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

Secretary.
