·
On
the demand of adoption of a mutually agreed transfer policy, no fresh proposal
was received from any of the Branches.
·
The
resolution adopted by the 6th Federal Council meeting in opposition to

side JCM and Confederation of Central Government Employees 7 Workers. In the
recent Secretariat meeting of Confederation, the issue came up for discussion
and it was decided by the said meeting to issue letter to the Cabinet Secretary.
·
The
Sub-committee formed for the purpose of formation of All India level
non-departmental (outsourced) Employees Association in Civil Accounts
Organization could not make satisfactory progress towards its objectives.
However, non-departmental employees’ organization, Kolkata has been
functioning.
·
Since
AICAEA and AICAEA Cat-II have submitted memorandum they would be called for
oral deposition by the 7th CPC. The CPC has decided to invite the
organizations submitted memorandum to the commission. CGA has submitted Memorandum
with the recommendation of total parity of scales between Civil Accounts

Accounts Department.

The
decision of federal Council meeting to demand one seat in National Council (JCM}
and second seat in Departmental Council (JCM) has not yet been taken up by the

far as the demand of grant of recognition to AICAEA & AICAEA Cat-II is
concerned CGA has extended recognition to AICAEA for next five years from
November 2014 onwards.
·
The
activities of Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers were
observed to be totally satisfactory and calls given by the Confederation were
implemented by the NFCAA and its Branches and Units.
After
the review was over, Presidium had directed the AICAEA Cat-II and AICAEA to
make reporting of the decisions taken in their respective National Executive
meetings held on 25th February 2015. Com. Debraj Singha Roy, Addl.
Secretary General, AICAEA Cat-II and Com. Ajit Huparikar, Addl. Secretary
General, AICAEA reported about the decisions taken in the National Executives
meetings of their respective Associations. After the reportings were over fresh
items of agenda were taken up for discussion.
AGENDA NO:- 2 REVIEW OF THE STATUS OF
DEPARTMENTAL DEMANDS
(a)
Mutually agreed Transfer
Policy:-
The meeting observed that the CGA authorities in general is conceding the
request of the Associations on the matter of posting of AAOs and PAOs. They
have undone the persons dislocated by granting promotion under 10% promotional
quota. However, they have not taken any step for adoption of a mutually agreed
transfer policy. The meeting also observed that, the unilateral implementation
of transfer policy has been causing serious adverse affect towards the interests
of the employees. The meeting therefore, passed a resolution opposing the
unilateral implementation of transfer policy and forwarded it to the Controller
General of Accounts.
(b) Opposition to Biometric attendance
system:-
The
meeting appreciated the decision taken by the Confederation. The meeting also
decided that the National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations shall continue
to raise its voice on the demand of acceptance of the points raised by the 6th
Federal Council Meeting of the Federation regarding biometric attendance system.
(c) Demand of regularization of outsourced
Employees:-
It has been
decided by the meeting that, in pursuance of the decisions of 6th
Federal Council meeting, all Branches shall form a committee which shall
interact with the non-departmental Employees and take all necessary steps to
organize them and form Branch level organizations of outsourced employees.
(d) Demand of grant of minimum pay on
promotion:-
The case filed
in Pr. CAT, New Delhi by the AICAEA Cat-II had to be withdrawn on technical
grounds by the Advocate Com. S.K. Vyas. The fresh petition could not be
submitted due to sad demise of Com. Vyas in February 13, 2015.
Since the cost
of filing a fresh case through another Advocate shall be very high, the meeting
directed the Branches to discuss this matter with the affected members i.e.
AAOs, Accountants and LDCs and provide feedback to Federation Headquarters so
that further necessary action in this respect could be taken by the Federation
headquarters early.
AGENDA NO: - 3 MEETING WITH CGA
AUTHORITIES ON THE CHARTER OF DEMANDS SUBMITTED.
As the All India Civil Accounts
Employees Association has already submitted the 25 Point Charter of Demands to
CGA seeking meeting with the National Executive of AICAEA and AICAEA Cat-II, the
federal executive meeting directed Federation headquarters to pursue CGA for
convening the meeting at the earliest. However, if the meeting is not fixed by
the authorities, organizational actions shall be adopted and Federation
Headquarters shall take appropriate action in this respect.
The demand of opposition against
implementation of e-payment was decided to be modified. However, it was also
decided that, since the item has already been referred to CGA, opposition to
implementation of e-payment shall continue till there is a negotiated
settlement. The meeting congratulated the PAO, MH & FW Unit, Kolkata for
implementing the direction of the organization on this issue of effectively.
AGENDA NO: - 4 SECTIONAL DEMANDS
a)
Adamant attitude
of Pr. CCA, CBEC and non-settlement of 20 Point Demands:-
The
meeting reviewed the success of the Dharna staged by the Federal Executive
members on 25th February 2015 in front of the office of the Pr. CCA,
CBEC, AGCR Building, New Delhi. All Federal Executive members who were
available on 25th February 2015 in Delhi had participated in the
Dharna and made it a grand success.
In
order to curb the democratic protest of the employees, the authorities of Pr.
CCA, CBEC had issued illegal orders threatening the employees that they would
