JOINT COUNCIL OF ACTION___________________ Circle/Branch.            This meeting of the members of the Joint Council of Action of _____________ unit/branch, held today, the 12th July, 2012, expresses deep concern over the dilly dallying and insensitive attitude of the Chairman, Central Board of Direct Taxes, New Delhi towards the genuine and long pending issues concerning the Promotee Officers and Staff of this Department.  The members of the JCA which consists 95% of the personnel in the Department are totally discontented with the discarding of the established negotiating mechanism and not holding meaningful discussions by the authorities with the JCA to settle the issues.  The members are also aggrieved with the authorities for bringing about a situation in the Department forcing the members to tread the path of agitation.  The meeting therefore, seeks the immediate intervention by the good offices of the Revenue Secretary and issuance of suitable and urgent instructions to the Chairman, CBDT to hold meaningful discussion and settlement of our long pending issues.  The meeting also requests the

Revenue Secretary to direct the Chairman, CBDT to set up a Permanent Grievance Redressal Forum in the Department to avoid discontentment of the Officers and Staff and to bring about a permanent industrially peaceful functional atmosphere in the Department.

No. M-12/2012-15                                                                               Dated: 26th June 2012.ToThe Chairman,Central Board of Direct Taxes,North Block, New Delhi.Sir,Sub: Delay in settlement of our pending issues- Discontentment

of members of JCA-Reg.            After our nationwide agitation and innumerable requests, your goodself convened the much delayed and long awaited review meeting, on 30th May, 2012.  The outcome of the meeting on most of the issues was not positive.  Even the progress of implementation on the issues agreed upon by the predecessors in office was neither properly reviewed nor any directions were given to the concerned Directorates to speed up the implementation.   On other issues also the outcome was not positive in as much as no time-bound action or firm assurances were laid out.   Our request for another meeting in a month’s time, as also to set-up a permanent machinery for redressal of our issues were also turned down by your goodself.  The only assurance firmly spelt out in the meeting was the early approval and communication of the minutes of the meeting, that too on our request.  But even on our personal request to the Chairman on 18th June, 2012, progress in this regard also, is not visible.  The said meeting, was therefore, had to be characterized as a blow to the legitimate expectation of the 95% personnel in the Department. 

            In the meanwhile, the following three issues have cropped-up which has caused great consternation amongst our members :

1. Cancellation of 1 weeks International Attachment to around 160 Promotee ACITs undergoing training at NADT citing Govt.’s austerity

measures, while 40 Addl. CsIT and 40 CsIT are being sent to USA under Advanced Mid-career training program.

2. Surreptitious manner of amending the IRS Rules 1988 for introducing ‘Year of Induction’ as distinct from ‘Year of Promotion’. This issue was discussed in great length the meeting of 30-5-2012 when it was decided that the HRD will call-back the file from the Office of MOS (Finance) and discussion will be held with ITGOA & JCA before taking any final decision. But till date nothing has been heard from the Board.

3. Prospective promotion to the grade of DCIT of 2006 batch officers thereby denying them pay relating to DCIT from 1-1-2011 to June 2012 and causing consequent delay in their future promotion to the grade of JCIT. This new action is not consistent with promotion granted till the year 2010 and is therefore discriminatory. The Officers are made to suffer for the delay in promotion which is purely on account of inaction of the Board. 

            The Central JCA, met at New Delhi on 25th June, 2012  to take stock of the situation especially in the above background. The discontentment of the members in general, which is growing day by day due to their sufferings  and non-settlement of the issues  concerned with their carrier progression, legitimate financial benefit etc. were discussed.  The Meeting also took note of the absolute apathy on the part of the Board and Administration and was constrained to take the decision to revive the suspended agitation.  The meeting therefore has unanimously, decided to embark upon following agitationalprogramme with immediate effect :

1. On 12th July, 2012- Lunch hour demonstration in all CCIT and CIT stations and adopting of resolution seeking the intervention of the Revenue Secretary in the matter.

2. From 13th July 2012- Non-preparation and Non-submission of Statistical reports to any higher authorities followed by Black Flag Demonstration whenever the Chairman or Member (P&V) visit any station or office.

