Sir, Subject : Review of Transfer/Posting/Rotation for Group-B Executive Officers of Vadodara Zone – regarding.             Kindly refer to your office letter No. II/03-22/CCO/2015 dated 05.04.2016 on the captioned matter. 2.         In this connection, All India Central Excise Inspector’s Association, Surat would like to submit the following comments/points for your kind consideration for review purpose of the aforesaid policy and incorporation/amendment accordingly : (i) In the said policy, there is a provision of normal tenure of a cluster for nine years and three years in a Commissionerate. It is however submitted that the due list issued by the department mentions names of only such officers who have completed nine years in a Cluster. Names of the officers, who have completed 3 years in a Commissionerate and are due for Commissionerate change may also be published. Nine years term for cluster change and three years term for Commissionerate change must be complied without exception. (ii) Para 5.3 providing for continuous 2 years non-sensitive charge in respect of on request transfer should be implemented strictly without any exemption or relaxation. (iii) As per Para 7.1, the officers who have completed 6 years in other 2 Commissionerates of the Cluster, may be considered for posting to Audit Commissionerate. (iv) Postings to Customs zone should be made only through the available pool of the officers as per existing provisions of the policy and no direct recruit be posted in Customs at his first posting. Only seniority wise posting to Customs may be adhered to since there are many officers who are left untouched being neither the senior-most nor the junior-most during the relevant time for several years. (v) There is no tracking of the officers who have exceeded their maximum tenure in DRI, Surat such as Sh. Bharat Kumar Patel, Inspector (S.List No. 641) was deputed to DRI Surat on 06.05.2010 for five years and has exceeded his tenure by around one year, whereas application for deputation to DRI Surat of Sh. M.S. Prabhat, Inspector is pending for more than one and half years. It is requested that officers may be repatriated from deputation immediately on completion of their maximum tenure and officers with clean track records may be given opportunity to serve in such agencies. (vi) It is requested to provide separate consideration to the cases of physically challenged persons and providing them exemption from Para 5.3 of the policy as per DOPT OM No. 36035/3/2013-Estt.(Res) dated 31.03.2015, wherein it has been specifically mentioned at Para H that “ the practice of considering choice of place of posting in case of persons with disabilities may be continued. To the extent feasible, they may be retained the same job, where their services could be optimally utilised.” (vii) The discretionary powers with regard to deviation from the policy provided in Para 19 may kindly be scrapped off to maintain fairness and transparency. 3.         It is requested to kindly update minutes of meeting on CCO, Vadodara website and revise/implement transfer/posting policy accordingly.                         With Regards.                                                                   Yours faithfully,                                                                            (M.S.
