 Today, the General Secretary of the FCI Employees Association (CITU) has submitted a representation before the Chairman & Managing Director of Food Corporation of India demanding immediate #recruitment against the existing vacancies in Category III & Category IV posts across the Corporation.

The Association highlighted the serious shortage of manpower in various offices and depots and pointed out that around 10000 vacancies are presently awaiting recruitment. The letter emphasized that the last major recruitment for Category III posts was conducted in 2022 and for Category IV posts in 2017, after which no adequate recruitment has taken place despite increasing retirements and operational requirements.

Simultaneously, the Association has requested the intervention of Shri Dr. V. Sivadasan MP, Shri K. Radhakrishnan MP , and Shri John Brittas MP to take up this important matter with Shri Pralhad Joshi, Hon’ble Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution.

The Association strongly demands that recruitment notifications may be issued at the earliest in the interest of efficient functioning of FCI and to provide employment opportunities to thousands of deserving job aspirants waiting for FCI recruitment. #fci #fcijob #fcivacancy #fciexam #Fcirecruitment 

Income tax exemption on the enhanced #gratuity amount of ₹25 lakhs

(9-3-26) Dear comrades, Many serving as well as retired employees of the Food Corporation of India and officials of the management have brought to our notice the issue regarding non-availability of income tax exemption on the enhanced #gratuity amount of ₹25 lakhs. Although the Government of India has revised the gratuity ceiling from ₹20 lakhs to ₹25 lakhs, the income tax exemption under Section 10(10) of the Income Tax Act has not yet been correspondingly revised. As a result, the additional amount of ₹5 lakhs is presently being subjected to income tax deduction.

Taking serious note of the concerns raised by employees and retirees, the FCI Employees Association (CITU) has today submitted a detailed representation to the Chairman, Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) requesting necessary amendment to extend income tax exemption for gratuity up to ₹25 lakhs in line with the revised ceiling.

Simultaneously, we have also requested the Chairman & Managing Director, Food Corporation of India to take up this matter with the CBDT and the concerned authorities of the Government of India so that the intended benefit of enhanced gratuity reaches employees and retirees in full.
The Association will continue to pursue the matter with the concerned authorities until a favorable decision is taken. All employees and retirees are requested to stay assured that we are actively following up the issue in the interest of the entire #FCI fraternity.

Yours fraternally
