The Sixth Central Pay Commission in Para 6.1.15of its report, has recommended Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme(MACPS). As per the recommendations, financial upgradation will be available in the next higher grade pay whenever an employee has completed 12 years continuous service in the same grade. However, not

more than two financial upgradations shall be given in the entire career, as was provided in the previous Scheme.

It is not clear whether you fulfil this criteria or not.

Do note that you can always send representation to the higher authority for the the applicability of the beneficial OM in your favour.

Yes, you can still represent at this stage against MACP entry as 'GOOD' and seek its upgradation.

In case the needful is not done, you will have to approach the Central Administrative Tribunal and file a claim petition.

OM dt. 27.09.16 cannot be challenged as arbitrary and illegal as thought it is having a retrospective operation, but opportunity was given to all of you t challenge the below benchmark entry for the 5 years period of 2011-17.

Dear Client,

Since the change in the aforesaid will effect from 25th July 2016, and the MACPS administers at 10, 20 & 30 years interval, and in this case if your last appraisal under the scheme was done in 2012 than next 4 years APAR will be counted acc. to old OM.

The para 17 of the referred letter is reproduced below:

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.

The contents of the subsequent ruing is givenbelow

:The 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) in pare 5.1.45 of its report has interalia recommended as follows:

"Benchmark for performance appraisal for promotion and financial upgradation
