Dear Association members, Divisional Representatives & Delegates,
Good
evening
Today newly elected
team of the Association visited the Chief Commissioner, CE (Jaipur Zone)
and respective Commissioners of all the three Commissionerates. The CC
& Commissioners welcomed the newly elected team and assured their best cooperation
for welfare of the cadre.During visit we discussed on the burning issue of
stagnation & regional disparity in promotion avenues in our cadre and the
possible remedies to reduce the stagnation.
We also
submitted a representation requesting for creation of two (2) Service Tax
Commissionerates one (1) Customs Commissionerate in addition to the
proposals of the ongoing Cadre Restructuring. The respective Commissioners
patiently heard and agreed with our reasoned submissions and
assured their needful positive action in the matter. We hope that the matter
will be examined by the Commissioner, CE, Jaipur-I with personal attention as
discussion with the said personality was very much positive & suggestive.
Our team has also
undertaken time bound home work for further course of action in this regard.
Comradely yours,
BL Meena
PresidentAICEIA (Rajasthan Circle)
A copy of today's representation duly signed by Comrade Abhay Singh, General Secretary is published below for your kind information and creative suggestions at the earliest:-
Dated 30.09.2013
To,The Chief Commissioner,
Central Excise (JZ),
Jaipur
Respected
Sir,
Sub:
Repuest for creation of new Service Tax Commissionerates & Regular Customs
Commissionerate, during ongoing Cadre
restructuring - reg
With due regards, the Association beseech your goodself to pay kind attention towards pathetic working conditions of the Inspector & Superintendent cadre, owing to multi-fold increase in the Customs, Central Excise & Service Tax work load in the State of Rajasthan. Though during the recent years the state has witnessed a significant increase in Customs, Central Excise & Service Tax Revenue, Assessee/Service Provider Base, Work Load etc., but the administrative set-up including the strength of employees has remained unchanged. It has created a system imbalance and has been adversely affected the professional output of the officers of this esteemed department. The stagnant professional as well as administrative growth of the department in the state of Rajasthan may indirectly hamper the growth of revenue. Besides, the stagnant set-up has thwarted the revenue growth and in the absence of motivational scenario the work culture appears loosing inspirational impetus.
Moreover, the State of Rajasthan has ample potential for formation of new
Central Excise, Service Tax and Customs Commissionerates. The state possesses a
vast spread geographical area, a huge number of Assessee/ Service
Provider/Importer-Exporter base and above all a substantial amount of total
annual Revenue. Furthermore, the state of Rajasthan deserves more
commissionerates than the proposed commissionerates in the ongoing Cadre
Restructuring on the basis of its Assessee/Service Provider base and also as
per the revenue of Customs, Central Excise & Service Tax in the state. This
association has carried out a study, which shall put forth our claim strongly
and logically for the formation of more commissionerates. It is most humbly
requested to please pay personal attention on our point wise submission
enumerated below:
(A) Norms of Cadre Restructuring for creation of new
Commissionerate:-
The projected revenue for the year 2010-11
has been taken into account for reorganisation of existing Commissionerates
during the ongoing Cadre Restructuring and the proposed norms are as under:-
(ii) Service Tax Commissionerate-Revenue &
Assessees base Norms- Rs. 3000 crores service tax annually revenue (PLA+
Cenvat) and more than 17500 assessee.
(iii) Integrated
Customs Commissionerate-150000 SB’s
& BE’s for integrated customs
commissionerate
Sir, The above proposed norms were fixed in year 2010 in anticipation of the
workload and manpower for next five (5) years, but it would not be out of place
to mention here that the very purpose/aim of ongoing Cadre Restructuring is
going to be defeated before its implementation because the anticipated workload
of five (5) years has already been crossed in Rajasthan and the your executive
officers (Superintendents & Inspector) are working under horrendous work
pressure, stress, frustration, stagnation due to acute shortage of manpower.
