Pr CCIT Delhi issued Adhoc ITO promotion order

For the last few days, after the adhoc ACIT promotion, we have been flooded with queries regarding adhoc ITO promotion. Viewers were anxious to know whether adhoc promotion will be granted for the consequential adhoc vacancies in the ITO cadre.
Pr CCIT, Delhi stood first to grant adhoc promotion to the post of ITO today. As many as 12 Inspectors have been promoted to ITO on adhoc basis.
It may be expected that other regions will come out with similar promotion order at the earliest.

ITGOA expects Adhoc ACIT promotion order today (07/04/2016)

Under intense pressure from different corner of the country ITGOA compelled to apprise the members about promotion order, future DPC etc.
As per the communication from ITGOA dated 06th April 2016, Promotion order likely to be issued today, 7th April and DPC for Adhoc promotion for vacancy year 2015-16 may be conducted on 21 or 22nd April 2016.
Full text of the ITGOA communication is as under.
"The DPC for the ad‐hoc promotion to the cadre of ACIT, for 200 vacancies against the R.Y. 2014‐15, was held on 31‐03‐2016. The promotion order (ad‐hoc) is expected to be passed on 07‐04‐2016. It has already been intimated through the Circular no. 03 of ITGOA, dated 31‐03‐2016, that the Ad‐hoc DPC for 200 vacancies against the R.Y. 2015‐16 will be convened by the CBDT shortly, if the deficiencies in APARs can be removed by then. The deficiency list of 116 officers was uploaded on 30‐03‐2016. All the Units of ITGOA were requested to remove the deficiencies by 05‐04‐2016 and send the requisite documents to the Board. It was also requested to all the Unit leadership to send the documents positively through messenger and not by post to save time and help the ad‐hoc DPC for the R.Y. 2015‐16 to be held as soon as possible. It has been decided that the DPC for the ad‐hoc promotion in ACIT against the 200 vacancies of the R.Y. 2015‐16 will be held on 21/22‐04‐2016 by the CBDT but unfortunately, only a few Units have complied with completing the deficient APARs till date and 95 cases out of 116 deficient APARs are still pending. It is to state that if we can’t pursue the local authorities to send all the APARs removing deficiencies, as per the list, to the CBDT by 12‐04‐2016, the DPC for the ad‐hoc promotion will not be possible to be held on 21/22‐04‐2016. Also, the Units must ensure that the replies/complete APARs sent by them are accepted by the concerned Directorate of the CBDT and no further queries are made. Further, I do request the members of CHQ once again to make themselves available at Delhi right from tomorrow, on rotation, to help preparing the proposal for the ad‐hoc DPC or otherwise, the said DPC will be delayed indefinitely."  

Still no update on adhoc promotion, members are furious

We regret to inform you that even today, in the evening of 6th April, no update available about Adhoc promotion order to the post of ACIT.
The promotion aspirants of the vacancy year 2014-15 are totally frustrated and shattered. ITGOA expected the order on 4th April but even after 48 hours of the deadline they did not bother to inform the members about any recent development.
In the meantime rumours are spreading everywhere. Some people are talking about stay order in Principal CAT but no such order could be traced so far. Some are blaming the F.M. for not signing the required approval. Some of the members are blaming the red-tapism/procedural delay.
It should be the moral responsibility of ITGOA to tell the truth and that too without any delay.

ITO to ACIT : Adhoc promotion ?

It is widely discussed in different corners of ITGOA leadership that CBDT is likely to proceed for adhoc promotion of 200 ITOs of the 2014-15 vacancy year within the current financial year.
The DPC proposal sent to UPSC earlier has reportedly been reverted back with objections relating to seniority issues as per NRP implementation. UPSC is not likely to hold regular DPC unless NRP is implemented uniformly all over the country.
Board may grant ad hoc promotion of 200 ITOs within 31st March 2016. Question arises will the vacancies likely to be created against the adhoc promotion will be filled in with adhoc promotion in the lower rank ?
Stay tuned for latest update, if any !
Most urgent.
CBDT uploaded updated deficiency list of ITOs for the panel year 2015-16 and asked all Pr CCIts to remove the deficiencies as per latest UPSC guideline.

Congratulation to the new JCITs !

Is the Dept. being run by IRS officers only ?

All the information, instructions,circulars etc. are being communicated by departmental portal http://www.irsofficersonline.gov.in/. It is most unfortunate that only the IRS officers are authorized to view it's content with user id and password.
CBDT regularly issues circular and instructions for the assessing officers (most of them are ITOs) and expects compliance. Leave alone Group C workforce, even the assessing officers are not authorized to use the portal. Needless to mention that no classified or secret document is published in this portal which may need restricted usage.
This is sheer derogatory to each and every non IRS employees in the department.  JCA did not take the matter seriously ever. Despite writing a few routine letters to CBDT, they did not really take up the issue.
Therefore, we on behalf of each and every non IRS employee of the Income Tax Department demand immediate access to www.irsofficersonline.gov.in.

CBDT directed all regions to conduct DPC for the vacancy year 2016-17

CBDT directed all cadre controlling Pr CCITs to conduct DPC for Group B & C posts for the vacancy year 2016+17. As the new recruitment rule of Executive Assistants is yet to be notified and as per CBDT, it will likely to take some more time, DPCs to be done as per old RRs of Sr.T.A./O.S./Stg Gr I.

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 ?
