Income Tax Employees charter of demand adopted at XXVII All India Delegates Conference of ITEF.

The XXVII All India Delegates Conference of the ITEF held at Mumbai from 10^th to 14^th February, 2009 after the deliberations on the report submitted by the Secretary General resolved unanimously;

 

That the ITEF should embark upon agitational programmes including strike action, if no settlement as assured by the CBDT earlier is not brought about on the charter of demands and especially on the following issues immediately.

 

(i)                            assigning grade pay of Rs. 4600 as per Government of India notification to Inspectors, Private Secretaries and Administrative officers and Rs. 1800 to all Group D employees;

(ii)                          all employees are provided with mobile phone facility out of the infrastructure fund;

(iii)                         no outsourcing of any departmental functions, especially the return processing, as per the recommendations of the BPR report;

(iv)                        the BPR should not be acted upon without reaching an agreement with the ITEF

(v)                          all Group C employees be provided with desktop computers to facilitate and speed up the functions entrusted to them immediately.

 

The Conference decided that the newly elected CHQ Secretariat should meet immediately to chalk out necessary campaign programme to popularize the demands and mobilize the members for the eventual action, to be organized;

 

The Conference regretfully noted that the DG (Systems) and the Directorate of System have totally failed in providing the software programme and hardware tools in time resulting in inordinate delay in processing returns.  The migration of data to the National Server and the delay in connectivity have compounded the problem.  The Conference decided to demand that no new system be introduced before the present scheme is stabilized and made effective.

 The Conference after considering the Accounts submitted by the CWC for the three years came to the conclusion that the financial health of the ITEF CHQ has to be improved and the renewal fees which are the only sustainable income should be significantly increased.  It was also considered by the house that in the event of the revision of wages on acceptance of the 6^th CPC recommendations, the income of members of the ITEF has also gone up and in the circumstances an increase in the rate of renewal fees would not be a financial strain for the members. Accordingly it was decided that the renewal fees would be raised from April, 2009 onwards as under:

 

            1. for those employees who are in PB 1.                       Rs. 20/=

            2. for those who are in PB 2                                         Rs. 30/=

 

            The Conference also took note of the fact that the dues on account of salary and allowance for the outgoing Secretary General are huge as is depicted in the Balance Sheet for the year 31.3.2008.  The Conference asked the CHQ Secretariat to immediately pay off the dues to Com. K.K.N. Kutty from out of the existing funds.
