Dear Comrades,
Accepting the request of the Central Committee to host the CWC Meeting at New Delhi, S/Sri. Ramesh kumar and Jogindar Babbar with the help of Office Bearers of AIRASA, Traffic Accounts, N Railway had made excellent arrangements for the smooth conduct of the CWC Meeting ON 15-07-2011 at Baraat Ghar in Railway Colony.
Sri. Ramesh Kumar, Secretary, Communications welcomed the delegates. The Meeting started with paying homage to Sri. P.M Balai, CWC Member and Sri. Mohanraj, Jt. Secretary, South Zone on their untimely demise. Sri. R.K. Saraswat, President, AIRASA presided over the Meeting and outlined the agenda of the Meeting and narrated the current position of the demands and the outcome of the detailed discussions had by the team of Central Office bearers led by him on 13th &14th July with Railway Board Officials on all the pending demands.
Sri. N. Srinivasan, General Secretary outlined the activities of Central office since the BGM held at Nagpur in November 2010. While giving the details of discussions with Railway Board Officials he said
1. that Railway Board has replied to the letter received from DOPT to point out the anomalies that has arisen out of grant of MACP which included the Supervisors drawing less than the supervised, promotion in the same grade pay etc., and a decision or reply from DOPT is expected soon.
2. Regarding calculation of 5% unqualified quota i.e Sr.AA posts in the combined strength of SO(A)s and Sr.SO(A)s, the PC Directorate is in favour and the Accounts Directorate is refusing to understand the genuine arguments put forth by the Association including the need for maintaining parity with other Organised Accounts and Audit departments. Matter is being pursued further.
3. As regards the improved Grade Pays for various Cadre EDPC took the details of our demand for Grade Pay of Rs.4200/- for JAAs and assured to pursue the same. The team argued that the demand is based on VI PC Report ( Chapter 7 & 3) and that the diploma engineers have been granted Rs.4200/- whereas the First Class Graduate JAAs are given only Rs.2800/-
4. The following issues were also raised during the discussions and reminders were submitted.
a. the demand for promotion of erstwhile Group D Staff now in Group C Status on seniority basis to the post of Accounts Clerk.
b. Change of designations on par with the Organised Accounts and Audit departments.
c. Reintroduction of Grant of increments for passing App. IIA, App.IIIA and IV Examinations.
d. Modification of Recruitment Rules for selection to the post of AAOs and submitted the copies of Recruitment Rules of other Organised Accounts and Audit which contains selection by seniority cum suitability only.
e. the issue of TIA/ISA group App III passed candidates waiting for promotion for more than 15 years.
f. the need for extending the Special Allowance to those ASVs who came from the Cadre of JAAs and granting of MACP to Stock Verifiers duly taking their combined service in AA and ASV cadre and requested for issue of clarifications in this regard.
Regarding Cadre Restructuring in Accounts department, he said that the following proposals have been placed before Rly Board.
a. To mitigate the grievance of Accounts Clerks stagnated in the cadre for want of vacancies in JAA cadre, AIRASA requested for change in the 80 : 20 pattern as 20 : 80 since there are no direct recruitments being made.
b. Similarly the ratio of ASVs : Sr. ASVs may be modified from the present 65 : 35 to 20 : 80 as large number of posts are in work charged posts under Sales Organisation which varies from year to year. At present virtually only 10 % are in Sr.ASV cadre.
c. The Sr.AAs cadre should be raised to 10% of merged strength of Section Officers on par with other Organized Audit and Accounts depts.
As for Group B Status to Senior Supervisors he said that the matter has been taken up through the Petitions Committee of Parliament Which is under process of obtaining the evidence from the Officers of Railway board at Bhubaneshwar in the second week of September 2011.
