21 years and not a single promotion

By Vijay Kumar

That’s the plight of Central Excise inspectors in the West Zone. They were inspectors much before Modvat was born. Even Modvat became Cenvat but they remain as inspectors. This was the major concern at their national convention in Pune yesterday. While the Inspector was watching in the sidelines, those who joined along with him either as a clerk or an Assistant Commissioner must have got about five promotions. “This gross neglect will have an impact on revenue collections”, feels an inspector.
