Dear Sir / Madam,
As you are aware that as per scheme of studies, a candidate is required to offer the following subjects at secondary School Examination (Class X) :
(1) and (2) Two languages out of –
“Hindi, English, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Kashmiri, Marathi, Malayalam, Manipuri, Oriya, Punjabi, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, Lepcha, Limbu, Bhutia, Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Nepali, Tibetan and Mizo.
(3) Mathematics
(4) Science
(5) Social Science
(6) Work Education or Pre‐Vocational Education
(7) Art Education
(8) Physical and Health Education
NOTE : Hindi and English must be one of the two languages to be studied in Class IX and X. Hindi and English can also be offered simultaneously. In Hindi and English, two courses have been provided for Class IX and X keeping in view the varying background of the student. A student may either opt Communicative‐English (subject code 101) or English Language and Literature (Subject Code 184). Similarly, in Hindi, a student may either opt for Hindi A (Code 085) or Hindi B (002).
02. Students may also offer any one of the following as an additional subject :
Language other than the two compulsory languages (offered as subjects of study)
OR
Commerce, Painting, Music, Home Science or Foundation of Information Technology
03. It has been observed that a number of schools allow their candidates to offer an additional subject and the same is entered against their names in the List of Candidates.However, it is understood, in a number of cases, the students are not taught the above subjects in the schools. This practice is against the norms of the Board. A school can offer only those subjects for which the school is having necessary infrastructure i.e. a qualified teacher and other facilities like laboratory etc and the candidate must be taught complete course of each subject including the additional subject.
04. I am writing to impress upon all Heads of Schools to ensure that candidates may be allowed to offer an additional (sixth) subject only if the school has necessary facilities such as a qualified teacher and laboratories etc. and the additional (sixth) subject must be given proper attention by the schools in case the students have been permitted to offer the subject in classes IX and X.

Rank in merit list & not date of joining to determine Seniority
A Bench of Justice SD Anand and Dr. AK Mishra at the Chandigarh Bench of Central Administrative Tribunal have held that the relevant criterion for determining seniority would have to be order of merit at the time of appointment and not date of joining government service.
In the case in question police inspector Harjit Kaur, presently on deputation with CBI, had challenged denial of seniority over two other colleagues who were placed above her in seniority list on the basis of their date of joining service.
Petitioner claimed that at the time of initial appointment she was placed third in merit list for women recruits. However Kaur could was offered appointment only when the second in list was found medically unfit. In the meantime other colleagues joined the department 18 days prior to the petitioner.
An office order dated 21 April,1989 passed by the then Senior Superintendent of Police, U.T., however came to Kaur’s rescue which stated that she be placed senior to ASI’s Dilsher Singh and Gurmukh Singh selected in the same recruitment process keeping in view their lower rank in the merit list.
Kaur who had already received two promotions based on the seniority fixed in 1989 was in for a shock when she was on deputation at a UN Peace Keeping Mission at Kosovo. By a office order she was placed at a lower level than the other two ASI’s. Upon contesting her case the Director General of Police, U.T., on 5 November, 2009 turned down her plea primarily on the ground of delay and latches.
Agreeing with Kaur’s counsel the Bench held that as per Rule 12.2 (3) of the Punjab Police Rules, as applicable to U.T. Chandigarh, the inter-se seniority of police officers of the same selection, has to be reckoned by the order of merit as determined/ fixed by the selection body. Giving relief the Bench ruled that the petitioner shall be treated as senior to Dilsher Singh and Gurmukh Singh for all intents and purposes and shall also be entitled to the consequential benefits.

Performance Related Bonus - Incentive system for Govt employees may be introduced next year
An incentive structure akin to one prevalent in private sector could soon be in place for government servants as well, building on the extensive performance review that is already underway for them, a top government official said.
“An incentive system is being worked upon as recommended by the Sixth Pay Commission. It could be implemented by next year,” Prajapati Trivedi Secretary Performance management, said at the annual economic editors’ conference.
The incentives would be given out from the cost savings achieved by a bureaucrat in his role and will, therefore, not place an additional financial burden on the Government, he explained. Besides, the extensive job performance parameters, these incentives would also depend on cost saving on account of reduction in the use of office stationary and savings in electricity consumption. Cabinet secretary K M Chandrashekhar has already written a letter to all secretaries to the Government of India on their performance targets.
A mid-year review of the performance of Government departments and officials is currently underway, that will give them fair idea of how each fare with respect to their agreed goals.
The Government had put in place a performance monitoring and evaluation system following an announcement in this regard by the President in her address to both the houses of Parliament on June 4, 2009. The first evaluation was carried out last year which was limited to only three months of the fiscal.
The current year’s evaluation would be the first comprehensive exercise, which will be illustrated in a report card. This report card will be finalized by May 1 each year.
The new policy is designed on what is already in place in many countries. New Zealand, United Kingdom and USA carry out extensive performance reviews of their government departments.
The results framework document of each ministry or department will be put on its website to ensure stakeholder participation and transparency of the exercises. The concept is based on a paper prepared by the IIM, Ahmedabad.

