RESOLUTION

Adopted in All India Conference of AICAEA
 held in Mumbai from 1st to 3rd June 2011

The 12^th All India Conference of the All India Civil Accounts Employees Association held at Mumbai from 01.06.2011 to 03.06.2011 unanimously resolved to resent the decision of the Civil Accounts authorities to conduct the re-examination for those candidates who cleared all but one paper in the AAO (Civil) Examinations held in October 2010. It is resolved to convey the feelings of the Association that restrictive conduct of the examination would deny the opportunity of qualifying the examination to the other candidates who has to clear more than one paper. It is, therefore resolved to demand that the exam be kept open for all those candidates who failed to qualify more than one paper in the 2010 examinations.

            It is further resolved to draw the attention of the Civil Accounts Authorities to the promise made by the CGA in 11^th All India Conference at Delhi in 2009 that at least 10% of the posts of AAOs would be filled on the seniority basis. It is the observation that this promise is yet to be fulfilled.

            The Conference, therefore resolves further to fill up the vacancies available under the 10% quota and undo the injustice done to the senior most employees of the Civil Accounts Organization.

            It is further resolved and urge upon the authorities to raise the quota for promotion from 10% to 20% to fill up the large number of anticipated vacancies in the cadre of AAOs so that the morale of the employees is boosted and the functioning of the organization in improved.
