Submission of representations through proper channel - CBEC Instruction
CBEC has noticed that a large number of representations are being received in the Board directly without being routed through proper channel.
Board reiterates that all representations should be sent through proper channel after due verification and with the comments/recommendations of the respective Chief Commissioner/Director General.
Board advises all CCs/DGs to bring this to the notice of all concerned. They shall forward the representations of the officials, with their comments/recommendations immediately on receipt and in any case, within a maximum period of one month of the date of receipt.
Incidentally, the CBDT had only a week ago issued a similar instruction CBDT Office Memorandum in F. No.Dir(Hqrs)/Ch.(DT)/29/2013, Dated: September 17. And whereas the CBDT warns that Officers/Staff violating these instructions may be liable for appropriate disciplinary action for displaying conduct unbecoming of a Government servant attracting the provisions of Rule 3 (1) (iii) of the CCS (Conduct) Rules. 1964, the CBEC perhaps doesn't share a similar sentiment. Please see DDT 2445/25.09.2014.
