ANNEXURE-1
MODIFIED ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION SCHEME(MACP)


1.            There   shall  be  three   financial upgradation   s under   the  MACPS, counted    from  the direct   entry   grade   on  completion   of  10,  20   and   30   years   service   respectively.  Financial upgradation   under   the  Scheme   will  be  admissible  whenever  a person   has  spent   10 years continuously  in the  same  grade-pay.

2.            The   MACPS   envisages  merely   placement   in  the   immediate   next   higher    grade pay  in  the  hierarchy  of  the   recommended   revised   pay  bands   and  grade   pay  as  given  in Section   1 ,  Part-A   of  the  first   schedule  of the  CCS  (Revised Pay)  Rules,  2008.  Thus,   the grade   pay  at  the   time   of  financial  upgradation   under   the   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.    ln  such  cases,  the  higher   grade   pay  attached to  the  next  promotion   post   in  the  hierarchy  of the  concerned  cadre/organisation   will  be given  only  at  the  time  of regular   promotion.

3.         The   financial  upgradation    s  under    the   MACPS would   be   admissible  up-to    the highest   grade   pay  of Rs. 12000/ in the  PB-4.

4.          Benefit   of  pay  fixation   available  at  the   time   of  regular    promotion   shall  also  be allowed   at  the  time   of financial  upgradation   under   the  Scheme.   Therefore,  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,  however,  be  no  further    fixation   of  pay  at  the  time   of regular promotion  if it  is in  the  same  grade   pay  as granted   under   MACPS. However, at  the  time of actual   promotion   if it  happens    to  be  in  a post  carrying   higher   grade   pay  than  what   is available under   MACPS, no  pay  fixation   would   be  available and  only  difference  of grade pay  would   be  made   available. To  illustrate,    in  case  a  Government   Servant   joins   as  a direct    recruit    in   the   grade    pay   of  Rs.  1900  in   PB-l  and   he   gets   no   promotion   till completion  of 10  years   of service,  he  will be  granted   financial upgradation   under   MACPS in  the  next  higher   grade   pay  of Rs.2000  and  his  pay  will  be  fixed  by  granting    him  one increment    plus   the    difference   of   grade    pay   (i.e.   Rs. 100).    After    availing    financial upgradation   under   MACPS, if the  Government  servant   gets  his  regular   promotion   in the hierarchy  of his  cadre,   which   is to  the  grade   of Rs.2400,  on  regular   promotion,  he  will only   be   granted    the   difference   of  grade    pay   between    Rs.2000   and   Rs.2400.      No additional  increment  will  be  granted    at  this  stage.

5.           Promotions   earned/upgradation~    granted    under   the  ACP  Scheme   in  the  past   to those     grades     which     now     carry     the     same     grade     pay    due    to    merger      of    pay scales/upgradations     of   posts    recommended    by   the    Sixth   Pay   Commission   shall   be ignored   for  the  purpose    of granting   upgradations   under   Modified ACPS.
under:-
The  pre-revised  hierarchy  (in  ascending  order)   in a particular  organization  was  as

(a)        A Government   servant   who  was  recruited  in  the  hierarchy  in  the  pre-revised  pay scale   Rs.  5000-8000    and   who   did  not   get   a  promotion   even   after   25  years   of service   prior   to  1.1.2006,in his  case  as on  1.1.2006he would   have  got  two  financial upgradations   under   ACP  to  the  next  grades   in  the  hierarchy  of  his  organization, Le., to  the  pre-revised  scales  of Rs. 5500-9000   and  Rs. 6500-10500.

