It may be seen from the above table that
the recommendations of successive Pay Commissions with regard to pay of
Assistants, even if initially implemented, have invariably been modified at a
later point and they have been placed at one higher level. As a corollary to
this, the level of Section Officers also is at one level higher than that of
SOs in the field.

Sir,
I
am to invite your attention to the DOPT O.M.No. Misc-14017/14/2016-Estt. (RR)
dated 17th October 2016 and state that since 01. 01. 2016 the
benefit of appropriate revised pay scales based on recommendations of the
Seventh CPC have been granted to Central Government Employees, the EDP cadres
could not get the benefit as the Commission in Para 7. 7. 22 left the matter to
you for examination and recommendation.
It
took ten months for your department in issuing OM seeking information from
Government Departments in this regard and precisely 3 months have elapsed since
17th October 2016. The affected EDP cadres posted in different
Government Departments are eagerly awaiting your recommendations and lamenting
about the delay being caused to award appropriate pay scales.
In
IA&AD and other Organised Accounts Departments large numbers of EDP
personnel are working. With every passing day their anxiety and resentment is
growing. I would request you kindly to cause appropriate decision to grant
appropriate revised pay scales commensurate with the changed higher duties and
responsibilities the EDP cadres are discharging.
Thanking
you,

Sir,
This

with concern that positive recommendations of the CPC beneficial to AAOs,
Senior Accountants/Senior Auditors/ Accounts Assistants of Railway Accounts Department
and Junior Accountants working in IA&AD and other organised accounts
departments remained unimplemented till date causing serious apprehensions
amongst the affected personnel.
This
Confederation has submitted representations to Shri Narendra Modi, Hon’ble
Prime Minister of India seeking his personal intervention to ensure
implementation of Cabinet decision which has mentioned about grant of approval
of the entire report of the Commission except those mentioned as rejected.
This
Confederation is looking forward to the Implementation Cell to cause issue of
clearance of all the positive recommendations of the Commission early to remove
apprehensions being generated amongst the affected categories of personnel
belonging to IA&AD and other Accounts Departments i.s., Railway Accounts
Department, Defence Accounts Department, Postal Accounts Department, Telecom

An

The Hon’ble Prime Minister of India,

NEW DELHI: 110011.
Subject:
Request for implementation of recommendation of Seventh CPC regarding grant of
parity in pay scales of Senior Accountants /Senior Auditors of IA&AD &
Organised Accounts Departments with Assistants of Central Secretariat Service
–regarding.
Reference:
Recommendations made in Chapter 11. 12.136 and Chapter 11. 12. 137 and Chapter
7.1.4 (j) of the 7th CPC Report.
Respected Sir,
The Cabinet under your chairmanship has approved
the recommendations of the Seventh Central Pay Commission (here in after
mentioned as CPC) for implementation. With a view to permanently remove the
injustice perpetrated on Senior Auditors/ Senior Accountants of Indian Audit
and Accounts Department (IA&AD) and Accounts Assistants of Railway Accounts
the CPC has recorded its observations in Chapter7.1 and Chapter 11. 12. 137 of
the report (Both appended below for immediate reference) and recommended pay
scale for Assistants of the CSS. and observed in Chapter 11.12.137 that the recommendation there in
will settle the parities as have been sought to be established. The present CPC has explained in
details in Chapter 7.1.4 (j), how the Assistants of CSS have been granted
higher pay scales by the Government offsetting the recommendations of all the previous
CPCs since 4th CPC onwards and thus, recommended maintenance of
justice to establish parity in question. Thus the present CPC has
categorically justified the demand of the Audit and Organised Accounts cadres
for parity in pay scale with the Assistants of CSS in Chapter 11. 12. 137. It is heartrending that, although adjudged as
possessing higher job ratings than the Assistants of CSS, the Auditors and
Accountants of IA&AD and Organised Accounts Departments are being
discriminated by the successive governments, ignoring the recommendations of
successive Central Pay Commissions.
To add insult to injury, the parity in pay scale
of Senior Auditors (achieved since April, 1984 on creation of the said post in
IA&AD after cadre bifurcation) and the parity in pay scale of Senior
Accountants (since April, 1987 on recommendation of IV CPC) with that of the
Assistants of the CSS once achieved since the period mentioned against each
post(Please refer- Chapter 11.12.136 of the 7th CPC Report) was
nullified afterward by granting higher pay scales in favour of Assistants of
CSS by the Government, counter balancing the recommendations of the previous
CPCs in each stage of pay revision
In the related Gazette Notification, Dated: 26
July 2016 it is mentioned that the recommendations of the Commission have been
approved by your cabinet and in case of Assistants the recommendation for
lowering of the pre revised grade pay has not been accepted.[vide sl.11 of the RESOLUTION (No. 1-2/2016-IC),
Dated : New Delhi, the 25th July, 2016 issued by the MINISTRY OF FINANCE
(Department of Expenditure)]However, the said Gazette
notification has not mentioned that the recommendations of the present CPC at
Chapter 11. 12. 137 of its report have not been accepted by the Cabinet. We
are sorry to mention here that at the time of implementation of the VI CPC
Report, the Central Secretariat bureaucracy has even suppressed the fact that
the then cabinet approved same pay scales for Section Officers of CSS and Assistant
Audit Officers (AAOs) of Organised Accounts and IA&AD also. The fact came
to light when some AAOs working in Defence Accounts Department came across the
English version of Press Release of the Cabinet’s approval. It is feared that the
fact that the Seventh CPC‘s recommendations mentioned in Chapter 11. 12. 137
might have been withheld from the notice of the Cabinet by the bureaucracies
who have strong inhibition against the Audit and Accounts Departments.
The Audit and Accounts employees and Officers are
aggrieved by the injustice being perennially meted out to personnel working in
Organised Accounts Departments of the Union Government and Indian Audit and
Accounts Department. This Confederation, consisting of employees and officers of
Audit and Accounts Departments, invite your kind attention to the above facts
and urge upon you to cleanse the administration from misusing their position to
mislead the Cabinet in clandestine manner to seek favour for their immediate
subordinates and use their position to deny others from their legitimate dues
by suppressing parts of recommendations of the pay commissions.
Beloved Prime Minister, the Audit and Accounts
fraternity is looking at you for justice and hope under your stewardship
justice shall prevail for the personnel for whose honest efforts the greatest
scams like 2G spectrum or Coalgate could be unearthed, benefitting the nation
immensely.
This Confederation requests you to kindly
implement the findings of the Seventh CPC mentioned in Chapter 11. 12. 137 at
the earliest by grant of Grade Pay of Rs.4600 and fixing the pay in the revised
pay level corresponding to pre-revised Grade Pay of Rs.4600 under the pay matrix
recommended by the 7th CPC in case of Senior Auditors/ Senior
Accountants and Accounts Assistants of Railway Accounts to encourage the Audit
and Accounts fraternity to continue discharging their duties and
responsibilities more intently.
Thanking you, Sir,
Yours faithfully,

