Subject: - Cadre Review
of Group B&C Cadres of Civil Accounts Organization – demand raised by the
Co-ordination Committee reg.
Sir,
In
pursuance of the discussions held in the meeting on 14th March 2018
between the Internal Cadre Review Committee and the representatives of the
Associations under your Chairmanship, the All India Association of Pay and Accounts Officers (Civil)
vide letter No.AIAPAO(C)/CHQ/2017-18/Cad Re Pr/22 dated 14-04-2018 has
forwarded the proposals for cadre review of the AO and Sr. AO cadre. Similarly
the proposals for the cadre review of cadres from the level of AAO to MTS have
been submitted jointly by the All India Civil Accounts Employees Association
and All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II vide letter No. AICAEA-AICAEA CATII/HQ/ A-2/7Cadre Review/2018/147 dated
20th April 2018.
This Co-ordination Committee being the joint platform of
the above named Associations endorses the proposals submitted by its affiliates
from their respective platforms and likes to submit that the following broad
aspects reflected through the proposals submitted by the affiliates of this
Co-ordination Committee may kindly be taken into consideration by the Internal
Cadre Review Committee while preparing its recommendations for submission to
the higher authorities:-
1.
Objective
of formation of “Departmentalized Accounting Wings” now called as “Civil
Accounts Organization” has been achieved but the elevated social and financial status
of Group B & C cadres ought to be there being a far cry yet – may kindly be
recommended to resolve.
2.
In last forty two
years there is more than 62.5% growth of ICAS cadres and the Group C & D
(now MTS) suffered negative growth to the extent of 20% which caused serious
imbalances of hierarchical pyramid of the Civil Accounts Organization – may
kindly be recommended to bring in order.
3.
In spite of
computerization and automation, need for manpower requirements in the lower
formations of the organization continued to rise as a natural course due to
increase in workload as a result of expansion of Ministries/Departments,
introduction of various new schemes and plans with target of making the Digital
India a success, at least 25% additional posts in Group B and C cadres may be suggested
to create.
4.
In order to ensure objective
functioning, the model of PAO/ZAOs may be recommended to compose at least with
one AO/ Sr. AO, one AAO, four Senior Accountants, one Accounts Assistant and
one MTS. Conditions
prevailing in the Pay and Accounts offices
of Ministry of Human Resource Development which are functioning without
Accounts/Senior Accounts Officers recommended for dispensation.
5.
The Field Pay Units of CBDT may be recommended
for conversion as full-fledged ZAOs.
6.
As per the ICAS
cadres, the Group B& C cadres may also be recommended to bring under the
control of a single authority i.e. Department of Expenditure, Ministry of
Finance.
7.
Long pending demand
of the Associations on the basis of the scientifically established justification
of equal status and pay scales to Group B and C Employees on par with Central
Secretariat cadres disturbed repeatedly and denied of late may be recommended
for restoration.
8.
It may kindly be
recommended that each and every Group B and C personnel from entry level should
be made entitled to at least five promotions in the entire service career.
9.
Group B cadre of CCAS may
be recommended for taking out of the purview of induction to ICAS for the
purposes of promotion as existing in CSS, CPWD etc
10. In the changed scenario of working condition and
responsibilities of the employees, the posts may be recommended for upgradation.
11. As per the standing policy of the Government of India, it may be
recommended that, there should not be more than ten years residency in one
post/scale.
12. In order to remove
stagnation, AO/Sr.AOs may be recommended for at least three non- functional up
gradation i.e. from level 10 to level 11, 12 and 13 and should accrue based on
a time bound manner.
13. In respect of the rest of the Group B& C level, principle of
one work one salary, one post one salary and equal pay for equal work may be
made the criteria for devising the pay structures in the cadre review process
and multiple posts and cadres performing same nature of work may be recommended
for merger/upgradation to the main functional posts and converted into a single
cadre.
14. In order to give minimum relief to the officers and employees
from the existing condition of stagnation in same post from the date of
appointment and absolute blockage from career advancements, 33.33% posts in all
grades may be recommended to make promotional posts from lower grades which
would still less than the promotional quota existing in Central Secretariat.
We
also endorse the pay structures demanded by the All
India Association of Pay and Accounts Officers (Civil), the All India Civil
Accounts Employees Association and All India Civil Accounts Employees
Association Category II through their independent proposals and request
that following structure of cadres for Civil Accounts Organization (CCAS) may
kindly be recommended.
