Subject: Allocation
of Inspectors (Central Excise), Inspectors (Preventive Officers) and Inspectors
(Examiners) recommended for appointment by the SSC on the basis of result of
Combined Graduate Level (Main) Examination, 2006.
Sir/ Madam,
I
am directed to say that on the basis of results of Combined Graduate Level
(Main)
Examination, 2006, the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) had initially
recommended 2,742 candidates for appointment as Inspectors (Inspectors of
Central Excise: 2,415, Preventive officers: 263 and Examiners: 64) under CBEC,
as per the vacancies reported by the Department to the SSC.
However, the candidature of 28 candidates (Inspectors of Central Excise:
25 and Preventive Officers: 3) is still ‘provisional’.
Accordingly, total 2,714 candidates (Inspectors of Central Excise: 2,390,
Preventive officers: 260 and Examiners: 64) are presently available for
allocation to various cadres/ zones.
2.
The allocation of candidates to various cadres has been made on ‘merit-cum-preference’
basis (i.e. candidates with higher merit/ rank had better chances of getting
cadres of their preference), subject to availability of vacancies of relevant
category in the various cadres. In
some Zones/ Cadres, allocation of SC/ ST/ OBC candidates may be more than the
reserved quota, due to the reason that some SC/ ST/ OBC candidates have also
qualified on general standards or ‘own merit’. Such candidates have been
indicated in the enclosed lists by asterisk (*) mark. The DOPT instructions have been followed while allocating
cadres to such ‘own merit’ candidates and they are to be shown against
‘General’ category vacancies in the Roster.
The DOPT instructions with reference to persons with disabilities have
also been taken into consideration. Each
selected candidate was given an opportunity to indicate his/her options/
preferences. Some candidates have
not indicated any option/ preference. In
such cases, allocation has been made after taking into consideration the
residential address of the candidate made available by the SSC and the merit/
rank of the candidate. While
majority of the candidates have been allocated cadres within one of the options/
preferences indicated by them or close to their place of residence, the same has
not been possible in some cases due to mis-match between the ‘places where
vacancies exist’ and ‘places from where the candidates got selected/ places
opted for by the candidate’. For
instance, in case of Inspectors of Central Excise, there were 835 vacancies in
Southern Region, but only 115 candidates got selected from there.
Similarly, in the Western Region covering Maharashtra and Gujarat, there
were 708 vacancies, but only 82 candidates got selected from this Region.
On the contrary, in the Central Region covering UP & Bihar, 793
candidates got selected against 125 vacancies only. In
Northern Region also, number of candidates selected is much higher than the
number of vacancies.
3.
The List of candidates allocated to your cadre/ zone is enclosed
herewith. The Dossiers of the
allocated candidates containing their applications and other documents are
being sent separately to the respective Chief Commissioners.
The dossiers of some of the candidates have not yet been received. The same will be sent as soon as they are received.
The matter is being followed up with the SSC offices constantly.
4.
It may kindly be ensured that before the offers of appointment are
issued, all necessary formalities/ requirements as per the laid down procedure
are completed, including physical test, medical examination, verification of
character and antecedents, verification of original certificates regarding date
of birth, educational qualifications, caste certificate, disability certificate
and any other relevant documents, etc. In case of candidates belonging to the
Scheduled Castes/ Scheduled Tribes/ Other Backward Classes, the original castes
certificates issued by the competent authority should necessarily be checked
before the offer of appointment is issued. It is reiterated that the appointing
authority must satisfy itself fully regarding the eligibility of a candidate to
hold the post before issuing the letter containing the offer of appointment.
If any discrepancy is found on any ground, the case may be referred to
the Staff Selection Commission under intimation to the Board.
5.
The Dossiers of the candidates who do not qualify in the physical test/
medical examination or do not fulfill other requirements may be returned to the Staff
Selection Commission with a Certificate to that effect, under intimation to
the Board.
6.
The offer of appointment should be sent only by Registered post. If the
letters are returned by the postal authorities undelivered, the letters along
with the envelopes containing remarks by the postal authorities should be
retained for record purposes. In such
cases, a copy of the offer of appointment should be sent to the permanent
address
of the candidates, if it is different from that of the initial mailing address.
In case a candidate declines to accept the offer of appointment or fails to
report for duty, or there is
no response from him/her, even after issuance of a reminder through registered
post, the
offer of appointment should formally be cancelled and the candidate informed
accordingly. The dossiers of candidates who decline to accept the offer and in
those cases where the second letter is also returned undelivered, should be
returned to the Staff Selection Commission under intimation to the Board,
after placing therein a copy each of the letter containing the offer of
appointment, subsequent reminder and the memorandum of the cancellation of offer
of appointment.
7.
All Chief Commissioners concerned may kindly ensure that the candidates
who accept the offer of appointment join their duties latest
by 31.08.2009. Thereafter, the
newly appointed Inspectors should undergo the mandatory training in RTIs
concerned before they are given a regular posting.
8.
The receipt of this communication and its enclosures may kindly be
acknowledged.