Request for implementation of
recommendation of Seventh CPC with regard to grant of Grade Pay of Rs.5400
after completion of 4 years of service to Assistant Audit Officers/ Assistant
Accounts Officers of IA&AD & Organised Accounts Department-regarding.
Reference:
Chapter 11. 12.138, 11. 12. 139 and 11.
12.140 of recommendations of 7thCPC.
Respected Sir,
The Cabinet, under your chairmanship, has approved
the recommendations of the Seventh Central Pay Commission (CPC) for implementation
of the same.
In case of Assistant Audit Officers/ Assistant
Accounts Officers of Indian Audit & Accounts Department (IA&AD) and
Organised Accounts Departments, who are in Grade Pay of Rs 4800, the
recommendations made by the CPC with regard to “upgrading on completion of four
years’ service to Grade Pay of 5400 (PB-2), viz., Pay level 9, in the pay
matrix” has been approved by the Cabinet. However, in Gazette Notification in
case of Defence Accounts Department and Railway Accounts Department it was
mentioned that the matter would be referred to the Secretary, DOPT for
examination.
It is a matter of concern that even at the time of
implementation of Sixth CPC recommendations, despite the Cabinet’s approval, in
Gazette Notification the name of Section Officers of Organised Accounts
Departments and of IA&AD were omitted resulting in non-implementation of
Cabinet decision. The Seventh CPC has mentioned about the then Cabinet decision
in Chapter 11. 12. 138 (Copy enclosed). It is a matter of great concern for not
only the employees but also for the country that bureaucracy dares to even deny
carrying out the decisions of the Cabinet.
Unfortunately, this time also, despite Cabinet’s approval,
the recommended pay scales for the Assistant Audit Officers/ Assistant Accounts
Officers of IA&AD & Organised Accounts Department as approved by you in
Cabinet meeting has not yet been implemented. The relevant portion of recommendations
made in Chapter 11.12.140 by the present CPC is enclosed for immediate
reference. It may not be out of place to mention here, how the founding fathers
of the Constitution had foreseen this problem and pointed out in the Constituent
Assembly about the need for independence of Audit is required more than the
judiciary as the judiciary broadly deals with criminals but audit deals with
function of Executive.
This Confederation urges upon you to look into this
matter and kindly cause appropriate action to ensure that bureaucracy do not
tamper with Cabinet decision to satisfy their ill-conceived antagonistic
attitude towards the audit and accounts departments and the appropriate orders may
please be issued conferring the approved pay fixation benefits to the AAOs, by
upgrading their Grade Pay to Rs 5400 (PB- 2) in pre revised pay scale on
completion of 4 years of service as AAO and thereafter fixing the pay under the
new Pay level - 9 in the pay matrix as recommended by the 7th CPC.
An early action is solicited, please.
Thanking you, Sir,
Yours faithfully,

