There is difference between promotion and macp .Hence there ought to be a different criteria for each of their consideration of eligibility And the letter being a mere financial upgradation the same same parameter can not be appliedas that is prescribed for a most strong consequential promotion .Its based on common logic .
If The pay comm. erred and put a stringent parameter it is the govt to to come to the rescue of its employees and do away the injustice and should not insist blindly on this unbalanced and illogical provision .But the official side has no gut to bring this fact to the govt out of fear and the ensuing wrath of this govt which is very ruthless and intolerant and blindly follows the IMF directives
