Auctioning of MSP is a baseless allegation. This sought of thing has not came to our notice. Our CC Sir had ensured the implementation of policy in letter and spirit. The cadre will always remain obliged for his justice loving approach. (2/n)
The referred tweet is false, misleading and devoid of actual fact. This year's AGT for Most Sensitive Posting under the able guidance of Hon'ble Chief Commissioner Customs, Patna Zone has become an epitome for transparency and fairness in all respect. (1/n)
I have received yet another complaint against the Chief Commissioner of Customs, Patna Zone @cusprevpatna , regarding his alleged involvement in the smuggling of Erica nuts (monthly 50 lakhs). This further reinforces the repeated complaints—both by the Associations and by individuals—about how the Customs Department has become a safe haven for certain IRS officers to thrive in corruption and amass huge amounts of illegal money through smuggling activities, particularly Erica/betel nuts and, more recently, gold smuggling at Lucknow Airport. It also includes the alleged auctioning of Nepal-border postings by the Chief Commissioner himself, where high-revenue postings are arbitrarily labeled as “Most Sensitive” without any legal basis.
This smuggling activity is termed as “taking line” in common saying in customs department.
All associations have opposed this kind of illegal classification and the institutionalized sanctioning of corruption in Customs. However, no action has been taken, as these officers continue to receive protection through a powerful network of IRS officers. They have a vested interest in maintaining a steady stream of illegal monthly income within Customs.
The root of the problem lies in the fact that @dgovcbic functions more to shield IRS officers than to ensure accountability. The IRS forms a tightly knit group within @cbic_india , occupying all supervisory posts and effectively blocking the upward mobility of honest subordinates. Through this network, they maintain their grip on the department, enabling corruption to flourish and departmental resources to be looted with impunity. Despite thousands of complaints to the @FinMinIndia , no reforms have been initiated. Citizens and taxpayers are left at the mercy of a corrupt system where honest officers cannot survive. I lost my job in the hands of a notorious corrupt IRS officer on the grounds of writing such complaints to ministry. This shows how their gang has stronghold in ministry itself.
It is imperative to investigate the content of the attached complaint and auctioning of the so-called “Most Sensitive” posts. For instance, despite repeated complaints against a former Additional Commissioner in Lucknow Customs Preventive @cusprevlucknow —allegedly involved in organized gold smuggling at the airport—and a clear DGHRD directive to relieve him by April 30, 2025, he was not relieved by the Chief Commissioner @cusprevpatna . Instead, he remained in place until he processed the file related to “Most Sensitive” transfer postings. He was finally relieved on a Friday, and the Chief Commissioner signed the order on the following Tuesday, May 20. The role of the Chief Commissioner must be investigated in this regard.
This policy of sanctioning corruption in Customs must be withdrawn and replaced with a transfer/posting framework aligned strictly with the guidelines of DoPT, CVC, and DGHRD, as repeatedly demanded by the Association. The multi-crore transfer-posting industry must be dismantled in the interest of national security and institutional integrity.

It is HIGH TIME
-to raise our voice
-to strengthen our unity
-to highlight the prevalent injustice towards Group-B in CBIC.
The sentiment of about 13000 Inspectors against Arbitrary Order No.05/2024 dated 12.03.2024, issued by Shri K P Singh, Principal Commissioner CGST Lucknow for removing Shri Abhijat Srivastava from service will take a form of nation wide peaceful lunch hour demonstration 03.05.2024.
#Justice4Abhijat.
#Justice4Abhijat campaign is not an effort for one instead it is the sheer reflection of GroupB' s resilience against oppression.
We proudly bear the badge of being servant of Government but we firmly oppose the process of making us slaves of few autocratic bosses.
@narendramodi@PMOIndia@nsitharaman@FinMinIndia@mppchaudhary@cbic_india@cgstluckzone@PIB_India A General Body Meeting was held at West Bengal, Andaman and Nicobar & Sikkim Circle of AICEIA at GST Bhawan, Kolkata on 08.04.2024 regarding #Justice4Abhijat. We all are united and will fight till the last with Abhijat who fought to eradicate corruption in the department, but removed from service premeditatedly by shri K P Singh, Principal Commissioner, CGST & CX, Lucknow.
Truth cannot be suppressed by treacherous act.
#Justice4Abhijat.

An apparently baseless First Information Report (FIR) has been filed by the Principal Commissioner of CGST, Lucknow against Abhijat Srivastava, a whistleblower who was removed from his service for advocating transparency in the SSF and calling for an investigation into irregularities in promotions. The FIR mentions a video involving Devavanshu Mehta from Rashtriya Rakshak Samooh. Upon reviewing the video, it is evident that Mehta also expressed frustration and a commitment to protest against the unjust removal of Abhijat, who has been vocal about combating corruption and financial misconduct, much like other members of the association nationwide.
It seems that the Principal Commissioner retaliated by filing an FIR against Abhijat Srivastava, falsely accusing him of extortion, defamation, criminal intimidation, and obstructing a public officer's duties. Abhijat has never exhibited such behavior and has never spoken disrespectfully to any officer.

We kindly request the attention of all to the interview of Shri Abhijat Srivastava, our former Zonal General Secretary, who is eloquently and respectfully telling about the challenges he has encountered due to his commitment to advocating for transparency and combating financial misconduct in alignment with the government's objectives and the nation's best interests. Since, he has been fearlessly writing and reporting to government, the interest of those higher officers who are indulged in financial misconduct is being compromised, which led to his unjust removal from service, in the garb of status of recognition of the Association.
He also sheds light on the significance of an effective internal setup and functioning in ensuring the delivery of honest and efficient public services.
@narendramodi@PMOIndia@nsitharaman@FinMinIndia@mppchaudhary@cgstluckzone@PIB_India
If you demand Promotion, Clarification, Investigation.
We will give you Victimization, Suspension, Termination.
It cannot be the law of the land.
Our protest for Democracy against this colonial mindset will continue until our last breath.

Power without accountability is an antidote for democracy. Comrade had raised those issues which might have disturbed the luxury of bosses & removal from service is the outcome of that otherwise investigating the issues was not a bad option 4 authority.

@narendramodi जी भारतीयों को 2047 के बाद का vision दे रहे हैं और IRS अधिकारी @cbic_india में Gr B को 1947 से पहले का भारत दिखा रहे हैं।आज GR B के हक का मुद्दा उठाने की सजा नौकरी गंवाना है। यह तान��शाही है और ये प्रधानमंत्री की सोच को ठेस पहुंचाने की साजिश है।
#Justice4Abhijat
Convoluted HR Policy for Grp B, no All India Transfer Policy, no deputation mechanism, 1-2 promotion in 35 years, no participation in Cadre Restructuring etc. Above all removal from service for raising the issue. A check & mate situation for Inspectors.
We want #Justice4Abhijat
अन्याय के अध्याय
1. निरीक्षक वर्ग में व्याप्त विसंगतियों का विषय उठाने को प्रशासन द्वारा गम्भीर दुराचार मानना
2. उक्त विषय उठाने वाले को नौकरी से निकालना
3. जीविका छिन जाने के बाद की गई याचिका पे निर्णय देने में विलंब करना
देर से नयाय, अन्याय का पर्याय
#Justice4Abhijat
Profile- CGST Inspector
Work-Almost all the executive task
Reward-1 promotion in 35 years of service, if lucky then 2nd that too at the fag end of career.
Worst is that if someone raises the issue he will get removal from service order.
