The Accountant from CAPD, Delhi who was transferred to   Chennai vindictively last month has been ordered to join in Delhi office today itself and he has joined accordingly.

It's a product of the efforts of AICAEA, Delhi Branch and also the NFCAA.

We hope, CCA, CAPD shall also revoke the transfer of the MTS Comrade from Chennai to Delhi.

Subject:   Non-payment of salary for the months of July and August 2020 to COVID-19 infected pregnant women employee by the Principal Accounts Office, Ministry of  Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare –request for intervention regarding.

Sir,

I have been directed to invite your kind attention to the item No. 4 of the AGENDA submitted vide our letter No:- AICAEA-AICAEA CAT II/HQ/A-3/2020/1865-87 dated 13.08.2020 requesting you to kindly convene a meeting with the representatives of the Association and the representation of Smt. Shweta Jain, working as Sr. Accountant in Pr. Accounts Office, Ministry of  Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare and state that, in spite of the best possible efforts by us and the victimised official, the administration of your office and the DDO in particular  has not made  payment of salary of the official who performed her duty. Due to complications in her pregnancy, Smt. Jain was on leave in the month of January and February. She had reported for duty in the month of March 2020. However, after issuing advisories by the DOP&T and imposition of lockdown by the Government of India subsequently to contain the spread of Pandemic of COVID-19, she had been working from home since 20th March to 31st July, 2020 and it is on record. Smt. Jain being in her advanced stage and her entire family including herself being infected by coronavirus was passing a very difficult situation and her father in-law has expired as a result of COVID-19 infection in the meantime. 

In the advisory issued by DoPT vide O.M. dated 17.03.2020, it has been specifically advised that: 

“…. All employees who are at higher risk i.e. older employees, pregnant employees and employees who have underlying medical conditions, to take extra precautions. The Ministries/ Departments may take care not to expose such employees to any front-line work requiring direct contact with the Public. “   

In reiteration of the above O.M., the DOPT vide its OM dated   19.05.2020 has given further clarifications in the following manner-

“………Person with Disabilities and Pregnant women may also not be included to the roster to be prepared”. 

But the administration of the Ministry of Agriculture, Co-operation & Farmers Welfare had included Smt. Sweta Jain, Sr. Accountant in the roster system.  Not only this, in spite of the requests by her for considering her difficulties and appreciating that she had been working from home in conformity with the advisories issued by different Ministries of  Government of India and the Controller General of Accounts, Department of Expenditure in respect of the Civil Accounts Employees in specific,  the administration of the Ministry of Agriculture, Co-operation & Farmers Welfare had issued memo to her seeking explanation while a few more employees of the same office were given relief from roaster duty by the AAO establishment of the same office  unauthorizedly and those employees despite remaining absent from 20^th March 2020 onwards had been paid been paid full salary for the period of their absence. 

Due to complications, Smt. Jain had proceeded to maternity leave and she delivered a child even before completion of 8^th months and being the mother of a prematurely born child she has been facing a very critical situation mentally, physically and financially.  But it is extremely unfortunate to record here that, in spite of being on maternity leave, the Administration of CCA, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare has not released her salary for the months of July and August 2020.

Above discussed actions on the part of the Administration of CCA, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare being nothing but a gross violation of the DOP&T OM No. 11013/9/2014-Estt.A.III dated 19-05-2020 and most cruel approach towards a Coronavirus infected Pregnant Woman employee , I have been directed to request you the following:-

1.     Direct the Administration of your department to release the salary of the official for July and August 2020 immediately.

2.     Initiate appropriate departmental actions against the officers indulging in the practice of discrimination among the employees and harassing a section of them by using their official position.

Thanking you,

Yours’ sincerely

Subject:-Absorption of deputationists as Accountant in Central Civil Accounts Service (CCAS)

 

Madam,

 

          I have been directed to refer to the above mentioned subject and state that, a committee was constituted by the office of the Controller General of Accounts in order to revisit the OM. No. A-110201/1/2014/MF.CGA (A)/245 dated 23-07-2015 under Chairmanship of the then Addl. Controller General of Accounts. This Committee had invited the All India Civil Accounts Employees Association to take part in the meeting of the committee on 25^th June 2019 as a stake holder and share its opinion.  Accordingly, the representatives of the Association had attended the meeting and offered its opinion.  Thereafter, the office of the CGA had issued the OM. No. 11020/1/2014/MF.CGA (A)/112 dated 14^th August 2019 wherein the final decision taken by the office of the Controller General of Accounts  with regard to the issue of absorption of deputationists as Accountant in Central Civil Accounts Service (CCAS) was as conveyed and it was as below:-

“It has been decided to relax the ban imposed on permanent absorption of   deputationists as Accountant (CCAS) in force vide CGA’S OM. No. A-110201/1/2014/MF.CGA(A)/245 dated 23-07-2015 , as one time measure in respect of number of deputationists not more than 10% of vacancies reported to this office for Combined Graduate Level Examination(CGLE)-2017 or minimum one deputationist and subject to the following conditions and procedure of eligible cases:-   ………….”

 

In the said OM itself your office had also emphasized on the following:-

 

“ (ii) No request for relaxation in eligibility criteria/conditions shall be forwarded to this office. Further, the incomplete proposals will not be entertained for consideration.

 

(iii)  The last date for submission of a consolidated proposal from Ministry/ Department is 31.10.2019. Any proposal received in this beyond the stipulated date will not be entertained in any case.”

 

           It was also very clearly recorded in the above referred OM. of your office that:-

“……..the scheme of the rules warrants that primary source of recruitment, namely, SSC, should be given its due importance. Deputation/ extension of deputation should be resorted only when it is not possible to get candidates from SSC. Deputation/ Extension of deputation should therefore be on year-to –year basis and meantime the efforts should be continued to get candidates from SSC.” 

          The above decisions conveyed by your office with regard to the issue of absorption of deputationists as Accountant in Central Civil Accounts Service (CCAS) being totally in the interest of each and every Group -C employees of the Civil Accounts Organisation who have been suffering from the serious damage to their career prospects and a final settlement of one of the long pending demands of this Association, the Association on behalf its rank and file membership had offered its thankfulness to the Civil Accounts authorities in the subsequent meeting held with the Civil Accounts authorities.

          But the Association is extremely disappointed to learn from various sources that, some of the heads of the departments and especially the Pr. CCA, MHA has reopened the issue of absorption of deputationists as Accountant in Central Civil Accounts Service (CCAS) by sending fresh proposals in this regard to your office and your office is giving a re-look into it. If it is so, then it is very unfortunate and it will be an incident of withdrawal of the understanding on protection of the interests of the indigenous employees of Civil Accounts Organisation given to them through their Organisation.

          Therefore, on behalf the Association, I request you not to re-open the procedure of absorption of deputationists so that a fresh episode of damage to the career prospects of Civil Accounts cadres is not r-opened.

Thanking you,

 

Yours Sincerely,
