Dated : 30.12.2013. To The Chief Commissioner, Customs, Central Excise and Service Tax, Hyderabad Zone, Hyderabad. Sir,                 Subject:-   Allocation of posts in Andhra Pradesh-Central Excise and `                                         Customs Formation - Request - Regarding. -oOo- At the outset, we the Hyderabad Central Excise Inspectors’ Association would like to submit that we are very fortunate to have our Hon’ble Chief Commissioner as one of the members of the most important   Committee constituted by the DGHRD. We take this opportunity to Congratulate Hon’ble Chief Commissioner for becoming a member of pivotal Committee which will definitely benefit the entire cadre of the department particularly in judicious distribution of sanction of posts in all the cadres.  At this crucial juncture we take the opportunity to submit the following few lines for consideration while allocating the staff to Andhra Pradesh. Sir, as on date the cadre of Superintendent is having a sanctioned strength of 711 posts in the Common Cadre of Hyderabad and Vizag Zones. These Zones comprise of 8 Commissionerates with a proportionate strength of 89 Superintendents per Commissionerate. Despite the existing sanctioned strength, it is well aware that there is an additional requirement of the Superintendents to meet the present work load in both the Zones. However, we may also bring to the kind notice of the Chief Commissioner that the DGHRD vide their letter dated 03.09.2013 has proposed for sanction of 80 posts to each Central Excise /Service Tax/ Customs / Audit Commissionerates.  However, in the said proposals the sanction of Superintendents to Chief Commissioners Office and Commissioner (Appeals) Office was reduced drastically to one post in each office. But the Hon’ble Chief Commissioner is aware that the work load in CCO as well as Commissioner (Appeals) Office indicates the additional requirement. Subsequently, it appears that the strength of the Superintendents was further reduced to 50 in each Central Excise Commissionerate. This will result in reduction of the cadre in the present Central Excise formations of Hyderabad and Vizag Zones. On examination of the requirement of Superintendents with the work load and collection of revenue we feel that the original proposal of DGHRD @ 80 Superintendents per Commissionerate will make the existing formations to cope up with the existing work load. Besides a separate sanction of Superintendent posts for audit, Service Tax and Customs Commissionerates is required to meet the need of growing potential of revenue in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam. It may be noted that the Industry particularly the Bulk Drug Industry, Service Tax net, Customs Imports and Exports and the IT industry is having great future in Hyderabad and also in Visakhapatnam. It is to submit that recently a new I.T.I.R has been sanctioned to Hyderabad with 2.19 Lakh Crore Rupees by the Central Government and Government is also concentrating on Second rung cities in Andhra Pradesh for establishing IT industrial hubs. Further bifurcation of state will lead to rapid growth of Service Tax Sector as well as Industry on both sides. Several proposals appear to be in pipeline for sanction by the Central Government to Andhra Pradesh in view of bifurcation. Receding of agitations and on stability of political situation in Andhra Pradesh the potential technocrat strength will show definitely a high growth of revenue as well as requirement of staff in immediate future. In view of the foregoing we request the benign Chief Commissioner to consider the following points favourably: i.                      all the Central Excise & Customs Commissionerates to be allocated with at least 80 number of Superintendent Posts each and 90 number of Superintendents in each Audit Commissionerate,                                                                                                                    ii.                   the posts allocated to Customs Commissionerate in Visakhapatnam Zone (Kakinada)  may be allotted to Central Excise pool so as to be filled up from Central Excise Inspectors cadre only. This is because all the Minor ports in India are being manned by Central Excise staff only.                 With regards, Yours faithfully, (B.L.N.VARMA)                                                                                            GENERAL SECRETARY
