Dear Sir,
Sub: Unauthorised
absence from duty- Reg
Your
Ref:F.No.201(3)/2015-16/Pr.CCIT dtd. 02.11.2015
Please refer your letter F.No.201(3)/2015-16/Pr.CCIT dtd.
02.11.2015, which was received by me on 10.12.2015. I have neither relinquished
the charge of JCIT (OSD) nor joined as ITAT consequent to CBDT Transfer Order
No.89 of 2015 dated 19.06.2015. I was totally devastated when I found that in
the transfer order against my name it was written in the remark column “NOT TO
BE POSTED TO FIELD POSTING.”
During the year 2014-15 I worked in International
Taxation at Bangalore heading the Range-2. It is a known fact that many States
had failed to achieve the budget target and it was Bangalore which has achieved
the target. Many States across the International Taxation failed to achieve the
target but International Taxation at Bangalore took the lead in the country.
Keeping these facts in mind I find that remark “NOT TO BE POSTED TO FIELD
POSTING” in the transfer order is more than unjust and unreasonable.
I attempted to find the reason and I reliably learnt from
Ms. Chandana Ramachandran, CIT (International Taxation) that she had requested
a replacement in International Taxation as I had taken leave officially couple
of times to take care of my father for the relapse of cancer and for some other
urgent personal reasons. When I enquired further for such a remark in transfer
order, then I further learnt that the remark was put in the transfer order to
teach me a lesson as I had officially taken leave during the year. I find the action
of person/s involved in inserting such a remark in the transfer order is vindictive,
malicious, nasty and derogatory as it challenges the basic integrity and
character of a person.
Administration at Bangalore was silent and has never
raised the issue with CBDT about why such a remark was written for an IRS
Officer without any valid reason? After serving the Indian Revenue Service for
more than fifteen years, if this is what I get back for my service then it is
time to leave. I have already placed my resignation on 05.12.2015 and express
that I have no interest now in being part of Indian Revenue Service.
On the contrary please go
through my records from the date of joining the Indian Revenue Service and you
will find, I had an outstanding career till the year 2007-08. A group of
officers attempted to destroy my career by spoiling my ACR despite doing an
excellent job. It was then I decided that I will sell DOSA’s on the road but
shall not budge before anyone. I even placed my resignation for the first time
in the year 2008 and was on unauthorized leave for couple of months. This is
the first disconnect from the work that happened as administration never came
to the rescue of protecting a sincere IRS officer from a motivated campaign. It
is then I started research into the entire gamut of cooking.
Over the decade I not only
standardized hundreds of Indian recipe spanning from Satvik to Non-Satvik
cuisine but also innovated a radiant heat device through LPG which saves more
than 30% LPG. On 13th May 2015, I was awarded a Gold Medal for the
same innovation by DST-Lockheed Martin India Innovation Growth Programme 2015.
It is a programme which is partnered by Department of Science and Technology,
Stanford University, Indo-US Science Forum, University of Austin-Texas and
FICCI to identify best innovation in our country.
On 8th October
2015, the innovation became the National Winner in Global Cleantech Innovation
Programme 2015 and represented as one of the clean technologies of the world on
a fully sponsored programme of United Nations at San Francisco on 19th
November 2015. It is a programme where Ministry of MSME in partnership with United
Nations Industrial Development Organization, Global Environment Facility,
Cleantech Open and FICCI to promotes Innovations and entrepreneurship in the
Indian SMEs in clean technologies. The program is designed to identify
innovations in the area of Energy Efficiency and Renewable energy in
SMEs and provide mentorship to the innovators so that they can showcase their
innovation on global platform. The
above initiative of the department also highlights and brings into focus the
“Zero defect and Zero effect in manufacturing” slogan of the Prime Minister
wherein the focus on clean technology will lead to zero effect and enhance the
sustainability of our manufacturing processes.
I feel happy and contended that though being a
Commerce student I have excelled in the field of Science which needs an
in-depth knowledge of Thermo-Dynamics. If this is what I could do it from
scratch in a decade’s time in alien area by being pushed to the corner due to
victimization in Income-tax Department then what I would have contributed to
Indian Revenue Service which I chose as a dream career while being in the
service. This is what I am trying to drive the point that administration is
silent for an Indian Revenue Service Officer being tagged with a heinous remark
“NOT TO BE POSTED TO FIELD POSTING” which is really self-contradictory to what
the Officer has really done and achieved on the field when he was left
helpless, unaided and fully vulnerable.
I lodge my protest
officially for the remark “NOT TO BE POSTED TO FIELD POSTING” which is without
any sound basis, reasoning and that too without giving an opportunity. Please
inquire this matter fully. As I have placed my resignation and decided to move
on I feel happy that even after being hounded inside the service I have not
only brought laurels to the Department but to the entire country. I request you that till my resignation is not
accepted I will not be attending any office as I am in no mood to come back as
I totally stand disconnected with work.
Thanking you.
Yours
faithfully
