I joined the department as a preventive of fficer on 21st February 1992 and got promoted in the grade of supdt on 23rd September 2002. I was placed in the grade pay of Rs. 5400/- wef sept 2006. I was retired from service on superannuation wef 30th 2016 with out any promotion/any financial up gradation. In this connection I request you to clarification whether iam Eligible for macp after competion of 10 years from the date of my last promotion I. E 23rd September 2002.
Mukut Das says
I joined Central University in the pay scale of Rs.4000-6000 on 01.10.1996. Again, after technical resignation, I joined present department in the same scale on 18.8.1997. I got 1st MACP w.e.f. 1.9.2008 as per MACP order dtd. 19.5.2009.i.e. after 11 years 11 months. Neither I had got ACP after 12 years of regular service i.e. from 1.10.2008 nor I got MACP after 10 years of service w.e.f. 1.10.2006 and thereby I faced loss financial for 1 year 11 months. Not only that, if I had got 1st ACP w.e.f. 1.10.2008, my pay would be fixed at Rs.5500/- to 8000/- and 2nd MACP at corresponding Grade pay of Rs.4600/- w.e.f. 1,10.2016.
Recently, I had seen in the DoPT website ( DOPT>Home>Employees Corner>FAQ at Sl. No. 32) in the downloaded FAQ at Sl. No. 12 ( point of doubt) as follows:- “Whether the cases of grant of financial upgradation allowed under the ACPS between 01.09.2008 and
19.05.2009, the date of
issue of the Scheme are
be reviewed?
In the Clarification column, it is mentioned -: “Yes. Since the benefits of ACPs have been discontinued w.e.f. 01.09.2008, the cases settled between 01.09.2008 and 19.05.2009, IN TERMS OF PREVIOUS ACP SCHEME SHALL BE REVIEWED.”
Now, my question are :-
i) whether I am eligible to get 1st ACP as on 01.10.2008 as I have completed 12 years of service w.e.f. 1.10.1996?
ii) How, financial loss caused to me from 1.10.2006( i.e. after completion 10 years of service).to 31.8.2008 is to be compensated?
iii) Whether granting MACP after 11 years 11 months is against letter and spirit of DoPT OM wherein it is mentioned that MACP will be awarded after completion 10 years of regular service?
M.K.Kumar says
Wait for some time Army/Defence/Navy has got the MACP from 1/1/2006 so you will be benefited from 18/8/2007 as Ist MACP & 2nd MACP from 18/8/2017 with the terms of “VERY GOOD BENCH MARK”. Before that with the above terms now you will get 2nd MACP on 1/9/2018 as next matrix level changes. If ACP count next upgradations only on 24th years not 20 years so that it was abolished in 6th CPC and given whose who are not got, they may get upgradations of every 10 years.In the 7th CPC ( no pay scales) no promotion benefits only by MACP as next matrix level changes.
