CBEC - How many Chief Commissioners are there?
CBEC had notified the cadre review on 18.12.2013, by which 14 posts of Principal Chief Commissioner in the apex scale of Rs. 80,000/-, 38 posts of Chief Commissioner in the scale of Rs.75,500-80000 (HAG+) and the existing Chief Commissioners were re-designated as Principal Commissioner in the scale of Rs. 67000-79000 (HAG).
After this on 13.1.2014, 19.3.2014, 25.04.2014, they promoted some Commissioners as Chief Commissioners in the grade of Rs. 67000-79000 (HAG). They should have been actually promoted as Principal Commissioner, not Chief Commissioner.
The next promotion for the Commissioners was on 26.09.2014, when they promoted some Commissioners as Principal Commissioner in the scale of Rs. 67000-79000 (HAG). This year also several Commissioners were promoted as Principal Commissioners.
On 10th august 2015, CBEC published a seniority list of Chief Commissioners as on 1.4.2015. This list has 14 names out of whom 2 have retired, six have become Members of the Board and that leaves just 6 Chief Commissioners in the country.
In the transfer order dated 20.08.2015, CBEC made several Principal Commissioners to hold additional charge of the posts of Chief Commissioner.
Today CBEC is organising a conference of Chief Commissioners. Who are they?
There is total confusion as to who is a Commissioner, Principal Commissioner, Chief Commissioner.
And have they appointed Principal Chief Commissioners?
