Meeting in the morning and letter by evening – 18.08.2017

Members have been contacting from various corners seeking information regarding what happened in the meeting on 18.08.2017. In brief I can only say that the meeting took place and that the Member (Admn) heard our points, though within a stiff time frame.  Since the seating within the hall was limited and 16 Associations had been invited, he had to break the meeting into two with Associations representing the Group C Non ministerial and Group C Ministerial being called in first.  In the second session we participated. 
We got an opportunity to explain our points in brief and Member (Admn) said that he would examine and do the needful. However, Member accepted our plea that the Board should issue instructions like the CBDT, regarding implementation of the N.R.Parmar judgement so that delay of DPC on that count could be avoided.
Further details could be deduced only once the minutes are issued.
When one of the Office bearers asked the Member (Admn) whether the meeting would be conducted periodically, he stated that it would be conducted as time would permit.  However, he assured that the Commissioners and Chief Commissioners would be asked to conduct meetings with Associations regularly.
On the sidelines of the above meeting, we could form a Co-Ordination Committee of Associations in the CBIC, in which almost all Associations in CBIC have joined.
On 18.08.2017 itself a letter appears to have been issued by the Chairman wherein instead of speaking about promotions for Group B and C in the CBIC as widely expected, there was insistence on imposing 56 J on these cadres.

Did we ask for bread and get bricks instead?

WELCOMING THE NEW CHAIRMAN

Dear Comrades and Friends,   WE WHOLE HEARTEDLY CONGRATULATE SHRI. S. RAMESH, THE PRESENT MEMBER (ADMN) UPON HIS ELEVATION AS THE CHAIRMAN OF CBIC.  HAVING BEEN DEALING WITH STAFF MATTERS FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW, WE HOPE THAT DURING HIS TENURE AS CHAIRMAN, THE STAFF ISSUES PERTAINING TO CBIC WILL BE GIVEN TOP PRIORITY.   WE ALSO TAKE NOTE OF THE SITUATION WHERE PERFORMANCE BY CBIC IS BEING COMPARRED WITH THAT OF THE STATE GST.  IT IS PERTINENT TO REMEMBER HERE THAT SERIOUS STOCK TAKING OF THE MORALE OF THE STAFF OF THE DEPARTMENT IS THE URGENT NEED OF THE HOUR.  NEGLECT, DISPARITY AND DISCRIMINATIVE TREATMENT HAVE EATEN INTO THE ROOTS, THUS CREATING A HUGE TRUST DEFICIT.  WITH SUCH AN ESTRANGED CLIMATE WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT PERFORMANCE CANNOT REALLY IMPROVE.   WE HOWEVER FEEL THAT WITH THE NEW CHAIRMAN TAKING OVER THERE COULD BE CHANGES IN THE ATTITUDE OF THE BOARD TOWARDS THE STAFF ISSUES.   Various constituents of the COC during its meeting at K...
