CENTRAL BOARD OF EXCISE AND CUSTOMS.

Minutes of the Meeting held on 31st July 2014 at the office of the DGHRD, Saket on the issue of Stagnation in Group B Executive Cadres

1.         Background for the Meeting :-  The CBEC commissioned a Study to examine and suggest solutions to the problem of acute stagnation in Group ‘B’ Gazetted and Non-gazetted Executive grades.  Shri Parkash Chand, Retired Deputy Secretary, was appointed as a Consultant for conducting the study, in association with Shri B B Agrawal, Additional Director General, NACEN. The Terms of Reference of the Study, as outlined vide the DGHRD O.M. F. No. 8/B/194/HRD(HRM)/2013 dated 4^th July 2014, are as under :-

                    I.                        To examine and identify the reasons for the acute stagnation in Group ‘B’ Gazetted and Non-gazetted Executive grades ;

                  II.                        To examine and identify the reasons for intra-cadre disparity in promotions in the three streams of Non-gazetted executive grades, viz. Inspector Central Excise, Preventive Officer and Examiner ;

                III.                        To examine and identify the reasons for inter-cadre disparity in promotions in the three streams of Non-gazetted executive grades, viz. Inspector Central Excise, Preventive Officer and Examiner.    

                IV.                        To suggest an organizational Cadre Structure, i.e. sanctioned strengths at various levels in Group ‘A’ (particularly JTS / STS), Group ‘B’ Gazetted Executive, and Group ‘B’ Non-gazetted Executive levels, which would :-

a)      fulfil the reasonable aspirations for career progression of the Group ‘B’ Executive Officers by providing a reasonable and permanent solution to the overall problem of stagnation,

b)                  minimize the intra-cadre and inter-cadre disparities in promotions, and

c)      meet the numerical need of officers at various levels in keeping with the functional  requirements of the Department.

                  V.                        To suggest various ways in which, pending the permanent solution of the stagnation problem, interim relief can be given to the existing officers by way of schemes such as financial upgradation, etc.

                VI.                        To assess the legal / practical / administrative difficulties, if any, that may arise in implementation of their suggestions, and to suggest solutions for the same.

              VII.                        Any other issue that the Study Group may find necessary to include in its exercise.

2.         The above O.M. was placed on CBEC website www.cbec.gov.in under the link “Departmental Officers”→“Circulars”. A news item was also carried in this regard on the website of taxindiaonline in the DDT section.

5.         Shri B.B Agrawal ADG welcomed all the participants. He invited attention to the above O.M. and invited their views on the various issues.

6.         Written views were submitted by the following Associations :-

(1)   All India Central Excise Inspectors’ Association

(2)   All India Association of Central Excise Gazetted Executive Officers

(3)   All India Customs Ministerial Employees’ Federation

(4)   All India Central Excise And Service Tax Ministerial Officers’ Association

7.         Shri L.N. Mishra, President, All India Central Excise Gazetted Executive Officers’ Association presented their views on stagnation in the grades of Central Excise Inspectors and Superintendent at length. Reference to various Committees constituted on the issue in the past was also made. He expressed dismay over the non-implementation of their recommendations and wondered about the utility of the present study. The DGHRD intervened and assured that the house is meeting in good faith and the attempt is to find an amicable solution to the problems.  Shri Mishra referred to the frustration on account of non-implementation of earlier committees’ reports and said they have lost faith in the system. MACP available now is no solution of the problem. He suggested flexible promotional schemes as available to the Scientist etc. or batch wise promotion/upgradation to be considered. He further suggested that Cadre Reviews should also take place every 5 years.  As three streams of Inspectors Central Excise, Preventive Officers and Examiner get merged at group ‘A’ level, there is no need to keep the 3 different streams in the feeder grades of Inspectors/ Superintendent. The trifurcation has led to severe distortion as in some cases junior Inspector is heading the senior Inspectors selected through the same examination.

8.         Shri Metta Rama Rao, President, IRS(C&CE) Association stated that once a promotee is inducted into IRS, he is welcome by them. He further stated that Cadre Reviews should be held every 5 years. IRS Being a organized group ‘A’ service, no dilution of 50-50 DR / Promotees is possible. He further suggested that JTS Officers can be posted on national borders, more preventive formations on land customs and sea borders etc., which will facilitate creation of more group ‘A’ posts and may meet the hardship of feeder cadres to some extent. Needless to say it will require more vehicles and may also result in posting problems.

9.         Shri I.B. Mishra, Secretary General All India Customs Preventive service Federation, Chennai  stated that RRs of Appraisers have not been amended till today though DR posts are not being filled since 2002. He suggested more posts of JTS on functional need-basis and suggested a ratio of 1 DR to 3 Promotees for Group ‘A’. He also suggested creation of a separate Service of Inspectors/ Superintendent /ACs/DCs and so on which can be a parallel service to IRS and also cited the case of CSS and demanded parity in pay including NFSG and in- situ promotion at the level of Joint secretary as in CSS. He further stated that comparison can also be made to Income Tax Service.

