ITEF works out formula for diversion of posts to deprived circles

ITEF Central Hqr. issued a circular today regarding various issues including filling up or additional posts, Recruitment Rules, 
diversion of posts, memorandum to 7th CPC etc.
Following are the salient features :
Cadre Restructuring and filling up of posts.
"We hope by this time in all Circles the process of filling up of Addtiionaly allotted posts of Cadre Restructuring including consequential vacancies for the RY 2013-14 in the cadres of Group B & C would have taken place.  In any Charge, if this has not been completed or only partly done, the same may be intimated to the CHQ with reasons for the delay for taking up the matter with the Board for further necessary instructions.  As informed in the CWC meeting held on 1st June, 2014, the RRs for all group B & C cadres have been finalized and submitted to the Secretary (Revenue)for approval.  The same will be submitted to the Department of Personnel for its approval.  The CHQ is pursuing the matter for its early clearance.  The instructions for conducting the DPCs for the RY 2014-15 will be issued only after approval of the RR.  In the event of delay in getting the RRs approved, alternative ways will be explored for filling up of the posts for RY 2014-15."
Diversion of Cadre Restructuring posts.
A formula has been prepared to divert some posts to deficient circles. As per the formula, only 18 posts of ITO and 170 posts of Inspectors may be diverted from one charge to another. (It may be mentioned that while CBDT did not consider ITEF proposal before allocation of posts, it is really surprising that the leaders expect that CBDT will dance in their tune now !)

Central JCA submitted 11 point charter of demand

Update : Kolkata issued Inspector Promotion Order on 10.06.2014.
Download the Order
"The Central JCA, in its meeting held on 02-06-2014 at New Delhi thread-barely discussed the issues/ problems remaining unresolved at the apex level for a long time and it appears that no sincere or discernible efforts have been taken by the Board to resolve these issues. The meeting further took stock of the situation in view of such long pending issues and rising resentment among the rank and file of its members. The meeting, therefore, chalked out an 11-point charter of demands concerning the welfare and career of its members for their immediate settlement by the Board to avoid any future industrial unrest in the Department. The said charter of demand is enclosed with this letter with the expectation that the Chairman, will sincerely address the issues on a priority basis within a reasonable period of time so as to avoid unpleasant situation in the department.