3. On 19th July, 2012 -Half day walk-out from office after lunch recess as a mark of protest.

4. On 30th& 31st July 2012, Black Badge wearing at work place in protest against the attitude of the Authorities.

5. From Ist August, 2012- Apart from not sending statistical reports, desisting from working beyond office hours and on holidays, Not allowing outsiders to work in office.

6. On 23rd August, 2012- Walk out from office  for the whole day.We therefore painfully communicate to your goodself, the above decision taken in the Central JCA meeting.   Notwithstanding the above decisions and desire of the personnel in the Department to embark upon on the agitation, we request you to convene a meaningful meeting before the start of the agitation to avoid unnecessary disturbances in the functioning of the Department, which will be solely on the CBDT authorities for bringing about such a situation by not settling the long pending demands of the employees and officers.

Yours faithfully,                                                                           sd/                                sd/

Cir No. M-12/2012-15                                                                         Dated: 26th June 2012. 

Dear Comrades, 

            This has reference to JCA Circular dated 1st June 2012, where in we have communicated the out come of the much awaited meeting with the Chairman, CBDT held on 30th May, 2012.  We have informed in the said circular that the outcome of the  meeting was a disappointing one in as much as time-bound action or assurances or review of the earlier assurances was not laid out. The Central JCA met at New Delhi on 25th June 2012 to review the situation.  The meeting took serious note of the dilly-dallying attitude of the Chairman, CBDT even in providing the minutes of the said meeting.  In the interregnum, it has also come to the notice of the JCA the retrograde steps taken by the authorities in the matters of the  Recruitment Rules of IRS Officers wherein the concept of ‘Year of Induction’ as distinct from ‘Year of Promotion’ is sought to be brought in forPromotee Officers. The sole purpose of this is to prevent further promotions to Promotee Officers vis-à-vis Direct Recruits.  Further the delay on the part of the CBDT in effecting the promotion to the cadre of DCIT in time and effecting the same with the date of assumption for the 2006 batch officers has resulted in denial of the pay of DCIT from 1-1-2011 (the day when these officers

were due to promoted as DCIT) to June 2012. Further, the future promotion to the grade of JCIT is also hampered for these officers because the qualifying service for that promotion is 5 years DCIT. Till the year 2010, this promotion was give with retrospective effect and thus the officers of 2006 and 2007 batch have been discriminated upon for no fault of theirs. Further the CBDT has gone back from the assurance given to the Promotee ACITs while nominating them for the long training in the NADT, Nagpur and has unilaterally cancelled the international attachment of 1 week citing Govt.’s austerity measures, even while sending 80 AddlCsIT&CsIT for 2 weeks to USA on Advanced Mid-career training.This is a blatant discrimination and double speak by the Board and DGIT (NADT)            In view of the above the central JCA was of the unanimous opinion that we should embark upon serious agitation to bring sensitivity to the Chairman, CBDT which alone will desist him from back-tracking from the assurances and take serious steps to settle our long pending issues.  The Central JCA has decided to observe the following programmes of agitation, which has also been communicated to the Chairman, CBDT in our letter of even date.

Program  of  Action

1. On 12th July, 2012- Lunch hour demonstration in all CCIT and CIT stations and adopting of resolution seeking the intervention of the Revenue Secretary in the matter.(The text of the resolution will be communicated separately).

2. From 13th July 2012- Non-preperation and non- submission of Statistical reports to any higher authorities followed by Black Flag Demonstration whenever the Chairman or Member (P&V) visit any station or office.

3. On 19.the July, 2012 -Half day walk-out from office after lunch recess as a mark of protest.

4. On 30th& 31st July 2012, Black Badge wearing at work place in protest against the attitude of the Authorities.

5. From Ist August, 2012- Apart from not sending statistical reports, desisting from working beyond office hours and on holidays, not allowing outsiders to work in office.

