Madam,
Sub: Adhoc Promotion from the cadre of Inspector to the Cadre of
Superintendent of Central Excise, Hyderabad Zone against vacancies
that have arisen after AC promotion Request for regular
promotion -Regarding.
****
It is humbly submitted to the benign Chief Commissioner that Hyderabad
I Commissionerate, Vide Establishment (GO) Order No. 88/2014 dated
31.10.2014 issued promotion to the officers from the cadre of Inspector to the
Cadre of Superintendent of Central Excise on Adhoc basis in respect of
vacancies that have arisen after promotion of Superintendents to the cadre of
Assistant Commissioners vide order dated 22.10.2014 issued by the Ministry.
2.

The Ministry Vide Order 192/2014 dated 22.10.2014 promoted 1863

Superintendents of Central Excise including 66 Superintendents from A.P Zone

to the Cadre of Assistant Commissioner on adhoc basis subject to the decision of
the competent authority for regular promotion based on UPSC recommendation.
3.

Subsequently, vide E.O (G.O) No. 88/2014, adhoc promotion has been

issued from Inspector cadre to the cadre of Superintendent by Hyderabad I

Commissionerate for filling up the chain vacancies which arose by way of
promotion of the Superintendents to the cadre of the Assistant Commissioner of
Central Excise.
4.

It is pertinent to submit that some of the Zones of Customs and Central

Excise have issued promotion on regular basis instead of adhoc basis from
the cadre of Inspector to the cadre of Superintendent against the vacancies that
arose after Ministrys order 192/2014 dated 22.10.2014. A photo copy of

5.

The administration is aware that 1863 adhoc promotions against the

revised sanctioned strength of Assistant Commissioner were issued during the

implementation of Cadre Restructuring. The Cabinet has approved the additional
sanctioned strength in the Cadre of the Assistant Commissioner for a continuous
period of five years and the likelihood of reversion of these officers in future, is
remote for the reasons that majority of them will either attain superannuation
or will be adjusted against regular vacancies which may arise in the cadre of
Assistant Commissioner within a period of five years. It is also reliably learnt
that DPC for approximately 500 existing vacancies in the cadre of Assistant
Commissioner is under process at Board level.
6.

This is also to submit that such Superintendents from other zones

who have been promoted on regular basis will be placed in the seniority
list while the officers promoted on Adhoc basis from A.P zone will not
even find place in the seniority list of Superintendents. The same may in
turn, severely impair the career prospects of the officers of AP zone.
7.

In view of the above and in order to maintain uniformity, the

judicious Chief Commissioner of Hyderabad Zone is requested to

regularize all such Adhoc promotions with deemed date with effect from
the respective dates on which they were promoted on Adhoc basis to
the cadre of Superintendent.

Thanking you Madam,

Yours faithfully,
Encl: EO(GO) No. 125/2014
dated 21.11.2014 of Vadodara Zone
