Keep litigant officers away from Revenue collection work - CBDT
CBDT's transfer orders invariably result in officers rushing to various CAT benches and High Courts and many of these officers get stay from the tribunal and High Courts. Now what to do with such litigant officers? CBDT believes that such officers are any way busy with litigation and may not be able to devote adequate time to revenue collection efforts of the Government.
So the CBDT has directed the Chief Commissioners that all officers, who have obtained stay order against their transfer may be posted to exempted/non-assessment charges till the issue is decided in the Courts. Board wants a compliance report from the Chief Commissioners.
The Board had inadvertently transferred ShriNarender Kumar ACIT to DGIT (Amn.) Delhi even though there was stay on his transfer out of UP (E), In view of this, the transfer of ShriKUmar to DGIT (Admn.) Delhi is cancelled.
If senior officers who are expected to be role models for their subordinate officers are rushing to the Tribunals and High Courts after every transfer order and are able to get stay orders, there seems to be something terribly wrong with the transfers.
Why should the Board go out of the way to cause so much of dissatisfaction?
