As usual lion’s share to be enjoyed by officers.

Income Tax Dept is introducing “Project Tarang” which will provide Blackberry Handsets to CCIT and CITs, Broadband connections in the residence of Group A officers, 3G Data Card for officers who got Laptop earlier, and mobile connections to all employees including officers.
The scheme is made with BSNL/MTNL as service provider.

Salient Features of this project :
1.                  All calls made from BSNL/MTNL mobile/landline to BSNL/MTNL mobile/landline will be free on all India basis without any STD and Roaming charges.
2.                  3G datacard with 5GB free download per month.
3.                  On every mobile connection, there will be 400 minute free calls to other service provider.
4.                  SMS to BSNL/MTNL will be free.
5.                  On every landline connection there will be 300 free calls to other service provider’s mobile/landline.
6.                  Broadband Connections will be of unlimited data usage.
In excess of the limit mentioned above charges will be borne by the employee.

It is clearly visible from the above features that the majority of the privileges will be enjoyed by the officers of the department as usual. It may be mentioned that they have earlier got laptop each without offering anything for the majority portion of employees and the operational vehicles are being used as personal property of the officers without any protest from the service association.

It is to be see whether the ITEF, the one and only service association for non gazetted employees will take it granted or not as they have done in the earlier occasion {At the time of distributing laptops to officers depriving the  common employees who were mainly responsible for achieving the target collecton}.

Thanks for valuable information to all taxmen.

Kudos to Ms. Manju Madhavan, an IRS officer of 1971 batch, for foreseeing the biggest scam in modern India. She resigned as Member (Finance), DoT apparently upset over the decisions of the Minister and his IAS chelas. In doing so she displayed an exemplary character. People in the Government know how honest and upright an officer she is. At the outset let us put a big full stop to one of the biggest beliefs in India that the IRS is the most corrupt among civil services. Being a Department dealing with the Government finances the Income Tax Department had to bear such noises quite often. Many wrong aspersions are cast on the Department. Corruption thrives in the Income Tax Department just as the case with other Government Departments. But any taxpayer or a Chartered Accountant or a Tax Practitioner would agree that the corruption is more prevalent at the lower levels and among the promote IRS officers. The directly recruited IRS officers recruited through Civil Services Exam conducted by the UPSC are mostly honest and upright. They are masters at various finance related matters and IRS officers are the only civil servants in the country doing the original work in the Department. This greatly contributes to their understanding of the ground realities and one of the reasons for their high success in any field of work. IRS officers have shown their mettle when on deputation to the Central Secretariat and to PSUs. IRS is the only service which can dislodge the IAS from their positions both by their expertise (talent) and powerful service lobby. The IAS are vary of this fact and are trying their best to suppress IRS officers. It is very apparent from the CVC reports that among civil servants IAS officers are the most corrupt. The number of cases against IRS officers is the least among the civil servants. The number of disciplinary actions recommended by the CVC (incidentally headed by an IAS officer) is proof enough that IRS is not as corrupt as is perceived and IAS is as corrupt as the politicians. Everybody is talking about ‘Spectrum Raja’ but what about the IAS officers ‘Spectrum Pradip Baijal’ – former TRAI Chairman and Disinvestment Secretary, ‘Spectrum Vasudev’ – former Economic Affairs Secretary, ‘Spectrum Ajay Dua’ – former Industrial Policy and Promotion Secretary, ‘Spectrum Seth’ – former TRAI Member, and ‘Spectrum Chandolia’ – former PS to Raja. Almost all corruption cases in the country are because of IAS officers. This is happening because of the continuation of the British legacy. The ICS (IAS was then called so) was formed as an arm of the British to suppress the Nationalist Movement. Post-independence the IAS is being used by the politicians to achieve their narrow ends. It’s time to set the things right.

The IAS should be given a specific area of work. They should not be a jack of all trades but a master of one. All civil services should be given their due. An IRS officer is best suited to be a Revenue Secretary than an IAS, an IFS officer is best suited to be Secretary, Min. of Environment and Forests than an IAS, an IAAS officer is the best suited to be C&AG than an IAS officer, an IRS or IAAS or ICAS is best suited to be a Finance Secretary than an IAS, an ITS officer is best suited to be DGFT and Commerce Secretary than an IAS, an IIS officer is best suited to be I&B Secretary than an IAS officer, an IPS officer is best suited to be a Home Secretary than an IAS officer, Scientists are best suited to be Agriculture Secretary, Culture Secretary, New and Renewable Energy Secretary, Science and Technology Secretary, Water Resources Secretary and an educated sportsman is best suited to be a Sports Secretary. An IRS or IPS officer should be the CVC rather than an IAS officer. But why then IAS officers are heading all these Departments and holding the country to ransom. Come on its time to change all this. Modern world needs specialization and honest officers. Our Hon’ble Prime Minister has been a Finance Secretary without being an IAS officer. He knows how the IAS lobby arm twists the Government. He is the right person to take action and fortunately he is at the helm of affairs and in a position to get it done. One should understand that the politicians don’t have the wherewithal to amass huge amounts of illegal wealth. The logistics are provided by the IAS babus. Long back the Rajamannar Committee has recommended the abolition of IAS. This is nothing to do with the persons but related only to the character of the IAS as a service that breeds corruption, nepotism and self aggrandizement which ultimately leads to the failure of a nation.
