CBEC Member Sreela Ghosh Quits
Sreela Ghosh — the image was hosted by the publisher and was not captured.THE CBEC Member Sreela Ghosh quit her job yesterday (with effect from today) on voluntary retirement after serving the department for over 36 years. It is the dream, hope and ultimate goal of every IRS officer to one day adorn the Board as its Member. Chief Commissioners who are virtually princes in the field, would happily throw away all the perks and protocol to be part of the madness in North Block, as a Member and if possible as Chairman of the Board. It is in the December of one's career that one can hope to be a Member of the Board and usually a Member has an average of about 18 months tenure.
This is perhaps the first time that a Member of the Board has taken voluntary retirement. Why should a person who has reached the zenith of her career quit five months before her due date of superannuation?
DDT tried to catch up with Ms. Ghosh to find out, but she was in no mood to talk, except for saying, it was for personal reasons. She said it was a long innings and she had no regrets. She said it was a great department and wished the department greater days ahead.
