Dear Comrades,

Non-Settlement of Demands:  Observe Protest Day by holding

Branch Wise Lunch Hour Demonstration on 12^th April 2016:

          For quite some time past the Federation headquarters has been pursuing with the authorities for discussion and settlement of the long pending demands.

1.     Since no AAO (Civil) examination was conducted by the CGA authorities after October 2014, the future candidates have become totally disappointed and they are suffering from various apprehensions.

In the discussion held on 11^th December 2015, CGA had informed in person that the continuity of the AAO (Civil) Examination would be maintained and soon a decision shall be taken by the authorities to conduct the examination for the year 2015.  But no decision to conduct AAO (Civil) Examination for the year 2015 has so far been taken by CGA office.

2.    The examination for 2016 has also become due and as per schedule, the examination is to be held in the month of October-November 2016.

The central headquarters of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association vide its letter dated 9^th March, 2016 had requested the CGA authorities to conduct the examinations. But CGA office has not yet taken any decision.

3.    Several posts in the grade of AAO are lying vacant in different parts of the country. Due to this, the works in the organization are suffering very badly and it is more than a year, majority of the existing AAOs are bearing the burden of attending additional work load of other AAOs and most of the Senior Accountants are performing the duties of AAOs due to non-availability of AAOs so that the payment and Accounting functions of the Government of India continue smoothly.

In the discussion held on 11^th December 2015 CGA had informed that the work is in progress and soon a decision shall be taken to grant promotion to all eligible candidates as AAOs. But even after three months no decision has been taken.

On the other hand, the candidates who had qualified the AAO (Civil) examination 2014 have been awaiting their posting orders as AAOs for last one year and no promotion under 10% seniority promotion quota was granted to any Senior Accountant to the post of AAO in the year 2015. Consequentially, all senior most Senior Accountants of the organization are retiring from service without even getting the benefit of adhoc promotion as AAOs inspite of existence of an order of CGA office.

Not only these, many AAOs are awaiting transfer to their choice stations on completion of their tenure and their families are suffering in different manners.

Most astonishingly, while hundreds of the eligible candidates of the Civil Accounts organization itself are awaiting promotions, the Civil Accounts authorities, overlooking this fact have asked the Delhi Government to sponsor candidates for the posts of AAOs on deputation basis.

          The Central headquarters of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association vide its letter 10^th March 2016 respectively had requested the following to the CGA

(a)  The AAO (Civil) Examination being the only available corridor for the career advancement to the Group-C Civil Accounts Employees, CGA may kindly appreciate the plight of the employees and take an early decision to conduct the examinations.

(b)  Issue orders for posting of all candidates qualified AAO (Civil) examination, 2014 before 31^st March 2016.

(c)  Grant promotions to the Senior Accountants as AAOs who are eligible for promotion under 10% promotion quota.

(d)  Issue orders for transfer of the AAOs completed their tenure posting period and awaiting posting to their choice stations.

(e)  Cancel the decision of CGA office to bring persons from other departments/ organizations as AAOs on deputation basis and grant adhoc promotions to the eligible persons of Civil Accounts organization itself in case vacancies exist after issuing orders for promotion to the persons discussed in Sl. No. (b) and (c) above.

But CGA office has not taken any decision

4.    As per the Government directions the apex level Joint Action Committee of Accounts audit and employees organizations has submitted a memorandum to the Cabinet Secretary. In a subsequent meeting of the apex JAC, it was decided that all constituent organizations shall approach their respective heads of the organizations for discussing the 7th pay commission related issues so that a follow-up action on this matter could unitedly be taken by the constituents of apex JAC.

As per the decision of leadership of co-ordination Committee of Civil Accounts Employees and Officers organizations, the Central Headquarters of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association had requested CGA in the 1st week March 2016 to convene a brief meeting with a combined delegation of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association, All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II and All India Association of Pay and Accounts Officers (Civil).

But CGA has not met the team of delegation till date and it would cause serious damage to the future of the officers and employees of Civil Accounts organization.

5.    Several issues discussed in the formal meeting held between the Official side of CGA authorities and the National Executives of the All India Civil Accounts Employees Association on 6^th November 2015 have not yet been settled which are going to adversely affect on the Civil Accounts Employees.      

         

          Dear Comrades, in view of the situations discussed above it has been decided that, Protest Day shall be observed On 12^th April2016 by holding Branch wise Lunch Hour Demonstration. Enclosed resolution may be adopted and forwarded to the authorities.

          This programme is the beginning. If our demands are ignored, higher form of organizational action shall be decided and all of you are requested to keep the members prepared for the same. 

With warm greetings,

(V.Bhattacharjee)

Secretary General
