Cir.M-12/12-15/ Dated:
17th August,2012
Dear Comrades,
The Central JCA
thanks all the members for making the ongoing agitation of non-cooperation a
grand success and this has created sufficient
pressure on the Board for a genuine re-thinking on the 16-point Charter of
Demand. The positive attitude of the present Chairperson and Members of CBDT
has resulted in the constitution of an interim Committee with two Member-CBDT
to examine the issues raised by the JCA and suggest actions to be taken on
those issues to the Chairman CBDT within a fortnight. Members may recall that
it was after a sustained agitation in 2006, the system of Quarterly Review
Meeting with Chairman and Bi-monthly meeting with the Member (P) was
introduced. But of late, this system was less & less effective, because of
Short tenure of the incumbents-in-office, Contradictory stands taken by them,
Delay in circulating the minutes, Non-monitoring of implementation of the
decision by the subordinate Offices etc. Further, the meetings per-se was delayed
beyond 6 months. It was in this context that we demanded a Permanent Grievance
Redressal Machinery of sorts to resolve our problems and grievances. The
present Chairperson and Members of the CBDT have agreed in principle for
setting up of such a Mechanism.The above Interim Committee is mandated by the
terms of reference, to suggest ways and means for setting up of a Permanent
Mechanism to resolve our issues. Apart from discussing and negotiating our
issues with the Committee we will be suggesting the framework for such a
mechanism for a smooth resolution of our issues in that forum.
Comrades, we are aware that most of demands listed
in the Charter of Demands cannot have an across-the table solution. The present
situation has arisen due to non-implementation and insincere attitude of the
authorities at all levels in resolving our issues. With the present change in
the attitude on the part of the Chairperson and Members of CBDT, we are sure
that the situation will change and there will be sincere efforts to pursue our
issues with various departments and authorities. Therefore, Central JCA has
decided to suspend the present agitation forthwith to bring about a conducive
atmosphere for negotiation with the Interim Committee and the CBDT.
Nevertheless we must always be prepared to take-out our weapon of agitation
from the arsenal, in case the conducive atmosphere created by our gesture fails
to clinch the issues.
While recording our sincere gratitude to all the
members of JCA and leadership of State JCAs for bringing the necessary
compulsion on the authorities, through their sincere efforts by making the agitation
100% successful, all the members are requested to bring back normalcy to the
working atmosphere at the earliest, such as to exhibit our sincerity in
sustaining the good-will atmosphere.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally,
Sd/- Sd/-
