Sir,
It is very disturbing and ironical that Account Assistants who have qualified the
Subordinate Accounts Course-1 (SAC-1) are still not being promoted till date despite
repeated pleas and requests made by the qualified/eligible employees. It needs no
repetition that the delay in the timely promotion of the Account Assistants' have left the
various vacant positions for AAOs' unfilled in the Finance department. It is worthwhile
to mention here that SAC-1 was held in the month of March, 2021 and the results were
declared in the month of June, 2021 & thereafter various assurances from Director
General Accounts and Treasuries were given in order to promote the Account Assistants
to their next level cadres but nothing substantial materializes on ground zero in this
perspective up till now. However, many employee delegations have already met with
the authorities concerned but very unfortunately our long pending demand of
promotion has not been given due recognition. It has been more than a year now since
the results were declared for SAC-1 by the J&K Public Service Commission but as of now
our plight remains unaddressed. It is very sad state of affairs that our pleas and requests
have been overlooked and disregarded till date for the best reasons known to the
authorities at the helm of affairs. I would like to make a humble appeal to the worthy DG
Accounts & Treasuries to kindly look into this matter and promote all eligible Account
Assistants (Clerks) who are eagerly waiting from the last more than 14 months after
having qualified the mandatory SAC-1 Examination.
