            The meeting took the stock of the situation with reference to the call given for observance of Awakening Day on 15/02/2011. The reporting received so far by Apex JAC indicates that the programme has been implemented in select stations only.

            As far as the issue of implementation of Arbitration Award on grant of higher pay scale to Sr. Accountants/Auditors with effect from 01.01.1986 is concerned, the meeting noted that through the matter was placed in the Parliament during monsoon session of 2010, it could not be tabled in the Parliament by the Government due to the intervention of Com. Basudeb Acharia, M P. Loksabha and also due to disruption of Parliament in the winter Session. It is expected that in all likelihood it would be introduced in the budget session of Parliament for rejection.

The meeting observed that, though the demand of grant of higher pay scale has been met with effect from 01.01.1996, but it is necessary to continue persuasion for settlement of this issue in the form of implementation of arbitration award to avoid danger of downgradation of status and Pay Scales of Accounts and Audit Cadres in future. The meeting therefore, decided that the issue shall be pursued.

            The meeting also reviewed the status of Charter of Demands adopted by apex JAC and decided that on the following issues views of the Constituent organisations- after discussion in the respective decision making forums - may be sought for taking a final call.

1. The demand “implement arbitration award on pay scales” may either be taken out of the charter of demands and pursued separately placed appropriately in the re-oriented charter of demands (furnished below).
2. The JAC may focus on core/functional issue of Accounting and Auditing Organizations as the system is facing grave threat from the executive by holding a National Convention and through wide campaigns etc demanding Functional Independence to Audit & Accounting organisations. The issue of demanding “functional integration” may also be discussed and opinion there-on may be communicated.

The Apex JAC shall meet at Hyderabad on 11^th April 2011. It is requested that every constituent organisation communicate their views on the above proposal before 11^th April 2011.

With warm greetings,

(V.Bhattacharjee)