In the discussion that followed the following Central Office Bearers and CWC Members present participated. Smt. Ekta Gupta, WC Railway, S/Shri. Ashok Dwivedi, Nanoma, and Sudhakar of Western Rly, Rakesh Guptha of Northern Railway, Shajad Ahmad of EC Rly, Partha Bhattacharjee and Suryanarayana Rao of S E Rly, Ashish das of E. Rly, Kamaleshwar Chaturvedi of N E Railway, Somchand Bhringraj and B.K. Panda of S E C Rly. The achievement of AIRASA, Jullundhar Unit in arranging the payment of revision of Election duty honorarium to the tune of Rs.2.88 lakhs was appreciated by one and all. The highlights of the points observed in the Meeting included the following.
1. Lack of interest from the cadre in participation of activities of AIRASA was deplored and stress was made in strengthening of the Organisation in all the Railways particularly in places where there has been no activities at all. All Central Office bearers in the nearby areas were requested to help in mobilizing the support.
2. Zonal / Divisional Committees of AIRASA shall be reorganized and local issues of the members shall also be taken up with the Administration based on the merits of the case.
3. CWC Meetings/AGM/BGM should be organized in new places where Meetings have not taken place so far.
4. Demands / grievances taken up by the Central Office shall be popularized among the members by carrying the message person to person with due emphasis on the demands of ACs, JAAs and AAs being pursued by AIRASA.
5. The fight for Entry Grade Pay of Rs.4200/- for Accounts department (as being raised by technical cadres and Station Masters) should be taken serious and followed up.
6. The waiting period of 3 years for promotion to the next higher Grade in Accounts department should be revised as 2 years as implemented for other executive departments.
The General Secretary’s request to relieve him of the post in view of his domestic situation was debated without arriving at a solution.
Mr. Reji George, Secretary, Finance detailed the present financial position of the Association and said that no Unit/Zone has remitted the membership dues since the last BGM held at Nagpur in Nov’2010 and said that with the meager balance available it will be difficult to carry on the activities of the Association and urged the members present to take the matter serious and arrange for immediate remittance of the central portion of the membership collection.
Shri. Jogindar babbar proposed vote of thanks.
The CWC Meeting at NEW DELHI will be remembered not only for the detailed discussions and exchange of ideas but also for the hospitality shown by the volunteers of AIRASA, Northern Railway including S/Shri. Ramesh Kumar, Jogindar babbar, R.C. Khurana, J.K. Ahuja, Raj Kumar, Jai Prakash, O.P. Tiwari, Balvindu, Sunil Kumar, Rakesh Guptha , Ram Gopal Singh and Subash Chandra Marwal.

Yours faithfully,
(N.SRINIVASAN)

CWC MEETING AT NEWDELHI ON 15-07-2011
Dated 25th June 2011
Dear Comrades,
I am aware that majority of the members are upset and angry over the absence of any communication from the General Secretary for the past four months. During this period, although I have been in touch with many Office Bearers and enquiring/updating the position regarding our major anomalies over phone and internet, I could not communicate the same due to pressing domestic problems. You may be aware that Government and Ministry of Railways have not come forward to solve any of the VI CPC and MACP anomalies. All JCM/Anomaly Committee Meeting minutes are evidences to this. The position is the same as for our Accounts Cadre anomalies also. The present generation Officials of Railway Board do only lip service whenever the Office Bearers of AIRASA meet them and nothing fructifies. They are least bothered about the Group C & D Employees and their grievances and are not ready to consider, argue and put up to PC directorate of the Railway Board about the special nature of Accounts department where qualifying in departmental Examinations decide the elevation to higher Cadres. Our adversaries i.e Railway Board Secretariat Service Officials dominated Pay Commission directorate is bent upon rejecting all our genuine demands just by quoting the Rules without examining the lacunae pointed out by this Association. The latest being the Railway Board’s letter No. PC-V/2010/ACP/Misc/1 dated 12-05-2011 addressed to both the Federations rejecting our plea for treating promotion to JAA grade on passing the Appendix II Examination as per the Record Note on the II Meeting of the MACP Anomaly committee Meeting. There seems to be no progress regarding other demands also. The only way out to draw the attention of the authorities is to agitate vigorously. Unless we show the same Unity and Solidarity as we had shown between 1998 to 2003, we may not be able to get any of our anomalies rectified. In the circumstances, in order to decide next course of action, it has been decided to conduct the next Central Working Committee Meeting at Newdelhi on 15th July 2011 at 10.00 a.m. All the CWC members are requested to attend without fail and contact Shri. Ramesh Kumar, Secretary, Communications over Mobile No.09717644361 for Venue and accommodation.

