CBDT starts off New Year with a royale goof-up!

MAKING mistakes is humane but committing 'this sort of' goof-up is certainly not pardonable. Only on Wednesday evening the North Block had issued the appointment letter of Mr A J Majumdar as new Member of CBDT but Thursday brought him tonnes of embarrassment when his name figured prominently in the posting-cum-transfer order of CCITs! How can Ad VI be so dumb or let's say the CBDT topbrass which approved the panel could be so callous to the fact that the name of a Member of the Board was allowed to be typed alongwith CCITs' order? Is it true that our system produces only human machine and kills keenness to take initiatives? 'The Insider' also heard that if one is known for taking too many bold initiatives, at some stage, his hard work also comes under the scrutiny of Vigilance! Even if we sidestep these issues for the time being, the CBDT should come out with a quick corrigendum, and accountability must be fixed for such a goof-up so early in the New Year. It is more because the morning shows the way for the day ahead!
