DOPT's CLARIFICATION ON PARMAR CASE IMPLEMENTATION

The DOPT in its reply to the CBDT, which has sought clarificaiton on interpretation of the provisions of DOPT OM dated 4-3-2014, It is stated that,

•  it would not be feasible/desirablrt to give generalized opinon in respect of pending  court cases, as every case would have to be dealt with in its own context, while applying the provisions of laid down policy. However basing on the general observations of DOPTs OM dated 4-3-2014, the provisions of the OM dated 7.2.86/3.7.86  remain applicable till 27-11-2012. 

• The cases of seniority which have been settled based on the available/implied interpretaton of OM dated 7.2.86/3.7.86 NEED NOT BE SUO MOTO REVISITED as it would unsettle the cadre dynamics.

•  "IN THE SPECIFIC CONTEXT OF INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT, WHEREIN THE INTER-SE SENIORITY OF DIRECT RECRUITS AND PROMOTEES HAVE BEEN UNDER DISPUTE ON GROUNDS OF MIS-INTERPRETATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE OM DATED 7.2.86/3.7.86 AND HAS LED TO PARMAR JUDGEMENT OF SUPREME COURT, IT IS UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONFIRMED THAT THE INTIRE ISSUE OF SENIORITY OF THE OFFICERS OF INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT WOULD HAVE TO BE REVISTED IN COMPLIANCE OF THE JUDGEMENT OF THE SUPREME COURT."

ITGOA submitted memorandum to Revenue Secy. on allocation of posts and various other issues

ITGOA submitted a detailed memorandum to Revenue Secretary regarding grievances regarding allcation of posts, extra ordinary delay to ACIT promotion, transfer policy etc. Mention to the reduction of posts from West Bengal region is described as " Also the allocation suggested drastic reduction of posts in the West Bengal Charge in all cadres i.e instead of allocating new additional posts the existing posts were also curtailed. On this issue we are of the opinion that the Board had deviated from the principle of Cadre-restructuring and also from the assurances given to us. Accordingly, we would like to request your honour to revisit the principle on which the posts were allocated by the Board and to set right the injustices committed to the charges where the existing strength was reduced."
ITGOA also issued a circular to members detailing current scenario including the much awaited ITO to ACIT promotion.
A meeting of JCA has been convened on 4th May 2014 to discuss and find out next course of action.
