Dear
Comrades,
UNITE AND RESIST THE ATTACK LAUNCHED BY PR.CCA, CBEC ON CIVIL
ACCOUNTS EMPLOYEES: HOLD DAY LONG DHARNA IN FRONT OF PAOS OF CBEC ON 11TH
FEBRUARY 2015
The Principal CCA, CBEC, New Delhi
vide order No:- Admn/1 (17) 9/DEO/2014-15/1427 dated 22.01.2015 has decided to declare the DEOs as surplus who
had been appointed by downgrading the posts
of Accountants and working in CBEC set up for last three decades.
Immediately after learning about
the naked attack of Pr. CCA, CBEC the members were up in arms and spontaneous
demonstrations were held in front of the offices of the CBEC including the
office of the Pr.CCA, CBEC, New Delhi from 27th January onwards.
Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Madurai and Mumbai reacted very fast. We therefore,
congratulate members of all these stations for their instantaneous reactions.
It is pure irony that some
76(65-66 working) DEOs are to be declared surplus and the methodology adopted by
the Pr.CCA, CBEC in handling such a sensitive issue is totally vindictive and
retrograde.
CGA is the head of the Civil
Accounts Organization. Recruitment Rules for all cadres are being prepared and
published by the CGA. All Policy matters of the Civil Accounts Organization are
also decided by the CGA. Like any other cadre, the common set of Recruitment
Rules for all the 3 electronic data processing cadres such as
Data Entry Operator Grade–A, Grade–B and Computer Operators working in
Civil Accounts setup of CBEC and Central Pension Accounting office has been
prescribed by the CGA. Though no DEO has so far been granted promotion
physically, but it is the procedure that the promotions of Group-C Employees
from the level of MTS are being regulated by the CGA through maintenance of
common seniority list for the purpose of promotion. Obviously, the DEOs being Civil Accounts
Employees also fall under the perview of same procedure. Moreover, it is clearly evident from the provisions
laid down in the Recruitment Rules for the cadre of DEO and Computer Operator
that no decision for regulating the cadre can unilaterally be taken by any head
of the Department of Civil Accounts Organization ignoring the CGA. But the Pr.
CCA, CBEC being adamant and egoistic in his approach, did not bother to take
CGA into confidence before taking the decision of snatching away the lively
hood of the 65/66 very elderly employees who have sacrificed their entire
career in serving the department.
Apart from
the above, there is a clear cut instruction from the Department of Personnel
and Training that, whenever there is a scheme/proposal for introduction of new
technology in a Ministry/Department, the staff side in the concerned
departmental council should be consulted before taking a final decision in the matter.
But before introduction of “the compulsory e-challan scheme from 01.10.2014 in
CBEC on the work relating to posting of physical challans” no discussion was
held in the Departmental Council (JCM), Ministry of Finance and implementation
this scheme has reduced the work in the organization drastically.
There are hundreds of vacancies in Group–C
level and the Staff Selection Commission being not able to sponsor sufficient
candidates for different posts, the CBEC authorities in the recent past have
accommodated several Date Entry Operators from the surplus cell as Accountants.
Moreover, the works relating to feeding of Challans are still there. This fact
can very well be verified with the MIS Report of the Units in CBEC. Physical
entry of challan is also not totally abolished nor the other works related to
the Revenue Accounting of the CBEC. In Mumbai there are total 7 DEOs.
At present the office receives more than 6000 challans in PAO, Central Excise
ll and 10000 in Customs. This work is done by out sourced staff. After
restructuring in CBEC there are 18 Commissionerates and 64 DDOs in Mumbai alone
(and in general, nearly 13000 posts were created in CBEC due to
reorganization). They receive around 16000 to 18000 vouchers with turnover of
more than Rs 3500 crores alongwith Refunds & Rebates. The DEOs also require
doing correspondence with all the DDO'S and banks relating to refund and
rebate works which are to be done normally by the Accountants.
On
the other hand there are several instances where the DEOs have been assigned
the work of Accountant and Senior Accountant due to shortage of Accountant /
Sr. Accountant and they are discharging their duties efficiently for years
together. In fact 76 posts of
Accounts are going to be abolished from the Civil Accounts Organisation only
due to the whims and fancies of the particular organization.
On 2nd February, a
delegation comprising Com. A.K.Mehta, President, AICAEA CAT II, Com. V.
Bhattacharjee, Secretary General, Com. N.K.Sharma, Finance Secretary, AICAEA
and Com. Ravinder Kumar, Secretary, NFCAA called on CGA and explained him the
situation as the Pr. CCA, CBEC deliberately kept CGA uninformed. In course of
the discussion, CGA asked the Delegation to forward the copy of the orders of
Pr.CCA, CBEC alongwith the views of the Associations. The adamancy and refusal
of CCA, CBEC to renew the identity card/ open pass of Secretary General was
also discussed with the CGA and he informed that his officers have already
requested CCA verbally as well as in writing to issue pass to Secretary
General.
As per the desire of CGA the All
India Civil Accounts Employees Association has issued a letter to on 4th
February 2015 CGA requesting him to:-
1.
Direct the
authorities of Pr. CCA, CBEC to withdraw orders forthwith.
2.
Discuss the
matter with us so that the all DEOs are adjusted in the place of their present
posting against the vacant posts of the cadre of Accountant/Sr. Accountants
with proper weightage of the length of service they have rendered.
Dear Comrades,
In the history of 40 years of existence, Civil
Accounts Employees never faced the attack from the authorities in this form. It
is the extreme form of attack. No doubt
attention of CGA could be invited by us immediately by organizing immediate
movement, but it is not sufficient. Before the Pr. CCA, CBEC could become
successful in causing any damage to any one of us we should expose him by organizing
sustained struggle.
It has therefore been decided
that all Branches shall hold Day Long Dharna in front of the PAOs CBEC Units on
11th February 2015 demanding:-
a)
Withdrawal of OM.
No: - Admn/1 (17) 9/DEO/2014-15/1427 dated
22.01.2015.
b)
Settlement of 20 pending
demands.
c)
Stop creating
hindrance and interference to the routine functions of the Associations.
The Dharna should
commence from 11 A.M. and continue organizations and COCs may be invited to
offer their solidarity and report. A Resolution may be adopted and forwarded to
the authorities concerned from the lunch hour meeting. The Draft of the
resolution being shall be sent separately.
With warm greetings,