10.       Shri. Saugata Chakrabothy Secy. General All India Customs Ministerial Employees Federation suggested promotions of Ministerial Staff to Inspectors should be in the ratio of 1 DR to 2 Promotees like in CBDT. He also raised the issue of 5% quota for the ministerial staff to Appraiser which was available earlier. He was asked to give his suggestion in writing which he agreed to give.

11.       Shri. Anupam Neeraj, President All India Central Excise Inspectors Association  pointed out intra-cadre disparity and inter-Cadre disparity. Supreme Court Judgment of Radhe Shaym Singh Vs Union of India was quoted. Further he desired that DOPT orders dated 03.07.86 para 2(1) be referred to for purposes of seniority of 1996 batch inspectors who ultimately after re-examination joined in 2003 be considered for promotion on All India Seniority basis so that disparity is removed to some extent. Mr. Abhishek Kamal , Secretary General, All India Central Excise Inspector Association and Devender Kumar, Liason Secretary All India Central Excise Inspector Association, also spoke on the same lines and favoured the merger of the 3 streams i.e. Inspector Central Excise, Preventive & Examiner. (At this juncture, Shri I.B Mishra representing All India Custom Preventive service Federation opposed the merger of 3 streams).

12.       Shri  Ravi Malik, Secretary Genertal, All India Central Excise Gazetted Executive Officers’  Association desired that RRs of Inspectors and above be amended as per guidelines of DOPT which provide 2 years’ service as qualifying service for promotion from Inspector to Superintendent. He also reiterated the points raised by Shri L.N.  Mishra.

13.       Shri R.S. Gautam, Liason Secretary, All India Central Excise and Service tax Ministerial Association desired that ratio of promotee to DR should be 66% and their interests be protected while addressing the hardship of Inspectors and Superintendents.

14.       Shri L.N. Mishra stated that Fundamental Rules talk about the Cadre and there should be parity in all Cadres. 3 separate All India seniority lists of 3 streams i.e. Inspector Central Excise, Preventive Officer and Examiner be drawn and parity maintained. He also referred to decision by Hon’ble Apex Court to which Shri Sanjay Srivastav of HRM responded that as per orders of the Supreme Court, present ratio of 6:1:2 is being maintained. There was request for some interim relief as officers in the grade of Inspector/ Superintendent are retiring every month and as such they will be deprived of the benefits of this study team recommendations as and when implemented. Further flexible promotion / batchwise promotion and in-situ promotion was also demanded by almost all the representatives of various associations.

15.       The Associations’ representatives also desired that minutes of the meeting be also issued to them, and another meeting be held before finalizing the Study report, which was agreed to by DGHRD and the Study Group.

16.       Shri B.B Agrawal ADG thanked all the participants for their views, and requested them to also send soft copies of their representations.  He also mentioned that they could send further views if any (including the oral submissions made today if these are not already included in their written submissions), in hard as well as soft copy.

17.       Shri Agrawal then invited the participants’ attention to the fact that one of the objectives of their Study is to arrive at a model structure for the relevant cadres, which if adopted in future, for future officers, would meet all the reasonable expectations in terms of career progression.  He said that the relevant numbers are as under :-

Level (in terms of promotional avenues)		Number of sanctioned posts  (before CR)	Number of sanctioned posts (after CR)	Remarks
Assistant Commissioner (JTS)		949	1249	Excluding the 2118 temporary posts
Superintendents		13948	19108	Including the equivalent posts of Supdt (Cus Prev) and Appraisers
Inspectors		20163	25203	Including the equivalent posts of Prev Officer (Cus) and Examiners
Total		35060	45560

Thus, there are about 25,000 Inspectors. In the model structure, an officer joining as Inspector would expect to get the next functional promotion, say, for example, in 10 years (residency period). By the time he becomes ripe for promotion, 10 more lots would have joined. Thus, it can easily be seen that for the stream to keep moving, the number of officers required to be moved up every year would be equal to the total corpus (i.e. 25,000) divided by the residency period (i.e. 10), which means that 2500 Inspectors would need to be promoted to Superintendent every year. Then, for 2500 newly promoted Superintendents to join the corpus of Superintendents every year, it would in turn mean that 2500 Supdts at the top would need to move out by way of promotion into the JTS. This would mean that the Supdts would need 19108 / 2500 = 8 years (approx) for promotion into JTS. This makes it 10+8=18 years. An Inspector joins at the age of say 26 years, so he would have 34 years of service. After the above 18 years for reaching the JTS, he would still have 16 years of service left. To continue with the calculations, for 2500 Supdts to move into JTS every year, 2500 direct recruit ACs would also need to join JTS every year (1:1 as per RR, unless changed). Hence, the JTS corpus would need to be 2x2500x4 = 20,000 (because in 4 years a JTS becomes STS, so every year, one-fourth of the JTS would move up).

