ALL INDIA CENTRAL
EXCISE INSPECTORS’ ASSOCIATION, RAJKOT
BRANCH
F.No.
AICEIA/RJT/1/2008 Date: 26.05.2014
To,
The
Chief Commissioner,
Central
Excise Ahmedabad Zone,
Ahmedabad.
Sir,
Sub: Issuance
of AGT 2014 orders - reg.
Sir, as your honour is already aware that the AGT
2014 orders were not issued as it was expected that the Cadre restructuring in
CBEC is likely to be implemented in the month of May. The messages issued by
the Chairman CBEC also informed that the notifications are expected to be
issued by 23.05.2014. However the notifications are not issued and on other
hand some order issued by the CBEC are also kept on hold. This gives an
impression that the Cadre Restructuring process will be delayed.
Sir, Rajkot Sector comprises of three
Commissionerates i.e. Central Excise Commissionerate Rajkot
& Bhavnagar
and Customs Preventive Commissionerate Jamnagar. The jurisdiction overseen by
these Commissionerates is entire Saurashtra region. The distance from one end
to other end of this region is more than 500 kms. And top of it, it boasts of
very hostile and far-flung areas and vast coastline at inhospitable places
where the Customs and Central Excise office are found dotted.
We are now in the last week of May and it is about
time by which ideally the Annual General Transfer exercise should be over.
During AGT inter-exchange or intra-exchange of the officers from one
Commissionerate to another or within Commissionerate takes place. Owing to
vastness of this jurisdiction, often the officers are required to shift their
family and domicile, leaving little time to cope up with the situation.
Shifting family and domicile accompanies with it many arduous hardship and
tasks, which are not quite facile to manage. Admission for their kids/wards at
a school/college, finding appropriate accommodation, getting utilities
connections at a new place of posting, far away from their present posting, are
some of the difficulties that stares at the officer in such event. Under the given circumstances timely
issuance of AGT orders assumes great importance and provides much needed succor
to the officers.
Sir, the members of this Association are quite
worried and anxious on this count and therefore we urge your kind honour to
issue suitable directions to the Committee to issue the AGT orders for 2014
immediately and at least orders transferring officers to / from Customs by 31st
May.
Furthermore, it is sincerely requested that as the
annual general transfer orders are already over delayed leading to undue
hardship to the officers affected, it is once again requested to issue the
AGT-2014 orders as early as possible.
Thanking
you in anticipation,
Yours
faithfully,
(Dilip J. Pandya)
