Respected Sir,

        We on behalf of totality of the members of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association, All India Association of Pay and Accounts Officers (Civil) and All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II congratulate you for your elevation to the highest position of the Civil Accounts Organization.

        We are sure, under your able leadership and thoughtful guidance, the Civil Accounts Organization shall move forward further with glory. As responsible employees representatives we assure our full co-operation to you.

          In the recent past, a series of meetings were held between the officials side and the representatives of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association, All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II and All India Association of Pay and Accounts Officers (Civil) under your chairperson-ship and chairperson-ship of Joint Controller General of Accounts (Group-B) apart from the meeting on 16^th August, 2019 under chairperson-ship of earlier Controller General of Accounts.

          Few decisions taken in the above referred meetings have kindly been implemented by the official side and the office of the Controller General of Accounts. However, a large number of issues on which favorable decisions have been taken by the Official side are yet to be implemented and a few among them need further discussion bilaterally for their settlement in favor of the employees as well as in the interest of the Organization altogether. Keeping these aspects in to consideration, we have examined the status of the items discussed in the earlier meetings and concluded that, a review meeting for finalization of the issues pending at this stage is essential.

          We therefore, request you to kindly convene a meeting with the representatives of the Associations at your earliest convenience for discussion and settlement of the pending items and those are annexed to this memorandum as “Agenda Items”.

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,

Enclo:- as above
