Sub: Consideration of D.E.Passed MTS to Auditor/Accountant in the 

direct recruitment quota – reg

Madam,

The All India Audit and Accounts Association has collected data that so many field offices are running with huge shortage of staff particularly in Auditor/Accountant cadre. The Association had raised the issue in both formal and informal meeting with the A.C.N.-1, D.G.(S) and A.D.A.I.(S) in the Hd. Qrs. Office that Staff Selection Commission has failed to fulfil the entire vacancy position in the said cadre. As a result, so many vacant posts were kept lying in different field offices and in the other side lower employees are waiting for promotion through examination quota for the last seven/eight years. As a result, the field offices are not in a position to perform best due to shortage of Auditor/Accountant. It is learnt that the local administration communicated the fact to the Hd. Qrs Office like Southern Railway Audit, Chennai, PAG (A&E), W.B. and maximum North East Offices but no solution has arrived by the Hd. Qrs. Office.

In the recent past, Subramaniam Sir, ADAI(S) during his visit at Chennai has assured that he would look into the matter and do his level best in this regard. Considering the situation, the All India Audit and Accounts Association suggests that only solution is to consider the Graduate Departmental Passed MTS employees serially top from the gradation list may be considered as employees under Direct Recruitment Quota. In case any clarification on our proposal is required a meeting may please be arranged with the Association.

Thanking you in anticipating,

                                                                                                                    Yours faithfully,

                                 Kind Attn: Ms. P. Mehta, D. A. I. (H. R.)

                Sub: Introduction of bench mark in the evaluation test of SAO – reg

 Madam,

        I would like to bring your notice that the All India Audit and Accounts Association has  neither received any reply to the Association’s letter bearing no.AIA/B-1/29/2022 dated 10/10/2022 on the above mentioned subject nor the Hd. Qrs. Office discussed the issue with the Staff Side for settlement the issue of prescribing benchmark of 45% in the end of training examination of AAOs for promotion to the post of Sr. A.O.

        The All India Audit and Accounts Association is once again reiterating the earlier stand that it is very unfortunate that the Headquarters’ Office has taken such a unilateral decision by going against its earlier instructions issued vide Training wing Circular 317 dated 19/12/2019 vide which it was clarified that “Performance of the evaluation test will be considered for selection of officers for audit assignments abroad and for future specialised trainings” there by clarifying that passing of evaluation test after mandatory training is not any criteria for promotion Sr. Accounts Officer post for eligible AAO candidates . Based on this change, many eligible candidates of Panel Year 2020 have been promoted as Sr. Accounts officer in many Field offices after clearing of Panel by UPSC.

        In this regard, I would like to bring to your notice that ‘Group A’ status was given to Sr. AOs in 2019 and new Recruitment rules were framed by Headquarters office in November 2019. These rules only mandate 2-4 weeks training. There is no provision for passing of any evaluation test in these newly framed recruitment rules. Earlier also Headquarters Office has issued instructions in December 2019 wherein passing in Evaluation Test after 2-4 training was made mandatory condition for successful completion of training by the eligible candidates who were due to be promoted as Sr. Accounts officers. Eligible candidates represented against this decision but their requests were not accepted by the authorities.

        Left with no other option, some eligible AAO candidates of O/o Accountant General, Punjab, Chandigarh filed Original Application No. OA/1315/2019 on 18/12/2019 in CAT Chandigarh against the Headquarters office instructions for imposing arbitrary condition of passing Evaluation test for successful completion of training for promotion to the post of Sr. A.O. as no such condition was envisaged in the Sr. AO’s recruitment rule 2019. Notice for the same was served to all the respondents on 19/12/2019. On the same date i.e. 19/12/2019 Headquarters’ office circulated circular No 317 dated 19/12/2019 to all the field offices vide email retracting from earlier instructions of making Evaluation test compulsory for successful completion of Training.

    Accountant General Punjab office also issued letters to the Petitioners vide No Admn.I/Misc/AAOs/19-20/4398 dated 07/02/2020 informing them that instructions regarding compulsory passing of Evaluation test has been changed vide Headquarters office circular No 317 dated 19/12/2019 adding that now performance of the evaluation test will only be considered for selection of officers for audit assignments abroad and for future specialised trainings. Headquarters’ office has also submitted through its legal counsel in the CAT Chandigarh that earlier instructions of making passing of Evaluation test mandatory have been withdrawn vide Headquarters’ office circular No 317 dated 19/12/2019. On the basis of these submissions, Original Application No. OA/1315/2019 dated 19/12/2019 against Headquarters’ office was got rendered in- fructuous from the CAT Chandigarh Tribunal by the legal counsel of the CAG office.