(b)        Another    Government   servant   recruited   in  the   same   hierarchy  in  the   pre-revised scale  of Rs.5000-8000   has  also  completed  about   25  years   of  service,   but   he  got two   promotions   to  the   next   higher   grades   of  Rs.5500-9000   &  Rs.6500-10500 during   this  period.

ln  the   case   of  both    (a)   and   (b)   above,   the   promotions/financial    upgradations granted   under   ACP  to  the  pre-revised  scales  of Rs.5500-9000   and  Rs.6500-10500  prior to  1.1.2006 will  be  ignored    on  account    of  merger   of  the  pre-revised  scales   of  Rs.5000-
8000,   Rs.5500-9000   and  Rs. 6500-10500  recommended   by  the  Sixth  CPC. As per  CCS
(RP)  Rules,  both   of  them   will  be  granted    grade   pay  of Rs.  4200   in  the   pay  band   PB-2. After  the  implementation   of MACPS, two  financial upgradations   will  be  granted    both   in the  case  of  (a)  and  (b)  above  to  the  next  higher   grade   pays  of Rs. 4600   and  Rs. 4800   in the  pay  band   PB-2.

6.         ln  the   case  of  all  the   employees  granted    financial  upgradations   under   ACPS  till 01.01.2006, their   revised   pay  will be  fixed  with  reference  to  the  pay  scale  granted   to  them under   the  ACPS.

6.1       ln  the  case  of ACP  upgradations   granted    between    01.01.2006 and  31.08.2008, the Government   servant    has  the   option   under   the   CCS  (RP)  Rules,   2008   to  have   his  pay fixed  in  the   revised   pay  structure   either   (a)  w.ef.   01.01.2006 with   reference  to  his  pre- revised   scale  as  on  01.01.2006; or  (b)  w.ef.   the   date   of  his  financial  upgradation   under ACP  with   reference  to  the  pre-revised  scale  granted    under   ACP.    ln  case  of  option   (b), he  shall  be  entitled    to  draw   his  arrears    of pay  only  from   the  date   of  his  option   i.e. the date  of financial upgradation   under   ACP.

6.2       ln  cases  where   financial upgradation  had  been  granted   to  Government  servants   in the   next  higher   scale  in  the   hierarchy  of  their   cadre   as  per   the   provisions  of  the   ACP Scheme     of August,   1999,  but  whereas   as  a result   of the  implementation   of  Sixth  CPe's recommendations,   the  next  higher   post   in  the  hierarchy  of the  cadre   has  been   upgraded by  granting    a higher   grade   pay,  the  pay  of  such  employees  in  the  revised   pay  structure will be  fixed  with  reference  to  the  higher   grade  pay  granted   to  the  post.    To  illustrate,  in the  case  of Jr. Engineer  in  CPWD,  who  was  granted   ]"t  ACP in  his  hierarchy  to  the  grade of Asstt.  Engineer  in the  pre-revised  scale  of Rs.6500-10500 corresponding   to  the  revised grade   pay   of  Rs.4200    in  the   pay   band    PB-2,  he  win   now   be   granted    grade    pay   of Rs4600    in the  pay  band   PB-2  consequent  upon   upgradation   of the  post   of Asstt.  Enggs. ln  CPWD  by  granting    them   the  grade   pay  of Rs.4600   in  PB-2  as  a result   of Sixth  CPC's recommendation.      However,  from   the   date   of  implementation    of  the   MACPS, all  the financial upgradations   under   the  Scheme   should   be  done  strictly   in  accordance  with  the hierarchy  of grade   pays  in  pay  bands   as notified   vide  CCS  (Revised Pay)  Rules,  2008.
7.         With   regard    to  fixations   of  his  pay  on  grant   of  promotion/financial    upgradation under   MACP  Scheme,   a Government   servant   has  an  option   under   FR22  (1) (a)  (1) to  get his    pay    fixed    in    the     higher     post/     grade     pay    either     from     the     date     of    his promotion/upgradation     or  from   the   date   of  his  next   increment   viz.  1st  July  of  the  year. The  pay  and  the  date   of  increment   would   be  fixed  in  accordance  with   clarification  no.2 of Department   of Expenditure's   O.M.  N0.1/1/2008-1Cdated  13.09.2008.

8.            Promotions    earned    in  the   post   carrying    same   grade   pay   in  the   promotional hierarchy  as per  Recruitment   Rules  shall  be  counted   for  the  purpose    of MACPS.

