OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Sub: Cases pending or decided by Hon’ble High Courts/ Tribunals regarding preponement of effective date of Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) Scheme – reg.

The undersigned is directed to say that the matter relating to grant of benefits w.e.f. 01.01.2006 instead of w.e.f. 01.09.2008 under the MACP Scheme to civilian Central Government employees is presently sub-judice before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in a number of cases tagged with SLP Nos. 10811-10813/2018 in the matter of Union of India Vs. Shri Ranjit Samuel, and that all similar matters are being heard together by the Hon’ble Apex Court.

Also check: Delhi High Court Order – MACP is effective from 1.1.2006 as per 6th Pay Commission recommendation, as it forms part of Pay and NOT allowances

2. A large number of references are being received in this Department based on orders of the Hon’ble Tribunals (CAT Benches) and Hon’ble High Courts seeking advice on implementation of such orders allowing grant of benefits under the MACP Scheme from 1.1.2006, as against 1.9.2008, the date provided in the MACP Scheme.

3, Since such orders of Hon’ble Tribunals /High Courts are at variance with the extant MACPS guidelines and for the fact that the primary issue of date of effect of MACPS is sub judice before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, this Department is constrained to advise various Ministries/ Departments to either seek review or agitate the matter in higher courts, by challenging such orders.

4, Accordingly, Ministries /Departments are, therefore, advised to defend such cases or challenge the orders (where decision has been taken by the Hon’ble Tribunal/High Court) contrary to MACPS guidelines, by bringing the fact that the issue is pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, to the notice of Hon’ble Tribunals/High Courts.

New Promotion Rules for Central Government Employees – Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACP)

Central Government accepted the new 7th pay commission promotion rules and implemented for all groups of Central Government employees

Originally adopted by the 5th Pay Commission in 1996 and subsequently by the sixth pay commission, the system for the guaranteed promotion has adjusted the 12 and 24 year requirements to 10, 20 and 30 years.

If a worker is not promoted for a period of 10 years, he or she moves to the next tier of the pay hierarchy under the MACP rule.

Now the DoPT has now given a significant order in detail regarding the promised promotional structure.

The OM recommends that the 7th Pay Commission should continue to administer the MACP Scheme 10, 20 and 30 years earlier.

The employees move into the next level of the hierarchy in the new pay matrix. As recommended, all positions, including Group A posts, whether individually or not, will be able to benefit from the Scheme.

However, the services of the organized group “A” are not covered by the scheme. MACPS may proceed in this manner, except for representatives of Organized Group’s’ A’ Programs, to extend to all workers up to HAG level.

The Government has considered and approved the recommendations of MACPS’s Seventh Central Pay Commission. At the age of 10, 20 and 30 the MACPS will continue to be administered. The worker must transfer to the next pay level in the current pay matrix system directly under the program.

The specified Benchmark shall be’ Very Good’ for the granting of financial improvement under the MACP Scheme for all rates.

No increase in the pay level for junior employees would be admissible as a result of pay fixation under the MACP scheme, more than for seniors.
