Send Representations only through Proper Channel - CBEC Member
CBEC Member Joy Kumari Chander in a letter to all the Chief Commissioners wants them to advise all officers under their charge to address representations only to the relevant authority who is competent to dispose of the same, and send the same through proper channel.
She informs them that the Board has been receiving a large number of representations directly from officers, without routing the same through proper channel. Advance copies are also being received and it is seen that often these advance copies are also endorsed to various other authorities. Often, therefore, the administration is flooded with 4-7 copies of the same representation received through different routes. This is generating unnecessary work all around starting with entry into the FTS (File Tracking System) as well as handling of many copies by the Sections.
It was only a couple of weeks ago that Board issued similar instructions. ()
Why can't they bar all such representations?
Maybe it is very difficult to discipline senior officers.