8.1        Consequent    upon    the   implementation    of  Sixth   CPC's    recommendations,    grade pay  of Rs.5400   is now  in  two  pay  bands   viz., PB-2  and  PB-3. The  grade   pay  of Rs. 5400 in  PB-2  and  Rs.5400   in  PB-3  shall  be  treated    as  separate    grade   pays  for  the  purpose    of grant   of upgradations   under   MACP  Scheme.

9.           'Regular   service'   for  the   purposes    of  the   MACPS  shall  commence   from   the   date of joining   of a post   in  direct   entry   grade   on  a regular   basis  either   on  direct   recruitment basis   or  on  absorption/re-employment     basis.    Service   rendered    on  adhoc/contract    basis before    regular     appointment     on   pre-appointment     training     shall    not    be   taken    into reckoning.        However,    past     continuous     regular      service     in    another      Government Department   in  a  post   carrying    same   grade   pay  prior   to  regular   appointment    in    a new Department,   without    a  break,   shall  also  be  counted    towards    qualifying  regular    service for   the   purposes     of  MACPS     only   (and   not   for   the   regular    promotions).      However, benefits    under    the   MACPS   in  such   cases   shall   not   be   considered   till  the   satisfactory completion  of the  probation   period   in the  new  post.

10.        Past  service  rendered    by  a Government  employee in  a State   Government/statutory body/Autonomous body/Public Sector organisation, before appointment in the Government  shall  not  be  counted   towards   Regular  Service.

11.        'Regular service' shall  include all periods   spent  on deputation/foreign service, study  leave and all other   kind of leave, duly sanctioned by the competent authority.

12.        The   MACPS  shall  also  be  applicable  to  work   charged    employees,  if their   service conditions  are  comparable  with  the  staff' of regular   establishment.

13.        Existing  time-bound   promotion   scheme,   including  in-situ   promotion   scheme,   Staff' Car   Driver   Scheme    or   any   other    kind   of  promotion   scheme    existing   for   a  particular category of  employees  in a  Ministry/Department or   its offices, may continue    to   be operational for the concerned category of employees if it is decided by the concerned administrative   authorities   to  retain   such   Schemes,  after   necessary  consultations   or  they may   switch-over   to  the   MACPS.     However, these  Schemes shall not run concurrently with  the  MACPS.

14.       The MACPS is directly  applicable only  to  Central   Government   Civilian  employees.
it will  not   get   automatically   extended    to   employees  of  Central    Autonomous/Statutory Bodies  under   the   administrative   control  of  a Ministry/Department. Keeping   in  view  the financial   implications  involved,   a conscious  decision   in  this  regard   shall  have  to  be  taken by  the   respective   Governing   Body/Board  of  Directors    and   the   administrative    Ministry concerned  and  where   it  is proposed    to  adopt   the  MACPS,  prior   concurrence   of Ministry of Finance   shall  be  obtained.
15.       lf  a financial   upgradations   under   the  MACPS  is deferred   and  not  allowed   after  10 years   in   a   grade  pay,  due  to  the  reason of  the employees being unfit or due to departmental proceedings, etc.,  this  would   have  consequential   effect   on  the  subsequent financial   upgradation    which   would   also  get  deferred    to  the   extent   of  delay  in  grant   of first  financial   upgradation.

16.        On  grant   of financial   upgradation   under   the  Scheme,   there   shall  be  no  change   in the   designation,   classification   or   higher    status.    However,    financial    and   certain    other benefits   which   are  linked   to  the  pay  drawn   by  an  employee   such   as  HBA, allotment    of Government   accommodation   shall  be  permitted.

17.         The  financial   upgradation   would   be  on  non-functional   basis  subject   to  fitness,   in the  hierarchy    of grade   pay  within   the  PB-1.Thereafter   for  upgradation   under   the  MACPS the   benchmark   of  'good'   would   be  applicable   till  the   grade   pay  of  Rs.  6600/-    in  PB-3. The   benchmark   will  be   'Very  Good'   for  financial   upgradation    to  the   grade   pay  of  Rs.7600   and  above.

