Govt invokes rule 56(j); 33 tax officials compulsorily retired

By TIOL News Service

NEW DELHI, MAY 05, 2016: THERE is a general perception that no action is taken against the defaulting tax officials for their non performance as well as in case of harassing the tax assesses among others. The present Government has taken various steps to change this perception following the principle of good governance. After the present Government took over two years back, it has taken strict action against such revenue officers/officials in order to fix their accountability.

For the first time, 33 officers/officials of the Revenue Services, including seven Group ‘A' officers, have been prematurely retired for non-performance under Rule 56(j) of CCS (Pension) Rules. Further, 72 officers/officials have been dismissed including six Group ‘A' officers, in other departmental/ disciplinary actions in the last two years.

Sub: invoking rule 56 retiring revenue officials

The present orders dismissing inefficient officials in the revenue is mole in the heap of rubbish The hole rubbish has to be cleared for efficient governance There are many inspectors and higher officials in the indirect tax offices who are not capable of drafting a simple letter leave aside show cause notices and adjudication orders The knowledge and drafting capacity of the officers should be tested before giving posting an official to that post where knowledge of rules and various judgements is required wile dealing with revenue cases
