Revenue collection in West Bengal to be hit due to I-T staff crunch : Media News

The process of augmenting revenue collection in the state will suffer a major set back as the existing staff  strength of income tax officers in Kolkata Zone is low, said the Joint Council of Action of Income Tax Association, an amalgamation of two unions ~ Income Tax Gazetted Officers Association (ITGOA) and Income Tax Employees Federation (ITEF).
Officers from the ITGOA today in a programme said that as per the new cadre restructuring in the income tax department, the Central Board of Direct Taxes allotted additional 20,751 staff members, including officers, to 18 regions across the country, while the Kolkata circle is getting none of the staff members. 
Kolkata Zone has a present strength of around 7,100, among which 1,633 members, including officers, will be transferred to other zones. This will affect the collection of revenues. West Bengal, Sikkim and Andaman falls under this zone.
 In the last financial year around 25,000 crore in direct taxes was collected from Kolkata zone.
Mr Bhaskar Bhattacharya, All India General Secretary of ITGOA, said that the new cadre restructuring has deprived Kolkata zone in allotting the new officers. 
"The new restructuring of cadre will affect the revenue collection in West Bengal. The zones which have maximum number of staff strength are Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Bangalore. As a result, West Bengal will be denied the Central grants in the sectors like health, education and infrastructure development if the state sees low collection of direct taxes. The disparity in the cadre distribution happens because some senior officers including some of the Indian Revenue Services prefer to be posted in major cities," Mr Bhattacharya said.

Diversion of posts from WB region, again.

West Bengal to loose more posts
It is learnt that more posts are going out from West Bengal region in the next three years. The detailed roadmap for cadre restructuring consists divertion of more than 1600 posts to different regions including Ahmedabad, Bangalore etc. This include posts of different cadres.  A communication in this regard reached Pr CCIT, WB & Sikkim office yesterday. A total number of 17 ITO posts are going to be diverted to other regions in a phased manner. In the first year 9 posts are going out and so on. Also a number of Executive Assistant and other posts are set to be diverted in the next three years. Details of this diversion is not available with us right now. It will be informed soon.
It is really an irony of fate that when WB JCA is on agitation demanding more posts for their region, CBDT is taking away posts from this already deprived region.
