ITEF-16/2012

Dated: 2.2.2012

28th All India Conference of ITEF

The ITEF, Gujarat Ciorcle has already informed you the details of the programme of the All India Conference. The Host Unit is making all out efforts so that no stone is left unturned in making the Conference a grand success. Along with collection of advertisement for the souvenir, it is also requested to kindly adhere to the number of delegates and observers fixed for your respective circles. Since limited arrangements are being made at the venue, which is at an isolated location and away from Ahmedabad city your all out support and co-operation is required for making the Conference a memorable. This is necessary so as to ensure that the Host unit is not put into unnecessary difficulties and also to ensure a pleasant and comfortable stay of the delegates.

Secretariat Meeting

The Secretariat of the ITEF met on 31st January, 2012 at New Delhi. The draft report of the Secretary General to the all India Conference and statement of accounts for the years 2009-10 and 2010-11 were discussed and accepted. The Secretary General reported the outcome of the JCA meeting held on 24th December, 2011. It was informed that it was decided to meet again after meeting in the respective decision making forums for deciding further course of action. However, the ITGOA revived their agitational programme from 31th January, 2012 and a request was made to the ITEF on the same day to join them. In their circular they have made reference to the assurances of the ITEF leadership in their BGM held at Mumbai on 18.1.2012. Unfortunately without imbibing the spirit of that assurance and also of the decisions taken at the JCA meeting on 24.12.2011, they commenced their agitation without causing any discussion with the ITEF. Even the Secretariat of the Federation could not discuss the issue in the secretariat meeting on 31st of January, 2012, as the request came to us late in the day. As the Conference is only a fortnight away, further course of action will have to be decided after discussion in the ensuing All India Conference.

Cadre Restructuring

The DOPT has cleared the Cadre restructuring proposal. According to our understanding there has been a reduction of 391 posts in the Group A cadres up to the level of DCIT. The proposal in respect of Gr.B&C has already been cleared by the Department of Expenditure and Finance Minister without any changes. Now the cadre restructuring proposal is expected to go to the group of Secretaries and then to the Cabinet for clearance.

28th February All India Strike.

On the call given by the Steering Committee and endorsed by the Confederation of Central Govt. Employees and Workers, the Central govt. employees will be going on a days strike on 28th February, 2012. We, being a part of the Confederation, will have to ensure that the strike elitist total participation of Members of our Federation. All the Circle Secretaries are requested to take every possible step to mobilize the rank and file of the membership prior to commencement of All India Conference slated from 21st Feb. to 24th Feb. 2012 as there won’t be much time left for mobilization after the conference.

The Circle Secretaries are also requested to serve the strike notice on their respective CCIT(CCA) on 10th of February 2012. You are requested to download the copy of strike notice from CHQ site. The notice is already served by the CHQ on the Chairman, CBDT.

Departmental Examination- 2012

In the meeting held with DIT (Exam) on 27th Jan. 2012, it has been decided that the Departmental examination for the year 2012 will be held within the 2nd week of June 2012.

President’s Message on the 60^th year of Income Tax Employees federation

On 10th Feb 2012, we will enter our 60^th year of successful functioning. In Indian culture 60th year is considered an important one. Whatever be its cultural significance, it is no doubt a great event in the history of individuals and institutions. It must be an occasion to remember the sacrifice of those comrades who facing all odds made ITEF to exist and bring it as a mighty and united organization of tax employees. We will salute our flag on 10^th February 2012 and will organize functions in front of all offices, as we have done in all these years on this day to renew our promise to strive our best to make ITEF stronger and more united. This year we will also jointly resolve to fight against the economic policies of Government of India that have made the life of the working people in the country miserable. We shall serve the notice to join the General Strike that is being organized jointly by the Indian working class on 28^th February 2012 against the neo-liberal economic policies. I convey my fraternal greetings to all of you on this occasion.

