Present status Vs Genuine demands

Updated on 28.10.2013
 
The CR will be approved by the Union Cabinet on 07.11.2013 positively.
 
Yes....   Today (AN), the CC (Jaipur Zone) has forwarded our below mentioned demands alongwith his strong, reasoned and favorable recommendations. Now, we have to struggle at Delhi with your valuable support. Please be ready for any action in case our genuine demands are not considered by the Board. 
 
Dear Colleagues, 

The Association members are asking some information regarding present status viz-a-viz proposed formations, posts of Superintendent in Rajasthan. Some of them are having their own calculation regarding number of posts of Superintendent for promotion during implementation of the ongoing Cadre Restructuring (CR). Therefore, it is my prime duty to publish the material facts relating to this matter, which is as under:- 

As per proposals of ongoing Cadre Restructuring, existing 2 CE Commissionerates are to be re-organized into 4 CE Commissionerates without any change/re-organization of existing 1 Customs Commissionerate. As per the said proposals, there will be only 80 Superintendents in new model of each Commissionerate therefore, total sanctioned strengthen of Superintendent appears to be 400 (80x5) posts. Today, sanctioned and working strengthen of Superintendent is 278 in Rajasthan therefore, during implementation of the CR only 122 (400-278) posts (approximately) appears to be available for promotion. On the basis of these posts, Inspectors upto batch of 1993 will only be promoted in 2014 after completion of 20 to 23 years. 

*       Thus, the prevailing acute stagnation is not going to be reduced or removed on the basis of the existing proposals of CR. 

** Some of our colleagues are discussing on creation of Audit Commissionerate in Rajasthan. In this regard, it is a material fact that the total number of 7637 posts of Superintendent were proposed & cleared by the Ministry of expenditure, but only 5150 posts of Superintendent have been cleared by the DOPT & COC. This has been resulted in cut of 2487 (7637-5150) posts of Superintendent that is why that Audit Commissionerate is appears to be allocated/sanctioned to Customs & Central Zone only as per discretion of the competent authorities of CBEC whereas in the original proposals Audit Commissionerate was proposed for every Central Excise & Customs Zone.
 

*** It has also gathered from the reliable sources that posts of Superintendent shown as 80 in new model of each commissionerate are not the final one due to the aforesaid reason. 

**** Some of our friends are calculating about 40 posts of Superintendent for consequential promotion on account of promotion to the grade of Assistant Commissioner during the CR. In this regard, it is to inform that as per history of such DPC, the same will be concluded at a very late stage. Further, fate of the said DPC is not known to anyone and possibility of litigation cannot be ruled out in this matter. Further, on the basis of those uncertain consequential posts, Inspectors upto batch of 1994 will only be promoted in 2014 after service of 20 years. 

In view of above, the Association team have not option except to do all out efforts on the following genuine & justified demands to remove/reduce the stagnation of our Cadre:- 

(A) (i) Creation of Audit Commissionerate in CE(JZ) as per the norms.
                         And
                   (ii) Creation of exclusive Service Tax Commissionerate in CE (JZ).
                        And
              (iii) Creation of new Customs Commissionerate in Rajasthan.       

(B) (i)  Creation of Audit Commissionerate in CE(JZ) as per the norms.
                 And
                   (ii) Creation of exclusive Service Tax Commissionerate in CE (JZ).
                               OR
             Sanction of separate 42 posts of Superintendent and 86 posts of Inspector for Service Tax administration as per the norms.
        And
      (iii) Creation of new Customs Commissionerate in Rajasthan.
                 OR
Sanction sufficient posts for International Airport, Jaipur and   LCS, Munabao. 

Our detailed representation is under examination by the Chief Commissioner of Central Excise (Jaipur Zone) i.e. Cadre Controlling Authority and likely to be forwarded alongwith his favorable recommendations in this week. 

As published earlier, the Association team had met with the Chairperson, Member (P&V), Director General (HRD) & Addl Director General (HRD) and apprised them 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 CR after approval by the Union Cabinet. 

The Cabinet note is under the prescribed process for presentation before the Cabinet and will to be approved on 07.11.2013. 

We are also planning for Delhi visit once a week for regular pursuance, effective watch on day to day developments and to safeguard our common interests. 

*The efforts of our energetic Comrade Abhay Singh, General Secretary may also be very useful as he is regular in touch with the office bearers of All India Association in this regard.

Your creative suggestion and active cooperation is the need of the hour for effective efforts/struggle.       

With regards & good wishes
Comradely yours,

B L Meena
PRESIDENT
