No authentic news about DPC for 2015-16 (ITO to ACIT)

As informed earlier, DPC did not take place in April. There is no update available from ITGOA in this regard. Rumours are spreading that the said DPC is uncertain as of now. Some of those persons spreading rumours showing the cause of retirement of Member (P & V) while some of them are telling about the objection raised by UPSC about convening of back to back DPCs for adhoc promotion. But it makes little sense as in adhoc promotions, UPSC has no role of it's own. Their authority certainly comes into play in case of regular promotions. The third group are saying that CBDT wants to send the proposal for regular promotion to UPSC first and only after their denial, they can take the adhoc route. The question is while the earlier proposal (2014-15) has been reverted back with objection from UPSC, whether they will approve regular promotion to the next batch while the same scenario exists ! In that case is there any justification to send the proposal to UPSC ?
Unfortunately , there is no communication from ITGOA who could clear the air as they are believed to be in constant touch with CBDT. Hundreds of employees who may be benefited with the consequential promotion are still waiting anxiously. 
Leaders, are you listening ?

ITGOA expects Adhoc ACIT promotion order today (07/04/2016)

Under intense pressure from different corner of the country ITGOA compelled to apprise the members about promotion order, future DPC etc.
As per the communication from ITGOA dated 06th April 2016, Promotion order likely to be issued today, 7th April and DPC for Adhoc promotion for vacancy year 2015-16 may be conducted on 21 or 22nd April 2016.
Full text of the ITGOA communication is as under.
"The DPC for the ad‐hoc promotion to the cadre of ACIT, for 200 vacancies against the R.Y. 2014‐15, was held on 31‐03‐2016. The promotion order (ad‐hoc) is expected to be passed on 07‐04‐2016. It has already been intimated through the Circular no. 03 of ITGOA, dated 31‐03‐2016, that the Ad‐hoc DPC for 200 vacancies against the R.Y. 2015‐16 will be convened by the CBDT shortly, if the deficiencies in APARs can be removed by then. The deficiency list of 116 officers was uploaded on 30‐03‐2016. All the Units of ITGOA were requested to remove the deficiencies by 05‐04‐2016 and send the requisite documents to the Board. It was also requested to all the Unit leadership to send the documents positively through messenger and not by post to save time and help the ad‐hoc DPC for the R.Y. 2015‐16 to be held as soon as possible. It has been decided that the DPC for the ad‐hoc promotion in ACIT against the 200 vacancies of the R.Y. 2015‐16 will be held on 21/22‐04‐2016 by the CBDT but unfortunately, only a few Units have complied with completing the deficient APARs till date and 95 cases out of 116 deficient APARs are still pending. It is to state that if we can’t pursue the local authorities to send all the APARs removing deficiencies, as per the list, to the CBDT by 12‐04‐2016, the DPC for the ad‐hoc promotion will not be possible to be held on 21/22‐04‐2016. Also, the Units must ensure that the replies/complete APARs sent by them are accepted by the concerned Directorate of the CBDT and no further queries are made. Further, I do request the members of CHQ once again to make themselves available at Delhi right from tomorrow, on rotation, to help preparing the proposal for the ad‐hoc DPC or otherwise, the said DPC will be delayed indefinitely."  

Still no update on adhoc promotion, members are furious

We regret to inform you that even today, in the evening of 6th April, no update available about Adhoc promotion order to the post of ACIT.
The promotion aspirants of the vacancy year 2014-15 are totally frustrated and shattered. ITGOA expected the order on 4th April but even after 48 hours of the deadline they did not bother to inform the members about any recent development.
In the meantime rumours are spreading everywhere. Some people are talking about stay order in Principal CAT but no such order could be traced so far. Some are blaming the F.M. for not signing the required approval. Some of the members are blaming the red-tapism/procedural delay.
It should be the moral responsibility of ITGOA to tell the truth and that too without any delay.
