Part III of Memorandum: This Association endorses the memorandum submitted by the Joint Action Committee of Accounts & Audit Employees and Officers Organisations. The same may be treated as Part III of our memorandum.

            We may submit a Supplementary Memorandum if it is found necessary

            I am also directed to request you, to grant an audience to the representatives of the Association to enable to make an oral deposition to the Commission in support of our memorandum and to respond to the points to be placed before the Commission by the Government Side.

            This Association requests the Commission to review and recommend Interim Relief as suggested in the memorandum submitted on behalf of all Organisations of Central Government Employees by the Steering Committee of JCM Constituents, which also we endorse.

The Commission may kindly consider submission made in Part III of our memorandum submitted by the Joint Action Committee of Accounts & Audit Employees and Officers Organisations and give an interlocutory and final report asking Government to concede our demand for:

i)                    Grant of pre-revised Grade Pay of 5400 in Pay Band 3 to Assistant Accounts Officers on

completion of 4 years of service with effect from 1.1.2006,

So that the Commission could examine and recommend a revised Pay Scale for Assistant Accounts Officers with reference to the above Grade Pay of 5400 in PB3 made applicable to the Section Officers of the Central Secretariat (after the implementation of CCS (RP) Rules).

This Association therefore requests the Commission to undertake a job evaluation of functions entrusted to officers in all cadres above the level of SeniorAccountants/Senior Auditors in orders to equate them with their counter parts in Secretariat Cadres above the Assistants level so that Parity in Pay Scales is restored to them in an objective Scientific and honest manner.

            The Commission is also requested to  give due credence to the demand for formation of “Department Of Accounts” under the Controller General of Accounts on the functional justifications as was recommended by the 5^th Central Pay Commission.

I hope that our above request and submission made in our memorandum would receive due consideration of the Commission and the recommendations made would be such as would engender a feeling of ‘felt fair’ amongst the eight thousand Civil Accounts Employees Working in departmentalized Accounting setup.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

(Gopalakrishnan Nair)

SUBJECT: - SUBMISSION OF MEMORANDUM TO THE 7^th CENTRAL PAY  COMMISSION

Sir/Madam,

We the undersigned on behalf of one lakh seventy five thousand Audit and Accounts Employees belonging to Indian Audit and Accounts Department, Civil Accounts Offices (Central), Defence Accounts, Postal Accounts and Railway Accounts submit herewith memorandum for consideration of the7^Th Central Pay Commission.

We endorse the memorandum submitted by the Steering Committee of J.C.M. (National Council), constituents. The same may be treated as Part I of our memorandum.

We also endorse the memorandum submitted by Confederation of Central Govt Employees & Workers. The same may be treated as Part II of our memorandum.

We request the Commission to give us the opportunity to give our oral deposition to the Commission in support of our memorandum and to respond to the points to be placed before the Commission by the Government side.

We request the commission to review and recommend Interim Relief as suggested in memorandum submitted on behalf of all organisations of Central Government employees by the Steering Committee of JCM constituents, which also we endorse.

In Part III of memorandum submitted by us on behalf of all organisations of Accounts and Audit Employees, we have made the following two important suggestions which have to be focused. These suggestions are –

1. We have requested the Commission to recommend appropriate revised pay scale commensurate with the duties and responsibilities of the posts of Auditors/Accountants of IA&AD and other Organised Accounts Organisations of the Union Government namely Indian Defence Accounts Services, Indian Railway Accounts Services, Indian Civil Accounts Services and Indian Postal Accounts Services. This may kindly be done with reference to the job ratings undertaken by the Administrative Staff College, Hyderabad, at the behest of Third Central Pay Commission, in 1972.

2. We have requested the commission that before the Commission considers revising the existing wage structure of IA&AD and other Organised Accounts, it should correct the existing wage structure, as what was recommended by the VI CPC has not been sanctioned by the Government.

We do hope that our above request & submission made in our memorandum would receive due consideration of the Commission and the recommendations made would be such as would engender a feeling of ‘felt fair’ amongst the 1.5 lakhs of Accounts and Audit Employees.

