Members of Women's Committee

 

Dear Comrades,

 

            The 46^th Conference of the Association held at Guwahati identified some pressing issues that have to be addressed urgently. The National Executive Committee that met at the sidelines of the Conference of Confederation decided that the issues need detailed discussion in a wider forum and hence decided to convene a meeting of the CWC.  All the Units may, in the meantime, take enabling decision on the participation in the CWC meeting and identify issues to be discussed and decided upon.

            During the discussion on the Report and the organisational matters, many a proposals had come up, including on how to overcome the financial hardship faced by the CHQ. Some had even gone to the extent of proposing that Secretary General may function from his station or seek transfer to any of the Delhi offices. The Conference, while appreciating the concern expressed by these units of the financial health, categorically rejected these suggestions.

            Conference specifically directed the Members of the National Executive Committee members that they should ensure that their units shall clear the CHQ dues by 30^th April 2013.

            The proposed CWC meeting will discuss only the organisational issues ie building up of the Association to enable the organisation to pursue the Policy and Programme Resolution adopted by the 46^th Conference, meeting the challenges of the day. The CWC meeting is proposed to be held in the 1^st half of August 2013. The dates and venue shall be communicated shortly.

            Report on implementation of "REMOVE CURBS ON THE EXERCISE OF FUNDAMENTAL (Right to Association & Right to Expression) & DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS DAY" on 23^rd April 2013 has not been received from all the units. Units may remember that this slackness on  timely  reporting adversely affects our future planning.

Dear Comrades,

 As  you are aware, the Government in reply to a question raised in the Parliament has stated that setting up of the 7^th Central Pay Commission  for effecting wage revision of central Government employees is not presently under its consideration.  You will recall, that  a similar statement was made by the then Finance Minister, when the demand for setting up the 6^th CPC was raised by the employees.  The Joint movement of the Central Government employees, for which we created the platform of the Steering Committee of the organizations participating in the JCM under the leadership of Late Com. J.P. Chaubey, the then General Secretary of All India Railway men Federation could ensure that the Government rescind its stand then and set up the 6^th CPC.  The real value of wages determined by the 6^th CPC has now been eroded to the extent of above 100% due to the unprecedented inflation in the economy and spiraling rise in the prices of essential commodities.  While the Government permits wage negotiation and revision in the fully owned Public Sector Undertakings every five years, the denial to revise the wages of Central Government employees despite such large scale erosion in the real value of wages is absolutely unjustified.

The Government had been persisting with the enactment of the PRFDA Bill in the Parliament in almost all sessions ever since the UPA II Government took over.  Ironically they could elicit support from the main Opposition Party in the country for this ill advised enactment.  Lakhs of new workers who have joined in various organizations of the Government since2004 are worried of their future, which is forlorn and bleak, in the wake of the denial of an age old social security scheme of Pension.  We have been together opposing this move right from the day, the NDA Government introduced the bill in the Parliament in 2003.  However, our efforts, actions and objections have all been ignored with disdain by the Government. Though they could not muster enough support required to pass the bill in the Parliament, the Union Cabinet has recently taken the decision to allow 49% FDI in the pension fund.

We are to channelize our efforts through a wider platform of Unity. Efforts are on anvil to bring about such a platform.  In the meantime, we have decided to call upon all Units and Branches of AIRF, Confederation and AIDEF to organize Demonstration on 29^th April, 2013 in front of all offices and send the following telegram to the Prime Minister.

WITHDRAW PFRDA BILL AND SET UP THE 7^TH CPC

Members of Women's Committee

 

Dear Comrades,

 

OBSERVE ASSOCIATION DAY

 

            All India Audit & Accounts Association would be completing glorious 90 years on the coming 15^th April. Founded on 15^th April 1923 in a meeting of likeminded brave-hearts at Nagpur, (Pl refer Circular 09-2012) the Association has seen many ups and downs and many victimisations at the hands of the die-hard bureaucracy of IA&AD. Every time the Association emerged more vibrant and militant.

 

            The 46^th Conference of the Association held at Guwahati called upon every unit to observe the 90^th Association Day in a befitting manner by organising week-long programme from 15^th April.

 

            15^th April – Flag hoisting and meeting

 

16^th April – Distribution of Handbill on the history of the Association prepared in local language to all employees and officers

 

17^th April – Hall meeting – speech by senior (including retired) comrades on the role of All India Audit & Accounts Association (special thrust may be given on newly recruited personnel), the challenges

 

18^th & 19^th April – Hall meetings with different groups of members on the challenges before the Audit & Accounts personnel, the CG employees and the working class – Confederation leaders may pl be invited to address the meetings.

 

            All out effort to reach to every employee and officer may be taken. Reporting of Conference – wherever not done – may also be undertaken during this programme. The charter of Demands and the policy and programme resolution adopted by the Conference may be explained to one and all.

 

            The campaign should without fail cover enrolling of new members, April being the month for enrolling new members. 

 

OBSERVE

"REMOVE CURBS ON THE EXERCISE OF FUNDAMENTAL (Right to Association & Right to Expression) & DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS DAY"

 

            The 46^th Conference, after taking stock of the prevailing situation in IA&AD, decided to educate and mobilise the employees in pursuance of the Charter of Demands adopted by the Conference. The Conference concluded that the first and foremost impediment before the employees is the colonial mindset of the IAAS Bureaucracy –that take advantage of the Indian Constitution and defy it at every stage when it matter to the function and the employees - and arrogant denial of basic right of the employees to organise and the right to expression.

