Dear friends and comrades
All
are aware of the recent events wherein Shri. Shishir Agnihotri, resigned from
the post of Secretary General of AIASCT consequent upon Deputation to
Competition Commission. This has bestowed
upon me the huge honor of being the chief executive of this esteemed Association.
It is a humbling experience to be able to sit with the stalwarts of the
Association movement and contribute your bit for the benefit of the cadre. I am no novice in the Association
movement and I have all along been office bearer of Karnataka Inspectors
Association and later from 2007 I have continuously been an office bearer of Superintendents
Association of Karnataka rising from the ranks to be the President of the Karnataka
Unit. My interactions with various All India office bearers right from Kanpur
convention has given me a heads-up on various issues and I am sure will go a
long way in understanding the various issues grappling the cadre.
Further
more the course of this association has already been set by the last three
conventions and a stand is already taken on most of the issues and I do not see
any reason to change the course or the stands of this association. The firm
grounds on which this association functions emerges from the democratic values on
which it was founded and the democratic processes which has been put in place by
us. You will never find me putting a
dent to these strong values as it is very close to my heart too and is the
very essence of our existence. The EC is
Sacrosanct and its will should and will always prevail. Here I would like to
urge the CEC members to participate in all the discussions without fear so that
the best decision is churned out.
I
am blessed with the company of people in CEC with a bundle of talent and I am
sure that I can dive at will to utilize their abundant skills and resources for
the common cause of the cadre. I am extremely confident that we will be capable
of resolving any issue if we put our heads together and stand united on all our
causes.
We
have reason for immediate concern as the recognition of the Association is a clumsy
stumbling block in all our endeavors and is required to be quickly resolved. However the same should in no way stop our push for the quick resolution of
issues at Kolkata. Our brothers have
gone without salary for two months now and this should and will be our
immediate concern. Hope we can resolve
these impending issues quickly so that the other important issues of the cadre
are taken up with the administration. While recognition could be the means it
is not an end in itself and is only the actual beginning of what we started in
Chennai and we need to traverse many a mile stones.
“Promotion”
has been a mirage for this cadre and it pains to see hordes of Superintendents retire
with a single promotion in their entire career.
The various litigations on the seniority list have been a cause but the
bigger cause is the mismanagement of HR which is the cause of the litigation and lack of will on part of the administration to break this
impasse and break a new path. The various suggestions given in this regard like
re-designation scheme will be followed up with new vigor.
There
are numerous issues pertaining to Pay matters, working condition,
Infrastructure, Welfare, implementation of Court orders to all similarly placed officers, removal of disparities, back-end issues ……. The list
is never ending but the essence of this association is to keep chipping away at
the objectives relentlessly and untiringly and the results will definitely show.
We also need to evolve new ways of achieving our objectives and ensure that we
are heard.
The
task ahead can neither be achieved single handedly nor overnight. It needs
constant vigil, persistent efforts, evolving strategies and contribution from
every person and every quarter. I promise to do my best at all costs with Integrity,
Sincerity and tenacity, but I seek support from each one of you to move forward
from the rut in which we stand now and make a difference to the future.
Jai
Hind, long live Association.
Yours
truly
M.A. Jithendra
Secretary General
AIASCT
Very refreshing message.
ReplyDeleteIt has been more than a fortnight 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 so called 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 has raised this issue after issuance of the aforesaid SOP.👎👎
DeleteWell written and we extend our unconditional support in achieving our targetted goals.
ReplyDeleteExpecting some results for a change!
ReplyDeleteNice message.proud.to have you as our Secretary General
ReplyDeleteNicely worded message from Secretary general.Hope something good will happen to our Cadre in near future.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope you succeed in your efforts for betterment of the Cadre.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you jeetuji on the active mode which is the need of hours. Hope we will succeed in our goals. Anil Kumar
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
ReplyDeleteExpecting under your leadership we can achive best for the cadre. Taking the matter directly with the DGHRD and CBIC can only yield results. In my opinion Local level protest such as black badge ,gate dharna in current scenario will hardly fetch positive results. So strengthen our team at Delhi and take up matter directly with Board.
All the best dear Jithu.

It is pathetic that Superintendents of Central Tax are retiring with only one promotion in the entire career of 35 years or more.
ReplyDeleteCCGGOO protests against the deliberate delaying tactics of the CBIC in renewal of recognition of AIASCT.
CCGGOO protests against the victimization of office bearers and members of Kolkata unit.
Stop demoralization of the seniors who have not got even a second promotion in their entire career.
CCGGOO extends support to the agitational programmes by AIASCT on their genuine demands.
Long live Central govt.employees & Officers unity.
There are number of cases before different benches of CAT on issue related to reservation in promotion such as Own merit issue and Catch up Rules.
ReplyDeleteIf all these case transferred in One bench and CAT hear them jointly then there may be a possibility that CAT can issue interim direction which can be apply during pendency of litigation and pave the way for DPC and also bring uniformity among different CCA.
Encouraging message. All the very best.
ReplyDeleteThe best option is to redesignate 24 years service (Inspector plus Supdt) who are in PB3 as Junior Assistant Commissioner Group A without transfer liability. They can remain with the same CCA. All will be happy to retire peacefully. No revenue extra spent by anyone even Rupee 1.

ReplyDeleteRightly pointed out. Scrutiny of returns should be turnover based and those with higher turnover should be done by higher ranked officers
