“Frustrated Central Excise Superintendents to demonstrate before residences of top brass

RAVI Malik, Secretary General of the All India Association of Central Excise Gazetted Executive Officers informs "Nothing being left to be happy in the life of the Superintendents of Central Excise, Service Tax & Customs in relation of career, pay or any other service matter, these officers will gather before the residences of Joint Secretary (Admn.) and Member (P&V) of Central Board of Excise & Customs on 20.09.14 in a symbolic manner to submit their pain to these authorities under the revival of Satyagraha programme in New Delhi. Same programme will be observed before the residences of Chairperson of CBEC and Revenue Secretary on 21.09.14. Despite of total demoralisation, disappointment, job dissatisfaction, demotivation, humiliation & frustration, the revenue targets are regularly being achieved above the set targets by the sincere, committed & dedicated efforts of these officers but nobody is worried about their career prospects."

In spite of the huge cadre review these officers are not happy as still many of them will not get promotions. What makes these officers angry is that the cadre review notified in December 2013 is yet to be implemented, while officers are retiring every month frustrated over that elusive promotion. CBEC is trying to promote about 400 officers but it seems even this is not coming through as the annual reports of some of the officers are missing. In every Commissionerate you find agitated Superintendents running around to find out how their missing reports can be retrieved. "Why should they be held responsible for the lapse of the senior officers", is what they angrily question.

The other day a just promoted JC was lamenting before me that their promotion was delayed by eight months!

Nobody seems to be happy in the Department! ”
