STAND OF THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF CIVIL ACCOUNTS ASSOCIATIONS

ON

THE DECISION CIRCULATED BY C.G.A. VIDE OM No:- A-34012/Online/MF.CGA (E)/522 dated 15^th May 2018

REGARDING 

RESTRUCTURING  THE AAO (CIVIL) EXAMINATION.

APPEAL TO MEMBERS

Dear Comrades,

Please discuss the contents of the proposals circulated by CGA in your Unit Associations and then in Branches. After full debate at the level of Branches   only, your consolidated view should reach to Central Headquarters of the Association. And then Central Headquarters shall finalize its stand after discussing in National/Federal Executive meeting to be held on 18^th and 19^th June 2018 in Delhi and convey to the CGA - which is the democratic method. Nothing can be finalized on the basis of the opinions received in the Whatsapp group and we hope, all of you shall agree to this.

Secondly, according to the precedent, the existing syllabus for AAO examination was finalized by CGA in 2006 after having detailed discussion with AICAEA on 22^nd May 2006. Therefore, we are confident that all officers who are reasonable will accept our suggestions if we are able to present those before them effectively.

Hence all of you are requested to take action as has been discussed in the first paragraph and strengthen the Associations by observing the organizational norms. Please remember, only a strong and united organization is capable to deliver best to its members and it is none other than the members who who can make the organization strong.

Reportedly, some individuals representing the organizations erected by C.G.A. authorities and who have no business with the AAO (Civil) Examinations but doing private business of running coaching classes for AAO (Civil) Examinations candidates are trying to mislead the candidates/prospective candidates in different manners. We suggest our members not to get themselves trapped in all these.

Subject:- Restructuring of AAO(Civil) Examination.

Sir,

            We have noted from your website that, your office vide OM No:- A-34012/Online/MF.CGA (E)/522 dated 15^th May 2018 has  decided to restructure the AAO (Civil) Examination.

            After examining the contents of the OM we are surprised to note that, your office has taken totally anti-employee and arbitrary approach on the matter. The approach taken by your office is going to cause serious adverse impact on the candidates already cleared a portion of AAO (Civil) examination or contemplating to appear the said examination in near future.

            Moreover, conventionally, before bringing amendments in the syllabus and changing the pattern of departmental examinations, concerned recognized Associations representing the candidates for the examinations are consulted and discussed. It is on record that, before introducing the erstwhile JAO© Examination in 2006 a full fledged meeting between the official side of CGA office and National Executive of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association was convened on 22^nd May 2006. But, under the aforementioned O.M. all recognized Associations have been casually asked by your office to offer their comments through email before 30^th June 2018 on the proposal for restructuring the AAO (Civil) Examination ignoring the fact that, exclusively the members of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association are appearing the AAO (Civil) Examination and the changes, if any, brought in the examination system, the members of this particular Association shall be affected directly.

            We therefore, record our strongest protest against such anti-employee and arbitrary actions of your office and demand for convening a full-fledged meeting between the apex authorities of Controller General of Accounts and the National Executives of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association for detailed discussion of entire proposal.

            We would also like to bring it your kind information that, being a responsible employee’s organization we had never stood adversely against the endeavor of Civil Accounts authorities in bringing improvements in the functioning of the Civil Accounts Organization and on this issue also we maintain the same position.  The National Executive of this Association shall meet in Delhi on 18^th & 19^th June 2018. Apart from discussing other issues, this meeting, on the basis of the opinions and suggestions received from its Units and Branches from entire country shall also finalize its opinion about restructuring of AAO (Civil) Examination. In view of this, we request you to kindly concede the request made in the preceding para of this letter about convening the meeting.

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,

(V. Bhattacharjee)

Sir,

            In endorsement of the letters No:- AICAEA/HQ/A-2/2018/152-155 dated 05.05.2018 of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association, No:- AICAEA Cat II/HQ/5-2/Cadre Review/2018-2019 dated 05.05.2018 of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category –II and No:- AIPAO©/CHQ/2018-19/Cad Re/1 dated 05.05.2018 of All India Association of Pay and Accounts Officer (Civil), we on behalf of entirety of the Group B&C Officers and employees would like to state that, the “Internal Cadre Review Committee” constituted vide OM No:- 32014/1/2014/MF.CGA/Group B/Cadre Review/911 dated 16^th January 2018 had completed its three months term on 15^th April 2018 and all the three major Associations named above have submitted the proposal for Cadre Review in an unified and under a rationalized approach within 20^th April, 2018.

