Meeting with Chairperson postponed to 9th Dec. Promotions to be effected within December.

The quarterly review meeting with Chairperson CBDT has been postponed to 9th of December. Member(P) informed that the sub committee for allocation of posts has been asked to submit it's report by 29th November so that promotions may be effected within December. 
Read the full text of the ITEF circular below .
"The meeting was scheduled to be held on 22.11.2013 at 3PM.  The meeting was convened after a gap of nine months on our persistent demand.  To our utter disappointment, we were informed at the last moment that the Chairperson is engaged in some urgent meeting and the QRM has to be rescheduled.  We were then invited by the Member (P) and the meeting took place in her office in the presence of JS (Admn) and US (Ad-IX) from the Official side. From the ITEF side Coms. Ashok B Salunkhe (President), KP Rajagopal (SG), Ravi B Nair, Yeshwant Purohit ( Joint Secretaries) and Rupak Sarkar (Finance Secretary) were present in the meeting.  ITGOA was represented by Coms. Sita Rama Rao (President), Rajesh Menon (Secretary General), R.S. Meel and Divakar Singh.    In the meeting the following issues only could be discussed.
  1. Implementation of Supreme Court Order in Union of India & ors vs. N.R. Parmar & ors. We demanded, as decided in the CWC meeting held at Jaipur on 19 & 20th Oct. 2013 the withdrawal of the instructions issued by the CBDT in F No. C-18012/26/2003-V&L dated 15th October 2013 and issuance of clear and unambiguous instructions to CCAs for implementation or otherwise in a uniform manner in all Charges and all cadres.  The Member (P) assured us that the said instruction will immediately be withdrawn.  We were also requested to provide inputs with regard to its implementation. 
  2.  Click here to view the said instruction
  3. 2.      Allocation of Cadre Restructuring Posts for effecting promotions in the month of December, 2013.  It was informed that the Sub-committee for Allocation of Posts and Jurisdiction has been asked to submit its report by 29th Nov. 2013 and the manner of its implementation can be discussed and worked out in the rescheduled QRM on 9th December, 2013 after discussion with the staff side.
  4. 3.      Stoppage of payment to Daily Paid/casual labours who are engaged and working in the Department continuously for years and withdrawal of the same. We have requested to withdraw the above instructions issued by the Board in this regard taking into account their long service in the Department; the assurances given by the Finance Minister to these workers to regularise the eligible candidates in the newly created posts of MTS and in the light of the stay granted by the Principal Bench of the CA Tribunal.  We were informed that all efforts were being made by the Board to help the casual labours but for the instructions of the DOPT.  We were also assured that if the Principal Bench of the CA Tribunal has stayed the operation, efforts will be made to implement the same in all cases.
Anomaly in pay fixation for Promotees and Direct Recruitees at entry stage.  As you are aware that this point, taken up  in the National Anomaly Committee was not accepted by the Government other than allowing stepping up of pay wherever possible.  Further the ITEF had separately taken up the issue of fixation of pay of Inspectors/AOs/PS, on the lines of clarification issued in the case of personnel in the CSS/CSSS (Central Secretariat Staff).  The same was turned down by the Department of Expenditure.  Upon the objections of the Accounting Department and directions to recover the alleged excess payments, we again persuaded  the CBDT to take up the matter with the DOE. The Board, with the approval of the Revenue Secretary resubmitted the proposal with additional inputs, sought the approval of the Department of Expenditure. Now the Department of Expenditure have conveyed their disagreement and turned down the claim for the second time.  On this issue, in similar circumstances, some other major organisations affiliated to the Confederation of CG Employees and Workers, are contemplating legal recourse.  Some organisations have already filed Petitions in the Principal Bench of CA Tribunal.  ITEF CHQ feels that we may also join or separately file similar Petitions in the Principal Bench of CA Tribunal.  Since the matter requires immediate steps, in order to take a formal decision, all the Secretariat Members and Circle General Secretaries are requested to convey their opinion in this matter by 30th November, 2013.  The opinion may be conveyed through SMS or Email in the following format to the CHQ to contemplate further necessary action in this matter.
“Legal Approach for Pay Fixation Benefit- “ YES” or “NO”.
Increase of Local Travel Expenses to Inspectors and Notice Servers. Our demand for increase in the quantum of reimbursement equivalent to the cost of 50 Ltr and 30 Ltrs of petrol to Inspectors and Notice Servers was accepted by the CBDT.  Additional inputs with regard to justification of our demand was provided to the authorities vide our letter No. N-1/O-2/12-15 Dated: 30th Sept.2013.  It is learnt that a reference has been made by the Board to all the cadre controlling authorities as to what should be the quantum of increase.  Copy of the above letter of ITEF is enclosed herewith.  The Circle General Secretaries are requested to air opinion in similar line, with the cadre controlling authorities and pursue the CCAs to send their views at the earliest."

To,
All the Chief Commissioners of Income Tax (CCA),

Sub:   Judgement of the Hon'ble Supreme Court dated 27.11.2012 in the case of UOI &
Ors.Vs. N.R. Parmar & Ors. -Reg.-

Sir/Madam,

I am directed to refer to the subject cited above and to state that the advice of DoPT is being sought on the decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Sh. Parmar. However, presently the DoPT has returned the file with the following advice:

"The DoR has sought our advice on the implications of the judgment of Supreme Court dated 27.11.2012 in the case of Sh. N.R. Farmer & Ors.. This department is already seized with this issue in the contact of the impact of Supreme Court judgment on the policy for determination of inter se seniority of direct recruit and promotee and consequent administrative action to be taken in consultation of DoLA. However, the impact of the judgment on the seniority of the officers of Income Tax Department has to be assessed and analyzed by the Department of Revenue and specific issues should be brought forward so as to enable DoPT to examine the same and give its comments. The comments of DoR would also facilitate a comprehensive examination/advice of the DoLA while considering the general policy file of DoPT. In this context, the advice of DoLA in the Para 24 of p-88/Notes is relevant. The department of Revenue may be advised to take necessary action accordingly."


The matter has now been referred to DGIT(HRD) for inputs on the above aspect.
2.         Further, it is to be informed that the interim advice of the DoPT communicated on a reference by the department for the DPC for the post of ACsIT, in DOR F.NO. 32013/2/2012 Ad VI/DoPT Dy. No. 11640/13/CR dated 06.03.2012, inter-alia states that

"The implementation or otherwise of decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court is being processed separately. As per the instructions on the subject, the administrative department can consider regular promotion on the basis of existing list circulated and finalized seniority list. However, the promotion of these Officers shall be subject to revision of the seniority list of Inspectors/ITOs, if any, while implementing the Hon'ble Supreme Court judgment in N.R. Parmar case.”

3.         In view of the above, I am directed to request that suitable steps may be taken to get the stay on promotions, if any, granted by various Tribunals, vacated on the ground of the instructions of the DoPT in OM No. 28027/9/99-Estt. (A) dated 01.05.2000, advice dated 06.03.2012 given by the DoPT(above) and also for the functional requirement of the Department.

Yours faithfully
