As many as 15 customs and central excise personnel, including two of commissioner rank, have been sacked in the last few weeks. A little-used rule 56J that authorises the government to review the performance of an employee who is 50 years old or has completed 35 years of service was employed to do away with the services of these sacked officers.
While the sacking may or may not encourage officials to perform better, it may surely motivate them to improve their PR with their bosses.
Rule 56J of the fundamental rules of the department of personnel and training was last used by the Central Board of Excise and Customs in 1985.
