 INCOME TAX EMPLOYEES FEDERATION, MUMBAI CIRCLE
                                                                                                                                   Dated: 11.10.2018
Dear Comrades,

We have been pursuing various issues of concern to our members including promotions with the administration. Inspite of the stand of the Admn. that no promotion orders can be issued in any of the cadres in the light of the CAT order on implementing the Hon’ble Supreme Court decision in the case of M. Nagraj, we have been successful in ensuring that promotions orders are issued in all the cadres except ITO. Since the CAT decision is directly related to the ITO promotions and consequent developments at various stages including the latest decision of Hon’ble Supreme Court on the issue, the promotion was delayed. Even though we are of the considered opinion that nothing stops the admn. from giving ad-hoc promotions, the admn. has been dithering on the issue citing the contempt petition filed by some of the litigants.  When we met the Pr.CCIT it was assured that after taking opinion of ASG, the promotion will be issued shortly. However, it is nearly one month since the assurances were given but without any progress giving the impression that the admn. is simply buying time for reasons best known to them. In the circumstances we are left with no alternative but to embark upon agitational path on this issue.
Another important issue that is engaging our attention is the condition of the BKC office building where our members are working in constant threat to their life. Portions of the structrure are falling down frequently, endangering the lives of employees and officers. The admn. had claimed that funds have been given to CPWD and repair work is being carried out. However, no concrete improvement is visible. In the circumstances, the Federation cannot sit quite and allow a tragedy to happen. Hence, it has been decided to go on agitation  in BKC to demand shifting of the offices to the New BKC office building which is now ready to occupy. On every issue the Pr.CCIT wants us to find the solution making us to wonder as to who is the Pr.CCIT in Mumbai!

Along with the above two issues the following issues concerning our members are also awaiting for immediate action of the Income Tax administration in Mumbai:

1.            Promotion to the post of ITO &  Inspector.
2.         Disparity in vacancies in the cadre of TAs and Inspectors cadre for promotion.
3.      Space allotment for staff at new office project at BKC and immediate action on our letter dated     05.06.2017.
4.         Funds for Medical Reimbursement and Conveyance.
5.         Allotment of Office space for Income Tax Pensioners Association.
6.         Staff Quarters:            a)  Appointment  of caeretakers
                                                b)  Belapur –  Renovation and Roofing over the top.
                                                c)  Bhandup/Antop Hill – Renovation wherever required.
7.         MACP restoration in the case of OS/Steno Gr.I after clarification and reimbursement of the          recovery made.
8.         Bunching in the light of the DOPT order consequent to 7th CPC recommendations.
9.         Bus service from Bandra and Kurla station to BKC offices.
10.    Desktop computers to all employees for implementation of ITBA/HRMS/PFMS with mandatory        training to all.
11.       No outsourcing of departmental functions.
12.       Canteen Recruitment.
13.       Newly acquired office space at Vashi acquired from MTNL: ITEF may be taken in tom Confidence             while making necessary seating arrangement etc.
14.       Briefcase /office bag reimbursement may be extended to Sr.TA and OS also as similarly placed   officials in the Gr. Pay of Rs.4200/-are entitled to brief case reimbursement in other places.
15.       The Security of Income Tax department has been handed over to a new agency at a huge cost.    Earlier, as demanded by us only Ex-servicemen used to be deployed and they were doing a better             job. The performances of the new security guards are worse and a large amount of public             money is being wasted as the cost involved is much higher.                                                                                                                          
                        The Federation along with ITGOA, Mumbai has decided to embark on the following agitational programme in pursuance of the above demands:
  1)  15.10.2018      -           Mass demonstration and Walk-out at BKC
 2) 16.10.2018      -     Lunch-hour demonstration in front of Aayakar Bhavan and                                                                      Mass deputation to the Pr.CCIT.  Members of ITEF from BKC                                                                 will also be joining the protest.
  3)    17.10.2018      -            Half-day Walkout in all Income Tax Offices in Mumbai.
 4)    22.10.2018  -               Sustained agaitational programme the details
              onwards                    of which will be intimated in due course.

We call upon all our members to kindly ensure that all the agitational programmes are carried out in its totality which alone will bring about a solution to our issues. Further programmes of action, in case the issues are not sorted out by 22.10.2018, will be informed to you in due course. We are sure as in the past each and every one of you will stand united in the fight against injustice and discrimination being meted out to our members and have no doubt in your minds Comrades, the ultimate victory shall be ours!.

With greetings,

                                                                                                                        Yours fraternally,


                                                                             
                                                                                                                  Ravindran B Nair        
                                                                                                    General Secretary.
