Resolution
No: 1
Sub: Implement
Cadre restructuring
The 10th Biennial
Conference of National Audit Federation held at New Delhi from 16-07-2016 to 18-07-2016,
observed that the 7th Central Pay Commission has not acceded to the
justified demands of the employees of IA&AD for the upgradation of pay of
various cadres at par with that of the Central Secretariat. The conference has
discussed this issue in detail and concluded that non-fulfillment of one of the
long pending demand of this Federation for comprehensive cadre restructuring in
IA&AD is one of the reason for denial of Central Parity. Hence this
Biennial Conference has unanimously resolved to urge upon the Comptroller and
Auditor General of India to give directions for a comprehensive Cadre
restructuring in IA&AD in line with the cadre restructuring implemented in
other departments viz. Central
Secretariat Service, Central Board for Direct Taxes, Central Board for Excise
and Customs etc.
It is also resolved to
send a copy of the above resolution to the Comptroller and Auditor General of India

Resolution No: 2
Sub: Review
of Sector wise Reorganisation of Audit offices
Sector
wise re-organisation of Audit offices under IA&AD was implemented w.e.f.
1-04-2012. The 10th Biennial Conference of the National Audit Federation held
at New Delhi from 16th July to 18th July 2016 observed that the Reorganisation
of Audit offices on Sector wise implemented in field offices was not in uniform
manner. It is noticed that the List of Major and Minor Heads (LMMH), which
classifies various departments under each Sector, was not strictly followed
during implementation. The sector wise re-organisation in field offices
witnessed tug-of-war between the Accountant’s General transmitting the momentum
to the employees upto the lower level. If in some offices sharing of resources,
premises and personnel were major issues, some other offices faced issues
relating to sharing of departments (auditee institutions).
This
Biennial Conference observed that the CAG should review the implementation of
Sector wise re-organisation of Audit offices and to initiate rectification of
the lapses. The departments shall be distributed in an unvarying manner
strictly on the basis of LMMH. It shall be implemented uniformly in all the
offices. This conference unanimously decided to communicate the above to the
Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
It is also observed that the formation of Director
General (Central) offices has created lot of issues among staff working under
various AG offices. Hence it is unanimously decided to urge upon the CAG to abolish the Director General (Central)
offices.

Resolution No: 3
Sub: Pay all Allowances in
the revised rate from the date of implementation of 7CPC recommendations.
The much awaited
report of the 7th Central Pay Commission was submitted to the
Government of India on the 19th November 2015. After a lapse of 6
moths, the Government have decided to implement the recommendations without any
major changes. The government have also decided to refer all the allowances
recommended by the 7CPC to a committee of secretaries for further study and
directed to recommend for changes, if necessary. Government have not acceded to
the general demand of the employees for enhancement of the fitment formula and minimum
pay.
The Union Finance
Minister tweeted after the cabinet decision that the Central Government
employees will now receive “historic hike” in their salary and allowances. The
media has also swallowed the hype that the government has given “bonanza” for
babus. The major share of government’s “Bonanza”, though “Paltry”, as described
by Shri. Vinod Rai the former CAG, is the meagre hike in the revised
allowances. By deferring the implementation of revised allowances, the
government has denied the so called “Bonanza” to Central Government employees.
The denial of enhanced rate of allowances from the date of effect (01-01-2016)
will result in huge financial loss to the employees.
The Tenth Biennial Conference of the
National Audit Federation held in New Delhi from 16-July-2016 to 18-July-2016
observed that the denial of proposed allowances to government employees from
the date of effect of 7CPC is denial of justice. Hence this Conference
unanimously resolved to demand the government to issue immediate orders for the
payment of all allowances in the revised rate w.e.f. 1-01-2016 (Date of
implementation of 7CPC).
This conference also resolved to forward a
copy of the resolution to the Prime Minister of India, Finance Minister of
India and the CAG of India.

Resolution No: 4
Sub: Enhance insurance
coverage with low premium
One of
the important recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission was
to enhance the insurance amount to `15 lakh, `25 lakh and `50 lakh with a monthly deduction of `1500, `2500 and `5000
respectively. Though the increase in insured amount was promising, the increase
in monthly deduction on account of premium has nullified the meagre increase in
salary. Ultimately, the government has rejected the recommendations of 7CPC on
CGEGIS and referred to a committee of secretaries to examine and offer their
comments.
This 10th
Biennial Conference of the National Audit Federation unanimously resolved to
urge upon the Government of India to formulate a new scheme to give more
coverage in less monthly deduction from the employees.
This conference also resolved to
forward a copy of the resolution to the Prime Minister of India, Finance
Minister of India and the CAG of India.

Resolution No: 5
Sub: Improvement in CGHS facilities
At present, CGHS is providing facilities to about 40 lakh
beneficiaries including pensioners and their dependants. The Central Government
employees after paying a considerable amount for monthly subscription of CGHS
hence they must get a better Health Scheme. Presently, CGHS beneficiaries
outside Delhi are facing a lot of problems due to the cumbersome procedures,
less number of empanelled hospitals, difficulties in getting timely treatment.
Hence, the 10th Biennial Conference of the National Audit Federation
held from 16th to 18th July unanimously resolved to urge
upon the Prime Minister of India, Finance Minister, the Union Health Minister
to formulate and implement a better treatment facility to all Central
Government employees in general and CGHS beneficiaries in particular. It is
also demanded to Expand CGHS to more areas and to strengthen the existing
facilities under CGHS.
This
conference also resolved to forward a copy of the resolution to the Prime
Minister of India, Minister for Health and Family Welfare and the CAG of India.
