To,
The Vice-President/Joint Secretary,
East/West/Central/North/South Zones,
All India Central
Excise Inspectors’ Association.
The President/General
Secretary,
Branches/Circles/Clusters
(All)
All India Central
Excise Inspectors’ Association.
Comrades,
Sub: Execution of Basic Work in Order to Strengthen Organization:
Formation of Branch & Circle Committee and Submission of Details of
Deduction of Membership Fee & DDO Certificates: Reg.
Please refer to the subject mentioned
above.
2. It
is a settled principle of Organization that its strength depends largely upon
two factors:- first upon the number of members and secondly, upon the caliber
and character of its leaders.
3. In this regard, the undersigned feels that
serious steps need to be taken in respect of first factor, if the Association
is to be strengthened and the scope is ample, as a large number of officers
have joined the Department in the last couple of years and it is learnt that
most of them are not members of this Association. If these officers are brought
under the umbrella of Association, it will add to the strength of the
Association. As such, all the Presidents/General Secretaries are earnestly
requested to launch a massive membership drive in their respective Branches/Circles/Clusters
to induct the new but highly energetic and efficient officers in the
Association. The Zonal In-charges are requested to supervise the membership
drive in their respective Zones.
4. Since, the jurisdiction of a Branch/Circle
normally happens to be very large, regular interaction with all the members may
not be possible; however, the Presidents/General Secretaries are requested to
undertake tours and hold meetings with members at regular intervals, even in
the remotest locations in their respective Branches/Circles/Clusters to
strengthen the grass root level Organization. This exercise will not only
ensure sense of belongingness and confidence among the Cadre, but will
definitely help in strengthening Organization.
5. During the last CEC, it was unanimously
decided that all the Presidents/General Secretaries will submit the details like
“total sanctioned strength”, “total working strength”, “total membership”,
“status of DDO Certificates”, “date of last election with number of members
participated” etc. in their respective Branches & Circles with the
undersigned by 30.04.2017 and clearance of dues and submission of DDO
Certificates etc. was to be completed by 15.05.2017, so that necessary &
timely steps may be taken to strengthen Organization but, till date, only a few
Branches & Circles like Rajkot, Kolkata, Chennai, Kerala, Coimbatore,
Patna, Mumbai, Vapi and Raipur have complied with the decision/resolution.
Further, the Zonal In-charges have also shown not much interest & desired
attention in getting compliance at Branch & Circle level of their Zones.
The Office-Bearer who was entrusted with this work has also not paid desired
attention towards the task of strengthening of organization at grass root
level. Due to which immediate steps need to be taken. Further, at this juncture,
the undersigned must appreciate Com. Rabish Chandra, Vice-President (South
Zone) for his commendable job in strengthening the organization in South Zone.
6. It is also learnt that several Branches
& Circles have not been following the procedures as laid down in the
Constitution of AICEIA especially in Article 4 (1) (a) and some
Presidents/General Secretaries without any membership at the concerned
Branches/Circles/Clusters are representing AICEIA before the administration
either through personal visits or through letters which has been viewed
seriously. Some Branches like Meerut, Lucknow etc. are also involved in writing
letters directly to Board and even higher establishments. Some of these
Branches/Circles are running in a situation where either no deductions have
been materialized or the required portions have not been deposited with the
AICEIA. Even no member has been enrolled for years. This is a sorry state of
affairs culminating in violation of the provisions of Article 7 (1) & (2)
of the Constitution of AICEIA and shows the indifferent attitude towards the
Association. It is to clarify that new Branches/Circles may be created only as
per the procedure laid down under Article 17 of the Constitution of AICEIA. Branches/Circles
like Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Meerut, Lucknow etc. are directed to adhere to the
procedures as laid down in the Constitution of AICEIA failing which the
undersigned will be bound to take necessary steps.
7. Keeping in view the above situation,
the undersigned, in exercise of the powers vested in him by the Constitution of
AICEIA feels it necessary to nominate Observers on zonal basis to strengthen
organization at grass root level and to supervise the functioning of the
activities of the Association. As such; in exercise of the powers vested in the
undersigned by virtue of Article 24 read with Article 25 & 28 of the
Constitution of AICEIA, the Office-Bearers of All India Body are hereby
nominated for the aforesaid purpose in terms of following scheme:
Sr.
No.

Name

Anubhuti
Chatterjee, Asst. Secretary General
|

02

Pratap Singh, Liaison Secretary

& Central

8. Moreover, it is to clarify that in
terms of the provisions of Article 9 of the Constitution of AICEIA, not to talk
of Office-Bearer, if the Membership Fee has not been deducted for one year, no
one can remain even an ordinary member of the AICEIA, hence, such persons are
requested to withdraw themselves immediately from the organizational posts
& get their names removed from the official letter heads.
9. Last but not the least; it is expedient
to mention that many of the ex-Office-Bearers who have got promotion to the
next grade as also others who are no more Office-Bearers in terms of the
provisions of Article 9 & 10 respectively of the Constitution of AICEIA are
still continuing in the WhatsApp Groups of AICEIA which are impliedly meant for
the Office-Bearers for Cadre of Inspectors only. Although, the bonding &
association with our ex-Comrades, which has been developed over the years may
not be ended and the same shall continue as their guidance, support &
co-operation is invaluable and much needed for the Association. But, the
reorganization of Association is also the need f the hour. Hence, it is
desirable that all those persons should withdraw themselves from the WhatsApp
Groups of AICEIA.
With
best wishes and hope that together we can and we will make our Association
stronger than ever,
Fraternally yours,
-Sd/-
