Respected Madam,

       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, we congratulate you for your elevation to the highest position of the Civil Accounts Organization and welcome you too as our Controller General of Accounts.

       We are confident, 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 official 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 the chairperson-ship Controller Generals.    

We are satisfied to learn that,  the 1st Cadre Review proposals for Group B and C cadres have been forwarded to the Department of Expenditure by the office of the Controller General of Accounts with the recommendations for improvements in the promotional prospects of MTS, LDC, Senior Accountant, Secretarial cadres and Sr. AO.

But a large number of issues on which favorable decisions have been taken by the Official side in the above referred meetings are yet to be implemented. Moreover, a few among them need further discussion bilaterally for their settlement in favour of the employees and officers as those would serve the interest of the Civil Accounts organization and improve its efficiency further.

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

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,

Enclo:- as above
