Resolution-II

This Joint delegate session of the delegates of 14^TH All India Conference of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association and 6^th All India Conference of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II being held in Chennai on 17^th July 2015 discussed the issue of non-grant of Recognition to All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II and thereby to the National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations.

1.      The Joint session noted that, prior to 2002, all categories of employees from the grade of AAO to Group-D were the members of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association and the All India Civil Accounts Employees Association was all along a recognized Association. However, in 2002 after completion of membership verification under CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993, the then Civil Accounts authorities conveyed the composite All India Civil Accounts Employees Association that it would be granted recognition under CCS (RSA) if it removes the cadre of JA0/AAO from its membership.

The JAO/AAOs now AAOs had therefore, formed a separate Association in the name of “All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II” in 2003 and submitted all relevant documents required for recognition under CCS (RSA) Rules 1993. It requested authorities to undertake membership verification and thereafter, grant recognition to the Association. The Association also observed all formalities it was asked and obeyed all instructions given to it from time to time.

But it is very unfortunate that, even after more than a decade the Association has not been granted recognition under CCS (RSA), Rules, 1993 on the plea that, it does not represent 35% of the total number of employees which is totally untenable.

Moreover, in spite of repeated requests, the office of the Controller General of Accounts is not issuing instructions to the departmental heads and DDOs to deduct its membership subscription at the enhanced rate it has proposed after deciding for the same in its conferences.

There are nearly two thousand AAOs and among them many are working in remotest corners of the country. The grievances of the employees in the cadre need to be addressed in a regular manner. As the All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II has no recognition, authorities do not interact with the representatives Association officially on the issues of its members.

2.      The joint central working committee meeting of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association and All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II held at Cochin in 2003 decided to hold the Federal council meeting and form the National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations (NFCAA). The newly formed NFCAA requested CGA to grant recognition to the federation in terms of the DOPT OM dated 03-07-2002. But the Controller General of Accounts vide letter dated 29-10-2003 informed the National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations that its recognition shall be considered after its affiliated Associations i.e. All India Conference of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association and All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II are recognized.

3.      This Joint Delegate session observed that the situations discussed above are not prevailing in any of the Accounts and Audit departments of the country. In the Indian Audit Accounts Department, though the employees’ organizations of AAO and rest of the category of employees have been categorized as Category II and Category III respectively and asked to form separate Associations at the lower formations but at the apex level a single joint forum is allowed to represent both categories.

4.      This Joint Delegate session of 14^TH All India Conference of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association and 6^th All India Conference of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II therefore,  resolves to urge upon the Controller General of Accounts to –

a)      Grant Recognition to the All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II and the National Federation of Civil Accounts Associations immediately in terms of the relevant rules of the Government of India.

Or

b)      Re-categorize the employee’s organizations as was there prior to 2002 and allow the AAO and rest of the category of employees to be the members of same Association.

5.      The meeting resolves to forward the Resolution to the Controller General of Accounts, Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure, New Delhi and all others concerned.
