Cir. No. 27/12-15 Dated: 8th July, 2013.
Dear Comrades,
Natural Calamity in Uttarakhand: It is needless to state here the horror and tragedy of the loss of human lives and unprecedented destruction of homes and livelihoods in the state of Uttarakhand during the foods, which continues to unfold even today. It is known to all of us that hundreds of villages have also been washed away alongwith thousands of human lives. The Prime Minister appealed to all concerned that – “At this moment, the affected people need our help to tide over the calamity that has fallen upon them, to survive and to rebuild their lives. I request all citizens of India to stand with our distressed fellow countrymen, and actively participate in the national effort to support them at this difficult time”.
Responding to the appeal of the Prime Minister, the Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers has called upon the entirety of Central Govt. Employees to donate one day’s salary to the Prime Minister Relief Fund and extend full support in rehabilitation and reconstruction. Accordingly, the ITEF calls upon all its members to donate one day salary for the above cause. For faster and proper remittance of the fund, we have requested the Chairperson, CBDT to direct all the Chief Commissioners (CCA) to effect the deduction from the salary and remit the same to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund directly. Copy of the letter addressed to the Chairperson is appended below. We hope all our members, as they do always, will rise to the occasion and join our movement in providing support to them at this difficult time.
Cadre Restructuring & Implementation Committees: Please recall our message and copy of JCA”s letter addressed to the Chairperson, CBDT, placed on the website, wherein we have informed you that the Central Board of Direct Taxes has formed Core Committee and various sub-committees to implement the Cadre Restructuring proposal approved by the Cabinet, without giving representation to the JCA. We have also requested all of you not to involve or associate with such committees at Circle level till our representatives are included in the apex Committee at Board level. Today, on 8th July, 2013, in the open session of the ITGOA Managing Committee Meeting the Member (P&V), Member (Inv) and Member (Revenue) were present. In the meeting both the undersigned and Secretary General of ITGOA raised this issued and conveyed our resentments. In reply the Member (P&V) announced that the Board has already decided to include the representatives of the JCA in all committees and at all levels. The Committee at the apex level will be reconstituted within a week and all the Chief Commissioners have been directed to include the JCA members in the Committees at that level also. In view of this we have decided not to embark upon any agitation on this issue and request all the Circle General Secretaries to nominate our representatives to the Committees that are being formed at the Charge level.

Madam,
Sub: Natural Calamity of Uttarakhand- Donation of One Day’s Salary by
Income Tax Employees- Request for deduction- Regarding-
It is needless to state here the horror and tragedy of the loss of human lives and unprecedented destruction of homes and livelihoods in the Kedarnath, Chamoli and other regions of Uttarakhand, which continues to unfold even today. It is known to all of us that hundreds of villages have also been washed away alongwith thousands of human lives.
The Income Tax Employees Federation felt it imperative on its part to devote our energy and resource into providing relief and succour to those affected and rebuilding the lost property and infrastructure and rehabilitation of the people. We have, therefore, decided to bestow one day’s salary towards the above objectives, through the Prime Ministers Relief Fund. We have also called upon all our members to donate the same to the PMRF.
Since all the Non-gazetted employees are our members and with a view to ensure speedy and proper remittance of the fund, we request your goodself to kindly issue necessary directions to the Cadre Controlling Authorities to effect the deduction and remit the funds to the Prime Ministers Relief Fund. For the purpose of deduction the One Day’s salary may be calculated on the Pay, Grade Pay and Dearness Allowance only, as other allowances like HRA, TA etc. are not uniform and vary according to places and postings etc. If any member wants to opt out from the donation, (s)he may be permitted to do so.
An early action in this regard is solicited.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
