NYAY-NIVEDAN PROGRAMME

CALLED BY NATIONAL AUDIT FEDERATION
Friends, for last many years we have been demanding from the administration for resolution of our major demands. In January, 2017 we participated in postcard campaign that was addressed to Minister of Finance for consideration of our grievances. It is understood that the government is going to implement revised rates of allowances with effect from 1st July 2017. Incase, no order is issued before 1st July, we will observe ‘Black Day’ on 3rd July 2017, hold General Body in the lunch hour in front of field offices, pass resolution against the anti-employee attitude of the Government and demand for urgent implementation of the revised rate of allowances.   
In Hyderabad working committee meeting, resolutions to implement our major demands were passed and sent to the CAG office. However, the administration is not moving an inch to solve it. The last three CPC equated the scale of Sr. Auditor to Assistants. Intentionally, the opinion of expert body is being disregarded. 5th and 7th CPC directly and 6th CPC indirectly equaled the scale of AAO to Section Officer of ministries. We do not stand anywhere before them. The Sr. AO was singled out of Group A category against DOPT’s general order. Instead of implementing the High Court judgment, we were forced to approach further to the highest court. Recruitment Rules of AAO were framed by so much maneuvering and misstatement of facts which lastly led to issue of new order of DOPT that singled out the AAO being the only Gazetted post in India filled through examination conducted by SSC. We shouted everywhere. But it fell on deaf ears. SAS passed accountants/auditors are waiting for long time to get promoted as AAO in some offices. And in some other offices, AAOs are stagnating for 17, 18 years and even more. SAS examination has become tougher and tougher by increasing number of papers day by day and due to the introduction of negative marks. Cadre strength of AAOs were reduced and temporarily promoted Supervisors were reverted back in the name of cadre rationalization. DEOs are not getting timely promotion due to want of amendment in the recruitment rules. Natural justice to outstation staff (Unilateral Transfer) are denied. All cadres upto Sr. AO are disenchanted, frustrated and demotivated.  Only a minuscule percentage of Sr. AO can step ahead in the ladder of hierarchy.
No matter, how much you work hard with passion and dedication, how much time of your life you spend on your duty, how efficiently you perform the task, there is dead end in progression channel. All messed up, but no effort to resolve.
Hence, we demand:
  • Pay Parity to Sr. Auditors/Sr. Accountants at par with Assistants of CSS
  • Pay Parity to AAO at par with SOs of CSS
  • Pay Parity to Stenographers & Official language cadre
  • GP 5400 (PB 3) (Level 10 in 7cpc) after 4 years to AAOs
  • Group ‘A’ Status to Sr. AOs
  • Promotions to DEOs
  • Introduction of Non-IA&AS Group ‘A’ posts and Audit Manager cadre
  • Comprehensive Cadre restructuring
So it is now or never moment. You, the deprived folks of the department, are the bread-earners of this acclaimed organization. You are the soul of this historical institution and most deserving one to be heard of and taken care of. And such treatment will be coming to your door only when you make others to the realization of this truth. The qualification, examination, duties and responsibilities are constituent for deserving factors. But, the capability to stand for the truth and justice are biggest element to determine what one deserves. The time has come. Time is calling you. Now you have to decide, whether you want to take your journey to your destiny and leave the writing on the wall of time indelibly. Or leave yourself to the fate bound by some thread controlled by few office managers. Without any hesitation, we decide to march on our righteous path of truth and justice. We will not stop till we reach our destination. Let us join hands with NAF and march together to achieve our goal...
