N R PARMAR IS CASE SPECIFIC ONLY CONNECTED WITH gujarat ITIs of 93-94 year. Every DR ITI is trying to join the bandwagon by manipulation n by projecting illogical interpretation with the help of selfish ITGOANs.

yes I agree with Mr.Anonymous (October 17,2014 at 9.14PM). The interpretation of the decision of the Supreme Court by the CBDT itself is wrong. One day or the other they will realize that. The prepaid services by the DRs will cost them dearly.

If he has done it then he has done the right thing. Second thing he should do it to introduce a lucrative VRS SCHEME especially for the INCOME TAX DEPARTMENT. taking advantage of the scheme a good amount if "kachra" ( from gr. A to gr. C ) may exit AND CORRUPT PRACTICES WILL REDUCE ATLEAST TO SOME EXTENT.

Please PM sahab start the scheme and help nation building.

What is executive instructions on promotions?

It is like NPS implemented on executive order before passage of Bill in Parliament. Whether the executive instructions from Board before approval of RR by DoPT is maintainable as that of executive order of GoI which is normally issued after cabinet nod is a question here.
