Dear
Comrades,
Following
issues were taken up with CAG administration, the latest position is given
below.
1.
Grant of 5400 to AAOS as NFU on completion of 4 years
The file has now moved from
Implementation Cell (IC) to Deptt of Expr, very recently. Hope it would be
cleared soon.
2.
RR for SA
The file has gone to UPSC for
vetting and approval – SA being a Gr B post. No time limit can be said, as UPSC
takes its own time and no intervention is entertained.
But the Government has, of late,
created one more layer for final approval – i.e. it will have to be approved by
MOS (Minister of State)/DOPT before the rule can be notified. The process is
getting embroiled in more and more technicalities.
3.
Promotion of DEO as Auditor/Accountant
This is very much linked to revised
RR of Auditor/Accountant as well as of SA.
As of now, there is no privision for
promotion of DEO except in the EDP hierarchy. This is the case elsewhere for
EDP cadres. We are able to convince the CAG administration to bring it along
with the main stream cadres. The appointment letter to DEO also says that they
can either get promotion as Console operator (which is in the hierarchy of EDP
cadres) or become AAO after passing SAS exam.
It is a fact that there is lot
heartburning amongst the DEOs as Graduate MTS has already been promoted as
Auditor/Accountant. We share and empathize with them. But every one of us
should appreciate that Government functions on certain norms and rules. MTS
(earlier GR D) is in the line of promotional channel where as DEO, an EDP cadre,
is not. Our effort is to get the rule amended so that DEOs are integrated with
mainstream cadres.
We are hopeful that, even if it
takes some more time, the DEOs would be integrated with other cadres and the
channel of promotion as Auditor/Accountant would be opened up in the near
future.
4.
Harassment of Office-bearers in MAB-I Mumbai
We have been bringing into the
notice of the administration of the high handed actions of the administration
of MAB-I Mumbai. The threats employed by the DDA/Admn and Secretary to PDCA
asking the members to withdraw the membership was pointed out, stating that if
the administration does not intervene at highest level and do not bring about
any improvement, we shall not be responsible for any situation that may arise
herein-after.
5.
Shortage of staff in Departmental Canteens
We brought out the difficulties with
specific reference to the DGACR, Delhi where only three regular staff – one
Manager, one Dy. Manager and one Bearer – are left over and the functioning of
the canteen is adversely affected. This is the situation in many offices.
We are told that the RR for Canteen
is in the final stage and recruitment can commence only after its notification.
6.
Restructuring in Audit
We expressed our reservation over
the manner in which this has been done - especially the restructuring in
peace-meal, instead of restructuring of IA&AD as a whole.
As is clear from the official
notification in this regard – not shared with staff side – the administration
is bringing back the report of Deloitte’ group with some modification.
It was reported that they are
working out on A&E wing also, it takes time as it is directly linked with
the digitalization of accounts by the State Governments.
We also communicated our
reservations on the restructuring in Audit, which we would be submitting
formally shortly.
Comrades
Subhash Pandey, Leader, Staff Side, Departmental Council and Com Anilkumar,
Additional Secretary General were present during the discussion.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally

Secretary
General
