3.   DISCONTINUATION OF ALL RELATIONS WITH CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AND WORKERS AT ALL LEVELS AND TAKE MEASURES TO PROTECT THE INTERESTS OF MEMBERS OF AICAEA AND AICAEA CAT-II. 
As scheduled, the Federal Executive meeting of the National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations was held on 23rd February, 2020 in Mumbai. The meeting was presided over by Com. Amol V. Sule, President.
At the very outset, the meeting discussed the reporting’s made by Secretary Generals about the decisions taken by the 16th AIC of AICAEA and 8th AIC of AICAEA Cat-II at Hyderabad from 3rd to 5th January, 2020. 
REVIEW OF THE STATUS OF PENDING DEMANDS
Thereafter, the meeting reviewed the status of the following major items pending with the Controller General of Accounts and the Department of Expenditure:-
a.      Finalization of Cadre Review.
The proposal for Cadre Review with recommendations of CGA was forwarded to the Department of Expenditure on 30th July 2019, there is no further progress. On 26th December 2019, Addl. Controller General of Accounts had informed in an informal meeting that the matter is under persuasion with the Department of Expenditure. But there is no progress.
b.     Restoration of AAO (Civil Examination).
It has been almost three years since the   AAO (Civil) Examination has been discontinued. As a result, a total backlog in the promotion prospects of totality of the employees’ right from MTS to Sr. Accountants has been generated. Despite repeated requests, CGA has not taken any tangible step to restore the AAO (Civil) Examination. Moreover, CGA is not ready to negotiate on the issue of grant of exemptions to the candidates who cleared upto 7(seven) papers in the old system of examinations.
c.      Recognition of AICAEA Cat-II.
The AICAEA CAT II has fulfilled all conditions for recognition under CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993.  The DOPT has cleared the file in November 2019. But the Joint CGA is withholding the file at her level without any reason for the last three months and thereby the recognition is pending.
d.     Merger of Acctt. /Sr. Acctt.
It was agreed by the CGA authorities to recommend the merger of Accountant and Sr. Accountant to the Department of Expenditure and accordingly, the AICAEA was asked to give its proposal. The AICAEA vide its letter dated 15th December, 2019 has submitted its proposal. On 26th December 2019, Addl. CGA had assured that necessary action to send the recommendations shall be taken. But no action has so far been initiated. 
e.      Promotion of all eligible MTS as LDC as a onetime measure.
Several posts of LDCs are vacant in the Organisation due to faulty promotion policy and non-processing of promotions on time. We have been repeatedly requesting the authorities to grant promotions at least to the eligible MTS as LDC as a onetime measure. But CGA is totally unresponsive in the matter.
f.        Promotion of Sr. Acctt. Against 10% quota
Promotion of Senior Accountants as AAOs against 10% promotion quota has been discontinued by the CGA authorities with effect from October 2015. Despite repeated requests and discussions in the consecutive meetings, the CGA office has not taken any action to resolve the issue due to which the Senior Accountants are retiring from service without even getting their legitimately due promotions as Assistant Accounts Officers.
g.      Non-functioning of Departmental Council (JCM)
Departmental Council under the Chairpersonship of Secretary, Department of Expenditure under JCM scheme was created in 2017. But till date no meeting of the Departmental Council has been convened by the Secretary, Department of Expenditure as a result of which many issues including the issue of 1st Cadre Review of Group B&C cadres did not make desired progress.
h.     Other major issues.
Apart from other issues, the Co-ordination Committee of Civil Accounts Employees and Officers Associations has submitted a Memorandum to the CGA on 2nd December 2019 containing 22 (twenty two) pending items. But CGA has not convened any meeting for the last two and a half months to discuss the issues submitted by the COC for discussion. 

ACTION PROGRAMMES
The meeting, in pursuance of the decisions taken in the All India Conferences and after threadbare discussion on the status of the demands has taken following decisions:-
1.                 COUNTRY WIDE BRANCH LEVEL DHARNA AT ALL STATIONS ON 27.02.2020.
              There shall be Branch wise Day Long Dharna on 27th February 2020.

ORGANISATIONAL MATTERS
The Federal Executive meeting on 23rd February 2020 held a detailed discussion on the intentional insult inflicted by leadership of Confederation of Central Government Employees & workers on AICAEA and AICAEA CATEGORY II as well as their  leadership. After a marathon discussion for about four hours the meeting took the united decision that the affiliates of NFCAA   i.e. AICAEA and AICAEA Category II shall cease all relations with the Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers with immediate effect. Henceforth, no programme or call from the Confederation shall be implemented by AICAEA and AICAEA CAT-II or their Branches/ units/ members. Further, the NFCAA and its affiliates shall take all necessary steps to protect the interests of their members.
                                                              
SECTIONAL DEMANDS
 It was decided by the meeting that all sectional (PCCA/CCA office wise) demands shall be consolidated by the Branches and forwarded to the Central Headquarters of the Associations for taking up with the authorities.