        It is humbly submitted that the latest instructions issued by Headquarters office again making passing evaluation test compulsory for successful completion of training by eligible candidates is completely against the submissions made by the Headquarters office in the CAT Chandigarh Tribunal. It is evident that these new instructions will imply that Headquarters’ office had misled the CAT Chandigarh to close the earlier court case against similar instructions by stating that the said instructions for mandatory passing of evaluation examination had been withdrawn. And now after closing of the court case, the same sets of instructions have been re-introduced. Though All India Audit and Accounts Association sincerely believe that this cannot be the intentions of C&AG authorities but these new instructions will send the wrong message to the Hon’ble Court thereby inviting adverse orders from court against CAG authorities and also dishearten and discourage eligible candidates who are awaiting their promotion as Sr. AO from long time.

        As per revised R.R. of the Sr. AO, the feeder cadre of that post is the AAO with some years’ experience. But there was no such provision of any bench mark of the evaluation test. Hence, the Association condemns the decision of the Examination Wing which is not only arbitrary but also humiliating to the entire cadre of AAOs.

        In view of the above, it is requested that you may kindly intervene into the matter personally and issue urgent advice to the Examination Wing to immediately withdraw the present circular and issue revised circular at par with the Training Wing No.317 dated 19/12/2019.

        Thanking you in anticipation,

Yours faithfully,

Tapas Bose

Secretary General

Sub: Non maintenance of regular D. C. Meeting – reg.

Sir, 

        The Staff Side of the I.A. & A.D. had submitted the agenda items for discussion in the    coming Departmental Council Meeting in the I.A. & A.D. vide letter no. B-7/DCM/3/2022 dated 12/12/2022. It is observed by the Members of the Staff Side that even after completion of 5 (five) months the Hd, Qrs. Office is unable to convene the meeting. The Government of India, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pension, Department of Personnel & Training, Establishment (JCA) Section in their O.M.No.4/3/2019-JCA dated 16/01/2020 once again re-iterated that as per JCM Scheme “the meetings of the Departmental Council shall be held as often as necessary, and not less than once in four months”. It is very unfortunate that the Official Side of the Department Council in the I.A. & A.D. is taking very casual approach for non-adherence of the instructions of the said O.M.

      The Staff Side of the Departmental Council is requested to convene the Departmental Council Meeting without further delay as the next meeting is overdue.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Sub: Date Sheet for SAS/RA/CPD Examinations – reg
Ref: No.222/01-Exam/Examinations-1&2/2023 dated 21/04/2023

Madam,

Kindly refer to the circular mentioned above communicating the date of examinations for SAS and other examinations scheduled to be held from 02-05-2023 to 08-05-2023 except 05-05-2023.

The All India Audit and Accounts Association received information that the Centre of the said Examination chosen by the Hd. Qrs Office which is far away from the Hd. Qrs Office, especially in some States like Chennai, Rajasthan and ors. The local Administration has issued a circular that the employees who are appearing the examination should not travel by their own car/ two-wheeler, as there is no parking space. As a result, members of staff will face trouble to reach the examination hall. The Association would like to state that the office administration may provide staff cars to the examinees.

Apart from the above it will be extremely difficult to conduct the examination on 07/05/2023 i.e. Sunday as 2 or 3 States in India where majority people are from Christian Community and they are going to Church in every Sunday positively. Therefore, the examination on 7th May, 2023 may please be rescheduled accordingly. Otherwise, the examination scheduled on 07th May, 2023 may at lease be postponed to a suitable date.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Yours faithfully,

            Sub: Unrest working condition at A.G.(A&E), Punjab office – reg.

Madam,

Enclosed please find a copy of Resolution taken by the field level Association which speaks for itself.

Right now, the working atmosphere in the office of the Accountant General (A&E), Punjab is not in a good condition. By using the power, the Deputy Accountant General (Pension) is neither maintaining the work norms issued by the Hd. Qrs Office nor maintaining the office hours. One circular has been issued under his signature that from the very next day the office hours would be from 9 am to 7 pm instead of 9 am to 5-30 pm, without going through the O. P. Manual. Moreover, the work norms fixed by the Hd. Qrs Office is not maintained.

