Subject:- Request for justified actions in regulating promotion and transfer of AAOs.
Sir,
            It has been learnt that, in pursuance of the existing policy, your office is not going to post any of the qualified candidates of the AAO (Civil) Examination, 2017 to their respective stations of posting despite existence of vacancies of AAOs in those stations. As such, due to availability of very insignificant number of examination passed candidates, only a few selected AAOs of earlier batches who are waiting for posting to their respective choice stations from outstations shall be transferred.
            Since there are nearly one thousand vacancies of AAOs and the existing employees are not only suffering from the burden of work load but they have also been kept away from their legitimately due benefits, we would like to draw your attention to following suggestion of ours:–
1.     All candidates qualified AAO (Civil) Examination 2017 may be posted to their own/choice stations against existing vacancies of AAO available in such stations. - It would benefit both individuals and department/government as the vacancies of the stations shall be filled up on one side and the government would be free from the liabilities of retransferring them to their choice stations on completion of tenure and paying transfer benefits twice on the other side. 
2.     As the suggestion in 1 above shall end up with discrimination to all AAOs of earlier batches posted and working in the stations out of their choice and the Associations have always been advocating that - “a senior posted at outstation due to non-availability of vacancy at his choice station should be brought back at his choice station vice the junior promoted later on when vacancy arises at the choice station”;  all such AAOs  may be posted back to their choice stations against existing vacancies.
3.     There is a clear cut provision in the Recruitment Rules of JAO/AAO for filling up of 10 percent posts through promotion of Senior Accountants who have completed ten years service in the grade and crossed 53 years of age. Since this process has been discontinued abruptly from 2015 onwards without any valid ground, may be restored immediately.
4.     All unfilled vacancies after taking steps suggested in 1, 2& 3 may kindly be filled up locally by granting promotions as “Acting AAOs” in terms of the provisions envisaged in para 4 of the O.M. No.A.32016/2/ 2010/MF.CGA/Acting AAO/443 dated 21st September 2012 O.M. No.A.32016/2/ 2010/MF.CGA/Acting AAO/733 dated 28th March, 2013 and O.M. No.A.32016/2/2010/ MF.CGA/ Acting AAO/205 dated 30th December 2016 of the CGA to eligible persons till regular AAOs become available. 
        In this connection, we would also like to bring it to your kind information that despite huge vacancies of AAOs, majority of the heads of the Departments of Civil Accounts Organization are not processing the willingness being submitted by the Senior Accountants for years together resulting the offices to suffer without the AAOs and the senior most Senior Accountants despite being eligible for promotion are forced to retire without having a single promotion in their entire service career. There are glaring examples from CBDT, Ministry of Finance, CAPD and many other offices where the willingness were not processed for more than a year.  Not only this, some of the authorities are not processing the willingness of the Senior Accountants at all. Such authorities are CBEC, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare and Ministry of External Affairs etc. Moreover, the CGA Office has devised a rule setting aside the guidelines of the DOP&T that the Senior Accountants retiring within less than three months period shall not be granted even the adhoc promotion while the Principal Accounts Offices and CGA office are delaying the processing of the promotion cases on technical grounds. This problems needs to be resolved immediately.
Further, as per DOPT guidelines in OM No. 28036/8/87-Estt. (D), dated 30th March, 1988-“where the appointing authority is not the Ministries, the authority competent to approve adhoc appointments may be decided by the Administrative Ministries themselves. The competent authority so authorized by the Ministries should be one level higher than the appointing authority prescribed for the post.” Therefore, adhoc appointments can be continued till three years at the level of AAO and CGA is competent to grant approval for continuation of adhoc appointment beyond the period of one year.
            We therefore, request you to kindly consider our above suggestions and take favorable decisions on them as these would serve the interest of both department and employees simultaneously.    
Thanking you,
Yours Sincerely,
(AMOL V SULE)                                                                                                                        (V. BHATTACHARJEE)
