ITO to ACIT : Adhoc promotion ?

It is widely discussed in different corners of ITGOA leadership that CBDT is likely to proceed for adhoc promotion of 200 ITOs of the 2014-15 vacancy year within the current financial year.
The DPC proposal sent to UPSC earlier has reportedly been reverted back with objections relating to seniority issues as per NRP implementation. UPSC is not likely to hold regular DPC unless NRP is implemented uniformly all over the country.
Board may grant ad hoc promotion of 200 ITOs within 31st March 2016. Question arises will the vacancies likely to be created against the adhoc promotion will be filled in with adhoc promotion in the lower rank ?
Stay tuned for latest update, if any !
Most urgent.
CBDT uploaded updated deficiency list of ITOs for the panel year 2015-16 and asked all Pr CCIts to remove the deficiencies as per latest UPSC guideline.

Is the Dept. being run by IRS officers only ?

All the information, instructions,circulars etc. are being communicated by departmental portal http://www.irsofficersonline.gov.in/. It is most unfortunate that only the IRS officers are authorized to view it's content with user id and password.
CBDT regularly issues circular and instructions for the assessing officers (most of them are ITOs) and expects compliance. Leave alone Group C workforce, even the assessing officers are not authorized to use the portal. Needless to mention that no classified or secret document is published in this portal which may need restricted usage.
This is sheer derogatory to each and every non IRS employees in the department.  JCA did not take the matter seriously ever. Despite writing a few routine letters to CBDT, they did not really take up the issue.
Therefore, we on behalf of each and every non IRS employee of the Income Tax Department demand immediate access to www.irsofficersonline.gov.in.

CBDT directed all regions to conduct DPC for the vacancy year 2016-17

CBDT directed all cadre controlling Pr CCITs to conduct DPC for Group B & C posts for the vacancy year 2016+17. As the new recruitment rule of Executive Assistants is yet to be notified and as per CBDT, it will likely to take some more time, DPCs to be done as per old RRs of Sr.T.A./O.S./Stg Gr I.
