Letter to the Chief Commissioner, Ahmedabad Zone

F.No. AICEIA/RJT/1/2008

Date: 09.11.2010

To,
The Chief Commissioner,
Ahmedabad Zone,
Ahmedabad.

Sir,

Sub: Allowing resumption of Inspectors promoted to the Grade of Superintendent at their respective Commissionerate.

*****

With reference to the subject matter, the situation prevailing at Rajkot, Bhavnagar and Customs (Prev) Commissionerate Jamnagar has compelled this association to make this representation for your kind consideration.

Recently 21 inspectors + 2 inspectors have been promoted from the grade of Inspector to the grade of Superintendent Group B vide Establishment Order No. 40/2010 dated 29.10.2010 issued by the Chief Commissioner, Central Excise, Customs and Service Tax, Vadodara,.

Due to administrative exigencies for issuing detailed order of sector/Commissionerate, there is time gap of 25 to 30 days. However, normally the promoted officers are provided with the period of 15 days, within which they are supposed join/accept their promotion order. At the time of issuing promotion order, the officers are placed at the disposal of Ahmedabad Zonal office. During this intervening period, officers promoted from other than Commissionerates of Ahmedabad Sector, are placed in very peculiar situation. Since the Sector orders are not issued, sectoral cadre controlling authority at Rajkot is not in position to accept the resumption/acceptance report from the promoted officers. Therefore, for few days, till the sector orders are issued, the officers from Kandla, Rajkot, Bhavnagar and Customs (Prev) Commissionerate Jamnagar are compelled to join the zonal establishment office at Ahmedabad. This Association is of opinion and request your honour to issue suitable instructions to the sectoral cadre controlling authority at Rajkot, to accept resumption report of the officers promoted at their respective Commissionerate where they are presently posted, just as was system prevailing in the erstwhile period. This would spare the promoted officers from avoidable hardship they have to undergo at the time promotion, dampening the spirit of joy which has come to them after a long wait of almost 17/18 years. Joining at Ahmedabad would further entail the officer to get relieved from Kandla/ Bhavnagar/ Jamnagar/ Rajkot, join at Ahmedabad, again getting relieved from Ahmedabad, joining at Rajkot Sector, and again joining to the Commissionerate, where they are eventually posted.

Prayer: To issue suitable instructions to the Sectoral Cadre Controlling Authority, Rajkot so that they are able to accept resumption/acceptance report from the officers promoted from the grade of Inspector to the grade of Superintendent at their respective Commissionerate.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Yours faithfully,

(Dilip J. Pandya)
