FAQ ON RECRUITMENT RULES BY DOPT.

Modi's press statement on 25th January. Was along with Obama during the joint media interaction

Mr. President and members of the media,

It is a great pleasure and privilege to welcome back President Obama and the First Lady in India.

Mr. President, we are honoured that you accepted our invitation to be the Chief Guest for our Republic Day and I know how busy you are.

It is special because on this day we celebrate the values shared by the world`s two largest democracies.

You are also the first United States President to visit India twice in Office.

It reflects the transformation in our relationship. It shows your deep personal commitment to this partnership.

It tells us that our two nations are prepared to step forward firmly to accept the responsibility of this global partnership - for our two countries and for shaping the character of this century.

The promise and potential of this relationship has never been in doubt. This is a natural global partnership. It has become even more relevant in the digital age. It is needed even more in our world of far-reaching changes and widespread turmoil.

The success of this partnership is important for our progress and for advancing peace, stability and prosperity around the world.

From the turn of this century, we have begun transforming our relationship. But, we have to convert a good start into lasting progress.

This requires translating our vision into sustained action and concrete achievements.

Mr. President, in the last few months, I see new excitement and confidence in this relationship. I see renewed energy in our engagement. I thank you for your leadership and for setting the tone last September, when I visited White House.

The civil nuclear agreement was the centrepiece of our transformed relationship, which demonstrated new trust. It also created new economic opportunities and expanded our option for clean energy. In the course of the past four months, we have worked with a sense of purpose to move it forward. I am pleased that six years after we signed our bilateral agreement, we are moving towards commercial cooperation, consistent with our law, our international legal obligations, and technical and commercial viability.

President Obama has also assured me of strong U.S. efforts in support of India`s full membership of the four international export control regimes at the earliest.

Today, we have also decided to take our growing defence cooperation to a new level. We have agreed, in principle, to pursue co-development and co-production of specific advanced defence projects. These will help upgrade our domestic defence industry; and expand the manufacturing sector in India.

We will also explore cooperation in other areas of advanced defence technologies.

We have renewed our Defence Framework Agreement. We will deepen our cooperation on maritime security.

Terrorism remains a principal global threat. It is taking on a new character, even as existing challenges persist. We agreed that we need a comprehensive global strategy and approach to combat with it. There should be no distinction between terrorist groups. Every country must fulfil its commitments to eliminate terrorist safe havens and bring terrorists to justice.

Our two countries will deepen our bilateral security cooperation against terrorist groups. And, we will further enhance our counter-terrorism capabilities, including in the area of technology.

President Obama and I agree that a strong and growing economic relationship is vital for the success of our strategic partnership. Economic growth in our two countries is becoming stronger. Our business climate is improving. This gives me great optimism about our economic ties.

In addition, we have established a number of effective bilateral mechanisms to identify opportunities and also help our businesses trade and invest more.

We will also resume our dialogue on Bilateral Investment Treaty. We will also restart discussions on a Social Security Agreement that is so important for the hundreds of thousands of Indian professionals working in the United States.

For President Obama and me, clean and renewable energy is a personal and national priority. We discussed our ambitious national efforts and goals to increase the use of clean and renewable energy. We also agreed to further enhance our excellent and innovative partnership in this area. I asked him to lead international efforts in making renewable energy more accessible and affordable to the world. President and I expressed hope for a successful Paris Conference on climate change this year.

We will continue to deepen our collaboration in science, technology, innovation, agriculture, health, education and skills. These are central to the future of our two countries; and also give us an opportunity to help others around the world.

Indeed, our strategic partnership will only be complete if we assume our responsibility to work together to promote development and connectivity in our vast region. President Obama and I agreed to pursue this goal with a sense of priority.

President and I had an excellent discussion on global and regional issues. In particular, we renewed our commitment to deepen our cooperation to advance peace, stability, prosperity in Asia, Pacific and Indian Ocean Region, which is critical for the future of our two countries and the destiny of this world. We will also work closely to help Afghanistan through its transition.

Our relationship stands at a new level today. We have outlined a broad vision for our friendship and cooperation that reflects the opportunities and challenges of this century. As Lord Buddha said, noble friends and companions are the whole of the holy life.

We have decided to give this critical partnership a new thrust and sustained attention. For this, we have agreed that India and the United States must have regular summits at greater frequency. And, we will also establish hotlines between myself and Barack and our National Security Advisors.

At the beginning of this year we start a new journey.

Let me welcome you once again, Mr. President. It is a great pleasure to have you with us.

Thank you.

            Kind reference is invited to this association letters dated 28.10.14, 5.11.14, 13.11.14, 28.11.14 & 01.12.14 requesting the chief commissioner to hold DPC for promotion to the grade of superintendent.

And at present there are about 404 vacancies in the cadre of Superintendent of C.Ex including the backlog vacancies.

