RESOLUTION-1
The General Body of this Association held at ………………………………. On 02/03/2022, unanimously resolves to express its deep concern and strong protest
over the unfair provisions in the notification of Recruitment Rules of AAO of
IP & TAFS Group ‘B’ and subsequent rejecting the demand for modification in
the same. The Recruitment Rules framed for the Accounts and Finance Serviceare
against the interests of very personnel of Accounts and Finance Cadres in the
Department of Posts and Telecom. The Association has been repeatedly
requesting for modification in the RRs of AAO Cadre and grant of 40% SCF quota
promotion in the AAO cadre to SAs, along with two other modifications. It
is also painful that Association is repeatedly demanding to conduct special
audit/investigation on the mass irregularities of various nature in LDCE of AAO
held in July -2018, but the Department is hesitant to do the same, instead it
is going ahead to form panel for granting AO promotions to many ineligibles and
provisionally promoted AAOs. Many irregularities have been communicated to the
Department by Association from time to time.It would be quite relevant to
mention here that due to such injustice and stubborn attitude of the
Department, about 65 Court cases have been filed by various affected
officials/stakeholders. The Department
must accept and understand the agony of the stakeholders and initiate action
for redressal instead of forcing litigation.
As per notification the examination was conducted in
July 2018, in which various irregularities at mass level were noticed, which
were brought to the notice of the Department by the Association through its letters.
About 50 Court cases were filed by the applicants of infamous examination on
the irregularities committed in the examination to seek justice. In addition to
Court cases about 4000 RTI applications were also sent to the Department.
Hon’ble CAT Hyderabad permitted the Department to declare the result
provisionally, subject to the outcome of the pending OA.
Department is moving ahead to conduct a fresh
examinationof LDCE- 2022 for AAO Cadre of IP&TAFS Group- B to recruit about
225 posts,for which notification has been issued on dated 15.02.2022, ignoring
the directions of Hon’ble Courts and the fact that the Recruitment Rules 2018
is sub-judice. This has resulted in wide
spread resentment amongst the entirety of the Accounts fraternity.
To quell the wide spread resentment, The General Body
resolves to demand the following corrective measures –
1. No further examination
should be conducted, till the Recruitment Rules of AAO is subjudice.
2. Conduct a
thorough investigation by an independent investigating agency on the mass
irregularities done in LDCE -2018 of AAO Cadre, to establish the transparency
and fair play.
3.
Fill up all the vacancies in AAO cadre from among
Sr. Accountants and other staff available in PAOs and Telecom Accounts on SCF
basis, modifying the RRs of AAO.

RESOLUTION - 2
The General Body of this Association held at ……………..…. on 02/03/2022, unanimously express its deep concern and its strong protest over
the unilateral reduction of 407 posts of LDC Cadre and 1113 posts of
JA/SA Cadre as communicated vide PA Wing letters dated 23.12.2021 &
30.12.2021 respectively. Whereas the posts of AAOs are kept static at 771 and a
proposal is there to increase 111 posts of Sr. AO/AO at the cost of above
reduced posts. The abolition of Gr. C post and Gr. B (non-gazetted) posts are
detrimental to the interest of staff of PAOs and the existence of PAOs itself,
as reduction of manpower in such a large number would make PAO a lean
organization. It is neither in the interest of staff nor in the interest of the
Department of Posts. Proposal submitted by this Association has been totally
ignored. The recommendations of the Lobo committee are in fact another back
door attempt to decentralize PAOs at Divisional/ROs level, due to which massive
resentment is brewing amongst the staff, and any such unilateral decisions will
be opposed through Trade Union Action.
The Postal Board on many occasions has assured to this
Association that the Postal Accounts will not be decentralized. With the advent
of modern information technology in the Department of Posts, the need for any
such physical deployment of Accounts and Audit personnel is obliterated. It is
also not out of place to submit that the decision to abolish 1520 posts of LDC
& JA/SAs Cadre in the name of rationalization of cadre, has been taken at
the back of the Staff Side. Such a large-scale abolition of posts in the feeder
cadres will further weaken the PAOs which are already reeling under acute
shortage of staff.
No Cadre review should be disadvantageous and deprive
existing privileges enjoyed by officials, but the above proposals are against
the interest of the officials of PAOs. As per the new Cadre review proposal, it
is proposed to post DAs and AASs at the Division/ RO level. The functioning under
CSI environment is based on the maker and checker concept and to post both at
one place under the same supervisory authority would not be healthy and won’t
yield desired results as it will lead to coercive methods of approval on wrong
doings. It is worth noting that the experiment made earlier in this direction
was shelved as it proved disastrous. Association is of the view that the roll
of PAO should be strengthened in CSI environment and all the modules related
with PAO should be rolled out.
The Accounts and Audit independent functioning is the
first requirement to be ensured for free and fair financial advice and control.
Under CSI environment also this principle should not be sacrificed.
This General body strongly objects to the unilateral
proposal of Cadre review by the committee and request the Secretary (Posts) to
cause action for a dialogue with the Staff Side. This General body requests to-
1. De-link
the Cadre review of Gr. ‘C’ & Gr. ‘B’ (non-gazetted) with restructuring of
PAOs.
2. Stop
downsizing of PAOs in the name of rationalization of posts.
3. Up-gradation
of LDC as Accounting Assistants should be done as proposed/accepted earlier by
the PSB in 2012.
4. We
oppose large scale surrender of 407 LDC and 1113 JA/SA posts & Change in
nomenclature of the posts. It is urged for re-distribution of posts of JAs/SAs
etc without matching savings as was done in CAG.
5. We urge
to consider and incorporate staff side views on Cadre review / Restructuring of
PAOs submitted on 14.02.2022 while finalizing the cadre review upto Sr.
Accountant.

RESOLUTION-3
The General Body of this Association held at ………………………………. on 02/03/2022, unanimously express deep
concern and anguish over the agony and anxiety of the officials who have been
forcibly sent to PAO Vijayawada for working there for one year as per the order
of the PA Wing dated 15.11.2019. It has been assured by Sr. DDG (PAF), Member
(P) and Secretary (P) to the CHQ of this Association that the Staff would be
repatriated to Hyderabad as and when new recruitment takes place.
It is very painful that contrary to the assurances given and the conditions
laid down in the transfer orders, the authorities at Circle level are refusing
to entertain the idea of repatriation, as till today only 14 unwilling
officials have been repatriated back to PAO Hyderabad, though about 50 new LDC
& JA have joined PAO Vijayawada through SSC and under Rule- 38 transfer. It
would be quite relevant to mention here that 13 Dossiers’ of LDC for 2019 has
been allotted to Vijayawada, and about 10 officials from operating wing have
given their willingness to work at PAO Vijayawada on deputation basis.
The General body of this Association requests the Secretary (P) to cause issuance
of instructions to complete the process of repatriation of all the remaining unwilling
officials and resolve other issues that have arisen out of bifurcation of PAO
Hyderabad.