B: Request for new Service
Tax Commissionerates :-
Sir, There are 69,145 assesses registered under Service tax in Jaipur Zone and the
revenue collection from Service Tax was approximately 2400 crores during the FY 2012-13 (Annexure-‘A’ enclosed). During
the current year (upto 11th Aug.), the revenue collection from
Service tax has increased by 33.53% in comparison to the corresponding period
in the previous year. It is estimated that revenue of Service Tax will cross 3000 crors during this financial year.
As per the norms
laid down in the ongoing Cader Restructuring, the criteria for formation of new
Service Tax Commissionerate, has been considered on the basis of the Revenue
Collection and also on the basis of Number of Service Providers registered.
Either 3000 crors revenue or more than 17500 assesseee satisfies the norms for
creation of new Service Tax Commissionerate. It would be imperative to mention that the Jaipur Zone fulfils both the
criteria for formation of a new Service Tax Commissionerates.
Sir, the state of Rajasthan
is widely spread over 3, 42,000 Sq. Km. and the service tax assesses are
scattered all over Rajasthan. Considering the vast geographical area, huge
number of scattered Service Providers and a substantial amount of revenue, all
together deserve minimum two additional Service Tax Commissionerates. Besides,
the increased work load is falling adversely on the mental, social and physical
lives of the staff. It is requested, the formation of one Service Tax Commissionerate
may be recommended exclusively for Jaipur district, as more than 28000
assessees are registered in Service Tax Division Jaipur itself. The 2nd
Service Tax Commissionerate may be recommended for rest of state considering
the huge number of scattered Service Tax providers and substantial amount of
revenue.
(i) An example of workload viz-a-viz manpower in Service Tax Division:-
(i) An example of workload viz-a-viz manpower in Service Tax Division:-
Sir, As per the above proposed norms,
there may be proportionately 3500 assesses with revenue of Rs. 600 crores in
one Service Tax Division for better monitoring of revenue collection and smooth
functioning. Service Tax Division, Jaipur is having jurisdiction over Jaipur,
Dausa & some part of Tonk Districts under CE Jaipur Zone. The workload of
the said Division office is indicating alarming situation since its
establishment as much as there were 25211 registered assesses with revenue
collection of Rs. 1,419.09 crores during the FY 2012-13.
Further, during starting 5
month of the current financial year revenue collection of the aforesaid
Division is Rs. 629.34 croces (upto August, 2013) whereas revenue
collection during corresponding period of the last financial year was only Rs. 440.61 crores. Thus revenue collection during only starting
5 months of the current financial year has increased by Rs. 188.73 crores in comparison
to the corresponding period of the last financial year. Thus looking into
revenue growth trend of 42.83%, it
is estimated that revenue collection from single Service Tax Division, Jaipur
will be more than Rs. 2,000 crores
during the current financial year.
Similarly, number of
registered assesses during only 5 months of the current financial year has also
increased from 25211 to 27431(upto August, 2013). Thus looking into assesses
growth trend of 8.81%, it is estimated in single Service Tax Division there
will be more than 33000 registered assesses during the current financial
year. It is also pertinent to mention here that the revenue collection can also
be increased beyond this projection deploying more Superintendents and
Inspectors with infrastructure facilities for effective & regular
monitoring of the huge amount of confirmed & recoverable Arrears.
Sir, under jurisdiction of
Service Tax Division, Jaipur all work items of 28500 assesses (which is equivalent to 5 divisions as per
the proposed norms) are being looked after only by 9 Superintendents and 17
Inspectors. The deployed executive
officers doing their regular, sincere efforts even putting extra working hours,
but it is next to impossible for them to cope with the atrocious increased
quantum of workload. Further, regular acute storage of manpower adversely
affects the professional output of the officers of this department who has been
guard of nation’s economic frontiers against all odds.
Sir, In view of above, this
Association’s claim of rapidly expanding of workload specifically in Service
Tax sector is clearly establishes only from above single example.
Sir, the state
of Rajasthan is widely spread Trans 3, 42,000 Sq. Km. and the service tax
assesses are scattered all over Rajasthan. Thus geographically condition of
Rajasthan is typical in comparison to other States/Zones and also fulfilling
the proposed norms for creation at least two (2) Service Tax Commissionerates
for smooth functioning and effective monitoring the Government revenue.
