1. Income Tax Inspector (ITI)
An ITI generally can be posted at either of the two types of seats which are transferable on cyclic basis. Work related to assessment of tax or non-assessment of tax. When on an assessment seat he is supposed to see the work related to assessment of income tax to be imposed on an individual, partnership firm, company etc; and refund of it in case someone has deposited in excess. He also has to see the work related to TAX DEDUCTION AT SOURCE (TDS) besides being accompanying a raid team. An ITI on non-assessment seat generally has to do do clerical work though he too could be asked to accompany a raid team.
His promotions in the order are ITO, Assistant Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner and so on. He is posted in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,600. He is entitled for 30 liter of petrol if posted on assessment seat. 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.
3. EXAMINER
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 work. If posted in the field—-Executive work e.g. to examine the goods imported or to be exported and assessing duty on that
This is not an uniform post. Examiner posts lie in 11 coastal cities only.
His promotions in the order are Appraiser (Group-B Gazetted), Assistant Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner and so on. There is a qualifying period of 3 years for the promotion to the post of Appraiser; means he cant be promoted to that post before completion of three years service as Examiner. This post is considered to be the best among all CGL posts. One of the main reasons is faster promotions as compared to the other posts of CGL.
Again this is an inspector post also; and posted in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,600.

2. Central Excise Inspector
This is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay of RS 4,600.
If posted in Headquarter—-Clerical/File work Uniform (khaki) is there but
generally optional to wear.
If 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. Promotions are very slow in excise department as of now.
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.
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 work. If posted in the field—-Executive work e.g. to examine the goods imported or to be exported and assessing duty on that

This post is considered to be the best among all CGL posts. One of the main reasons is faster promotions as compared to the other posts of CGL.
4. 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 work. Uniform
(Ashoka Stambha with 2 yellow strips) is a must in field. This post like
the Examiner posts lies in 11 coastal cities only.
If posted in the field (like an airport/coast

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).
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.
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.
5. 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. His promotions in the order are
Enforcement Officer (Group-B Gazetted), Assistant Director, Deputy Director and
so on.
If posted in Headquarter—-Clerical/File work.
If 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

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.
6. Assistant in Railway
This is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay
of RS 4,600.
Assistant in Railway is generally posted at RAIL BHAWAN in
Delhi , as one goes up in his career he can opt for deputation in PSU companies
which come under Ministry of Railway. It is better than CSS as 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. You may get preference in Ticket
Reservation etc . As far as promotion prospects here are concerned they might
be a little slower or equivalent to CSS.
Railway employees can go on less costlier holidays as
railway has its own railway homes all over India; so u can stay there at a very
cheap.
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-III (15,600-39,100)
after completion of 4 years service as SO; but he continues to be in Group-B.
2. Under Secretary with GP of Rs 6,600
3. Deputy Secretary with GP of Rs 7,600
4. Director with GP of Rs 8,700
5. Joint Secretary with 10,000 (few reach to this post , if
entry in service is at early age ).
7. Assistant CSS
This 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
or UDC . His work is generally refined.
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-III (15,600-39,100)
after completion of 4 years service as SO; but he continues to be in Group-B.
2. Under Secretary with GP of Rs 6,600
3. Deputy Secretary with GP of Rs 7,600
4. Director with GP of Rs 8,700
8. Assistant in MEA and Assistant (Cypher) in MEA
This 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.
Cypher 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 this
9. DIVISIONAL ACCOUNTANT
This is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay
of RS 4,200. The next promotional post is Divisional Accountant Officer.
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 to the Executive
Engineers and ensure a measure of proficiency in the accounting of public works
transactions besides serving the needs of internal 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.
10. Statistical Investigator-II
This is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay
of RS 4,200. Promotions: Statistical Investigator-I (Group-B Gazetted),
Assistant Director, Deputy Director, Joint Director and so on.
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.
11. Inspector of Posts (IP)
This is a post in the pay band 9,300-34,800 with grade pay
of RS 4,200.
Inspector 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.
12. SI in CBI
This 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.
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.
13. AUDITOR
This is a post in the pay band 5,200-20,200 with grade pay
of RS 2,800.An Auditor can also to be asked to go on official tours sometimes
which may run several months.
He has to pass a confirmatory exam first to be confirmed. 3
years compulsory service at the post is the minimum qualifying period for his
promotion to the next post of Sr Auditor; but subject to his confirmation. 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).
14. Tax Assistant in CBDT
This is a post in the pay band 5,200-20,200 with grade pay
of RS 2,400. Promotions: Sr TA, ITI, ITO (Group-B gazetted);
Assistant commissioner and so on.
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.
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.