Subject: - Unilateral move to render the DEOs
as surplus by the Pr. CCA, CBEC, New Delhi.
Sir,
With reference to
our discussion with your goodself in your chamber on 2nd February
2015, I would like to bring it to your kind information that the Pr. CCA, CBEC,
New Delhi vide order No:- Admn/1 (17) 9/DEO/2014-15/1427 dated 22.01.2015 has
unilaterally decided to declare the DEOs as surplus who had been appointed by
downgrading the existing vacancies of Accountants in the respective Offices, in
order to accommodate the organizational needs of the CBEC and had been working
in CBEC set up for last three decades, now considered as surplus again and decided
to surrender them to surplus cell for their redeployment. The copy of the order
of the office of Pr. CCA, CBEC is enclosed herewith for your kind reference.
It is pure irony
that some 76(65-66 working) DEOs are to be declared surplus particularly in the
attached offices of the Department of Revenue . Further we are at loss to
understand the methodology being adopted at the Pr.CCA /CBEC while handling
such a sensitive and important issue.
CGA being the
head of the Civil Accounts Organization, Recruitment Rules for all cadres are
being prepared and published by the CGA. All Policy matters of the Civil
Accounts Organization are also decided by the Controller General of Accounts.
Like any other cadre, the common set of Recruitment Rules for all the 3
electronic data processing cadres such
as Data Entry Operator Grade–A, Grade–B
and Computer Operators working in Civil Accounts setup of CBEC and Central
Pension Accounting office has been prescribed by the Controller General of
Accounts. Though no DEO has so far been granted promotion physically, but it is
the procedure that the promotions of Group-C Employees from the level of MTS
are being regulated by the Controller General of Accounts through maintenance
of common seniority list for the purpose of promotion. Obviously, the DEOs being Civil Accounts
Employees also fall under the perview of same procedure. Moreover, it is clearly evident from the provisions
laid down in the Recruitment Rules for the cadre of DEO and Computer Operator
that no decision regulating the cadre can be unilaterally be taken by any head
of the Department of Civil Accounts Organization ignoring the Controller
General of Accounts.
Apart from the above, in the
Department of Personnel and Training, Government of India, OM No: - 3/42/87 JCA
dated 25th January 1988, it has a been very clearly stipulated that–
“Whenever there
is a scheme/proposal for introduction of new technology in a
Ministry/Department, the staff side in the concerned departmental council may
please be consulted before taking a final decision in the matter”.
The All India
Civil Accounts Employees Association is a member of the Department council
(JCM), Ministry of Finance. But before introduction of “the compulsory
e-challan scheme from 01.10.2014 in CBEC on the work relating to posting of
physical challans” no discussion was held in the Departmental Council (JCM),
Ministry of Finance.
We would also
like to bring it to your kind information that, there are hundreds of vacancies
in Group–C level of Civil Accounts Organization and the Staff Selection
Commission being not able to sponsor sufficient candidates for different posts,
the CBEC authorities in the recent past have accommodated several Date Entry Operators
from the surplus cell as Accountants.

