Secretarial Clerical Staff Performance Appraisal: Fill & Download for Free

Have you ever fired someone for not coming to work on time?Yes. I had to. The guy begged for it. It was 1972.After Bangladesh war I was posted as a major to the AHQ. Here I had nearly 20 civilian staff who reported to me through through their Superintendent. One man was a perpetual late comer, not by a few minutes but by an hour or even more at times. All advice and counselling didn't have any effect on him.I had the attendence register where the people on arrival had to sign and enter their arrival time in front of me on my table. This arrangement did rankle him. He did follow it for a few days but then found a workaround.His late coming was cased by his side business he had to attend to during office hours. Before he reached office he used to sell terrylene shirt pieces for both men's and women ‘s apparel in our office block (It was huge; South Block of the Central Secretariat). He carried his wares in his brief case. When compelled to sign the attendendence register before me on my table. he did it alright but would vanish on his business sprees soon after…. To be gone for hours sometime.His long absences was causing his desk to suffer. I started issuing written warnings at specific intervals according to his service rules to drive home his inefficiency and to make amends to show improvement at work. This was getting hot for him and as evidence against him was piling.He worked out a plan.. an ingenious one. He approached my boss while I was with him and entered very defferntially, saying he wanted to speak to him about the Major Sahab (Me) in private. My boss looked at me and I walked out.An hour later my Suprintendent came to me telling me that he had been called by my boss to seek his opinion on me. Our man had reported that I was forcing him to ‘provide’ attractive girls to him who happened to be his friends. According to his report, I had chanced upon him and his group of friends on a holiday. Ever since this meeting I had been harrassing him for late coming since he could not oblige. There were three young girls on my clerical staff and my boss wanted to know if there had been any complaint by any of these girls against me .The Suprintendent was taken aback by this question and asked why had this come up in the first place. My boss gave him all the background that had been reported by our man. My superintendent explained to him in detail the whole episode and its genesis. That killed the matter for the time.Seeing his girls-story dying, he now thought out another trick to harm me. My staff of twenty clerks had been alloted 1000 dossiers each of officers to maintain. This accounted for nearly 50 percent officers of our Army. These were officers from 2Lts to Lt Cols of Armoured Corps, Artillery and Infantry, it contained everything pertaining to the officers service in his dossier. Looking at it one knew his record od hospitalization/illnesses, courses aattendedand grades obtained, disciplinary record, postings and appointments held and annual performance appraisal reports etc.One day I received a call from a colleague from another section who had borrowed a dossier from our library to consider him for a posting. He told me that he had a dossier in front of him which had papers of 22 different officers filed in it; surely it could not be done mistakenly. He confirmed that this dossier belonged to the block that had been alloted to our man. It was evident now that he was out to create serious trouble in our branch, for whoch I was likely to be held solely responsible.I requested the officer to return the dossier to me personally along with a written complaint of the filing error that he had noticed. The dossier and the complaint were with me in next 15 minutes. Before reporting the issue to my boss, I had the Suprintendent make out a letter to our administrative section to be signed by my boss that our man was a security risk in the Branch and must be posted out forthwith.I took the dossier with all the wrong documents in it, the complaint of the posting section and the letter to be signed by my boss all together and placed before him the entire case. He had one look at the whole set of papers and was horrified at the audacity.The man was relieved of all his responsibilty in my section in next thirty minutes and told to report to the administrative section for further orders for his future employment. Looking at our report this office too did not want him anywhere around in our brach and promptly sent him off to the office of the CAO of the AHQ who controlled all civilians’ postings.Much later I learnt he was sent to Air HQ. Hope he behaved there. For some time he was gone, our Military Secetary kept receiving letters from him addressing the Military Secretary as His Highness! They kept rolling down to me marked NFA.

Also he gets a sim from the department on which all STD calls on every type of BSNL/MTNL phone are free; and 400 minutes on other phones whether STD or LOCAL are free for every month. This sim is provided to every ITI irrespective of the seat he is posted at.To be eligible for promotion to the post of ITO (Group-B Gazetted) he has to pass the departmental exam; but this exam is just for ELIGIBILITY; promotion is on the basis of SENIORITY only which differs from zone to zone. After promotion to the post of Assistant Commissioner the transfer becomes ALL INDIA LIABILITY. Before that the department can transfer him within the zone only unless he himself is interested in the zonal transfer. This is a job without uniform.EXAMINERThis is an inspector post also; and posted in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,600.If posted in Headquarter—-Clerical/File workIf posted in the field—-Executive work e.g. to examine the goods imported or to be exported and assessing duty on thatThis is not an uniform post.His promotions in the order are Appraiser (Group-B Gazetted), Assistant Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner and so on.

