I got one MACP upgradation (2nd) on completion of 10 years service in the grade of Tax Assistant in the grade pay of Rs. 2800 w.e.f. 07.07.2013. The grade pay of 2800/- does not belongs to my promotional hierarchy. Recently I saw CAT/High Court/Supreme court order for granting MACP on promotional hierarchy.

As on date I have completed 27 years of my service but in mes my pay has been fixed in pb 1 with grd pay 1900 while joining to mes org I was in the pay scale of rs 5000-150-8000 and my basic pay was rs 5450.

  5. Sir,

    I joined MES (Military Engineering Services), as an LDC on 10 Feb 1984. During June, 1984 I appeared in a Competitive Exam for Steno Gde III as a departmental candidate. As per the prevailing Recruitment Rules (RRs) at that time, I was ‘promoted’ instead of recruited afresh as a direct recruitment after conducting a DPC.

    Further, I as result of implementation of 4 Grade structure in MES, I was promoted as Steno Gde-II wef 05 Jun 1992 and since then (about 21 years till date) I am stagnated on the same position and have not earned any promotion or ACR/MACP etc. despite meritorious services. As per that time’s RRs of MES “the post of Steno-III is to be filled by promotion from LDCs, failing which by transfer and failing both by Direct Recruitment”.

    DOP&T vide OM No. 35034/1/97-Estt(D)(IV) dated February 10, 2000 in response to Query No. 8 as to whether Steno Gde-III inducted from amongst LDCs should be treated as ‘Direct Recruitment’ or not, has clarified that induction of LDC to the aforesaid grade (Steno-III) through Limited Departmental Competitive Exam may be treated as direct recruitment for the purpose of benefit under ACPs.

    May you please confirm to me, where do I stand and what is my entitlement in view of above. In fact I am feeling very aggrieved when my juniors are getting Grade Pay of Rs. 4600/- and I am getting only Rs. 4200/- as also I am not in a position to apply for the post of Private Secretary outside on deputation basis.

    I shall highly obliged for an early response.

    Thanks, Vipin Khanna

  6. Sir,
    I am a Graduate Trained Teacher. My 3rd MACP has been debarred on the graound that I have refused the promotion to the post of Post Graduate Teacher. Whereas the vertical promotion of a GTT is of Middle school Headmaster which I have not been offered so far.
    Since the Post Graduation is a mandatory requirement for promotion as PGT and it is done by the willing teachers on his own expenses, promotion to the post of Post Graduate Teacher is an additional opportunity for GTT.
    Please clarify if MACP can be barred for refusing the promotion as PGT for which additional qualification is required.

  7. I am retired employee of the office of the development commissioner for handicrafts and was having the grade pay of Rs.6600 and was due for 3rd Macp in the grade of Rs 7600.The department has not granted the macp because of benchmark not being verygood,keeping aside the office memorandum No.35034/3/2008-Estt(D)(VOLII)dt4.10.2012.Moreover I was in the pay scale of 15600-39100 in PB-3 and having more than thirty years of service at back .

  8. I have filed an Original Application OA/145/2013 before the Hon’ble CAT Bombay Bench at Mumbai,challenging the constitutional and legal validity of the Office memorandum issued by DOPT to change the effective date of MACPS fixed, by the Government Resolution as 01/06/2006 to 01/09/2008. Preliminary hearing was held on 22/03/2013. It is adjourned to 16/04/2013 for further hearing.