18.        ln   the   matter    of  disciplinary/   penalty    proceedings,   grant    of  benefit    under    the MACPS   shall   be   subject     to   rules    governing     normal     promotion.    Such    cases    shall, therefore,     be   regulated     under    the    provisions     of   the    CCS   (CCA)   Rules,   1965   and instructions   issued   there under.

19.       The   MACPS  contemplates   merely   placement    on  personal    basis   in  the   immediate higher     Grade     pay    /grant     of    financial     benefits     only    and    shall    not     amount      to actual/functional     promotion      of   the    employees     concerned.    Therefore,     no   reservation orders/roster    shall  apply   to  the  MACPS,  which   shall  extend   its  benefits   uniformly    to  all eligible   SC/ST  employees    also.  However,   the  rules   of  reservation   in  promotion     shall  be ensured    at  the  time   of regular   promotion.    For  this  reason,   it  shall  not  be  mandatory    to associate    members    of  SC/ST   in  the   Screening    Committee   meant   to  consider    cases   for grant   of financial   upgradation   under   the  Scheme.

20.        Financial   upgradation   under   the  MACPS  shall  be  purely   personal   to  the  employee and   shall   have   no   relevance    to   his   seniority    position.       As  such,   there    shall   be   no additional    financial   upgradation   for  the  senior   employees   on  the  ground    that   the  junior employee   in the  grade   has  got  higher   pay/grade   pay  under   the  MACPS.

21.        Pay  drawn   in  the  pay  band   and  the  grade   pay  allowed  under   the  MACPS  shall  be taken    as   the   basis   for   determining    the   terminal    benefits    in   respect    of  the   retiring employee.

22.         If  Group    "A"  Government    employee,    who   was   not   covered    under    the   ACP Scheme    has   now   become    entitled    to   say  third    financial    upgradation    directly,    having completed     30  year's   regular    service,   his   pay   shall  be  fixed   successively  in  next   three immediate     higher    grade    pays   in  the   hierarchy    of  revised    pay-bands     and   grade    pays allowing   the  benefit   of 3%  pay  fixation   at  every  stage.    Pay  of persons   becoming    eligible for  second   financial   upgradation   may  also  be  fixed  accordingly.
23.        ln  case  an  employee  is  declared   surplus   in  his/her   organisation   and  appointed   in the   same   pay-scale  or  lower   scale   of  pay  in  the   new   organization,   the   regular    service rendered    by  him/her    in  the   previous    organisation   shall  be  counted    towards    the   regular service  in his/her   new  organisation   for  the  purpose    of giving  financial   upgradation   under the  MACPS.

24.        In  case  of an  employee  after  getting   promotion/ACP   seeks  unilateral  transfer    on  a lower    post    or   lower    scale,   he   will   be   entitled    only   for   second    and   third    financial upgradations   on  completion   of  20/30   years   of regular   service   under   the  MACPS,  as  the case   may   be,   from    the    date    of   his   initial    appointment    to   the    post    in   the    new organization.


25.       lf  a regular   promotion   has  been   offered   but  was  refused   by  the  employee  before becoming  entitled    to  a  financial    upgradation,   no  financial    upgradation   shall  be  allowed as  such  an  employee  has  not   been   stagnated   due  to  lack  of  opportunities.     If, however, nonracial     upgradation     has    been     allowed     due    to    stagnation     and     the     employees subsequently   refuse   the   promotion,   it  shall  not   be  a  ground    to  withdraw   the   financial upgradation.     He  shall,  however,    not   be  eligible   to  be  considered   for  further    financial upgradation   till  he  agrees   to  be  considered  for  promotion   again  and  the  second   the  next financial   upgradation   shall  also  be  deferred   to  the  extent   of period   of debarment   due  to the  refusal.