Considering the
vast geographical area and above mentioned working condition of existing
Service Tax Division, Jaipur this Association request your kind honour for
creation two (2) Service Tax Commissionerates – 1st at Jaipur for
speedy increasing assesses of Jaipur District and 2nd at Ajmer for
wide areas of remaining districts in Rajasthan. In view of above, this
Association fond hope that your goodself will be agreed with urgent requirement
and justification of our request.
Sir, in this connection, it shall be pertinent to
mention that the administration has already acknowledged the earnest
requirement of additional staff and more service tax commissionerates for
smooth administrative functioning, proper monitoring and effective check on
revenue leakage. The first proposal was sent to Commissioner, Directorates of
Organization & personal Management, New Delhi by the worthy Commissioner,
Jaipur vide C.No. II-3927)/ET/2004 dated 29.11.2004. Thereafter, the earlier
worthy Chief Commissioner sent a proposal to the Board vide letter C. No.
II-39(11) CCO/JZ/ET/2011/8064 dated 14.10.2011 in compliance of Board’s letter
F. No. 8/B/69/HRD(HRM)2011/2593 dated
30.8.2011 and vide reminded vide subsequent letter C. No.
II-39(11)CCO/JZ/ET/2011/6900-6901 dated 24.08.2012 stressing upon the dire need
for creation of an additional Commissionerate of Service Tax for smooth
administration functioning. The demand of additional staff for service tax is
being made regularly since 2004, through various fronts.
Sir, the association beseech your goodself
to heed towards the dire need of staff and other administrative set up. During
the recent years, the Service Tax work has increased with leaps and bounds. The
numbers of Service Providers are too high to monitor with hand full staff of
Rajasthan. Furthermore, the time bound work in abundance is deteriorating the
motivational work environment of the department. The facts regarding increased
number of assessee base and increasing work are being put forth regularly by
both the worthy jurisdictional Commissioners. Despite putting extra working
hours the staff is not able to cope with the increased quantum of work load. It
is pertinent to mention here that the officers are working under tremendous
pressure & stress looking into the assigned time bound workload vis-a-vis
fear of responsibility.
Sir, your benign intervention in the matter is desperately
solicited to realize the state of justice for the staff working under your
caring supervision.
C: Request for
new Central Excise Commissionerates:-
Sir,
In the current cadre restructuring proposals only two new Central Excise
Commissionerate are going to be sanctioned according to revenue norms on the
basis of the revenue collection of financial year 2009-10 and projected revenue
of F.Y.2010-11. The figures for these two years are encapsulated as under:-
However, it is imperative to mention that during recent years the revenue has increased significantly. The revenue for the financial year 2012-2013 is encapsulated as under:
As per revenue norms considered in cadre restructuring proposal minimum 7 commissionerate may be sanctioned in Rajasthan. Even if the revenue from oil sector of Barmer is 4037 crors from PLA and 32 crors from Cenvat, Total revenue was 4069 crors is deducted from the total C. Ex. revenue of F.Y. 2012-13,the remainder revenue will be Rs.11504 crors (PLA+Cenvat) for F.Y.2012-13 which is also high from the projected revenue of 2010-11.

Sir, hence, it is requested
to kindly accede to our request and put forth our representation with the
Central Board of Excise & Customs and also with DGHRD with your strong
recommendations.
D: Request for new regular Customs Commissionerate:-
Sir, The Customs (Preventive) Zone, Delhi
consists of 3 Customs (P) Commissionerate - at Delhi, Amritsar & Jodhpur.
Delhi Customs has a regular Customs Commissionerate apart from the Customs (P)
Commissionerate and in the ongoing Cadre Restructuring, a regular Customs
Commissionerate is proposed at Ludhiana also, in addition to the existing
Customs (P) Commissionerate at Amritsar. On the same ground, formation of a
regular Customs Commissionerate in Jaipur Zone is highly justified.
