Memorandum to Controller General of
Accounts – request for settlement of the demands of the officers and employees
regarding.
Respected Sir,
At
the very outset, we on behalf of the All India Civil Accounts Employees
Associations congratulate you on your appointment as the Controller General of
Accounts and offer our sincere thanks for convening this courtesy meeting
today.
Controller
General of Accounts being the highest authority of the Civil Accounts Organization,
officers and employees of the organization look towards the Controller General
of Accounts with great aspirations and high expectation. As representatives of
the Employees Organizations we are sure you would kindly appreciate the
aspirations and expectations of the employees and officers of Civil Accounts
organization and extend your best support to fulfill those.
Many logical and justified
demands of the employees and officers of Civil Accounts organization are
pending with your office and we being the representatives of employees and
officers are patiently waiting for the settlement of those issues through
mutual dialogue with the Civil Accounts authorities across the table.
However, majority
of the issues are the common demands of
all Groups ‘B” and ‘C’ officers and employees of Civil Accounts Organization
and these are complementary to each other. As such, discussions on these issues
with one set of the representatives of the Officers and employees in a
truncated form in isolation keeping others away from the discussion would not
yield any result.
In
this background, the Co-ordination Committee of Civil Accounts Employees and
Officers Associations vide its letter No.COC/CA/2016/Corr.-18 dated 1st
May 2017 had requested you to kindly convene a courtesy meeting with its Delhi
based representatives so that they could be able to make their initial
submission with regard to the grievances of the employees and officers for your
kind perusal.
In
this respect, we would like to bring it to your kind information that, in spite
of being not recognized under CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993 earlier Controller Generals
had taken a kindhearted approach and convened formal meetings with the “All
India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II” and “All India
Association of Pay and Accounts Officers (Civil)” keeping in view the problems
of Employees and Officers. Those
meetings were as under-
1.
On
17-07-2014, an official meeting between
the Official side of the Office of the Controller General of Accounts and the
National Executives of both All India Civil Accounts Employees Association and
All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II was held under the
Chairmanship of the then Controller General of Accounts.
2.
On
15-11-2016, an official meeting between the official side and the
representatives of the Co-ordination Committee of Civil Accounts Employees and
Officers Associations was held under the Chairpersonship of the then Joint
Controller General of Accounts.
So far as the matters
concerning with the re-recognition and recognition of the All India Association
of Pay and Accounts Officers (Civil)” and recognition of “All India Civil
Accounts Employees Association Category II” respectively, we would like to
submit the following few lines in addition to the submissions made by the
concerned Associations to your kind self recently.
a) As per the provisions of the
CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993, re-verification of membership of an already recognized
Association is to be conducted by the authorities before five years period
ends. The membership re-verification for “All India Association of Pay and Accounts Officers (Civil)” which represents
the cadre of Sr. AO and AO was due in 2013. But the CGA authorities did not
follow the procedure of membership re-verification and they had unilaterally discontinued
the recognition facilities to the “All India Association of Pay and Accounts Officers (Civil)”in 2015 and in
spite of repeated persuasions the membership re-verification of this
Association was not conducted by the CGA authorities for last two years. Only
on 25th April 2017 they have ordered for verification of membership.
But no nodal authorities i.e. Pr. CCA/CCA/CA has so far forwarded this orders of
CGA to their field formations with the direction to undertake membership
verification of this Association.
b) As per membership
verification report declared in September 2015, the “All India Civil Accounts
Employees Association Category II” is representing more than 27% membership of
the cadre of AAO and it fulfills all conditions for recognition as a second
major Association in the cadre under CCS (RSA), Rules 1993. But the recognition was
denied by the CGA authorities persistently on the ground of not having 35%
membership strength which is one of the major conditions for granting
recognition to a service Association when there is no other recognized
Association exists in that category. The Association had therefore, accepted
the stand taken by the authority and kept on trying to acquire the confidence
of 35% AAOs.
In May, 2016
the Office of the Controller General of Accounts had notified for membership
verification of another Association of same category i.e. Category II keeping
the All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II in dark.
Although it has been very clearly indicated in the provisions of the CCS (RSA)
Rules, 1993 that membership verification of applicant Associations of a
particular category is to be undertaken at a time by authorities responsible
for granting recognition to the Associations so that all the Associations get
equal opportunity in motivating employees for becoming the members of their
respective Associations, but this procedure was not followed by your office.
However,
after learning that the office of the CGA has been undertaking membership
verification for another Association, this Association had requested on 8th
August, 2016 to provide its legitimate opportunities in terms of the provisions
of the CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993 and undo the injustice being done towards it. But,
the office of CGA had summarily rejected the requests of this Association
without even examining the contents of its letter dated 8th August,
2016 properly.
In the
official meeting held between the staff side representing AICAEA, AICAEA CAT II
and AIA PAO(Civil) and Official Side of the Office of Controller General of
Accounts on 15-11-2016, the official side had assured that, since another
Association was having 35% membership and being granted recognition, the All
India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II being the second biggest
Association in the category which is having 27% membership, its recognition
under the provisions of CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993 shall also be forwarded to
Ministry of Finance for approval. But, subsequently this Association was surprised to find that,
ignoring all laid down procedures and justifications, your office has
arbitrarily ordered for re-verification of the membership vide order dated 25th
April 2017. Further, your office has also asked the nodal authorities to submit
the verification report within a period of 45 days which is totally unjustified
as the AAOs are spread over more than a hundred stations of the country.
Moreover, no
nodal authorities i.e. Pr. CCA/CCA/CA has so far forwarded this orders of CGA
to their field formations with the direction to undertake membership
verification.
After
undertaking membership verification in same method for two Associations
separately, granting recognition to one of the Associations straight away and
ordering re-verification of other Association instead of granting recognition
ignoring the fact that the later is also eligible for recognition in terms of
the verification report and under the same CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993 is not only a
discrimination but a prejudiced approach of your office.
Sir, our contention of bringing the fact of pendency of re-recognition and recognition
of two Associations for years together to your kind information is due to the
reason that, pendency of re-recognition and recognition of these two Associations
is fraught with the grievances of the employees and officers of the cadres
concerned and has been adversely affecting the grievances and career prospects
of the totality of the Civil Accounts Employees and Officers’ altogether.
Therefore, we being one of the constituents of the
Co-ordination Committee of Civil Accounts Employees and officers Associations,
request you to kindly be pleased about the fact that the Co-ordination
Committee of Civil Accounts Employees and officers Associations which is in reality
representing and enjoying the confidence of the majority of the officers and
employees and dialogue with this forum of Officers and employees would not only reciprocally benefit both authorities and employees and officers
but shall also sustain a congenial atmosphere in the Civil Accounts
organization .
We submit herewith a list of
items containing the proposal for Cadre Review and other important pending
demands in the form of “CHARTER OF DEMANDS” which embrace totality of the employees
and officers of Civil Accounts organization. We request you to kindly convene a meeting
between the official side and the representatives of the Co-ordination
Committee of Civil Accounts Employees and Officers Associations at your
earliest convenience so that the issues could be discussed and settled.
The
date and time of the meeting may kindly be informed to us at least a fortnight
ahead so that our outstation representatives could attend the meeting.
We
shall be highly grateful if an early favorable response is given to our
request.
Thanking you,
Yours Sincerely,
(Shantanu Bhattacharyya)
