The Indian Revenue Service (Customs and Indirect Taxes) officers association has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi requesting him not to entertain proposals for extension, after superannuation, from any member of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) as it demoralizes the cadre.

In their letter to the Prime Minister, the association stated that “its officers are highly agitated that seeking an extension of tenure beyond superannuation promotes vested interests and lobbying which is detrimental to the professional conduct of revenue collection and prevention of tax evasion. Moreover serving officers are experiencing humongous strain in a seamless flow of tax policy models initiated by such retired officers no longer in the civil list,” the association said.

“It is to bring to your kind notice that many serving IRS (C&IT) officers have brought to my notice that some more members, CBIC are likely to be given extension/reappointment after retirement and proposals are at an active consideration stage, it said in the letter dated June 30. In this regard, I humbly submit that extension of tenure beyond superannuation demoralises the cadre as the entire chain of promotion gets blocked that too when sufficient eligible officers are available for promotion, said Penumaka, Principal Chief Commissioner, Visakhapatnam zone. He said that members’ tenure should be co-terminus with superannuation.