Despite the bailout packages, the capitalist economies of most of the western country are presently on the verge of collapse. The crisis has brought about eventful political changes. Since the diagnosis of the crises was flawed the impact has refused to be diminished . The UPA II Govt. however wanted to intensity the reforms despite the bitter experience elsewhere. The last session of Parliament was virtually a non-business session, for the Government wanted the FDI in retail deregulation of banking and insurance sector; open up with the pension fund for speculation; enact the PFRDA Bill and bring labour reforms. The entire working class in the country has realized the danger and has decided to resist the reform process with utmost unity and determination irrespective of the ideological differences and political affiliations. All the Central Trade Unions, including INTUC and BMS have joined together and all independent Federations have endorsed the one day General Strike on 28^th February 2012. We normally ensure cent percent participation of tax employees in the General Strike actions. We must overcome the difficulties, which surfaced on the last occasion and ensure our track record intact.

Let us on this day resolve to make 28^th February 2012, eventful and historic in its letter and spirit.

With greetings

Yours fraternally

ITEF/14/2011

Dated: 21/12/2011

Dear Comrades,

At the out set we thank the Circle leadership who strived hard to ensure maximum participation to make the March to Parliament on 25/11/2011 against the PFRDA bill a grand success.

The UPA-II Government has decided to embark upon the enactment of PFRDA Bill in this session of the Parliament. The BJP whose leader Yashwant Sinha was the Chairman of the Standing Committee has also decided to support to the bill. Therefore, it is likely that the bill may come up for consideration of the Parliament today. Com. Basudev Acharya, M.P. Loksabha & leader of the CPI(M) has moved three amendments including the grant of guaranteeing minimum statutory pension (50% of the last pay drawn) to the bill. However, it is unlikely the other political parties who are proponent of neo-liberal economic policies will support the amendment.

The Steering Committee of organizations opposing the PFRDA Bill met yesterday and have decided to call upon all constituents to hold 2-hour demonstrations at all work spots tomorrow i.e. on 22^nd December 2011.

We, therefore request all the Circle General Secretaries to take necessary steps that massive demonstration is organized in front of all offices tomorrow on 22^nd December 2011 at your convenient time against the enactment of PFRDA Bill.

With Greetings,

Yours fraternally,

Ashok B Salunkhe

The venue is an hour journey from the Ahmedabad Airport and Railway Station. In consultation with the Central Headquarters, it has been decided to have our Inaugural session at 3.00PM on 21^st February, 2012 followed by delegates session in the following days upto 4.00PM of 24^th February, 2012.

The task we have undertaken, needless to say, is of big challenge. The Central Headquarters have taken steps to ease our burden by requesting all the circles to collect advertisement tariffs for the souvenir. We request all the Circle General Secretaries to strive hard to achieve the target fixed by the Central Headquarters for collecting the tariffs. It will help us to make the conference a memorable one as also to provide a comfortable and pleasant time for all the delegates during their stay in Gujarat.

Sir/Madam,

Subject: Holding of DPCs for promotion-reg

The issue of timely holding of DPCs was discussed by the Chairman, CBDT with the representatives of ITEF in a meeting held on 04.11.2011. Since delayed holding of DPCs leads to delay in promotions that creates a lot of demotivation to the employees, the undersigned is directed to convey to all the Cadre controlling Authorities that DPCs for regular promotions to fill up the vacancies in their respective charges should be held immediately.

In case I is not possible to hold DPCs for regular promotions on account of injunction/ specific order of Curt, DPC for promotions on adhoc basis should be held in full conformity with the relevant directions issued by the DOT.

Your faithfully

Cir. No. 13 Dated: 25.11.2011.

