on completion of 20 years) and 3rd MACP after 30 years of service or 10 years in the same grade pay/pay level, as the case may be, if found otherwise eligible. The item may kindly be implemented.

               (P) Action taken report on the decisions made in meetings of 18.08.17 and 14.01.16: Action was to be taken by DGHRD/AD. II/IIA/IIIA/IVA. Action taken report may kindly be made available. Association also submitted all demands separately on every issue regarding both meetings. The Minutes of both meetings are enclosed for kind reference.

2. It is requested to give a serious thought to the above issues for due redressal and justice to the members.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

Encls: Minutes of the meetings of 18.08.17 and 14.01.17.                                                          

(HARPAL SINGH),
