Despite CBIC letter dated 03.03.2026 postponing the OCM scheduled for 09.03.2026, no fresh date has yet been notified. Non-convening of the OCM is contrary to Board’s instructions dated 16.05.2017 mandating quarterly meetings with recognized Service Associations under the Chairmanship of Member (Administration).

The last Board-level OCM was held in April 2025. Continued delay defeats the spirit of DoPT/JCM guidelines and adversely impacts grievance redressal, administrative efficiency, and staff morale. It is further observed that several Zones/Commissionerates are also not conducting OCM/JCM meetings as per prescribed timelines, resulting in accumulation of unresolved grievances.

The Association respectfully requests immediate convening of the Board-level OCM and issuance of strict directions to all Zones/Commissionerates for compliance with Board’s instructions regarding timely conduct of OCM/JCM meetings.

All Group-A promotions for the calendar year 2026 were issued in December 2025, except the promotion from the grade of Superintendent to Assistant Commissioner, which is still pending.

In this regard, the office bearers of AIASCT have held several meetings with the officers of DGHRD and the Board on multiple occasions. However, no tangible progress has been observed so far, primarily because the All India Seniority List (AISL) has not yet been finalised. It is understood that certain Zones, namely Vadodara, Delhi, and Lucknow, have still not furnished the requisite seniority list of Superintendents, citing reasons which appear to be avoidable and unjustified.

The Association has once again submitted reminders to the Board as well as to the concerned Zones, requesting expeditious finalisation of the AISL and early convening of the DPC for promotion to the grade of Assistant Commissioner.

The prolonged delay has caused serious resentment and frustration amongst the affected officers. It is pertinent to mention that many officers are awaiting only their second promotion even after rendering more than 32–35 years of dedicated service to the Department, which itself reflects an extremely anomalous and unfortunate situation.

The Association, therefore, earnestly requests the competent authorities to intervene and ensure early completion of all pending formalities so that the legitimate promotional aspirations of the officers are addressed without any further delay.
