Ref. No. AICIEA/CBEC/43/2011                  24.01.2011 To, Shri. Sumit Dutt Majumder Chairman,Central Board of Excise &Customs, Ministry of Finance, North Block, New Delhi  Sir,                                  Sub: Cadre restructuring 2010-11 – Reg               We thank you for convening the meeting of all the recognized associations on 18.01.2011 and your efforts to bring in transparency while finalizing the restructuring proposal. While reiterating our submission to you on 16.12.2010 we would like to offer the following suggestions as our response to the presentation made in the meeting: Though it has been committed that regional disparity would be taken care off while allocating the posts, we submit that this should be coupled with a continuing in situ scheme, or else, regional disparity would again seep in within a couple of years from restructuring. While acknowledging that the proposed increase in Deputy/Assistant Commissioner is a substantial one, it has also to be appreciated that it would not be sufficient to give 2nd promotion to an inspector even in his 25th year. Hence an in situ promotion scheme should be made part of the cadre restructuring. There is no justification in de linking it with cadre restructuring since catering to career aspirations is one among the prime objective of cadre restructuring. The posts arising at the level of Deputy/Assistant Commissioner out of restructuring should be filled purely based on stagnation and not according to ratio. The power to relax the recruitment rules may be invoked to achieve this purpose.  In anticipation of a favourable response, I remain.                                                                                         Yours faithfully                                                                                                                                                            KOUSIK ROY                                                 SECRETARY GENERAL

Due to some important reasons we are  publishing only the names of  members who have contributed. All those officers depositing contributions are requested to send their email address or postal address to sgaiceia@gmail.com so that necessary receipts can be issued by the Treasurer.

UPDATE ON SOME IMPORTANT ISSUES:

• The file of NFSG now in DOP&T, we are trying our level best , we have entrusted the responsibility to some very important person to track the file. It is to be noted that if this NFSG is through then whole of this cadre will get a good benefit;  a good no. of newly promoted superintendents, Inspectors ( direct and promotee) shall gate rs. 5400/- grade pay after completion of 4 years service in the gradepay of rs. 4800/-. We have already filed CAVEAT and waiting for department’s decision. Request all of you to contribute as fast as possible.
• We have persuaded the third MACP of promote officers and we are hopeful that a positive response we may get within a short while.
• Expenditure sent back the file containing the issue of fixation of scale, hopefully  minimum scale would be granted to all officers  like CSS and CSSS . 

UPDATE ON THE 18.01.2011 MEETING

Chairman, CBEC convened a meeting of the representatives of all the recognized association on 18.01.2011 at 4 PM. Member (P&V), DG (HRD), ADG (HRD) and other officials from HRD were present. The HRD made a presentation on the main points raised by associations and the response of the administration to it. The issues were categorized as those relating to cadre restructuring being considered favourably; not relating to cadre restructuring being considered favourably and relating to cadre restructuring but not being considered favourably. The major issues that have a bearing on our cadre and discussed in the meeting are the following. 

1. 1.    Vacancies arising out of CR should be filled up by promotion – Accepted and also considers to extend it beyond one year.
2. 2.    Creation of separate service for promotion of Group B Executive officers – Under consideration independent of CR
3. 3.    Promotion of Group B gazetted executive officers directly to STS – Under formulation independent of CR
4. 4.    DR quota in Inspector cadre to be reduced – Under consideration independent of CR
5. 5.    Residency period for promotion from Inspector/PO/EO grade should be common to all three cadres – RR would be amended suitably.
6. 6.    All Inspectors who have completed more than 10 years of service should be promoted as Superintendent – To the extent possible allocation would be done to achieve this end.
7. 7.      In those zones where no new executive commissionerates have been sanctioned, the normative allocation of staff may render some staff surplus and hence the allocation of posts to audit commissionerates in these zones should be over and above the existing strength – It would be ensured that no staff strength in any grade would be rendered surplus and efforts would be made to bring parity in the rate of promotion among zones.
8. 8.      Bringing the promotional level of Inspector/PO/EO on par and revising the ratio for promotion to AC level before CR – Matter sub judice and revision under active consideration/parity under examination separately.

The Chairman asked the associations to prefer representation if any before 27^th of January so that Board can finalize their proposal and send it to IFU/Expenditure by mid February. Chairman also announced that an in situ scheme for promotion from Inspector to Superintendent and from Superintendent to AC is in the pipeline.

Letter from our Ex- Secy Salem Branch

Dear Koushik, Arun & friends,

Firstly wish you and all a very happy, prosperous and successful new year 2011 for our Inspectors Association. Read your Circular 9/2010 as the subject of NFSG is discussed I would share the following few lines with you and our circle/branches.

I would thank you and Com. Arun for the proactive stand and support you have taken to present before Member (P&V) not to go on appeal against the High Court of Madras order WP 13225/2010. I was very impressed to receive even the Vakalat from Com. Arun for filing CAVEAT before the Supreme Court. Circles/Branches kindly note that only if we are filing CAVEAT with the Supreme Court the Court would not stay the favourable order we have obtained without obtaining our views/counter. So the Association has taken the right step in filing CAVEAT. But Circles/Branches should be aware of the cost of legal battle and that is why I have from appealing in the High Court itself repeating that beyond HighCourt stage I cannot proceed the fight on my own resources. As enquired with the counsels, it would take Rs. 50000- to pay the counsel for each time the case comes up before Supreme Court. I have received many mails as well as felicitations through the Association's blog and I could understand the members interest in fighting out the case to the end if the Department is not acceding to our request not to file appeal. Contribution from members itself would not be a problem and if properly presented we could very well mobilise the required fund. I myself would contribute Rs. 1000- for this cause to startwith and hope all our circles/branches would also contribute liberally to this cause. With atleast 5000 members in our fold a contribution of Rs. 100- to Rs. 200- per member would suffice to meet our requirement to fight out this case in Supreme Court.

With regards

M. Subramaniam
now Superintendent of Central Excise,
Karur Division, Trichy Comm'rate


This letter issued in consultation with Com. M. Subramaniam now working as Superintendent, the work done by Sri M. Subramaniam was a conscious decision of our Central Executive Committe meting and as decided in that  meting Association has taken full responsibility to fight the case. Your good wishes and financial help is utmost necessary, certainly we invite your valued comments; contributions should be sent to the Association A/c forth with. There is no quota for any zone or circle, contribute as much as you can and should be through Branch/circle Secretary and where there is no formation of Association that can be remitted directly to the Association fund, detailed a/c's in this regard will be published by the end of June 2011.