Subject: Confederation
of Audit and Accounts Employees and Officers Organisations demands
implementation of VII CPC report without discrimination towards Organised
Accounts Departments and IA&AD.
Sir,
I
am to draw your attention to 7th CPC Report contained in Para 11.
12. 137, reproduced below, in which the issue of parity in pay scale of Senior
Accountants and Assistants of CSS have been dealt with.
“The
Commission, in Chapter7.1 has already taken a view with regard to pay level of
Assistants of CSS. The recommendation there in will settle the parities as have
been sought to be established”.
The
Commission has also elaborately discussed about grant of higher pay scales to Assistants
in Chapter 7. 1.4. (j) displaying a table showing how after initial acceptance of CPC reports the
government increased pay scale of Assistants belatedly. The action on the part
of the government is arbitrary and discriminatory treatment has been meted out
to other similarly placed employees discharging the same nature of duties and
responsibilities.
The
Revised pay Rules 2016 mentions about non acceptance of lower pay scale
recommended by the Commission. However, the Revised Rule is silent about parity
in pay scale suggested by the Commission in Chapter 11.12.137. Non upgradation
of Pay scales of Senior Accountants of Organised Accounts Departments and
IA&AD would result in discrimination. It is pertinent to mention here that
IV, V and VI CPC recommended same pay scale for Assistants of CSS and Senior
Accountants of Organised Accounts Departments as well as for Indian Audit and
Accounts Department and initially government accepted the recommendations and
implemented too.
The
Staff Side, JCM agitated over upgradation of pay scale of Assistants without
extending the benefit to the Sr. Accountants / Sr. Auditors and Accounts
Assistants of Railway Accounts. After a prolonged discussion in JCM (NC)
disagreement was recorded and the matter was referred to Central Board of
Arbitration. The Board had given Award in favour of Staff Side in August 2004.
The matter is still pending with the government for implementation.
Incidentally
it may be mentioned that direct recruitment in posts of Assistants is one out
of six vacancies (Para-32, page 92 of III CPC Report). In Organised Accounts
80% posts of Accountants and Auditors are direct recruits with minimum
educational qualification of Graduate. Accountants and Auditors are feeder posts
for Senior Accountants/Senior Auditor. No Accountant/Auditor is eligible for
promotion to next level without passing Departmental Examination.
The Supreme Court has upheld the claim of
parity for Senior Auditors with Assistants of CSS in case of S.K.Salarya and
others V Union Government through CGDA.
It
is a matter of disgrace that in a democratic country, the government ignores
Rules framed by itself to deprive legitimate claims of a section of its own
employees, despite eligibility established by expert bodies like pay Commissions, Judiciary and
SIU and Administrative Staff College,
Hyderabad(Para 15 page 8 &9 of III CPC Report).In job rating the Assistants
scored 556 points whereas the UDCs now auditors/ accountants) in IA&AD were
awarded 563 points.
I
therefore, request you to accept the recommendation of VII CPC to maintain parity
in pay scales of Accounts Assistants of Railways and Senior Accountants of
Organised Accounts Departments and Sr. Auditors/Sr. Accountants of IA&AD
with Assistants of CSS by upgrading the Grade Pay from GP 4200 to GP 4600 and
quell the resentment being generated amongst the former against arbitrary
decision of the government.
Accountants and Auditors
Further,
your attention is sought on recommendation contained in Chapter 11. 62. 15
wherein grant of GP 4200 is recommended for posts where direct recruitment
through CGLE is involved in the form of written examination and interview,
both. In the Railway Accounts, Junior Accountants with graduate qualification
are recruited through Railway Recruitment Board to the extent of 80% of posts,
involving written examination and interview, both. Therefore, GP 4200 has to be
granted to the Junior Accountants for fitment in Revised Pay scale of 2016.
Traditional
parity in pay scale of organised accounts cadres and IA&AD has been all
along maintained and accordingly the GP 4200 should be granted to the Auditors
of Defence Accounts, Accountants of Civil Accounts, postal Accounts, Telecom
Accounts and Auditors / Accountants of IA&AD to maintain traditional
parity.
This
time, a detailed implementation order carrying details of pay scales, fixation
formula etc. in respect of all the categories of cadres have not been issued
from the department of Expenditure leading to doubts amongst the personnel. It
is requested that like earlier years a detailed order may please be issued by
the Department of Expenditure.
Thanking
you,