            However, your office vide OM No:- A-32014/2014/MF.CGA/Gr-B/Cadre Review/80 dated 19^th April 2018 has extend the term of Internal Cadre Review Committee upto 15^th August 2018.

            But, we are of the opinion that, one more month’s time for the Internal Cadre Review Committee from the date submission of proposals by the Associations is sufficient for submission of report by it and there is no need for extension of its term till 15^th August 2018.

            We therefore, request you to direct the Internal Cadre Review Committee to submit its recommendations to your kind self within 31^st May 2018 so that the first Cadre Review of the Group B&C Cadres is implemented without further delay as it has been delayed by more than thirty five years by now.

            Since our members have become totally restive, we request you to kindly take early favorable action so that the prevailing peace and tranquility in the organization continues.

  

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,

Subject:- Request for justified actions in regulating promotion and transfer of AAOs.

Sir,

            It has been learnt that, in pursuance of the existing policy, your office is not going to post any of the qualified candidates of the AAO (Civil) Examination, 2017 to their respective stations of posting despite existence of vacancies of AAOs in those stations. As such, due to availability of very insignificant number of examination passed candidates, only a few selected AAOs of earlier batches who are waiting for posting to their respective choice stations from outstations shall be transferred.

            Since there are nearly one thousand vacancies of AAOs and the existing employees are not only suffering from the burden of work load but they have also been kept away from their legitimately due benefits, we would like to draw your attention to following suggestion of ours:–

1.     All candidates qualified AAO (Civil) Examination 2017 may be posted to their own/choice stations against existing vacancies of AAO available in such stations. - It would benefit both individuals and department/government as the vacancies of the stations shall be filled up on one side and the government would be free from the liabilities of retransferring them to their choice stations on completion of tenure and paying transfer benefits twice on the other side. 

2.     As the suggestion in 1 above shall end up with discrimination to all AAOs of earlier batches posted and working in the stations out of their choice and the Associations have always been advocating that - “a senior posted at outstation due to non-availability of vacancy at his choice station should be brought back at his choice station vice the junior promoted later on when vacancy arises at the choice station”;  all such AAOs  may be posted back to their choice stations against existing vacancies.

3.     There is a clear cut provision in the Recruitment Rules of JAO/AAO for filling up of 10 percent posts through promotion of Senior Accountants who have completed ten years service in the grade and crossed 53 years of age. Since this process has been discontinued abruptly from 2015 onwards without any valid ground, may be restored immediately.

4.     All unfilled vacancies after taking steps suggested in 1, 2& 3 may kindly be filled up locally by granting promotions as “Acting AAOs” in terms of the provisions envisaged in para 4 of the O.M. No.A.32016/2/ 2010/MF.CGA/Acting AAO/443 dated 21^st September 2012 O.M. No.A.32016/2/ 2010/MF.CGA/Acting AAO/733 dated 28^th March, 2013 and O.M. No.A.32016/2/2010/ MF.CGA/ Acting AAO/205 dated 30^th December 2016 of the CGA to eligible persons till regular AAOs become available. 

        In this connection, we would also like to bring it to your kind information that despite huge vacancies of AAOs, majority of the heads of the Departments of Civil Accounts Organization are not processing the willingness being submitted by the Senior Accountants for years together resulting the offices to suffer without the AAOs and the senior most Senior Accountants despite being eligible for promotion are forced to retire without having a single promotion in their entire service career. There are glaring examples from CBDT, Ministry of Finance, CAPD and many other offices where the willingness were not processed for more than a year.  Not only this, some of the authorities are not processing the willingness of the Senior Accountants at all. Such authorities are CBEC, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and Ministry of External Affairs etc. Moreover, the CGA Office has devised a rule setting aside the guidelines of the DOP&T that the Senior Accountants retiring within less than three months period shall not be granted even the adhoc promotion while the Principal Accounts Offices and CGA office are delaying the processing of the promotion cases on technical grounds. This problems needs to be resolved immediately.

Further, as per DOPT guidelines in OM No. 28036/8/87-Estt. (D), dated 30^th March, 1988-“where the appointing authority is not the Ministries, the authority competent to approve adhoc appointments may be decided by the Administrative Ministries themselves. The competent authority so authorized by the Ministries should be one level higher than the appointing authority prescribed for the post.” Therefore, adhoc appointments can be continued till three years at the level of AAO and CGA is competent to grant approval for continuation of adhoc appointment beyond the period of one year.

            We therefore, request you to kindly consider our above suggestions and take favorable decisions on them as these would serve the interest of both department and employees simultaneously.    

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,
