MEMORANDUM
TO THE HON’BLE FINANCE MINISTER
Respected sir, tonight, when half
the world sleeps, India would be waking up to a new era of GST. When all buildings of the Tax department
are illuminated for the grand event, the real shoulders on which the entire
edifice rests, would be weeping in the dark gullies, just like the Father of
the Nation on that eventful night 70 years ago.
The anguish of this
community recruited as Inspectors of Central Excise, is narrated in the
Memorandum -1 dated 28.06.2017 submitted by the ‘JAC of Inspector based
Associations of CBEC’, copy of which is enclosed. The first table in the memorandum will
demonstrate the discrimination this community has faced.
As if that
discrimination in comparison to the other cadres and equivalent cadres within
the department and within the Revenue is not enough and complete, a fresh one
has come into being in terms of their further degradation in comparison to
their counterparts in the State VAT departments. In most of the States the counterparts to
the Superintendent of Central Excise have attained the level of Deputy/ Joint
Commissioners. In the era of cross
empowerment, this comparison would rub salt into their already burning
wounds. In the unsuspecting public sphere of the taxpayers it will also
malign the position of the Union Government, vis-à-vis the State Governments.
A recent letter of Sh. Netticadan
Antonio, Superintendent of Central Excise addressed to his Chief
Commissioner, Thiruvanandhapuram, intimating withdrawal from an expert panel
on GST, at a high profile function to be presided over by none other than the
Finance Minister of the State, is indicative of the two sides of a coin. One,
the dark deep frustration engraved in the heart of this community; and two,
despite such frustration, their sense of service and commitment towards
excellence. (Copy
of the letter
and the invitation card for the event are enclosed for reference).
We urge you to step in
not only to stem the rot but also to resolve this absolute despondency and
growing resentment at the cutting edge level Officers of the department, and put in place a proper and time bound
promotion mechanism as set out in the JAC memorandum.
Yours truly,
Encl : As above
(R.
Manimohan)
Secretary
General
Copy submitted to:
(1) The Revenue
Secretary