6. On 23rd August, 2012- Walk out from office  for the whole day.The central JCA also decided to request its members to fully cooperate with the process of return receipt during the month of July-2012, solely in the interest of avoiding any difficulty to the Tax Payers, as this is never the intention of the JCA.All the Circle/unit secretaries of ITEF and ITGOA are requested to carry out the above programmes successfully in all places. State JCA leaders may undertake necessary campaign programme to make the agitation success wherever necessary.  They may also intimate the Central JCA, if any campaign programme by Central leadership is required in any place.      With fraternal greetings, 

Yours ffraternally,                                                                              sd/                          sd/

Corcular No. M-12/2012                                                                          Dated: 2nd  June 2012.Dear Comrades,

Meeting with the Chairman, CBDT            The much awaited “Quarterly” Review Meeting between the Chairman, CBDT and JCA took place on 30th May, 2012.  The “Quarterly” meeting was held after a gap of 9 months and that too after a nation-wide protest by the members of the JCA demanding the Meeting and settlement of long pending issues.  Congratulations to one and all, for successfully holding the demonstration, which forced the Administration to convene  the meeting.The meeting was an absolute farce on the expectation of promotee officers and staff.  The Official Side could not even report the progress of implementation of the issues already agreed and settled.  Rather the official side took full advantage of the frequent change in the incumbency in the Board to confuse and mislead themselves over pending issues, some of which were as under :      i.        Cadre Composition was mistaken as Cadre Restructuring,     ii.        Advance Increment on passing Dept. Exam was discussed as increment on promotion.    iii.        Anomaly in pay fixation of Inspectors, AO/PS was mistaken as upgradation of Pay ScaleEvery issue taken up for review, especially those agreed upon and resolved in earlier meetings had to be discussed afresh as new points.            We have every reason to believe that the approach of the Official Side in this meeting was an orchestrated one to hide the failures in implementing and executing the decisions taken earlier and its unwillingness to address the genuine grievances of the Officers and Staff of the Department.   For instance the oft repeated reasons for not conducting the DPCs for various cadres above ITO level is repeated again in this meeting such as ACRs are being collected, vigilance clearance is

pending, UPSC has been approached, proposal has gone etc.etc.  The meeting also brought out the nefarious and partisan role of the Board, as a proposal to amend the IRS Rules 1988 without any sort of discussion with JCA or ITGOA, whose members are the only feeder cadre to the promotion quota in IRS. After, the questioning by JCA, the Chairman-CBDT directed the HRD to submit a detailed report on the said issue and it was assured that the Board will discuss the same without any prejudice. Further, an unfortunate development in the meeting was some of the issues after fresh discussions ended either in rejection or deferment.                       The “Quarterly Review Meetings” are held not only to discuss the issues but to review the progress of implementation of issues already settled.  The Chairman even took the position that he cannot be held responsible for the failures of his predecessors, thus totally negating the spirit of “Review”.  Further our request for another meeting in a months time to review what has been decided in this meeting was also turned down, thus shutting down the door of negotiation with him during his tenure.  But, we are trying once again for a meeting within a months time. Further, to avoid recurrence of such a situation, we have also urged the Chairman to set up a Permanent Committee for grievance redressal and review of implementation.            The System of Quarterly Review Meeting with the Chairman and bimonthly meeting with the Member (P&V) was introduced in the Department at the intervention of the Finance Minister and Revenue Secretary in the wake of a long agitation by the JCA in the year 2005.  At no point of time after that, such attempt was made to scuttle the mechanism as is being done now. The Member Personnel who was supposed to convene bimonthly meeting with the JCA has not even called a singled meeting during the last one year.            The deliberate derailment of established and accepted negotiating mechanism at the apex level is also reflected in the attitude of certain

CCIT(CCA) of certain regions.  Before this disease spreads, we the JCA will have to take steps to bring the system back to track and the JCA leadership is exploring all options to counter the nefarious design of the authorities.  The National JCA will meet shortly to chalk out further programme of actions to get the genuine grievances of the employees and officers redressed.             With greetings,

                                                                    Yours fraternally,                                                          sd/-                                     sd/-

8th May, 2012.

 Dear Comrades,

 JCA programme of agitation. According to the reports reaching the CHQ, the

members of ITEF and ITGOA responded admirably to the lunch hour meeting and

demonstration held on 3rd May, 2012 and participated massively in the Dharna

programme of 8th May, 2012. It was no doubt, a reflection of the total discontent of

the employees and Officers of the department over the insensitive and wayward

attitude of the Central Board of Direct Taxes towards the grievances and legitimate

demands of the employees and Officers.  The Secretariat of the ITEF congratulate

the members of the JCA for their cooperation in making the programme a grand

success and registering our protest against the  attitude of the CBDT authorities. Till

now there is no indication of the willingness of the authorities to convene a meeting

or hold discussion with the JCA leaders for the settlement of our issues.  Further

programme of action will be intimated shortly in consultation with the ITGOA.

