Dear Comrades,

Sub: Meeting with Member Personnel on 16th and 17th January, 2014 on Cadre Restructuring-

As intimated in our last circular a meeting was convened by the Member (P&V),CBDT with the representatives of ITEF and ITGOA on 16th and 17th January, 2014 to discuss the report of the Core Committee on allocation of posts. The meeting was chaired by Ms. Deepak Krishan, Member (P&V) and attended by Shri S.K. Lohani’JS (Admn), Shri Debjyoti Das, Director of IT (HRD) and Ms. Swati Joshi, Addl. DIT(HRD) from the Official side. Following ITEF representatives presented our views on various issues. Coms. Ashok B Salunkhe (President), KP Rajagopal (Secy. General), Ashok Kr. Kanojia (Addl. Secy), Raveendran B Nair, Yashwant Purohit (Jt. Secretaries) & Rupak Sarkar (Finance Secretary. The discussion mainly cantered around the different yardsticks adopted by the Sub-Committee No. 1 and core committee and that of the ITEF. Further the stand taken by the Sub-Committee to consider the entire sanctioned strength (Existing SS and Addl. Post sanctioned by the Government) for determining the allocation. Thirdly, the modification carried out by the Core Committee. There was unanimity in both sides that the decision of the Union Cabinet and mandate of the Sub-committee and Core Committee were only with regard to the additionally sanctioned post. Though the broad yardsticks adopted by ITEF and the Official Committee were similar viz. Work load, Revenue Collection, Stagnation and Geographical area, the percentage and basis adopted to formulate the entitlement were different. The representatives also put forth to the authorities that we are inclined to have minor adjustments in the percentage adopted if the authorities divulge their stand, and ready to work out the allocation after carrying out required adjustments with regard to major changes taken place after the 2001 cadre restructuring. We have also emphasised our stands with regard to the Directorates of Delhi, Shifting CIT Charge of Haldwani, CCA for Chhattisgarh, abnormal stagnation in certain charges etc. The meeting was concluded with the assurances of the Member (P&V) to discuss the outcome in the Board meeting and reverting back to us at the earliest. From the nature and outcome of the discussion, we hope that sooner than later an understanding can be arrived in the matter and the process of allocation started without further delay. Undoubtedly the allocation of posts is not the only issue requiring urgent action and immediate resolution by the authorities. The issues like Clear cut instruction as to how the Inter-se seniority is to be fixed as per Supreme Court order, Reversal of the instructions on Casual Labours, Implementation of already approved projects like lap tops to Inspectors, Increased Local Travel expenses to ITI/NS, Mobile handsets, Incremental benefit on promotion, advance increment to STA/Stgr., 6 Air-conditioners per range for staff etc.etc. are still pending. It is in this background the extended Secretariat Meeting arrived at the decision to step into the path of agitation. Therefore, all the Circles are requested to carry out the programme of agitation outlined in the Circular No. 37 dated 14.01.2014 from 21st February, 2014.

Nationwide two day strike by Central Govt. Employees.

As intimated, the Central Govt. Employees are embarking on a two day strike on 12th and 13th February, 2014 on the call of the Confederation of Central Govt. Employees and Workers. The extended Secretariat Meeting of the ITEF on 13.01.2014 decided to call upon all circles to make the strike in Income Tax Department a total success and to put all efforts for the same. The importance of the time selected for the action and issues on which the employees are going on strike need no emphasis, yet these have been detailed in our Circular No. 27 and the Circular of the Confederation enclosed therewith. Further, the Resolution adopted in the National Executive Meeting of the Confederation and the Press Statement issued are also enclosed herewith to enable you a proper and effective campaign. All Circles are requested to put all their efforts for campaign and mobilisation by educating the mass on the significance of the strike and the need to make it glorious. Confederation has put the model Poster in its website (www.confederationhq.blogspot.com) to be used on this occasion. The Circles either under State COCs or independently make wide publicity about the two day strike. The ITEF CHQ (on the Central Board of Direct Taxes) and all other affiliated organisations (on the Departmental Heads), will serve the strike notice on 21st January 2014, as decided by the Confederation. All Circle General Secretaries are requested to intimate their respective Cadre Controlling Authorities about the strike on the same day after a general meeting/demonstration during lunch recess. The copy of the strike notice which CHQ will be serving on the CBDT and model intimation letter to the CCAs are enclosed.

With greetings,

Yours fraternally,

KP Rajagopal

    The call for strike by ITEF will not work anymore, the members (ministerial cadres) know your vested interests and notorious APATHY towards the problems of ministerial cadres.