 

            The Conference, therefore, called upon the members to observe 23^rd April 2013 as "REMOVE CURBS ON THE EXERCISE OF FUNDAMENTAL (Right to Association & Right to Expression) & DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS DAY" by adopting the (enclosed) letter addressed to the Comptroller & Auditor General in a lunch hour meeting and handing over to the Head of the Department by the Executive Committee in a deputation.

 

PROTEST AGAINST THE ATTACK ON P&T AUDIT PERSONNEL

 

            The CAG administration has issued an order where-by all the Assistant Audit officers in the P&T Audit would be liable to be transferred out of station on completion of 5 years in the station. This order not only would de-stabilise the family life of the Assistant Audit officers and Audit officers but would also throw the office functioning of every Branch Audit Office (BAO) under Director General of Audit (P&T) into chaos.

 

            A similar position is already in existence in the Commercial Audit, where transfer was a norm for a long time.

 

            In P&T Audit, though the cadre of AAO and AO/SAO are All India Cadres for the sake of deciding seniority for promotions, functionally it was a local cadre from the very beginning. This unilateral decision on transfer policy of AAOs and AO/SAO is highly objectionable. The resolution adopted by the 46^th Conference on the subject is enclosed. All the Units are requested to adopt the same resolution on 23^rd April 2013 and hand it over to the Heads of Departments along with the letter on right to fundamental and democratic rights. 

 

            With greetings,

Yours fraternally

Secretary General

The Comptroller & Auditor General of India,

New Delhi – 110124

 

 

 

Sir,

           

            The field Associations of this Federation had been a Composite Association comprising of all groups B, C & D exception being Audit/Accounts Officers who had their separate Associations & Federations. With the promulgation of CCS (RSA) Rules, 1993, Head of the Department has been vested with the authority to define distinct category for formation of Association. The result is that the then existing composite Association now being split into four category-wise Associations. This is interference in the fundamental right to Association guaranteed under Art. 19 of Constitution. Imposing restrictions on the right to form an Association of our choice is, therefore, ultra vires of the Article 19 of the Constitution.        

 

            We, therefore, request you to examine the validity of this restriction and withdraw order defining the distinct categories. This request has been made on behalf of the 46th Conference of All India Audit & Accounts Association held on 11 -14 March 2013 at Guwahati, Assam.

 

            The Conference also considered the various measures being taken by authorities which act as curbs on day to day functioning of the Association viz. organising General Body Meetings, dharna, demonstrations and even mass casual leave to register their protest against non-settlement of their collective grievances. The above measures have been taken in exercise of freedom of expression which is also guaranteed under the Constitution.

 

            It has also been seen that meetings without permission have been treated as violation of Rule 7(i) of CCS (Conduct), Rules. In this way all meetings, peaceful demonstrations, dharna etc. which have not been prohibited under 7(i) ibid, have also been declared as prohibited demonstrations and that also through an executive instruction by a Ministry which is not even the nodal Ministry. This is an attempt to expand a prohibited conduct not through the rule itself or through statutory orders issued by the President of India under Art.309 of the Constitution. Several judgements pronounced by various courts justified the conduct of peaceful demonstrations/meetings/dharnas.  This is therefore a patently ultra vires executive order which is illegal and should be deleted from the rule book. This has been done through another executive instruction which is illegal and void.

 

            The Conference, therefore, directed me to request you to have a 'suo moto' review of the cases in which the illegal instructions have been invoked and disciplinary proceedings culminating in severe penalties have been inflicted by different field authorities working under you.

 

            I hope the above submissions made on behalf of our Conference would receive your consideration and the Department would be drawn out of shadows of victimisation to restore harmonious employer-employee relations.

 

     Thanking you in anticipation,

Yours faithfully,

R E S O L U T I O N

 

      

The 46^th Conference of All India Audit & Accounts Association held at Guwahati, Assam on 11^th to 14^th March 2013 noted that the Circular issued by Director General of Audit (Post & Telecommunications) causing transfer of all Assistant Audit Officers and Audit and Sr Audit Officers in every five year is neither in the interest of the personnel or in the interest of the function.

 

The Conference was of the considered view that this unilateral decision of the DGA (P&T) would not only lead to total demoralisation of the work force in P&T Audit leading to adverse effect on the output but destabilise the entire functional set up in the Branch Audit Offices (BAOs) in P&T Audit. This Circular flies on the face of the sterling performance by P&T Audit personnel in the very recent past.

 

The Conference rejeceds the contention in the Circular dated 11.03.2013 that continuance in the same station would lead to 'casual approach to work'. Instead of granting incentive to all those who has done excellent job, the departmental authorities are in a mood to penalise and thus demoralise the hard working officers of the Department.

 

The 46^th Conference of All India Audit & Accounts Association held at Guwahati, Assam on 11^th to 14^th March 2013 urged upon the DGA (P&T) to withdraw the Circular dated 11^th March 2013, to initiate discussion with this Association on transfer policy in P&T Audit and arrive at a consensus.

 

This meeting of members of ………………………………………….Association, ….. held on 23^rd April 2013 endorses the resolution adopted by the 46^th Conference of All India Audit & Accounts Association and urges upon the Comptroller & Auditor General of India to intervene causing resolution to the issue. 

 

It is resolved to send a copy of this resolution to the Comptroller & Auditor General of India.
