Sub: Settlement of the 20 Point Charter of Demands concerning with
the employees working under the setup of Pr. CCA, CBEC including the issue
declaring the DEOs as surplus.
Sir,
When a delegation of this Association comprising Shri
V. Bhattacharjee, Secretary General, Shri N.K. Sharma, Finance Secretary and Shri S.C. Bamrara, Asstt.
Secretary General had met the CCA, CBEC on 15th January 2015 in her
chamber in presence of other officers and unit President of AICAEA, CBEC Unit,
Delhi and kindly requested her to settle the long pending concerning with
employees of Principal Accounts office and Pay and Accounts Offices of CBEC
setup, the CCA, CBEC in turn, had directed
the Association to make a fresh request to your good-self for convening meeting
with the National Executives of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association
and All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category-II.
Responding to the directions of CCA, CBEC, a letter vide No. :
AICAEA/HQ/A-3/2015/52-55 dated 21.01.2015 (Copy enclosed as ANNEXURE -A) was submitted,
enclosing the agenda items, with the request of convening a meeting with the
National Executives of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association and All
India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II.
But your office ignored the letter and only when the Branches of
the Associations all over the country had once again resorted to protest action
in the form of a daylong Dharna on 11th February 2015 in protest of
the non- settlement of 20 point demands of the Association including scraping
your unilateral decision to declare the Data Entry Operators as surplus, your
office served a letter in the
evening hours of the day vide
letter No. APAR Cell/1(10)3/Association/2014-15/441 dated 11-02-2015 (Copy
enclosed as ANNEXURE -B) conveying the Associations that a meeting shall be
convened by the Official side on 12-02-2015 at 3.pm.
As it was not humanly feasible
on the part of the National Executive members of the Associations to reach
Delhi on 12th February 2015 within twenty four hours from different corners of
the Country, the available office bearers of the Associations immediately
called on the Sr. AO, (Estt.) of your office who was the signatory of the
letter. He was explained about the aforesaid technical difficulties of the
Association and it was proposed that, since the National Executive members of
the Associations shall reach Delhi on 25th of February 2015 to
attend the National Executive meeting of the Associations slated to be held on
25th and 26th February 2015, the meeting might be fixed on 25th
February. Responding to our proposal positively, concerned Sr. AO went and
discussed the matter with the competent authority and on his return informed
the said representatives that it was
agreed and the Association may therefore send a letter in confirmation of its
verbal proposal.
Based on the above fact, we
immediately made the request for fixing the meeting on 25th February
2015 vide our letter No.AICAEA/HQ/A-3/2015/95 dated11.02.2015 (Copy enclosed as
ANNEXURE-C).
But to the utter surprise
of all, your office vide letter No. Admn. /1(10)3/Association/1514 dated 23rd February 2015 (Copy
enclosed as ANNEXURE -D) informed Association that the meeting has been fixed
on 10th April 2015. The letter was issued by your office in such a
time when majority of our out station National Executive members had boarded
the Train and many of them had already covered a long distance towards Delhi. But
being very responsible in its approach, the Association also requested you very
humbly, through its letter No. AICAEA/HQ/A-3/2015/100 dated 24.02.2015(Copy
enclosed as ANNEXURE -E) to kindly fix the meeting on a convenient date
before 15th March 2015 for discussion and early settlement of the long pending
issues of the employees. But no response
was there from the end of the authorities. Inspite of this, the Association
made its sincere attempt of discussion
with the Sr. AO (Admin.) on 25th
of February also, inquiring about the modification in the date as requested by
us. But he tried to evade any discussion.
When it was observed that
your Administration was neither serious in its approach nor inclined to discuss
with the National Executive Members of the Associations for the settlement of
the Demands, obviously, such a callous attitude on the part of your
administration had precipitated the resentment of the employees throughout the
country and the Federal Executive Members of the National Federation of Civil
Accounts Associations and office bearers of the Branches of Delhi were constrained to take the decision to sit
for Dharna in front of your office on 25th February 2015 in protest
of your decision to postpone the date of the meeting from 25th
February to 10th April 2015 and on the demand of settlement of long pending 20
point Charter of Demands and also in
protest of the issue of declaring the
DEOs as surplus.
However, 26th
March, 2015 your administration telephonically informed the undersigned that
our request for preponing the date of meeting was not accepted by the authority
and it has been again decided unilaterally to convene the meeting on 10th
April 2015. Subsequently a letter dated 25th March 2015 has been
emailed to the Association on the same day at 5.59 pm confirming your decision
to convene the meeting on that date itself.
After considering the above
discussed developments, the Association has directed me to inform you
that the Association is not
averse to mutual dialogue. But such dialogue should be on a mutually agreed
convenient date so that the official side is able to concentrate on the issues
and National Executive Members of the Associations, from various stations, are
able to attend the meeting.
We assumed that you would
kindly consider our request for preponing of date and fix the meeting within 31st
March 2015. But in the absence of any communication from your end till 26th
March 2015, organizational travel plans were framed out for the National
Executive members in connection with the call of the Joint Council of Action of
The Central Government Employees towards “March To Parliament On 28th
April 2015” for settlement of 7th CPC related demands and the
demands like Merger of DA etc which embrace all sections of the Central Govt.
Employees and Officers. So, due to pre-occupied organizational work, it is not
possible for them to make themselves available at New Delhi on 10th
April 2015. Therefore, under the above circumstance we request you to convene
the meeting on another mutually agreed date in the month of April 2015 itself.
