The MACP system should be changed into Promotional Basis instead of just increase in grade pay. The seniors who have already put more than 10, 20, 30 years, they are still in the same designation getting only minimum increase in the grade pay and retire without getting promotion to the next higher position.
If 7th CPC and the government agrees for change of MACP system into promotional basis, its effective date, Commission’s / Government’s FOREMOST DUTY IS TO PROTECT THE SENIORS FIRST. THAT MEANS, THE SENIORS SHOULD BE GIVEN PROMOTION FIRST, THEN ONLY THE JUNIORS SHOULD GET PROMOTION. OTHERWISE, JUNIORS WILL GET PROMOTION TO THE NEXT HIGHER POST FROM THE DATE OF EFFECT OF MACP IN 7TH CPC AND THE SENIORS WILL BE IN THE SAME OLD DESIGNATION. Already the seniors are not benefitted in 6th cpc, atleast they should be benefitted by getting promotion BEFORE THE JUNIORS GET.
THIS HAS TO BE TAKEN CARE BY THE 7TH CPC AND THE GOVERNMENT.
