ACTION AGAINST PCDA(O) PUNE
Petitioning: indian army officer's pay & allces to be handled by regional CDA & not by PCDA(O
Petitioner: Rohan saxena started on June 16, 2016
PCDA(O) PUNE IS A CENTRAL ORG THAT DEALS WITH PAY AND ALLCES OF INDIAN ARMY OFFRS. IT IS SUPPOSED TO ACT AS A FACILITATOR TO ARMY OFFRS POSTED IN ACTIVE FIELD AREAS. HOWEVER PCDA(O) IS WELL KNOWN FOR CAUSING FINANCIAL HARASSMENT OF OFFRS AT ALL LEVELS. THE SATISFACTION LEVEL OF OFFRS TOWARDS THE FUNCTIONING OF PCDA(O) IS VERY LOW ACROSS THE BOARD. THERE IS NO STANDARD DOCUMENTATION PROCEDURE BEING FOLLOWED AT PCDA(O). THE PAY AND ALLCES OF OFFRS ARE LYING AT THE MERCY OF GOVT CLERKS WHO ARE ABSOLUTELY INAPPROACHABLE.
OFFRS KEEP TRYING TO CALL UP THEIR OFFICE IN PUNE BUT THE PHONE IS NEVER ANSWERED BY THE CONCERNED DEPARTMENT EVEN ONCE. EITHER THE PHONE IS NOT ATTENDED OR SOME RUDE CLERK ATTENDS THE CALL AS IF DOING A FAVOUR TO US. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 100 PHONE NUMBERS BUT NONE OF THEM IS ATTENDED. IT SEEMS AS IF NOBODY IS WILLING TO WORK TOWARDS THE BENEFIT OF ARMY OFFRS. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO VISIT PUNE EVERYTIME I NEED SOME CLARIFICATION ON MY ACCT ? WHY IS THERE SO MUCH OF DELAY IN GIVING US WHAT WE DESERVE? AND IF THERE IS DELAY, THEN WHY IS IT NOT GIVEN TO US WITH INTEREST?
JUST IMAGINE THE STATE OF MORALE OF OFFRS POSTED IN ACTIVE FIELD AREAS IF THEY ARE CONTINUED TO BE HARASSED BY CIVIL CLERKS. WE ARE MERE PUPPETS IN THEIR HANDS AS FAR AS OUR HARD EARNED PAY IS CONCERNED.
THE MONTHLY PAY SLIPS THAT WE GET ARE SO AMBIGUOUS THAT WE CANNOT MAKE OUT AS TO WHY THE MONEY WAS DEDUCTED FROM THE SALARY. THEY DEDUCT WHENEVER AND WHATEVER THEY FEEL LIKE WITHOUT BEING LIABLE TO OWE AN EXPLANATION TO US. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN INDIA IS BECOMING DIGITAL THEN WHY PCDA(O) NEEDS SO MANY PAPERS FOR PASSING CLAIMS OF OFFRS?
THIS ORGANISATION OF PCDA(O) IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWED IN ITS FUNCTIONING AS WELL AS HIERARCHY. THERE SHOULD NOT BE A CENTRAL ACCT ORG FOR HANDLING ALL THE ACCTG OF OFFRS BECAUSE:-
(a) BEING A CENTRAL ORG THEY BECOME INACCESIBLE.
(b) THE ONLY WAY TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM IS EITHER PHONE OR ONLINE GRIEVANCES, WHICH ARE NOT RESPONDED TO.
(c) NOBODY KNOWS WHAT TO DO SINCE IT WOULD TAKE DEDICATED EFFORT, TIME AND MONEY TO SPECIALLY VISIT PCDA(O) PUNE DURING LEAVE.
IT IS HIGH TIME THAT PCDA (O) IMPROVES ITS WAY OF FUNCTIONING AND SUCH ILL TREATMENT OF ARMY OFFRS. AFTER ALL WE ARE WORKING FOR THE NATION'S CAUSE AND SUCH LAPSES IN THE PAY AND PERKS LEAVES THE OFFRS IN A STATE OF DISAPPOINTMENT. ARE WE NOT SUPPOSED TO GET OUR CLAIMS AND PAY WITHOUT HASSLES? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO SPEND MY TIME AND MONEY TO RUN BEHIND CLERKS SITTING IN THEIR COMFORT ZONE IN PUNE AND ENJOYING THE BENEFITS OF A METRO CITY? AFTER ALL I'M ASKING FOR WHAT I'M ENTITLED TO, AND ON TIME. YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW HUMILIATING IT IS TO BEG FOR MY OWN SALARY. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW THE PEOPLE OF PCDA(O) WOULD FEEL IF EVERY MONTH THEIR SALARIES ARE DEDUCTED IRRATIONALLY AND IF THEIR QUERIES ARE NOT ANSWERED TO, FOR SEVERAL MONTHS? WOULD THEY EVEN FEEL LIKE WORKING IF THEY DO NOT GET PAID?
I WANT THAT GOVT TAKES NECESSARY STEPS TO ABOLISH CENTRAL PCDA(O) AND ADOPT A SYSTEM OF REGIONAL CDA AS IS FOLLWED BY OUR SISTER SERVICES. IMAGINE THE SATISFACTION LEVEL OF OFFRS IF THERE CLAIMS ARE SETTLED WITHIN A MONTH. THIS WOULD ALSO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF UNNECESSARY PAPER WORK BEING GENERATED DUE TO LACKADAISICAL ATTITUDE OF PCDA(O) CLERKS. PL SIGN THE PETITION TO ABOLISH SUCH POOR PRACTICES OF PCDA(O).
