MODIFIED ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION SCHEME (MACPS) FOR THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES
MODIFIED ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION SCHEME
FINANCIAL UPGRADATION SCHEME FOR CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
FINANCIAL UPGRADATION SCHEME FOR CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
What is the Necessity for MACP to Emulate ACP’s Promotional Hierarchy?
For a number of years, Federations have been demanding that employees who had not been given promotions for 10, 20 or 30 years be given promotions or upgradations by MACP (Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme) on the basis of their respective Promotional Hierarchy. The Government refused to oblige by stating very clearly in the 6th CPC that promotions will be given only on the basis of Grade Pay Hierarchy.
There are no such recommendations in the ACP Scheme (Assured Career Progression Scheme), which was introduced by the 5th CPC. In fact, there was not even a Grade Pay format in its Pay Structure. There was also no usage of ‘Hierarchy’ in it. A lot of confusion was created after the introduction of the Grade Pay Structure by the 6th CPC.
Two distinct hierarchies were created – Promotional Hierarchy and Grade Pay Hierarchy.
Promotional Hierarchy is based on the pay structure depending upon the employee’s grade and department. Two employees with similar designations and ranks, but in different departments, will notice this difference. This is not applicable to everybody.
On the other hand, Grade Pay Structure is common for all. This is the reason why there are differences between an employee who gets promotions under the regular system and one who gets promotion under MACP. In order to rectify this discrepancy, a number of employees had approached the courts and had succeeded.
This would become clearer with this example:
Let us assume that an LDC employed with a Central Government office under a promotional hierarchy of 1900-2400-4200. Regular Promotion is given on this basis only.
If the employee has not been given a promotion for 10 years, then, instead of the next Grade Pay of Rs. 2400, he will be given a grade pay hike of Rs. 2000. Instead of Rs. 4200 Grade Pay, he will be given Rs. 2800. This is the reason for all the confusion.
But, the point to be observed here is that it was granted on the basis of Promotional Hierarchy, introduced by the ACP of the 5th CPC.
Let us also look at the explanation given by the Government.
Only those who haven’t received any promotion for 10 years are given promotions or upgradations under MACP. Pay fixation is done based on 3% increment and the differences between Grade Pay. If the employee gets a regular promotion a month after getting pay fixation, then, the difference in the Grade Pay will be calculated on the basis of his entitlement and given immediately. The intention of the scheme was to remove the anguish of the employees who weren’t given any promotion for more than 10 years.

Government has notified the new ACP SCHEME for Central Government Employees as recommended by the Sixth Central Pay Commission...
The Scheme would be known as " MODIFIED ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION SCHEME (MACPS) FOR THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES.
The Government has considered the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission for introduction of a MACPS and has accepted the same with further modification to grant three financial upgradations under the MACPS at intervals of 10, 20 and 30 years of continuous regular service.
The scheme would be operational w.e.f. 01.09.2008. In other words, financial upgradations as per the provisions of the earlier ACP Scheme ( of August, 1999) would be granted till 31.08.2008.

Whether I will get my due upgradation w.e.f 16/03/2007 on completion of ten years of regular service in a grade or w.e.f 01/09/2008
ACP Grade Pay. Please clarify.
upgradation w.e.f 1/10/2007 on completion of thirty years of regular service or w.e.f 01/09/2008 & what will be my next grade pay ?
This policy is made to make fool to the lower staff ,who could not get promtoion due to departmental faults. Due to tehcnical fault, department has failed to give promotion timely, employees will suffer. Simply a LDC has appointed in the grade of Rs.1900/-will be given grade Rs.2400/- (Old Rs.4000-6000) on promotion on completion of 8 years but inthis ACP scheme, 1st ACP he will gade pay of Rs.2000/- only after completion of ten years and he will suffer financial loss. hence it is very clear that this policy will increase disparity in the mind of low paid employees.
my terms of service as on 1/9/2008 is of 25 years.
at present my grade pay is 2400
i want to know my new grade pay as per MACPS scheme.
thank you.

