suggestions and provide more reasoned suggestions for improvement of the same.

therefore, please respond timely & effectively so that consolidated
suggestions can be submitted to office bearers of our Association for effective

Point-wise suggestions on draft Transfer Policy:-
General Guidelines:-
6.
On promotion, officer should be retained on the same station if post is
available on the said station. If more officers are promoted in
comparison to vacant posts, the officer having longest station tenure should
only be shifted.
9.
(i) The prescribed qualifying service for promotion
to the grade of Superintendent is 8 years whereas as on today no Inspector is
being promoted before completion of at least 12 years i.e. 150% of the
qualifying service. Moreover, as a result of cadre restructuring executive
officers have been promoted as Superintendent after completion of 23 years of
service in Inspector cadre.
(ii) The qualifying service for promotion from
Superintendent to Assistant Commissioner is prescribed as 2 years therefore, it
is not be proper of judicious decision to dis-qualify Superintendents on
account of experience even after completion of more than twice qualifying
service in the executive cadres.
(iii) If newly Assistant Commissioner can supervise
the audit work without experience of 5 years then there should be no problem
for a Superintendent, who has already served such a long period in the
executive cadre.
Though there should be
comparison in experience for posting in Audit work for better results
therefore, Superintendents having combined service of 15 years in both executive cadres should be
deployed for the audit work.
10.
(i). There is no justification to assign
non-sensitive charge on promotion therefore, Superintendents should be posted
on sensitive or non-sensitive looking into his immediate posting in Inspector
cadre.
(ii). Similarly, there is no justification to
assign non sensitive charge on reversion from Customs Commissionerate. The
officer should be posted on sensitive or non-sensitive posting looking into his
immediate posting in Customs Commissionerate.
I-Station Tenure:-
(i) The station tenure for Central
Excise Division Chittorgarh, Pali & Bikaner should also be only 2 years.
(ii) Similarly, station tenure for
Customs Divisions Sriganganagar & Bikaner should be only 1 year at par with
Customs Ranges.
The extension requests of willing officers should be
considered for a longer time for aforesaid stations.
II-Allocation of Commissionerate:-
Para 4.5
The word “prescribed
complete tenure” should be inserted alongwith both restrictions
because in many cases the officers have been transferred/are transfered from
those postings/stations on account of the administration’s exigencies without
completion of the prescribed tenure.
Para 4.6
(i). The tenure
of all non-sensitive postings should be only one (1) year in any case.
(ii) The prescribed period
of sensitive posting is 1 year Customs formations whereas 2 years in Central
Excise formations. Thus, sensitive posting in Customs formations is itself a
complete sensitive postings therefore, while posting in Central Excise or
Customs formations vice-versa the period of sensitive posting in Customs
formation should not be clubbed for the purpose of completion of 2 years sensitive
posting in Central Excise formation.
(iii) Similarly,
if on account of the administration’s exigencies an officer is
transferred/shifted from one sensitive posting to another sensitive posting
within Central Excise formations, he should compulsory be rotated on
non-sensitive posting immediately on completion of combined tenure of 2
years.
III-Local rotation at a station:-
As submitted & discussed
earlier on several occasions, it is again requested that the tenure in Service
Tax formations should be only 1 year and officers of Service Tax should be
rotated in sensitive posting of Central Excise or Audit after accordingly.
V-Miscellaneous/Exception:-
(i) Normally,
requests for transfer or extension on account of study of child in Class X or
Class XII receives for Jaipur and Kota stations therefore, sufficient posts
should be permanently be diverted to these stations from other stations or
Commissionerates so that other needy officers can also have a chance to serve
on these stations to discharge their family obligations/responsibilities such
as; look after of oldage parents, engagement/ marriage of their marriageable
children etc.
(ii) In any case
Lady Officer should NOT be assigned sensitive posting during extension of the
prescribed station tenure.
(iii) The
provisions of Transfer Policy should strictly be followed without any excuse to
any one and office bearers of the Association should also be a part of the
prescribed committee for examination of any special case.
The Headquarters of all Audit Circles should be at Jaipur:-
There is no justification to shift Audit
Circles out of Jaipur. In this regard supporting submissions are as under:-
(i) The
Headquarters of Audit Commissionerate will remain at Jaipur.
(ii) The MCM of all Audit Circles
is prescribed under chairmanship of the Commissioner of Audit alongwith all the
Commissioners of Central Excise therefore, MCM will be held at Jaipur.
(iii) All posts
of the Additional Commissioner will only at at Hqrs, Jaipur.
(iv) All files of desk review have to be
approved by the Additional Commissioner.
(v) If Audit
Circles are shifted at those places there will be no savings of TA/DA because
the Audit officers have to frequently visit at Jaipur for day to day work such
as – desk review approval, discussion with the Additional Commissioner, MCM
meeting, IAR & SCN approval etc.
(vi) If Audit Circles are shifted
at Alwer, Bhiwadi, Udaipur or Jodhpur there will be requirement of separate
buildings, infrastructure facilities and residential quarters at those
stations.
(vii) In Jaipur,
sufficient government residential accommodations are available and Audit
Commissionerate can be functioned in a single building smoothly.
In view of above, it is
requested that looking into the geographically condition of Rajasthan all Audit
Circles should only be stationed at Jaipur for smooth functioning of the Audit
Commissionerate and staff welfare.