Confederation Programme. The National Executive meeting of the

Confederation which was held at Kolkata on 28 th April 2012 has decided to hold a

massive march to Parliament on 26th July, 2012 and embark upon other agitational

programmes during the month of August to November, 2012 culminating in a one

day strike during the winter session of Parliament. The National Executive decided to

organize such programmes exclusively on the issues and demands of the Central

Government Employees in the light of non-settlement of the issues arose after

implementation of the VI-CPC report, wage revision of the employees after the

crossing of DA index at 50 point mark, non functioning of the JCM/DCMs, continued

attempt to outsource and privatise the Departmental works of permanent nature,

closure of Govt. Offices, restrictions on compassionate ground appointments etc. 

The Charter of Demand finalised in the National Council Meeting is enclosed. 

Campaign Programme. The National Council also decided to embark upon a

campaign programme during the month of June-July 2012 to elicit massive

participation in the March to Parliament programme and other programmes slated

after that.  The joint campaign programme is finalised  on the basis that atleast three

major stations in each state will be covered by the leaders of the Confederation.  The

Dear Comrade,

The National Executive meeting of the Confederation was held at Kolkata on

28th April 2012 as scheduled.  The meeting was chaired by Com. S.K.Vyas,

President. Of the 27 members of the Sectt., twenty comrades attended the meeting. 

Com. D.P.S Madan and Com. Seethalakshmi did not attend the meeting.  The other

five comrades had intimated their inability due to unavoidable circumstances to be

present at Kolkata.  Eighteen National Executive            Members representing

affiliated Associations/Federations having more than 3000 members did attend the

meeting. The prominent absentees were the representatives of: (a) Central Sectt.

Employees Federation, (b) CPWD Workers Union (c) CGHS employees Association

and (d) Marine Engg. Employees’ Association.  However, the following affiliates,

even though having less than 3000 membership, sent in their representatives to

attend the meeting as observers.

Farakka Barrage Engineers Association, Farakka Barrage Group D Employees

Union, NSSO Ministerial Staff Association, Botanical Survey of India Employees

Association, ICMR Employees Association, National Library Employees Association.

Of the 18 State Committees, barring Gujarat, Rajasthan, North West Region

(Haryana and Punjab) and Himachal Pradesh, all sent in their representatives to

attend the meeting.  It was, therefore, the best attended National Executive meeting

of the Confederation.  We thank profusely the comrades who took the trouble to

make it possible.  The West Bengal State Committee had made very good

arrangements for the conduct of the meeting.  Excellent food and very good lodging

arrangements had been there.   The decisions taken at the meeting are briefly

placed hereunder:

1. At the request of the house, Com. President agreed to include to discuss the organisational matters and organisational review was included in the agenda.

1. 2.            Agenda No.1: Programme of Action – Unanimously decided to organise a March to Parliament on 26th July,

2012(Thursday) with a participation of  about 50,000 comrades.1. Series of demonstrative action programmes will be carried out

during the months of August to November, 2012.1. 4.            The programme will be culminated in a One day Strike on

a date to be fixed by the Sectt. and announced at the rally on

26th July, 2012.  The proposed one day strike will be on a day

between the last fortnight of November and the first week

of December, 2012, depending upon the period of the

Monsoon session of the Parliament.

2. 5.            Agenda No. 2: Campaign programmes – The first phase of the campaign programme will be concluded by 20th July, 2012.  The National leaders will visit all States.  Meetings will be organised at least in three places in each State.  The State Committee immediately on receipt of this communication will decide upon the tour programme for each station in the State.  The affiliates will book accommodation at Delhi for the participants who will have to reach Delhi a day prior to the programme.  The Comrades who will be going over to Delhi may be advised to book both the to and fro journey tickets.  The Tour programme of the National leaders is given in the annexure to this Circular.  Both the State Committee and the deployed comrades may seek changes in the date and place within one week of the receipt of this communication.  Whatever adjustments are possible, it would be done by the CHHHQ. After a week no change could be possibly done. The State/District Committees and the affiliates” State leadership will ensure that the railway tickets are booked immediately and the list of volunteers to participate in the March to Parliament programme finalised. The States Committees of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh are specially requested to mobilize large number of comrades who are stationed

in and around Delhi for participation in the March to Parliament programme.  If necessary they may hire buses etc. to bring the participants.

