Posting of officers and staff to LTU - Clarification on rotation of Group 'A' officers – CBEC Clarifies
The Chief Commissioner of Central Excise, Mumbai –I had sought a clarification on posting of IRS officers in LTU.
Board clarifies
1. Officers will, as far as possible, be rotated between the Customs and Central Excise branches every two years and adequate experience in Service Tax branch will also be ensured as far as possible.
2. It is not mandatory that an officer will be transferred to Customs formation immediately on completion of tenure in the Central Excise, nor can an officer claim it as a matter of right to transfer him to Customs as soon as he completes two years tenure in the Central Excise.
3. The administrative requirements have to be kept in mind while considering transfers from one formation to the other.
4. it is not necessary that each and every officer should be posted both in the Central Excise as well as in the LTU.
5. Posting in an LTU is an important assignment and, therefore, once an officer is posted there, he must serve there at least two years before being considered for rotation in other field formations, irrespective of his tenure immediately preceding his posting in the LTU.
If you think these are trivial matters, you are wrong. Posting is the ultimate thing that matters – budgets and revenue collections really don't matter. Every day we are flooded with calls from victims of unfair and unjust postings by autocratic bosses.
