Subject: - Non-merger of PAO, ISP and PAO, CNP, Nashik – request regarding.
Sir,
          I would like to bring it to your kind information that, there are 2 (two) PAO Offices functioning at Nashik under CCA, Ministry of Finance viz. PAO, CNP and PAO, ISP at Nashik Road. As per the existing scenario, sanctioned strength of both the offices is 1 PAO/Sr. AO, 2 AAOs, 6 Accts/Sr. Acctts and 1 MTS respectively. Presently, working strength of both the offices is 1 PAO, 1 AAO, 2 Acctts/Sr. Acctts only.
          As the Cadre Review of Civil Accounts Organization is under process, it is understood that the proposal is under consideration at CCA, Ministry of Finance for merger of both the PAOs i.e. ISP and CNP, Nashik into one PAO with sanctioned strength of 1 PAO/Sr. AO, 1 AAO, 3 Acctts/Sr. Acctts and one MTS. Proposal is at final stage and is going to be recommended by O/o CCA, Ministry of Finance to the Internal Cadre Review Committee of your office.
          Though, it is agreed that, after corporatization of mints and Presses, work load has drastically reduced but quantum of Pension cases involved in e-revision was huge. 5775 cases in PAO, CNP and 6969 cases in PAO, ISP and revision of these cases was herculian task which is still under process in PAO, ISP. In addition, there are substantial numbers of family pension cases pertaining to widowed/divorced/unmarried daughters are in receipt at PAO offices for authorization. All these pension files are being managed by PAOs of ISP and CNP, Nashik separately. Both the departments i.e. ISP and CNP are separate entity and working independently with separate HODs.
          As the proposal is under consideration for merging of both the PAO i.e. ISP and CNP in to one, this move will not only reduce the sanctioned strength in each cadre but it will be very difficult to manage such huge records of both the offices at one place consequent on merger of the offices.
          We therefore, request you to kindly direct the Internal Cadre Review Committee of your office to examine the contents of this letter and take a decision in consultation with the Chief Controller of Accounts, Ministry of Finance keeping in consideration the interest of organization and its employees.

Thanking you,
Yours Sincerely,

Dear Comrades,

DEMAND OF PROMOTION OF SENIOR ACCOUNTANTS AS AAOs AGAINST 10% POSTS OF AAOs: 

REGISTER YOUR CLAIM BY REPRESENTING TO THE AUTHORITIES

You are aware that, due to our persistent struggle, the Controller General of Accounts had amended the Recruitment Rules of erstwhile JAO/AAOs cadre in 2000 and reserved 10 percent posts in the cadre of JAO for promotion of Senior Accountants on seniority basis.
After implementation of 6CPC the  office of the Controller General of Accounts vide para 2 of the O.M. No:-A-60015/1/2008/MF.CGA (A)/NGE/Pay Com/29 dated 2nd June 2009 had re-designated JAO-AAO as AAO and took the decision of granting promotion to Senior Accountants as AAOs against 10% posts of AAOs. But after November, 2014 the office of the Controller General of Accounts had discontinued promotion to Senior Accountants as AAOs under 10% promotion quota on the plea that DOPT had raised objection.
When we raised our objection to the stand of Controller General of Accounts and demanded for continuation of promotion of Senior Accountants through organizational actions, the office of the Controller General of Accounts Office vide its letter dated 15.10.2015 had assured us that, in order to ensure that career prospects of the Senior Accountants (who are basically retiring in the cadre in which they are being recruited) are not stalled, it shall create the posts of Supervisor (Accountants) and at the time of amending the Recruitment Rules for AAOs, the RR for Supervisor (Accountants) shall also be adopted and notified along with the RRs of AAOs.
But, no action by the Controller General of Accounts was taken within last three years. Though the office of Controller General of Accounts has been processing for the amendments in the RRs of AAO but it has not taken any step to frame the Recruitment Rule of Supervisor (Accounts).
Due to our persistent persuasion, the Controller General of Accounts had agreed to grant adhoc promotion to all eligible Senior Accountant and a fresh order in this respect was issued by the office of the Controller General of Accounts on 30th December, 2016. But, this order has not been implemented in its true spirit and in violation of all rules, the office of the Controller General of Accounts is refusing promotions to many of the Senior Accountants on the ground that they are retiring within less than three months service while entire problem is a byproduct of the mishandling of the requests or recommendations for adhoc promotions and delayed processing of those by the Heads of Departments.
In February 2017,   it was attempted by the then Controller General of Accounts to fill up 643 vacant posts of AAOs on deputation basis instead of granting promotions to eligible employees of Civil Accounts Organsiation and all requests of the Association in this respect was discarded by the said Controller General of Accounts and her team of officers. However, by resorting to continuous demonstration and two days hunger strike on 27th & 28th February, 2017 we could be able to compel the Controller General of Accounts to retreat from the approach of bringing persons on deputation.
In the meeting between the official side of the office of Controller General of Accounts and the National Executive of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association held on 16th August, 2018, both the issues of granting promotion under 10% promotional quota and adhoc appointment to  Senior Accountants as AAOs were discussed. But, there was not much headway in this regard. Moreover, the minutes of the meeting has not also been finalized by the official side so far.
In view of the huge financial loss and social degradation of  Senior Accountants for last three years, the Central Headquarters of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association has issued a letter vide No:- AICAEA/HQ/A-2/2018/406-407 dated 10.09.2018 to the Controller General of Accounts demanding the following-
1.      Since neither the Recruitment Rules, 2000 for Junior Accounts Officers and Asstt. Accounts Officers has been amended nor the Recruitment Rules for Supervisor (Accounts) has been framed for last three years and the Senior Accountants eligible for promotions as Assistant Accounts Officers under 10% promotion quota as par the provisions of the Junior Accounts Officers and Asstt. Accounts Officers Recruitment Rules, 2000 were not granted promotion as Assistant Accounts Officers despite existence of vacancies under the specified promotion quota, all of them may be granted promotion as Assistant Accounts Officers immediately.
2.      The process of granting promotion to Senior Accountants as Assistant Accounts Officers under the 10% promotion quota may be continued till the Recruitment Rules for Supervisor (Accounts) is framed and implemented so that the promotions of the Senior Accountants are not stalled abruptly.
It has further been decided that,
1.     All Senior Accountants who have not been granted promotion as AAOs under 10% promotion quota despite being eligible shall submit individual representations to the Controller General of Accounts through proper channel and  endorse the copies of their representations to Central Headquarters of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association through their respective Units and Branches.
2.     The copies of representations should reach to central headquarters of AICAEA within 25th September 2018.
3.     If the authorities do not respond, we shall have to go for the legal course of action.
The draft of the representation is annexed to this Circular. It should be neatly typed and then submitted to the authorities with proper signature etc. and advance copy should also be sent to CGA.
All Branches and Units are requested to give wide publicity of this Circular among the members and guide them for processing their representations.

