The Chairperson

Central Board of Direct Taxes, North Block, New Delhi

Respected  Madam,

Sub: Injustice to promotee  officers in the recent DCIT promotion orders- Request to undo-reg

Ref: DCIT promotion orders nos 126 & 193  of 2012

Kindly refer to the above.

Immediately after assuming charge as Chairperson, you took positive steps to redress grievances of IT fraternity. While appreciating your efforts in this regard, we would like to bring to your kind notice, the gross injustice to promotee officers in the recent  DCIT promotion order.

As per procedures followed by the CBDT, the promotes (PRs) equalling number  to Direct Recruits are promoted as DCsIT in a particular batch. For this purpose the DRs and PRS are allotted civil code no starting from 001 & 501 respectively and intermingled with each other and promotion order is issued up to last DR of the batch. Remaining are called as leftover batch and promoted with DRs of next batch.   

In the year 2007, 128 DRs Joined NADT, out of whom 6 six resigned before completion of training and 2 resigned after joining the field.  Thus, presently there are only 120 DRs of 2007 batch.   In 2007  batch, there were 172 promotees out of which 38 have now retired.

In the recent promotion order no 193 dated 17-10-2012 of 2007 batch ,  civil  codes have been allotted to 128 Promotee officers including those retired.  However in respect of Direct Recruits,  following 8 resigned officers have not been allotted civil code numbers. 

Sl No	Rank No	Name of the officer	Resignation date	Civil code No. that should have been allotted
1	3	PALLAVI AKRUTI	27-08-2009	07003
2	6	SAMPADA MEHTA	29-08-2008	07006
3	10	VIDISHA MEHTA	14-12-2009	07010
4	29	UGALE SHEETAL SHIVAJI RAO	27-08-2009	07029
5	55	KHUSBOO GOEL	29-08-2008	07055
6	89	K. VIJAYENDRA PADNIAN	29-08-2008	07089
7	96	SAROJ KUMAR	29-08-2008	07096
8	108	PANKAJ KUMAR SINGH	29-08-2008	07108

If above 8 names are also considered, 8 more Promotee officers will be promoted as DCIT along with 2007 batch DRs.   

Apart from the above,  2  following ITOs  who were not promoted in 2007 as ACsIT have also been allotted civil code numbers, thereby denying promotion to  two more actually promoted ACsIT.

Sl. No. in  order no  141	Name of the Officer	Code Allotted	Remarks
96	Yashpal Chawla	07596	He refused promotion in the year 2008 and was actually  promoted as ACIT in 2011 batch i.e March, 2012.
115	P.Anil Kumar	07615	He had resigned as ITO in the year 2007. He was not even in service when DPC (based on which  order no.141 dt. 27-10-2008 was passed)was conducted

                                                                                                                  

In the same way injustice has been done to promotee officers in 2006 batch ( DCIT Promotion order No 126 of 2012)  also by not allotting following 8 DRs of 2006 batch who resigned after joining NADT. 

1	MICHELRAJ R.	60TH BATCH	28/02/2007
2	ABHISHEK DEV	60TH BATCH	16/08/2007(FN)
3	BISHNU CHARAN MALLICK	60TH BATCH	16/08/2007(FN)
4	YASHWANT KUMAR	60TH BATCH	16/08/2007(FN)
5	DR. V. SHANMUGAM	60TH BATCH	16/08/2007(FN)
6	VIVEK KUMAR	60TH BATCH	16/08/2007(FN)
7	VYASAN R.	60TH BATCH	27/11/2007(AN)
8	VIJAY KUMAR	60TH BATCH	07/12/2007(AN)

Further, following two ITOs who did not accept promotion/ deceased before date of DPC were allotted Civil code numbers.

Name of the Officer	Code Allotted	Remarks
D. Gopla Krishna Murthy	06514	Since deceased before the date of DPC
Sudha Narayan	06540	She  refused promotion and is still an ITO in our region

In all, due to above two errors, 20 promotee officers have been denied promotion due to the mistakes in both the orders referred above.  Most of them are ITGOA members of Karnataka & Goa unit. This has caused severe resentment among them. They may be de-motivated if they are unnecessarily made to knock the doors of courts seeking justice. Hence we humbly request your  kindself ensure justice by conducting review DPC and promoting them along with respective DR batches and oblige. 

Yours faithfully