Subject: Grant of Grade Pay 5400/- to
Assistant Accounts Officers/ Assistant Audit Officers on completion of 4 years
of service as recommended by the 7th COC.
Ref: Revised Pay Rules 2016 relating to
personnel working in IA&AD and Organised Accounts Departments.
Sir,
The Government
of India has referred to DOPT to examine the recommendations made by the
Commission in respect of Assistant Accounts Officers of Defence Accounts
Department and Railway Accounts Department.
In this respect your attention is invited on the following excerpts from
the 7th CPC.
Chapter
11.12 138 They have contended that the existing parity between Assistant
Account Officer(AAO) of organised accounts cadre and Section Officers of CSS
was disturbed by granting Non Functional upgradation to GP 5400(PB-3) after 4
years of service to the later. They have stated that in the original scheme of
things, Section Officer (A)/ Assistant Accounts Officer of organised accounts
were also included for non functional upgradation to GP 5400(PB-3) after 4
years as evident from English release dated 14 August, 2008 of Press
Information Bureau. Para 10(V) of this English release reads “Government has
continued the present position of granting group ‘A’ scale to group ‘B’
Officers after 4 years of service and these officers would be placed in PB-3
instead of PB-2 recommended by the VI CPC. This would benefit Group B officers
of Railways, Accounts Services, CSS, CSSS and DANICS and DANIPS.”
Analysis and Recommendations
11.12.139 The Commission
notes that non functional upgradation from GP 4800 to GP 5400(PB-3), on
completion of 4 years of service, has been accorded to a number of posts by the
Government in 2008 viz., Delhi and Andaman & Nicobar Islands Civil Service,
Delhi and Andaman & Nicobar Islands Police Service, Officers of the Central
Secretariat Service and those of Central Secretariat Stenographers Service as
well as other similarly place Head Quarter Services. This has also been
extended to Group ‘B’ Officers of the departments of Post & Revenue. While
extending this benefit, Officers in GP 4800, both in Head Quarters and in the
field formations of these two organisations have been covered. In 2015, this
benefit was also extended to Section Officers in the Indian Coast Guard.
The
seventh CPC in Chapter 11. 12. 140 and Chapter 11. 40. 83 have stated as under:
“11. 12. 140 the
Commission is therefore of the view that there is no justification for
excluding officers in the organised accounting departments who are at GP4800
from this dispensation. It therefore recommends that all officers in organised
accounts cadres ( in the Indian Audit and Accounts Department, Defence Accounts
Department, Indian Civil Accounts Organisation Railways, Post and
Telecommunications) who are in GP 4800 should
be upgraded, on completion of four years’ of service to GP5400 (PB-2),viz.,
Pay Level 9, in the pay matrix.
“11. 40 83 “In line with our recommendations
for organised accounts cadres, it is further recommended that employees in GP
4800 should be upgraded on completion four years’ service, to the existing
GP5400 (PB-2), viz. Level 9 in the Pay Matrix, on a non-functional basis”.
From the above
it is evident that the Cabinet had already approved grant of GP 5400 in 2008,
to the AAOs of Organised Accounts Departments and IA&AD. However, it was
erroneously denied by some unscrupulous bureaucrats while issuing the Revised
Pay Rules 2006 which was effective from 01. 01. 2006.
This
Confederation therefore urges upon you to cause early action to report to the
appropriate authorities to accept the recommendation of the VII CPC which has
given the justification of recommending the grant of revised pay scale in
unambiguous term as quoted above.
Thanking you,
Yours
faithfully,

Dear friends,
The
imaginary strike balloon (ballot) melt in vapor soon after the government
issued warning of taking stern action against the strikers. From the date of
adoption of decision to organise strike to press for resolution of 11 point
charter of demands to deferment of date of serving of strike notice on illusory
application of election code of conduct and till final postponement of strike
date, the leadership of NJAC demonstrated juvenile character in handling of a
serious matter like negotiated settlement of demands arose out of 7th
CPC recommendations. People are disappointed to find out that the
representatives of the NJAC did not even try to know from the Ministers about
the recommendations of the ‘Empowered Committee’ and the reason(s) for rejection
of the same by the government. It is understood that the Gazette Notification
on implementation of the CPC recommendation is likely to be issued without any
material change in the CPC recommendations.
This
may be the first instance that a Central Pay Commission Report could not be got
modified by the staff side though the recommendation is lowest in past 70
years. The government remained impervious to genuine pleas of the staff side
for modification in fitment formula and minimum wage. The JCM system has been
turned into mockery by the NDA government.
This
Confederation decided to support the decisions taken by the NJAC on issues
related to demands of the staff side and called upon its confederated
Federations to prepare the members for the strike, as and when situation arises.
We also apprised them about the weakness of the leadership of NJAC in
organizing any industrial action, especially for the major Railway Federations,
as, they have not organised any significant industrial action after 1974
Railway Strike. Similarly, All India Audit and Accounts Association, a
constituent of Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers,
compelled their members to submit apology letter with an undertaking of not to
resort to any such action in future when CAG’s administration wanted to take
disciplinary action against employees for participation in one day’s mass
casual leave program. We understood the vagueness of decisions of such
organisations in this respect.
The
issues identified by the NJAC, on which they pretended to organise strike, were
genuine and we have supported the same. However, appointment of ‘High Powered
Committee’ (HPC) to examine only two of the eleven point of the charter of
demands and Staff Side's agreement to
wait for report of the so called committee
tantamount to surrender to the altar of anti- employees’ policy of
autocrats. . We may have to organise
Audit and Accounts Organisations for a serious action oriented program to
ensure desired modification in implementation orders of the CPC recommendations,
wherever it remains inadequate. Our past experience is that for Organised
accounts and IA&AD, even the cabinet approved benefit of maintaining parity
between AAOs and the Section Officers of CSS were suppressed by the Central
Secretariat bureaucracy.
We
welcome the CAG’s decision to consider the departmental promotes for the posts
of AAOs as direct recruits in the posts, for MACP benefit. We have taken up the
matter with Railway Board to extend the same benefit to Section Officers of
Railway Accounts Department and requested the Defence Accounts Association to
demand similar facility for AAOs there.
Please
keep watch on the gazette notification to be published soon and scrutinize the
same carefully to find out the areas of improvements needed to safeguard
interest of audit and accounts personnel.
With
greetings,
Fraternally
yours,

