Ref. No:  45/CBIC/2018                                           Date: 10.10.2018

To Shri. S. Ramesh, Chairman, CBIC, North Block,  New Delhi.

Shri. Raj Kumar Barthwal,  Member (Admin),  CBIC, North Block, New Delhi.

Respected Sirs,

Sub: Call for agitations by Ministerial Officers Associations in CBIC – declaration of moral support – reg

*****

We are given to understand that a notice has been served by three All India Associations representing the Ministerial Officers in CBIC, for a two phased agitation, with lunch hour demonstrations on 11.10.18 and black flag bearing on 30.10.18, pressing for their immediate demands.

The Board would be aware that on a Charter of Demands including these issues, the COC of Associations in the CBIC had also observed protests earlier this year.  However the Day Long Dharna which was slated for 20.06.2018 had been deferred in fond hope that the then Member (Admn) who had been designated as the Chairman would look into the issues on assuming charge as the Chairman.  However, it is more than 3 months since then and even our request for an appointment is yet to be granted.

Our members are also becoming restive on the following issues:

(i) Delay in implementation of the benefit of Court order in M. Subramaniam case for grant of GP 5400 in rem.

(ii) Adverse decision by the CBIC on pay anomaly matters affecting the cadre even as they are pending with the Anomaly Committee and judicial forums.

(iii) Non-implementation of judgement in N R Parmar and deviation from the stand taken in SLP filed by the department in the Hon’ble Supreme Court itself.

(iv) Non-regularisation of Assistant Commissioners promoted on temporary basis and non-filling up of consequential vacancies.

(v) Diversion of temporary posts of Assistant Commissioners which are outside RRs and which are meant for assuaging stagnation, to non stagnating cadres in the Customs and

(vi) Delay in granting of renewal of recognition to this Association.

In the above circumstances, we are obliged to declare our moral support to the Ministerial Associations on their agitation programme.

We may also kindly be permitted to place on record that if the CBIC does not immediately call the Staff Associations for negotiations and settle the long pending urgent issues, our members may also be constrained to go in for agitations to draw the attention of the Administration.

We sincerely hope that the CBIC would urgently step in so that the matters do not get escalated.

Yours truly,

(R. Manimohan)