            This association has been repeatedly requesting the Chief Commissioner to hold DPC for promotion to the grade of Superintendent but till date nothing seems to be positive in this regard. Almost all the central excise zones have already conducted DPCs for filling of such consequential vacancies and it appears that in Chennai CCA, action has not been initiated to conduct DPC even after repeated requests by this association.

            The officers are loosing morale and financially they have been denied their due benefits by not giving promotions to the eligible officers. In this regard this association again humbly requests the benign Chief Commissioner to kindly look into the issue and convene DPC without any further delay. The already stagnated cadre is loosing morale and further delay would also cause loss of all India seniority in the cadre of superintendent.

            Also it is requested that an appointment may please be given to this association on a convenient date to submit the grievances of the members of this association.

          It is submitted with due regards that during the interaction of the members of this association with respected commissioner on 19/11/2014, it was assured by the commissioner that review DPC in the cadre of inspectors will be conducted on 24/11/2014 and DPC for filling of vacancies in the grade of Superintendents will be conducted on 26^th or 27^th of November 2014. 

            However, it appears that no such DPCs were convened. In this regard we once again request the respected Commissioner to fill up the vacancies in the cadre of Superintendents at the earliest.  Also early and appropriate decision may be taken with regard to the review of the earlier DPCs conducted for promotion to the grade of Inspectors.

We also submit that there is huge apprehension in the cadre regarding loss of seniority wrt other zones, since no clear instructions are existing. Further we would also like to bring to the kind notice of the commissioner that the officers who have not received MACP and are likely to get promoted may incur loss financially if promotions are not given immediately.

We once again humbly request the Commissioner that appropriate and immediate action may be taken in this regard.

Thanking you

          Kind reference is invited to this association letter dated 28.10.2014, and 05.11.2014 requesting to conduct DPC for promotion to the grade of Superintendent of Central Excise against the 340 number of vacancies arised in consequence to the promotion of Superintendents to the grade of Assistant Commissioner .

In this regard it is also brought to the kind notice of the Chief Commissioner that promotion orders to the grade of superintendents were already issued in most of the zones under Central Excise cadre control, in respect of consequential vacancies aroused out of promotion to the grade of Asst.Commissioner.

It is  also learnt that when the representatives from local branches viz Madurai, Coimbattore etc requested the Commissioner, Chennai-I Commissionerate, for conducting immediate DPC, the commissioner has opined that there is huge vacancy in the cadre of inspectors and further promotions from inspector to superintendent cadre may further deplete the strength of inspectors cadre.

The above opinion doesn’t appear to be justifying as the vacancy in inspectors cadre has to be filled by direct recruitment by SSC (67% vacancy ) which may take more than 2-3 years to materialize. Till such time denying the promotion to the stagnated cadre of inspectors is not justified and is not proper. And unless these vacancy in superintendent level are filled up by promotion, the true projection of vacancy in cadre of inspectors is also not possible.

As such at present the superintendents are doing the work of both Superintendents as well as inspectors and even in case these inspectors are promoted to the grade of superintendents they will continue to do the same work as they were doing earlier, with more responsibility on their shoulders.

At present there are more than 430 vacancies in the grade of Superintendent cadre in Chennai C.Ex CCA and only way to fill such vacancy is by promotion and not providing promotions to the feeder cadre who are waiting for 12 years in hope of promotion, is denying their right for career advancement.

Since all India seniority is maintained in cadre of superintendents any further delay in convening DPC for consequential vacancies in Chennai Central Excise zone would hamper the chances of Chennai Zone officers in placing at appropriate position in all India seniority. Hence the kind chief commissioner is requested to convene DPC immediately for promotion to the grade of Superintendent.

Kind action of the Chief Commissioner will boost the morale of the stagnated cadre and thereby improve the efficiency.

Thanking you

Since large numbers of vacancies are existing as on date, consequent to the promotion orders of the Assistant Commissioner, the empanelled officers of earlier DPC may be granted promotion immediately instead of issuing orders after arising of such retirement vacancies.

Sir,

Sub : Association – Promotion to the grade of Superintendent – Reg.

*  *  *  *  *

          It is brought to the kind attention of the Chief Commissioner that consequent to the promotion to the cadre of Assistant Commissioners, about 340 vacancies in the cadre of Superintendent of Central Excise have arisen in Chennai Cadre Control Zone.  In some of the zones like Jaipur and Hyderabad action has already been initiated to fill the consequential vacancies that have arisen in the cadre of Superintendent.

Since the seniority of the superintendents is maintained at all India level, if there is any delay in respect of our zone the persons from the other zones would gain seniority over the Officers of Chennai Zone.

The stagnation in the Chennai Zone is very high. If the promotions are ordered immediately, it would help the Officers to get placed in a better position in the all India seniority of Superintendents which would help them in their further promotion prospects.  Therefore, it is requested that immediate action may be taken to conduct DPC to fill the vacancies that have arisen in the cadre of Superintendent.         

                                                                                                         Yours sincerely,