It is a sad commentary that the toolkit of Office Council Meeting is not using by the administration. The DAG (Pension)’s attitude towards the lower level employees was so rude and furious. He has broken the Employer and Employee relations. During informal meeting with the AAOs, he used to threat that the APARs shall be downgraded. It is also reported that the threatens the employees that he will file FIR (?) against them. It is needless to be mentioned here that the employees are working in the office and not in any corporates/private organisation.

In these circumstances, it is requested to intervene immediately into the matter to overcome the unrest condition and direct to the DAG (Pension) to maintain harmony relations with the employees otherwise be transferred him immediately from that office.

Thanking you in anticipating,

Yours faithfully,

Comrades,

         Special C.L. of 42 days for Kidney Donor- order issued by the DOP&T

We are aware that in the earlier days no such facility was provided for the Kidney Donor. Few months back, the Kerala Unit, especially our former President, V. Sreekumar, raised the issue. Being one of the Standing Committee Member of the NC, JCM, Staff Side, I raised the issue to the DOP&T, through the Secretary, Staff Side. After scrutiny of the case, now DOP&T issued general circular in this regard that the Central Government Employees will get maximum 42 days Special C.L. for voluntary Kidney Donation.

Parity with CSS pay scale from 1/1/1986

After November, 2022 meeting, the Expenditure Wing has asked to the budget wing for exact monetary involvement in this regard. It is learnt that the Budget wing forwarded views to the Expenditure Wing. Now the Expenditure Wing will finalize the case with the Standing Committee Members shortly.

AAO to SAO promotion

Right now, out of 89 units, only 12-14 units have submitted 4 years (Upto 2024) panel to the Hd. Qrs. Office which are under scrutiny. Besides that, one huge panel of Commercial Wing for the panel year of 2020 is not yet cleared by the UPSC. Some employees, they are not our members, sought clarification through RTI to the UPSC. As a result, the file returned back to the C&AG office to clear the queries.

Revised Sanction Strength in different Audit and Accounts Wing

The C&AG has formed few different committees to review the sanctioned strength in different Audit and A&E offices from Sr. A.O. to M.T.S. cadre. It was also instructed to those committee to present the report latest by 30th September, 2022 later on enhanced to 31st October, 2022. Only A&E committee submitted to the report to the Hd. Qrs Office in the month of December, 2022 which is now examining by the Hd. Qrs Office. But no others Audit Committee submitted the report till date. As a result, members of staff are not getting their legitimate promotion. 

Department Of Post withdrawn the recognition of NFPE and AIPEU, Gr-C arbitrarily

It is highly shocking that the recognition of National Federation of Postal Employees (NFPE) and All India Postal Employees Union (Group-C) has been withdrawn by the Postal Administration on the strength of false, fake, fabricated complaint of one unrecognized organization i.e. Bharatiya Postal Employees Federation, affiliated under B.M.S., labour wing of BJP. In the last verification procedure, the said organization managed only 3 – 4% membership throughout the India in Postal Department.

The Confederation of Central Government Employees, Workers and Unions appealed to all constituent organizations and state C-o-Cs to conduct lunch hour demonstrations in from of all big offices of Central Government on 2nd May-2023 declaring BLACK DAY and all employees should BEAR BLACK BADGE for whole day on 2nd May, 2023. A copy of circular issued by the Confederation is enclosed which speaks for itself).

The All-India Audit and Accounts Association, one of the constituent of the Confederation condemned highly undemocratic, illegal, arbitrary action of the Postal Department and stand behind the NFPE and declare all types of help, co-operation and support to NFPE in coming days. Now, it is requested to all field level Association may participate on 2nd May Lunch Hour Meeting either at the call of local C-o-C or in the Office premises where C-o-C is not active.

Remittance of Hd. Qr quota

The 49th Conference of All India Audit and Accounts Association took a decision that Hd. Qr. Quota is increased from Rs.12/- to Rs.20/- per member per month. It is requested to unit leadership to clear the Hd. Qr. Quota upto the month of March, 2023 @ Rs.12/- per member per month immediately.

We are very sorry to inform that the Centenary Year Celebration could not be materialized in April, 2023 due to problems. Within a very short period the Association will organize.
