Sir,
I
have been directed to draw your kind attention to the fact that, several issues
concerning with the employees working in different ZAOs are pending for a
pretty long time.
In
view of this, I on behalf of this Association request you to kindly convene a
meeting with the representatives of this Association at your earliest
convenience. The items we would like to discuss are enclosed herewith for your
kind information and necessary action.
This
Association shall be thankful to you for your early favorable response
Thanking you,
Yours Sincerely,
Enclo:- as above
(V. Bhattacharjee)
Secretary General
ITEMS OF AGENDA
1.
Filling up of vacant
posts in all Zonal Accounts Offices:-
In
the Zonal Accounts Office, CBDT, Cochin post of one LDC and 5 Accountants are
vacant since long time. Similar situation prevails in all offices like
Bhubaneswar, Patna, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai etc. The vacancies may therefore,
be filled up immediately. When the issue was discussed on 26.12.2016, it was
informed that vacant posts 34 LDC and 28 MTS are being filled up.
2.
Provision of LDC and MTS
for each section of Pr. Accounts office and each ZAO:-
All
offices are in need of these posts. While the new posts for new ZAOs had been
created, these posts were not created. Three Sr. Accounts Officers are working
in the ZAO, CBDT, Cochin. 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. The issue was discussed on 26.12.2016. It was
assured that necessary action in this regard shall be initiated.
3.
Rest room for ladies
staff in the ZAOs where 30% employees are women.
When discussed on 26.12.2016 it
was assured that Circular/Instruction shall be issued to ZAOs.
4.
Regularization of
temporary status employees – Case of Shillong, Cochin and Bhubaneswar
regarding:-
Shri Atul Malakar, working in
ZAO, CBDT, Shillong as temporary status employee is yet to be regularized.
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. Sarada
aged 48 years is working ZAO, CBDT, Cochin for the last 6 years. She may be
regularized.
5.
Strengthening of Internal Audit wing:-
a.
The internal Audit wing
may consist of one AO, one AAO and two Sr. Accountant/Accountant. Otherwise it
is very difficult to complete the work in time bound manner. In Cochin the
Audit work is entrusted with one Sr. AO, one AAO and one Accountant. One more
Accountant may be posted in Audit wing.
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 send service books to Accounts Office. Most of the time the
Audit party in tour as per approved tour programme and the service books of the
department staffs have to be kept pending in the Accounts Office and it causes
some grievance from the department.
6.
Settlement of all pending Compassionate appointment
cases:-
In the
discussion on 26.12.2016, it was assured that DPC shall be conducted soon in
respect of the cases mentioned below-
a.

part of CBDT collection work such as daily reporting of CBDT collection and
checking of delay in remittance to Govt. Account etc. More over the ZAO staff

and security. This may please be ordered to stop.

13.
Proper office
accommodation for ZAO, CBDT, Ahmedabad:-
Office building of Zonal
Accounts Office, CBDT, Ahmedabad is working at 2nd Floor of
Vasupujya Chambers, Ashram Road, Ahmedabad. During the earthquake of 2001 this
building was severely damaged and owner of the building has not paid any
attention toward repair and maintenance of the building. Moreover heavy rains
in past years after 2001 have damaged the base of this building. Now building
is not in good and usable condition. Income Tax Department has also vacated its
office from this building due to the same reason. Building may collapse at any
moment.
In revenue section there are 28 banks preparing and sending
scrolls from 020 to 030 heads. Weigh of the scrolls each date is very heavy and