The Zonal Offices are headed by the Deputy Directors.The Directorate has eleven Sub Zonal Offices at Bhubaneswar, Calicut, Guwahati, Indore, Jaipur, Jalandhar, Madurai, Nagpur, Patna, Srinagar and Varanasi, which are headed by the Assistant Directors.——————————————————–Assistant in RailwayThis is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,600.As I have learnt an Assistant in Railway is generally posted at RAIL BHAWAN. Mind Rail Bhawan is in Delhi itself. If it’s so it should be better than CSS as an Assistant in Railway gets some additional benefits like; a little over double of the bonus that the employees of other govt organisations get (around Rs 8,000 a year) and free All India Railway AC Pass/es. Also you might be getting some kind of benefits in Ticket Reservation etc. As far as promotion prospects here are concerned they might be a little slower than CSS. Yeah no much corruption!An Assistant in Railways gets 1 pass for family ( to and fro) anywhere in India free and 3 passes for family (to and fro) in which he pays 1/3rd of the total amount of fare….all this is for tier-2 AC ticket…..then railway has its own railway homes all over India; so u can stay there at a very cheap rate if u using railway passes.Assistant in MEA & Assistant (Cypher) in MEAThis is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,600.The most sought after Assistant post under CGLE due to charm of foreign posting and many other lucrative facilities like children’s education, accommodation etc and a very handsome salary of more than 1 lakh per month (perhaps upto Rs 1,25,000). But one can be posted in countries like Afganistan, Pakistan, Irak, Libya too; but nothing to fear on this count as while sending one to an other country on posting he is given a few choices for the needed postings and he is posted according to those choices preferably. If one chooses any of the countries mentioned he is given 50% more salary and his tenure there is counted as DOUBLE; means he has to serve there for one and a half year which is counted equal to three years. Cyphor Asst. is a little different from Asst. (general) because they have to do the task of coding and decoding of some highly confidential language in addition. Cypher has night shifts also and has to work for 6 days. A system of 2 days off and 2 days will be night shift…..so no Sat Sun like system.Cyphor Asst gets more foreign postings than general Asst but the promotional avenues are better in General Asst. In MEA the promotional chances are very less and one can go up to the level of Under Secretary (US). He can be promoted to the next post in two ways—–i) Direct after 15-17 years ii) After 8 years or so after clearing departmental exams.An Assistant (General) is supposed to be posted generally 3 years in India and 3 years in foreign and like this throughout his tenure of service whereas an Assistant (Cypher) is posted 3 years in India and 6 years in foreign and like thisDIVISIONAL ACCOUNTANTThis is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,200.This post comes under CAG and this organisation only allocate the states/zones to DAs. The allocation is made to different different states’ AG offices as per the position of merit and state preferences of an individual. They discharge the role of Financial Advisers tothe Executive Engineers and ensure a measure of proficiency in the accounting of public works transactions besides serving the needs ofinternal audit.There are some departments in every state like agriculture; irrigation; etc. Each such department is further divided into some divisions. The head of the accounting branch of such division is called DIVISIONAL ACCOUNTANT. He has to see everything regarding expenses incurred on an item falling into his area; make estimation of an expense to be incurred on an item and make budget regarding the same; and etc. The final decision is to be taken by his seniors who normally dont make an objection on the file put by the Division Accountant. All in all this post is reported to be very good. I have heard that this post does not exist in Delhi.The next promotional post is Divisional Accountant Officer.Statistical Investigator-IIThis is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,200.Office Posting: All type of clerical work like Noting, Drafting, Dispatching of documents, etc.; and Data Entry, Analysis, Tabulation, Compiling and Editing of Data, Data Encoding etc.Field Posting: Data collection of any type of area like agricultural, ration etc, preparing rough sketch maps of areas to be enumerated etc. When on a field work he is entitled for certain allowances; Rs 500 or roundabout.Promotions: Statistical Investigator-I (Group-B Gazetted), Assistant Director, Deputy Director, Joint Director and so on.Tax Assistant in CBDTThis is a post in the pay band 5,200-20,200 with grade pay of RS 2,400.Tax Assistant in CBDT can be posted at two levels———–either in assessment of tax or in non-assessment. When he is posted in assessment he is supposed to do the work related to assessment of the income tax of an individual or a partnership firm or a company or as the case maybe; and he is to feed that data in the computer. He could also be asked to do any clerical work like work related