Dear Comrades,



We congratulate and convey our thanks to all the Branches that have implemented the branch level demonstration on 21st /22nd Oct 2014 in protest of the of the indiscriminate transfer of persons ignoring the proposals offered by the Federation in respect of Transfer policy of AAO/PAO.  As a result of the organizational action, the Addl. Controller General met the federation representatives on 31st October 2014and agreed to consider the genuine cases. He also requested the representatives of the Federation to provide such cases. However, a detailed report in this respect is being circulated separately.



HOLD BRANCH LEVEL DEMONSTRATION ON 12TH NOVEMBER 2014
IN FRONT OF THE PAO, CBEC UNITS TO PROTEST AGAINST ANTI- EMPLOYEE AND VINDICTIVE ATTITUDE OF THE AUTHORITIES OF PR. CCA, CBEC
                                                                                                                                                                   

It is more than year, we have been requesting the authorities of the Office of Pr. CCA, CBEC to resolve the urgent nature issues concerning with the employees.  But the authorities had given a deaf ear to our requests and maintained vindictive attitude towards the employees all along.  They had resorted to indiscriminate mass transfer of the employees in Delhi and harassing the Association representatives and those employees who stand reasonably and do not endorse the unreasonable approach of the authorities.  However, we tried to maintain a congenial atmosphere and continued our persuasion for amicable settlement of the issues.
The Federal Executive meeting held in September 2013 passed and forwarded a resolution to the Pr. CCA, CBEC requesting him to convene a meeting with the Representatives of the Associations for settlement of the long pending problems concerning with the employees.  Though there was no positive response, but the Federation headquarters kept on pursuing with the Pr. CCA, CBEC in a peaceful manner. 
 Due to persistent persuasion of federation headquarters, finally Pr. CCA, CBEC had directed the CCA to hold meeting with us. But CCA refused to meet the representatives of the All India Associations and  took  the position that she would hold meeting  the Unit representatives.  In the interest of the members, we accepted her pre-condition and the meeting was held on 15th May 2014. After lapse of more than a month, minutes was issued on 24th June 2014.
As none of the major issues discussed in the meeting was resolved by the authorities despite repeatedly meeting and requesting them to settle the items discussed, the extended Federal executive meeting held on 18th July 2014 once again reviewed the situation. The meeting, most reasonably, decided to maintain the congenial atmosphere and urged upon Pr. CCA, CBEC through another resolution to kindly convene a meeting with the representatives of the Association. But he ignored the request of the Federation.
It may be brought to the knowledge of all of you that, earlier Pr. CCAs of CBEC through their relentless efforts had created many new PAOs and also increased the strength of officers and employees. But the present PCCA has taken the detrimental move towards the direction of downsizing and closing down the offices. The Federation headquarters had written a protest letter on 16th September 2014 and sought meeting with him. But he did not respond.
Several employees have requested for transfer to different stations due to genuine grounds. But the authorities of Pr. CCA, CBEC are not ready to consider any such cases. However, they have transferred some of the individuals selectively. The office of the Pr. CCA, CBEC has not paid TA/DA to the persons performed election duty during Delhi State election in 2013 and Loksabha Elections in 2014. For the last seventeen months the DDO of Pr. CCA, CBEC is not deducting and remitting membership subscription to the Association on one plea or the other. Of late, the authorities are not forwarding of the applications for renewal of identity card of the employees including Secretary General to the Ministry of Home Affairs. As such Secretary General is unable to visit the offices and authorities including CGA Office.
The 6th Federal Council meeting of the National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations held on 18th and 19th September 2014 at Cochin took serious note of the adamant and anti-employee approach of the CBEC authorities and decided that all Branches shall hold day long Dharna in front of the CBEC Units incase another attempt of the Federation headquarters for amicable settlement of the problems is not responded. The agitational action shall be further intensified if required.
As per the decision of the 6th  Federal Council meeting of Cochin, another approach was made by the Federation headquarters, and Secretary General vide his letter dated 15th October 2014 requested Pr.CCA, CBEC to meet him informally. But Pr. CCA, CBEC ignored this request too.
Therefore, in pursuance of the decisions of the 6th Federal Council meeting, all Branches of the Country are requested to hold Massive demonstration in front of the PAO, CBEC Units of their respective stations on 12th November 2014.
Following Resolution is to be adopted and forwarded to the Sr. most Officer (CBEC) of the station, the Pr.CCA, CBEC the CGA and other concerned.
With warm greetings,
Sd/-

Secretary General.
