Subject: - Official meeting with the National Executives of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association – request regarding.

Sir,

                I would like to bring it to your kind information that, since various issues concerning with the employees of your Department in different parts of the country are lying pending with your office for years together, we had approached your administration several times and requested to settle those issues. But, your administration did neither respond to any of the issues positively nor took any favourable action on them. As such the employees are suffering extremely and they have now become highly restive.

          In view of this situation, undersigned had met the CCA, CBDT for three times and requested him to settle some of the issues. He had kindly discussed the issues in details and assured that, he would ensure settlement of the issues at the earliest.
But, it could be observed by us that, inspite of his best effort to resolve the problems of employees; the administration of your office was not inclined to resolve any of the issues on one plea or the other.

          Under such circumstances, I have been directed by the Association to request you to kindly intervene personally and convene a meeting with the National Executives of this Association at your earliest convenience so that the items are discussed at your level and your administration obeys your direction at least.

          The pending items we would like to discuss in the meeting are enclosed herewith.

          Since our National Executive members are spread over different parts of the country and we propose that the representatives of the affected units may also be allowed to attend the meeting, we request you to kindly direct your administration to intimate us the date of the meeting atleast a fortnight ahead so that our outstation representatives could be able to procure their confirmed travel tickets and travel comfortably.

          Further, the status of the meeting shall be of the level of 3rd tier of JCM Scheme. Therefore, all authorities concerned may kindly be requested to reimburse the TA/DA of the officials/representatives of the Association as per their entitled class.

Thanking you,
Yours Sincerely,
Enclo:- as stated above

MTS post has not been sanctioned to ZAO, CBDT, Cochin so far. One Casual worker is attending all these works. One post of MTS may therefore be sanctioned/allotted to ZAO, CBDT Cochin and also other offices confronting similar condition.

Many offices have not been granted annual honorarium for more than two years. Hence all employees may be granted annual honorarium without any discrimination.

Since all the documents sought by the Principal Accounts Office have already been provided by the ZAO, CBDT, Shillong, the regularization case of Shri Malakar may kindly be settled without any further delay. Since, there is no MTS in the office, he may be regularized against the post. Similar situation is there in ZAO, Bhubaneswar and it may therefore be also settled. Smt.

b.            Routine works such as pay fixation, anomaly, Post-check, verification of qualifying service etc. may be excluded from the Internal Audit wing. Because, to complete these works department have to sent service books to Accounts Office.
