Sub: – Restore unilateral transfer policy.

Sir,

           Hundreds of employees are victims of ban on unilateral transfers. With the Staff Selection Commission adopting a policy of posting personnel from one state to another, this issue has become acute.

           In this regard our demand is that the unilateral transfer policy should be restored immediately.

          

           On behalf of the Civil Audit Association, Hyderabad unit I request you to look into the matter and raise the demand at appropriate level.

           Thanking you,

Permit self certification for TA/DA claims.

The Secretary General,

Sub: – Permit self certification for TA/DA claims.

Sir,

           The present position regarding production of bills for food, conveyance etc. towards TA/DA claims would affect the efficiency and output adversely. One will have to spend time to procure bills than concentrating on work at hand.  The employees are not yogis to live without food and water. They need not produce evidence in support of having food.

          

           In this regard our demand is that self certification for bood, conveyance, etc be permitted (as is the case with Railway Accounts).

           On behalf of the Civil Audit Association, Hyderabad unit I request you to look into the matter and raise the demand at appropriate level.

           Thanking you,

Sub: – Orders issued by CAG regarding 1/3^rd quorum of the membership of the Federation / Associations should be taken back.

Sir,

           Federation and its affiliated Associations were asked by Comptroller and Auditor General of India based the DOPT orders to amend their respective Constitutions on quorum to 1/3^rd of the membership.  The quorum of 15% of membership for General Body meeting is a universally accepted provision. Similarly, the provision that "in the absence of required quorum, the meeting shall be adjourned for half hour and adjourned meeting shall require no quorum" is also universally accepted practice. These issues may be best left to the Federation and its affiliated Associations.

           On behalf of the Civil Audit Association, Hyderabad unit I request you to look into the matter and raise the demand at appropriate level.

Increment should be given to officials who are retiring between January and June.

The Secretary General,

National Audit Federation.

Sub: – Increment should be given to officials who are retiring between January and June.

Sir,

          

           By giving uniform date of increment i.e. 1^st July, the central pay commission has done injustice to the persons retiring between January and June.  Because of this, officials who are retiring between January and June are deprived of the benefit of increment.

           Our demand is that for those officials retiring between January and June, the retirement/pension benefits should be given after adding one increment to their last basic pay, since they have served more than six months in their last basic pay.

           On behalf of the Civil Audit Association, Hyderabad unit I request you to look into the matter and raise the demand at appropriate level.

           Thanking you,

Master Health Check up facilities through CGHS should be made available to all its beneficiaries above the age of 30 yeas.

Gwalior

To

The Secretary General,

National Audit Federation.

Sub: – Master Health Check up facilities through CGHS should be made available to all its beneficiaries above the age of 30 yeas.

Sir,

           Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being. Health has always been held as a priceless asset.  Physical fitness is a must for good living. For a good living, we need a healthy body. Only when we have a healthy body we will think good and perform well.

          

           In the present world we are put into various stress and strain. We are exposed to many man-made pollutants. Many people are physically inactive. Health hazards are many.  The trend today is not to wait for sickness and disease to strike and then start treatment, but to try and discover it early, before it shows itself. So is the need for a preventive health check-up, as all we know "prevention is better than cure".

      

           The Master Health Check up plays an important role in preventive medicine. Wherein a physician takes a detailed history and then the patient goes through important test which include blood tests, X-rays, ECG etc. The patient may then refer any of the concerned doctors for further treatment, if the need arises. The status of the patient’s health is explained and preventive and curative steps are immediately undertaken.

           In view of this, our demand is that CGHS should provide Master Health Check up facilities to all its beneficiaries above the age of 30 yeas through dispensaries, Government hospitals and polyclinics and through empanelled private hospitals and diagnostic centers. CGHS should play a pro-active role in providing medical facilities to its beneficiaries by providing preventive health check-up.

           On behalf of the Civil Audit Association, Hyderabad unit I request you to look into the matter and raise the demand at appropriate level.

           Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Hike the rate of interest on General Provident Fund (GPF)

To

The Secretary General,

National Audit Federation.

Sub: – Hike the rate of interest on General Provident Fund (GPF).

Sir,

           The rate of interest on General Provident Fund (GPF) which is pegged at 8 per cent should be reviewed so that government employees are not put to any disadvantage in a scenario where the interest rates for bank deposits has also been raised.

           Recently (on 2^nd August 2011), a Parliamentary panel also asked the Central government to increase the rate of return on provident fund for its employees in the light of rising bank rates and EPFO's decision to hike its rate to 9.5% for 2010-11.

          

           The EPFO had been paying 8.5% interest on PF deposits since 2005-06. In September last year, it had recommended an increase in interest rate to 9.5% for 2010-11.

           On behalf of the Civil Audit Association, Hyderabad unit I request you to look into the matter and raise the demand at appropriate level.

           Thanking you,

MACP should be granted to employees who complete 10 years of continuous regular service in the same grade pay irrespective of number of previous promotions.

The Secretary General,

National Audit Federation.

Sub: – MACP should be granted to employees who complete 10 years of continuous regular service in the same grade pay irrespective of number of previous promotions.

Sir,

           Under the MACP Scheme three financial up gradations will be available in the next higher grade pay at intervals of 10, 20 and 30 years of continuous regular service in the same grade pay.

           This scheme is beneficial to Group B gazetted and non-gazetted employees but not to the Group C employees.

           In normal conditions, a person with matriculation recruited as MTS (erstwhile Group D) will become Senior Auditor within 10 years and he remains in the same cadre till his retirement (for about 22 to 32 years) resulting in frustration and de-motivation. He has very remote chances to complete the SAS exam because of his educational background.

           This is unfair. This is defeating the basic idea of ACP / MACP is to deal with the problem of genuine stagnation and hardship faced by the employees due to lack of adequate promotional avenues.

           Hence, our demand is that MACP should be granted to an employee who completes 10 years of continuous regular service in the same grade pay irrespective of number of previous promotions.

          

           On behalf of the Civil Audit Association, Hyderabad unit I request you to look into the matter and raise the demand at appropriate level to address this issue.

           Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
