Meetings with authorities of the CBEC

Dear Colleagues,

 

I, alongwith S/Shri Anil Gupta –Vice President, Abhay Singh – General Secretary & Alok Mathur –Asstt Gen Secretary visited Delhi on 17^th & 18^th October, 2013.

 

Though we had no prior appointment, but succeeded to meet with Hon’ble Chairperson, Member (P&V), DG (HRD) & Addl DG (HRD) on the basis of united efforts.

 

During discussion, we apprised all the above authorities about pity working conditions & acute stagnation in our cadre and also submitted representation. The discussion was positive as all the authorities principally agreed with our reasoned submissions and noted our demands for consideration during implementation of the ongoing Cadre Restructuring after approval by the Union Cabinet. The Cabinet note is under the prescribed process for presentation before the Cabinet and likely to be approved on 31.10.2013.

 

We have also met with 2 Chief Commissioners for favorable consideration of our demands and are hopeful that they will also convince the above authorities in support of our demands/claims. The CC of Customs, Customs (Prev) Zone, New Delhi was not available in his office, therefore our team will meet with him during next visit.

 

Apart from above, we also met some relevant officers & other colleagues and gathered some important facts/procedure, which will help us to decide further line of action. The same can only be discussed in General Body meeting, being organized shortly.

 

It appears that the existing proposals & norms are not the final for sanction of Commissionerate/posts and the same will be decided only after approval by the Cabinet. As on date, the final position is only that our 2 CE Commissionerates are going to be reorganized into 4 CE Commissionerates. On the basis of this final position only 100 to 120 Inspectors upto batch of 1993 will be get promoted after completion 20 to 22 years service.

 

We have submitted our strong & reasoned submissions for creation of Audit Commissionerate, Service Tax Commissionerate & Customs Commissionerate in Rajasthan.  The prevailing acute stagnation can only be reduced/removed only on creation 2 Commissionerates form the requested 3.

 
The contribution of Shri Anil Gupta and Shri Alok Mathur is notable for all office bearers & members of the Association as they spared time despite of time bound workload and reached Delhi traveling long distance in our common interest.

Comrade Abhay Singh is continuously in touch with office bearers of All India Association for removal of regional disparity and his result oriented efforts may be the milestone for career of our cadre.

 

Thus, we are doing our all out efforts, but still have to do regular & tireless/vigorous efforts in this direction. We are also planning to depute a well conversant & effective delegation  for Delhi visit once a week for regular pursuance and to watch/safeguard our common interests.

Your creative suggestion and active cooperation is the need of the hour.

 

With regards & good wishes

Comradely yours

B L Meena
