NEW DELHI, FEB 01, 2017: MIFFED by the raw treatment given to the CBEC officers by the GST Council, a delegation of IRS officeres met the MoS (PMO), Dr Jitendra Singh, and sought his intervention by Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) for the clearance of backlog in promotions.
In a memorandum submitted by the members of delegation, it was pointed out that around 450 posts of Joint Commissioner / JAG level are lying vacant, but there are no officers eligible to be promoted because Recruitment Rules prescribe minimum residency of 5 years at Deputy Secretary level as eligibility criteria. Officers up to 2007 batch have already been promoted and therefore, they requested for relaxation of 9 months for gaining eligibility for the officers of 2017 batch who have been left out. The members of delegation sought Dr Jitendra Singh’s intervention so that the DoPT could take a holistic view of circumstances and grant relaxation for promotion to JAG / JC-IT.
Prominent IRS officers who led the delegation included Rajesh Menon from Mumbai, Anantharaman Aiyer from Delhi, C.K. Singh and B.K. Singh.
