Government implements the Modified ACP Scheme
Friends,the most awaited modified ACP Scheme in line with Sixth Pay Commission Recommendations has finally been issued by Government.
Features of Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme :Financial upgradation under the scheme will be admissible whenever a person has spent 10 years continuously in the same grade pay. The grade pay at the time of financial upgradation under MACPS can in certain cases where regular promotion is not between two successive grades, be different than what is available at the time of regular promotion. In such cases the higher grade pay attached to next promotion post in the hierarchy of the concerned cadre/organization will be given only at the time of regular promotion. The financial upgradation under the MACPS would be admissible up to the highest grade pay of 12,000 in PB-4. The pay shall be raised by 3% of the total pay in the pay band and the grade pay drawn before such upgradation. There shall be no further fixation at the time of regular promotion if it is the same grade pay as granted under MACPS.

Association should have gone through the above scheme and tell its members about its plus and minus points so that members can be aware of its benefits/losses.
The matter is being examined.
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 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.