be subjected to disciplinary actions for taking part in the programme. Not only
this, the authorities created physical obstruction by using their official
position so that the employees of the office do not reach the Dharna spot.
These undemocratic and autocratic approaches of the authorities of Pr. CCA,
CBEC were condemned by the meeting.
The
method adopted by the Pr. CCA, CBEC to declare the DEOs as surplus was
vehemently protested by the meeting. He has taken the decision of declaring these
members as surplus even without following the laid down procedure and ignoring
the Controller General of Accounts.
The
meeting also reviewed the status of the issues pending with the office of Pr.
CCA, CBEC, his vindictiveness, direct interference of CCA, CBEC in the internal
functioning of the Association, creation of obstruction by her in the routine
functioning of the Association in violation of the conventional procedures and
in defiance of the instructions of CGA.
It
was observed by the meeting that the CCA, CBEC has not been issuing the
departmental identity card to the Secretary General so that he is not able to
visit offices freely and there is interruption in the routine functions of the
Association.
Condemning
above activities of the authorities of Pr. CCA, CBEC the meeting adopted a
Resolution and forwarded it to Finance
Minister, Secretary Department of Expenditure, Secretary, Department of
Revenue, CGA, Secretary, Staff Side (JCM), Secretary General, Confederation and
all others concerned seeking their intervention.
The
meeting also decided that if there is no settlement of the problems, fresh
organizational actions against the Civil Accounts authorities altogether shall
be adopted by the Federation Headquarters.
b)
Pendency of
staff problems in MHA, CBDT, MHFW and I & B etc:-
Relating
to the problems in MHA Units it was decided that a formal meeting with the CCA,
Home shall be sought and the agenda items shall be forwarded to him at the
earliest.
Some
of the problems of ZAOs, CBDT, Shillong and Kolkata being pending, Federation
headquarters was directed takeup those with the authorities concerned. However,
in case more issues from other Branches are received, a formal meeting with the
authorities should be sought by the Federation headquarters.
The
PAO, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare Unit Kolkata has been agitating
for payment of appropriate wages to the outsourced DEOs engaged in the office
and also on the demand of filling up of vacant posts. The unit had resorted to
three days continuous Dharna in January 2015 in support of the demands and
under the auspices of Branches of West Bengal. The meeting hailed the members
of the unit and decided that, in pursuance of the discussion held between the
representatives of NFCAA and CA, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
Federation headquarters shall submit a detailed note to CCA, H&FW and seek
meeting with her.
Few
cases of compassionate appointments referred from PAO, I & B, Lucknow were
pending and the authorities have recently decided to reject those cases. In
view of this the meeting directed the U.P. East Branch to details of the cases
urgently to federation Headquarters so that the Federation headquarters could
takeup the issues with appropriate authorities.
AGENDA ITEM NO:- 5 ORGANIZATIONAL
REVIEW.
a)
Recognition to
AICAEA Cat-II & NFCAA:-
The
meeting observed that the Civil Accounts authorities are not ready to provide a
formal and permanent platform for negotiation and settlement of the problems of
the AAOs by granting recognition to AICAEA Cat-II. They have been postponing
the recognition of the said Association on one plea or the other and this has
caused precipitation of anger among the rank and file membership of the
Association.
The
meeting also observed that such a situation is not prevailing in any other
Accounts and Audit Departments of the Government of India. The Associations of
AAOs in all others departments have
either been granted recognition or allowed to represent them by the Gr-B and C Employees
organizations in which the AAOs were the members originally before
implementation of CCS (RSA) Rules 1993.
In
view of the above, the meeting decided to direct the Branches to consider for raising
the demand of merger of AICAEA and AICAEA Cat-II into a single Association as
was there earlier and send their concrete suggestions for constructing the
demand in a full proof manner.
b)
Enhancement of
Membership and continuation of Foreign Service of Secretary General:-
It
was decided that, Secretary General to continue to be in Foreign Service till
the next All India Conferences are held in Chennai.
The
Branches have been asked by the meeting to report about the steps taken by them
to enhance the membership and remittance of subscription. The Branches have
also been directed to review the list of the defaulting units provided to them
through e-mail and ask such units to clear their arrear dues.
The
meeting also observed that in view of the increase in the cost of living and consequential
increase in the salary packet of the members, it is essential and relevant to enhance
the membership subscription to Rs:- 100/- (one hundred) atleast so that Unit,
Branch, Central Headquarters and Federation headquarters could function
smoothly and Secretary General of the Association could work for the members on
full time basis by remaining in Foreign Service. The meeting therefore decided
to make its recommendation regarding raising the membership subscription to Rs.
100/- per month for consideration of ensuing All India Conferences.
c)Holding of Joint conferences of AICAEA
and AICAEA Cat-II and National Women convention:-
The tentative dates for 14th
