All India Central Excise Inspectors

Association
Representing the Inspectors of Central Excise throughout
India. (RECOGNISED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA,
MINISTRY OF FINANCE, VIDE CBEC F.NO. 12017/1/2004Ad.IV dated 27.05.2013
HYDERABAD
BRANCH

Dated :31.12.2014

To
The Chief Commissioner,
Customs, Central Excise and Service Tax,
Hyderabad Zone,
Hyderabad.
Madam,
Sub: Submission of points for Transfer Policy in the cadre
of Inspectors-Regarding.
****
It is humbly submitted to the benign Chief Commissioner
that no transfer policy is in existence post restructuring in
the cadre of inspectors. Therefore, points for formulating
a draft transfer Policy for Inter Zonal and Inter
Commissionerate is prepared after seeking views/ opinions of

the officers of the cadre and the same is submitted with due
regards for kind consideration.
2. It is submitted that most of the points mentioned in the
Inter Zonal Transfer Policy are similar to that of the previous
Transfer Policy.
3.
Keeping in view that Specialised Commissionerates (Viz.
Customs, Audit) are having more field postings, this
Association
has
proposed
points
for
the
Inter
Commissionerate Transfer Policy with a rotation period of two
years in each of the Commissionerates / Directorates of
Hyderabad Zone to ensure fair working opportunity to all and
minimize the representations / grievances of the individuals
before the administration.
4.
After cadre restructuring, most of the senior inspectors
got promoted as Superintendents and there is an acute
paucity of senior Inspectors having put in 8 to 10 years of
service. On an average each Commissionerate is having working
strength of 7 to 8 Senior Inspectors only. Vital sections like
Tribunal, Legal, Review, Adjudication, EDP, Anti-evasion,
Statistics involve heavy work load and the issues are time
bound. There are instances where the existing senior
inspectors have raised to the occasion and successfully
carrying out the duties of two to three Sections / Sectors to
the utmost satisfaction of the administration. At this stage,
services of senior inspectors are required more at
Hyderabad. It is also not out of place to submit that quite a

large number of representations seeking exemption from

posting to Mouffousil are submitted on various grounds every
year during AGT to avoid shifting /dislocation. In such a
difficult scenario and to resolve such issues both for the
officials and for administration, it is proposed by the
Association that the new direct recruit inspectors who are
allotted to Hyderabad zone may be considered for posting to
Mouffousil at the time of joining for a period of two years
only.
5.
It is requested that the proposal of the Association
may kindly be accepted and in case, any point of the proposed
transfer policy is not conceded to, the Association may please
be given an opportunity to discuss the issue in detail.
Thanking you Madam,
Yours faithfully,
Encl: Points for transfer policy