easily find out that physical entry of challan is not totally abolished nor the

There are several instances where the DEOs have been assigned
the work of Accountant and Senior Accountant due to shortage of Accountant /
Sr. Accountant and they are discharging their duties efficiently for years
together.
From the above
discussed facts it is very clear that the OM date 22.01.2015 issued by the
authorities of CBEC is not in conformity with the rules and procedures and
their approach is totally against the interest of civil Accounts Organization
and it is also to be understood that they are quite contrary to the rules and
procedures laid down by the CGA and the instructions of the Ministry as
illustrated above.
It is to be noted
here that apart from the above, nearly 76 posts of Accounts are going to be
abolished from the Civil Accounts Organisation, for no fault of the Civil Accounts
organizational set up but only due to the whims and fancies of the particular
organisation. Of course everyone who
has got organizational interest in his mind would never accept/agree for the
abolition of such posts, since we all know how hard it is to get sanction from
the Ministry for creation of some posts, even after providing ample
justification for the same. So every prudent organisation would like to keep
the posts already available with them by utilizing it for some other meaningful
purposes.
We therefore,
seek your kind intervention in the matter and request you the following:-
1.
Direct the authorities of Pr. CCA, CBEC to
withdraw orders forthwith.
2.
Kindly discuss the matter with us so that the
all DEOs are adjusted in the place of their present posting against the vacant
posts of the cadre of Accountant/Sr. Accountants with proper weightage of the
length of service they have rendered.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,

discussion was held in the Departmental Council (JCM), Ministry of Finance.
We would also like to bring it to

From the above discussed facts it is
very clear that the OM dated 22.01.2015 issued by your office is not in
conformity with the rules and procedures laid down by the CGA and the
instructions of the Ministry as illustrated above.
In fact, your office has basically decided to
abolish 76 posts of Accountants by rendering the persons manning those posts in
the name of Data Entry operators as surplus. Since the move is totally against
the interest of the Civil Accounts Organisation, we request you to withdraw the
OM dated 22.01.2015 and discuss the matter with us so that the all DEOs are
adjusted in the place of their present posting against the vacant posts of the
cadre of Accountant/Sr. Accountants with proper weightage of the length of
