Dear Comrade,
Sub :- Revival of the agitation since suspended
in support of important pending demands - matter regarding -
As decided in the Central JCA meeting, a
communication had earlier been sent on 31st July 2018 to the
Chairman, CBDT conveying that the suspension of the above stated agitation
programme would continue till 18th August .2018, purely on the basis of the
assurances received from him as well as from the then Member(Admn), CBDT. The
Central JCA thereafter pursued the issues with the concerned authorities on
regular basis and met the newly appointed Member (Admn.) on almost every
alternate working day. The assurances given by the concerned authorities as
well as the Member (Admn.), CBDT during the day to day persuasion were
discussed in the Central JCA and the suspension of agitation was extended
accordingly beyond the date communicated to the Board, expecting the positive
outcome. The developments were also duly communicatedto the JCA members.
But we have dismayed to observe that even the
direction and the assurances from the highest level of the CBDT have failed to
yield any fruitful result in case of almost all of the pending issues of the
charter of demands. Whatever little progress taken place has been clearly
detrimental to the interest of our members.
In such a
scenario, the Central JCA cannot remain mute spectator and allow the authority
to take the restraint exercised or cooperation extended by us as granted. The Central
JCA earlier authorized its joint convenors to review the situation from time to
time and take appropriate call considering all aspects. Accordingly, progress
made so far against each of the demands and the prevailing position have been
reviewed. Some other issues of primary importance emerged later have also been
considered.
After the careful
consideration, it is decided that the suspended agitation programme is required
to be revived and as a first move, the members of Central JCA will not participate
any Survey including TDS Survey/Spot Verification and Search & Seizure
operation from 1st December 2018,
unless the following pending issues are resolved immediately:
1) Constitution of the Cadre Review
Committee.
2)
Recruitment Rules of EA and ITI may be put on
hold till the next Cadre Review as per discussion held with the then
Member(Admin), CBDT with the JCA.
3)
Relaxation for promotion to the posts of
TA/Sr.TA/Steno Gr.II (erstwhile) in existing RR due to huge vacancies in
promotion quota and change of crucial date of eligibility from 1st April to 1st January as Per
DoPT’s Order.
4)
Regularisation of 2014-15 batch of promote ad-hoc
ACIT and their timely promotion DCIT w.e.f 01.01.2019 including the left over
officers of 2013 and earlier batches.
5)
Grant pay parity of Inspector & ITO with the
IB/CBI and upgradation of pay of Tax Assistant to Rs.2800 as per CSS/Organized
Accounts Service through Departmental Anomaly Committee.
It is therefore appealed to all JCA members to
participate in the revived agitation programme to make it successful in such a
manner that the authority shall be compelled to take note and resolve the
issues at the earliest. The decision of revival of the agitation has already
been communicated to the Chairman. CBDT and the Member (Admn.), CBDT.
All jointconvenors ofstate JCA are requested to
submit a copy of letter addressed to the Chairman CBDT to the respective Pr.
CCsIT/DGsIT(Inv) for information and necessary action. A campaign programme is
also requiredamongst the members particularly posted in
Investigation/Assessment charges. Kindly do the needful for successfully
implementation of the above mentioned programme.
With revolutionary greetings,
Comradely yours,
(AmitavaDey) (RupakSarkar)

Convenors
