CCIT Chennai implemented DOPT O.M. Dtd. 4.3.14 regarding seniority

Will the notification come out today ? That is the million dollar question. Let's wait and stay online.......
While every eyes on CBDT expecting cadre review notification alongwith regionwise distribution of posts, CCIT Chennai has implemented recent DOPT O.M. dated 04.03.14 regarding fixation of inter se seniority between direct recruit and promotees. As per their O.M. dated 24.03.2014, they strictly followed  the effective date of the Supreme Court Order in the N.R. Parmar case as 27.11.2012 as per the DOPT O.M. dated 04.03.2014 and refused to reopen any case prior to that date. Hence they disposed of all representations in the cases where appointment took place earlier stating that those needed no interference.

Cadre Restructure : F.M. nod on 27th March ?

As per news from ITEF (CHQ) sources, the cadre review file is still with Revenue Secretary. It is likely to be placed before F.M on day after tomorrow, the 27th March. F.M. is currently out of station and scheduled to return the capital on 27th. It may be mentioned that present Revenue Secretary is going to retire on 31st March. Will he take initiative to get the thing done within his tenure ?
It may be very frustrating for the employees to get another "date" as they have been waiting for the last 10 months after cabinet approval. Hope, we don't have to set a new deadline !!
