ALL INDIA ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL EXCISE
GAZETTED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

To,
Ms. Shobha L. Chary,
Member (P&V), CBEC,
North Block, New Delhi.
Sub: Agitational programme.
Madam,
Kindly refer to the letter F. No. OSD/MPV/Supt. Asso. Dt. 26.02.13 of your goodself.
2. It is submitted with due regards that the above referred letter is completely silent on every issue
except cadre restructuring. No need to mention that the cadre restructuring in its present form wouldn’t be
able to remove our stagnation as also admitted in one of the Board meetings itself. Only 1% of our officers
are able to enter PB3 under the present scenario while only 2% of them will reach PB3 as per the existing
recruitment rules after joining the job as Inspector, even if the ongoing cadre restructuring is approved &
implemented in its present form. Not only the cadre restructuring is required to be approved without cut as
already cleared by the Expenditure but also no direct recruitment should be made in IRS at least for 5 years
alongwith adopting some other effective measures to remove our extraordinary stagnation. As far as our
counterparts of CSS, Income Tax etc. are concerned, all of them are entering PB4 getting extraordinary jump
in salaries (and as a result in pensionery benefits also) at the time of crossing PB3. Even so called MACPS is
also unable to do anything for us. The position will not be improved until some effective measures are not
taken for us independent of cadre restructuring too. Our counterparts of CSS, CPWD etc. are getting
promotion to senior group ‘A’ post whereas we are forced to work under our extreme juniors. 1992 Examiner
& Income Tax Inspector have already entered group ‘A’ and 1992 Assistant of CSS entered senior group ‘A’
while our Inspector of 1974 is still waiting for group ‘A’ entry. 1987 Assistant of CSS has become Deputy
Secretary (our Joint Commissioner) and 1985 Assistant of Rajya Sabha Secretariat has become Director (our
Addl. Commissioner).
3. Your kind attention is also invited to the Board letter F.No.A26017/147/06-Ad.II.A Dt. 04.01.07
recommending a separate service or time scale after every 7 years for our officers to the CPC. But at the time
of getting opportunity to do something itself, nothing has been/being done for us under cadre restructuring
(or even independent of cadre restructuring) by our Board except being worried about the stature of direct
IRS. We are promised so many things during the meetings but no promise is fulfilled. We are getting lower
pay packages as compared to our analogous counterparts and facing the worst career prospects & working
conditions. All the grievances of ours are untouched in above referred letter of your goodself.
4. In view of above, some serious approach to device concrete measures is very much requested from
our Board to improve our career prospects and working conditions. Every limit has been crossed regarding
our career prospects as our relatives, neighbours and our children’s friends & their families think that we
have committed some serious fraud/crime or blundering mistake in our department resulted into disciplinary/
penal action against us not to give us promotions.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
