  7. I was appointed as LDC on 12/10/1972 and rendered 9 years service in SSB under Cabinet Sectt. Thereafter I competed for direct recruitment of Steno Grade-III. After rendering 24 years in Steno Grade-III I got two ACP i.e. on 30/8/1999 and 31/12/2005 respectively in the scale of Rs.5500-9000 and Rs.6500-10500. Now my 3rd MACP is due on 31/12/2011 but I am superannuating on 30/11/2011. Kindly clarify that will I get 3rd ACP under MACP or not? 9 years service rendered as LDC in same department is not being counted for the purpose of MACP. Now I am being debarred for one month service for MACP. Kindly clarify for this. Now I have been promoted as PA 23/2/2009 without any financial benefit because the ACP of PA I had already received in August,1999.

  8. Sir, As per 5th Pay commission a LDC automatically would be got next promotion pay (2400/-Grade pay)after completion of 12 yrs of service. But my grade pay was raised 1900/- to 2000/- only with one increment on completion of 10 yrs service. Presently, my service is running 12 yrs plus. It is come to my notice that the next grade pay will be given to me when vacancy occur. It is very unfortunate this govt 6th pay rules that if there is not vacancy for next 4-5 yrs, I would not be benefitted for the next grade pay (Rs 2400/-) Secondly, a clerk is almost 12 passed. But the present MACP allotted same basic pay either the employee is Masalchi or office clerk. I request higher authority (Govt) to rectify this issue to encourage clerikal staff and maintain their output.

    I joined ICAR services on 21.6.1975. I was promoted to UDC through limited departmental exam during 1983 and thereafter promoted to Asstt. on 27.4.1993. I refused 3rd promotion as AAO offered to me during Feb., 2006 (i.e. after 8 months of completion of 30 years of service -1975 -2005 and 13 years in a grade – 1993- 2006). I had completed 30 years of service on 21.6.2005 and 10 years of service as ASSTT on 27.4.2003. I had not been granted 3rd financial upgradation by my office in view of of para 25 macp as I had refused promotion before 1.8.2009 i.e. date of implimentation of the MACP . In my opinion as per para 25 macp I refused promotion after becoming eligible for 3rd upgradation which was stagnated (completed 10 years in a grade) on the post of ASSTT on 27.4.2003 after serving 13 years at the post of ASSTT.(DOP as ASSTT – 4/93 – date of refusal 2/2006).

As per CCS (RP)Rules 2008 pay scale 5000-8000,5500-9000&6500-10,500 now carry the same grade pay of Rs. 4200/-. Further upgradation to RS. 4600/-also have to be ignored since pay scale of Asst.

    In view of the foregoing,upgradation of grade pay from 4200/- to 4600/- can not be taken as promotion under MACP.

    since that peon completed 24 year of his service before 1.9.2008 we take pre-revised pay scale i.e 2610-3540. According to this scale his grade pay will be 1800. Why his gp will be 2000?

  32. As on 1-9-2008,since he completed 24 years of service,he is eligible to get 2nd MACP .His Grade pay will be 2000/-

  33. now what will be the grade pay of peon whoes date of appointment is 1.05.1984

  35. Dear Pushparajan,
    There is an OFB clarification , in which it is clarified that the govt servants those who got promoted to MCM before 1-1-2008 and completed 20 years of service,they should be granted MACP benefit of 4200/- grade pay, since MCM grade is a placement in OFB,in MOD. We are informed that many establishment in OFB have implemented this.Hence the same is applicable to you ,and you are supposed to be granted Rs.4200/- as 2nd MACP.

At this stage have completed more then 20 years as per joining time and 5 years as per ex-cadre i.e ministerial cadre. Request clariying that i am eligible for second MACP as per MACP rules or otherwise.

    What is the status of implementation of ACP in Army. Though is has been notified but financial benefits yet to be started.

  42. Sir, I have a simple question. I was drawing a pay of Rs 11950 as on 1.1.2006 (pre-revised). Earlier I was granted one ACP and my pay scale was raised from 6500 to 10000. During my life carrier, I got only one promotion. H ence under 6th Pay commission, I am entitled for one more ACP. Since my pay was fixed at Rs 22230 as on 1.1.2006 with Grade Pay of Rs 6600/- i was granted one more ACP w.e.f. 1.9.2008 with grade pay of Rs 7600/- but the same could not be implemented due to certain doubts. Now that some clarification has come from DoPT, am I entitled for grade pay of Rs 7600/- w.e.f. 1.9.2008?

  43. Sir,
    ACP eas given inliew of regular promotion. i hope MACP will also be allowed to next existing hiererky so that the purpose of ACP may be fulfilled. since in lower staff the difference in GP is 100 or 200 only. if existing hierechy is allowed it will help the staff.
    yhank you
    yours sincerely
