GOOD MORNING

Dear Friends,
We were on a short trip to Delhi from 20th to 24th instant to pursue the restructuring work , that is likely to be finalised byHRM within a couple of weeks; in addition to that we got an appointment, of the Secretary General of Suerintendents Association on 21st of this month.
As everybody anxious about the Kolkata High Court Case, we applogise for not updating the blog for quite some time, on 17th of June Department submitted its affidavit to court and the appellant was initially given one week time for their rejoinder to file, the appellant again asked for an extension of time; right after the submission of the rejoinder department will get another oppurtunity to submit addtional arguement if any.
Some members/non-members/circle Secretaries suspected about the activity of the Association; in fact for submission of Affidavit govt took three months while court has given three weeks time initially. It is true the situation is unbearable for the All India Association and certainly when association actively trying to expedite the case, it can not be said that the case has no merit and it is also true that for this reason entire cadre should not suffer. Only to pursue submission of affidavit association spent at least twenty days in different formation of CBEC .
We know that most of our members learned gentlemen, though we have only 6000(app.) mebership of which we are getting subscription of only 4500 members. Some of the units failed to understand the necessity of sending of subscription regularly. In fact it is not possible to give every detail in the blog, as of now AICEIA is the most dynamic Associationunder CBEC.
In delhi on 21st instant we requested Secretary General of Superintendent Association and Secretary General of Ministerial Association in seperate meetings to form a Departmental JCA as it exists in CBDT. Though Ministerial Association was positive we have not yet got any positive response from the Superintendent Association. For revised pay scale from 01.01.1996/1986 and the discrimination of superintendents in the restructuring we requested superintendent Association to plan for agitational programme, it is transpired by one of the leaders of superintendent Association from pune that for both the issues can be tkaen up in Supreme Court, Our Association's view was that we have got hundreads of favourable judgement in our favour over the years but failed to implement most of them beacause of our weekness of organising organisational action programme. However it appeared to us that our senior brother's leadership are not keen to take any action programme, and moreover they want programme if any that should be on Saturdays and Sundays.
However, we would like to request our members/nonmembers keep sending your advice and take part in active discussion with the superintendent Association for achieving our goal.
Thanking you
AICEIA

Kolkata High Court case on promotion .... update

Chief Commissioner Kokata, along with Commissioner Kolkata-I Commissionerate and his team of officers is all set to appear for the case in question, it appears that the case may come up for hearing on 21st instant, affidavit submitted to KOlkata High Court, affirmation already submitted by Commissioner Kolkata-I, we are of the view that there could be a modification in the injunction order and court may allow promotion till the final outcome of the case.

We are not updating our blog regularly as we are yet to achieve new goal, Association is pursuing each and every single case like 1) Notional fixation from 01.01.1996 without arrears ( we have no objection in the other guy's demand of 01.01.1986 if it is achievable), 2) Removal of stagnation, 3) additional increment for all who ever have joined before 01.07. 2006, 3) removal of Rs. 5400/- grade pay in two different pay bands, 4) rectification of anomaly caused by MACP, 5) rummaging allowance, 6) daily allowance to all inspectors and many other issues but amongst them the first four issues are prime by merit.

For the first point we are struggling to achieve it from long back , in the past two years we met several ministers inclusive of finance minister on this issue, which have yielded no result that is well known to you.

Recently we met MOS Revenue and Superintendent Association met several ministers and secretaries on this issue. Recently we tried to contact Superintendent Association in Delhi and requested to organise a joint meeting along with Income-Tax and Customs organisations, we assured that our association is regularly contacting with other associations in CBEC inclusive of the Association of Narcotics, so, if The All India Association of superintendents of Central Excise is ready to convene a meeting we will be able to bring all the other Associations of Revenue Department so that a joint action programme could be chalked out, we are still awaiting a positive reply from the superintendent Association who are very busy in pursuing this issue in front of different VVIPs. Persuation without any action may not and can not yield any result.

For the Second point it is gathered that the proposal for creation of no. of class-I officers is nearly halved by our Board, we shall try to confirm it in our next visit to HRM, here also our association feels that action is very much necessary, we know that our leadership is not always ready to take up action on the plea that members are not willing!!!! But our experience says that it is our office bearers who are the key people to convince our members about the seriousness of the issue. Finally any action without the active participation of the Superintendent Association may not be successful.

Dear friends,

Hope all of you are in good health, Association struggling its level best for the betterment of the cadre; recently we have paid two consecutive visits in Delhi, we are trying our level best so that the injunction is lifted, it should be clear to our members that Association has no intention to favour any section of our members, everyone is equally close to us, we want justice should prevail ; in fact the case is part hard . as of now I am enclosing a recent letter of Board; kindly try to give proper reply from every corner of the country forthwith....

My dear friends we are not getting any time these days to update our blog; keep on sending your views, we are getting your updates regularly, have a nice day....

Meeting with MOS

on 22nd April, 2010 Secretary General, President, Vice President (East & South) and some other circle secretaries and Branch Secretaries along with former Secretary General Sri R.Manimohan went to Delhi to meet the Hon'ble Minister Of State ( Revenue), unfortunately we could not meet him on that date and briefed our three points to the OSD to the Hon'ble Minister, on 23rd morning we were able to meet the Minister, Minister recommended our revised Payscale representation to Secretary Expenditure and assured us about the issue of stagnation will be solved shortly and Hon'ble minister has already discussed the point with the Chairman C.B.E.C. Meeting with the Hon'ble minister was very positive and now persuasion may take an important role towards solution of the pending issues.

All the circles and branches whose D.D.O certificates have not been submitted yet are requested to send their DDO Certificates along with their subscription due to the All India Association within 60 days of publication of this copy of recogniton renewal . We would like to reiterate that as par CCS RSA Rule (1993) local associations can not function without being a part of the All Inida Association, hence all the local Associations who are collecting subscription from Inspectors are supposed to be part of the AICEIA( in whatever name it may be);we would like to request these Associations to change their name as par our constitution within 60 days . It is worthy to mention that Inspectors as on date have a single organisation through out India.

Many thanks to all of you.

TEAM AICEIA
