Dear Comrades,
XXVIII Ordinary meeting of the Departmental Council was
held today. (The last meeting was held on 26th August 2006).
A brief of the
discussion/decision is given below.
Ms Ajanta Dayalan, DAI & Chairperson, presided.
1.
Implementation of Scheme of Joint Consultative
Machinery & Compulsory Arbitration
(JCM & CA) on the basis of the Scheme and Constitution of JCM & CA and
the joint intent.
Chairperson
said that the Department is all for smooth and effective functioning of the Scheme
of JCM. As regards changes unilaterally effected to the Constitution of
Departmental Council, DAI said that constitution will have to be in conformity
with the model Constitution circulated by DOPT.
It
was agreed that the staff side would submit a detailed note in this regard.
2.
Implementation
of CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993 in its true format and as per the OMs issued by the
nodal ministry.
There was no unanimity amongst staff side as
three members – who did not attend the staff side meeting held in the forenoon
session – objected to departmental level, unitary Associations.
Chairperson desired that staff side come with a
uniform approach. But it was assured that the practical difficulties in the
present system, if any, would be addressed. It was also stated by Chairperson
that the present system has somewhat stabilised, changing it would unsettle it.
It was agreed to discuss it further.
3.
Implementation
of the standing orders on the functional facility to recognised Associations as
per decisions taken in the meetings of National Council, JCM.
It
was agreed that specific cases where the facilities are denied would be
discussed separately for resolution.
4.
Revision
of sanctioned strength of P&T Audit offices
5. Sanction adequate posts so as to
discharge mandate under the
Constitution and DPC Act
Items for 4 & 5 were taken up
together.
It
was reported by Chairperson that the process of filling up of vacancies are on
progress and it would take time for the results to be visible as the vacancy
position is quite high. So far, during the last 4-5 years, 20000 dossiers were
received from SSC of which nearly 12000 have reported.
It
was assured that there would be no ‘matching saving’ at the cost of base level
cadres.
6. Reduction in the percentage of marks to 40% for passing
the SAS and incentive/RA examination.
It
was informed that further reduction in passing percentage in SAS/RA/incentive
exams is not possible.
Staff side raised
the issue of granting unlimited chances for SAS exam. Chairperson desired a
detailed note from staff side on this (as this did not form the part of agenda)
which would be sympathetically considered.
Staff
Side agreed to submit a detailed note on the number of chances for SAS exam.
7. Change of name of DA grade Exam into Works
Accounts Service
Chairperson informed that the demand is not agreed
to.
8. Revisit the decision
to close down various Resident Audit Offices/Parties (RAO/RAP)
It was agreed that Staff Side would pursue the
matter, first, with the concerned wing.
9. Revision of TA/DA rates, treating “on tour”
for cultural and sports activities’ participants
Staff
side appreciated the fact that necessary order in this regard has already been
issued but pointed out that the facility is not extended to participants in the
cultural events.
It
was agreed to examine this demand.
10. Extend equal promotional avenues to
Stenographers of the same station
Chairperson agreed that
it is a genuine grievance but agreeing to it would lead to opening up of many such
demands from similarly placed common cadres.
The demand was not agreed
to.
11. Restoration of scheme
of unilateral transfer
Chairperson informed that
in the given context opening up of unilateral transfer cannot be considered.
On the request of Leader
and Secretary, Staff side it was agreed to consider the application for
unilateral transfer in respect of handicapped persons as a special case.
12. De-merge Record
Keeper post from MTS and Strengthen Record Management Scheme as per provisions
of MIR
Not
agreed to.
Staff
side presented the functional ignominy faced by the erstwhile Record Keepers.
Chairperson desired that Staff Side may submit a separate note on this which
would be sympathetically considered.
13.
Deputation of DAs to State Govt/Corporation Authorities
No agreed to.
