CHARTER OF
DEMANDS
Part I
1. Settle the demands raised by NJCA regarding
modifications of 7th CPC recommendations as submitted in the
memorandum to Cabinet Secretary on 10th December 2015. (See
Annexure-I). Honour the assurance given by the Group of Ministers to NJCA on 30th June
2016 and 6thJuly 2016, especially increase in minimum wage and
fitment factor. Grant revised HRA at the existing percentage itself i.e. 30%,
20% and 10%. Accept the proposal of the staff side regarding Transport
Allowance. Settle all anomalies arising out of implementation of 7th CPC
recommendations, in a time bound manner.
2. Implement option-I recommended by 7th CPC
and accepted by the Government regarding parity in pension of pre-2016
pensioners, without any further delay. Settle the pension related issues raised
by NJCA against item 13 of its memorandum submitted to Cabinet Secretary on 10th December
2015. (See Annexure-I).
3. Scrap
PFRDA Act and New Pension System (NPS) and grant pension and Family Pension to
all Central Government employees recruited after 01.01.2004, under CCS
(Pension) Rules 1972.
4. Treat Gramin Dak Sewaks of Postal
department as Civil Servants, and extend all benefits like pay, pension,
allowances etc. of departmental employees to GDS. Publish GDS Committee report

6. No Downsizing, Privatisation, outsourcing and
contractorisation of Government functions.
7. Withdraw the arbitrary decision of the
Government to enhance the bench mark for performance appraisal for promotion
and financial upgradations under MACP from “GOOD” to VERY GOOD” and also
decision to withhold annual increments in the case of those employees who are
not able to meet the bench march either for MACP or for regular promotion
within the first 20 years of service. Grant MACP pay fixation benefits on
promotional hierarchy and not on pay-matrix hierarchy. Personnel promoted on the
basis of examination should be treated as fresh entrants to the cadre for grant
of MACP.
8. Withdraw the draconian FR 56 (J) and Rule
48 of CCs (Pension) Rules 1972 which is being misused as a short cut as purity
measure to punish and victimize the employees.
9. Fill up all vacant posts including
promotional posts in a time bound manner. Lift ban on creation of posts.
Undertake cadre Review to access the requirement of employees and their cadre
prospects. Modify recruitment rules of Group-‘C’ cadre and make recruitment on
Regional basis.

11. Grant five promotions in the service career
to all Central Govt. employees.

employees and pensioners w.e.f. 01.01.2016.
21. Implementation of the “equal pay for equal
work” judgement of the Supreme Court in all departments of the Central
Government.
Part II
1. The recent instructions issued by the CAG of India with regard to
rationalisation of staff strength is negating the very concept of strengthening
of audit, review there-of is demanded
2. The rationalisation of staff strength preceded by restructuring of
audit offices effected since April 2012 runs against the concept of transparency
and accountability, review there-of is demanded
3. The action of excluding the cadre of Auditor/Accountant and SA from
the list of technical cadres is a deliberate move to degrade the cadre that may
cause grave consequences in future, this may be rectified
4. The personnel in IA& AD are the worst affected with regard to
career advancement and the above mentioned steps only aggravates their
despondency, time bound promotion to all
cadres be ensured
5. Non grant of Gr A status to
SAOs has disappointed the entire cadre, we demand grant of Gr A status to SAO
cadre
6. The non notification of revised recruitment rules for various cadres
and its delay has created frustration amongst the cadres; we demand expediting
of the notification of revised recruitment rules
7. The non implementation of the
7 CPC recommendations to grant GP 5400 to AAOs in IA&AD has cast a gloom
and demoralised the whole cadre of AAOs, early action to grant GP of 5400 (i.e.
placing of AAO at level 9 in the pay matrix) is demanded
8. The refusal to increase
number of chances for SAS examination is disincentive towards career
advancement avenues of the feeder cadre, we demand unlimited number of chances
for SAS examination and removal of negative marks for all exams in IA&AD
9. Refusal to honour the
accepted principles of not applying the educational qualifications specified
for direct recruitment in respect of departmental candidates indicates the negative
approach towards providing promotional avenues to those in the lower cadres; we
demand promotional avenues for all departmental candidates on seniority cum
fitness basis, without riders
10. Treating Dies-Non as disqualification for selection of personnel
for UN Audit etc. be discarded, seniority should the sole criteria for
selection of personnel for UN Audit
11. Right of the employees to register their protest through peaceful
means such as demonstration etc has been denied, it may be restored
12. Departmental canteens’ functions are paralysed due to acute
shortage of man power; this may be addressed by recruiting enough regular hands
13. Field level Audit Parties should be provided with sufficient man
days and reasonable Transit days; remove the practice of providing transit on
closed holidays.