An LDC will get Gradepay of Rs.4200 after completion of 30 year almost retirment stage. In old ACP scheme after completing 24 year he was getting 4200 grade pay. It is better to withdraw MACP.
Rukman
CSWCRTI., Bellary
There is no doubt this MACP scheme is should be withdrawn. A statement govenrment employees will be gde of 5400/- on completion of 30 years and central government employees will get only 4200/- in additional 3% promotion increment in every difference grade. Hence Rajasthan Govenment is better than central government.
In other words officers of central government has given more weighted after multiply of 1.85 their salary and they have given highly jumps of Rs.10,000/- in their grade pay.
It will be clear all problems...!
yes... Big Joke..!
for eg. (1) LDC as per old ACP on completion of 12 years he will get UDC scale (2400 grade pay), but MACP he will get Rs. 2000 only. He has to wait another 10 years to get 2400 grade pay.
(2) Steno D 4000 scale,(Now getting 2400 grade pay. As per old ACP next steno C promotional scale is 6500 on completion of 12 years. But as per MACP he will be getting only 2800. He has to wait another 10 years to get 4200 grade pay.
My question is whether govt. will give option to employees to select MACP scheme on completion of 10 years or Old ACP schme on completion of 12 years.
with kind regards
the ACP scheme itself was launched by 5th CPC with motive to compensate employees who didnt get regular promotion in their career.
the word ACP stands for 'Assured Career Promotion', n rationale of the scheme is that the CG employees shud get acp in case of not getting regular promotion (may b due to lack of vacancies in higher post in the deptt). so under the scheme, instead of getting the post of promotion in the hierarchy in department, he is supposed to b given the acp benefit in all aspects attached with that higher post, except for actual position/promotion attached to that post. such benefits include payscale/grade pay, etc.
now if, the MACP is accepted then, the concept of acp scheme itself gets derailed. examples of such derailment r like this.
1) inspectors of central excise getting 4200 gp, gets promotion to post of superintendent in gp of 4800. but under macp, inspectors not getting actual promotion, wud get macp benefit with gp of just 4600 n not that of promotional post.
2) similarly, inspectors getting acp/macp, without getting actual promotion in post of superintendent, is denied the benefit of financial upgradation to gp of 5400 even after completion of 4 years in gp of 4800.
now where is the rationale of giving him the ‘ASSURED” promotion under the macp scheme. when the word used is ‘assured promotion’, then he shud get the gp of promotional post (n not the intermediary gp of 4600). n if the acp inspectors completing 4 years of service r denied the gp 5400 then, or not getting gp of 4800 on macp, it implies that those inspectors hvnt got any ‘so-called’ assured promotion.
Accepting this macp scheme itself is an insult to the assured promotion. else, remove the word promotion from the said scheme.
all associations or anybody, plz get the same challenged in any forum like in CAT or even court of law.

clarification 2 & 6 of the OM dt 13.9.08 refers to acp n not abt macp. so that clarification appears to hv become redundent after 1.9.2008 the date of implementation of macp.
i think by the name it states dat it is giving a career progression bcz of not geting the transfer in time ... no the 6 cpc challenged this carreer progression i mean the basic aim of the so called acp .. now he cant say modified .. that word is meaningless he entirely changed the structure by just givin financial upgradation .... therwise the DOPT should clarify the aim and concept... hope dat this matter will get much attention .....
May someone help the Govt to see reason.
I joined cpwdin 26.6.1981as a Draughtsman Gr-3 in 4000 old scale
i was prmote as Draughtsman GR-2 in.9.2.1991in 5000-8000 old scale
iwas promote as Draughtsman GR-1 in.01.12.2005in 5500-9000 old scale
please tell me whate is my grade .
now i an getting 4200 grade pay
whatis my grade pay after icompletd 30year.
1400-2300 5000-8000
1640-2900 5500-9000
2000-3500 6500-10500
2200-4000 8000-13500
Now VI th pay commission has merged the certain scales with Grade pay of 4200/- for which I received promotion and also I was selected through UPSC. Now I seek the clarification from somebody that
(1) In accordance with point 9 of Annexure I of MACPS my service before my selection in 1988 will be counted for macps.(Since selection was for new post carrying the same grade pay i.e. 4200/-)
(2) In accordance with point 5 of MACPS the promotions awarded before 1-1-2006, will be ignored, (especially where the scales are merged by the V th pay commission i.e.5000-8000, 5500-9000, and 6500-10500.)
(3) Will the MACPS be allowed to me. Iam going to retire by 2010.

To
Unit Secretaries,
Members of Women's Committee &
Members & Spl. Invitees – NE
Dear Comrades,
In the bilateral meeting on 20th April 2009 with Principal Director, Staff, the following issues were also discussed – rather certain clarifications and some amendments/improvements to the scheme of adhoc SO were sought - to in addition to the agenda items as given in the Circular 10.
Two of such issues were related to transfer of SOGE Civil Audit passed candidates from A&E office to Civil Audit offices.
Some units have reported that there are some candidates in A&E offices who opted for SOGE Civil Audit only because there was no chance for any career advancement in A&E offices. Some of them have passed the papers of SOGE Accounts. Under the scheme given vide circular dated 25th March 2009 by CAG, these personnel would not be considered for adhoc promotion because they are candidates for SOGE Civil Audit. It was also pointed out that some candidates, as in the office of AG (A&E), AP, Hyderabad, had represented way back in 2007 for being considered/declared as SOGE Accounts passed and their representation is still pending.
We requested that relaxation to this clause may be given and a fresh option may be given to all such personnel to remain in A&E office itself, ie to withdraw from SOGE Civil Audit and considered as SOGE Accounts passed.
It was stated by Pr Director Staff that at this stage no such request could be considered. On being further requested it was stated that any request for relaxation can be considered after the implementation of the scheme.
We also took up the issue of taking SOGE Civil Audit passed candidates from A&E offices in Audit offices where vacancies in the SO/AAO cadre are limited or marginal.
It was clarified that (P)AG (Audit) has to work out how many posts will be required to accommodate all such SOGE civil audit passed personnel and have to seek sanction for additional posts. It was further clarified that all such candidates from A&E offices would be taken on deputation against additional posts, without affecting the promotional prospects of future candidates in Civil Audit offices.
Another issue we raised was on the regularisation of daily wage employees. We were informed by Pr Director, Staff some scheme is being worked out and it is expected that we can expect some action in this regard soon.
With greetings,
Yours fraternally

