FM heading totally dissatisfied workforce

THE Finance Minister wants to target the non-filers and wants the Excise, Customs and Service Tax officers to collect the targeted revenue. He told them that revenue mobilisation is the most important task of the department and they should achieve the tax collection target.

But does he know that he heads a totally dissatisfied and frustrated work force. From Inspector to Chief Commissioner, officers in the department are frustrated and disappointed over the ever elusive cadre review, especially after it is cleared for the sister Board CBDT. Superintendents are retiring with just one promotion in their entire career and Chief Commissioners are waiting for the post of Principal Chief Commissioners and Commissioners are angry about the unfair transfer orders.

The victims of all this pent up anger and frustration are the poor assesses! Can the FM do something about this?
