Subject: - Non-settlement
of long pending issues concerning with Employees & Officers of Civil
Accounts Organization.
Madam,
We
the undersigned have been directed to refer to the above and state that,
responding to your office letter No:-
A-11019/25/2018/MF.CGA/NGE/AICAEA/Part/266 dated 18th March, 2020, the All India
Civil Accounts Employees Association and All India Civil Accounts
Employees Association Category II functioning as the affiliates of
National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations(NFCAA) vide their letter No
AICAEA-AICAEA CAT-II/HQ/A-2/2020/140 dated 19.03.2020 had conveyed
the decisions of suspending the scheduled Dharna in front of your office
on 19th March 2020 and in front of
the office of the Secretary, Department of Expenditure on 20th March 2020 till the time
the crisis of coronavirus arisen in the country settles down.
Further, immediately after
the imposition of lock down, the Civil Accounts organisation was declared as
essential service by the Ministry of Finance and ordered the employees and
officers of the organisation to complete the payment functions before the close
of the financial year on 31st March 2020.
The Associations performed as catalysts
in this situation and the employees and officers have
completed the assigned task within the targeted date risking their lives and
the lives of their family members and even facing the atrocities of police in
different cities. Not only this, even now when the pandemic of COVID- 19
is spreading unabated in the country, Civil Accounts employees are performing their
duties without even arrangements of basic protective equipment and
facilities like face masks, hand sanitisers and sanitization of office
premises etc.
But
even after three weeks of introduction of Unlock 1 by the Government of India,
we
haven’t received any favourable response to any of
the pending issues either from your end or from the end of the Department of
Expenditure. Moreover, after you took over the charge of the Office of the
Controller General of Accounts, it is nearly 8(eight) months now you have not
even convened a single meeting with the representatives of the Associations
while as per norm prescribed by the Government of India, heads of the
departments/ organisations should meet the employees Associations at least in
every three months with the objective of resolving the grievances of their
employees so that employer-employee relationship is promoted and efficiency of
the department is maintained. Therefore, as per this norm, at least two
meetings between you and the representatives of the Associations should
have taken place till date. But, it is most unfortunately it is to record here
that no meeting was convened by you so far.
Under
the above circumstances, a huge number of grievances of the employees has
piled up apart from the long pending issues and hence, there are
sufficient justifications that our members have become restive against the
apathetic attitude of the authorities towards their genuine problems.
However,
after exhaustive examination of a long list of pending issues, we have been
directed to forward only a few very important items with the request to you to
resolve them through mutual dialogue across the table.
Accordingly,
we are enclosing herewith the list of items as “Agenda Items” we propose
to discuss and request you to kindly make arrangements for the meeting and
settlement of the issues.
We
are however, constrained to inform that, if this request letter of ours is also
ignored, we shall be forced to
resume our protest actions and it would begin on 25th June 2020 with office wise protest
meetings.
We
hope, will kindly examine the enclosed “Agenda Items” personally and take
appropriate favourable actions to resolve the grievances of the officers and
employees across the table congenially.
Thanking you,
Yours Sincerely,
Encl: as above

Withdrawal of ban on forwarding the applications of Assistant Accounts

be removed as for the last three years no AAO (Civil) Examination has