26.        Cases  of   persons holding higher posts purely on ad hoc basis shall also be considered   by  the Screening Committee alongwith others. They may be allowed the benefit of Financial   upgradation   on  reversion   to  the  lower  post   or  if it  is beneficial  vis-a- vis the  pay  drawn   on  ad hoc   basis.


27.        Employees  on  deputation   need   not   revert   to  the  parent    Department   for  availing the  benefit   of financial   upgradation   under   the  MACPS.   They  may  exercise   a fresh  option    . to  draw  the  pay  in  the  pay  band   and  the  grade   pay  of the  post  held  by  them   or  the  pay plus  grade  pay  admissible  to  them   under   the  MACPS, whichever  is beneficial.


lf  a  Government   servant    (LDC)    in  PB-l  in  the   Grade   Pay  of  Rs.1900  gets his  nearest   regular   promotion   (UDC)  in  the  PB-l  in  the  Grade   Pay  of Rs.2400 on  completion   of  8 years  of service  and  then   continues  in  the  same  Grade Pay  for  further    10 years  without    any  promotion   then   he  would   be  eligible
for   2nd   Financial    upgradation   under   the   MACPS  in  the   PB-l  in  the   Grade Pay  of Rs.2800   after  completion  of 18 years   (8+10 years).

(ii)        ln  case  he  does  not   get  any  promotion   thereafter,   then   he  would   get   3rd Financial    upgradation   in  the  PB-II  in  Grade   Pay  of  Rs.4200   on  completion of further    10 years  of service  i.e. after  28 years   (8+10+10).

(iii)       However,  if  he  gets   2nd  promotion   after   5  years   of  further    service   in  the pay   PB-II  in  the   Grade   Pay  of  Rs.4200    (Asstt.   Grade/Grade   "C")  i.e.  on completion    of   23   years    (8+10+5years) then    he   would    get   3rd   Financial upgradation   after   completion  of 30  years  i.e. 10 years   after   the  2nd  ACP  in the  PB-II  in the  Grade  Pay of Rs.4600.
In the  above  scenario,  the  pay  shall  be  raised   by  3%  of the  total   pay  in the Pay   Band   and   Grade    Pay  drawn    before    such   upgradation.   There    shall, however,  be  no  further    fixation   of pay  at  the  time   of regular   promotion   if it   is   in   the    same   Grade    Pay   or   in  the   higher   Grade   Pay.      Only   the difference  of grade  pay  would  be  admissible  at  the  time  of promotions.

If  a  Government   servant    (LDC)   in  PB-I  in  the   Grade   Pay  of  Rs.1900   is granted    1st   financial  upgradation   under   the   MACPS on  completion   of  10 years   of  service   in  the  PB-l  in  the  Grade   Pay  of  Rs.2000   and  5 years  later he  gets  1st  regular   promotion   (UDC)  in  PB-I in  the   Grade   Pay  of Rs.2400, the   2nd   financial  upgradation   under   MACPS (in  the   next   Grade   Pay  w.r.t. Grade   Pay  held  by  Government  servant)   will  be  granted    on  completion  of 20  years   of  service   in  PB-I in  the  Grade  Pay  of Rs.2800.  On  completion  of 30  years   of  service,   he  will  get   3rd   ACP  in  the   Grade   Pay  of  Rs.  4200. However,  if  two   promotions   are   earned    before    completion   of  20  years, only   3rd   financial  upgradation   would   be   admissible  on   completion   of  10 years   of  service   in  Grade   Pay  from   the  date  2nd   promotion   or  at  30th    year of service,  whichever  is earlier.

If a  Government   servant   has  been   granted    either   two  regular   promotions or  2nd  financial  upgradation   under   the  ACP  Scheme   of August,   1999  after completion    of    24    years    of   regular     service     then     only    3rd     financial upgradation   would   be  admissible  to  him  under   the  MACPS on  completion of 30  years   of service   provided  that   he  has  not  earned   third   promotion   in
the  hierarchy.
