Operational Vehicles : Used for which operation ?

One of our viewers asked this question of course with a request of anonymity.
Let’s have a quick look about the scheme and actual use of operational vehicles in Income Tax Department, perhaps the same in every other central department.
Operational vehicles have been introduced in this department for smooth departmental operation. Instead of buying new cars and bearing responsibility of recruiting staff car drivers, hired cars without any recurring liability had been preferred by Govt. Each vehicle is being taken on rent at the cost of Rs 40,000/- plus service tax as applicable (including the cost of driver). Each and every CIT charge is allotted 2 to 4 operational vehicles. The fund is diverted from the 1% incentive scheme. The question is what purpose the cars actually serve. It is being used for private purposes of the officers of the department. It is mostly used to carry the officers (who are not entitled to get the facility) from their residence to office and back. It is also being used for other necessary operations like bringing their children to school / college, shopping for the family members and to meet other important household obligations. Those officers using the car are also enjoying Transport Allowance as per rules (not less than Rs 6400/- p.m. including D.A. thereon). It is rarely seen that any employee of the department have been allowed to do any official outdoor duty with these vehicles.
It is not surprising that IRS Association and ITGOA had never said anything on records against this practice as their members are the beneficiary of this privilege. But ITEF leaders who do not get this facility widely are also mum on this issue for some unknown reason. Solidarity for their elder brothers of ITGOA may be a possible reason.

When the Government is on austerity measure and cutting non plan expenditures, will somebody look into this drainage of money for gain of a handful of officers?

Recruitment Rules for the grades of OS. Sr. TA & Steno (Gr. I (which would merge into the single cadre of Executive Assistant upon notification of the Recruitment Rules for the latter) may
be utilized by DPCs. In other words. DPCs for promotion of Sr TA to OS. TA to.Sr TA & Steno Gr II (erstwhile Steno Grade III) to Steno Gr. 1 are to be conducted. For the limited purpose of
quantifying vacancies for conducting DPCs, the number of posts notified for the EA grade may be further trifurcated in each CCA region among OS/Sr. TA/Steno Gr. I in the same ratio as the
pre-restructuring number of sanctioned posts in these grades. "
The DPCs may kindly be conducted by 21.12.2014 in all cadre controlling Regions.

ITEF, Central HQ recently issued circular regarding pending issues of the department including RRs, filling up of posts, Laptop to Inspectors etc. Important points discussed with new chairperson and intimated to members as under.
Filling up of Post of RY 2014-15.
On the basis of imputs that the DoPT may require more time to consider and approve the RRs of various cadres in the Department and the rider attached to the instant instructions on the matter, it was decided to go with the existing Recruitment Rules for all the cadres for filling up of vacancies for the Rect. Year 2014-15.  It was also decided to move separately to the Competent Authorities to get relaxation for filling up the posts in the Inspectors cadre lying vacant for want of candidates in one of the two categories by considering the candidates in the other category.   The instructions for holding DPC meetings and effecting promotions on the above lines will be issued shortly.
Deptl. Examination Results.
The declaration of results of the Departmental Examination for Inspectors is likely to be delayed till December, 2014 due to some technical problem in the answer papers of Delhi Region.

Still pending with Dept. of Expenditure - "We have also been informed that the IFU (Dept. Of Revenue) after returning the files quite a number of times for clarification etc. has finally approved the two proposals viz.

Officers and staff of the department to maintain cleanliness and punctuality strictly

"Cabinet Secretary in his recent directives to Revenue Secretary has emphasised that cleanliness of work areas and improvement in the over-all ambience of office buildings as also punctuality on the part of the officials should be reviewed on sustained basis so that there is a visible improvement and that there are no report of slippages in this regard,'"
"The importance of clean and tidy office which gives an air of efficiency and observance of punctuality which is essential for maintenance of office decorum and discipline needs hardly be emphasised. Accordingly, the following instructions are brought to the notice of all Cadre Controlling Principal CCsIT and the offices under their jurisdictions for information and compliance and to help them to discharge their responsibilities in a more effective and efficient manner: "
"All the officers and staff working in offices under cadre control of Pr.CCsIT should strictly observe the prescribed office timings. It should be ensured that they do not overstay the lunch break and leave offices early before closing of office hours. No amount of external efforts can bring about improvements in punctuality of the officials on sustained basis unless Heads of Departments themselves take a personal interest in the same and observe the prescribed office hours. Therefore, all HODS may be instructed to conduct regular ,unannounced and surprise punctuality checks alongwith checking of attendance registers of the offices to see that the officials are observing office hours meticulously. Habitual latecomers may also be warned to mend their ways failing which disciplinary action may be taken against them. "

Delhi JCA's agitation programme gets immediate attention, but WB's agitation ?

It seems the Delhi Circle JCA's agitation programme effected the Board. The CBDT in the last week has constituted a four members committee to examine the demands of Income Tax Employees regarding recruitment and promotion issue. The committee headed by Jt. Secretary(Admin), Finance Ministry, Shri S. K. Lohani will submit its reports by July 18 and on the basis of the committee’s recommendation the CBDT will take a call regarding long pending demands of the employees.


