Com. Anupam Neeraj, President and the undersigned were in
Delhi from March 23rd to 25th, 2015 for meetings
with the officers of CBEC, DGHRD, 7th CPC and
Office Bearers of other Associations.
During the meeting with the Member (P&V), we submitted
the resolutions passed by the Central Executive Committee at Kolkata and
discussed all the resolutions in details. We also raised the issue of
non-conducting of DPC for promotion to the grade of the Superintendent (CE) in
Chennai Zone and Mumbai Zone. The Member (P&V) called the Cadre
Controlling Commissioner of Chennai Zone over telephone and asked the reasons
for not conducting the DPC. Further, she told him to expedite the matter (even
if they have to file MA in CAT) and conduct the DPC without any delay. She
also assured that the DPC in Mumbai Zone will also be taken up on the priority
basis. We asked the outcome of the study conducted by the Study Group on
Stagnation and Regional Disparity. We were told the tenure of the
Study Group is over and no further extension was granted to Sh. Prakash
Chandra, Consultant. So, the DGHRD and the ADG, Nacen, Delhi
submitted its report to Board and the same is under consideration at the level
of Member (P&V). When approved, the report will be shared with
the staff Associations and will be placed on the website. We also
discussed the GST and role of Inspectors in GST regime.
Later, we met the DGHRD and we were told that the recommendations
of the Study Group include the All India Seniority list of Inspector. We
discussed the matter related to one percent incremental scheme and Health
Insurance Scheme. We told her that the actual benefit should be
passed on to our cadre too, who are working day and night to collect revenue.
She told that the large amount of share of one percent incremental scheme goes
to the vehicles used by the field formations. She accepted the fact that
this should be checked and any misuse should be brought into the notice. She
told that this year more than 3000 mobile phones are being supplied to field
formations from one percent incremental scheme and the same will be increased
in coming days. We discussed the biased draft RR of IRS, and
discussed our demands in this regard. The RR has already been
forwarded by the Board after suitable recommendations to DoPT and we have to
keep close watch on the progress so that the cadre should not suffer. We
had detail discussion on all the resolutions of Kolkata CEC and she asked us
all the resolutions in individual letters along with the notes and relevant
documents. She assured us that she will also forward our specific
demands along with Board's comments to the 7th CPC. We told the
DGHRD about our concern in GST regime and apprised her about our resolution
regarding well defined duties & responsibilities of Inspectors' in GST
regime. She assured us positive results as the department is going to face
sea change. She told us that the DGHRD has not published any
study material on GST yet however they are recommending the departmental
officers the book - Background Material on GST, published by The Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India and available
at- http://www.icaiknowledgegateway.org/media/k2/attachments/ICAI-Background_Material_on_GST.pdf Further,
we asked about the status of our previous correspondences on Abolition of
Uniform. The DGHRD told us that they have recommended the abolition
of Uniform from Central Excise and the same is under progress. Later,
we also met Sh. Metta Rama Rao, President, IRS Officers' Association and
discussed many issues.
Com. Devendra Kumar, Liaison Secretary was also present
during the meetings.
This time, we met the Under Secretary and Secretary 7th CPC
on 24th and 25th of March 2015. We discussed our specific demands
with the 7th CPC. The 7th CPC asked us about the data related to
other cadres of Central Excise also, as only we (from Central Excise)
approached the 7th CPC yet (except Gr. A Promotee Officers Association). Moreover,
our department also not approached the 7th CPC yet. We presented our
specific demands and they were convinced that we are having poor pay scale and
poor promotional avenues as well. Hence, the 7th CPC assured us that
these facts will be kept on record while submitting the recommendations. We
have been told that we will again be called by the 7th CPC during April,
2015.
Thanking you,
Yours fraternally,
