Dear Comrade,
Due to unavoidable circumstances, we could not bring out our monthly news letter VIBRANT VOICE since a year or so. The Office bearers and Committee members express our sincere apologies, with a promise to rededicate their services to all the promote officers in the department. As you are aware, the inordinate delay in decision taking by the Board, has resulted in delay in promotions to the cadre of JCs IT/ACsIT and down below the ranks. The ITGOA has requested the Board to go ahead with adhoc promotions pending decisions from the Courts, which may take some more time to finalise.
OUR MAJOR DEMANDS ARE
(a) PROMOTION OF DCsIT TO JCsIT
(b) PROMOTION OF ITOs TO ACsIT
(c) DIRECTIONS TO CCIT(CCA) TO EFFECT CONSEQUENTIAL PROMOTIONS THERE UPON
The present scenario was discussed threadbare in Secretariat Meeting held on O9-10-2011 at New Delhi and it was unanimously decided that a final ultimatum be given to the Chairman, CBDT to finalise the promotions latest by 25-10-2011. Further, as Cadre Restructuring was also pending for more than 2 Years, Board was to be asked to implement the same at the earliest. In case of non grant of promotions by the stipulated date, ITGOA will be constrained to adopt the path of agitation* as given below:-
From 25-10-2011 onwards | i. Boycott / Protest before Chairman & Members of CBDT, on their visits. ii. Non-cooperation like Non-submission of statistical reports, dossier reports, DO Letters etc. iii. Only Time-barring work will be attended to and artificial deadlines like 30-11-2011 for scrutiny will not be adhered to. |
On 3·11-2011 and thereafter | i. Black Badge day & in stations with CCIT (CCA) Candle light march, by our members. ii. None of our members will participate in any Survey action including TDS Survey / Inspection/ Verification / Study or by whatever name called and Recovery Surveys. |
On 15-11-2011 | Mass Walk-out by our members at 2 PM |
*The agitation will be intensified thereafter, if needed.
The promotion of ACsIT would result in promotions down below cadres, the ITGOA unanimously decided in the said Secretariat Meeting that ITEF, our partner in JCA, must also be invited, either to join us in the agitation or to support us in our just cause.
In the circumstances, we appeal to all our members to participate in the agitational programmes to achieve our demands.
LONG LIVE ITGOA, LONG LIVE JCA, LONG LIVE ITEF
Fraternally yours
(K.E.RAJAN )
GENERAL SECRETARY, ITGOA, KARNATAKA & GOA UNIT, BANGALORE.

ITGOA / Circular/2011-12 dated 10/10/2011
“ To,
All Members of ITGOA, (Through General Secretary of Units of ITGOA)
Comrades,
'"We will either find a way or make one ”
(Hannibal, Carthaginian General (247-182 BC)
The frustration of our members due to inordinate delay in promotions mainly ITO to ACIT has reached its pinnacle. CBDT has been apprised of our members predicament vide this office letter dated 21-9-2011 which was enclosed with the circular dated 22-O9-2011. Thereafter, during the Meeting of Chairman-CBDT with JCA held on 27-9-2011 and on follow-up meetings numbering 5, the need for timely action was highlighted to the Chairman & Member (P) by the CHQ leaders in the presence of other members. Despite all these, there is hardly any positive development and Board appears to be dragging its feet, without taking any decision even with respect to Ad-hoc promotion and this is a very sorry state of affairs.
The above situation was discussed threadbare in Secretariat Meeting held on 09-10-2011 at Delhi which was attended by members of 11 Units and 3 Units sending written opinion/suggestion, wherein it was unanimously decided that a final ultimatum be given to the Chairman-CBDT to finalise the promotions latest by 25-10-2011. Further, as Cadre Restructuring was also pending for more than 2 Years, Board was to be asked to implement the same at the earliest. In case of non-grant of promotions by the stipulated date, ITGOA will be constrained to adopt the path of agitation and detailed program was also chalked-out, which is as per the letter to the Chairman-CBDT (copy enclosed). Further, as the promotions to the grade of ACIT would percolate down, resulting in consequential promotions down below and Cadre-Restructuring would affect all the grades of officers & staff, it was unanimously decided in the said Secretariat Meeting that ITEF our partner in JCA must also be invited, either to join us in the agitation or at least to support us in our just cause. Copy of letter to ITEF is enclosed for information.
All Units of ITGOA are required to serve a copy of the letter given to the Chairman-CBDT, on their respective CCIT (CCA) along with a notice, for carrying out the agitational program, in their regions. ITGOA (CHQ) will be pursuing the matter of inordinate delay in promotions and implementation of Cadre Restructuring, highlighting the huge vacancies on one hand and acute stagnation in the grade of ITO on the other hand, with the Revenue Secretary and Hon’ble Finance Minister.
Meanwhile, all the Units are requested to hold as many Lunch Hour Demonstrations for apprising the members about the Board’s indifference and ensure that the agitational program are executed with full vigour and enthusiasm. This alone can force the nonchalant C.B.D.T, to take positive
actions to fulfill our just demand for timely promotions.
ITGOA ZINDABAD ; OUR UNITY ZINDABAD ; ITGOA ZINDABAD
Appeal to all members, reiterated
ITGOA (CHQ) would like to reiterate its appeal as contained in our earlier circular dated 22-9-2011 i.e. ITGOA sincerely feels that all litigation ultimately causes delay in promotion, which is self-defeating. Hence, it is our humble appeal to all members that even if litigation is essential, members
are requested to desist from bringing any stay on promotions.
Yours comradely,
Sd/-
