Untimely transfers irk Excise men

This is going to cause undue hardships to all the 50 inspectors of Central Excise who have been transferred as their wards will not get admissions in schools.

Earlier with no transfer policy, the administration used transfers arbitrarily to harass those officers who did not toe their line. Therefore, heeding the demands of the All India Federation ofCentral Excise Inspectors, the Chairman of the Central Board of Excise and Customs, New Delhi, had issued directives to all the Chief Commissioners of Central Excise to frame a transfer policy in consultation with the local staff association and accordingly a new transfer policy was framed. As per the transfer policy, the stay of inspectors at Nagpur is six years, at Chandrapur, Ballarpur, Awarpur and Khamgaon it is two years and at Yavatmal, Amravati, Akola, Bhandara, Wardha, Gondia and Tumsar four years, said an Excise inspector.
