                         DEMONSTARTION, PROTEST, WALK OUT

                                      AGITATION FROM 12-07-2012

Dear comrades,

To protest against the inaction of CBDT towards our demands, a day long MASS DHARNA was successfully staged on 8^th May, in all CCIT/CIT stations. As a result, the CBDT held a meeting with Central JCA leaders on 30^th May 2012.  The outcome of the meeting was not positive on most of the issues. No sincere efforts are forthcoming, even on the issues agreed upon by the predecessors.  No assurances for time-bound and firm actions are given.  Thus, the meeting was a blow to our legitimate expectations.  In the meantime, the CBDT rubbed salt on our wounds under this disgusting fashion:  

1. It cancelled 1 week Foreign training (in Malaysia) of 160 Newly promoted ACsIT citing austerity measures.  While no such austerity check is applied to Advanced Mid-career training of CsIT & Addl CsIT in USA for 3 weeks. 
2. The promotion order of ACs (of 2006 batch) to the cadre of DCs was made prospective instead of retrospective effect from 1-1-2011 (as was done in the past) causing heavy pecuniary loss and endangering their career.
3. Surreptitious efforts to amend IRS Recruitment Rules 1988 for introducing ‘Year of Induction’ as distinct from ‘Year of Promotion’ aimed at ensuring extinction of promotees in any cadre above DCIT.

In this sickening situation, the Central JCA which met on 25^th June 2012 noted the callous attitude of the Board in not resolving our issues and keeping in view the discontentment & despair of our Comrades, it has been decided by the Central JCA to embark upon following agitational programme :

On 12-07-2012	Lunch hour demonstration in all CCIT and CIT stations and adopting of resolution seeking the intervention of the Revenue Secretary in the matter
From 13-07-2012	Non-preparation and Non-submission of Statistical reports to any higher authorities AND Black Flag and Big Banner Demonstration during visit of  Chairman or Member (P&V) to any station or office.
On 19-07-2012	Half day walk-out ( i.e post lunch)
On 30-07-2012 & 31-07-2012	Protest by wearing Black Badge, Preferably black dress
From  01-08-2012	Not working beyond office hours and  and not working on holidays.  Not allowing outsiders to work in office
On 23-08-2012	Walk out from office for the whole day.

All members are called upon carry out the above agitational  programme successfully in all places.  Only with such a united struggle we can make  CBDT to attend to our demands. The 16 point  Common  Charter of demands is printed below for ready reference of members.  In case of any doubts/difficulties the members are requested to call either of the conveners.
