N.R Parmar effect : Nine inspectors reverted in West Bengal charge

West Bengal and Sikkim charge has reverted as many as nine Inspectors of Income Tax as per review DPC held in pursuance of N.R Parmar case. 
A number of ITOs are likely to be reverted in this charge as per revised seniority list drawn in case of Inspectors of Income Tax as per NRP effect. ITGOA is trying it's level best to defer the reversion as long as possible so that promotion from ITO to ACIT takes place and this likely to be reverted ITOs can be placed in the liely to be created vacancies.
The question is why the same effort could not be exercised by the ITEF to save these Inspectors ?

Click here for the letter to Rev. Secy. dtd. 03.03.16
"The promotion from ITO to ACIT for the R.Y. 2014‐15 requires to be held immediately. All out efforts are being made to complete the process immediately. The CHQ appealed to all its members vide Circular No. 01, dated 25‐01‐2016, to be restrained from asking for the stay on DPC in the Court of Law, but some of our members choose otherwise. The ITGOA impressed the CBDT that as recasting of seniority after the implementation of NRP Judgment would take some more time, as evident from the status of correct implementation of the Advisory issued by the CBDT in various charges, and as the Hon’ble FM, GOI, had approved the promotion of all ITOS upto 2003‐04 by the 31‐03‐2016, the promotion in the cadre of ACIT for the R.Y.s 2014‐15, 2015‐16 & 2016‐17 is to be held on the basis of the existing Seniority List subject to any revision of seniority as per the implementation of NRP verdict of the Hon’ble Supreme Court. The Hon’ble Revenue Secretary, GOI, was also appraised of the issue by the Central JCA, vide its letter dated 03‐02‐2016 (the copy of the letter is attached herewith), requesting him to intervene and impress upon the UPSC for speedy disposal of all the 3(three) DPCs within the timeline fixed by the Hon’ble FM, GOI.             In the mean time, the CAT, Pr. Bench, directed to intimate the Court before any step towards promotion from ITO to ACIT and accordingly, the CBDT has filed an affidavit before the Hon’ble Bench. Moreover, the UPSC had forwarded a final deficiency list in regard to the proposal of R.Y. 2014‐15 to the CBDT. As almost all the deficiencies are to be replied by the CBDT itself and the concerned Sections/Directorates are working on it, 7(seven) deficient APARs (as attached along with) are yet to be collected from 4 regions which are being forwarded to the respective Pr. CCsIT and the Presidents/General Secretaries of ITGOA in those regions are putting all efforts to complete the deficiencies and send it to the CBDT.  But unfortunately, as the corrected APARs in these 7(seven) cases are sent to the CBDT by post only instead of special messenger, we tend to lose some precious days/time before submitting the same to the UPSC.    
 The promotion from ITO to ACIT for the R.Y. 2015‐16 has to be done immediately and as per the request of the CHQ, the Chairman, CBDT, had directed the DIT (PP, PR & OL) to prepare the grading of the officers in the consideration zone of the said proposal. But after many efforts, 38 deficiencies still exist which are required to be removed to prepare the proposal for DPC of R.Y. 2015‐16 (the list, as updated on 02‐03‐2016, is attached herewith). All the Units are requested to remove the deficiencies immediately to help to prepare the proposal for the DPC."
