Madam,

            The members of this Co-ordination Committee was surprised to note from the Circular No. A.32016/1/2015/MFCGA/AAO/Deputation/217 dated 27.01.2017  of your office published in the Employment News (February 11^th to 19^th 2017) that the office of CGA has decided to fill up 643 vacant posts of AAOs at 111 (one hundred  and eleven) stations of the country on deputation basis for next three years from among the staff working in organized Accounts Services of Central/State Government/PSUs ignoring the fact that, more than a hundred AAO (Civil) Examination qualified candidates and hundreds of Accountants/Sr. Accounts eligible for promotion as AAOs in terms of the existing Recruitment Rules have been awaiting for their promotion since 2013.

            This Co-ordination Committee is also surprised to observe that, despite its repeated requests and direction of DOPT through its D.O.  letter No. 1.11019/16/2016-CRD dated 20^th December, 2016 to undertake the cadre Review of Group-B/C/erstwhile “D” services immediately in consultation with Department of Expenditure and as per guidelines contained in DOPTs OM No. 2/1/1987 dated 23.11.1987 and provide the status report to DOPT within 31^st March, 2017, the office of the CGA has not initiated any action in this regard.

            Further, apart from not settling the other ten demands of the Coordination Committee, the office of CGA has not extended re-recognized status to All India Association of Pay Accounts Office (Civil) and granted recognition to All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Cat-II despite fulfilling all conditions of CCS (RSA), Rules 1993 by these two Associations.

            Since the decision of filling up of vacant posts of AAOs on deputation basis is detrimental to the interests of totality of the Civil Accounts Employees and Officers; non-implementation of Cadre Review for Gr. B&C Cadres for last forty years is causing serious damage to the officers and employees and not according  re-recognition and recognition to the eligible officers and employees Associations has been creating serious impediments in processing the grievances of the members of the concerned Associations, we have been directed to meet you immediately and place the grievances of the members of this Co-ordination Committee for your perusal.

            Therefore, the Co-ordination Committee has decided that the representatives of the co-ordination Committee shall meet you personally on 17^th February, 2017 at about 12 noon. We request you to kindly make it convenient to meet our representatives on the proposed date and time.

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,

  Subject: ACP/MACP Scheme- Treatment of promotion to the Grade of A.A.O. as entry Grade.

Madam,

               Respectfully I am to draw your kind attention to Association’s letter bearing numbers AICAEA/CTII/CHQ/2016/44 dated 27.06.2016 and of even no. 47 dated 28.09.2016.

You are aware that as per recommendations of 7^th CPC, the merged and only Grade of AAO (Group B Gazetted) is provide with Level -8 and thereafter Level 9 after 4 years of service as AAO. Therefore, the AAOs are left with no real interest to strive further for career prospects. The promotion to the grade of PAO from AAO takes nearly 18-20 years of service as AAO. As AAO has already earned the pay level of PAO (Level 9) the promotion to the grade of PAO does not extend any actual financial benefits. There is serious resentment amongst the AAOs over the matter. The CGA’s Office sharing the same feelings is exploring avenues for finding solution.    

 2. Similar problem in the IA&AD has been solved under the provision of relevant Recruitment Rules. The SAS qualified departmental Staff on promotion to the post of Asst. Audit Officer is given the equal treatment as Direct Appointment i.e. entry Grade for the purpose of extending benefits under ACP/MACP Scheme. In the Civil Accounts Organization the corresponding provision of Recruitment Rules for AAOs is similar and equal.

3. The said issue was also raised in a meeting with Jt. CGA on 15.11.2016 as point no.6 and the same has been included in the minutes issued by CGA Office with comments that the Association will provide requisite details.

As desired, I am sending herewith copies of circular bearing number 23/staff wing/2016/Entt/184-2014 dated 20.06.2016  issued by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India together with the clarifications as in OM bearing no.38-staff wing /2016 no.62-Staff wing/2016  no.62-staff(Entt)-1 /184-2014 dt 19.10.2016 for your kind perusal .

As directed by the Executive Committee of the Association, I am to request you to kindly review the issue in the analogy of action taken by the Comptroller & Auditor General of India considering the historical parity that exist in all matters between the staff of the IA&AD and the Civil Accounts.

With regards,

Encl. As stated

                                                                                                                      Yours faithfully,

                                                                                                                        (DEBRAJ SINGHA ROY)

CONTROLLER GENERAL OF ACCOUNTS.

WE APPEAL ALL OF YOU TO

PARTICIPATE AND MAKE THE PROGRAMES

TOTALLY SUCCESSFUL

Dear Comrades and friends,

The Civil Accounts Authorities are not ready to do anything in favour of Group-B and C employees. The cadre review of the ICAS Cadres had been done five times after the formation of Civil Accounts Organization. But, no cadre review of Group-B and C Officers and employees was ever done. The 5^th Cadre Review of the ICAS Cadres was done by the Civil Accounts authorities violating the DOPT Orders and instructions.

If the Cadre Review is not done, there would not be any future prospect for the Group-B and C Officers and employees of Civil Accounts Organization. Though the Government has given clear instructions in this regard, but the adamant authorities of Civil Accounts are not ready to do anything.

Further, despite fulfilling all conditions of CCA (RSA), Rules 1993, Civil Accounts authorities are not granting re-recognition to All India Association of Pay and Accounts Officers (Civil) and recognition to All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category-II. Civil Accounts authorities have totally closed down the promotional prospects of all Group-B and C Cadres. The system of departmental examination has been stalled. Even the departmental and particularly AAO (Civil) examination qualified persons have not been given the benefit of promotion from 2013 onwards. The benefits extended to the AAO and MTS working in other organized Accounts and IA & AD are not being extended to the same categories of employees of Civil Accounts Organization. Despite specific recommendations of 7CPC to grant higher pay to AAOs and Sr. Accountants the Civil Accounts authorities has not taken any action. Instead while doing the Cadre Review of ICAS officers; the Civil Accounts authorities have spoiled the promotion prospects of AO/Sr.AO.

Therefore, the Co-ordination Committee has decided that, the Group-B offices and C Employees would be unitedly resort to following organizational actions:-

1.      23^RD FEBRUARY, 2017:- BLACK BADGE WEARING:-

        All members are to wear Black Badge for the whole day. Badge for you is given herewith.