to DIARY AND DISPATCH, noting, drafting etc. He could also be asked to accompany the RAID team. When he is posted at a seat that belongs to non-assessment he is supposed to do only clerical work. He also gets a SIM from the department on which all STD or LOCAL calls on any phone of BSNL or MTNL are totally free. On phones of other companies he can make free calls upto 400 minutes a month; whether local or STD or both types. This SIM is provided to every TA in CBDT irrespective of type of the seat he is posted at.Promotions:Sr TA, ITI, ITO (Group-B gazetted); Assistant commissioner and so on.His next promotion is to the post of Sr TA for which 3 years of service is a qualification; means he cant be promoted to that post before 3 years of his tenure in the post of TA. Besides a departmental exam (in the name of DEPARTMENTAL EXAM FOR MINISTERIAL STAFF) too is a must to pass for promotion. He can appear in this exam anytime after his joining; according to the schedule declared. But this exam is just an eligibility; means he can be promoted only according to his seniority. After promoted to Sr TA he is promoted to ITI. For being promoted to ITI there is a departmental exam too which TA also can take but anytime after passing the departmental exam for Sr TA.Inspector of Posts (IP)This is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,200Inspector of posts is there with every postal division. There must be 2 or more divisions in each district. This is the worst post SSC is offering. Presently IP must go to canvass people for getting Postal Life Insurance and also they have to aquire a huge sum for the department. Presently The Department of Posts has given instructions to all circles to enhance their growth by 20 percent. All such burden comes on IPs.Preventive Officer (PO)Again this is an inspector post also; and posted in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,600.If posted in Headquarter—-Clerical/File workIf posted in the field (like an airport/coast etc)—-Executive work e.g. prevention of smuggling, assessment of customs duty on goods, can arrest, seize , search, detain etc. on any kind of doubt of smuggling, and etc. Duty is round the clock (You have to work in day/night shift).Uniform (Ashoka Stambha with 2 yellow strips) is a must.His promotions in the order are Superintendent (Group-B Gazetted), Assistant Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner and so on.

Promotion period differs from zone to zone since there is zonal seniority.This post like the Examiner posts lies in 11 coastal cities only.On airports in other places other than the coastal cities Excise Inspectors are posted and they only perform the duties of a Preventive Officer, and hence are seen in white uniform.Courtesy of SANTOSH ANAND (Preventive Officer)Central Excise InspectorThis is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,600.If posted in Headquarter—-Clerical/File workIf posted in the field (like a range etc)—-Executive work e.g. augmentation of central excise & Service tax etc, detection of evasion of taxes etc.Uniform (khaki) is there but generally optional to wear.His promotions in the order are Superintendent (Group-B Gazetted), Assistant Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner and so on.

Promotion period differs from zone to zone since there is zonal seniority.

If a vacancy is not available promotion will take more than 3 years. The pay-band for Sr Auditor is 9,300-34,800 and grade pay of Rs 4,200. But an Auditor can also appear in the SAS Exam after two years of qualifying service at the post if he is confirmed. After passing the exam he becomes AAO (Assistant Audit Officer) which is a Group-B gazetted post in the pay-band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of Rs 4,800. After becoming AAO i this way, means through promotion, he does not need to take any further exam.if a person is recruited as an Auditor, he has to pass three stages of S.A.S. exam namely: 1. Preliminary, 2, Part-I, and 3. Part-II for S.A.S. Apprentices. If a person is already an S.A.S, he is exempted from taking the preliminary stage of the exam. After clearing all the stages of the exam AAO. After this there is no other exam in this department (CGDA).An Auditor can also to be asked to go on official tours sometimes which may run several months.Assistant CSSThis is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,600.An Assistant in CSS can be promoted to the next post i.e. SO (Group-B Gazetted) in two ways………….one by taking departmental exam and passing it and secondly without. One becomes eligible for the departmental exam after completion of 5 years of service…….means he could become an SO after 6 years. Otherwise one generally gets promotion in around 10 years of service.An Assistant in CSS is posted in various ministries and is a DELHI job primarily. The best post for persons aspiring to spend their whole service tenure in Delhi and willing to prepare for higher/further exams.Nature of Work:Be it CSS or Railway or any other department; an ASSISTANT has to do clerical work; but he is much above an LDC. His work is generally refined. This post is equal to a HEAD CLERK.Promotions:1. SO which is a group-B gazetted post with GP of Rs 4,800.

