Sub:- Re-organisation of Customs Formations - Reg. *** Respected Secretary General, We have some serious apprehensions with respect to bifurcation of Customs and manning the same by Customs. As you are aware there is proposal to transfer all the customs functions hitherto dealt by Central Excise formations to Customs formations. In this connection, please refer to the DO letter F.NO:450/109/2017-CusIV dated 27/10/2017 where in it was mentioned that proposal to IFU for reorganization of customs formations was stuck up at IFU as IFU is treating diversion of posts from Customs to GST and vice versa as abolition and creation of posts. Further, in another letter from Board, the list of functions being performed by Central Excise officers was given and in that deputation to SEZ, manning of minor ports etc were also mentioned as customs functions presently handled by Central Excise officers. In view of the above, there are lot of apprehensions expressed by the members of this association that about the actual proposal of Board for reorganization of Customs formations. The following doubts were expressed by our members Whether the sanctioned strength of Customs preventive formations will be treated as sanctioned strength of formation under Central Excise / Central Tax or sanctioned strength of customs formations? Whether the central excise officers working in these customs formations will be treated as officers on deputation posts or regular posts of central excise / central tax? Whether deputations to SEZ or other customs functions like airports will be restricted to only customs officers or extended to all central tax officers? Whether the reduction in strength of central tax posts to customs will affect the promotional chances of Inspectors to the cadre of Superintendents or not? Whether Board is also being bifurcated as Central Tax and Customs? It is also learnt that Kerala Superintendents Association is agitating the issue as the Customs Preventive Commissionerate at Kerala was merged with major customs formations. Whether present customs preventive formations will also be merged with major custom houses in future? Whether there would be any role at all for central tax officers in customs functions in future?** With regard to Re-organization Customs Formations by transferring the Customs Work presently being attending by Central Excise formations w.e.f. 01.01.2018, the representation given by the AIACEGEO to the Board, which is self explanatory, may be looked into. It is requested that our Association may also take up the issue with the Board as the issue is likely to have effect on the promotional aspects of Inspectors Cadre. I am also enclosing the Order given by CAT, Madras Bench for your information please. Comradely yours (R.P.P.KUMAR) GENERAL SECRETARY

Notice for the XXth Convention of AICEIA

Updates on Various Issues

A delegation comprising of Com. Anupam Neeraj, President, Com. Rananjay Pratap Singh, Liaison Secretary and the undersigned, visited Delhi & Mumbai to attend a series of official & organizational meetings on various issues.

On 14.09.2017, a meeting of Joint Action Committee (JAC) of all three Inspector-based Associations of CBEC [i.e. AICEIA, AIACEGEO and IRS (IDT) OA] was held at New Maharashtra Sadan, New Delhi, where various career related issues and pay related matters were discussed and joint memorandums were finalised. Later in the afternoon, the delegates of all these three Associations of the JAC visited Sh. Pon Radhakrishnan, Minister of State (Revenue), Ministry of Finance, Govt. of India at his residence at 16, Talkatora Road, New Delhi. The meeting was held in a very cordial atmosphere. The Office-Bearers of Associations apprised the MoS about their views regarding smooth implementation of GST & also intimated him about the expectations of Cadre in GST. The MoS assured of all possible measures for successful augmentation of GST and taking care of concerns of Cadre in GST.

On 15.09.2017, the delegation of AICEIA separately visited various authorities at CBEC, North Block, New Delhi and reminded the authorities about the pending issues with them. Further, a meeting of the Office-Bearers of JAC was also held with the Member (A), CBEC, Govt. of India. Dear comrades, due to non-supply of information on ICT by various Branches of AICEIA on time, the delegation could not apprise the authorities about ICT issue in full details. The facts, figures and comments of the Branches might have helped the delegation more in its endeavour but, it is really unfortunate, disheartening & disappointing that most of the Branches failed to supply the requisite data on time. Only Kerala, Rajkot, Hyderabad, Guntur, Shillong and Aurangabad Circle/Branches supplied us the data on time.

It is also pertinent to mention here that now the CBEC, as evident from the experience of its working style will call for these data from the CCAs which will not only delay the process but also give emphasis on the views of authority. We here again request our Circles and Branches to compile the data fast and also keep watch on the submissions of the concerned CCAs, if they are asked for by the CBEC. Despite all these hurdles, the All India Body is trying its best to get this issue resolved as early as possible.

Further, as decided vide Circular No. 01/2017 dated 05.09.2017 of the COC, the 2nd meeting of the Coordination Committee of Associations in the CBIC was held on 16.09.2017 at New Customs House, Ballard Estate, Mumbai. Com. Abhishek Singh, J. S. (West) and Com. Amit Kumar Jain, President, AICEIA Mumbai Circle also participated in the meeting. Total 43 delegates from thirteen Associations representing Group A, B & C staffs of CBIC participated in the meeting and it was unanimously decided to observe "DEMANDS DAY" on 04.10.2017 by holding lunch-hour meetings in all Headquarters offices and thereafter submitting the Charter of Demands to various Authorities, by the units of the Organisations and their All India Bodies, to be followed up by sending of the Charter of Demands by the individual members to all concerned authorities through various channels eg. twitter, whatsapp, mails, local press etc. We hereby appeal all our branches/circles to meet all the participating associations at branch/circle level and start preparing for the Demand Day right now, as we have little time in our hand.

Our submissions before Board-