Sir, There is no regular Customs
Commissionerate in Rajasthan to look after the regular work of Customs at 8
ICDs, 1 FPO, 1 Land Customs Station (LCS, Munabao), 2 Air Cargo Complexes and 1
International Airport. The regular work of above-mentioned Customs formations
is being performed by the staff of Customs Preventive formation and the work
related to the Private Bonded Warehouses is being looked after the
jurisdictional Central Excise formations. Factory
stuffing of non excisable goods is being carried out by Customs Preventive
Staff as well as Central Excise Staff also. Considering the voluminous
increase in the Customs related work, a separate Customs Commissionerate is
desperately required.
Sir, it would be pertinent to draw attention
to the fact that since its creation in 1997, the sanctioned strength of the
Customs Preventive Commissionerate has also not been increased despite the
creation of several new Customs formations in Rajasthan.
Sir, Although Amritsar Customs (P)
Commissionerate does not qualify on revenue / work-load parameters for creation
/ allocation of a regular Customs Commissionerate, yet in ongoing Cadre
Restructuring, the Board has considered creating an additional Customs
Commissionerate at Ludhiana by bifurcating it on the following reasoning:
“..the reorganization of Customs (P) formations cannot be done
on the basis of quantifiable parameters and the same has to be done keeping in
view the vulnerability of geographical regions over which these formations
exercise jurisdictions. Customs (P) Commissionerates should be so organized
that their main focus remains Customs Preventive work and it does not get
diluted by any revenue collection related functions.”
The Tuticorin & Tiruchirapally
Commissionerates under the Chennai Customs (P) Zone have been retained despite
not fulfilling the criterion of revenue / work-load parameter on the ground
that:
“Being Customs (P) Formations, the existence of the two
Commissionerates need not be justified on the basis of quantifiable parameters
such as number of Bills of Entry and Shipping Bills etc. These two
Commissionerates cover the entire highly sensitive coastline (except the
coastline falling within the jurisdiction of Chennai Customs Zone) of the State
of Tamil Nadu.”
Sir, the same
analogy has not been applied in the case of Jodhpur Customs (P) Commissionerate
which alone exercises jurisdiction over the highly sensitive and vulnerable
1077 KMs long Indo-Pak border (as against the 561 KM long international border
of Punjab state), and is area-wise by far the largest (3.42 lac Sq. KMs, as
against the 0.50 lac Sq. KMs area of Punjab), topographically inaccessible and
inhospitable desert / semi-arid jurisdiction spanning across the entire state
of Rajasthan.
Sir, For
smuggling point of view the widely spread international border in the State of
Rajasthan is extremely vulnerable for trafficking of Narcotics, smuggling of
Gold & FICN and influx of Arms & Ammunitions. The role of the Customs
cannot be neglected in the security of nation. Moreover, the Rajasthan’s
topography is desperately needs more attention of the department with increased
manpower and infrastructure.
E:
Request for new Regular
Customs Commissionerate:
1.
Introduction:- Customs
(Preventive) Commissionerate, Jodhpur is having jurisdiction over the entire
state of Rajasthan comprising 132,140 square miles (342,239 square kilometres)
of land area including 1037 kilometre long International Boarder with Pakistan
spread across four districts of Rajasthan i.e.Sriganganagar, Bikaner, Jaisalmer
and Barmer.
The
Anti-Smuggling task along the entire International Border is being handled by 5
Customs Divisions, four of them located at the headquarters of the four
districts having international border with Pakistan. One division is having its
headquarters at Jodhpur. 17 Customs Ranges are working under these five
divisions and the same are located at places near the international border.
Ranges are manned by one Superintendent and three Inspectors each. An office of
the Additional Commissioner is working at Jodhpur to effectively supervise the
anti-smuggling task being performed by these formations.
2. No regular posts at ICDs etc. in cadre restructuring
2002:- Customs (General) work is also
being handled by this Preventive Commissionerate. At the time of the last
cadre-restructuring in the year 2002, the following facilities were in
existence under this Commissionerate:-
·
Inland
container depots- Jaipur-2, Jodhpur-3 & Bhilwara-1
·
Air cargo
complex, Sanganer, Jaipur-1
·
Foreign
post office- Jaipur-1
However,
no regular posts were sanctioned for these facilities at that time and the work
was being handled by ad-hoc posts.
