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,

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.

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,

Implementation of transfer policy - Request – Reg

Dear Members!

The letter addressed to The Principal Accountant General (CA) and the Accountant General (C&RA) on "Implementation of transfer policy" is posted here for the information of members please.

Yours Rahul.

The Principal Accountant General (Civil Audit),

Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad.

Sub: – Implementation of transfer policy - Request – Reg.

                                          

Sir,

Many officers (SAOs/AOs/AAOs/Ars) in the offices of the Principal Accountant General (CA) and the Accountant General (C&RA) are continuing in the same section or same seat for quite a long time and some persons are even continuing since their appointment irrespective of their promotions.

                                                                                                         

Many a times this Association tried its best to bring the issue of implementation of transfer policy to your consideration but in vain. Whenever this Association raises this issue only very few persons of lower cadres are being transferred. But, the true spirit of the policy can only be attained when the policy is implemented in all the cadres, particularly in higher cadres. We can not be restricted not to demand the transfer of non-members of this Association as our members are not working in isolation.

Due to this long standing, the persons occupying these positions have developed prejudices against many and they are also not able to do things differently / innovatively.  How efficient the person may be, in a dynamic organization like ours, continuance of same persons in same position for decades together works as antithesis to dynamism and any amount of administrative difficulties may not justify such stagnant positions. These stagnant positions are being continued under the guise of administrative convenience / discretion at the cost of organizational objectives.

An impartial and just transfer policy improves versatility of an employee, increases job satisfaction of an employee, improves employee’s morale, reduces employee’s monotony, minimizes corruption and corrects inter-personal conflicts and helps the organization to achieve its objectives.

Therefore, we demand you to implement the transfer policy in its true spirit and avoid further delay.

Yours faithfully,

Sd/-
