CBEC wants 11 Under Secretaries - any takers?
CBEC has 11 posts of Under Secretaries/ Sr. Technical Officers lying vacant and they have called for applications from willing and eligible officers. Assistant Commissioners are eligible. Apparently, not many Assistant Commissioners are willing to work in the Board. Once upon a time it was considered a great honour to work in the Board, but as perks and pelf displaced honour, there are no takers for the Board posting. Board should seriously consider providing them with certain facilities like a good allowance, a car and some secretarial assistance. A Technical officer in the Board once told me that his nephew refused to join the IRS as he saw his uncle (then working as a TOTRU - Technical Officer TRU) commuting to office on a motor cycle. Poor boy! He believed that IRS is all about TRU.
