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.

Permit self certification for TA/DA claims.

To

The Secretary General,

National Audit Federation.

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.

To

The Secretary General,

National Audit Federation.

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.

           Thanking you,

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

Gwalior

28-08-2011

To

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,

Yours faithfully,

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

Gwalior

28-08-2011

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)

Gwalior

28-08-2011

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.

Gwalior

28-08-2011

To

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,

Increasing the strength of Supervisors

Dear Members!

The representation on "Increasing the strength of Supervisors" addressed to the CAG of India during his visit to Hyderabad is posted here for the information of members please.

Yours Rahul.

To

The Comptroller and Auditor General of India,

New Delhi.

Sub: Increasing the strength of Supervisors - Regarding.

Sir,

At present the strength of Supervisors is being maintained at 8% of the strength of Section Officers.  In view of the merger of the cadres of Section Officers and Assistant Audit Officers, we are requesting the Comptroller and Auditor General of India to re-work the percentage and increase it to 20% of the merged cadre (now re-designated as Assistant Audit Officer).

We are also requesting the Comptroller and Auditor General of India to re-designate the Supervisor as Section Officer and grant further promotion up to Senior Audit Officer.

 

Thanking you,

Placement in the Grade Pay under the MACPS

Dear Members!

The representation on "Placement in the Grade Pay under the MACPS" addressed to the CAG of India during his visit to Hyderabad is posted here for the information of members please.

Yours Rahul.

Hyderabad

To

The Comptroller and Auditor General of India,

New Delhi.

Sub: – Placement in the Grade Pay under the MACPS – Regarding.

Sir,

Under the Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACPS) Financial up gradation is being awarded to the next higher grade pay in the hierarchy of revised Pay Band and not to the promotional hierarchy (as it was earlier).  But, the career progression only means the promotion in the hierarchy and not to a Grade Pay which is not present in the hierarchy of the respective department.

Hence, under the Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACPS) the placement in the Grade Pay should be the Grade Pay of the next promotional post instead of the next higher Grade Pay in the hierarchy of revised Pay Band.

The Civil Audit Association, Hyderabad unit urges upon the Comptroller and Auditor General of India to intervene personally and convey our demand to the Government of India to resolve this gross anomaly at the earliest.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Recruitment policy

Dear Members!

The representation on "Recruitment policy" addressed to the CAG of India during his visit to Hyderabad is posted here for the information of members please.

Yours Rahul.

Hyderabad

07-01-2011

To

The Comptroller and Auditor General of India,

New Delhi.

Sub: – Recruitment policy – Regarding.

Sir,

I am directed to bring the following few lines for your kind consideration and early favourable orders.

These days the majority of the candidates appointed to Office of the Principal Accountant General (CA) through direct recruitment in the cadres of DEOs / Auditors / AAOs do not belong to this State.

You are aware of the fact that the cadre of DEOs / Auditors / AAOs in IA&AD Department is in the lower steps of the hierarchical ladder.  This means, the DEOs / Auditors / AAOs in IA&AD department have to communicate very frequently with the natives either in the duty of field or headquarters.  Though, the official communication and work is done in either English or Hindi, the verbal communication between peers and staff of auditee organisations would be definitely in the native language.  Further, as most of the basic records maintained by the local bodies and state government departments are in native language, the knowledge of native language becomes all the more important when the Auditors / AAOs are in field duty.

In view of these facts, the officials without the knowledge of the native language will face difficulty in communicating with the native officials and vice versa.  This hampers the efficiency of their performance, which would not be beneficial either to the department or the official.

The problem can be brushed aside by arguing that the newly recruited non-local officials can be trained in the native languages.  However, the past experience indicates that the trainings provided are never enough for free and smooth communication between a native and non-native person and it takes years to cope up with this problem.

There is also another aspect in this issue.  The first few years of the service of the newly recruited non-local officials are consumed in getting a deputation or a mutual transfer to their native or a near by State.  A few officials may also be putting in efforts to get a suitable job in their native or near by State through other competitive examinations.  Thus, a situation arises, where in, it can be said that the cadre strength has increased but without much improvement to the working of the department.

There is also much bigger social and political angle involved in this issue.  The recent trends across the country and particularly in Andhra Pradesh are indicating that there is decrease in the levels of tolerance with increase in the percentage of population of non-locals leading to several agitations and movements.  Though, as an organization the Comptroller and Auditor General of India may not have critical role in this aspect, but every drop of water adds to the mounting tension in the reservoir after full reservoir level.

Therefore, we request the Comptroller and Auditor General of India to adapt a policy of allotting newly recruited candidates to their own / nearby states and also adapt a policy of allowing transfers (transfer of non-local employees to their own / nearby states) within the Department just before recruitments.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