3.
Additional facilities created after cadre restructuring of 2002:- It is further stated that after the cadre-restructuring
in the year 2002, the following additional Customs facilities have been created
in the jurisdiction of Customs (Preventive) Commissionerate, Jodhpur:-
·
Land
Customs Station (Rail), Munabao (Barmer),
·
Inland
Container Depot, CONCOR, Kota,
·
Inland
Container Depot, RAJSICO, Bhiwadi,
·
Air
Cargo, Jaipur City.
However, additional staff has not
yet been sanctioned for deployment at these facilities and temporary arrangement
has been made by drawing staff from various formations of this Commissionerate
for deployment at these formations.
The
strength sanctioned for customs in restructuring 2002 was meant only for the
working of a Customs Preventive Commissionerate in the state. However, regular
staff was not sanctioned for Customs (Import and export) facilities in the
state rather ad-hoc posts were sanctioned for these facilities. Now that the
cost-recovery regime has been discontinued and consequently the ad-hoc posts are
not being filled up, there is an acute shortage of staff for manning these
facilities. As a stop-gap arrangement these facilities are being manned by
diverting staff from the preventive formations.
4.
International Airport, Sanganer & LCS Munabao;- Further, no additional staff strength has been
sanctioned for the Land Customs Station at Munabao (Barmer) and the
International Airport at Sanganer (Jaipur) which are also being manned by
diverting staff from other formations. Hence, a large number of officers have
been diverted from the preventive operations which adversely affect the working
of the preventive formations. As a matter of fact, the present sanctioned
strength of the Commissionerate can not be spared for these facilities. Hence,
fresh sanction of staff for these facilities as detailed below is
essential:-

1. Since Jaipur is a major tourist destination it is
expected that the number of international tourists will grow with introduction
of new flights.
2. The export and import of gems and jewellery is growing
fast and a large number of international passengers will be contributed by the
importers/ exporters of gems and jewellery.
3. Rajasthan and especially Shekhawati region supplies a
large number of manpower to the Arab courtiers. These persons working in the
gulf are regular passengers and their number is growing at a regular pace.
4. Direct Haz flights from Jaipur airport have since become
operational and the number of passengers going for Haz from Rajasthan is quite
large.
5. International flights for Delhi airport are many times
diverted to this airport in view of adverse weather conditions or congestion.
6. International Airport, Sanganer is going to be accorded
the status of fully functional international airport with effect from the year
2008.
Since the staff requirement for the Jaipur Airport has
been drawn assuming movement of approximately 800 passengers each day, Airport
would require to be manned on double shift basis.
Accordingly, three posts of DC/AC, one each for the two
shifts and third for the Preventive / Intelligence would be required.
Similarly, thirty Inspectors would be required, 15 each for the two shifts, six
for the Customs counters in Arrival Hall, three in Departure Hall, one each in
both the Halls as PRO / Help Desk / Conveyor Belt/ X-Ray, three Inspectors for
the AIU and two others for Administrative / Warehouse / Leave reserve. Ten
Superintendents would be required on per shift basis, considering one for the
two counters, thus requiring six Superintendents in both the Halls, two for the
AIU and the other for Administrative / Escort Duty / Leave Reserve etc.
Hence, the
requirement of staff for International Airport would be as under:-

(ii). Land Customs Station (Rail), Munabao:- This land
Custom Station is most sensitive in respect of smuggling as well as and
national security. The rail link between Munbao(Raj) and Khokrapar (Pak.) has
been functional in full fledged manner w.e.f. 18.2.2006 on weekly basis.