 

1. 6.            Review of 28th Feb. 2012 Strike participation: As per the reports presented by both the State Committee and the affiliates, it is evident that the strike participation of CGEs on 28th Feb. 2012 had surpassed all records and have enthused the rank and file of the workers. Most of the comrades reported that the proposed strike action in November/December, 2012 will have larger participation of CGEs in view of the CGE specific demands in the charter. It emanated from the discussion of the organizational review that the organizational state of affairs in North West Region and Gujarat is quite pathetic and serious attention to revive the functioning of the state Committees must be made. The U.P State Committee will hold their conference in June, 2012.  The State Conference of Orissa has already been held and a new set of office bearers have been elected. The Trineal State Conference of Conference was held with participation of all District Committees. The State Committees have been formed in Uttarakhand, Jharkhand and Chattisgarh.  The continued inability of H.P. State Committee to participate in the strike action as well as in the NE meetings has been noted and it was decided that the National leaders must pay attention to this aspect immediately.   The Rajasthan State Committee’s Conference is overdue and steps must be initiated to hold the Conference.  In many districts of Tamilnadu, Committees

are yet to be formed and the State Committee’s repeated assurance in the matter has not been fructified.

Many affiliates have reported the non- functioning of the JCM Departmental and

Office councils and the non grant of recognition despite completion of all formalities. 

The assigning of Group B. Non Gazetted Ministerial status to the employees with

grade pay of Rs. 4200 has created problems for many organisations.  Taking all

these into account, the Committee decided to hold demonstration in front of all

offices and send the following telegram to the Cabinet Secretary and the Secretary

Personnel respectively. The demonstration is to be organized in front of all offices

on 25th May, 2012 and the following telegrams/savingrams  sent:

To Cabinet Secretary: Rashtrapati Bhawan Annexe, New Delhi.

 REQUEST FOR ISSUANCE OF DIRECTIVE TO ALL DEPARTMENTS TO HOLD DEPARTMENTAL COUNCIL MEETINGS AND GRANT RECOGNITION TO SERVICE ASSOCIATION WHEREVER THE ASSOCIATIONS HAVE COMPLIED WITH THE CCS(RSA) RULES.  To

The Secretary (Personnel) North Block, New Delhi.

KINDLY CONVENE THE NATIONAL ANOMALY COMMITTEE MEETING AND SETTLE THE ANOMALY ITEMS IMMEDIATELY. 

1. Many comrades who participated in the discussion agreed with Com. T.K. R. Pillai that the 6th CPC has done great injustice to the cadre of LDCs and UDCs and the MACP scheme has compounded it.  The restructuring of the UDCs cadre in the Central Sectt. has accentuated the injustice and has disturbed the parity which had all along been in existence with the Sectt and subordinate office staff.  The decision of the Govt. was in complete contravention of the 6trh

CPC recommendation to the effect that there must be parity in the pay scales of Sectt and staff in the subordinate offices. The restructuring ought to have been automatically extended to all field formation as the Department of Personnel is the nodal cadre controlling authority for all common categories, he added.  The house, hearing the views of others, decided that the National leaders should immediately take up this matter as also the settlement of MACP related issues with the Government by holding discussions.Com. Prasad raised the issue of denial transport allowance for those who are on field duty which put them into great financial loss.  The house directed the Sectt.to take up the matter with the Govt. for the removal of conditions for the grant of Transport allowance.

1. The other suggestion that has emerged from the discussions were:(a)  The National leadership of affiliated Associations should pay visit to the States

periodically and the problems of the employees discussed;

(b)  The CHQ must monitor and ensure that the State conferences are held within

the time schedule prescribed under the constitution;

(c)  The Confederation’s decisions must be endorsed by all affiliates and

communication to that effect issued to all field formations with copy to the State

Committees and CHQ.

(d)  The CHQ leaders will interact with the leaders of CGHS and Central Sectt. To

elicit their participation in the Confederation meetings.

1. 9.    The meeting also discussed the probability of the PFRDA Bill getting enacted in this session of the Parliament, especially in the background of the stated position of the BJP to support such an

enactment.  BJP seems to have watered down its avowed position and they may not perhaps insist upon guarantee  even for a minimum pension.  If not altogether dropped, they may allow it to be reduced to a pittance   The meeting was of the opinion that the Confederation as decided earlier, must register its opposition to the bill as and when it is taken up for adoption, through a separate programme.  Accordingly, it is decided that a demonstration

for two hours on either the day the bill is taken up in the

Parliament for discussion or the next day must be

organised. The State Committee and the affiliates are requested to kindly take the campaign

programme very seriously as an intensified and widespread mass contact will not

only rejuvenate our movement but will also ensure larger participation in the 26th July,

2012 March to Parliament.  We must reach out to our members even at the remote

corners of the country and we are certain that this campaign will help us to bring

about a strong organisational base before we embark upon the strike action.

 Expecting your utmost co-operation in making the programme of action a

magnificent success,

 With greetings,                                                       Yours fraternally,

KKN Kutty

Secretary General.

No. M-12/C-1/2012                                                                               

Dated:25th April, 2012

Dear Comrade,

            Please refer to the JCA letter dated 22nd March, 2012 addressed to the

Chairman, Central Board of Direct Taxes, New Delhi.  The said letter was

accompanied by the resolution passed in the Central JCA meeting held on

21.03.2012 alongwith 16-point Charter of Demands.   The letter and resolution sent

to the Chairman were put on the website/email and published in the April issue of

Aayakar.  The said letter explicitly communicated to the authorities to convene the

long pending meeting with the the JCA and settle the issues within a month’s time. 

When no indication was forthcoming from the authorities, another letter reiterating

the request was submitted to the Chairman on 16th March, 2012.  Till date we have

not heard anything from the  Chairman indicating the date for the meeting  with the

representatives of the JCA to discuss very urgent and long pending issues.

            You are aware the deliberations that took place in the All India Conferences

of ITGOA at Mumbai held in the month of January 2012 and the All India Conference

of ITEF held at Mehsana in the month of February, 2012.  In both the conferences

the dilly-dallying attitude of the authorities was widely condemned.  Taking into

account the total discard of the established mechanism of settlement viz. Quarterly

Review Meeting by the Chairman CBDT and bimonthly meeting by the Member

(Personnel), CBDT with the representatives of the JCA both the conferences

separately and the JCA meetings held on 24th December, 2011 and 21st March, 2012

decided to mount pressure on the authorities through sustained agitation unitedly

under the banner of JCA, for settlement of our issues pending for long time.  To pave

way for a negotiated settlement and implementation of the agreed ones, both the

ITEF from 27th Sept. 2007 and ITGOA from 28th March, 2012, suspended our ongoing

agitations.

            We regret to inform you all that not only there is any communication from the

authorities to convene the meeting but there is absolutely  no  indication of any

efforts  to redress our grievances even  on the agreed demands.  It is pertinent to

mention here  that the Chairman has even     refused to meet the delegation of

ITGOA for a few minutes to discuss an urgent issue.  Therefore we are compelled to

revert back to the decisions of the JCA meeting held on 21st March, 20102 to embark

upon the agitational path.  We therefore, call upon you to implement the following

agitational programme chalked out by the JCA, throughout the country jointly under

the banner of JCA to register our protest against the attitude of the authorities in

addressing the grievances of the promote Officers and staff of the Department.

3rd May, 2012:            To hold lunch hour meeting to explain the circumstances 

and the charter of demands to the members and demonstration in protest against the

attitude of the Central Board of Direct Taxes at all  places. The same day a Copy of

the Charter of Demands will be submitted to the CCITs/CITs requesting their

intervention in the matter.

8th May, 2012:  To organize Mass Dharna programme at all     CCIT/CIT offices

and sending the following telegram to the Chairman,CBDT, New Delhi.

“Kindly hold talks with the JCA leaders and settle our grievances”JCA_____________Branch/unit                                     To organize Lunch hour meeting and walk out for the second half of the day. (the date will be intimated later)The Central JCA will meet immediately after the above programmes  to take stock of

the situation and to decide further course of action. All the Circle/ Unit Joint

Conveners of JCA are requested to take necessary steps to organize the above

programmes jointly and successfully.

The Charter of demands is enclosed alongwith the resolution passed in the JCA

Meeting.  Please report to the Central JCA about the implementation of the

programmes  through e-mail/phone

With fraternal greetings,

        Yours fraternally

Cir No. 3/2012-15                                            Dated: 11th April, 2012.

Dear Comrade,

Com. C. Susbramanian is no more.

Com. C. Subramanian, veteran trade union leader and former president and General Secretary of TITU,

the then Tamilnadu affiliate  of ITEF expired on 05.04.2012.  He was 86 years old.  Com. “CS” as he is

known in TU circle was a born leader.  In his six decades of trade union movement, began as an activists

of the Income Tax Employees movement rose to be one of the inspiring leaders of the Tax Employees

movement in India.  He was instrumental in the formation of then Tamilnadu Income Tax Employees

Union in the early seventies when the then affiliate of the ITEF in Tamilnadu decided to disaffiliate from

the Federation. His tireless work and contribution to the movement got recognition from all spheres of

trade union movement.  The death of Com CS is an irreparable one for the Tax Employees in India.  The

ITEF pays its respectful homage to his memory and conveys its heartfelt condolence to his family

members.

Departmental Examination-2012

The Secretary General along with Addl. Secretary Com. Ashok Kr Kanojia had a meeting with the Director

of Income Tax (Examinations) on 10.04.2012 to ascertain the schedule of Departmental Examination

2012.  In an earlier meeting the SG and the President had with the Director, we had requested to

streamline the Examination schedule so that the Examinations are over by the end of June every year. 

The same was agreed upon.  In the instant meeting the DIT placed before us certain difficulties in this

year in conducting the examinations during the month of June.  The prime one being introduction of new

software enabling the candidates to apply for the examination online.  This has been necessitated, we

were told, by the incidents of the past.  Instances have been reported to the Directorate as well as to us

that the applications of the candidates have not been forwarded by the authorities (DDOs/CIT (Exams.) to

the Directorate thus denying the candidates the chance to appear in the Examination.  The new procedure

of online application will enable the candidates to register their names directly to the Directorate as also to

submit a hard copy to the DDO concerned for authentication and onward transmission through the CIT

(Examinations).  The details of the procedure to be adopted will be circulated as and when we get it from

the Directorate.  We have therefore agreed for the postponement of the Examination.  After taking into

account the regional and national festivals and holidays and in consultation with the President Com.

Ashok B Salunkhe, we have suggested the dates for conducting the examination-2012 between 2nd and

15th of September, 2012, which has been agreed upon by the Directorate.   It was also agreed by the

Official side that the results of the Examination will be published as early as possible but not later than

November, 2012.

Renewal Fee

As has been informed earlier, the cadre restructuring proposal is in the Cabinet Secretariat for approval of

the Cabinet.  All the queries and clarification sought have been provided.  It is reliably learnt that the

proposal may be cleared by the Cabinet at any time.  We shall inform you immediately on its approval.

JCA  served notice to Chairman

The JCA of ITEF and ITGOA which met on 21st March, 2012 had decided to embark upon a serious

agitation to make the authorities  see reason for settling our long pending demands.  The communication

made to the Chairman, CBDT in this regard and the resolutions passed in the said meeting of the JCA has

been published in the April issue of Aayakar.  In the letter to Chairman, the JCA has given one month’s

time  to convene the Quarterly meeting and settle our issues contained in the 16 point charter of demands,

failing which the JCA will embark upon serious agitation. The JCA’s Charter of Demand presented to the

CBDT is enclosed.

With greetings,

Yours fraternally,

(K.P. Rajagopal)

Circular No.2/2012-15                                                                         Dated 28th February, 2012

Dear Comrade,

We have been able to get the reports of the strike participation from all our circles today.  In all the states

the strike was 100 percent success.  The reports received by the Circle General Secretaries from the

branches were collated, and we are proud to inform that in many stations even top officials either did not

come to office or preferred to return after seeing the total strike by the employees.  Invariably in all places

the Casual/contract workers and contingent paid employees either remain absent or joined the striking

employees making virtual closure of  Income Tax Offices throughout the country.

