AIASCT- Cadre Restructuring Committee Constituted: Time for United and Determined Collective Action

With structured groundwork underway, members must prepare for a sustained and coordinated course to secure our rightful demands.

Dear Members of the AIASCT Fraternity,

Warm Greetings of the Day!

The XVIAll India Convention at Coimbatore held on 12–13 March 2026 deliberated in detail on the pressing need for cadre restructuring and emphasized the urgency of taking structured action on this long-pending issue. This was followed by the Association’s visit to Delhi on 7th and 8th April 2026, where the matter was taken up with senior officers including the Chairman, CBIC and DGHRD officials. Subsequently, in the meeting of the Central Committee, it was decided to take forward this issue in a focused and time-bound manner through the constitution of a dedicated Committee.

In furtherance of the above, the AIASCT has constituted a Cadre Restructuring Committee to undertake a comprehensive and structured exercise on this crucial issue.

The Committee will study past proposals, representations and memoranda made by the Association before the authorities and integrate the same into its exercise. It has been entrusted with undertaking a comprehensive review of the existing cadre structure, including identification of key challenges such as stagnation, promotional bottlenecks and functional imbalances across formations. The Committee will also examine structural requirements in light of the evolving role of the department and develop a pragmatic, forward-looking framework aligned with both administrative efficiency and the career progression of members.

The Committee comprises members from various zones and formations, ensuring broad-based representation. The names of the members have been notified separately. (Click here to view the notification of AIASCT – Cadre Restructuring Committee)

Importantly, the exercise will adopt a participative approach, inviting inputs, suggestions and data from units and members across the country. Based on detailed analysis and inputs, the Committee will prepare a structured and well-reasoned proposal/representation on cadre restructuring. The same will be placed before the Central Committee and Central Executive Committee for deliberation, prior to submission to the competent authorities. The Committee will also provide timely and continuous inputs to the Central Committee to support effective presentation and sustained follow-up of the issue before the authorities.

This initiative marks a crucial step in translating discussions at the policy level into concrete action. The Association remains actively engaged with the authorities and committed to pursuing this matter with sustained focus. Members are encouraged to actively contribute their inputs to this important exercise [E-mail: aisacbitc@gmail.com].

In the backdrop of the above developments, it is imperative that members remain prepared for a sustained and determined course of action. While the Association will continue to pursue the matter through all appropriate channels, members should be mentally and organizationally ready for the challenges that may arise in securing our legitimate demands. If required, this may entail collective efforts, including calibrated agitational programmes, to effectively convey the concerns of the cadre and achieve a just and favourable outcome.

With fraternal regards!
