An Open Letter to Mr. Ravi Malik, Assistant Commissioner.
Dear Mr. Ravi Malik,
All these days, our cadre has been treated to your liberal lies. So too you have without bating an eye lid, written what ever suits you to the CBEC/CBIC.
Those who know about you and me from 1998 Nagpur Convention of the AIFCEEOA, do not require any explanations.
But many came in latter into Association activities. During the period from 2008 to 2016 I had also not been active in Association activities at the All India level, after my promotion as Superintendent. Hence, some of my well wishers have asked me to give a feed back to the cadre on your allegations.
One oft repeated lie by you is that I was one of those who broke the the Inspector Association. I think, when the Convention of the said Federation was called for by me at Kolkatta in 2003, as President of that Association/Federation, you had already been promoted as Supdt. So you may not know what happened and why the Convention had been held to revive the Association.
What exists today as AICEIA is what was revived at that Kolkatta Convention. So where was the division?
After you and I lost against Mr. Srinivas for the post of SG of AIFCEEOA at the Nagpur Convention in 1998, did you ever stir a leaf in the All India Association, when you were an Inspector and GS at Delhi for fighting for pay scale or removal of stagnation?
While I campaigned through out the Southern India, (as per the then SG's request and though I had lost the election against him) for the three day strike call given by the Co ordination Committee of Revenue in 1998-99, on the pay scale matter, what was your contribution?
On the contrary, you unilaterally walked out of a meeting with the then Commissioner, DOPM when I was discussing modalities for bringing down regional imbalances, in 2001. And that too in that meeting for which I had got appointment as the President of the Federation and you were merely the GS of the Delhi unit. What national interest did you serve by walking out and torpedoing the proposal made by me?
When I proposed in the EC of AIFCEEOA that we will first get the pay scale fixed notionally from 1.1.96 as done in the case of organised Accounts Services by the CPC, and then fight for 1.1.86, who was it who declared that we will not take anything other than from 1.1.86 with arrears and delayed action till we could get it prospectively only in 2004?
When in the EC of AIACEGEO held at Kolkatta, Com. Kousik wanted you to revive the Subramaniam case in the SUPREME COURT did you not say that it pertains only to Inspectors? When I pointed out that all beneficiaries are now Supdts and hence this Association should take it up, did you not put up a list of a numerous number of cases filed by you and demand a whooping 6-7 Crores?
To rejuvenate our Association I had proposed to you during the same Kolkatta EC (during lunch) that our Constitution should be amended to make it in tune with the CCS (RSA) Rules and voting rights should be linked to paid up membership, did not Mr. C.S.Sharma tell me that Constitution can be amended only in the Convention? When he told that in your presence, did you not fail to point out that it was contrary to the Constitutional provisions and that the EC had the powers to amend? So what was your interest in keeping the units dormant? Where did you get funds from when the subscriptions were not being collected by check off?
While I laid down office as Secretary General of AICEIA in 2008 before taking my promotion, even though the tenure was not yet over, have you not been misusing the name of the post of SG of AIACEGEO and name of this Association even after your promotion, even after your President wanted you to step down, even after most of the units (24 against 7) and members (5317 against 1350) formed this legitimate body in a meeting presided over by the President, who was still a Superintendent and even after the Board has clarified that the so called amendment (disputed though) claimed by you has not been approved by the Govt and therefore ACs cannot continue in this association as per CCS (RSA) Rules?
Even at Delhi, you have continued without elections for more than 7 years and even after the new body took over, it is learnt that you have neither handed over the accounts and bank balance nor the correspondence of the Association.
Still you try to misguide the members of this Association and cadre.
Already many of your allegations had been answered in the following blogs, even when the Convention was due:
Now, kindly leave the members of this Association at peace. PLEASE.
Thank you.
With a sincere thanks for whatever you achieved for the cadre in the company of our other leaders,
R. Manimohan,
Secretary General,
AIACEGEO.

