Hon’ble Minister of Finance,
Government of India,

Respected sirs,
Sub:- Long pending demands of Staff in CBIC –
Reg.
At the outset, we thank you and the GST Council, for having
favourably considered our demand put forth in our letter dated 23.09.2016 (copy
enclosed for ease of reference) that the Government should take over the
GSTN. This decision has substantially
protected the interests of the nation in a major way.
2. We would also invite your kind attention to the resolution
which was also communicated vide the above said letter dated 23.09.2016, passed
in the meeting of ‘All Staff Associations in Central Board of Excise and
Customs’ on 17.09.2016, indicating the indifferent attitude of the CBEC
(presently CBIC) in dealing with the issues pertaining to the Staff of the
Department. Subsequently, the Direct Recruit IRS Officers’ Association had also
joined us in a meeting held at Mumbai on 01.10.2016 and again at New Delhi on
03.02.2017.
3. Consequent to the demands raised in the above meetings, the
Hon’ble Finance Minister was gracious enough to have a meeting with our
representatives on 10.02.2017. Though
the Hon’ble Finance Minister had observed during the said meeting that the
acute stagnation of staff at various levels in the department was deplorable,
no tangible action had been initiated by the Board to tackle the same till
date.
4. At the same time, the CBEC (now CBIC) has exhibited alacrity
and urgency in addressing the grievances of Direct Recruit IRS Officers alone,
disregarding the fact that while they have been getting quick promotions with
substantial monetary hikes in their careers, the other staff in the department
did not get even 2 to 3 promotions in their career and even the paltry number
of promotions got by them did not fetch any financial benefits. On the CGST side as well as on the Customs
side of the CBIC, Drivers have been left to rot; Non-ministerial staff have not
been provided with any scope for progression; Promotional avenues of the
ministerial staff have been blocked; Inspector based cadres from Group B to
Group A promotees have been left stunted and stumped with only one promotion or
at best 2 in their entire career. Even the recommendations of the Stagnation
Committee vide CBEC F. No. C-50/58/2017-Ad II dated 01.08.2017 constituted as
per the remarks of the Hon’ble Finance Minister and directions given by the
Respected Revenue Secretary have not been taken to its logical conclusion.
5. The Board which required and sought the support and assistance
of all the staff of the CBEC for the successful roll out of the GST, now
conveniently, do not even acknowledge the existence of other cadres in the
department, let alone their grievances. The contribution of the nearly 60,000
strong workforces from Group C to Group A Promotees of the CBIC have got a raw
deal. The weekly letters issued by the
Chairman, CBEC (now CBIC) would vouch for this DR-IRS Centric attitude of the
Board.
6. Against the above back drop, the Staff Associations of CBEC
(now CBIC) decided to collectively put forth the issues pertaining to all
cadres from Group C to promotee Group A in the CBEC and gave a call to organize
lunch hour meetings all over India to list out the long pending demands.
Accordingly, on 01.02.2018, all members of the Constituent Organisations in
this Co-Ordination Committee, in separate meetings held at the Headquarters
Offices and important stations all over India, passed resolutions on the long
pending demands of the cadres. The same
was communicated to the Chairman, CBEC, vide our letter in Ref. No CBEC/01/2018
dated 26.02.2018. A copy of the same with the charter of demands is enclosed
for kind reference and records.
7. Subsequently as notified to the CBEC vide letter dated
26.02.2018 cited above, members of all the constituent organizations in this
COC observed ‘DEMANDS DAY’ on 28.02.2018 by wearing black badges and conducting
lunch hour meetings/demonstrations in front of all Headquarters Offices in the
CBEC. However, till date, even after
more than two months from the date of observance of the above ‘DEMANDS DAY’,
the CBEC (the present CBIC) has neither invited the COC for a discussion on
these long pending demands nor initiated/communicated any action towards
mitigating them.
8. In these circumstances, the COC met at Kolkata on 05.05.2018
and resolved to bring the above apathy of the CBIC to your personal attention
and seek your kind intervention. It was
also resolved in the meeting of the COC on 05.05.2018 that if no action is initiated
by the CBIC to discuss with the COC and settle the demands in the charter, a
daylong DHARNA will have to be conducted in front of all Head Quarters Offices
of the CBIC on 20.06.2018, to call attention to the long pending demands.
9. We therefore request your good self to kindly intervene in the
matter urgently and issue necessary directions to the CBIC so that they shed
their partisan approach on staff matters and treat all staff issues with equal
empathy and settle them at the earliest.
10. We will also be highly obliged if an appointment could be
accorded by the Respected Revenue Secretary to us at an early and convenient
date, to enable us to elaborate on the issues in the Charter of Demands.
Thanking
you,
Yours
truly,
Encl: (1) Our letter dated 23.09.2016
(2) Our letter dated 26.02.2018 with Charter of
Demands

First thing should be to hire a good advocate to get the DPC stalled, because the current one has failed miserably.
