Today, we are going to discuss the difference between the Assistant Post in CSS(Central Secretariat Services) and Inspector in Income-tax OR Excise. These two posts are very popular at the time of selection of posts in Combined Graduate Level Examination conducted by Staff Selection Commission - SSC. Below, I have given a breif overview about these two posts. I will discuss them later in full.
| Job Profile | Assistant in CSS (Desk Job) | Income Tax/Excise Inspectors |
| Status | Desk job | Field job. |
| Work Pressure / Stress | Low | Work Pressure / stress is high |
| Flexibility for Career | Good for preparing UPSC (because you’re in Delhi, the Mecca of UPSC preparation) | Most candidates try to find suitable place in the department itself as Promotion to Higher Posts i.e. Commissioner of Income-tax and others. |
| Income / Extra Income | Low | You can earn more (via bribes), provided that you know your job, duties well, otherwise people (your own colleges and bosses) will stab you in the back and you’ll be suspended. |
| Transfers & Postings | Permanent posting in Delhi until you retire. | Transfers, deputation, field posting. |
| Departmental Benefits | Once you get promoted to Under Secretary, you get free air-tickets during travel. | Not applicable. But you get free petrol, free mobile phones, SIM card etc in some jobs. |
| Uniforms | No Uniform | No uniform for Income Tax Inspectors but Inspector of Excise needs to wear uniform occasionally. |
| Working Hours | Probably Fixed Hours of Work. Normally Office to Home, Home to Office. | Sometime needs to work beyond working hours. Even on Saturdays and Sunday also. |
| Adventure | No adventurous job. Just deal with files and office work. | Includes some adventure like raids, surveys etc. but without any danger. |
| Especially for those who want to enjoy life with family, social life and peace of mind. | This job gives you name, fame, money but at the cost of social life. |
So, now you might have some idea about these two featured posts for CGL. One thing that you should keep in mind while selecting / opting for any of the above posts and that is "Peace of Mind". Yes, people those who are earning better and much for their living also have peace of mind but your job should not be like as to burden your mind all time with the work pressure. People often got selected for Assistant in CSS may not be a happy person whose intentions are much high in monetary terms, on the other hand, people in Income-tax OR Excise Department may also come through the pressure which they want to neglect. In that case, you must be wise and honest with your destiny. Selecting a wrong choice may lead to frustration, fatigue, pressure. While a good job can bring a smile on your face while leaving or becoming a part of any department.
Now, we will talk about promotions in both the above mentioned posts and their other salient features :
First, Let's talk about Assistant in CSS :
Promotion to a candidate selected for Assistant in CSS is very fast as compared to Assistant in other ministries and departments.
1. You join as Assistant
2. After passing departmental exams that is conducted by UPSC every year. after 5-8 years, you will be promoted as Section Officer,
Note : If you could not pass the Department Exam for SO by UPSC, then promotion time may further be extended upto 10 to 12 years.
3. Once you will be a Section Officer (SO), next promotion will enhance your career to Under Secretary
4. After that, you will be promoted as Deputy Secretary
5. and then, Joint Secretary.
6. and finally, Secretary.
Well, we have another options as Assistant in Ministry of External Affairs.
Now, Let's Talk about Income-tax Department.
1. You join as Inspector of Income-tax i.e. ITI,
2. Promotion procedure is again very good in Income-tax Department, they conduct departmental exams every year approx. in June to Sept.
3. As Inspector, you will be appearing for Income-tax officer (Gazetted Officer - Group - B), after passing this exam, within 4-6 years, you will be an Income-tax Officer ( ITO ).
4. Then, you will become Assistant Commissioner of Income-tax (ACIT)
5. After that, Deputy Commissioner of Income-Tax, (DCIT)
6. then Joint Commissioner of Income-tax, ( JCIT)
7. the, Commissioner of Income-tax i.e. CIT
8. and finally, Chief Commissioner of Income-tax (CCIT). Generally candidates coming from Indian Revenue Service ((IRS), will be promoted to this post as their career starts from ACIT (Assistant Commissioner of Income-tax). Becoming CCIT requires vast span of time. Candidates coming from Inspector Posts have very few chances. If you are inspired to be a CCIT one day, Forget CGL and go for Civil Service Examination and get selected for IRS (Indian Revenue Service).
I will update this article whenever something new crops up. Till then, Good Luck...