ReplyDeleteMani ji,
ReplyDeleteI think & Request, both. Not to escalate further. I have (& will) requested Ravi too on this.
Because, in this blame-clarification process, we all are loosing important time. We have to utilise this time period to consolidate all 3 Inspr Cx born fraternity/s, and to challenge the CBIC in CR-2018 for bringing just & fair Gr-A Promotion through criteria of combined length of service. OR, through separate organised Central GST Branch-B Service.
What advice can you give him when he is working against your Assn also sir?
DeleteIn the interest of the cadre, it would be better if there is a one to one talk between the two comrades. But this meet should be without any prejudice and precondition. We all are interested in the welfare of the cadre and for that, name of a leader is not important. Doesn't matter if we are lead by Ravi Malik or R Manimohan or anyone else. We should have a single body who should work for our benefits. Leader is not king. He just represents the cadre before the authorities.
ReplyDeleteHow can a AC sit on our head even after Board’s refusal
DeleteAshishji, I have spoken to him enough when he was SG and I was a member. Now as SG I have to talk to him only if he is a member.
DeleteWell! Kindly throw light on the amendments in the constitution that your AIEC has made Since Daman convention. Have they been approved by the competent authority? Besides, kindly throw some light on the achievements of the Association being lead by you since your last convention, except playing to the gallery that AC should not lead us or this was wrongly raised by them and rightly raised by us.
DeleteI will be presenting all the above details in my Report to the Convention to be notified after May 2019. You are most welcome to come and evaluate them.
DeleteBro! My basic questions remain unanswered
DeleteWell said sir 👌
ReplyDeleteThese r snakes in the monkey shadows & have nothing 2 do with cadre... only self interested achievements goals were higlighted at the cost of cadre sufferings & stagnation...
ReplyDeleteIf any GR A officer is preferred to be the head of AIACEGEO, then better we choose our chairman or Member or DGHRD to head the association.The person who is not even entitled to be the member,is claiming himself as SG of the association. Certainly he is having selfish motives.

Well said.
ReplyDeleteWell said.
ReplyDeleteit appears there is some huge money involved in these associations, thats why instead of working for cadres.. they are just fighting against each other. not even a single useful initiative has been taken by these associations for inspector or superintendent cadre..
ReplyDeleteFrom our side, we are on deficit. Not due to organisational expenses but due to more than 12 lakhs spent on the Bharathan (Parmar) case in the Supreme Court and CAT Chennai on Customs re-organisation. Of course, the units will be paying their subscription for the last year. As of the availability of funds on the other side,we do not know. We have only seen appeals for funds in huge quantums whenever there is a case somewhere filed by someone. After 8 years in office, even the local unit of Delhi is not aware of the fund position. The accounts have also not been produced to the local office bearers elected after 7 years. But, apart from that there are some key issues raised all along. They are central to any self-respecting cadre and organisation. Any one capable of taking up organisational activities with cadre interests will be able to understand. If not there is no point in explaining.
Deleteyour comments appear genuine. but its a fact that the other blog is frequently updated although they are always grievances with no concrete result.
DeleteJust to mention disparity in promotions, pay scales bw Customs & CGST, GST Zones, CBI and CGST could have easily been addressed, had our associations been one and relentlessly worked for it. But, we are not one and focus on trivial things.
Is there any concrete plan at your end to get concrete results or is it due to divided cadre that nothing can be done?
DeleteWithout association , the better scale of pay for CBI officers including risk allowances , Adequate opportunities for promotion , one month extra salary for working in years holidays 2.5 day per month and many more .This is due to Sr Officers presenting their cases before pay commission or committee.
ReplyDeleteOne issue of Subramaniam case has not been implemented in rem so far.The association is meaningless. Promotion prospectus is bleak .Now 5-6 yr inspectors are promoted to Supdt. This should have achieved long ago.This has been done without association
ReplyDeleteI don't remember any achievement of our any association. Nothing has been achieved for the cadre so far. Whatever we got was as per the time frame or as given by the authority or pay commission. Still fighting for sg.
