Secretary General, AICAEA had handed over the resolution to the Secretariat of CGA.

The Dharna programme was held despite interruption of the Civil Administration of Delhi. However, they had finally appreciated our plight when they noted the genuineness of our grievance and allowed us to hold the Dharna. The media persons also helped us. They visited the spot, collected the charter of demands also took interview of the Secretary General. Security agencies of State and Central Government also came to the Dharna spot, interviewed Secretary General and others.

When the delegation returned after handing over the Resolution to the available representative of the Secretariat of CGA, the Dharna programme was declared over by the President at 3.30 p.m. and it had ended with shouting of slogans. Slogans were shouted condemning the attitude of the CGA and demanding immediate settlement of the demands.

The Dharna was therefore a grand success and we congratulate all members, Federal Executive members and leaders of fraternal organizations who have directly and indirectly helped to make the programme a grand success.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED IN THE LUNCH HOUR MEETING ON 10TH MAY 2012 IN FRONT OF C.G.A. OFFICE, LOKNAYAK BHAWAN KHAN MARKET NEW DELHI

RESOLUTION

This joint meeting of the members 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 today the May 10, 2012 in front of the Office of the Controller General of Accounts, Loknayak Bhawan Khan Market, Delhi expresses its strongest resentment against the indifferent attitude of Civil Accounts authorities towards the genuine problems and demands of the Civil Accounts Employees.

In the meeting held between the CGA and the National Executives of AICAEA on 12^th December 2011, CGA had promised to take up the issues like grant of higher pay scales to MTS, DEO, Accountant, Senior Accountant, AAO, PS as well as creation of posts and MACP discriminations etc. with the Government. CGA had also assured to settle the issues like grant of recognition to AICAEA (CAT- II), Compassionate appointments, grant of four increments on qualifying DCT and filling up the vacant post etc.

But after the lapse of two months CGA released minutes of the meeting, denying all commitments and closed down, unilaterally, 12 out of the 20 items discussed.

Through the letter dated 17^th March 2012 and letters dated 4^th April 2012 AICAEA and the NFCAA repeatedly requested CGA to honour the assurances he had given to the Civil Accounts Employees of the Country and issue the actual minutes of the meeting in consultation with the National Executive of AICAEA as per JCM norm .

Several requests have been made to CGA to grant recognition to AICAEA CAT II which is having membership strength of more than 35% of the Assistant Accounts Officers and they are subscribing to the Association. It was clarified to CGA that, since the DDOs are not following the norms of check-off system and not providing the informations based on the facts, an artificial shortage of membership is being reflected in the reports.

Further, the e-payment system is going to create havoc in the Civil Accounts Organisation. The NFCAA had therefore requested CGA to listen the views of the employees' representatives on this issue before implementing it unilaterally.

But CGA and his officers have deliberately preferred to ignore the requests of the Associations.

There are several official complaints against the behavior and corrupt activities of the local head of office of PAO, Central Excise Madurai and this matter was brought to the Knowledge of CGA by the Central Excise Department and all Employees Associations concerned. But the Civil Accounts authorities have been shielding such an officer.

In addition to the above, it may also be recorded here that, CGA office has not been extending any co-operation in discussing and resolving the issues concerning the employees. Inspite of repeated requests none of the officers of CGA office has been providing a minutes time even to discuss routine nature staff problems where involvement of CGA is not at all required.

This meeting therefore, condemns the anti-employee and adamant attitude of the Civil Accounts authority and demands immediate settlement of the grievances of the Civil Accounts employees.

Resolved that the copies of the Resolution shall be forwarded to the Hon'ble Finance Minister of India, the Secretary, Ministry of Finance, Government of India, the Controller General of Accounts and all others concerned.

CGA had also assured to settle the issues like grant of recognition to AICAEA (CAT- II), Compassionate appointments, grant of four increments on qualifying DCT and filling up the vacant post etc.