Dear Comrades,

You must have come across a circular issued by the All India SC-ST Employees Welfare Federation to their members, which has also been placed on their website. It has been alleged that ITEF and all other service Associations/Unions have failed to protect the interest of the SC-ST employees of the Department and have asked the SC/ST employees to resign from the primary membership of Associations/unions. In sofar as ITEF is concerned, we must tell with all emphasis at our command that the said allegation is untrue especially the one that states that ITEF is opposed to the formation and functioning of SC-ST Welfare Associations. The ITEF firmly believes that the reservation policy advocated by the political leaders in our country and enunciated in the Constitution was not only a right initiative but also a progressive step to bring about upliftment of certain segments of Indian society who were oppressed for centuries. We have endeavored to ensure that what is decided by the Govt. of India i.e. the political authorities are implemented by the bureaucracy. Our functionaries at all levels have abided by this policy. We consider that resignation of any individual from the primary membership of ITEF will weaken the organization and will consequently strengthen the hands of the authorities.

ITEF is a trade union and functions democratically. We are proud of the fact that despite divergent views, it could over the years bring into existence a monolithic movement of employees below the level of Officers and functions as such for several decades now. We have not and we could not afford to make any distinction or discrimination in the name of Caste, Religion, Region, Language, Gender etc. In its development as a militant and strong Trade Union movement of the employees, immense contribution has been made by all sections of employees and undoubtedly the SC & ST employees have played a great and significant role. The SC-ST employees of the Department have both in the past and presently adorn leadership positions in the ITEF.

It is the sense of belonging that integrates the members of a trade union and makes it the binding force. It should be our endeavour to eradicate any misgivings be it real or perceived for we cannot afford to have even a slight disfavor from any of our members. We therefore appeal to our leaders and cadres at all levels to meet the employees especially those belonging to SC-ST , explain the basic tenets of ITEF as a democratic Trade Union and ensure that our unity is not disrupted through desertion, dissention or disinformation.

Yours fraternally.

Cir. No. 12 Dated 5.11.2011.

Dear Comrades,

The representatives of ITEF were called by the Chairman, CBDT for a meeting on 4.11.2011 to discuss the following two issues.

(i) Hiring of DEOs

(ii) Outsourcing Data entry functions in the CPCs

ITEF was represented by Com. K.P Rajgopal, President, Com. Ashok Salunkhe, Secretary General, Com Hari Om, Vice President, Com. Yeshwant Purohit, Jt. Secretary and Com. Rupak Sarkar, Finance Secretary. From the Official side, The Chairman, Member (P &V), Member (L), DG (System), DG(HRD) CIT (Coord) and other officials participated in the meeting on behalf of the official side..

It was informed that the Official side has accepted the following suggestions of the sub-committee in the matter of hiring of DEOs:

1. As a first option, the entire TAs/Sr TAs would be deployed to carry out all the departmental functions including typing work wherever required.

2. Qualified candidates would be recruited from the concerned Regional) employment exchanges to fill up the existing vacancies in the cadre of Stenographers purely on a temporary basis by the concerned authority and ITEF will provide all possible assistance for this.

3. In case both the above measures do not yield the desired result within the next two months other steps to temporarilyfill up the vacancies will be taken.

As you are aware, “outsourcing is one of the means adopted by the Government to reduce the staff strength in Govt. offices. It is nothing but sheer exploitation of the acute unemployment existing in the society. We know the volume of data entry work in the Department would come down over the years, once the e-filing gets momentum. The present proposal to contractorise the data entry work is to take advantage of the shortage of manpower. The shortage has been purposely created. During the nine years when the ban on recruitment was in vogue, thousands of Group C and D posts were abolished whereas not a single post of Gr.A was touched though the Govt. order on optimization covered all Groups including Group A. Besides, during the same period number of posts in Group A was added to the sanctioned strength despite the Government’s inability to fill up even the existing Group A posts. The proposal to hire DEO on contract basis is said to be to combat the situation emerging from the non availability of skilled stenographers in the market. Had the cadre composition been decided upon as per the recommendation of the 6^th CPC this problem could have been addressed long time back. The cadre restructuring proposal which is now pending decision of the Government for several years, as you all know has identified the shortage of staff and has suggested remedial measures. Once the Govt. gives its seal of approval to the proposal, the shortage of staff would be effectively tackled. The contractorisation proposal if agreed upon will only further delay the final decision on the cadre restructuring of the Department. We must not allow this to happen as it would ultimately render the regular employees presently working as Tax Assistants, Senior Tax assistants etc. redundant and they would be sidelined in the days to come. Serious efforts must be undertaken to root out the menace. Only through a stiff resistance we would be able to save our job and employment. We must unleash an intensified campaign amongst our members to bring home the danger ahead in this regard. It is a long drawn out battle but we will succeed for we must. Wherever vacancies are enormous, the Circles should ask the local administration to resort to the second option mentioned above purely as a temporary measure.

