Un settled anomaly on MACP granting issue to some cadre even 7th CPC implementations:

Modified  Assured career progression Scheme (MACP) for central govt. civilian employees   counted  from  (1)  on completion of 10,20 and  30 years of  service – for Direct entry grade.

         (2)   spent 10 years continuously in the same grade- pay.

Let us discuss  MACP  -  with two cases  one is for  direct entry   and  other is  Promotion case (LDCE) in Postal dept.

CASE:01    :     Direct  entry  ( Through  Exam):

                       Let Mr.X  joined in  postal dept . as  Postal Assistant (PA)  as direct candidate on  27.4.1997 grade pay  is Rs. 2400/-   let he has not get any promotions till date.      

1.      DOE:      27.04.1997 : G.pay: 2400

2.     MACP- I  :  01.09.2008    ( implementation of MACP date) : G.pay: Rs.2800/-

3.     MACP-II   : 27.04.2017  ( let he has  nil   n.q.s.) (20 YEARS OF Q.S)  : G.Pay ; Rs.4200/-

4.     MACP-III   27.04.2027 ( 10 YEARS FROM MACP-II  OR 30 YEARS OF Q.S): G.pay.Rs.4600/-
  

CASE:02 :      Promotion through departmental exam from Postman to PA:-

            Let  Mr.Y joined in the dept. as  Postman on  01.01.1992  g.pay Rs. 2000.  He got promotion as Postal Assistant (PA)  on   27.04.1997 g.pay  Rs.2800/-  Let he has not get any other promotions till date.

1.     DOE;  01.01.1997  (Postman) : Gpay: 2000

2.     Promotion (PA): 27.04.1997:  MACP-I  (first promotion taken as Macp-i) : G.pay: 2400

3.     MACP:II   :   01.09.2008  ( implementation of  MACP )  ; G.pay; Rs. 2800/-

4.     MACP-III  ;   01.09.2018  : (  after 10 years spent in same grade pay);  G.pay: Rs 4200/-

5.     27.04.2017 :;   No  further MACP:

Even in   7^th CPC  implementations this heavy  Loss causes to  many promo tees not settled.  when a person got promotion even having same service on par with other direct candidates facing heavy loss under MACP fixations.   The stagnation of  pay should be settled.