Forget about any extra income as CBI keeps a strict watch on its people.This is supposed to be a very powerful and influential post due to very nature of work. Any IT Inspector/ Examiner or for that matter any other central govt servant will vouch for the fact that CBI is a much feared organisation. I can’t say about higher bureaucracy like IAS etc, but for middle and lower level officers, once they come under the scanner, it is very difficult to get away.Life in CBI is stressful due to heavy workload and deadlines there. Training duration is 32 weeks involving physical training and training on criminal and anti-corruption laws. During the training the daily physical activity includes 2 km run, PT, Drill in the morning and Games/Unarmed Combat Course in the evening.Friends, as it’s generally thought it is not a 24 x 7 job; but sometimes the work streches beyond the usual working hours i.e. sometimes one has to work till 8 or 9 pm. Usually on Saturdays, if the workload is more, the work goes on as usual; though Sundays are spared. Also in some branches like Special Crime etc, the job involves a fair bit of travelling especially in the starting years. The nature and hours of work also differs from branch to branch and place to place. Some branches have less workload and so the personnel can take it easy. No uniform required.Sub Inspectors in CBI or for that matter any rank in CBI does not possess revolver/pistol. In a very few cases, when a search is to be carried out in some dangenrous places, weapons are issued to the staff. The officers of CBI themselves are not interested in carrying weapon.Promotions:The first promotion is for the post of Inspector and it takes 4-5 years normally. The next is for the post of DSP, which takes about 10-12 year after becoming Inspector.Courtesy of VIVEK CHAUDHARY (SI in CBI)Income Tax Inspector (ITI):An ITI generally can be posted at either of the two types of seats which are transferable on cyclic basis.

One of the main reasons is faster promotions as compared to the other posts of CGLE.Examiner posts lie in 11 coastal cities only.Preventive Officer (PO):Again this is an inspector post also; and posted in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,600.If posted in Headquarter—-Clerical/File workIf posted in the field (like an airport/coast etc)—-Executive work e.g. prevention of smuggling, assessment of customs duty on goods, can arrest, seize , search, detain etc. on any kind of doubt of smuggling, and etc. Duty is round the clock (You have to work in day/night shift).Uniform (Ashoka Stambha with 2 yellow strips) is a must.His promotions in the order are Superintendent (Group-B Gazetted), Assistant Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner and so on. There is a qualifying period of 8 years for the promotion to the post of Superintendent; means he cant be promoted to that post before completion of eight years of service as PO. There is a departmental exam for confirmation; without passing in that he cant be made confirmed; nor he can be promoted to the next post. Promotion period differs from zone to zone since there is zonal seniority.This post like the Examiner posts lies in 11 coastal cities only.Central Excise InspectorThis is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,600.If posted in Headquarter—-Clerical/File workIf posted in the field (like a range etc)—-Executive work e.g. augmentation of central excise & Service tax etc, detection of evasion of taxes etc.Uniform (khaki) is there but generally optional to wear.His promotions in the order are Superintendent (Group-B Gazetted), Assistant Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner and so on. There is a qualifying period of 8 years for the promotion to the post of Superintendent; means he cant be promoted to that post before completion of eight years of service as Excise Inspector. There is a departmental exam for confirmation; without passing in that he cant be made confirmed; nor he can be promoted to the next post. Promotion period differs from zone to zone since there is zonal seniority. These posts are everywhere in the country.Assistant Enforcement Officer (AEO)This is an inspector post also; and posted in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,600.If posted in Headquarter—-Clerical/File workIf posted in the field—-Executive work e.g. prevention of money laundering, to conduct searches of suspected persons, conveyances and premises and seize incriminating materials (including Indian and foreign currencies involved), to arrest and prosecute the person suspected to be involved in the act of money laundering, etc.His promotions in the order are Enforcement Officer (Group-B Gazetted), Assistant Director, Deputy Director and so on.There are ten Zonal Offices of the Directorate at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Chennai, Cochin, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow and Mumbai. The Zonal Offices are headed by the Deputy Directors.The Directorate has eleven Sub Zonal Offices at Bhubaneswar, Calicut, Guwahati, Indore, Jaipur, Jalandhar, Madurai, Nagpur, Patna, Srinagar and Varanasi, which are headed by the Assistant Directors.Inspector of Posts (IP)This is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,600Inspector of posts is there with every postal division. There must be 2 or more divisions in each district. This is the worst