In the year
1987, the Ministry has sanctioned 54 posts in different cadres vide their
letter F.No. A-11013/20/85 Ad.IV dated 7.01.87 with condition that “the filling
up of the posts for manning the LCS at Munabao will however coincide with the
opening Rail link with pakistan in Rajasthan Section. The date for filling up
of these posts will be notified separately by CBEC in consultation with IFU”. (Annx.C)
The
LCS has become operational and the work related to customs clearance is being
handled by Customs staff drawn temporarily from other preventive posts at the
border. No extra posts have arrived in the name of this increased work.
Moreover, it brings lots of travel hazards to the staff posted at various
customs stations, while they attend clearance work on Saturday and Sunday at
Munabao (Raj). The LCS Munabao earnestly needs staff for its smooth functioning
and better administrative monitoring.
At the time of opening of this facility in the year 1987
the Ministry had sanctioned vide their letter dated 07.01.1987, 54 posts in
different cadres. Now that the LCS has become operational, sanction of staff is
urgently needed. In response to a request (letter C. No.
II-39(24)Cus./Estt./2003/Pt.I/15985 dated 21.12.2004) for sanction of additional staff for Munabao
Rail Customs Station, the Ministry informed (vide letter F.No.
A-11013/01/2005-AD.IV dated 28.09.2005) that there was no buffer strength
available with the Ministry in any grade to meet the additional requirement.
Now since additional staff sanction is being considered by the Ministry it may
also be kept in mind that the weekly train is likely to be run thrice a week in
view of the greater number of passengers desirous of traveling by this train
and there is also a likelihood of a cargo train/ truck facility being started
for goods trade between India and Pakistan.
While drawing up the proposal for sanction of the
following posts for this facility it has been kept in view that preventive
angle is always required to be kept in mind while clearing passengers to and
for Pakistan in view of past experience while faster clearance of international
passengers is an international responsibility of every nation but making checks
on anti national activities is also required. Hence, the requirement of staff
for LCS (Rail) would be as under:-

Keeping in view the future growth of trade it is
expected that export of agriculture products from Bikaner and Sriganganagar
districts of the state will need opening of separate inland container depots at
those locations. Wooden handicraft will be another important export product at
those locations. Export of wooden handicraft from Churu and Sikar districts of
the state is also expected to grow with the opening up of new facilities nearer
to the places of manufacture of these items. However, this aspect is not being
taken into account for the present and the plan has been prepared for the presently
existing facilities only.

in the grades of DC/ AC, Superintendent and Inspectors for all these customs

Sir, keeping in view the above workload and requirement
of staff it is imperative that one regular customs Commissionerate is created
in Rajasthan. Since the import and export work is spread across the state, this
Commissionerate may have headquarters at Jaipur.
Sir, A detailed proposal for requirement of additional posts for customs Rajasthan to increase operational efficiency was also
sent by the worthy Commissioner (Customs) Jaipur to the Chief Commissioner
(Customs Preventive) Delhi Zone, New Delhi vide letter C.No.II-31(1) Estt./
Cus/2009/10939 dated 6.11.09 (copy enclosed as B)
Sir, The Customs (Preventive) Zone, Delhi
consists of 3 Customs (P) Commissionerate - at Delhi, Amritsar & Jodhpur
but despite of allocation of substantial number of posts in the last CR-2002,
no new post was sanctioned to Customs Preventive Commissionerate Jodhpur(RAJ.)
In the Cadre Restructuring-2002, all the new sanctioned posts for Customs
Preventive Zone, Delhi were allocated to the Customs Preventive Commissionrate,
Delhi & Amritsar.
Most Revered Sir, it is most humbly
requested that on the basis of my submissions made above, a revised proposal
should be forwarded to the CBEC and DGHRD strongly recommending our genuine
demands, reproduced in brief as under:-
i. Formation of 2
new Service Tax Commissionerates as per submission made above;
ii. Formation of 1
new regular Customs
Commissionerate as per submission made above;
iii. Allocation of
more vacancies to the existing Customs Preventive Commissionerate on the basis
of submissions made above.
The entire cadre
is extremely hopeful that your goodself’s generous persona will definitely
fetch justice for the dying cadre Rajasthan. Thanking you in anticipation.
Your’s faithfully,
Sd/- 30.9.2013