NATIONAL CONVENTION ON MEMORANDUM TO VII CPC

19^th July 2014 at Azad Bhawan, ITO, New Delhi

DECLARATION

The representatives of  All India Audit & Accounts Association, All India Civil Accounts Employees Association, All India Postal Accounts Employees Association, All India Defence Accounts Employees Association, Kolkata, All India Accounts & Audit Officers Association, All India Association of Pay & Accounts Officers (Civil), All India Civil Accounts Employees Association, Category-II, All India Federation of Divisional Accounts Officers and Divisional Accountants Associations met in the  National Convention on 19^th July 2014 at Azad Bhawan at New Delhi.

The Convention endorses the Memorandum submitted by the Staff Side, National Council, JCM as also the memorandum submitted by the Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers, New Delhi with regard to common cadres such as MTS etc.

The Convention considering the status, duties and functions of IA&AD and organised Accounts Organisations such as Civil Accounts, Postal Accounts, Defence Accounts and Railway Accounts under Government of India unanimously resolve to raise the demand for a pay structure befitting its stature and duties to various Audit and Accounts Cadres with the VII CPC.  

The Convention, therefore, decide to submit our proposals for pay structure for Audit & Accounts Cadres and hope that the VII CPC will consider our submissions on total parity with CSS cadres on merit, duties and responsibilities and the accepted principles and the recommendations of the 4^th and 6^th CPC.

The Convention further decides that for the following grounds different cadres in IA&AD and Organised Accounts be given a better treatment by 7^th CPC.

The Accounting and Auditing Departments are not administrative offices and in these departments, all items of work are of technical nature. Like administrative offices there is no method of receiving Dak/letters and dispatch of those in the Accounts Organization or in any other departments of Accounts and Audit.  The LDCs in the Accounts and Audit Departments are discharging technical responsibilities and performing the duties of Accounts Assistants. Therefore, the cadre LDC in the Audit and Accounting formations should be upgraded as Accounts/Audit Assistants.

The Auditor/Accountant – more than 67 % Graduates - have to pass a departmental Confirmatory examination on completion of 1 year failing which he/she is liable to be demoted and appointed as fresh LDC. They are promoted as SA on completion of 3 years as Auditor/Accountant and after passing a Departmental Confirmatory examination. This definitely put the SA above the Assistant in CSS. Hence the convention proposes for same pay for SA Gr I and Assistants of CSS and higher pay for SA Gr II.

The Assistant Audit/Accounts Officer in IA&AD & Organised Accounts has an element of direct recruitment where as the Section Officer of CSS is a promotee from Assistant – 50% through seniority and 50% through LDCE. The Auditor/Accountant or SA has to negotiate one of the toughest departmental examinations (SAS Examination) to become AAO. The AAO in IA &A D & Organised Accounts is thus above the SO of the CSS while it is treated as inferior. Minimum what is expected is grant of same pay with SO of CCS at maximum while a higher pay at entry level.

This Convention therefore decides to demand the following pay restructure for Audit & Accounts cadres with the VII CPC.

1	LDC(Redesignated  as Audit/Accounts Assistant)	GP 1900, PB1	GP 2400  PB1	41000
2	Auditor/Accountant -20%	GP 2800, PB 1	GP  4200 PB2	56000
3	Sr.Auditor/Accountant - 80% & Stenographer Gr. I/Steno Gr. II (P. S.)	GP 4200, PB 2	GP 4600 PB2	66000
4	Sr. Auditor/Sr Accountant- on completion of 4 years	---	GP 4800 PB 2	74000
5	Asstt. Audit/Accounts Officer/ Supervisor/ Sr. Private Secretary & Divisional Accountant (35% existing & reduce to 20% for DA Cadre)	GP 4800, PB 2	GP 5400 PB2	78000
6	AAO Grade II on completion of 4 years /Divisional Accounts Officer Gr II (25%)	-	GP 5400, PB3	88000
7	Audit/Accounts Officer (20%)/ DAO Gr I (25%)	GP 5400, PB2	GP 6600P B3	102000
8	Sr. Audit/Accounts Officer (80%)/ DAO (15% existing & enhance to 30% for DA Cadre)	GP 5400,   PB 3	GP  7600  PB 3	120000

The Convention further resolves to reorganise and reactivate the local committees of the Joint Action Committee at every station through the joint visits of the leaders of the Apex JAC and sustained agitational programmes. The Convention call upon every field formations of the constituent organisations to ensure total participation of its membership in all the agitational programmes call for which shall be given by the Apex JAC in the days to come.
