But, other than items No:-
4&5, no assurance given in the meeting has so far been honoured. Regarding
AAO (Civil) Examination, only Regulations and Syllabus had been published vide OM
dated 15th January, 2020.
3.
After waiting for nearly a month, the AICAEA vide its letter No:-
AICAEA/HQ/A-2/2020-665-667 dated 27.01.2020 had
requested Controller General of Accounts to kindly convene an exclusive meeting
for bilateral settlement of following issues connected with the AAO(Civil)
Examination:-
1. Exemptions secured by all the candidates may be allowed to carry forward
in the respective papers, and the chances availed by those candidates be
exhausted as per para 5 of the OM dated 15th Januarys 2020 (e.g. If a candidate has availed two (02) chances and has
passed three (03) papers, he/she may be exempted to appear those respective
three papers and allowed to appear rest five (05) papers in 04 more chances as
per para 5 of Regulations 2020).
2. Those candidates who are due to clear only one paper i.e. who have
cleared 7 out of total 8 papers by exhausting 6 (six) chances may be given at
least one chance to appear as per the CGA’s Special Examination Regulations
2011.
Subsequently
vide letter of even number dated 11.02.2020, the AICAEA in addition its
persuasion to different officers of the office of Controller General of
Accounts personally, requested Controller General of Accounts once again to
convene the meeting at her earliest convenience. But, these requests have
been ignored by the Controller General of Accounts.
4. Since the AAO (Civil) Examination system itself has been made inoperative by the authorities
of Controller General of Accounts for last three years, the AICAEA vide its letter No:-
AICAEA/HQ/A-2/2020/126 dated 12.02.2020 explained the harmful effects of discontinuation of the AAO (Civil) Examination for
last three years on the totality of Civil Accounts Employees right from MTS to
AAOs and requested her to take urgent steps to restore the AAO(Civil)
Examination immediately. But, the Controller General of Accounts has neither
agreed to meet with the representatives of the Association nor taken any
tangible step to resolve the stalemate.
5. Further it is more than
three years now, the authorities of the
Department of Expenditure have not convened a single meeting of the
Departmental Council (JCM) with the AICAEA. Had this forum been brought
into operation and had the meetings been there during the last three years,
many of the long pending issues including the major issues on which we are
being forced to agitate now would have been settled long back. Therefore,
our protest against this matter shall also be there.
Under the above circumstances and in pursuance of the 16th/8th
AICs of AICAEA/AICAEA Cat-II held at Hyderabad from 3rd to 5th
January 2020, the National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations had
decided to organise country wide Branch level Dharna on 20th
February 2020. However, due to sudden demise of the father in-law of Com. Amol
V. Sule, President NFCAA, Knee surgery of Com. Ajay K Patole, Addl. SG.AICAEA
and hospitalisation of Com. V. Bhattacharjee, Secretary General, the programme
has been rescheduled on 27th February 2020. Therefore we call upon the totality of membership to unite and hold
day long Dharna in front of the office of the Senior most officer of the
station on 27th February 2020, from 10.30 AM to 4 PM under the
banner of NFCAA (AICAEA & AIACEA CAT-II) Branches.
A Resolution may be adopted
in the lunch hour meeting at the Dharna spot and forwarded to the Controller
General of Accounts and the Secretary Department of Expenditure. The draft of
the Resolution is annexed to this circular.
Further, many of our members might not be aware of
the 22 (twenty two) charter of demand of
the Co-ordination Committee of Civil Accounts Employees and Officers
Association. So the charter of demands is also annexed to this circular. It
may be circulated among the members to make them aware about our demands.
With warm greetings,
(V. Bhattacharjee
Secretary General
