ITEF is not satisfied of finalization of cadre review without consulting them

Following is the message published in ITEF website in response to Chairperson's farewell message.
"According to the signing off message (Published in the website of IRS Officers) of the outgoing Chairperson, CBDT, the proposal of allocation of posts and other Recruitment Rules etc. have been approved by the CBDT and sent to the Finance Minister for approval.  It is also mentioned that the CCAs have been directed to be ready for implementation.  This is in contravention of the understanding reached between the ITEF and the Member (P&V) on 17.01.2014 that the Board will cause discussion with ITEF Representative again after finalisation of  the proposal for allocation of posts and as such,a breach of trust."

ITEF withdraws agitation, Chairperson assures discussion with ITEF before finalizing allocation

View the ITEF circular in this regard which is self explanatory. As per the circular, Board yet to finalize the allocation and hopefully to conclude the discussion next week. Chairperson assured to hold talk with ITEF to reach an amicable solution.
regarding implementation of Parmar issue, DOPT asked CBDT for law ministries approval and so the earlier order of CBDT is kept in abeyance till now.
Read the full circular for more details.
"Cir. No. 40/12-15                                                                        Dated: 14th Feb. 2014

Dear Comrade,

               We thank you very much for the great efforts undertaken by all of you in carrying out the month long agitation of non-co-operation action against the nugatory attitude of CBDT in settlement our long pending demands. We were informed by our circle secretaries of the tremendous participation of our members in the black flag demonstrations and walk out organised at the time of visit of the Board authorities to the State capitals and elsewhere. These actions had its salutary impact even though some of our circle could not carry out the programme as effectively as others.

            The undersigned along with Com. President had met chairperson and Member(P&V) today. In the matter of allocation of posts, the Chairperson informed us that the internal discussions in the Board are yet to reach finality.  She has indicated that the said discussions might be concluded during the next week, where after, the issue will be subjected to discussion with ITEF  to reach an amicably agreed proposition.

In view of the directions of DOPT to refer the clarifications on implementation of Supreme Court Order in Union of India & Ors vs. N.R.Parmar & Ors. to Law Ministry for their approval, the Board has decided to keep the earlier instruction in abeyance.   Also since the CAT principal Bench has stayed the Board’s order stopping payment to daily rated workers, the Board will issue appropriate orders in the matter.

In the light of above discussions and conclusions we may advise you to suspend the ongoing non-co-operation movement for the time being but be prepared to recommence the same at short notice.

            With greetings,

Yours fraternally,

(KP Rajagopal)

Secretary General"

ITEF joined strike but ITGOA only expressed "solidarity" !

Barring a few stations, most of the ITEF members participated in the first day of 48 hours strike called by the confederation. One of the exception reported is the Western UP circle. There may be a few more. Viewers are requested to send feed back. 
The most surprising thing in this matter is the attitude of ITGOA. As usual they abstained from strike. But as they need the support of their JCA counterpart, expressed solidarity to the striking employees. In many regions they cleared their stand to ITGOA members over SMS about not joining the strike action but did not publish anything in the official website anticipating mass anger of ITEF members. ITGOA leadership continued their opportunist stand of enjoying the fruit without facing any possible consequences.
Our viewers may be surprised to notice that no update is being provided on cadre review. Practically no news is available as of now regarding final allocation of posts or any other matter. Viewers may rest assured that update will be available as and when available.

Agitation continues till CBDT considers ITEF proposal on allocation of posts

Following is being published from the website of ITEF Mumbai circle.
"The Member (P), CBDT, has assured the ITEF leadership in the meeting held on 16th & 17th January, 2014 at New Delhi and also in her meeting with us in Mumbai on 29th January, that the issue of allocation of posts will be discussed with us before taking a final decision. She also informed us that the Board meeting in this regard is inconclusive and once the CBDT comes to a decision the matter will be discussed with the ITEF. We are hopeful that the CBDT will keep its word and hold discussion with us before finalising the allocation of posts. The ongoing agitational programme will be called off only after an agreement is reached with the CBDT. Do not believe rumours....Continue the agitation in totality..... "

CBDT on marathon meetings regarding cadre restructure

The Chairperson and other board members have been busy for hours in meeting for final allocation of posts. The meeting continued for the whole day yesterday and continuing even today. Sources informed that the process of post allocation is to be completed within 31st of this month at any cost. But the employees had seen several such deadlines earlier and after more than eight months of cabinet approval, the result is still a big zero.

Distribution of additional posts yet to take final shape

Allocation of additional manpower due to cadre restructuring is still awaited. CBDT is yet to take final decision in this regard. The report of core committee is published in certain websites but that has not been approved by CBDT. To avoid confusion among the viewers we are not reproducing the suggested allocation as that might mislead the employees. It is learnt from reliable sources that Revenue Secretary, as directed by the Finance Minister has already intervened in this matter and made CBDT to review the allocation afresh. Meanwhile ITEF is continuing it's agitation programme to keep pressure on CBDT.
The details of non cooperation is detailed below :

JCA West Bengal seeks Revenue Secy's intervention reg discrimination to WB region

Following is the letter sent to Revenue Secretary by JCA, West Bengal Unit seeking intervention against discrimination made to West Bengal charge regarding allocation of posts.
In this letter JCA, West Bengal has stated the suspension of agitation keeping faith on Revenue Secretary, though a separate call for agitation and non cooperation is called in the banner of ITEF central circle.
The final report of core committee regarding allocation of posts cut a very sorrow figure in respect of West Bengal charge where possibility of promotion remains really bleak.
