To,
The Hon’ble Chief Commissioner,
Central Excise,
Mumbai Zone-I.
Respected Sir,
Sub:- Undue delay in Rotation, Transfer &
Repatriation of Officers – Reg.
With reference to the above, it is observed
that the Orders are being issued but are not being fully implemented as some of
the officers under orders-of-transfer are not being relieved on
one-or-the-other pretext. To have fair rotations & transfers, a policy has
been formulated but the same is not being followed in letter and spirit, which
creates a lot of resentment amongst the officers posted to various formations
and are waiting for their repatriation orders.
To be more precise, a skilled, experienced
and knowledgeable officer never has to approach their Senior Officers for any
postings. Automatically his work speaks for itself and he is utilized by the
senior officers / Administration and becomes an asset to the Department. But
nowadays, very often it happens that when there is a change in the leadership of
an Organization, the new incumbent pulls in officers of his choice either from
his earlier posting or officers known to him earlier. They perceive that they
will not be able to perform with the current set of officers available under
their command. They “indent” the officers and an informal request is made to
make the known officers available. If this method does not work, then they
themselves make every effort to get the said set of officers posted. Cadre
Control office should not be a party to a syndicate who are keeping officers
more than the prescribed tenure and allowing the same set of officers to serve
in various grades even after promotions, decade after decade.
It is also observed that officers who are
close to the previous senior officers are discarded by the new incumbents, even
to the extent of shunting them out with false allegations, much to the
detriment of the organization and its staff.
This amply shows that the service of these
skilled officers are not utilized for the improvement in the performance of the
organizations they are posted in, but for the senior officer’s own
self-interests, whether it is DRI, DGCEI, ED, Settlement Commission,
Commissioner(Appeals), Adjudications, etc.
Sir, the rosters are made for LTU, Pune and
M&P. If the officers are not rotated in time, the very purpose of making
the roster is defeated, and in the eyes of the officer, the presence of the
Administration is not felt and all policies made are useless.
The tenure is fixed, the orders for
rotation and repatriations are to be issued on time, without any delay &
deviations.
As regards to DRI, DGCEI, ED, Settlement
Commission, Vigilance, NACEN, etc., officers who have completed their
deputations tenure (either 3 or 5 years + 2 years extension) or a loan posting
1 year, are to be repatriated immediately. No further extensions should be
granted to them by obliging the individual senior officers, which sends a very
wrong signal to the field formations.
It is earnestly requested that the
Administration of the Cadre Control (Mumbai Zone) work be strengthened by
making it an exclusive cadre controlling authority, like other zones in CBEC,
and segregating the work of the Establishment section of Mumbai-I
Commissionerate, like other Commissionerates. More staff also needs to be
posted in the Confidential & Establishment section of CCO for this purpose
so that necessary care is taken for each cadre under the Cadre Controlling
Authority.
In view of the above, it is requested that
the following actions be taken to make the CC office more effective &
prompt in respect of staff welfare measures :-
(a)
Immediately
issue the transfer & repatriation orders in respect of officers posted to
M&P / Pune / LTU-Mumbai and ensure that officers under orders-of-transfer
be relieved at the earliest.
(b)
A
good number of officers are now being transferred from Mumbai Service Tax Zone
to Pune / M&P, but no replacement officers are posted. Officers repatriated
are posted back to their parent zones i.e., Zone-I or Zone-II. It is requested
that the officers on the roster for ST of CX Zone-II should be posted to Mumbai
Service Tax zone.
(c) That
orders for transfer on compassionate grounds are to be issued on priority basis
and to ensure that the officer is relieved immediately, so that the relief
intended is received.
(d) The
requests for transfer on medical grounds for self or because of illness in the
family are to be considered on top priority.
(e) Any
representation received from officers is to be replied to appropriately, so
that transparency & fairness in Administration will prevail.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
A.K. SASMAL
General Secretary
CC :

The Hon’ble Chief Commissioner, Mumbai CX
Zone-II
The
Hon’ble Chief Commissioner, Mumbai Service Tax Zone.