In the other hand, JCA West Bengal unit is organizing non cooperation movement including non submission of statistical reports, non participation of search and survey etc. for more than three months but CBDT seems to be not bothered at all. Surprisingly the All India Secretary General of ITGOA is from West Bengal but could not create any impression on CBDT on any issue including national issue as ACIT promotion or local issue of unjustified cadre allocation in his own state.

ITEF works out formula for diversion of posts to deprived circles

ITEF Central Hqr. issued a circular today regarding various issues including filling up or additional posts, Recruitment Rules, 
diversion of posts, memorandum to 7th CPC etc.
Following are the salient features :
Cadre Restructuring and filling up of posts.
"We hope by this time in all Circles the process of filling up of Addtiionaly allotted posts of Cadre Restructuring including consequential vacancies for the RY 2013-14 in the cadres of Group B & C would have taken place.  In any Charge, if this has not been completed or only partly done, the same may be intimated to the CHQ with reasons for the delay for taking up the matter with the Board for further necessary instructions.  As informed in the CWC meeting held on 1st June, 2014, the RRs for all group B & C cadres have been finalized and submitted to the Secretary (Revenue)for approval.  The same will be submitted to the Department of Personnel for its approval.  The CHQ is pursuing the matter for its early clearance.  The instructions for conducting the DPCs for the RY 2014-15 will be issued only after approval of the RR.  In the event of delay in getting the RRs approved, alternative ways will be explored for filling up of the posts for RY 2014-15."
Diversion of Cadre Restructuring posts.
A formula has been prepared to divert some posts to deficient circles. As per the formula, only 18 posts of ITO and 170 posts of Inspectors may be diverted from one charge to another. (It may be mentioned that while CBDT did not consider ITEF proposal before allocation of posts, it is really surprising that the leaders expect that CBDT will dance in their tune now !)

Central JCA submitted 11 point charter of demand

Update : Kolkata issued Inspector Promotion Order on 10.06.2014.
Download the Order
"The Central JCA, in its meeting held on 02-06-2014 at New Delhi thread-barely discussed the issues/ problems remaining unresolved at the apex level for a long time and it appears that no sincere or discernible efforts have been taken by the Board to resolve these issues. The meeting further took stock of the situation in view of such long pending issues and rising resentment among the rank and file of its members. The meeting, therefore, chalked out an 11-point charter of demands concerning the welfare and career of its members for their immediate settlement by the Board to avoid any future industrial unrest in the Department. The said charter of demand is enclosed with this letter with the expectation that the Chairman, will sincerely address the issues on a priority basis within a reasonable period of time so as to avoid unpleasant situation in the department.

DOPT's CLARIFICATION ON PARMAR CASE IMPLEMENTATION

The DOPT in its reply to the CBDT, which has sought clarificaiton on interpretation of the provisions of DOPT OM dated 4-3-2014, It is stated that,
  •  it would not be feasible/desirablrt to give generalized opinon in respect of pending  court cases, as every case would have to be dealt with in its own context, while applying the provisions of laid down policy. However basing on the general observations of DOPTs OM dated 4-3-2014, the provisions of the OM dated 7.2.86/3.7.86  remain applicable till 27-11-2012. 
  • The cases of seniority which have been settled based on the available/implied interpretaton of OM dated 7.2.86/3.7.86 NEED NOT BE SUO MOTO REVISITED as it would unsettle the cadre dynamics.
  •  "IN THE SPECIFIC CONTEXT OF INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT, WHEREIN THE INTER-SE SENIORITY OF DIRECT RECRUITS AND PROMOTEES HAVE BEEN UNDER DISPUTE ON GROUNDS OF MIS-INTERPRETATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE OM DATED 7.2.86/3.7.86 AND HAS LED TO PARMAR JUDGEMENT OF SUPREME COURT, IT IS UNAMBIGUOUSLY CONFIRMED THAT THE INTIRE ISSUE OF SENIORITY OF THE OFFICERS OF INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT WOULD HAVE TO BE REVISTED IN COMPLIANCE OF THE JUDGEMENT OF THE SUPREME COURT."

Message from ITEF on ITO promotion

PROMOTION TO THE CADRE OF ITOs OUT OF CR POSTS.

NWR also filled up restructuring posts by way of promotion to 102 Inspectors to the cadre of ITO.

"Dear Comrades, We have been trying to get instructions issued by the Board to have a common DPC Meeting date for Income Tax Officers promotion as in 2001.  Before such instructions could be issued, the Pr. CCIT, Kanpur Region has held DPC meeting and effected promotion to the post of Income Tax Officers.  No need to wait for any instructions from the Board in the matter of promotion to the post of ITOs."  SG, ITEF.
It may be expected that all other charges who are free from any judicial stay on promotion should follow the Kanpur and Chennai path and issue promotion orders at an early date. 
And of course West Bengal employees to keep on congratulating others as they did not get even a single ITO post out of nearly 1500 new posts !
