Dear Members,
It is with
humble gratitude to all the previous Presidents, Secretary Generals and all the
Office bearers that I communicate the grant of recognition accorded to AIASCT
by the Government of India. Now we are the sole Association representing the
Superintendents of Central Tax under CBIC.
It is the untiring efforts of many people who had a firm belief in
democratic ways, who moved bravely forward in adversity with unwavering
integrity, and with conviction beyond doubt which has yielded todays
fruits. We all stand to gain, enjoy and
relish the rewards of those selfless contributions by individuals who stood for
the cause of the cadre.
Though the
movement started only with a hand full number of units, it gained momentum at
the grass roots. Many more units joined,
many units blossomed and many units threw out their old regime and brought in
new leadership at the local levels. The
saga of the long fight for this justice, is already recorded in the various
pages of this blog earlier. Hence, I
would not like to repeat them now.
Here, I would
fail badly if I don’t mention the staunch and steadfast support of the members
who patiently waited for their leaders to succeed in this efforts and supported
the association in all its calls. You
have braced us in our falls, you have encouraged us in our efforts, you have
goaded us when the chips were down we are indebted to each and every member who
has made a positive impact by their resolute support.
And in spite of
all the stumbling blocks, it was the agitation that we launched last month that
finally forced the administration to yield.
The members who participated in it whole heartedly and all local office
bearers who made it a success need to be specially congratulated for this. This has shown us the way for launching
calibrated action programme.
This is
positively the end of the first step and the beginning of what could be a start
of a herculean task of putting forward our issues to the authorities and
achieving resolutions. We have a bundle
of issues like career progressions, pay matters etc. and new issues are
mounting like the new scrutiny instructions, back end issues etc. At least now the CBIC cannot deny our right to
represent our causes citing recognition.
I can safely say
that one of the causes for this inordinate delay in recognition of AIASCT is
also the hurdles put in by unscrupulous elements who have caused a minor divide
in the cadre with major consequences and a meagre few are yet to join the main
course. I take this opportunity to invite those units which are still not part
of AIASCT to embrace the majority and adopt democratic ways. Let us move
forward as one unified force to reckon with. On this day of joyousness,
celebration and achievement I call for unity and welcome all other left out
units with open arms to join the main stream.
Let us together achieve what is due for the cadre.
I would be
seeking an appointment with the Chairman and the Member (A & V) in the
coming few days to take forward this movement and bring to focus our
outstanding issues. I would urge all of you to be ready for any call of the
association for action to achieve the laid down objectives and the aspirations
for the cadre. The most important issue of resolution of the issue of
victimization of office bearers in Kolkata will be our first cause and lets all
vow to stand by our brothers of Bengal.
“Promotions” is
a word quite alien to our cadre, though heard once, most of the seniors yearning to hear it again one
last time before they retire. our
endeavor would be to fulfil that dream to as much and as quickly as possible.
The task is uphill but this empowered situation of recognition gives us a cause
to at least hope to achieve that objective.
We also have the
responsibility of taking care of the future generations of officers who have
been displaced from their home towns and have aspirations of Deputations and
loan basis Transfers to take care of emergent requirements of their families. A
streamlined policy with equity and justice is the need of the hour.
With lot more to
do, I sign off by congratulating each one of you and urging all to join hands
in our earnest efforts.
Hitherto
darkened and doomed
strikes a
lightening so bright
Showing us the
destiny much deserved
The dignity so well
earned
It is not the
words but the deeds we believe in
Fortune favors
only the bold.
Jai Hind, long live Association.
Yours truly
M.A. Jithendra
Secretary General
AIASCT
Excellent. Hope the unity brings us victory in the long pending other issues.

Better late than never. Kudos to the team. Congratulations👏👏👏
ReplyDeleteGreat Gesture by the GS on obtaining recognition, by mentioning efforts of earlier office bearers and showing the way ahead. Of course, with recognition the real struggle starts to bring recognition to the genuine aspirations of the members of Gr-B executive. Many best wishes for getting proper Cadre Restructuring.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the entire team who have worked hard to achieve this first goal. I am sure with this spirit and unity we will able to achieve our objectives without much delay
ReplyDeleteBest of luck. Hope we achieve the demand to re designate Superintendents who are in Level 10, as Asst. Commissioners.
ReplyDeleteRe designation is the worst thing u can ask for …not less than humiliation
DeleteCCGGOO congratulates entire Superintendents of Central Tax for achieving recognition of AIASCT by unified agitational programmes.
ReplyDeleteKudos to past and present leadership of AIASCT.
CCGGOO extends support to all demands like immediate redesignation of Superintendents who have already reached Pay Level 10 as Asst. Commissioner, resolution of the victimisation of office bearers in Kolkata, Career progressions etc.
Hope AIASCT gets further strengthened and achieve the genuine demands through programme of action.
Thanks to all Members of this Association who reposed faith in this Association
ReplyDeleteThe only panacea is to get batch wise (year wise) promotion. For this, no need for seniority list. A simple order is enough. The Association should strive for this.
ReplyDeleteYes
ReplyDeleteRe designation is the worst thing one can ask for…it is not less than humiliation for someone who has put more than 30yrs in service….Proper promotion as Asst. Commissioner is the only ways forward
ReplyDeleteAssociation should highlight the Latest Supreme Court order regarding Parmar issue to the HRD….Now there is no reason not to publish Seniority list…Also when AO can be promoted to CAO group A …then why Suptds are suffering for no reason n fault of theirs
ReplyDeleteKindly pursue redesignation of all PB3 5400 as Junior AC. There is no point in 3 years Inspector turned Supdt and 26 years Inspector turned Supdt being equal. No doubt we have good regard for juniors and wish them well.
ReplyDeleteAfter 30 years Junior???. No way.. Need to revamp policy of DGHRD & CBIC for a better and systematic time bound promotion.
ReplyDeleteIf redsignation is the only solution then promotee may be redsignated as ASSISTANT DIRECTOR and IRS as Assistant Commissioner.
Circular on grant of 5400 PB 2 to those Inspectors who have completed 4 after getting 4800 PB

It has been more than a month since issuance of sop of 'scrutiny of returns', wherein all the work related to scrutiny is to be done by Superintendent only. But not a single letter has been written by the association (s) of group B cadre reg shifting of all the responsibilities to the group B cadre. In the SOP itself, it has been said that PC/C will monitor the work of scrutiny, so the question is what other officers below the rank of PC/C will do except superintendent. Why ADC, JC, DC, AC would not scrutinized the returns? Why no distribution of work on the basis of turnover of the assessee with other risk parameters. Irony is, not a single association of any zone/circle or even AIB has raised this issue. 👎👎
