5. Grant of benefit of promotion from Section Officer to Assistant Audit Officer for those promoted between 01.01.2006 to 01.09. 2008
DAI stated that as the post of Section Officer has ceased to exist from 1st January 2006, this demand can not be agreed and hence rejected.
6. Extension of benefits of MACP to Assistant Audit/Accounts Officers
After some discussion it was disclosed that it has been held up.
7. Fill up all vacant posts including Gr D, No matching savings at the cost of Gr B, C & D cadres
DAI informed that ours is the only department where the recruitment in Gr D is still on. It was informed that 2000 dossiers – DEO, Ar/Acctt and AAO - have already been received and their postings are in progress. DAI stated that base level recruitment at Ar/Acctt level would continue but in a staggered manner to avoid promotional bottlenecks in future.
We were also informed that all Accountants General have been instructed to complete the regularisation of daily rated workers without delay.
8. Permit self certification for TA/DA claims
The issue was dropped as order has already been issued. Association recorded its sincere thanks on this.

DAI informed that once recruitments start, the ban on unilateral transfer would be lifted.
11. Earmark 20% of AAO post for seniority cum fitness promotion (supervisor)
