No headway in meeting with Member(P), Addl CITs promoted to CIT

As per news available with us, the meeting of Member (P) with JCA leaders could not bring any positive result regarding the charter of demands, or more specifically, the issue of promotion from ITO to ACIT could not be resolved.

It may be predicted that the ongoing agitation programme is going to be intensified with non participation of search and seizure, survey action.
Though ITOs are not being promoted even in 14 years, CBDT today came out with a promotion order for Addl CITs. As many as 171 Addl CITs have been promoted to the cadre of Commissioners of Income Tax today.

Final All India Inter-se Seniority List of ITOs as on 01.01.2012 published

One step forward towards ACIT promotion ?
CBDT circulated all India  Seniority List of ITOs as on 01.01.2012. As viewers are aware that as per CAT Ernakulam bench stay order, ITO to ACIT promotion had to be effected only after preparing of revised seniority list of ITOs. So one of the major constraint has been removed. Now the other difficulty is about calculation of exact number of available vacancies which has not been worked out yet and JCA is pursuing the matter and called for agitational programme. In the mean time number of petitions are being filed regarding seniority fixation as per NRP. Let's see whether CBDT promotes the ITOs as on adhoc basic or regular promotion can be exercised.
