While homes across the country glow with the light of Diwali diyas, thousands of CGST Superintendents carry the disappointment of years of waiting. Behind every unfulfilled promotion is a family waiting, a hope postponed and a career left without progress. This Diwali, our only wish is that the long wait ends and the light of justice reaches every Superintendent's home. May the long-awaited promotions finally become a reality soon! --- आज जब देशभर के घर दीपों की रोशनी से जगमगा रहे हैं, तब हज़ारों CGST अधीक्षकों के मन में वर्षों से लंबित पदोन्नति की टीस है। हर लंबित पदोन्नति के साथ एक परिवार की उम्मीदें, वर्षों का इंतज़ार और बेहतर भविष्य की आस जुड़ी है। इस दीपावली हमारी बस यही उम्मीद है कि यह इंतज़ार समाप्त हो और हर अधीक्षक के घर खुशियों का दीप जले। आशा है कि वर्षों से प्रतीक्षित पदोन्नति का सपना जल्द ही साकार होगा! @cbic_india @dghrd_cbic @FinMinIndia @nsitharamanoffc #30YearsOnlyOnePromotion #AIASCT #ReleaseAISL #TimelyPromotions

Delhi Visit on 2nd & 3rd November 2026 Updates on Cadre Restructuring, AISL & DPC, and Other Key Service Matter. Pursuant to the meeting invitation issued by DGHRD, New Delhi, an AIASCT delegation attended the consultation held on 02.11.2026 under the chairmanship of the Chairman, CBIC, alongside the Member (Administration), the Director General (DGHRD), and other senior Board authorities. During the session, Team DGHRD delivered a detailed presentation on the proposed Cadre Restructuring in the presence of representatives from various cadre associations. 1.Cadre Restructuring As communicated earlier, the Board proposes to introduce a Branch B Service, broadly modelled on the IFS Branch B structure. Under this framework, Branch B officers will integrate with the Central Group ‘A’ Service at the level of Deputy Commissioner (DC) and progress alongside regular Group ‘A’ officers. Team AIASCT noted that more or less the suggestions and proposals submitted during our last meeting with DGHRD on 8th and 9th October 2026 and earlier meetings have been brought in into the current proposal. However, we strongly emphasised that the proposed provision of approximately 900 Deputy Commissioner posts is inadequate to meet future career progression requirements—especially given the large number of Superintendents awaiting promotion to Assistant Commissioner. Team AIASCT pressed for a substantial increase in DC posts to prevent acute stagnation among promotee Assistant Commissioners in the coming years. DGHRD noted our concern but indicated that the prescribed ratio under the IFS Branch B model places structural limits on further expanding DC-level posts. On 03.11.2026, Team AIASCT held a follow-up meeting with the Member (Administration), the Director General (DGHRD), and senior officials. DGHRD informed us that the proposal will shortly be placed before the Revenue Secretary and the Hon’ble Finance Minister for consideration. They assured us that AIASCT’s submissions would be accommodated to the maximum extent possible within prescribed norms so the proposal moves smoothly to the next stage of approval. Notably, the Board has proposed increasing the strength of Assistant Commissioner (Branch B) posts to approximately 5,500, while retaining direct recruitment of Inspectors in Pay Level-7. 2.All India Seniority List (AISL) and DPC (Superintendent to AC) Team AIASCT held separate meetings with the concerned sections and officers of CBIC overseeing the finalisation of the AISL and the conduct of the DPC for promotion from Superintendent to Assistant Commissioner. Concluding these engagements on 03.11.2026, the delegation met the Member (Administration), CBIC, and strongly pressed for the immediate resolution of the long-pending AISL and the consequent delay in holding the DPC. Senior CBIC officials acknowledged and appreciated the vital contributions of the Superintendent cadre and reiterated their commitment to finalising the AISL at the earliest. The Member (Administration) assured the delegation that the Board is actively pursuing the matter and making every effort to resolve it by December 2026. The Board also advised the Association to appeal to its members to allow the AISL and DPC processes to conclude smoothly without fresh litigation hurdles, in the larger interest of the cadre. 3.Mumbai Zone Regularisation & NFU Issue Team AIASCT met the Joint Secretary (Administration) and concerned officials to follow up on the pending regularisation of Superintendents and the grant of Non-Functional Upgradation (NFU) in the Mumbai Zone. During the discussions, AIASCT proposed convening a joint meeting between the Mumbai Zone Administration and the concerned Board officials to resolve the bottlenecks expeditiously. We will also coordinate closely with the Mumbai Zone unit for sustained follow-up. ...(1/2) @cbic_india @dghrd_cbic @cgstblrzone @AIASCTKARNATAKA @sgaiceia

🚨 AISL DELAY – THE ROADBLOCK TO PROMOTION! All India Seniority Lists for Superintendents have been pending from 2014 onwards.
