JCM & Meeting with the new Chief Commissioner

Dear Comrades, 

The scheduled combined JCM meeting of all three Commissionerates held on 28th March, 2013 wherein points of DPC, Service Tax Ranges and, many points of basic infrastructure facilities were raised & discussed. The following points were settled in our common interest:- 

Ø The issue of tenure & non-sensitive status of Service Tax Ranges will be decided examining detailed verbal & written submissions before the AGT. The Chief Commissioner is also principally agreed on the issue.

Ø The DPC of the year 2013-14 & 2014-15 for promotion to the grade of Superintendent will be held on 31st March, 2014 and orders will be issued accordingly.

Ø The periodical JCM will be held in all Divisional Offices without fail. The DRs are requested to ensure their participation in the same.

Ø The Association's subscription will compulsory be deducted from monthly salary of subscribed members and will be transferred in the Association’s account and remarks will also be mentioned in LPC at the time of transfer during AGT.

Ø The basic infrastructure facilities will be ensured at LCS Munabao and all Divisional/Range Offices. The Divisional Representatives are requested to raise their grievances in their Divisional JCM meeting under intimation to us.

We also meet with Shri S.S. Lenka, the Chief Commissioner of Customs & Central Excise, Rajasthan as a curtsey visit and appraised him about working condition of our Cadre. Apart from disparity in promotion, we also submitted some suggestions for some modifications in the existing Transfer Policy of our Cadre for common welfare & smooth functioning of the administration. You are requested to please submit your suggestions, if any, for modification in Transfer Policy immediately.

Shri Lenka, the Chief Commissioner was kind enough to listen us patiently and also assured for the utmost cooperation in common welfare. 

Some Association members are ready & preparing documents to file cases before the competent Court for justice through all India seniority during implementation of Cadre Restructuring. The Association is extending all possible cooperation for the justice. 

As per reliable sources, the Finance Minister remained busy and likely to attend only most urgent files/issues on 30th or 31st March, therefore, status of Notification for CR will be known only on 31st March. 

With Regards,

Yours Comradely,

No Justice ! Move for Legal Action + Agitation

Dear Comrades,

Please see news published by Comrade Ajit KG, Secretary General on the Federation's Blog at "aiceia.blogspot.com".

I would like to draw your kind attention towards our post dated 7th March, 2014 wherein it was informed that the Board is going to reduce qualifying service for promotion from 8 to 2 years, which will ultimately result in increase of regional disparity in promotion. The Association team of Rajasthan Circle also informed this fact to Office Bearers of our all India Federation, but they not taken the matter seriously.

During our discussion on 5th March, 2014 with the Chairperson, 3 Members, DG (HRD), ADG (HRD) & DG (DRI) it was also came to know that they are not agree/ready to implement all India seniority during implementation of CR in compliance of decision of the Supreme Court. They were of the opinion to implement the same prospectively. Our team lodged strong protest on the spot before the authorities and these facts was also informed to our Office Bearers of our All India Federation for immediate action, but we heard no response despite of repeated calls, mails & sms except a simple letter to the Chairperson.

During CEC Meet on 23.2.2014 at Mumbai it was resolved that agitation programmes and legal action would be initiated for the real justice. The Federation neither finalized Agitation programmes nor issued Notice to the Chairperson during this crucial period of one month. Rajasthan Team has reminded the Federation from time to time, but all in vain. Now, there is no option except to seek real justice from the competent Court.

 

The Rajasthan Circle has already passed resolution during General Boady Meeting of whole Rajasthan on 22nd March, 2014 for necessary action to remove the disparity in promotion and legal assistance for all India seniority. Comrade Abhay Singh, General Secretary is doing all out efforts in this regard, but it is pertinent to inform you that our Federation has failed to take right step at the right time.

 

Present position of CR:- The Notification for re-organized jurisdiction of new Commissionerates and numbers of post is ready with the Board and is to be issued after approval of the Revenue Secretary, MOS & Finance Minister. The FM is expected to reach Delhi on 27th March to attend some urgent issues/files of his last working days. If the awaited Notification is not approved by the FM on 27th or 28th Marh, then the same will be issued after approval of the FM of new Government.

 

Friends - Please remain in touch with Comrade Abhay Singh, General Secretary and extend all possible cooperation for the real justice though the competent Court without loss of time.

Agitation for Justice:-  We are waiting for Notice/Call of the Federation. The Federation has been informed that I will lead "indefinite Hunger Strike" before the CC, Jaipur Zone in common interest of the Cadre.
 

Comradely yours,

BL Meena

Little Hope of Justice

Dear Comrades/Friends,

Today, we met with Shri S.B. Singh, the CBEC's new Member - Central Excise (ex-CC of Jaipur Zone) and submitted folder (containing all relevant documents) for ready reference appraising him about attitude of competent authorities of the Board vis-a-vis possible increase in regional disparity in promotion during implementation of Cadre Restructuring.

During farewell ceremony of the Hon’ble Member of CBEC, the Commissioner of CE –Jaipur-I, Comrade Sushil Pareek, General Secretary of Superintendents' Association and Abhay Singh, General Secretary of Inspectors’ Association have drawn his kind attention to safeguard the common interest of our stagnated & discriminated Cadre.

Shri Singh - the Member in his blessing speech acknowledged the tireless efforts of our Association and assured to do his best possible efforts also at the Board level for justice with our Cadre. He also advised the Commissioner, Jaipur-I for Delhi visit and to appraise him about present status of the justified demands of the Association and the same  has been noted by the Commissioner for immediate compliance.

This Association shall ever be grateful for such a great response of the Member & Commissioner and hope for some improvement in the present adverse situation.

Thus, we have a little hope of justice as the present proposals/decisions of Committees for implementation of the CR are yet to be examined & approved by the full Board meeting. We are also planning to adopt some other effective steps in remaining short period for betterment of the Cadre.

Note: - The date of earlier proposed emergency General Body meeting will be informed by Comrade Abhay Singh, General Secretary.

Yours Comradely,

BL Meena                                                                         
PRESIDENT                                                               

Board's step to increase regional disparity

Dear Comrades,

It has been learnt from reliable sources that the Board has approved relaxation in qualifying service from 8 to 2 years for promotion of Inspectors for undue promotional benefits in some CE Zones and amended Recruitment Rules appears to be issued by the DOPT accordingly.

 

This step of the Board without removing existing acute regional disparity will ultimately increase the regional disparity in our Cadre. If so happened, Inspectors having 20 years service will not be promoted during implementation of ongoing Cadre Restructuring whereas Inspectors of only 2 years service will be promoted in some of the Zones.

 

Friends - Please discuss & circulate this news among all the colleagues and send your valuable comments on the blog, by e-mail or by phone to decide further line of action.

 

Comradely yours,

B L Meena
