    Received 1st MACP wef 01.05.2008
    Received NFSG in 4200 grade pay wef 01.022013
    Got promoted in 4600 grade pay in October 2013 without increment only received grade pay difference 4600-4200 = 400
    Office is counting 1st MACP and NFSG as two promotions and denied 2nd MACP. they will give 3rd MACP in 2023 if not promoted. Please guide. My colleagues who have not got NFSG have received 2nd MACP in 1.5.2018. Whether NFSG is to be counted for purpose of MACP. please guide.

    • Since you got three upgradations of basic pay so up to retirement no upgradation in your basic pay. NFSG also one upgradation.