CONFEDERATION OF AUDIT & ACCOUNTS EMPLOYEES & OFFICERS’ ORGANISATIONS
15/1093, VASUNDHARA, P.O. VASUNDHARA-201012
Ref: Confd. /
Cir-6/2/16 Date: June 26, 2016
Dear friends,
As mentioned in circular dated
12. 06. 2016, we are reproducing certain important recommendations made by the
7th Central Pay Commission for information of interested members. It
is also felt necessary to point out contradictions / aberrations in certain
recommendations relating to Audit and Accounts cadres.
The 7th CPC has, like earlier Central Pay Commissions,
divided the Accounts into un organised Accounts staff and Organised Accounts
staff. The recommendations for unorganized Accounts staff have been placed in
Chapter 7.7.3 to 7.7.5. We are not placing these Chapters in this circular as
these are not directly affecting the Organised Accounts staff.
In Organised Accounts and IA&AD, the personnel working in
Electronic Data Processing (EDP) are performing very important job. Special
skills are involved in every level of EDP job from DEO to System Analyst/
programmer etc. The VII CPC has done a disservice to this important branch of
modern accounting process by leaving it to DOPT and recommended replacement pay
scales of existing pay scales in Chapter 7.7.22. The Confederation shall take
up the matter with the government and all the Heads of departments of organised
accounts including the CAG of India to ensure grant of higher pay scales based
on application of knowledge in computer operation and ERP system.
The 7th CPC has, in Chapter 11. 12. 134 discussed about
Organised Accounts staff, specifically about Senior Auditors and Assistant
Accounts Officers working in Defence Accounts Department and cited the demands
made in respect of the organised accounts cadre of the Ministry of Defence by
the Confederation of Defence Recognised Association.
Senior Auditors
Chapter 11. 12. 135 They have
contended that Senior Auditor of Organised Accounts cadres have traditionally
been at par with Assistants and that the existing parity between them has been
disturbed by the government upgrading the level of Assistants from GP 4200 to
GP 4600, while Senior Auditors remains at GP4200. To advance their case, they
have stated that a job evaluation of the Audit staff of IA&AD and
Assistants of CSS carried out by Administrative Staff College , Hyderabad at instance of III CPC, gave higher job
rating to Auditors than Assistants of CSS.
Chapter 11. 12.136 In 1984, the government bifurcated the Audit
cadre of IA&AD into Auditors (20 percent) and Senior Auditors (80 percent)
and granted the pay scale of Assistants of CSS to Senior Auditors. The IV CPC,
had, after above consideration, taken the view that there should be broad
parity in the pay scales of the staff in IA^AD and other accounts
organisations. The recommendation of IV CPC was accepted by the government and
implemented w .e.f. 1. 1. 1986 for audit and 1st April 1987 for
accounts in case of IA&AD and other Accounts Departments and Senior
Auditors have been given same pay scale of Assistants of CSS.
Analysis and
Recommendations
11. 12. 137 The Commission, in Chapter7.1 has already taken a view
with regard to pay level of Assistants of CSS. The recommendation there in will
settle the parities as have been sought to be established.
Assistant Accounts
Officers
11. 12. 138 They have contended that the existing parity between
Assistant Accounts Officers (AAO) of organised accounts cadre and Section
Officers of CSS was disturbed by granting Non Functional upgradation to GP5400
(PB-3) after four years of service to the latter. They have stated that in the
original scheme of things, Section Officer ( A )/Assistant Accounts Officer of
organised accounts were also included for non functional upgradation to
GP5400(PB-3) after four years as evident from English dated 14 August, 2008 of
Press information Bureau. Para 10 (v) of this English release reads “Government
has continued the present position of granting Group’‘ A’ scale to Group ‘B’
officers after 4 years of service and these officers would be placed in PB-3
instead of PB-2 recommended by VI CPC. This should benefit Group ‘B’ officers
of the Railways, Accounts services, CSS, CSSS and DANICS and DANIPS.
Analysis and Recommendations
11. 12. 139 The Commission notes that non-functional upgradation
from GP4800 to GP5400 (PB-3), on completion of four years of service, has been
accorded to a number of posts by the government in 2008 viz. Delhi and Andaman
