CONGRATULATIONS

CONGRATULATIONS: PAO, CBEC, MADURAI UNIT

 

                  The PAO, Central Excise Unit, Madurai has been persistently fighting against the anti-employee, harassing and dishonest local administration. The unit has reported that the local administration is harassing the employees by not reimbursing their legitimate personal claims and using abusive languages with the employees and particularly with the women employees while they are visiting his chamber on official matters. In order to divide the employees he is openly practicing favoritism and misreporting the facts in respect of his office to the higher authorities. Not only this, his approach towards the Departmental persons has been causing severe damage to the image of the Civil Accounts organization.

 

                  . The PAO, Central Excise Unit, Madurai has been holding various forms of agitational actions for the last few months. It furnished detailed reports to the higher authorities and Federation headquarters before resorting organizational action.

 

             The office was awarded as one of the best offices by CGA and award was offered for the same on Civil Accounts day 2011. When the entirety of the membership of the unit refused to accept honorarium granted to them as an award for making the office as one of the best office, higher authorities intervened and requested to the Unit Secretary to accept the same. The members accepted it conditionally. It has now been decided by the higher authorities to depute one of the senior officers for having assessment of the situation. Federation headquarters is pursuing the matter with the authorities of different level and maintaining continuous touch with the unit and the Branch.

           

                      Federation headquarters of NFCAA congratulates the PAO, Central Excise, Madurai unit. However, fight is not over. The unit and  the Tamilnadu and Pondicherry Branch in specific should continue the struggle till final solutions are there. However, all Branches are requested to be ready to extend support to the unit if the authorities do not settle the problems of the Unit upto the expected level.

CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVT. EMPLOYEES & WORKERS LETTER TO C.G.A.

D/16/2010

Dated: 22^nd March, 2011

 

To                                                                                                 

Controller General of Accounts,

Ministry of Finance,

Department of Expenditure,

Loknayak Bhawan,

Khan Market,

New Delhi-110003

 

Dear Sir,

 

            It has been brought to our notice by the Delhi State Committee of the Confederation that the authorities of Pr. Chief Controller of Accounts, Central Board of Excise and Customs, AGCR Building, I.P. Estate, New Delhi has chosen to initiate disciplinary proceedings, against Shri Vrigu Bhattacharjee, General Secretary of the Delhi State Committee of this organization on an allegation that he had organized a meeting outside the AGCR Building without taking prior permission from the concerned authorities.   Shri Vrigu Bhattacharjee, as you are aware, is also the Secretary General, All India Civil Accounts Employees Association, recognized by the Government of India on your recommendation. 

 

            In order to mobilize the Central Government employees for the "workers march to Parliament" (to be held on 23^rd Feb. 2011) to project certain worker/employees related matters before the Government, the State Committee of the Confederation had decided to organize meetings during lunch recess in front of various offices of the Govt. of India located in Delhi.  One such meeting was to be held at AGCR building on 1^st February 2011. Normally it is the practice that permission for such meetings used to be obtained by the concerned Association of employees located in the identified building. The State Committee and its General Secretary was accordingly informed that permission for holding such meeting has been requested for by the Civil Audit Association, O/o DACR, Delhi during lunch recess on 01-02-2011.As per the information that has been obtained by us, the permission was not denied by the concerned authorities till the meeting commenced.  No doubt the meeting was interfered with a direction by the  Senior Accounts Officer, purported to be on behalf of the Director General            Audit (Central Expenditure) to the effect that the meeting must be disbanded. The concerned officer was repeatedly requested by the organizers that the meeting may be allowed to be continued as it would be wound up before the recommencement of the office after the lunch recess and the same would be peaceful and the members from various offices have already assembled. Had the permission been denied at least a day in advance, the organizers of the meeting would have taken necessary action in this respect. 

 

            The allegation against Shri V. Bhattacharjee, General Secretary of our State Committee prima facie is untenable both on merits and legally, as the instruction cited in the charge sheet issued by the Works and Housing Ministry seems to be not in consonance with the stipulation made in the Conduct rules and is also without proper jurisdiction. This apart we have also been informed by the organizers and participants of the meeting that there had been no obstruction for the smooth functioning of the office or for the entry and exit of any body to and from the building.

 

            Being the Secretary General of a recognized Association, Shri V. Bhatacharjee has functioned within the ambit of the rules and regulations and has not violated any of the provisions of the Conduct rules.  Initiation of disciplinary proceedings against the functionaries of the recognized Associations on untenable allegations will throttle the very functioning of the Association, recognized by the Government for the purpose of projecting the grievances and demands of the employees for its redresssal by the authorities. In fact such action will only bring about ill feeling between the mass of the employees and the authorities.