In the matter of CPC, as you all know, the Board did not bide by the terms of agreement reached earlier. In Bangalore INFOSYs was entrusted with the entire functioning of the CPC. Despite several rounds of discussion, the CPC set up did not agree to deploy departmental personnel in the CPC. On several occasions, we had pointed out that the Service Provider must not be permitted to do the jobs which are supposed to be done by the Department. Processing of returns has been almost handed over to Infosys. No review was undertaken by the Department despite large number of complaints received from the tax paying public. Our Comrades in Karnataka has put up stiff resistance in so far as lifting the returns are concerned. Two more CPCs have come up, one at Pune and another atManesuar (NW region) The Department wanted to operationalise it in the same manner as was the case of Bangalore. No agreement could be reached during the discussion on 4^th November,2011. We would be compelled to launch countrywide struggles if no settlement is reached in the matter. The members of the Sectt. Have been informed of the failure of negotiation in the matter. It will take appropriate decision shortly.

March to Parliament on 25^th November, 2011. As intimated to you in our last circular dated 29.9.2011, the ITEF will have to muster the participation of atleast 1000 members in the March to Parliament which is being jointly organised by Confederation, All India State Govt. Employees Federation, BSNL, Bank Employees unions, Defence Employees. In order to make the programme a grand success, the Circle General Secretaries are requested to ensure the participation of the respective number of comrades fixed for each Circle..

XXVIII All India Conference at Mehsana (Gujarat). You have been informed by our earlier circular as also by a letter from the Gujarat circle about the preparation for the ensuing 28^th All India Conference to be held at Mehsana. The Gujarat Circle has also sent sufficient number of Advertisement tariffs to enable you to raise funds for the Conference. it should be the endeavor of all of us to help them host the Conference. Therefore you are once again requested to ensure that the amount fixed by the Secretariat for each circle is raised through collection of Advertisement for the Souvenir and directly senT to the General Secretary, ITEF, Gujarat Circle. Since funds are required even for the preliminary & preparatory work , the funds collected may kindly be sent to the Gujarath Circle immediately..

With greetings,

Yours fraternally.,

AGITATONAL PROGRAMME CHALKED OUT FROM 29^TH SEPTEMBER,

2011 ON DEPARTMENTAL DEMANDS STANDS DEFERRED.

Dear Comrade,

The quarterly review meeting with the Chairman, CBDT and representatives of ITEF and ITGOA was held today at 11AM in the Chairman's Chamber. The outcome of the meeting on the basis of which the agitational programme stands deferred is given below.

Demand No. 1 – Stop hiring of DEOs in place of stenographers.

Demand No. 2- Honour the agreement and implement the assurances given on the functioning of the CPCs.

These two issues were discussed at length. Both sides stuck to their stand and finally the Chairman and Member (P&V) agreed to our suggestion to form an official Committee to sort out the differences and recommend ways and means within a month. The Committee will be headed by Shri Manoj Joshi DI(HRD) with three members from ITEF viz. Com. K.P. Rajagopal, President, Com. Ashok B Salunkhe, Secretary General and Com. Rupak Sarkar, Finance Secretary. Till then the status-quo of the two issues will be maintained.