and Nicobar Islands Civil Service, Delhi and Andaman and Nicobar Islands police
Service, Officers of the Central Secretariat Service and those of Central
Secretariat Stenographers Service as well as other similarly placed Headquarters
Services. This has also been extended to Group ‘B’ Officers of the departments
of Posts and Revenue. While extending the benefit, officers in GP 4800, both in
Headquarters and in the field formations of these two organisations have been
covered. In 2015, this benefit was also extended to Section Officers in the
Indian Coast Guard.
11. 12. 140 the Commission is therefore of the view that there is no
justification for excluding officers in the organised accounting departments who
are at GP4800 from this dispensation. It therefore recommends that all officers
in organised accounts cadres ( in the Indian Audit and Accounts Department,
Defence Accounts Department, Indian Civil Accounts Organisation Railways, Post
and Telecommunications) who are in GP 4800 should
be upgraded, on completion of four years’ of service to GP5400(PB-2),viz.,
Pay Level 9, in the pay matrix.
Ministry of Railways
Accounts
11.40.79 The employees
of Accounts Department maintain the books of accounts and render financial advice.
The cadre structure is as follows:
Designation
|
Grade Pay
|
Sr. Section Officer/ Travelling Inspector of
Accounts/ Sr. Inspector of Stores Accounts
|
4800
|
Accounts Assistant (AA)
|
4200
|
Jr. Accounts Assistant (JAA)
|
2800
|
Accounts Clerk (AC)
|
1900
|
11.40.80
Direct entry to
the cadre is at the levels of Accounts Clerk (AC) and Junior Accounts Assistant
(JAA). The stipulated minimum qualification for direct recruitment at AC level
is Class X along with typing speed of at least 30 words per minute, while that
for level of JAA is graduation. Accounts Clerks are also promoted to JAAs after
qualifying an examination (referred to in the Railways as “Appendix IIA “examination).
This examination is held at the level of Railway Zones. The residency period
for JAAS is three years after which they are promoted to Accounts Assistants
(AAs). To move upwards to the next level (which consists of Senior Section
Officer/Senior Travelling Inspector of Accounts/ Inspector of Stores Accounts).
AAs have to qualify an all India level examination (called “Appendix IIIA”) for
which Acs, JAAs as well as AAs are all eligible. This examination is centrally
conducted by the Ministry of Railways and is rather stringent.
11. 40 81 Representations
received from this cadre bring out a peculiar problem. Subsequent to the
acceptance of the VI CPC recommendations, there are several cases of a junior
drawing higher GP than the senior. An example has been proffered to highlight
the situation. Senior S joined service as AC in 1981, while Junior J joined
service in the same level of AC in 1986. Both cleared the Appendix IIA
examination after four years in service and were promoted to JAA in 1985 and
1990 respectively. After putting in one more year of service, i.e. in 1986 and
1991 respectively, both cleared the Appendix IIIA ( i.e. after completion of residency period of
three years). Later when vacancies of SSO arose in 1992, both S and J were
promoted as SSO. Ten years down the line, both were considered for upgrade
under MACP. however, since S had already availed of three promotions, he was
ineligible for upgradation under MACP Scheme and remained in GP 4800, but since
J had received only two promotions, he was upgraded to GP 5400(PB-2) through
MACP. This has resulted in a situation where in junior is placed in a higher GP
than the senior purely on circumstantial grounds. It is reported that there are
about 250 such cases.
Analysis and
Recommendations
11. 40 82. The Commission
finds merit in the contention that the above has led to an anomalous situation.
It is therefore recommended that in cases where a senior employee has cleared
both Appending IIA and Appending IIIA examinations before the junior, and
purely through circumstances the junior is drawing higher GP, the anomaly
should be fixed by stepping up the pay of the senior employee vies- a- vies the
junior, and then fixing the senior employee in the pay Matrix.
11. 40 83 In
line with our recommendations for organised accounts cadres, it is further
recommended that employees in GP 4800 should be upgraded on completion fours’
service, to the existing GP5400 (PB-2), viz. Level 9 in the Pay Matrix, on a
non-functional basis.
INDIAN AUDIT & ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT
Auditors/Accountants
11. 62. 14 It
has been demanded that the pay scale of Auditor/ Accountant may be upgraded
from GP2800 to GP 4200. It has been stated that the recruitment to the post of
Auditor/ Accountant by promotion from
clerks/typists under seniority quota, promotion under examination quota and direct recruitment through a Combined
Graduate Level Examination (CGLE) conducted by the Staff Selection Commission.
It has also been pointed out that their job profile demands greater
audit/accounting skills which justify higher pay scale.
Analysis and
Recommendations.
11. 62. 15 the
Commission notes the CGLE is held for recruitment for different posts in GP
2800 and GP 4600. This examination consists of written examinations and
interview. A candidate is given the choice to appear only in written
examination or both- written examination
and interview- depending upon the post for which he/she is
applicant.applicants who have to clear both the written examinations as well as
the interview are eligible for recruitment for posts carrying higher grade pays
GP 4200/GP 4600. Applicants who do not have to clear the interview and are
selected only on the basis of written examinations are placed in GP 2800.
Although Auditors/ accountants are selected through CGLE, they are selected only
on the basis of written examination. The commission therefore, recommends
replacement pay levels for Auditors/ Accountants.
Senior Auditors/ Senior Accountants
11/ 62. 16 It
has been demanded that Senior Auditors/ Senior Accountants may be upgraded from
GP 4200 to GP 4600. It has been argued that Senior Auditors/ Senior Accountants
and the Assistants in Central Secretariat Service (CSS) were placed in same GP
4200 by the VI CPC. However the Ministry of Finance, in 2009, ultimately
upgraded thee Assistants of the CSS to GP 4600 w.e.f. 01. 01. 2006. Therefore
Senior Auditors/ Senior Accountants should also be upgraded to GP 4600-to
restore parity provided by the VI CPC.
Analysis and
Recommendations
11. 62. 17 The
Commission notes that VI CPC had observed that the government had never
conceded the principle of parity between Assistants of CSS and Senior Auditors
/ Accountants in various organised Accounts Departments including IA&AD.
The Commission is of the view that posts belonging to two different services performing
distinct functions cannot be treated at par merely for the reason of being at
identical pay scales at some point of time. The Commission, therefore,
recommends normal replacement levels for the Senior Auditors/ Accountants.
Assistant Audit/Accounts Officers (AAOs), Audit /
Accounts Officers (AOs) and Senior Audit/ Accounts Officers (SAOs).
11. 62. 18 Their
hierarchy is as under:
Name of Post
|
Existing pay structure
|
Demanded Pay Structure
|
Rationale given
|
Senior Audit / Accounts Officers
|
GP 5400 (PB-3)
|
GP 7000
|
Parity with Deputy Secretaries
of Central Secretariat Service
|
Audit/ Accounts Officers
|
GP 5400 (PB-2)
|
GP 6600
|
Parity with under Secretaries of
Central Secretariat Service
|
Assistant Audit/
Accounts Officers
|
GP 4800
|
Upgrade after four years to GP
5400 (PB-2)
|
Parity with posts in Department
of Revenue/ Department of posts where GP5400 (PB-2) is granted after four
years.
|
11. 62. 19 It
has been pointed out that when an AO is promoted as SAO after considerable
period, the promotional benefit is just one increment in the same GP 5400. It has been stated that the promotional
channel available to SAOs and AOs is induction to Indian Audit and Accounts
Service (IA&AS). The Prescribed eligibility criteria are 5 years of
combined regular service as SAO or AO and age below 53 years at the time of
induction. It has also been stated that
the number of vacancies for promotion as Assistant Auditor General is limited,
which restricts the number of promotions to less than one percent of the total
sanctioned strength of SAOs and AOs each year.
Analysis and
Recommendations
11. 62. 20 as
far as the demands of above listed cadres on the grounds of parity with other
cadres is concerned, the Commission has already expressed its views earlier in
the Chapter. However, the Commission notes that SAOs are the feeder cadre for
induction into IA&AS. It is also noted that both SAOs and the entry level
pay scales of IA&AS is GP 5400 (PB-3). There is no scope therefore for
enhancing the pay scales of AAO/AO and SAO, which are feeder cadres for AO/SAO
and IA&AS, respectively. In this backdrop, the Commission recommends
replacement pay levels for AAOs, AOs and SAOs.

11. 12. 140
the Commission is therefore of the view that there is no justification for
excluding officers in the organised accounting departments who are at GP4800
from this dispensation. It therefore recommends that all officers in organised
accounts cadres ( in the Indian Audit and Accounts Department, Defence
Accounts Department, Indian Civil Accounts Organisation Railways, Post and
Telecommunications) who are in GP 4800 should
be upgraded, on completion of four years’ of service to GP5400(PB-2),viz.,
Pay Level 9, in the pay matrix.
|
11. 40 83 In line with our
recommendations for organised accounts cadres, it is further recommended that
employees in GP 4800 should be upgraded on completion fours’ service, to the
existing GP5400 (PB-2), viz. Level 9 in the Pay Matrix, on a non-functional
basis.

11. 62. 20 as far as the demands

concerned, the Commission has already expressed its views earlier in the Chapter.
However, the Commission notes that SAOs are the feeder cadre for induction
into IA&AS. It is also noted that both SAOs and the entry level pay
scales of IA&AS is GP 5400 (PB-3). There is no scope therefore for

NB.
The Commission has recommended Grade pay of 5400 in PB -2 for AAOs and
Sr. Section Officers’.
For Sr. Auditor, Sr. Accountants and Accounts Assistants, the Commission
has recommended parity in pay scale with Assistants of CSS.
For JAO, Auditor and Accountants the Commission has recommended GP4200.
PENSION
The Pay Commission has dealt about entitlement of
Pension and began with demands made by stake holders in Chapter 10. 1. 53.
Analysis and Recommendations.
10. 1. 54 the
Commission is of the view that the issue of parity in pensions is extremely
important from the view point of inter-temporal equity and merits a careful
examination.
10.1.55
Treatment of Existing and Past Pensioners over the time: The concerns of
pensioners’ associations and of individual pensioners on the issue of
disparities in pensions amongst broadly comparable retirees, has been dealt
with in reports of successive CPCs and also by the government. This is detailed
in successive paragraphs.
10. 1. 56 Till the III CPC, it was general view that
past and future pensioners cannot be treated at par and the practice was that
benefit of improvement in the pension would be available to newly retiring
pensioners from a prospective date. In fact the III CPC took the view that
serving government employees and pensioners could not be treated at par as
regards grant of DA at the same rate. A significant change in the paradigm for
treatment of pensioners, past and future, emerged from the judicial
pronouncement in D. S. Nakara vs Union of India in 1982 (AIR 1983 SC 130),
based on which, for the first time, improvements in pensioner benefits were
extended to the pensioners who had retired prior to the date from which
improvements became effective.
The Commission has discussed on
recommendations made by the IV, V, VI CPCs and judicial pronouncements regarding
parity in pension between past and future pensioners in Chapter 10.1.57 to 10.
1. 65. The Commission considered that substantial increases in pension, across
groups, during a span of between 20 and 25 years have taken place by giving
some illustrations in Chapter 10. 1. 64. This claim of the Commission is not
justified in case of group C and Group B personnel.
10. 1. 66
recommendations of the Commission: For employees joining on or after 01. 01.
2004, the concept of pension, so far as Civilian employees including CAPFs are
concerned, undergone a complete change. After the enactment of the Pension Fund
Regulatory and Development Act, 2013, it is not the exclusive liability of the
government to pay pension. As per the new dispensation the employees and the
government are to make equal matching contribution towards their pension. This
dispensation is not applicable to the defence forces personnel. They continue
to get the defined benefit pension as before. In this section the Commission is
dealing with Civilian pensioners under the old pension scheme i.e. those who
joined before 01. 01. 2004.
10. 1. 67. The
commission recommends the following pension formulation for civil employees
including CAPF* personnel, who have retired before 01. 01. 2016. (* Central Armed
Police Force).
i) All the
civilian personnel including CAPF who retired prior to 01. 01. 2016 (expected
date of implementation of the Seventh CPC recommendations) shall first be fixed
in the Pay Matrix being recommended by this Commission, on the basis of the Pay
Band and Grade Pay at which they retired, at the minimum of the corresponding
level of the matrix. This amount shall be raised, to arrive at the notional pay
of the retiree, by adding the number of increments he/she had earned in that
level while in service, at the rate of three percent. Fifty percent of the
total amount so arrived at shall be the revised pension.
ii) The second
calculation to be carried out is as follows. The pension, as has been fixed at
the time of implementation of the VI CPC recommendations, shall be multiplied
by 2.57 to arrive at an alternate value for the revised pension.
iii) Pensioners
may be given the pension of choosing whichever formulation is beneficial to
them.
Regarding other
important recommendations having a bearing on affects on audit and accounts
personnel another circular shall be issued soon.
This
Confederation made its efforts to highlight the problems, through the
Memorandum submitted to the VII CPC to remove the major hindrance in getting
parity with Central Secretariat Services. The recommendations of this
Commission have acceded to our views considerably. The politically motivated
associations wanted to deprive our ranks from getting MACP benefit to reach the
pay scales of AAOs/AOs demanding creation of two more cadres between Sr.
Auditors/ Sr. Accountants and the AAOs. Acceptance of their suggestion could
have been fatal for audit and accounts cadres.
This
Confederation was formed with a declared policy to uphold and protect the
interests of Audit and Accounts personnel and we have already achieved some of
our targets. The more the employees come out of their traditional inhibition of
loyalty to out dated dogma of Fifteenth ILC; their chance for getting a higher
living condition will be brightened. We call upon the employees, who are
without us, to know what was the demand and performance of their leaders/organisations
before the VII CPC and what prevented
them to live up to the need of
the members’ interest. We reassure you that we shall continue to carry forward
our Endeavour to clinch all the demands of the personnel working in Organised
Accounts departments and IA&AD earnestly with cooperation of you all.
Arise,
awake, and Stop not till the goal is reached.
With
warm greetings,
Fraternally
yours,
(A.

Secretary General
NB. As per media
reports, the cabinet will approve CPC recommendations for implementation on 29th
June 2016.
