CBEC Proposes Amendments to Gr-A Recruitment Rules - Unnecessary Litigation Planned - 13:2:1 ratio for Gr-B
THE CBEC has proposed several amendments to the Indian Customs and Central Excise Service Group ‘A' Rules, 1987.
One of the amendments proposed is for Rule 19(2) - the amended version reads exactly as the previous one, but there is humour here. The Board explains, “the change is required for unnecessary litigation in future”.
Superintendents who have completed two years of service will now be eligible for promotion as Assistant Commissioners. Earlier, it was three years of service. The fact is that there are Superintendents who have completed twenty years of service, waiting for that elusive promotion.
The ratio for promotion to Assistant Commissioner from Group B will be 13:2:1 among Superintendents of Central Excise, Superintendents of Customs and appraisers. This was earlier 6:2:1.
The amendments are to be approved by DOPT and UPSC.
