Addressing stagnation, strengthening tax administration and restoring confidence
Dear Members,
Warm Greetings of the Day!
AIASCT has submitted its
response to the DGHRD's request for suggestions and inputs on the ongoing Cadre
Restructuring exercise in CBIC.
While welcoming the
Department's decision to seek stakeholders' views, the Association has
emphasized that meaningful consultation requires greater transparency and
active participation of stakeholders in the restructuring process.
In its communication,
AIASCT has highlighted that more than thirteen years have elapsed since the
last Cadre Restructuring, during which the indirect tax administration has
undergone significant transformation, particularly with the introduction of
GST. The Association has underlined the need for the restructuring exercise to
address both the functional requirements of the Department and the
long-standing issue of stagnation in the Group-B Executive Cadre.
The Association has also
pointed out that several committees have examined the issue over the years, yet
the framework presently under consideration has not been shared with
stakeholders. AIASCT has therefore requested that the proposed structure be
made available so that informed and constructive inputs can be provided.
Further, the Association
has reiterated its demand for inclusion of representatives of our association
in any Committee or Working Group constituted for Cadre Restructuring.
Decisions affecting the future of thousands of officers must be based on broad
stakeholder participation and field-level experience.
The true significance of
the Cadre Restructuring exercise lies in its potential to build a stronger, more
efficient and future-ready organisation while addressing the long-standing
concerns of stagnation, career progression and optimal utilisation of human
resources. It is hoped that the ongoing exercise will culminate in a balanced
and inclusive framework that not only meets the evolving requirements but also
recognises the legitimate aspirations of its workforce, thereby fostering
greater motivation, commitment and institutional strength.
With Fraternal Regards,
Secretary General