 

            We, therefore, appeal to you to kindly intervene in the matter and ensure that the proceedings are dropped.  We shall also be grateful if you can afford us an opportunity to meet you and present the facts before you so as to remove the misgivings and misunderstandings in the matter.

 

Thanking you,

 

Yours faithfully,

 

K.K.N. Kutty

Secretary General

Resolutions adopted in Federal Executive meeting held on 3rd and4th April 2011

RESOLUTION

 

 

This federal executive meeting of the National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations represented by All India Civil Accounts Employees Association and All India Civil Accounts Employees Association category II held on 3^rd and 4th April 2011 at Delhi express its strongest resentment against the indifferent attitude of Civil Accounts authorities towards the demands of the Civil Accounts Employees.

 

            While accepting the memorandum (on 16 point charter demands) from the delegation of National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations on 8^th December 2010, the Controller General of Accounts had assured that, he would soon convene meetings with the representatives of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association and All India Civil Accounts Employees Association category II for settlement of the demands across the table mutually.

 

            But inspite of repeated requests by both the Associations for the last three months, Controller General has not convened any meeting.  However, responding to the letters dated 7^th January 2011 of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association and All India Civil Accounts Employees Association category II, the Office of the Controller General of Accounts had conveyed to the All India Civil Accounts Employees Association through a letter dated 1^st February 2011 that the date of meeting being communicated to the Association in due course. But even after lapse of two more months, office of the Controller General of Accounts has not fixed any date for meetings which is untenable.

 

            The meeting resolves that, if this resolution is ignored and no communication containing the date(s) for meeting(s) is received by the All India Civil Accounts Employees Association and the All India Civil Accounts Employees Association category II at the earliest, the National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations shall be compelled to organize intensified organizational action throughout the country.

 

            Resolved that the copies of the Resolution shall be forwarded to the Controller General of Accounts.

RESOLUTION

 

            This federal executive meeting of the National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations represented by All India Civil Accounts Employees Association and All India Civil Accounts Employees Association category II held on 3^rd and 4th April 2011 at Delhi strongly condemns the disciplinary proceeding initiated by the authorities of Pr. CCA, CBEC against the Secretary General for participating in Trade Union meeting as a part of normal organizational activity.

 the authorities of Pr. Chief Controller of Accounts, Central Board of Excise and Customs, AGCR Building, I.P. Estate, New Delhi has chosen to initiate disciplinary proceedings, against Shri Vrigu Bhattacharjee, Secretary General, All India Civil Accounts Employees Association, Secretary General, National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations and  General Secretary of the Delhi State Committee of Confederation Of Central Government Employees and Workers on an allegation that he had organized a meeting outside the AGCR Building on 1^st February 2011 without taking prior permission from the concerned authorities.   

                   In order to mobilize the Central Government employees for the "workers march to Parliament" (to be held on 23^rd Feb. 2011) to project certain worker/employees related matters before the Government, the State Committee of the Confederation had decided to organize meetings during lunch recess in front of various offices of the Govt. of India located in Delhi.  One such meeting was to be held at AGCR building on 1^st February 2011.  As it is the practice that permission for such meetings is obtained by the concerned Association of employees located in the identified building, the State Committee and its General Secretary was accordingly informed that permission for holding such meeting had been requested for by the Civil Audit Association, O/o DGACR, Delhi during lunch recess on 01-02-2011 and the permission was not denied by the concerned authorities.  No doubt the meeting was interfered with a direction by the Senior Accounts Officer, purported to be on behalf of the Director General Audit (Central Expenditure) to the effect that the meeting must be disbanded. The concerned officer was repeatedly told by the organizers that the meeting would be over within lunch hour. The DGACR Authorities, instead of showing amenableness in their attitude, provoked the organizers' of the meeting by calling police. But the Police left the spot after finding that the meeting was taking place peacefully and there was no violation of rules and regulations.

            After everything was over, allegations were leveled by the DGACR authorities against Shri V. Bhattacharjee, Secretary General which are prima facie untenable both on merits and legally.    Being the Secretary General of a recognized Association, Shri V. Bhatacharjee has functioned within the ambit of the rules and regulations and has not violated any of the provisions of the Conduct rules.  Initiation of disciplinary proceedings against the functionaries of the recognized Associations on untenable allegations will throttle the very functioning of the Association, recognized by the Government for the purpose of projecting the grievances and demands of the employees for its redresssal by the authorities. In fact such action will only bring about ill feeling between the mass of the employees and the authorities.

This meeting considers the above action of authorities of Pr. CCA, CBEC, New Delhi is nothing but attitude of curbing the routine nature activity of the Association and gross misuse of powers.

The meeting therefore, appeals upon Controller General of Accounts to kindly intervene in the matter and direct the authorities of Pr. CCA, CBEC, to drop the proceeding immediately.  

The Resolves that the Resolution adopted shall be submitted to the Controller General of Accounts.