post SSC is offering. Presently IP must go to canvass people for getting Postal Life Insurance and also they have to aquire a huge sum for the department. Presently The Department of Posts has given instructions to all circles to enhance their growth by 20 percent. All such burden comes on IPs.SI in CBIThis is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,200; but it’s almost equal to the total salary for the grade pay of Rs 4,600 as CBI executive staff is entitled to additional 25% on BASIC PAY + DA and in addition to that salary of 13 months instead of 12 months each year. Forget about any extra income as CBI keeps a strict watch on its people.This is supposed to be a very powerful and influential post due to very nature of work. Any IT Inspector/ Examiner or for that matter any other central govt servant will vouch for the fact that CBI is a much feared organisation. I can’t say about higher bureaucracy like IAS etc, but for middle and lower level officers, once they come under the scanner, it is very difficult to get away.Life in CBI is stressful due to heavy workload and deadlines there. Training duration is 32 weeks involving physical training and training on criminal and anti-corruption laws. During the training the daily physical activity includes 2 km run, PT, Drill in the morning and Games/Unarmed Combat Course in the evening.Friends, as it’s generally thought it is not a 24 x 7 job; but sometimes the work streches beyond the usual working hours i.e. sometimes one has to work till 8 or 9 pm. Usually on Saturdays, if the workload is more, the work goes on as usual; though Sundays are spared. Also in some branches like Special Crime etc, the job involves a fair bit of travelling especially in the starting years. The nature and hours of work also differs from branch to branch and place to place. Some branches have less workload and so the personnel can take it easy. No uniform required.Sub Inspectors in CBI or for that matter any rank in CBI does not possess revolver/pistol. In a very few cases, when a search is to be carried out in some dangenrous places, weapons are issued to the staff. The officers of CBI themselves are not interested in carrying weapon.Assistant CSSThis is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,http://600.As this is now the lowest post in CSS one is supposed to do every work that a clerk does; like typing, noting, drafting and all file work. Without typing you cant do. I have learnt that SO, Under Secretary and even Deputy Secretary has to do the same kind of work except some minor change.An Assistant in CSS can be promoted to the next post i.e. SO (Group-B Gazetted) in two ways………….one by taking departmental exam and passing it and secondly without. One becomes eligible for the departmental exam after completion of 5 years of service…….means he could become an SO after 6 years. Otherwise one generally gets promotion in around 10 years of service.Status and Power wise this job is not considered to be rather good upto Under secretary level in CSS. Means nothing much associated to this. Yeah NO CORRUPTION! An Assistant in CSS is posted in various various ministries and is a DELHI job primarily.Promotions……..1. SO which is a group-B gazetted post with GP of Rs 4,800. An SO is fixed in the next GP of 5,400 in Pay Band-II itself after completion of 4 years service as SO.2. Under Secretary with GP of Rs 6,6003. Deputy Secretary with GP of Rs 7,6004. Director with GP of Rs 8,700Assistant in RailwayThis is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,http://600.As I have learnt an Assistant in Railway is generally posted at RAIL BHAWAN. Mind Rail Bhawan is in Delhi itself. If it’s so it should be better than CSS as an Assistant in Railway gets some additional benefits like; a little over double of the bonus that the employees of other govt organisations get (around Rs 8,000 a year) and free All India Railway AC Pass/es. Also you might be getting some kind of benefits in Ticket Reservation etc. As far as promotion prospects here are concerned they might be a little slower than CSS. Yeah no much corruption!An Assistant in Railways gets 1 pass for family ( to and fro) anywhere in India free and 3 passes for family (to and fro) in which he pays 1/3rd of the total amount of fare….all this is for tier-2 AC ticket…..then railway has its own railway homes all over India; so u can stay there at a very cheap rate if u using railway passes.Assistant in MEA & Assistant (Cypher) in MEAThis is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,600.The most sought after Assistant post under CGLE due to charm of foreign posting and many other lucrative facilities like children’s education, accommodation etc and a very handsome salary of more than 1 lakh per month (perhaps upto Rs 1,25,000). But one can be posted in countries like Afganistan, Pakistan, Irak, Libya too; but nothing to fear on this count as while sending one to an other country on posting he is given a few choices for the needed postings and he is posted according to those choices preferably. If one chooses any of the countries mentioned he is given 50% more salary and his tenure there is counted as DOUBLE; means he has to serve there for one and a half year which is counted equal to three years. Cyphor Asst. is a little different from Asst. (general) because they have to do the task of coding and decoding of some highly