This is completely false. You clearly don’t understand how these departments actually function. I know what you see from outside, but the reality is bitter. Let me explain the IRS and SDM separately. First, the IRS. The IRS has created an entire hierarchy of posts exclusively for itself, while discriminatory policies prevent subordinate cadres from rising beyond AC/DC. Look at the hierarchy: Assistant Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, Joint Commissioner, Additional Commissioner, Commissioner, Principal Commissioner, Chief Commissioner, Principal Chief Commissioner, Member and Chairman. Under the GST Act, substantive work rarely extends beyond Additional Commissioner, yet numerous higher posts, offices and directorates have been created merely to accommodate promotions, with redundant or overlapping functions. They have no work. They just unnecessarily move files to show they have work, The IRS has captured CBIC through organised cadre monopoly. They perform virtually no original work. Adjudication orders, investigations, scrutiny, audit, appeal and departmental reports are prepared by subordinates. Senior officers only sign them. ACs and DCs still have some work, but from JC upwards, they are practically killing flies. Most of the IRS have never seen GST returns in their career. Above JC/ADC, their real activity begins during transfer seasons: selling lucrative postings, placing their favoured officers and arranging monthly flows of illegal income. They also control departmental resources, misappropriate Secret Service Funds running into crores, misuse official vehicles involving expenditure of hundreds of crores, , take 3-4 times office space against their norms of 250 sqft (capturing 1000-1500 sqft) and enjoy and misappropriate other financial privileges. In total, they are there to suck most of the department juice and shelter and thrive over corruption. Now come to SDMs. Most SDMs hold field postings with enormous opportunities for illegal earnings. I bet even if an SDM broke his leg, he wouldn’t take leave. Why? Because additional charge might go to another officer who would take away his share of the earnings. They work extraordinarily hard when it comes to collecting money, pleasing seniors and political leaders, and protecting lucrative postings. But not when it comes to serving citizens. When a single posting can generate ₹10–50 crore in illegal earnings, anyone would be willing to work even on one leg! Don’t confuse working hard to accumulate illegal wealth with working hard for citizens. @khurpenchh @cbic_india @FinMinIndia @VivekGa54515036 @narendramodi @RahulGandhi