With warm greetings,
(V. Bhattacharjee)

Subject: - Promotion of eligible Senior Accountants as Assistant Accounts Officers under 10% promotion quota.

Sir,

I have been directed to refer the subject mentioned above and draw your kind attention to the following few lines for your kind perusal and favorable action:-
1.     In persuasion of Ministry of Finance, Government of India Notification dated 29.08.2018, the office of the Controller General of Accounts vide para 2 of the O.M. No:-A-60015/1/2008/MF.CGA (A)/NGE/Pay Com/29 dated 2nd June 2009 had conveyed the following decisions-
(a)   The cadre of Junior Accounts Officer and Assistant Accounts Officer would be re-designated as Assistant Accounts Officer and classified as Group “B” Gazetted.
(b)   Till such time, the new Recruitment Rules are framed, the promotions to the new cadre of AAO would be made in terms of existing RRs of JAO cadre.
2.     As per (i) & (ii) of colum 12 of the Central Civil Accounts Service (Junior Accounts Officer and Assistant Accounts Officer) Recruitment Rules, 2000 placed in the website of the Controller General of Accounts, Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure-
(i)     90% posts in the grade of Junior Accounts Officer shall be filled by promotion on seniority- cum-fitness from a common seniority list to be drawn up and maintained by the Controller General of Accounts of persons who have passed Junior Accounts Officers (Civil) Examination,
and
(ii)  10% of posts in the grade of Junior Accounts Officer shall be filled up by promotion from common seniority list to be drawn up and maintained by Controller General of Accounts of senior Accounts who have rendered not less than 10 years service in the grade on selection-cum-seniority and who have crossed the age of 53 years as on 1st January of the year.
3.     In persuasion of the decisions conveyed through the O.M. number referred in point 1 above, your office had granted promotions to the grade of Assistant Accounts Officer to the eligible persons till November 2014 in application of the provisions laid down in (1) & (2) of the colum 12 of Central Civil Accounts Service (Junior Accounts Officer and Assistant Accounts Officer) Recruitment Rules, 2000 stated in the point No. 2 of this letter.
4.     From December 2014 onwards, your office has stopped granting promotions to the eligible persons in application of the provisions (2) of column 12 of Central Civil Accounts Service (Junior Accounts Officer and Assistant Accounts Officer) Recruitment Rules, 2000.
5.     This Association was however, given to understand by your office vide letter dated 26.10.2015 that, in order to recognize the services being rendered by the Senior Accountants and to ensure continuation of their career advancements, a separate method for promotion of Senior Accountants shall be adopted by your office through issuing of Notifications of Recruitment Rules for Supervisor (Accounts) and AAOs simultaneously. But it is three years now, your office has not even circulated the draft Recruitments Rules for Supervisor (Accounts).
Due to above narrated situations, hundreds of eligible Senior Accountants have not got the due benefit of promotions as Assistant Accounts Officers from December 2014 onwards and many of the Senior Accountants have even retired from service while nearly 50% (fifty percent) posts of Assistant Accounts Officers in the Civil Accounts Organization are lying vacant for last four years and the senior most Senior Accountants  working in the field formations are shouldering the additional work loads of vacant posts of Assistant Accounts Officers.
Under the above circumstances and in pursuance of the point No. 3 of our letter No. AICAEA-AICAEACATII/HQ/A-2/2018/156 dated 9th May 2018, we would like to request you the following-
1.      Since neither the Central Civil Accounts Service (Junior Accounts Officers and Asstt. Accounts Officers) Recruitment Rules, 2000 has been amended nor the Recruitment Rules for Supervisor (Accounts) has been framed for last three years and the Senior Accountants eligible for promotions  as Assistant Accounts Officers under 10% promotion quota as par the provisions of the Central Civil Accounts Service (Junior Accounts Officers and Asstt. Accounts Officers) Recruitment Rules, 2000 were not granted promotion as Assistant Accounts Officers despite existence of vacancies under the specified promotion quota, all of them may kindly be granted promotion as Assistant Accounts Officers immediately.
2.      The process of granting promotion to Senior Accountants as Assistant Accounts Officers under the 10% promotion quota may be continued till the Recruitment Rules for Supervisor (Accounts) is framed and implemented so that the promotions of the Senior Accountants are not stalled abruptly.
This Association shall be extremely thankful to you, if you kindly appreciate the sufferings of the Senior Accountants in the shape of both financial loss as well as social degradation, and provide them justice by taking early favorable actions on the requests made through this letter.

Thanking you,
Yours Sincerely,


(V. Bhattacharjee)
