A meeting was convened at Kalpvriksha, North
Block, New Delhi under the chairmanship of the Member (Admin.), CBEC with
associations of CBEC on 18.08.2017. From
staff side, Jt. Secretary (Admin.), Commissioner (Co-ordination), Director
(Ad-IIB), officers from DGHRD, Ad-III & IV etc. were present. AICEIA was represented by the undersigned
along with Com. Anubhuti Chaterjee, ASG and Com. R. P. Singh, Liaison
Secretary.
Before the commencement of the meeting, we had
got some inputs that the department has not mentioned all our points in their
list of discussion. We told our
apprehension and submitted a letter giving the full details of our points and
requested them to bring it on record.
Further, due to paucity of time and keeping in
view the big numbers of Associations, the Member (Admin.) requested all the
associations to present only 3-4 main agenda points despite the fact that all
the associations had many agenda points to discuss. In the meeting, we presented almost all the
points except the points which were already covered by other associations. Since we had much grave issues in our hand,
the Member (Admin.) called us again to discuss the points at 3 PM in his
chamber. In the next meeting, Commissioner
(Co-ordination) and the Director (Ad-IIB) were also present. Meeting was held in very amiable atmosphere
and the Member (Admin.) directed the concerned authorities for immediate
redressal of the grievances of AICEIA.
The brief of points discussed during the
meeting are, as under:-
1. Decimal Presence of Dispute Resolution
Mechanism in Field Formation:-
Under this point, we discussed the wrongful
conduct of DPC in Vadodara, Adhoc status of Inspectors of Kolkata zone since
2013, MACP issue of Kolkata, Seniority issue of Kanpur/Meerut/Lucknow, JCM
issue in Meerut Zone, derogatory remarks by senior officer in respect of
Group-B officers in Meerut Zone etc.
were discussed. On the matter of
Vadodara and Adhoc issue of Kolkata, the Member (A) directed the concerned for
immediate redressal. Further, the
seniority issue of Kanpur/Meerut/Lucknow need to be raised with complete
details and relevant factual position.
2. Career Prospect of Inspector of Central Excise:-
Under this, we raised the reports
of various committee and their non-implementation, which had the capacity to
enhance the career prospects of the Inspectors. All India Seniority was also
discussed but no commitment made from the chair but told that something has to
be done to increase career prospects.
Further, in light of the certain objections and apprehensions of some
branches/circles of AICEIA, we sought clarifications from the Board in respect
of their letter F. No.
C-18012/19/2012-Ad.IIB dated 03.08.2017.
Due to lack of clarity, different zones are interpreting it different
way. As a result, many zones are not
accepting ICT applications and some zones are getting confused about the
benefits given to ICT applicants. To
avoid this situation, an early clarification was asked.
One report of the "Stagnation Committee"
(Stagnation in Promotion from Group "B" to Group "A") has recently
been published. In this context, we requested the Member (A) to take our views and relevant
facts on this matter to which we are also one of the stakeholders and he
accepted it.
3. Pay Prospect of Inspector of Central Excise:-
A number of times the horizontal pay parity with
counterpart in other departments was disturbed and restored. The recent
disturbance was made after 7th CPC where on the basis of wrong
postulates the long standing pay parity with Inspector of CBI was disturbed.
While in most of the countries employees of Revenue Department enjoy better pay
prospects in comparison to counterparts in other Departments, here we are
pushed down from parity every time.
There is urgent need for restoration of parity
which was disturbed in 7th CPC on the basis of wrong facts. The matter was discussed with Board, and they
have very little role to play so the same will be raised in with the Anomaly
Committee of the 7th CPC.
The following points were also discussed and the Member
(Admin.) asked the concerned Authorities to go through the written submission
over these points and then necessary steps will be taken on priority
basis:-
4. Review of the practices which have outlived
it’s utility and continuing in the name of Tradition:-
The matter related to Uniform,
Protocol and Control Room were raised and discussed.
5. Delayed DPC/ DSC
for promotion and MACP
6. Extension of the
benefit of 1% incremental scheme to Group-B Officers
7. Proper Office
accommodation and logistics support for optimum utilization of officers
8. Posting of
Officers on loan / rotation basis to the Directorates/ Outside Agencies /
Government Departments
9. Provisioning of
seats in Private Hospitals in Non-CGHS Cities
10. Issuance of
general circular in respect of judicial decisions in Service Matters
