CADRE RESTRUCTING OF CBEC & ITS PRESENT POSITION.

 

T he Central Board of Excise and Customs submitted initially a proposal for creation of around 3900 nos. of Gr-A posts. The DOPT with discussions with the then FM reduced the proposals to around 2500 nos of Gr-A posts.  Most of the staff Associations ( except AIACEGEO) were not interested on such increase of Gr-A posts for the simple ground that CR is for IRS officers only. However The All India Association of Central Excise Gazetted Executive Officers (AIACEGEO) started  agitations and put pressure for creation of more nos. of Gr-A posts in course of the ensuing CR. Due to such pressure and agitation, FM agreed to create around 3400 nos. of Group -A posts . Finally the Committee of Secretaries headed by Cabinet Secretary have cleared for creation of  3360 nos. of Gr-A posts in CBEC on 27.08.13. The proposal now will be placed before next meeting of Cabinet for approval. Thanks to leaders of AIACEGEO who took initiative for increase of such Gr-A posts. The break up of such 3360 nos. posts are furnished below:
Apex-14, HAG+ 38. HAG- 100, SAG- 340, STS/JTS- 2868 ( 500 regular, 250 LR, 2118 temporary)
But in several websites, a wrong figure of 2610 nos. has been shown to create confusions amongst staffs.  Out of these 3360 nos. new Gr-A posts, only 150 nos. may be allotted for direct recruitment and the rest 3110 plus the entire existing vacant posts may be allotted to promotees.
