The Commissioner,

Central Excise Thane-I,

Navprabhat Chambers,

Dadar (West),Mumbai.

Respected Sir,

Sub: JCM to be held on 06.01.2017 – Submission of points  – Reg.

At the outset CESA, Mumbai wishes Your goodself and the entire Administration under your  command a ‘Happy and Prosperous New Year, 2017’.

With reference to above subject, the points sponsored for the JCM are as under;

1.            Disposal of Vigilance Cases : N-number of Senior officers came and gone, the enthusiasm initiated while opening the vigilance files against the officers irrespective of the role played by the officers  are not visible for a logical conclusion of the cases. Discrimination in opening and closing of files of the officers of junior and senior cadres are apart.  Several officers who are retired have undergone mental trauma and financial losses on account of delay in handling and disposal of the cases. Since January, 2008 there are around  23 officers cases are pending.

          In this regard, the pending cases may please expedited in terms of the instructions contained in CBEC’s  circular dated 23.06.2016.  Further, as like withdrawal of the cases from various appellate forums on monetary grounds a similar stand may be taken against the cases where no revenue loss involved and dereliction of duty /connivance of officers is not involved so that the services of the officers can be utilized to the optimum.

2.            Stafffing position: The sanctioned strength and working strength in the Commissionerate is not        balanced one.  Heavy workload in all the five divisions and no range may be given on additional charge and similarly minimum of two superintendents at least be posted to all Divisional Headquarters for smooth functioning and avoiding any lapses.   More staff in all cadres may be asked for as the Commissionerate is sensitive one. At present the staff position SS 55 Superintendents WS 47 + 3 (1 each in Appeals, CESTAT/DLC) and in the cadre of Inspectors the SS is 60 whereas the WS is 57 (+1 DGHRD).

           Premature transfers and rotations may be avoided as the schedule of budget has been announced which has been pre-poned to 1^st February, 2017. Posting and rotations at this juncture will not yield any result except inconvenience in the field formations.  Further, Officers on medical grounds be considered to place nearer to their residences as far as possible.

3.            Pending medical claims: All the bills of officers pending on account of medical claims be expedited.

4.            Misc. Points :

(A)      Care may be taken in providing of sufficient number of computers and printers in each formations.  In most of the formations ACES is not in proper operation/ functional. Weeding out of old records in Chandrama building as well as in Navprabhat Chambers, Rabi plaza be instructed suitably to complete in a time bound manner.  As most of the Divisional/Range formations in Kalyan facing frequent disruption of power supply it is suggested to provide inverters in all the formations so that work should not be hampered.

(B)             Any changes in the formations from the present set-up to GST, Staff associations may be consulted before submitting any  proposals for  change of existing locations/buildings as most of the staff hails from suburbs i.e., beyond Thane upto Karjat/Kasara.

To resolve all the above issues CESA, Mumbai will extend all its co-operation to the fullest extent.

Thanking You,

Yours sincerely,

A.K. SASMAL

General Secretary.