confidential language in addition. Cypher has night shifts also and has to work for 6 days. A system of 2 days off and 2 days will be night shift…..so no Sat Sun like system.Cyphor Asst gets more foreign postings than general Asst but the promotional avenues are better in General Asst. In MEA the promotional chances are very less and one can go up to the level of Under Secretary (US). He can be promoted to the next post in two ways—–i) Direct after 15-17 years ii) After 8 years or so after clearing departmental exams.An Assistant (General) is supposed to be posted generally 3 years in India and 3 years in foreign and like this throughout his tenure of service whereas an Assistant (Cypher) is posted 3 years in India and 6 years in foreign and like thisDIVISIONAL ACCOUNTANTThis is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,200.This post comes under CAG and this organisation only allocate the states/zones to DAs. The allocation is made to different different states’ AG offices as per the position of merit and state preferences of an individual. They discharge the role of Financial Advisers tothe Executive Engineers and ensure a measure of proficiency in the accounting of public works transactions besides serving the needs ofinternal audit.There are some departments in every state like agriculture; irrigation; etc. Each such department is further divided into some divisions. The head of the accounting branch of such division is called DIVISIONAL ACCOUNTANT. He has to see everything regarding expenses incurred on an item falling into his area; make estimation of an expense to be incurred on an item and make budget regarding the same; and etc. The final decision is to be taken by his seniors who normally dont make an objection on the file put by the Division Accountant. All in all this post is reported to be very good. I have heard that this post does not exist in Delhi.The next promotional post is Divisional Accountant Officer.Statistical Investigator-IIThis is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,200.Office Posting: All type of clerical work like Noting, Drafting, Dispatching of documents, etc.; and Data Entry, Analysis, Tabulation, Compiling and Editing of Data, Data Encoding etc.Field Posting: Data collection of any type of area like agricultural, ration etc, preparing rough sketch maps of areas to be enumerated etc. When on a field work he is entitled for certain allowances; Rs 500 or roundabout.Promotions: Statistical Investigator-I (Group-B Gazetted), Assistant Director, Deputy Director, Joint Director and so on.AUDITORThis is a post in the pay band 5,200-20,200 with grade pay of RS 2,800.He has to pass a confirmatory exam first to be confirmed. He becomes Sr Auditor automatically after the completion of three CALENDER YEARS service as Auditor subject to his confirmation. The pay-band for Sr Auditor is 5,200-20,200 and grade pay of Rs 4,200. But an Auditor can also appear in the SAS Exam after two years of qualifying service at the post if he is confirmed. After passing the exam he becomes AAO (Assistant Audit Officer) which is a Group-B gazetted post in the pay-band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of Rs 4,800. But while on this post of AAO he has to pass certain departmental exam which has papers that are extremely difficult in nature. If they are not passed within a certain period he is subjected to be demoted to the Auditor post again. BIG DRAWBACK!An Auditor can also to be asked to go on official tours sometimes which may run for good 9 months period even.Tax Assistant in CBDTThis is a post in the pay band 5,200-20,200 with grade pay of RS 2,400.Tax Assistant in CBDT can be posted at two levels———–either in assessment of tax or in non-assessment. When he is posted in assessment he is supposed to do the work related to assessment of the income tax of an individual or a partnership firm or a company or as the case maybe; and he is to feed that data in the computer. He could also be asked to do any clerical work like work related to DIARY AND DISPATCH, noting, drafting etc. He could also be asked to accompany the RAID team. When he is posted at a seat that belongs to non-assessment he is supposed to do only clerical work. He also gets a SIM from the department on which all STD or LOCAL calls on any phone of BSNL or MTNL are totally free. On phones of other companies he can make free calls upto 400 minutes a month; whether local or STD or both types. This SIM is provided to every TA in CBDT irrespective of type of the seat he is posted at.Promotions:Sr TA, ITI, ITO (Group-B gazetted); Assistant commissioner and so on.His next promotion is to the post of Sr TA for which 3 years of service is a qualification; means he cant be promoted to that post before 3 years of his tenure in the post of TA. Besides a departmental exam (in the name of DEPARTMENTAL EXAM FOR MINISTERIAL STAFF) too is a must to pass for promotion. He can appear in this exam anytime after his joining; according to the schedule declared. But this exam is just an eligibility; means he can be promoted only according to his seniority. After promoted to Sr TA he is promoted to ITI. For being promoted to ITI there is a departmental exam too which TA also can take but anytime after passing the departmental exam for Sr TA.Apart from this post two new post are introduce this yearInspector in NarcoticsSI in Narcotics