RECORDED MINUTES OF MACP ANOMALY COMMITTEE MEETING
Dear Comrade,
The subcommittee constituted by the National Anomaly Committee to go into the anomalies in respect of MACP issues met at New Delhi on 15th Inst. Com. S.K.Vyas, President, Confederation attended the meeting as a member. The following is the outcome of discussion at the meeting.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally,

K.K.N. Kutty
Secretary General
Given below is the Record note on the meeting of Joint Committee on MACP held on 15.03.2011.
The third meeting of joint committee on MACP was held today i.e 15.03.2011. This meeting was held at the specific request by the Secretary Staff Side, National Council JCM to review the decision taken in the earlier meetings in which all items had been discussed.
Item Nos. 1,3,8,9 and 29: Grant of financial up-gradation in the promotional hierarchy instead of grade pay hierarchy under MACP Scheme
The Staff Side pressed this demand on the ground that the ACP 1999 had become a service condition in respect of all those who were in service as on 31st August 2008. The MACP Scheme being less advantageous could not be imposed upon them. They stated that to resolve this anomaly, the first 2 ACPs may be continued in the promotional hierarchy to be granted after 12 and 24 years of service from the date of induction, the third ACP on completion of 30 years service may be in the grade pay hierarchy. The official Side did not agree with this proposal. The Staff Side then pointed out that the introduction of MACP Scheme in grade pay hierarchy 10, 20, 30 years of service from the date of induction will result that certain cadres would be placed in the grade pay which are not sanctioned in the structure of the departments and therefore it can not be treated as career progression at all. The official Side wanted the particulars of those cadres which are going to face this problem, so that they could consider how to overcome such anomalies. The Staff Side agreed to provide the necessary information and departments concerned may also be asked to provide such information.
Item Nos. 2, 10 and 48:
The Staff Side also pressed for introducing MACP Scheme with effect from 1.1.2006 so that those who did not get any benefit under old ACP could at least get the MACP scheme benefit before their retirement during the period from 1.1.2006 to 31.8.2008. The Official Side stated that this item has been closed and concluded and can not be allowed to be opened / reviewed. The Staff Side then stated that they would like to raise this issue in the meeting of National Anomaly Committee as the joint Committee on MACP Scheme is sub committee of the National Anomaly Committee. The Official Side stated that this may be raised as afresh item in the National Anomaly Committee.
The Staff Side also wanted that the option to choose ACP or MACP should be given to the individual employees and not the Department. The Official Side also did not agree to reopen this issue which has been concluded in the last meeting.
Item No. 57: Ignoring the placement of Artisans of Ministry of Defence from HS grade II to HS grade I for the purpose of MACP Scheme.
The Staff Side pointed out that this restructuring by keeping 50% of Artisans in the HS grade I and placing 50% in the HS grade II was by way of placement and therefore it could not be treated as promotion. The Staff Side cited Supreme Court ruling to this effect. However the Official Side did not agree with this. The case of restructuring in IA & AD in 1984 and in organized accounts were also cited in which it was clearly stated that those who are in the higher grade would be treated as placement only those who are promoted later on against vacancies would be treated as promotion. The official Side view was that only in those cases where the entire cadre is placed in the higher pay scale it would not be treated as promotion. This matter will also have to be raised in the meeting of National Anomaly Committee.
Items Nos. 11, 15, 22, 39, 47 and 51: Promotion in identical Grade Pay.
The decision that the normal promotions are in the same grade pay, they cannot be ignored for purpose of MACP Scheme and the specific cases would be examined separately.
Item Nos. 12, 30 and 49: Employees appointed limited competitive examination from lower to higher post may treated as direct recruits in the higher post ignoring the service in the lower posts.
The matter is still being considered with reference to old ACP scheme clarification.
