Mass(ive) promotions in CBEC - 10,000 Appraisal Reports to be verified?
CBEC Chairperson has given certain vital details about the on-going cadre restructuring in the department.
The jurisdiction of the new Zones/Commissionerates/Directorates, is to be notified by 23.5.2014.
2118 Superintendents/Appraisers are to be promoted as Assistant Commissioners. The Chairperson says that this would involve verification and updating of 10,000 annual reports of officers. Do you really need to consider 10,000 reports to promote 2000 officers? If so, will it ever be done? Imagine transporting 10,000 files from all over India to Delhi and is the Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) and UPSC going to browse through all these files?
DPC for promotion is a big farce - promotion is given strictly by seniority, except when there are charges against the officer.
The promotions will be a reality, only if they take the seniority list and promote the officers as per the list without complications like verification, DPC and UPSC. It takes them years to promote a hundred officers - when will they promote 2118 officers?
