My blog readers are
already aware that recently the Hon’ble Bombay High Court set aside a judgement
and order dated 16-04-2013 of the Central Administrative Tribunal, Mumbai Bench and allowed my
request for treating the effective date of MACP of the 6th Central
Pay Commission as 01-01-2006 instead of 01-09-2008 as fixed by the DOPT under
the Ministry of Personnel, Public
Grievances and Pensions. For details, go to blogs:- https://www.centralemployeesnews.manjaly.net/2018/10/macps_9.html &
However, I would like to invite your attention to a much more important issue – i.e., the utter failure of
the Comptroller and Auditor General of India in its Constitutional obligations.
CAG is bestowed with some
important duties under the Constitution of India. Under Article 149, read with
Section 13 of the CAG’s DPC ACT, 1971, it is the duty of the Comptroller and
Auditor-General of India to audit all expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of
India and of each State and of each Union territory having a Legislative
Assembly and to ascertain whether the expenditure conforms to the authority
which governs it.
Now the question comes,
how the CAG ascertained the expenditure related to MACP is conformed to the
authority which governs it? It is very clear on the face of the record as
already mentioned in my Representation dated 26-11-2010 routed through the CAG
and now confirmed by the Supreme Court and the High Court that the
implementation date of MACP is from 01-01-2006 and not from 01-09-2008 as implemented
through the OM issued by DOPT. If the CAG audited it properly, this illegality could
have been pointed out and such a complication could have been avoided. Instead of
such real issues, CAG is after bogus, fictional, politically instigated audit
objections as I already mentioned in my published book, “A FRAUD IN THE INDIAN
CONSTITUTION”. (To read free part of e-Book, go to the

Finally, what is the result of
this irresponsible audit of the CAG? Now the work done after the 6th
Pay Commission Implementation including the 7th Pay Commission Implementation
has to be rewritten. Not only that of the currently working employees, but that of the
retired and died persons after the 6th Pay Commission. Approximately
there are 1 crore serving and retired employees together. So how many man-days are
required to rectify the additional work caused by the said OM and by the
irresponsible audit (in spite of my pointing it out in the year 2010 in writing)?
Apart from the
Constitutional duty of audit, CAG is also entrusted with a consultation power
under Article 148(5) before any service condition is made for those employees working
under him. So if this consulting power is used properly, instead of giving it
in a routine and mechanical manner without application of mind, this simple
mistake with Himalayan effect could have been avoided. Again CAG exposed its inefficiency in doing its duty to the nation and as usual, going after bogus, fictional,
unrealistic and fake audit objection (at the cost of genuine ones) mostly politically
instigated as illustrated in my book. (Part II of the book is nearing completion covering many departments and entities involved in scams but hushed up).