Item Nos. 13, 32, 38, 44, 50 and 58: Counting of old service in the new establishments for the purpose off MACP. And Item Nos. 21, 27, and 28: Benchmark for financial up gradation under MACP.
Orders have been issued on 1.11.2010.
It was agreed that action taken statement would be finalized and circulated so that further discussion thereon can take place in the meeting of National Anomaly Committee.

Delhi Visit
Dated 2nd March 2011
Dear Comrades,
In order to follow up the pending demands with the newly taken over Addl. Member, Finance, ED-PC 1 and other Railway Board Officials, I along with Sri. PARTHA BHATTACHARJEE, Working president camped in New Delhi from 21st to 23rd February’2011. We had fruitful meetings and detailed discussions with Railway Board Officials and submitted reminders on all the pending demands.
1. Regarding the anomalies in MACP, though we had already brought to the notice of the Officials about the Recorded Notes on the MACP anomalies committee meeting held on 15-09-2010 issued by DOPT, so far papers have not yet been initiated by Railway Board. The Addl. Member, Finance assured to look into the papers and initiate action on our demand for treating the promotion as JAA on passing Appendix IIA Exam as Recruitment. We also met Hon’ble M.P Sri. Ravindra Kumar Pandey for his intervention in this regard and he assured to raise the issue through a question in LokSabha.
2. On our demand for calculating the Sr.AA posts as 5% of on the combined strength of SO(A)s and Sr.SO(A)s since both the cadres have been merged by pay Commission, File is under process for reconsideration based on the copies of letters issued by Ministry of Finance in respect of Civil Accounts Staff submitted by us during our earlier visit.
3. We reiterated the demand for promotion of erstwhile Group D Staff now in Group C Status on seniority basis to the post of Accounts Clerk and the officials agreed to examine the matter. We also demanded modification of Recruitment Rules in this regard.
4. Regarding Cadre Restructuring in Accounts department, we placed the following proposals.
a. To mitigate the grievance of Accounts Clerks stagnated in the cadre for want of vacancies in JAA cadre, AIRASA requested for change in the 80 : 20 pattern as 20 : 80 since there are no direct recruitments being made. The proposal was well received and the Accounts directorate Officials promised to initiate papers in this regard.
b. Similarly the ratio of ASVs : Sr. ASVs may be modified from the present 65 : 35 to 20 : 80 as large number of posts are in work charged posts under Sales Organisation which varies from year to year. At present virtually only 10 % are in Sr.ASV cadre.
c. The Sr.AAs cadre should be raised to 10% of merged strength of Section Officers on par with other organized Audit and Accounts depts.
We submitted reminders on the following issues.
a. For change of designations on par with the Organised Accounts and Audit departments.
b. Reintroduction of Grant of increments for passing App. IIA, App.IIIA and IV Examinations.
c. Modification of Recruitment Rules for selection to the post of AAOs and submitted the copies of Recruitment Rules of other Organised Accounts and Audit which contains selection by seniority cum suitability only.
d. On the issue of TIA/ISA group App III passed candidates waiting for promotion for more than 15 years , reminders have been submitted to give adhoc promotions as available in CAG’s Offices and the officials were also requested to give directions to all the Zonal Railways to create additional posts of TIAs and ISAs.
e. Improved VI PC Grade Pays in respect of Accounts Clerks, JAAs, AAs, FPEs, Typists and Stenoraphers.
f. We also insisted the need for extending the Special Allowance to those ASVs who came from the Cadre of JAAs. We also pointed out that many Railways are not granting MACP to Stock Verifiers duly taking their combined service in AA and ASV cadre and requested for issue of clarifications in this regard.
Group B Status to SO(A)/TIA/ISA.
We expressed our anguish over non affording of Group B Status to SO(A)/TIA/ISA to top Railway Board Officials and requested them to have a fresh look into the issue since the demand is based on the upgradation of these posts to the Scale of Rs.7500-12000 by the VI PC vide para 7.56.9. The matter has been taken up through the Petitions Committee of Parliament also with the recommendation of a Lok Sabha M.P.
