History of Association

  • There was no association in the national level for ventilating the issues / difficulties, being faced by the Chief Accounts Officers [Group-A General Central Service (Ministerial)] in various formations. Many of them are facing acute hardship towards end of their service career, being posted away from their home zone, on promotion. Particularly the lady officers had expressed their agony over the fact and urged that they should be accommodated in the home zone, even by temporary diversion of vacant posts of other zone.
  • It is also felt that in absence of proper duty list, Chief Accounts Officers (CAOs) at different zones are tasked with the functions of Drawing and Disbursing Officer (D.D.O.) or even Administrative Officers which are meant for Group-B posts. They are denied of their legitimate space in the administration, despite the fact that Chief Accounts Officers plays an integral role in the financial operation of the Chief Commissioner Offices and Commissionerate Offices in the both formation of CGST & Customs.
  • At the policy level, it was unequivocally felt that Chief Accounts Officers should get further financial up-gradation to Level-11 (pre-revised Grade Pay Rs.6600 in PB-3). It is also appreciated by the CAOs present in the meeting that more than 50% of the Chief Accounts Officers would serve the post for a period of more than at least 4 years. It is rankingly painful for them to continue in the same post whereas their juniors in the other cadre are getting the career progression.
  • After a threadbare discussion in several meetings, it was felt that an organization be formed at the national level to ventilate the issues of Chief Accounts Officer to the appropriate levels of administration. It was expressed by one and the all that because of absence of any legitimate platform, we are not able to properly address our issues and thereby is missing out on various fronts. We also not promote our common service interest. The need for a service association was thus felt necessary.
  • Ultimately, it was unanimously decided to form an association namely “All India Customs, CGST and Directorates Chief Accounts Officers’ Association” in the historically meeting (hybrid mode) of 9th April, 2023 at Samrat Hotel, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi-110021 by the following Chief Accounts Officers (CAOs) : -