             The strike call given by the Central Trade Unions evoked mammoth response throughout the

country and paralysed life in many states.   The Central Government Employees under the banner of

Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers responded admirably to the call for strike.

A Press note released by the Confederation of CG Employees and Workers is enclosed.

            We once again congratulate the leaders of the Circles for the great efforts undertaken by them

especially when they could reach back only on 27th just a day prior to the strike from Mehsana after

attending the All India Delegates Conference.  The massive preparation made by them before the

conference and the efforts taken by the branch/unit level leaders to keep the tempo upbeat in the absence

of their leaders for a week prior to the strike, has resulted in the massive participation of all employees and

making  the strike a grand success.

            With Red Salute,

            Yours fraternally, 

Sd/

            (K.P. Rajagopal),

            Secretary General,CONFEDERATION OF

CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AND WORKERS

Date: 28th February 2012

PRESS STATEMENT 

The General Strike of Indian working class for which the call was given by the Central Trade Unions and

endorsed by all the Federations and the Central and State Govt. Employees elicited the largest

participation today. The increased participation of workers in the industrial action was indicative of the

growing realization of the need to struggle against the present economic policies of the Govt. of India.

The Central Govt. employees throughout the country responded to the call admirably in as much as the

strike was almost total in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh,

Maharashtra, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Manipur and about 80% in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Bihar

and Uttar Pradesh, and partial in Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Arunachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Himachal

Pradesh, Orissa and Gujarat.

The strike was no doubt an impressive reflection of the total discontent of the employees over the various

policy decisions like scrapping of the existing pension scheme, outsourcing, contractorisation and

privatisation which have threatened the job security. The increasing prices of essential commodities had

added to the agony and despite periodical wage increase through the system of Dearness Compensation,

the employees found it difficult to make the both ends meet with the existing emoluments.

The Confederation National Secretariat while congratulating the Central Govt. Employees in general for

the total co-operation in making the strike action a grand success, particularly place on record the

exemplary and magnificent achievement of Income Tax Employees Federation and All India Central

Ground Water Board Employees Association, who could make cent percent of their members to

participate in the strike.

We once again call upon the affiliates to go ahead with the preparation of the next strike action in

pursuance of the 14-point Charter of Demands which are of exclusive concern to Central Government

Employees.

Committee welcomed the Guests and delegates.  In his welcome address he touched upon the  agony of

the  working class in this country due to the  implementation of the  new economic policies and called

upon all to resist the onslaught of the majority people of this country due to the wrong policies of the

successive Governments.    While delivering the Presidential Address Com. K.P. Rajagopal criticized the

stand taken by the CBDT Officials to ignore the  invitation of the only Organisation representing the entire

non-gazetted employees in the Department.  He also touched upon the issues of delay in getting the

solidarity with the ITEF members and other working class of this country.

The Secretary General of Confederation of  Central Government Employees and Workers and Advisory

Committee Member Com. Kutty while addressing the delegates dealt with the demands and problems  of

the Central Government Employees and agony  inflicted on the people due to the policies pursued by the

Government.  The policies, he said, had put the people  and working class in a miserable condition and

allowed the microscopic  minority of rich to become richer and muti billioners.  The scams involving billions

of rupees stashed in foreign banks by a few individuals were fecilitated by these policies.  If the country

could withstand the havoc created by the world economic recession of 2008-09 it was due to the presence

of strong Public Sector Undertaking and the firm stand and resistance put forth  by the working class

against the privatization process of these PUCs.  He appealed to the Tax employees not only to make the

Strike action of 28th February, 2012 a grand success, but stressed the need of the ITEF taking the lead in

organizing the strike in the Central Government Employees movement.

employees organizations.  He , while speaking, went in detail of the demands on which the workers of the

country is going for a one day strike on 28th February, 2012.  Com. Sita Ram Rao, President of Income

Tax Gazetted Officers Association addressed the audience.  He also stressed the need to strengthen the

joint movement in the Department.  He opined that the present attitude of the authorities may be due to

lack of a strong united resistance and sooner than later we have to show them that the Officers and

employees cannot be ignored and the lethargy and dilly dallying attitude would not be tolerated.  Com. M.
