To

             Chief Executive of Constituent Organization &

 Conveners, of local JACs.

 

Dear Comrades,

 

MEETING WITH MINISTER OF STATE FOR FINANCE

        As informed already, a delegation Comprising Com. S. K. Vyas, Com. M. S. Raja, Chairman, Com. V. Bhattacharjee, Convener apex JAC and Com. A. K. Mehta, Convener, local JAC, Delhi met Shri Nomonarain Meena, Minister of State for Ministry of Finance on 18^th January 2010. This appointment materialised subsequent to the letter sent to him by apex JAC on 14/12/2009 (copy Circulated through earlier Circular).

 

      The delegation requested Hon'ble Minister to implement the arbitration award dated 24/08/2004 on grant of higher Pay Scales to the Accounts and Audit Employees with effect from 01/01/1986. The delegation also explained that the Govt. had restored parity between the Central Secretariat Assistants and Sr. Accountant/Auditors after the 4^th CPC. However, Govt. had upgraded the Pay Scale of Assistants of Central Secretariat unilaterally in 1990 retrospectively from 01/01/1986 denying the same to Sr. Accounts and Sr. Auditors. The parity between the Central Secretariat Assistants and Sr. Accountant/Auditors was however partially restored by granting it with effect from 01/01/1996 through an order in 2003. Subsequently the Board of arbitration had awarded that the party between the Central Secretariat Assistants and Sr. Accountant/Auditor should be restored w. e. f. 01/01/1986. In the negotiation on the award subsequently, Department of Expenditure had taken the position that, since there would be involvement of expenditure to tune of Rs. 625 crores for payment of arrears, govt. can not afford to implement the award. Appreciating the financial burden of the government, staff side had offered in writing to forgo the arrears and requested to grant the notional fixation benefit with effect from 01/01/1986 without any arrears. But the Department of Expenditure has not responded to this request favorably.

 

     The delegation, requested the H'ble Minister to kindly consider the proposal of staff side and take an early favorable decision in this respect. Responding to the request of the delegation, H'ble Minister informed that he has already received the letter of apex JAC inthis respect and directed his office to call for the informations from Expenditure Department.

 

COM. BASUDEV ACHARIA WROTE TO P. M.

     Through the Circular No:- 7/2009 dated 31/08/2009 we had Circulated the letter we had written to the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister urging upon them to implement the arbitration award notionally from 01.01.1986/01.011996 and actually from 01/01/2006.

 

     We had also requested Com. Basudev Acharia, MP for his intervention. Com. Acharia has taken up the meter with the Prime Minister. Copy the letter of Com. Basudev Acharia is furnished here under.

        The matter was discussed, during meeting with Additional Secretary, Department of Expenditure and Department of Personal and Training and it was proposed by the staff, that the actual payment of arrears on accounts of implementation of award may be paid with effect from 19^th February 2003 instead of 12/11/2001 as per the award. The JAC had also proposed through its letter dated 2^nd December 2008 to forego all the arrears and stated that the award may be implement notionally from 01.01.1986/01.01.1996 and actually from 01.01.2006, the date from which the higher Pay Scales have been granted as per the 6^th CPC recommendations.

Subject:- Request for settlement of long pending  demands of Accounts and Audit  Employees and Officers.

 

Sir,

            The 6^th Central Pay Commission did not do justice to Accounts and Audit Employees and while implementing the recommendations of 6^th Central Pay Commission, Government of India did not also take any favorable action to remove the injustice done by the Pay Commission. The Accounts and Audit employees have been consistently requesting the Government of India to resolve the grievances of the Accounts and Audit Employees regarding their pay scale related issues. But the Government has created further disparity between the Accounts &Audit cadres and the Cadres in Central Secretariat by upgrading the pay scales of Central Secretariat cadres. 

 

            Also, there are various other issues –enclosed herewith- that are pending for long without resolution. The employees and officers of IA&AD and Organised Accounts are agitated over the non upgradation of pay scales of Audit & Accounts Cadres at par with CSS and also over the inaction on other long pending grievances.

 

            It is therefore requested that, appropriate action for negotiated settlement of all the demands may kindly be taken at an early date.

 

            Thanking you,

Copy of the Joint Action Committee Of

Accounts & Audit Employees & Officers Organisations letter Reference: JAC/FM/2009/11 dated 14^th Dec. 2009 to Shri Nomo Narain, Minister of State Ministry of Finance,

 

Sir,

                                                   

           Respectfully we invite your kind attention to the award given by the Board of Arbitration on 24/08/2004 in regard to Pay Scale of Senior Auditors/Senior Accountants & Accounts Assistants of Railways:-

 

           "The Government is directed to upgrade Pay Scale same as to the Assistants of Central Secretariat services of Rs: 1640-2900 (Rupees 5500-9000 with effect from 01/01/96) to all Senior Auditors/Senior Accountants & Accounts Assistants of Railways with effect from 01/01/86 notionally and actual payment from 12/11/01 the date of reference of arbitration to the Board" 

 

          As per the instructions given by the Committee of Secretaries, the above award should have been implemented or referred to the Parliament for modification/rejection within a period of six months ending on 24/02/05. However, it has not so far been implemented.

 

           The matter was discussed in the Committee of National Council J. C. M. The official side contented that more than 1200 Crores would have to be paid by way of arrears if the award was implemented actually from 12/11/01 which the Government cannot afford. The staffside then suggested that actual payment may be from 19.02.03, the date from which Government have already ordered to upgrade the pay scale i. e. notionally w.e.f 01/01/96 actually from the above date. The officials stated that even then the amount of arrear to be paid would be Rs. 675 crores which is not feasible.

                   

          The staff representatives have been therefore, given in writing to forego all arrears and requested that the award may be implemented for the entire period from 01/01/1986 to 31/12/2005 notionally & actually from 01/01/06. Since accepting the recommendations of VICPC, Government have already upgraded the pay scale of these employees to pre-revised pay scale of Rs 6500-10500 Pay Band PB-2 with grade Pay of Rs 4200, there would be no extra liability for the Government.

 

           The matter is however kept pending for last 3years in the Department of Expenditure.

 

          We, therefore request you to intervene and persuade the Department and Expenditure to implement the award notionally for the entire period of 01/01/86 to 31/12/05 as it has been implemented with effect from 01/01/06.

 

          The entire fraternity of employees of IA & AD and Organized Accounts Establishments will be grateful to you for this intervention and settlement of long pending demand.

 

                                                           With profound regards

Yours Sincerely
