Dear Comrades,

Till we prepare this circular, we have received informations about holding of Lunch Hour Demonstration on 20^th January 2017 by the local COCs of Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Ahmedabad and Jaipur. We congratulate all the members of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association, All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category-II and All India Association of Pay and Accounts Officers (Civil). Our unity has now consolidated and we would definitely achieve our demands.

The new Controller General of Accounts and her office are busy with their office arrangements so far. For the first time in the history of Civil Accounts Organization, the Controller General of Accounts who is holding the highest position of the Organization has decided also to continue with the previous charge of Pr. CCA, CBEC. Not only this, most unprecedentedly, two CCAs of the CBEC have been assigned the additional charges of Joint Controller Generals. Therefore, the status and dignity of the office of Controller General of Accounts stand degraded and it is definitely a matter of disgrace for all the officers and employees of Civil Accounts Organization.

We the Group-B and C officers and Employees are running the Civil Accounts Organization. But even after three weeks of assuming the office, CGA did not arrange even three minutes time to have a courtesy meeting with the employees’ representatives.

It is very clear that 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 Government of India norms and instruction.

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. 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 should be united further and resort to following organizational actions:-

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

        All members of the Co-ordination Committee shall wear Black Badge for the whole day on 23rd  February, 2017. The Text of the Badge is as below.

·         WE DEMAND IMMEDIATE CADRE REVIEW OF GROUP-B AND C OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES AND SETTLEMENT OF TEN OTHER DEMANDS

COORDINATION COMMITTEE  OF CIVIL ACCOUNTS EMPLOYEES AND OFFICERS ASSOCIATIONS

All Coordination Committees shall print the Badges locally and distribute among all members.

2.    23^RD MARCH 2017:- DAY LONG MASS DHARNA AT ALL STATIONS:-

All local Co-ordination Committees shall organize Day Long Mass Dharna in front of the Senior Most officers of the station on 23^rd March, 2017. All National/Federal/Branch/Unit/Executive/Women sub-committee members shall sit for Dharna. The Co-ordination Committee, Delhi shall sit for Dharna in front of the office of CGA.

3.     6^TH APRIL 2017:- HALF DAY WALKOUT FROM WORK SPOT:-

            All Members of Co-ordination Committee shall stage walk out from office on 6^th April 2017 and they shall leave the office for the rest of the day.

We request all national level office Bearers, Branch and unit Secretaries to build up rock like unity and implement the programs. The stations which have not yet formed Coordination Committees are once against requested to from the same immediately.

Dear Comrades,

THIS CIRCULAR BEING THE FIRST CIRCULAR OF THE 2017, WE WISH YOU

ALL A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2017

In order to offer New Year wishes and place the pending issues of the Co-ordination Committee for the perusal of new appointed CGA, this Co-ordination Committee vide its letter dated 2^nd January 2017 requested the CGA to convene a courtesy meeting with the Delhi based representatives of the COC of Civil Accounts Employees and officers Associations at her earliest convenience.

But the new CGA ignored the request of the Co-ordination Committee.

            New Delhi – 110023

Subject: - Implementation of 7 CPC recommendations - disparity in Pay Fixation of the employees of Civil Accounts Organization.

Madam,

            I would like to refer to the subject mentioned above and draw your kind attention to the following few lines:-

1.      As per the routine procedure, the office of the Controller General of Accounts had ordered for upgradation of Accountants as Senior Accountants with effect from 01.04. 2016 who had completed 3 years service on 01.01.2016.

2.      As per the point No. 5 (Drawl of Pay in the revised pay structure) para 3 of the Part .II Sec – 3 (1) of Extraordinary Gazette of the Government of India-

“……….in cases where a Government servant has been placed in a higher grade pay or scale between 1^st Day of January 2016 and the date of notification of these rules on account of promotion or upgradation, the Government servant may elect to switch over to the revised pay structure from the date of such promotion or upgradation, as the case may be.”

3.      According to the clarifications given by the Implementation Cell, Department of Expenditure vide OM. No. 1-16/2016-IC (Pt) dated 29^th September, 2016, the employees are allowed to opt for their pay fixation from the date promotion/financial up-gradation under MACPS between the period of 01.01.2016 and date of notification of CCS (RP) Rules 2016.

            In terms of the Gazette notification and orders of Government of India indicated in Sl. No. 2 & 3 above, the Accountants who were upgraded as Senior Accountant on 01.04.2016 had opted for fixation of their revised pay( after implementation of 7CPC Recommendations) from the date of their upgradation instead of  from 01-01-2016.

            But, it has been brought to our notice by our Branches and Units that, while some of the Civil Accounts authorities have accepted the options and allowed the afore mentioned categories of Senior Accountants to get their pay fixation benefit of revised pay with effect from the dates of their upgradations, some are not allowing the said benefit to their employees.

            Since this has created an anomalous situation, we request to kindly issue an order in conformity with the contention of the above referred Gazette Notification and clarification issued by the Implementation Cell so that pay fixation cases are done uniformly by all authorities of Civil Accounts Organization and there is no disparity.

            This Association will be highly thankful if an early favourable action is taken in this regard. 

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,

 (V.Bhattacharjee)

Secretary General