Demand No. -6. Implementation of Cadre Restructuring-

These two items have been referred to the above Committee to finalise and suggest to the Board for further action.

Meanwhile we have requested the DG (Admn) to release the answer key of all papers of 2011 Examination for our verification and necessary action which has been agreed upon.

Demand No. 13- Tarang Telecommunication Scheme. During the discussion it was pointed out by us that inspite of lapse of one year, the service provider has not updated the scheme. On the part of the Department also, inspite of providing sufficient extra land line connection not even a single extra one has been installed in any places. Especially in guest houses, canteen, staff room etc. still only PABX Extension are available. We have been asked to report such matters to the CIT C&S. All the Circle General Secretaries are requested to bring to our notice the shortcomings in the Tarang Scheme and whether sufficient numbers of land line connections have been provided in the places where it is intended to be provided as per the instant instructions.

In view of the above, the available members of the Secretariat decided to defer the agitational programme. The Secretariat profusely thank all the Circles and General members for preparing themselves for the agitational programme.

With greetings,

Yours fraternally,

Dear Comrade,

Agitation on departmental issues

We had placed on our website the details of the working committee meeting held on 25^th August, 2011 at New Delhi and the decisions thereon vide circular No.7. The Central Working Committee had unanimously decided to embark upon a series of agitational programmes to achieve the long pending departmental demands. The Charter of demands and the agitational programmes were also intimated through the above Circular. It is therefore imperative on the parts of all of us to ensure that the agitational programmes are carried out in totality in every circles so as to mount enough pressure on the CBDT to bring about resolution of our pending demands. As we had pointed out in the Working Committee meeting the department is planning to hire DEOs in lieu of Stenographers, which if allowed will be a big set back for our fight against outsourcing and will also adversely effect our career prospects. There is every possibility that the people thus hired can also be employed to carry out other work pertaining to non-gazetted employees jeopardizing our own survival in the department. It is therefore necessary that all circles should ensure that this scheme is not allowed to be implemented. It is once again called up on to ensure that no stone is left unturned to ensure that all the agitational programmes are made a grand success . Since some of the Circles have requested to postpone the Dharna programme slated for 5^th October 2011 on account of festival the same has been deferred to 13^th of October, 2011. All Circles are once again requested to carryout the agitational programmes communicated in totality.

CONFEDERATION PROGRAMME OF ACTION

We have already placed on the website the circulars issued by the Confederatrion of Central Govt. employees and Workers, on the PFRDA Bill and other common demands. Kindly ensure that State level Conventions are held and March to Raj Bhavan be organized by the end of September, 2011, if not already done. The Campaign material on the PFRDA bill is also available on the website. The Memorandum may be downloaded and may be distributed to all members and ensure that signature is obtained from not only our members but also from family, friends and general public. This work needs to be done without further loss of time.

The Circle Secretaries are requested to download the programme of action and Charter of Demands from our website and do the needful in the matter.

Dear Comrade,

You are aware that the "Examination Rules" notified by the Board for the year 2011 prohibits the use of Calculator by the candidates in the Examination. Upon representation from various circles, we took up the matter with the Chairman and the same was subjected to discussion in the quarterly meeting with the Chairman held on 20^th July, 2011. The Chairman was of the opinion that calculators should be allowed since the same is being used for the day to day work also. The official version contained in the minutes of that meeting circulated by the Board vide F No. B-12020/2/2011-Ad.IX dated 17.08.2011 is as under:

"The staff side demanded that calculators should be allowed in the exam.

The Chairman opined that in view of present scenario of technology upgradation, the demand could be considered justified as it would test their skill in the use of such gadgets. He asked DIT (Exam) to examine this issue and make appropriate proposal."

We are yet to hear from the Directorate whether it has got the proposal approved and instructions issued to the field formations. Meanwhile you may inform the candidates that they may use the calculator in the Departmental Examination wherever necessary.

With greetings,

Yours fraternally,
