The Hon’ble Minister of Finance,

North Block, New Delhi.

Sub: DPC against the vacancies of Asstt. Commissioner.

Sir,

It is submitted with due regards that the CBEC is going to conduct the DPC for ad hoc promotions from the Addl. Commissioner to Commissioner level on the ground of revenue drive.

2. It is further submitted that the actual officers instrumental for revenue drive at group ‘A’ level in CBEC are the Asstt. Commissioners instead of Commissioners. The Commissioners work only at administrative seats and also do other jobs like appeal, adjudication etc. without being posted at divisional levels in the field formations. On the other hand, the Asstt. Commissioners work at divisional levels actually responsible for revenue collection at group ‘A’ level at field formations. As per the disposition list, 315 vacancies already exist in Central Excise and 126 in Customs at Asstt. Commissioner level as on 31.12.12. This extraordinary (441 against sanctioned strength of 949) vacant position at Asstt. Commissioner level is also the sole reason of CBEC being far behind of the revenue target fixed for the current financial year. The above said figures of vacancies should have even increased as on date on account of some more retirements after December, 12. No such alarming situation seems to exist at the level of executive Commissioner who has only the administrative control on the divisions. Thus, the vacancies of Asstt. Commissioner instead of Commissioners are required to be filled up immediately from the angle of revenue drive.

3. In view of the above, it is requested that the DPC for promotion from Superintendent to Asstt. Commissioner may kindly be conducted prior to the DPC for promotion to the post of Commissioner in CBEC. It is not only required from the angle of revenue collection but also from the angle of acute stagnation of the Superintendents being retired every month without promotion.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

 (RAVI MALIK),

Secretary General.

2) The Chairperson, CBEC, North Block, New Delhi.
