48 Posts of CIT lying vacant in CBDT

By Vijay Kumar

WHILE Ranchi is suffering without a CIT(A), the CBDT has announced that as on 05.11.2012 (Yesterday), they have 48 posts of Commissioners lying vacant and they have shown one vacant post in Ranchi - that could be that of the CIT(A). Now if the post is lying vacant for the last four years as our Netizen informs, it cannot be filled as per the Expenditure and Finance Secretary's instructions which we carried yesterday.

So, perhaps Ranchi may continue to enjoy the absence of a CIT(A) for some more time.

But why can't the Board divert some of the jurisdictional Commissioners as CIT(A)? Not many takers?
