Points given by Association for discussion in the JCM held on 29.03.2012

F.No. AICEIA/RJT/1/2008

Date: 28.03.2012

To,

The Additional Commissioner (P&V),

Central Excise & customs,

Rajkot.

Sir,

Sub: J.C.M. to be held on 29.03.2012.

Kindly refer to your letter issued from F.No. I/22-35/2008-09/ADM dated 22.03.2012 regarding holding of J.C.M. and submission of points for discussion.

Sir, the association and its members are obliged to the managment for scheduling the Joint Consultative Machinery meeting. The following points / grievances are submitted herewith for discussion in the meeting:

1. The repair work of toilets in the Hq. building is taken up by the CPWD and same is going on in a very slow speed. The officers and specially the female officers are facing hardship. It is requested to take up the matter with the CPWD to speed up the repair work of the bath rooms.

2. Pure drinking water facility is not available in the Hq. office. Most of the water coolers are out of order and the R.O. systems are not in working conditions. This is a great threat to the health of the officers.

3. Proper parking of vehicles both 2 wheelers and four wheelers is not being done/maintained.

4. Basic amenities in the field/ lower formations mainly at Central Excise/service tax Jamnagar and Gandhidham, like proper office, sitting facilities/ space, furniture etc are not available and therefore action should be taken to improve the situation. Initiative must be taken for construction pf govt. quarters at Jamnagar and Gandhidham.

5. The criterion for sensitive and non sensitive charge is public interaction and work of assessment. After mandatory filing of return electronically the public interaction is finished/ NIL in case of service tax ranges. Hence it is requested that the service tax ranges may be considered as non sensitive. The Service Tax Division of Rajkot Commissionerate is working with sanctioned strength and working strength of 2002. There is huge work load on each officers working in this division, which can be understood by comparing the data like No. of Services, No. of Assessees, No. of adjudication, Revenue Figures, No. of Refund, No. of cases of recovery etc. in the year 2002 and in the year 2012. Against this huge revenue realization and around 25000 taxpayers the staff deployed in this division is only 34 personal (Supdt. 11+ Inspector 14). On account of acute shortage of staff in this division each officer is mentally and physically stressed. Each staff members is having additional charge. Looking to this position it is requested to kindly make the tenure of posting in Service Tax for 2 years and also the posting in service tax ranges may be considered as non sensitive.

6. The control room duty may be abolished. The officer posted in control room is merely preparing the visitors pass which is wastage of manpower. In modern time of latest communication facilities there is no requirement of control room.

7. Any other point raised during the time of meeting.

Yours faithfully,

(Dilip J. Pandya)

Secretary
