Dear Members of AIASCT and Friends,
# NOTHING TO CELEBRATE FOR SUPERINTENDENTS OF CENTRAL TAX THIS GST DAY 2022
When Senior officers of the department are buoyant about GST revenue collections, their promotions, their facilities and wanted to celebrate the GST day on 1st July 2022 in a grand manner making committees, working teams and handing down work related to arrangements to superintendents, we just stopped for a moment and thought what is there to celebrate for us? The answer an emphatic "nothing". The CEC of AIASCT decided to communicate our deep felt anguish, frustration and disappointment at the state of our issues. Long pending issuance of All India Seniority List from 2007- no light at the end of the tunnel, when promotions are issued upto date for all other cadres DPC is pending from 2020 and there are more than 2000 vacancies of Assistant Commissioners unfilled while there are more than 6000 officers who are already drawing AC's scale. Alternate suggestions in the form of redesignation as atemporary measurer is also not considered. Even Supreme Court decisions are not being implemented; injustice in Pay matter; While there are 10 levels of supervisors above the Inspectors vacancies of more than 65% is unfilled leading to a huge burden of work only on Superintendents and added to that, pathetic working conditions. These are some of the issues which makes the life of a Superintendent miserable forcing many to go on VRS.
The deeper issues of Inter cadre disparities, ignominy of working under natural juniors from Customs side, regional disparities, injustice in Cadre restructuring etc are issues bringing down the morale of the cadre, but it appears that the CBIC is not bothered about the fate of its most important cadre. When the whole department celebrates the GST day 2022 there is nothing to celebrate for the Superintendents of Central Tax during the GST day 2022, so we will not be part of the celebrations this GST day we will continue to do what we are good at : work in our office.
We have also launched #nothingtocelebrate on twitter to bring to focus our outstanding issues it is for everyone to join hands in creating a wave so that the stake holders and others are aware of what is happening on HR front in CBIC. Please be part of the movement and make an impact by forwarding/tweeting to as many as you can. I call upon each member to do his bit.
We have let everyone trample all over us, there is a need for each one of us to stand up and say I do not want to participate, at least to say that I am in no mood to celebrate GST day on 1st July 2022. Until you send this message across boldly and register your displeasure nobody is going to notice.
Please read through the letter written by us to the Revenue Secretary here.
Time has come to Act, we Act or we perish.
Jai Hind, long live Association.
Yours truly
M.A. Jithendra
Secretary General
AIASCT
Sir how many letters is this association going to write….These all letters aren’t even read…Time has come that this association and it’s members have to act and act in a bold way….It’s either perform or perish situation for this highly demotivated cadre with no future progression….Kindly act in a bold and swift manner
ReplyDeleteThat is what the SG has asked us to do
DeleteHow by not participating in GST day celebration’s?
DeleteDo u think cbic bosses care whether we participate or not?
Pls understand on option legit before us is strong protest/meetings/boycotting work like CSS staff did which resulted in their mass promotions.
It’s a humble request to the SG and president to think about it….
Again after one month a letter will b written to chairman which will not even be read…So better we search for some other options on similarly lines like CSS staff
Anonymous and unknown logon ko apna naam clearly likhna chahiye. Jisse malum to ho ki hum kiske sath discuss kar rahe hain
ReplyDeleteNo of tweet and retweet are very less till now
ReplyDeleteWe have been on this path in the earlier tax regime also by way of boycotting Central Excise Day celebrations...History seems to be repeating itself...this time it's #nothingtocelebrate...Hope we get some positive results this time...
ReplyDeleteNothing to celebrate
ReplyDeleteOnly option left before us to go to on strike.
ReplyDeleteWhether positive results or negative results we should mark our protests
ReplyDeleteSir now when DoPT has done mass promotions of its officers by consulting legal experts …time has come for our association also to demand for same by the same way as CSS staff did…I.e. by protest on a large scale …kindly consider this..it is high time now
ReplyDeleteSir, in CSS Cadre only litigation on the issue of 'Resrvation in promotion' but in our case in addition to that issues such as 'Inter Cadre disparity' and 'Intra Cadre disparity' is also there.
DeleteA group of people think that DPC shall be conducted at the earliest, another group think if DPC is conducted based upon existing list then regional disparity will increase, hence the solution is redesignation of Superintendent based on combined length of Service as Inspector and Superintendent. This will not only solved stagnation but also resolved regional disparity issue.
The option of re-designation is good but the question is that whether our board will be ready for it or not …to make it happen also the option which is left before us is mass protest on a larger scale ..be it for DPC or re designation….my only suggestion is that to get our demands full filed we r left with no option except protest like CSS staff did..
ReplyDeleteCan you elaborate the pharse "like CSS staff did"
DeleteKindly search on google the way they have done their protest ….
