NATIONAL CONVENTION ON MEMORANDUM TO VII CPC
19th July 2014 at Azad Bhawan, ITO,
New Delhi
DECLARATION
The representatives of All India Audit & Accounts Association, All
India Civil Accounts Employees Association, All India Postal Accounts Employees
Association, All India Defence Accounts
Employees
Association, Kolkata, All India Accounts & Audit Officers Association, All
India Association of Pay & Accounts Officers (Civil), All India Civil
Accounts Employees Association, Category-II, All India Federation of Divisional
Accounts Officers and Divisional Accountants Associations met in the National Convention on 19th July
2014 at Azad Bhawan at New Delhi.
The Convention endorses
the Memorandum submitted by the Staff Side, National Council, JCM as also the
memorandum submitted by the Confederation of Central Government Employees &
Workers, New Delhi with regard to common cadres such as MTS etc.
The Convention
considering the status, duties and functions of IA&AD and organised
Accounts Organisations such as Civil Accounts, Postal Accounts, Defence
Accounts and Railway Accounts under Government of India unanimously resolve to
raise the demand for a pay structure befitting its stature and duties to various
Audit and Accounts Cadres with the VII CPC.
The Convention, therefore, decide to submit our proposals for pay
structure for Audit & Accounts Cadres and hope that the VII CPC will
consider our submissions on total parity with CSS cadres on merit, duties and
responsibilities and the accepted principles and the recommendations of the 4th
and 6th CPC.
The Convention further
decides that for the following grounds different cadres in IA&AD and
Organised Accounts be given a better treatment by 7th CPC.
The Accounting and Auditing
Departments are not administrative offices and in these departments, all items
of work are of technical nature. Like administrative offices there is no method
of receiving Dak/letters and dispatch of those in the Accounts Organization or
in any other departments of Accounts and Audit.
The LDCs in the Accounts and Audit Departments are discharging technical
responsibilities and performing the duties of Accounts Assistants. Therefore,
the cadre LDC in the Audit and Accounting formations should be upgraded as
Accounts/Audit Assistants.
The Auditor/Accountant –
more than 67 % Graduates - have to pass a departmental Confirmatory examination
on completion of 1 year failing which he/she is liable to be demoted and appointed
as fresh LDC. They are promoted as SA on completion of 3 years as
Auditor/Accountant and after passing a Departmental Confirmatory examination.
This definitely put the SA above the Assistant in CSS. Hence the convention
proposes for same pay for SA Gr I and Assistants of CSS and higher pay for SA
Gr II.
The
Assistant Audit/Accounts Officer in IA&AD & Organised Accounts has an
element of direct recruitment where as the Section Officer of CSS is a promotee
from Assistant – 50% through seniority and 50% through LDCE. The
Auditor/Accountant or SA has to negotiate one of the toughest departmental
examinations (SAS Examination) to become AAO. The AAO in IA &A D &
Organised Accounts is thus above the SO of the CSS while it is treated as
inferior. Minimum what is expected is grant of same pay with SO of CCS at
maximum while a higher pay at entry level.
This Convention therefore
decides to demand the following pay restructure for Audit & Accounts cadres
with the VII CPC.