The non-class 1 i.e the Group B,C are an aggrieved lot.
The classification of the services under Gazetted-non-Gazetted , Group A, B and C has created a virtual Aparthied like situation wherein we come across cases of Group A officers having a disdainful and supercilious attitude towards their non UPSC, Non Class 1 subordinates bordering on hubris.What is so sacrosanct about this classification that it is leads to vested interests protecting their turfs and how can you have social justice in society when the civil service itself has such an inegalitarian hierarchal structure that it it in danger of falling apart if any other formation based on social justice platform like Mayawati comes to power at the centre. Before we go public on this issue, I suggest that the Govt.
act on it and take some remedial measure before any social upheavel shakes up the very citadels of our bureaucracy.
This has assumed such an Institutionalized setup that it almost mirrors the varna system in Hinduism.
Everything is based strictly on hierarchy and not on value.The hiatus is too wide to bridge, given the sacrosanct nature of Group A.
How sacrosanct the Class 1 scales in the sixth Pay Commission are, can be gauged by the substantial jump in some allowances and perks in the Grade Pay of Rs 5400/ and PB-3 and the virtual red letter highlights in PB-3
as 'Group A induction'.
Lack of any lateral upward moves on the part of the lesser
mortals to move up the Varna system, which euphemistically is
referred to as Induction in group A, and which is tantamount to a lower varna person being baptised into a higher one, has created a deep resentment in many talented employees who by virtue of bad luck could not make through UPSC and had to opt for SSC instead.This system,like the caste system, is designed in such a way that it precludes any latent talent in the lower rungs.
Probably no other Instituition has this kind of divergence
wherein a certain class of people are condemneded to stagnation for the rest of their lives ,however talented they may be.
As a first step towards alleviating this historical wrongs,
the Govt can make towards abolishing this classification into A,B,C,D and gazetted.Also any graduate in Govt. service in whatever grade pay should be made to appear for an exam and given an opportunity to get the Grade pay of Rs 5400/ after he clears certains minimum criteria in a transparent manner.
It is never too late in History to correct a wrong.
Some of the privileges enjoyed by the higher echelons like
unquestioned study leave, can also be extended to all sections
as everyone can justify value addition after taking a
sabbatical off for education. I dont see any reasons why
a non -gazetted employee who has put in 20 years service
should be denied permission for a 2 year study leave, on loss of pay. Why cant you frame rules on this.
Secondly as the recommendations of the Chairman of the Commission do carry some weight, I suggest that keeping the egalitarian nature of our Constitution in mind kindly keep the ratio of the Highest vs the lowest pay at the ratio of the fourth pay Commission.
Thirdly , there should be scope for lateral or upwardly induction of exceptionally talented staff from non group A ,who by virtue of mischance might not have fared well in the UPSC civil services examination and who are condemned to stagnation for the rest of their lives.This will address to a great extent the frustration and resentment in them.
Start the process right away, or else the fight on this logic will be conducted in the next Administration and already some important social justice politicians are being sounded on it. Please do not take it lightly.
Please clarfy. - Jag Mal Singh, Meerut
I have joined service in may 87 in the scale of 4000-6000

please mail to gsnsarma@yahoo.com
joined ldc 1.7.190
promoted as accountant 1.8.1981
promotd as senior accountant 1.4.1986
when do he get MACP ?
Comment:- After VI CPC the qualification for Peon/Record Clerk etc is metric
and the grade pay for this post is 1800/- but after 10+2 a candidate qualify
the SSC they are lapsed three to four years of his life and get Rs. 1900/- GP
and a gift of many works like as UDC, Accountant, Auditor, Sr. Accountant,
Sr. Auditor with free mental tension. But a person recruits as a Record Clerk/Peon
(after completion of a commission for this as SAM, DAM, DAND, BHED) they get No tension only gives tension
and get GP Rs. 1800/-+ Liveries which is excess than GP of 1900/- and save her lives three to
four years and they get three to four increments up to a candidates complete 10+2 and SSC which is to more
than which a fresh LDC gets.
So I suggest to a candidate not to take admission in 10+2 if their motive to serve govt sector(as LDC), they only
aimed to SAM, DAM, DAND, BHED niti for geting Service in govt sectore after 10th.
2. A postal assistant declined LSG(NB) before 01.09.2008 for first time an d for second time declined in year 2009. As he has completed his thirty years of service is he eligible for third MACP with effect from 01.09.2008 ? kindly reply as soon as possible...
