ITGOA submitted memorandum to Revenue Secy. on allocation of posts and various other issues

ITGOA submitted a detailed memorandum to Revenue Secretary regarding grievances regarding allcation of posts, extra ordinary delay to ACIT promotion, transfer policy etc. Mention to the reduction of posts from West Bengal region is described as " Also the allocation suggested drastic reduction of posts in the West Bengal Charge in all cadres i.e instead of allocating new additional posts the existing posts were also curtailed. On this issue we are of the opinion that the Board had deviated from the principle of Cadre-restructuring and also from the assurances given to us. Accordingly, we would like to request your honour to revisit the principle on which the posts were allocated by the Board and to set right the injustices committed to the charges where the existing strength was reduced."
ITGOA also issued a circular to members detailing current scenario including the much awaited ITO to ACIT promotion.
A meeting of JCA has been convened on 4th May 2014 to discuss and find out next course of action.
