Inspectors not to attend office on Holidays this Month-end
CBEC had instructed that Customs and Central Excise offices throughout India will remain open on the holidays on 29, 30 and 31 March 2013 ( - 18.03.2013).
The All India Central Excise Inspectors Association has informed the Chairman that in view of the continuing apathy and indifference of the CBEC and the Government of India to the appallingly poor career prospects available to Inspectors of Central Excise including abject stagnation being faced by them for decades, very wide disparities in promotions within and among the three cadres of Inspectors of Central Excise/Preventive Officers of Customs/Examiners of Customs to the Gazetted Gr B posts and further to the Gr A, and several other major grievances ventilated by the Association from time to time, they are highly agitated and demoralized and in protest against this treatment being meted out to this cadre, no member of this Association will attend office on Government Holiday/Saturday/ Sunday - 29th, 30th and 31st March 2013 respectively .
It is heard that the Superintendents will also join the inspectors in ‘staying away from office' during these holidays.
In any case, what are all the officers going to do in the office on all these days?
