Subject:- request for settlement of long pending demands of Accounts and Audit Employees and Officers.
Sir,
The 6th Central Pay Commission did not do justice to Accounts and Audit Employees and while implementing the recommendations of 6th Central Pay Commission, Government of India also did not also take any favorable action to remove the injustice done by the pay Commission. The Accounts and Audit employees have been consistently requesting the Government of India to resolve the grievances of the Accounts and Audit Employees regarding their pay scale related issues. But the Government has created further disparity between the Accounts &Audit cadres and the Cadres in Central Secretariat by upgrading the pay scales of Central Secretariat cadres.

Also, there are various other issues – listed below- pending for long with resolution. The employees and officers of IA&AD and Organised Accounts are agitated over the non upgradation of pay scales of Audit & Accounts Cadres at par with CSS and also over the inaction on other long pending grievances.

It is requested that, appropriate action for negotiated settlement of all the demands may kindly be taken at an early date.

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,

Encl: charter of demands Circle Secretary