On finalisation of minutes of the XXVIII Ordinary
meeting (which would take sometime), the same would be placed in our blog.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally

CIRCULAR - 31/2015
ALL INDIA
15/1089-90, VASUNDHARA, VASUNDHARA
(P.O.), Dt. GHAZIABAD

Reference: AIA/Circular-31/2015 Dated: 26th December 2015
To
Unit Secretaries,
Members & Spl. Invitees – NE &
Members of Women’s Committee
Dear Comrades,
DOPT i.e.,
THE GOVT, DOES IT AGAIN
This is first time
that we have seen the DOPT (Deptt of Personnel & Training) or for that
matter the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions has acted
with such alacrity! It has issued order changing the nomenclature of Assistant,
UDC and LDC in the Central Secretariat Clerical Service to Assistant Section
Officer (ASO), Senior Secretariat Assistant (SSA) and Junior Secretariat
Assistant (JSA).
We had been demanding
with our department to upgrade the cadre of LDC to Audit/Accounts Assistant,
merging the DEO cadre with it, enabling all – the DEO and Audit/Accounts
Assistant - getting promotion as Auditor/Accountant. No way, our departmental
authorities would not act upon it – but sent it to 7 CPC and 7 CPC during oral
deposition told us that it is not a matter for pay commission to decide.
The 7 CPC, in its
report vide Para 7.1.4.j made a detailed statement on how the CSS
Assistant always got away with a better pay scale than what was recommended by
successive pay commissions since 4th CPC and recommended – quoting 6
CPC - that parity should be total upto the level of Assistant and recommended
GP of 4200 in PB2 for Assistant in CSS and field offices (the same pay scale
recommended for SA of IA&AD and Organised Accounts).
The present order
dated 21st December 2015 –just a month after the report of the 7 CPC
was submitted – is to circumvent the recommendations of the 7 CPC and to deny
parity for field offices and organisations like IA&AD and Organised
Accounts with Central Secretariat Clerical Service. It is nothing but total
contempt for the 7 CPC by the Government itself.
This order has made
one thing clear – DOPT is meant only for Central Secretariat cadres and not for
other government employees. Better to rename it as DOPT for CSS!
Anything that any
other segment of employees ask for – however genuine it might be – the DOPT
would say a big NO. It is there only to deny us our dues and rights.
We have, through a
letter demanded that CAG of India assert his position as Constitutional
Authority and ensure justice to personnel of IA&AD - as per the demands
raised by CAG of India before the 7 CPC. Departmental authorities have all
along played subservient to DOPT, causing irreparable damage to the personnel
of IA&AD. It is time to assert.
IMPEMENTATION
OF DEMANDS DAY ON 15TH DECEMBER 2015
Reports received so
far indicate that good number of units has implemented the programme – here and
there the date has been changed due to some local conditions. There are few
units that have not sent the reports.
As reported in
Circular 29, we would be meeting in the extended meeting of the National
Executive Committee on 9th and 10th January 2016 at Hyderabad
NJCA
CALL FOR DEMONSTRATION AND DHARNA
NJCA circular dated 21st
December 2015 is enclosed. As stated in our Circular 30, the calls for holding
demonstration on 30th December 2015 and three day dharna on19-20-21
January 2016 are re-iterated. (Those units that did not hold the demonstration
on 23trd Dec may hold it on 30th December 2015).
The Circular further
states the intention to commence the indefinite strike in the first week of
March 2016. All Units are requested start the campaigns in the right earnest.
Unit visit by the
leadership would commence in the 2nd week of January 2016,
immediately after the extended NE meeting on 9-10 January 2016.
OA
4465/2014 & OA 847/2015
Many are enquiring
about the status of the cases that we have filed at CAT, Pr Bench, New Delhi
It is true that the messing up of
the case by National Audit Federation leading to its dismissal by the Principal
Bench of CAT, New Delhi would definitely be used by the govt against us. We all
remember what an irreparable damage the case they filed on Pay Parity has
caused.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally
