JOINT ACTION COMMITTEE OF
ACCOUNTS & AUDIT EMPLOYEES & OFFICERS ORGANISATIONS
TAMIL NADU

WISHES YOU ALL
A HAPPY, SUCCESSFUL AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR-2010

Dear Comrades

          All of you might be aware that how under the Fourth and Fifth Pay Commissions Accounts and Audit Employees and Officers were treated badly and only through sustained struggle by all the Audit and Accounts Staff that we were able to achieve parity with Central Secretariat from 19-02-2003 for Sr.Auditors / Sr.Accountants / Accounts Assistants and next higher Grade for other Cadres. How ever there was no improvement in the pay Scales of AOs and Sr.AOs. Now the Sixth CPC is no different and the discriminations still persist.
          The Apex JAC utilized the opportunity of presenting Oral evidence before the Sixth CPC and the delegation led by Com. S.K. Vyas was successful in forcefully presenting the justification for parity in Pay scales with Central Secretariat. All the Members of Pay commission were fully convinced of the fact that when ever the previous Pay Commissions extended parity , the same had been disturbed by the Government by granting higher scales outside the Pay Commission. Contrary to this personal acknowledgement, in its Report the Sixth CPC claimed that the Government never conceded Parity and gave only identical pay scales under different circumstances. The Report was accepted and implemented by the Government.
Now in the same old fashion, the Finance Ministry has granted Grade Pay of Rs.4600/- to the Assistants and Stenographers of Central Secretariat w.e.f 01-01-2006 outside the Pay Commission disturbing the parity in Pay Grades between the Central Secretariat cadres and the Organised Accounts and Audit Cadres and totally disregarding the recommendation of 6 CPC to grant absolute parity between similarly placed personal employed in field offices and in the Secretariat..
          Apart from this, ignoring the recommendations of VI CPC vide Chapter 3, Government has denied the legitimate Grade Pay of Rs.4200/- to Accountants/Auditors/Junior Accounts Assistants. By placing the LDCs/Accounts Clerks in Grade pay of Rs.1900/-, they have almost been equated with Group D Staff now rechristened as Group C with a Grade Pay of Rs.1800/-. The above ignominy has to be fought tooth &nail.
          The different authorities of Accounts and Audit Organizations are reluctant to consider the issue of Grant of higher Sale and Group-A status to AO/SAOs and recommend for Grant of parity between the Accounts/Audit Cadres and Central Secretariat Cadres.
          The implementation of MACP has added insult to the injury. The scheme has lost its purpose and has served as a tool to the Authorities to divide the staff by enabling the Juniors to get placed in  higher Grades leaving the Seniors to languish. In this regard, the JAC is demanding Stepping up of Pay for the Seniors and Grant of ACP as per departmental hierarchy.



             In the Apex JAC Meeting held on 8th December 2009 at Delhi, after thorough deliberations unanimously concluded that the Accounts and Audit Employees and officers are not having any other alternative but to resort to industrial action against the discrimination. The considered opinion of the Apex JAC is that the proposed industrial action should take place in the 1st half of March 2010.
          The Apex JAC further decided that to prepare the employees and officers for an industrial action, effective campaign programme should be taken up such as:
          1. Campaign Week from: - 4th to 8th January 2010 :- Campaign week shall be observed from 4th to 8th January 2009. During this week, membership shall be mobilized by organizing different programmes like floor meeting Gate meeting, Lunch lour meeting etc. (Campaign material shall be circulated by the apex JAC)
          2.  Demands Day on 21 – 01 – 2010 :- On this day all Units/Branches shall submit charter of demands in the from of memorandum to the local heads of the Department after a massive lunch hour demonstration.
           In order to adopt the resolutions passed in the Apex JAC Meeting, the local JAC met on 30th December 2009. It has been decided to give thrust to the activities of JAC and prepare for a sustained and united struggle by all the employees of Organised Audit and Accounting organizations in order to restore the lost pride, prestige and dignity of the Audit and Accounts Employees and Officers by getting the higher Grade Pay for all Grades as per the Charter of demands already placed.
          It has been decided to observe the Campaign Week from 5th to 12th of January as per the following time table.
