Sub: Information regarding over payments made to DAD employees on account of wrong pay fixation granting the benefit of financial up gradation under ACP/ MACP scheme

Recently Hqr office has intimated that it has received a case where a clerk appointed in the DAD on Inter Departmental Transfer basis was granted financial up gradation under ACP scheme of 1999 in the pay scale of Rs.4000-100-6000 in his erstwhile department . Although he was appointed in the DAD as clerk in the pay scale of Rs.3050- 75- 3950- 80-4590 still his pay was erroneously fixed in the pay scale of Rs.4500-125-7000 (granting him financial up gradation in the hierarchy of post in the DAD ie., pay scale applicable to Auditor) instead of granting him pay protection in the pay scale applicable to the post of clerk in the DAD ie 3050- 75-3950- 80-4590 . This pay fixation is not as per rules/
orders.

Also check: MACP guidance as per recommendations of the 7th CPC

2. Hqr has already issued a clarification on the issue of MACP to the employees appointed in DAD through Inter Departmental Transfer vide letter no. AN/Xl/11051/ MACP/2010 v.11-1 dated 25.2 .2010 and AN/Xl/ 11051/MACP/ 2011/ID dated 04.06.2012.

Sirs,
Sub:- Board's item No.3-Grant of financial upgradation under MACP Scheme in the promotional hierarchy-(instead of Grade Pay hierarchy)- as per judgment of various courts. {item(s) to be discussed with Board (MS &FC)}

Ref:- NFIR's letter No.IV/MACPS/09/Part 10, dated 20.02.2017.

The undersigned is directed to refer to item No.3 of the record note of discussions held on 12.10.2015 on MACPS anomalies whereby NFIR have stated that ACP Scheme is more advantageous than MACPS for certain categories of employees viz. office Clerks/Accounts Clerks, Commercial Clerks, Stenographers, Technician Gr.III and Shroff category.

In this regard, the factual position prevailing on Railways has been ascertained from a Railway i.e. Northern Railway in respect of these categories of employees and on a perusal of the same, it has been observed as under:-

The employees directly recruited as Office Clerk (GP Rs.1900) are getting Grade Pay of Rs. 4600 as 3rd MACPS whereas under ACP Scheme no further financial upgradation beyond GP of Rs. 4200/- would be admissible.

The employees directly recruited as Technician Gr.III (GP Rs.1900) are getting Grade Pay of Rs. 4200 as 3rd MACPS whereas under ACP Scheme no further financial upgradation beyond GP of Rs. 2800/- would be admissible.

The employees directly recruited as Shroff category (GP Rs.1900) after their promotion as Hd. Shroff in GP Rs.4200 have further been granted 3rd MACPS in Grade Pay of Rs. 4200 (as next promotional cadre post of ADC is also in the same Grade Pay of Rs.4200/-) whereas under ACP Scheme there is no provision for grant of 3rd financial upgradation.

The employees directly recruited as Stenographer (GP Rs.2400) are getting Grade Pay of Rs. 4800/- as 3rd MACPS whereas under ACP Scheme no further financial upgradation beyond GP of Rs. 4600/- would be admissible.

The employees directly recruited as Accounts Clerk (GP Rs.1900) are getting Grade Pay of Rs. 4600 as 3rd MACPS whereas under ACP Scheme no further financial upgradation beyond GP of Rs. 4200/- would be admissible.

Federations are requested to appreciate the factual position as mentioned above.

From the above, it can be seen that MACP Scheme is more advantageous than the ACP Scheme for the aforesaid categories.

4. Federations are requested to appreciate the factual position as mentioned above.

Yours faithfully,

Subject: - Settlement of the long pending issues and appropriate recommendations on 7th CPC related matters- regarding

Sir,
We have been directed to refer our letter No: AICAEA/HQ/A-2/2016/417 dated 17th April, 2016 on the subject mentioned above and state that the employees are totally aggrieved for non-settlement of their grievances for more than one and a half years.

Moreover, large numbers of the issues that were discussed in the meeting held between the official side of CGA office and the National Executive of All India Civil Accounts employees Association under your Chairpersonship on 6th November 2015 are yet to be settled. Further, it was stated in the said meeting that the “Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure has returned the Cadre Review proposal of Group ‘B’ & ‘C’ cadres of CCAS with the remarks that proposal may be re-examined in terms of instructions contained in their O.M. NO. 5(3)/E.III/97 dated 07.01.1999 and No. 7(1)/E.Coord/2014 dated 29.10.2014. DoE has also informed that the revision of pay in respect of Civil Accounts Employees will not be done in isolation and the same may be viewed and examined in the larger context of Organized Accounts Service as a whole. Therefore, the matter will be examined by DoE, MoF, in a holistic manner keeping in view the recommendations of 7th Pay Commission as well. The Association was therefore asked to wait for the 7th Pay Commission recommendation and the decision of the Government.”

But, we would like to bring the following facts to your kind information -

1. Pending implementation of 7CPC recommendations, the Ministry of Finance has accorded approval to the Cadre Review proposals of the Department of Posts.

2. The C&AG has made his recommendations to the Government for cadre review/ cadre restructuring/ amendments in the Recruitment Rules.

Hence, in view of these facts and as per the DOPT instructions, cadre review of the Gr. B & C employees of Civil Accounts Employees, which should have been done much earlier and before the cadre review of the Gr “A” cadres of Civil Accounts organization was done in 2012-13, needs to be initiated immediately in consultation with the Associations.

Apart from the above, the employees and officers of Civil Accounts organization are yet to learn about the recommendations given by the Controller General of Accounts to the Empowered Committee constituted by the Government for implementing the recommendations of 7CPC.

Therefore, for the purpose of review of the status of the issues discussed on 6th November 20159 (including the issue of Cadre Review) and to be appraised about the recommendations given by the Controller General of Accounts to the Empowered Committee constituted, our National Executive Members wish to meet you on 10th June 2016. We shall be thankful if you kindly accept our proposal and make it convenient to meet us on the proposed date. Time of the meeting may kindly be intimated to us at an early date please.

It may kindly be noted that the issues for discussion in the meeting will be the items forwarded by us through our letter dated 17th April, 2016.

Thanking you,
Yours faithfully

Subject: - Settlement of the long pending issues and appropriate recommendations on 7th CPC related matters- regarding

Sir,
We have been directed to refer the letters No; AICAEA/HQ/A-2/2016/ 229-59 dated 09.03.2016 and No: - AICAEA/HQ/A-2/2016/ 271 dated: 10.03.2016 of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association and its subsequent letters dated 31.03.2016, 01.04.2016, 08.04.2016 and 12.04.2016 respectively on the subject mentioned above and state that the opportunities of career advancement of different categories of Civil Accounts employees has been halted as no departmental examination was conducted by the Civil Accounts authorities for last one and a half years. Non-conducting of AAO(Civil) examination from the year 2014 onwards alone has virtually created chain linked adverse affect on totality of the Civil Accounts Employees right from MTS to AAO. None of the categories have been getting their legitimately due benefits of promotion and financial upgradations etc. We have already requested to your good self through our earlier correspondences to kindly conduct the examinations at the earliest so that the grievances of the employees in general are resolved.

Apart from the above, we would also like to state that-

1. Among the items discussed in the meeting held between the official side and the National Executives of the All India Civil Accounts Employees Association under your Chairpersonship on 6th November 2015, though favourable actions on some of the issues have been taken, but majority of the issues are yet to be settled which has generated strong resentment among the employees.

2. Endeavour on the part of the office of the Controller General of Accounts to operate a transfer policy for AAOs and local rotational transfer policies for AAO and Accountant/ Senior Accountant transparently were no doubt tremendously appreciated by the employees. But, the employees are totally disappointed due to the fact that, while these policies have been totally diluted and vitiated on account of prejudiced and biased approaches of the heads of Civil Accounts Departments like PCCAs of MHA, CBEC, CBDT, CCA of Ministry of Urban Development and CA of Ministry of WR etc. and also for their unwanted interferences, the Controller General of Accounts is maintaining total indifference against all these and his office is not at all enforcing the policies effectively and uniformly.

Further, due to sustained and united movements of the Central Government Employees, the Government of India has constituted the Empowered Committee under the Chairpersonship of the Cabinet Secretary to Government of India for sorting out the grievances of the employees on the recommendations of 7 CPC. In terms of the directives of the Empowered Committee, the All India Civil Accounts Employees Association alone was asked by your office to make its submission on the 7th CPC related issues. The Association had accordingly submitted its proposals for improvements in recommendations and it was informally informed to the Association that the proposals have been forwarded to the appropriate higher authorities with proper recommendations. Though the Association offered it’s thanks to your office for the favourable action taken but unfortunately, the requests for (1) Providing a copy of the recommendations made and (2) Meeting the joint delegation of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association, All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II and All India Association of Pay and Accounts Officers (Civil) on the CPC related matters are yet to be responded by your office.

We hope your kind self would definitely agree with us that the employees are suffering without any fault of theirs and there are valid grounds for them to become restive. Therefore, the specific issues on which the resentment has been precipitated and in support of which issues the members of our Associations shall resort to a day’s protest Dharna on 6th May 2016 are attached herewith in the form of “CHARTER OF DEMANDS” for your kind perusal.

We on behalf the All India Civil Accounts Employees Associations and All India Civil Accounts Employees Association Category II earnestly request you to kindly intervene personally into the undesirable situation created so that grievances of the employees are resolved at the earliest and peace and tranquility prevail in the organization.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully
