Cadre Restructuring in Central Board of Excise and Customs ( relates to examiner , preventive officer, excise inspector )

Promotions to Assistant Commissioner is where the cadre of examiner , preventive and excise merge.

Earlier promotions were made in ratio 1:2:6 respectively for examiner:preventive:excise. But the cadre of excise has much larger cadre than both and even a ratio of 6 could not give them good promotions. Whereas Examiner has very less personnel in its cadre so even a ratio of 1  is excellent.

Now after cadre restructuring , promotion ratio has changed to 1:2:13 so the extra 7 ranks in ratio will certainly mean much better progress for excise inspectors who are stagnating at various posts. This certainly means Achche Din for Excise Inspectors because when there are 16 vanacies for AC then 13 will go to excise promotee, 2 will go to preventive promotee, 1 will go to examiner promotee.

So people can give Excise Inspectors high preference in SSC CGL post preference order.
