WISH FROM A WELL WISHER...
इक 2014 की दीपावली थी ।
विभाग में, हरेक को हरे भविष्य नजर आने लगा था
शासन, करतब बाजी में मशगूल है ।

BE DEAR, CARE OR FEAR...
The government has set up a 10 member
committee, headed by former Delhi High Court judge R V Easwar, as he is one of
the best tax tribunal judges, to simplify and identify, among other things,
phrases in the Income-tax laws that lead to unnecessary litigation because of
different interpretations.
......
There appears to be a growing gap
between the adjudication decisions taken by different authorities for a similar
issues at different places. Interpretations vary from bench to bench and from
place to place and piling up & disposal of cases do not have any uniformity
as well as accountability.
Similar is the situation in CBEC – when
Govt. intends to simplify the rules and regulations in CBDT, it is not far away
when the same will be applied in CBEC !!

CONGRATULATIONS TO NEW BODY - IRS INDIRECT TAX PROMOTEE OFFICERS
“ To be sad is a choice and to be unhappy is a circumstance.
The warrior who conquers the situations and
Those who become lazy & idle they compare,
Hope the new body will act as there are enemies, not from
outside
Reversion & progression depends on your actions,
not by
luck or destiny.

The warrior who conquers the situations and
make the circumstance favourable
never remain unhappy.
Those who become lazy & idle they compare,
but those who are active and have the ability to compete
always become successful, whatever be the obstacle in his
way”
Hope the new body will act as there are enemies, not from
outside
but within the cadres and the survival is at stake.
Reversion & progression depends on your actions,

CONGRATULATIONS !!!
CONGRATULATIONS !!!
GRACE FOILS EVIL DESIGNS...
TRUTH PREVAILS.
Fate whispers to the warrior
"You cannot withstand the storm.."
The warrior whispers back
"I am the storm..."
CESA, Mumbai heartily congratulates Shri. Najib Shah on his
appointment as Chairman of the CBEC, New Delhi, on regular basis.
Probably, he is the last monarch of CBEC, New Delhi, from the IRS
cadre, as the GST regime is likely to be introduced in the Budget of 2016, and
most likely thereafter, officers of the IAS cadre may be heading the Board !!
Vide Office Order No. 279/2015 dated 28-Oct-2015, Shri Najib Shah
has finally been appointed as Chairman of the CBEC, New Delhi, w.e.f.
01-Jul-2015. This goes on to show that righteousness and merit cannot be
suppressed for long… For a revenue officer who has put in 36 years of
impeccable service, this order is well deserved.
It is to the credit of Shri Najib Shah sir that he maintained integrity
& professionalism, by not compromising on his personal dignity and did not
let down the stature of the Board.
CESA, Mumbai, once again wishes the very best to Shri Najib Shah, as
Chairman, CBEC, and assures him of our full support in all matters, especially
with respect to the staff welfare measures like amendment of RRs, putting 2118
posts for 5 years from feeder cadre, MACP anomaly, holding of DPC & filling
up of 1442 vacant posts of Grp-A and improving infrastructure & ACES.

CESA DARED... GOOD NEWS TOMORROW.
Action taken .... good news tomorrow
Old Post dated 27-Sept-2015
The Board preaches something but does not practice the same.
The advertisement, was published in many
leading newspapers, and warns regarding non-payment of Service Tax which may
result in the damage of one’s hard built reputation.
The Board is more worried about the reputation of its assessees
than it is about its own reputation..., especially when it comes to taking
decisions about promoting/appointing Members to the Board (it had dwindled to 2
Members over a 9 month period ending Mar-2015) and even then did not have the
spine to appoint the senior most officer, Shri Najib Shah, (also the most
deserving officer) as Chairman but could only manage to issue his order as
Acting Chairman !!
What is the fault of Shri Najib Shah in all these manouverings
? That he is upright, dynamic & dashing ? There is no dispute about this. Yes,
he is NOT a sycophant, dishonest officer and does not bend before his masters
on matters of principle. Then why has he been sidelined in the Department and
on whose arm-twisting has such a decision been taken of appointing him as an
Acting Chairman of CBEC, for which there is no precedent ?
The message that percolates down to the executive cadre is
that there is no place in the system for an upright & principled officer,
which is very de-moralising and places a great amount of stress on the lower
officers of the Department.
Especially, in view of the fact that GST is to be rolled out
by Apr-2016, where a capable person of the calibre of Shri Najib Shah can play
a very decisive role. Sidelining him will definitely be a big operational loss
to the organisation.
The Board may increase the revenue, but not the morale and
the efficiency of the hardworking officers in the Department.
The only question that needs to be asked is whether there is
anybody better than and/or more capable than Shri Najib Shah to head CBEC, not
as Acting Chairman, but as Chairman, with full authority and freedom.
If the answer to the above question is yes, please appoint
that person, who is better than Shri Najib Shah, as Chairman, else, if the
answer to the question is no, then for God’s sake, appoint him Chairman, with
full authority and freedom.
Don’t continue with this farce of Acting Chairman !!!
