The Demo Site

On 5^th Aug,2009 The Income Tax Dept vide Notification No.II for Dept Exam 2009 made it clear that those who have qualified in at least two of the basic four papers, i.e., Law(i&2), Book Keeping, O.T and O.P. will be given the last and final chance to clear the examination under the old syllabus. It is also mentioned that those who will remain unsuccessful, will have to appear in all papers under new syllabus from the year 2010 onwards.

View the Dept. Circular in this regard.

The exam will commence from 20^th Oct,2009 for both old and new syllabus.

ITEF’s Stand on the issue :

“The Examination on the old pattern was to be for all partially qualified candidates. Partially qualified according to us means are those who have qualified in any of the four basic papers i.e., IT law I & II, Book-keeping, Other Taxes and Office Procedure. The Directorate has decided that partially qualified means only those who have qualified in any two of the above mentioned four papers. This is not acceptable to us.”

Update on Grade pay and Infrastructure Fund Issue :

“ Neither on infrastructure fund nor on Grade Pay settlement has been brought about. The Secretary (Revenue) despite supporting our genuine concern on Grade Pay has not been able to make the Department of Expenditure to see reason.”

“Accordingly it has been decided to organize a walk out of 18^th August, 2009 from 12.00 Noon onwards.”

“On walking out on 18^th August hold demonstrations in front of all offices and the following telegram/savingram/fax sent to the Chairman, CBDT., North Block, Central Secretariat, New Delhi-110 001 and to the Secretary (Revenue), Govt. of India, Ministry of Finance, North Block, Central Secretariat, New Delhi -110 001.

Text of Telegram to Chairman:

PLEASE ADDRESS THE OBJECTIONS RAISED BY ITEF TO THE NEW EXAMINATION RULES AND ELEGIBILITY OF CANDIDATES UNDER THE OLD PATTERN. SETTLE THE SAME IMMEDIATELY

Text of telegram to Secretary (Revenue)

PLEASE GET THE ISSUE OF GRADE PAY FOR INSPECTORS, ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS AND PRIVATE SECRETARIES SETTLED AS PER THE GOVT. OF INDIA NOTIFICATION.”

Update on 11th August on Grade pay Issue.

All India Central Excise Inspectors' Association urged the Revenue Secretary to intervene in the Grade pay issue. He earlier had issued directions to convene another meeting in the 1st week of August 2009 to resolve the issue.
