Sub:-Grant of financial upgradation under MACP Scheme-Clarification reg.
References have been received from Zonal Railways seeking clarification as to what Grade Pay would be admissible under MACP Scheme to an employee holding feeder post in a cadre where promotional post is in the same Grade Pay. The matter has been examined in consultation with Department of Personnel & Training (DoP&T), the nodal department of the Government on MACP Scheme and it is clarified that ACP/MACP Schemes have been introduced by the Government in order to mitigate the problems of genuine stagnation faced by employees due to lack of promotional avenues.
Thus, financial upgradations under ACP/MACP Schemes CANNOT be to higher Grade Pay than what are be allowed to an employee on his normal promotion. In such cases financial upgradation under MACP Scheme would be granted to the same Grade Pay.
This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.

It is a wrong policy of the government that junior employee get higher grade pay and senior employee who is the boss of the junior employee will get lower GP.. no trade union will take up this issue. It is the best time to leave all trade unions.. no member should be given and no moral support and physical support may be given to them.