I am also directed to state
that, it is also essential to create conducive atmosphere for mutual dialogue
and hence you may kindly direct your administration to-
1. Withdraw all orders issued threatening the
employees that their participation in peaceful meetings of the Association even
during lunch hour shall make them liable for disciplinary actions.
2.
Comply with the
directive of the Controller General of Accounts and also as per Government of
India norm, issue the open pass to the Secretary General of the Association who
is a member of the Departmental Council (JCM).
I am further directed to request you
that, as per JCM norm travelling allowance may be granted to the National
Executive Members who shall attend the meeting from the stations other than
Delhi.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Enclo: as above

Subject:
- Settlement of the problems referred by the PAO, Ministry of Health &
Family Welfare, Kolkata Unit.
Reference:
- This Association’s letter No. AICAEA/HQ/C-1/2014/2252-54 dated 26-02-2014.
Madam,
With reference to the above and in
pursuance of the discussion held with the Controller of Accounts, Ministry of
Health and Family Welfare on 10th February 2015, I would like
to draw your kind attention to the
following few lines –
1.
Payment
of Minimum wages to DEOs engaged in PAO, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare,
Kolkata:-
Through the letter dated 1st
September 2014, the Unit Association of PAO, Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare, Kolkata had brought it to your kind notice that the outsourced
employees engaged in the PAO, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Kolkata
as Data Entry Operators have not only been receiving less pay then the rate
prescribed by the Ministry of Labour but also lesser than their counterparts
working in the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare itself. Alongwith its
letter, the Unit Association had also forwarded a detailed note analyzing the
entire fact for your perusal and favorable action.
As 10
posts of Accountant/Senior Accountant, 4 posts of LDCs and 4 posts of MTS were vacant in PAO, Ministry Of Health and
Family Welfare, Kolkata , it was decided by the
CCA, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to recruit 5(Five) Data Entry
Operators through third party (Contractor) to meet the shortfall. These DEOs were granted Rs. 339/- per day in spite of the fact that being
Graduates and Computer trained, they fall under the category of “Highly
Skilled” and they had been engaged against regular works being performed by the
Accountant, Senior Accountant and LDC.
Data Entry Operators engaged in the Central
Drug Laboratory, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Kolkata have been receiving
daily wages @ Rs. 405/- and the Pay Accounts Office, Ministry of Health and
Family Welfare, Kolkata is making payment of the Bills preferred by DDO
concerned. The Copies of the Bills are enclosed herewith for your ready
reference. Therefore, the DEOs working PAO, Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare, Kolkata are being paid less than their counterparts.
Moreover, the explanations below Part II of
the Schedule of Government of India extra ordinary Gazette Notification No. 800
dated May 20th, 2009(copy enclosed) stipulated that-
(a)
If there are two rates for the Highly Skilled
category, the higher rate is to be protected (Explanation No. 2 below Part II
of the Schedule). This fact has further been clarified vide Note of the order
No. B-27(1)/2013 dated 1-4-2013 issued by the Dy. Chief Labour Commissioner
(Central), Mumbai (copy enclosed).
(b)
The minimum wage of DEO is to be
determined after allowing Variable Dearness Allowances (explanation No. 7, below
Part II of the Schedule).
(c)
The minimum rates of wage include also
the wage for weekly day of rest (explanation No.3 below Part II of the
Schedule) which implies that pay is to be given for 26days and not 22days.
Further, the Ministry of Labour, Government of India vide OM No.
14(113)Misc. RLC (coord)/ 2012 dated 23rd January 2014 provided the
detailed guidelines regarding engagement of workers through Contractors by the
Ministries and Departments of Central Government (Copy enclosed).
In view of the above we request the following-
1.
Wage to DEOs may be given for 26days instead
of 22 days.
2.
Discrimination in wages of DEO may be
removed by granting the wage equal to the wage being paid to the DEOs of
Central Drugs Laboratory, O/o the DDC (I) of ADC (I).
3.
Variable Dearness Allowance may be
given to DEOs twice in a year.
4.
Higher rate of wage may be protected in
r/o DEOs to determine the minimum wage.
5.
The Ministry of Labour order No.
14(113)Misc.RLC(coord)/2012 dated 23rd January 2014 may be
implemented in the matter of engagement of DEOs.
2.
Filling
up of vacant posts:-
In
the year 2011, the office of the Controller General of Accounts issued orders
directing the heads of the Civil Accounts organization to upload the data
relating to vacancy to website of Staff Selection Commission within stipulated
time. The arrangement was in operation in the years 2012, 2013 and 2014 also. Various Ministries and Departments of Civil
Accounts organizations which had taken action promptly could fill up large
number of vacancies as they were allotted candidates by the Staff selection
Commission from among the qualified candidates of examinations of 2012 and 2013.
But
the office of the CCA, Ministry of Health and family Welfare did not send its
requirement to the Staff Selection Commission at that time and due to this the
posts have been left vacant in this organization.
Therefore,
we request you to kindly initiate steps for filling up of vacant posts
immediately as the office is suffering from huge shortage of staff.
The PAO, Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare, Kolkata Unit alongwith the West Bengal Branches of All India Civil
Accounts Employees Association and All India Civil Accounts Employees
Association Category II have been agitating for settlement of above demands. However,
responding to an assurance of the authority, the Unit Association and the
aforementioned Branch Associations had suspended their agitational programmes after
holding three days continuous Dharna in January 2015. But it is nearly two
months they have not yet received any favourable response from the authorities.
It will therefore, be highly
appreciable, if you kindly intervene into the state of affairs and settle above
issues at the earliest.
Thanking
you,
Yours Sincerely,

stated above
