14 IRS Officers Missing - CBEC wants Info
MORE than four years ago in 13.04.2011, I reported that CBEC has circulated a list of 27 IRS(C&CE) officers who have been unauthorisedly absent from duty for a long time. It has not been possible to take necessary action against these officers for want of their present address(es). The list contains, inter-alia, the last known posting of these officers. The list was obviously wrong as I met one of the ‘missing' officers in her office a few days later.
Last year, the CBEC circulated a list of 19 missing IRS officers ( 01.07.2014). Maybe they found 8 of those missing offices in the three years.
Yesterday the Board sent a letter to all the Chief Commissioners that 14 IRS officers are unauthorizedly absent from duty for a long time. So, maybe they found five more missing IRS officers. The date of birth of one of the missing officers is 16.12.1954. He would have retired on 31.12.2014; what is the use of finding him now?
Board wants the Chief Commissioners to provide information on the missing officers by 9th October.
In these days of satellite communication, is it difficult to find people? Normally missing Government officers are either abroad or hiding in India. It shouldn't be difficult to trace them and if you really don't want them, just leave them alone and treat them as dismissed from service after a due notice in the newspapers.
