Sub: Denial of NFU/NFS to the Superintendents working under Mumbai CGST Cadre Control Zone.

Sir,

Kindly refer to the letter F.No.A-29014/4/2011-Ad.IIB Dt. 22.02.16 of the CBEC/CBIC regarding treatment of the long-term vacancies in the grade of Superintendent beyond one year as regular posts issued based on DOPT OMs. Kindly also refer to Ref. No. 05/AIB/N/26 Dt. 03.02.26 of the Association (copy enclosed).

2. It is worth to submit with due regards that ad-hocism was prevalent in the CBIC/CBEC for decades at every level of Group ‘A’ IRS officers also but no benefit to them was ever stopped due to this reason. They were given every monetary and career related benefit despite of being worked as ad-hoc because of working on long-term regular posts.

3. But very unfortunately, the benefit of NFU/NFS to the Superintendents after completion of four years regular service on long-term regular posts is being denied treating them wrongly as ad-hoc by Pay & Accounts Office. More surprisingly, the benefit is being denied to these officers despite of being worked against these long-term regular posts of Superintendent even continuously for more than 11 years. It is not understood whether the persons working in Pay & Accounts Offices are above the CBIC as they don’t hesitate even a little to dishonour the approvals given by the HODs.  

4. The PAOs deny the grant of NFU/NFS to the Superintendents without any valid reason or without mentioning any relevant provision/rule/law prescribed in Civil Accounts Manual. It is not understood what vested/official/legal interest they have behind such denial. The issue of granting NFU/NFS to the eligible officers is to be decided by the competent authority only. The PAO is not competent authority and has no role to play in this regard. The work of the PAO is only to check the correctness of the amount after being approved/decided by the competent authority.

5. Needless to mention that the concerned Zonal Cadre Controlling Principal Chief Commissioner has already approved the grant of NFU/NFS to the Superintendents of the zone vide letter F.No. II/39(CON)Misc-05/2023/222 Dt. 29.10.25 addressing to all concerned. No need to say that our Principal Chief Commissioner is the duly competent authority in this matter. The objection put to the matter by the PAOs to the approval of Cadre Controlling Principal Chief Commissioner is a very serious matter and totally unjustified. It requires to be dealt with seriously for the sake of giving justice to the affected Superintendents.

6. Not only the grant of NFU/NFS after 4 years of service against long-term regular posts but ad-hoc promotions to the regular posts of Superintendent are also required to be regularized at an early date.

7. In view of above, it is requested to kindly initiate the due steps considering the matter as immediate-

(i) to give the benefit of NFU/NFS to all ad-hoc Superintendents who have already worked continuously for four years against regular posts of Superintendent.

(ii) to regularize all ad-hoc Superintendents working against regular posts of Superintendent.

Thanking you.

Yours sincerely,

Encl: As above (1)                                                                                                                         

(HARPAL SINGH),

Secretary General.
