The Hon’ble Chief Commissioner,
Central Excise,
Zone-I, Mumbai.

Respected Sir,

Sub. : Request for filling up of posts in CSI Airport,   and filling up of vacant posts allotted to other zones – Reg.

**************

After a long persuasion, Mumbai Customs Administration, on 08-Feb-2016, informed all the Cadre Control Authority about the vacancies allotted to the Central Excise pool.

On going through the same, it is observed that the number of posts allotted to the Central Excise pool is the same as it was in 2014. There has been no increase in the posts allocated to the CEx pool after the increase in staff strength in the Cadre Restructuring in Oct-2014.

The strength of Superintendents from Central Excise pool is 56. Currently 10 officers (only 1 is from Mumbai Zone) are working in CSI Airport leaving a vacancy position of 46 officers. Even though posts are allotted to officers of zones other than Mumbai, it is seldom filled as very few officers, now a days, show willingness to come to Mumbai and work. Also, as many international airports have newly come up in different states, officers from the other states prefer to work at the nearest local formations / airports and the demand for Mumbai airport has declined, due to high costs of living and accommodation.

Hence, CESA-Mumbai requests the following :-

a)    To initiate and complete the formalities for selection and thereafter posting of these officers to CSI Airport, Mumbai. 

b)   In earlier years, Mumbai Customs Administration considered the request of the Patna CX Zone and posted more officers to CSI Airport, Mumbai, than the sanctioned posts. Similarly, as the posts allotted to other zones are lying vacant, the same may be filled from the Cadre Control of Mumbai Zone, so that more officers can be exposed to the Custom formations/work. This will result in double savings as posts will be filled locally and the accommodation shortage will not be burdened further.

In light of the above, CESA, Mumbai requests you to kindly make a reference to the Mumbai Customs Administration and enhance the number of officers to be posted to CSI Airport, Mumbai, so that in one go, the panel of officers can be prepared, which will save time of both the Administration.

 

Thanking you,

                                                                 Yours sincerely, 

A.K. SASMAL