  10. I am submitting herein under my MACP problem. Please first read out the situation and events as listed below then post your suggestion/comments.
    1. I got enrolled as recruit General Duty in Assam Rifles at the pay scale of Rs. 175/-in 1983
    2. I become rifleman general duty after passing out my basic training on 21 Jan 1984 and my pay fixed at Rs. 195/-.
    3. Subsequently on 21 Dec 1985 i re-mustered to the Lance Naik Writer (One of clerical cadre) (Please under stand this is an appointment and not promotion) at the pay scale of Rs 210/-. The hierarchy of clerks at this point of time was as:- RIFLEMAN CLERK( LANCE NAIK WRITER)-NAIK CLERK- HAVILDAR CLERK-NAIBSUBEDAR CLERK- SUBEDAR CLERK – SUBEDAR MAJOR CLERK
    4. 4th CPC introduced wef 01-01-1986. Pay scale in respect of AR personnel which was on ARMY ANALOGY IN 3RD CPC ceased and new pay scale granted as per other CPOs. No differences in general duty cadre and clerical cadre’s pay scale after 4th CPC as it was existing in 3rd CPC.
    5. I was PROMOTED to the rank of NAIK CLERK wef 09 Mar 1989 at the pay scale of 950-20-1100.
    6. On 1-1-96 5th CPC introduced and rank of NAIK in all CPOs merged with HEAD CONSTABLE (or u can say that pay scale of Naik and Head constable/Havildar MERGED) wef 10 Oct 1997. Accordingly I merged in the rank of HAVILDAR CLERK wef 10 Oct 1997
    7. Meanwhile Govt of India introduce the rank of WARRANT OFFICER CLERK in respect of clerks only who were Havildar Clerk on 10 Oct 1997. Hence the all clerks promoted to HAVILDAR CLERKS prior to 10 Oct 1997 were promoted to rank of WARRANT OFFICER CLERK in pay scale of 4000-100-6000. Hence on 10-10-1997 hierarchy of clerks cadre become as RIFLEMAN CLERK-HAVILDAR CLERK-WARRANT OFFICER CLERK- NAIBSUBEDAR CLERK- SUBEDAR CLERK – SUBEDAR MAJOR CLERK
    8. RECRUITMENT RULES framed in respect of all ranks of Assam Rifles in 2001.
    9. I got PROMOTED to the rank of WARRANT OFFICER CLERK after meeting the requisite qualitative requirements (QR) as per recruitment rules 2001 on 30 Nov 2002.
    10. On 29 Oct 2002, Govt of India approved that with immediate effect the ENTRY LEVEL OF CLERKS IN ALL CPMF WILL BE AS HAVILDAR CLERKS at the pay scale of Rs. 3200-85-4900. All the existing RIFLEMAN CLERKS were promoted/upgraded to the rank of Havildar clerks notwithstanding the other qualitative requirements prescribed in the RECRUITMENT RULES. EVEN ONE YEAR OLD RIFLEMAN CLERK also become a Havildar clerk. Hence on 29 Oct 2002 hierarchy of clerks cadre become as HAVILDAR CLERK-WARRANT OFFICER CLERK- NAIBSUBEDAR CLERK- SUBEDAR CLERK – SUBEDAR MAJOR CLERK

    10. On RESTRUCTURING THE FORCE IN 2003, the following hierarchy in clerk cadres approved by the MHA and still going on as HAVILDAR CLERK- NAIBSUBEDAR CLERK- SUBEDAR CLERK – SUBEDAR MAJOR CLERK
    11. The existing Warrant officer clerks who were qualified as per recruitment rules 2001 for promotion to the rank of Naib Subedar Clerks in bulk (it may be treated on abolish the rank of warrant officer clerk they merged to the rank of Naib Subedar Clerk). Herein may please be noted that as per Govt of India policy that on re-structuring or introduction of new pay commission the amendment in recruitment rules where necessary may please be carried out within six months by the respective departments. However in Assam Rifles the case was not taken up with MHA for two years after restructuring the force for amendment in recruitment rules.
    12. On 29 Apr 2006 necessary amendment notified by the Govt of India and all existing warrant officer clerks were promoted to the rank of Naib Subedar Clerks.
    13. In 2008 6th CPC introduced wef 01 Jan 2006 and MACP allowed wef 01 Sep 2008 by the GOI.
    NOW MY QUESTION IS THAT AS I HAVE COMPLETED 25 YEARS OF SERVICE AS ON 01 SEP 2008 MAY I REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION:-
    I) WHETHER FOR GRANT OF MACP, PRESENT HIRERACHY TO BE TREATED MY INITIAL RANK AS HAVILDAR BY IGNORING THE PAST PROMOTION/UPGRADATION AS RIFLEMAN CLERK/LANCENAIK WRITER AND NAIK CLERK OR NOT, BY IGNORING ALL PREVIOUS PROMOTION/UPGRADATION BETWEEN RIFLEMAN TO HAVILDAR.
    II) SINCE RANK OF WARANT OFFICER CLERK HAS BEEN ABOLISHED IN 2003 AND NOT PART OF PRESENT HIERARCHY WILL BE COUNTED FOR GRANT OF MACP OR NOT IN RESPECT OF PERS WHO WERE PROMOTED TO THE RANK OF WARRANT OFFICER CLERK PRIOR TO 2003.
    III) PROTECTION OF PAY IN RESPECT OF SENIOR EMPLOYEE IN EVENT OF GRANT OF MACP AS PER FR 22 IS CORRECT OR NOT.
    DOPT IS REQUESTED TO CLARIFY THE SAME
