Madam,
Sub: Facility of Inter Commissionerate transfer to Inspectors of Central Excise – Reg
The facility of Inter Commissionerate Transfer available to Inspectors of Central Excise in terms of Board’s policy dated 20.05.1980 was banned vide F. No. 22015/3/2004 – Ad III A dated 19.02.2004. Since the limited facility of deputation transfer introduced in lieu of ICT did not cater to the requirements of the cadre, this Association has been demanding the reinstatement of facility.
However, the Board on a fallacious premise that ICT would result in protracted litigation on seniority refused to reinstate the facility and instead made a partial relaxation to the ban ordered in the year 2004. At present Board has permits ICT only in the following category of cases.
- Where the spouse is working in Central Government or State Government
- Where the employee is appointed on compassionate grounds
- Where the employee is physically handicapped.
We wish to submit that the above are not the only categories of compassionate circumstances that call for considering the transfer request of an employee. A non exhaustive list of such circumstances is given below.
1. Employees having aged parents who are their dependant and who are unable to relocate.
2. Unmarried women employees working outside their home state.
3. Spouse employed in non-transferable non-government organization.
4. Employees with dependant siblings
5. Employees with health problems
We submit that restricting the facility of ICT to certain categories of cases is discriminatory and retrograde. Further in the present scenario of all India
We wish to point out a well contained ICT policy is prevailing in CBDT as per their F. No. A-22020/76/89-Ad VII dated 14.05.1990 and the same is operating smoothly in that department. No justification can be attributed for denying a similar facility for the employees in CBEC.Apex Court
Yours faithfully

Madam,
Sub: Proposal for grant of in-situ promotion to Group B Executive Cadres
I wish to place on record our gratitude to the Board for having granted in principle approval for an in-situ promotion scheme for Group B Executive cadres as has been demanded by this Association. The DGHRD vide letter dated 07.03.2011 have called for data from all zones in order to finalize the scheme. In this regard we wish to submit the following.
During our earlier interactions, we were given to understand that the proposed scheme would be a continuing one and would effectively replace the MACP scheme. However the format for compiling data circulated by DGHRD gives an impression that this is a one time measure. We would submit that unless the proposed scheme is a continuing one, it would further compound inter cadre disparities since all the Examiners and Preventive Officers who completes their qualifying service after regular appointment in that grade gets their promotion as Appraiser/Superintendent without any waiting period. The 1993 batch of Preventive Officers got their promotion in the year 2001-02 i.e during the last round of restructuring. Whereas in Central Excise 2668 Inspectors appointed between 1986 and 1993 are still awaiting promotion.
The proposal envisages to give in-situ promotion as Assistant Commissioner to all Group B Executive Officers with 20 years of service as Inspector and Superintendent together with a rider that there should be a minimum of 3 years residency in Superintendent grade. Apparently this part of the scheme is intended to give solace to 1991/92 batches of Inspectors and Preventive Officers since the 1992 batch of Examiners have already become Assistant Commissioner. We submit that here also the Central Excise Inspectors would be in the receiving end since 1476 Inspectors upto 1992 batch are yet to be promoted as Superintendents and almost all of the Superintendents who got their promotion within the last 3 years belongs to batches senior to 1992 and because of this particular requirement of residency, all of them would out of the scheme. It is therefore requested that while finalizing the scheme, the condition of residency may not be insisted upon for an initial period of 3 years. Similarly Superintendents with more than 25 years of service in Inspector & Superintendent Grade put together may be promoted in situ as Deputy Commissioners and not as Assistant Commissioners.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully

Madam,
Sub: Cadre restructuring 2011-filling up of post in the cadre of AC/DC- by upgradation to bring parity up to December 2001-reg.
At the time of implementation of the Cadre Restructuring proposal, 4247 vacancies in grade of Assistant Commissioner would arise consequent to the creation of fresh vacancies in that grade and higher grades. At present there is wide disparity in the promotional avenues, among the 3 feeder cadres to the extent that 2001 Appraiser (1992 Examiner) has already been promoted where as 1992 Superintendent of Central Excise (1975 Inspector) is till Superintendent. The existing ratio if adopted to fill up the vacancies will worsen the disparity. It has to be appreciated that one of the major objective of this cadre restructuring is alleviation of stagnation and doing away with inter cadre and intra cadre disparities among analogous posts. It is therefore imperative that these posts have to be filled up by following specific norms so as to achieve parity among the feeder cadres.
2. The details of the number of persons of three feeder cadres up to 2001 are given below.
Year of Promotion/entry into Group B Gazetted | Officers remaining in service as on 1/1/2011 waiting for promotion as Assistant Commissioners. | ||
Supdt of CE | Supdt of Cus(P) | Appraiser | |
1992 | 173 | 0 | 0 |
1993 | 411 | 0 | 0 |
1994 | 353 | 1 | 0 |
1995 | 337 | 1 | 0 |
1996 | 784 | 192 | 0 |
1997 | 1012 | 113 | 0 |
1998 | 155 | 70 | 0 |
1999 | 37 | 5 | 0 |
2000 | 124 | 4 | 0 |
2001 | 335 | 4 | 2 |
TOTAL | 3721 | 390 | 2 |
3. It may be seen from the above that the proposed number of posts would be required to promote all the Superintendents of Central Excise and Superintendents of Customs up to December 2001 and to bring parity with appraisers
4. We therefore request that the proposed additional posts may be ordered to be filled up by promotion to bring parity among the 3 feeder cadres by adopting the date of joining the cadre, as a one time measure, in relaxation of the recruitment rules.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully
KOUSIK ROY