18.       To recapitulate, the above argument yields the following numbers :-

Level (in terms of promotional avenues)	Number of sanctioned posts (after CR)	Number of years for next promotion	Number of posts required for the above “model” structure (working upwards)
Assistant Commissioner (JTS)	1249	4	20000
Superintendents	19108	8	10000
Inspectors	25203	10	25000
Total	45560		55000

Shri Agrawal explained that thus the total corpus of JTS+Supdt+Inspr would need to be 55000, for an Inspector to become Supdt in 10 years and for a Supdt to become AC in 8 years. Even if we modify the above figures for the fact that one-third of the Inspectors would be those promoted from the ministerial cadres and would thus have less service left, even then the numbers would pose a challenge. (The different assumptions made in the above calculations can all be changed, and the resultant figures can be worked out to arrive at various permutations and combinations, as long as we are able to find a model which is reasonable in overall terms).

19.       After having explained the above mathematical logic of the overall numbers, he requested the Associations to come up with a model structure of overall numbers from Inspector upwards (i.e. Inspector, Supdt, AC, DC, JC and so on), making various reasonable assumptions in terms of residency periods etc., which in their view would meet all the reasonable aspirations that a direct recruit Inspector could have in terms of career progression. He said that if it is possible to work out such an overall structure, then the internal details could always be worked out, and also the changes required in the RRs and other guidelines, if any, could also be taken up for a discussion with the appropriate authorities. However, while working out the revised numbers in various grades from Inspector (or equivalent) upwards, it was important to keep in mind the functional requirements at various levels, in view of the tasks that our department is required to perform. In other words, while there may be a reasonable flexibility to suggest changes in the strength at various levels so as to have a structure that removes stagnation, but revolutionary changes may not be possible.

20.       The representatives of the various Associations agreed to work on the above problem and come up with their suggestions about the possible alternatives for the overall numbers from Inspector upwards, keeping in mind the functional imperatives of the Department.

21.       The meeting ended with a vote of thanks to the Chair.

GOVT NOT GIVING IMPORTANCE TO CENTRAL EMPLOYEES DEMANDS OF INCOME TAX,MERGER OF DA,INTERIM RELIEF,LTC etc.-AIACEGEO.

Top leaders of the present Central Government had showered promises to the working class, especially the Central Government Employees during General Election. The promises including exemption of Income Tax limit up to 5 lakhs and many other assurances appeared to have more than 80% Government Employees in favour of them. But today we see the blatant negations of the promises made by them.
                                                                                     
Income Tax

As against the promise of exemption of Income tax limit up to 5 lakhs, a mere increase of Rs. 30000 i.e. from Rs. 220000 to 250000 made whereas everybody know the minimum annual increase of salary due to increments and  DA during the period 1/4/2013 to 31/3/2014 is more than 50000. Thus, in spite of Rs. 30000 exemption, the lower income group whose gross salary is less than Rs. 5 lakhs has been charged more taxes than the previous year.

Granting of IR/Merger of DA

Yet another betrayal from the stand taken in favour of central Government Employees by the then major opposition party is the refusal of giving IR/merger of DA. It is said that merger of DA is not considered because 6th Pay Commission in its report has not recommended for such merger. It is worth mentioning here that constitution of 7th Pay Commission was also not recommended by the 6th Pay Commission.

Cancellation of LTC by air for low class employees:

Moreover, prior to the Government taking over the charge lower level central Government employees had allowed LTC for North East/Jammu & Kashmir by Air. Granting of LTC by air to the 28 lakhs Group C employees for North East and Jammu & Kashmir were chiefly aimed for the economic growth of these statesand more integration with the rest of India.  But the Government has withdrawn the facility. On the other hand officers with Rs. 5400 and more Grade pay are still allowed to fly anywhere in India either on tour or LTC.

Installation of Biometric punching machine

Now the Government of India has announced installation of biometric punching machine in all its offices in a phased manner and the same are being linked with Aadhar. In this series most of the Government Offices functioning in Delhi has already been installed and the remaining offices have been asked to install the machine immediately. But, merely installing biometric punching machine and asking the employees to report duty in time will not solve the issue. A section of employees especially employees belong to lower income group working in Delhi offices are living outside Delhi. It has come to know that persons residing more than 150 Kms away from Delhi are attending duties in Delhi offices by travelling local trains & other conveyance.  What prevent them to stay in Delhi? First reason is non allocation of Government quarters in the nearby places of their posting. Secondly, the living cost of Delhi is not bearable to a low class employee because the successive pay commissions and Governments neglected them. According to the 6th Pay Commission pay structure MTS, LDC or the posts with equivalent grade would not get net monthly salary more than Rs. 14000-16000. How they manage a family with this meager amount? So they used to live in the joint family in the home villages in the nearby areas of Delhi. Since being the value of humanity is above than everything, Government should study and solve the problems faced by this section also.

By concluding this, WE,would like to produce a comment written by an anonymous person on Ministry of Finance directive to keep economy in use of paper in Central Government Offices. “Finance Ministry, Dept of expenditure, DoPT is the major breeding grounds of unnecessary expenditures. They are the root cause of many court cases. They did not accept to implement the judgment to similarly placed employees, like the case of MACP in promotional hierarchy. This lead many cases filed in various courts all over India. This result into huge expenditure to govt. in respect of legal adviser fee, court fee etc. But they go on speaking about economy in use of paper. They never apply their mind to curtail court case expenditure”.