NPS : Choose plan to suit risk profile
Under the New Pension Scheme (NPS), investors save money which is put into the capital market. The sum which you will get after retirement will be dependent on the performance of the capital market. You can make monthly or weekly contributions to the NPS. But for every contribution, your transaction cost will increase.
Prior to NPS, there was the Defined Benefit Plan -one would get certain pension fixed for life. The post retirement proceeds were fixed and if there is a shortfall in this corpus, the government would make good.
NPS is a Defined Contribution Plan where the returns will not be fixed. You will only get what you have contributed and returns that the fund manager generates on it. All new entrants to the central government services (other than armed forces) after January 1, 2004, will compulsorily join this scheme. All citizens, including NRIs, aged 18 to 60 can voluntary join the scheme. The exit age is 60 years.
A minimum contribution of Rs 6,000 is compulsory per year. The minimum amount per contribution is Rs 500 and a minimum of four contributions in a year for each subscriber account is required.
Under the NPS, each subscriber is allotted a unique 16-digit Permanent Retirement Account Number (PRAN). This number is portable. The records of transactions are maintained by the Central Record Keeping Agency (CRKA). The subscriber has the option to invest with seven pension fund managers (PFMs). He also has the option to choose any one or more PFMs to manage his contribution. These PFMs will have three kind of funds categorised as 'E' for equity funds, 'G' for funds investing in government securities and 'C' for fixed income securities other than government securities.
There are two types of accounts:
Tier I account where you cannot withdraw
The Tier I account is the basic NPS account that is non-withdrawable till retirement or death of the subscriber. In this account, the total corpus at retirement age is split, where a minimum of 40 percent of the final corpus has to be compulsorily used to buy an annuity while the subscriber is free to withdraw the remaining 60 percent as a lump sum or in installments.
Tier II account where you can withdraw
The Tier II account is available to only to those who are existing subscribers of the Tier I account. The money contributed into this account can be freely withdrawn as and when the subscriber wishes to except for a minimum balance that needs to be maintained at the end of each financial year.
Charges
The NPS levies an investment charge of .00009 percent of the assets under management. Initial charges of account opening are around Rs 470. From the second year onward the charges are Rs 350 per annum. Also, a charge of Rs 10 is applicable for each transaction. One can make monthly or weekly contributions. But for every contribution, your transaction cost will increase.
Fund managers
These are managed by fund managers. Currently, seven fund houses appointed by the government are available under the NPS.
These are:
LIC Pension Fund Limited SBI Pension Funds Pvt Limited UTI Retirement Solutions Limited IDFC Pension Fund Management Company Limited ICICI Prudential Pension Funds Management Company Limited Kotak Mahindra Pension Fund Limited Reliance Capital Pension Fund Limited
Schemes
There are three schemes available under the NPS.
Fund C
In case you invest in this fund, all the money will be invested in fixed income instruments such as corporate bonds and government securities. One should consider investing in this fund if the risk appetite is medium as corporate bonds are not that risky.
Fund E
In case one invests in this fund, a portion of not more than 50 percent of the invested money will be put in equity. You should choose this retirement plan only if your risk appetite is high, as up to 50 percent of your money will be linked to the performance of equity.
Fund G
In this case, all your money will be invested in government securities. Hence, this is suited for risk-averse investors. One can choose to invest in any of these funds. You may also invest in a mix of these funds. If you do not choose between these funds, your contributions will be invested in a fund with 15 percent in equity, 45 percent in corporate bonds and 40 percent in government bonds. With increase in age, after 35 years, the government bond exposure will increase with a maximum limit of 80 percent and 10 percent each in equity and corporate bonds.
Fixed income pension plan
The government has proposed to extend the 'fixed income pension plan' to workers in the unorganised sector. The monthly contributions one makes will be invested as per NPS guidelines. The State funds for the savings scheme will be added to this. If any gap exists between the sum guaranteed and sum generated from the two steps, the central government will provide the required funds.
The new plan will be started off initially in Haryana, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. This amendment is meant only for workers in the unorganised sector. Central and State government employees will continue to get pension through NPS.
Tax benefit
Presently, NPS does not offer any tax exemptions unlike other retirement plans. It falls under the category of exempt-exempt-tax (EET) system which means that maturity benefits you receive after retirement will be taxable. However, with the Direct Tax Code coming in NPS will be tax exempted on withdrawal too.

Prior to NPS, there was the Defined Benefit Plan -one would get certain pension fixed for life. The post retirement proceeds were fixed and if there is a shortfall in this corpus, the government would make good.
NPS is a Defined Contribution Plan where the returns will not be fixed. You will only get what you have contributed and returns that the fund manager generates on it. All new entrants to the central government services (other than armed forces) after January 1, 2004, will compulsorily join this scheme. All citizens, including NRIs, aged 18 to 60 can voluntary join the scheme. The exit age is 60 years.
A minimum contribution of Rs 6,000 is compulsory per year. The minimum amount per contribution is Rs 500 and a minimum of four contributions in a year for each subscriber account is required.
Under the NPS, each subscriber is allotted a unique 16-digit Permanent Retirement Account Number (PRAN). This number is portable. The records of transactions are maintained by the Central Record Keeping Agency (CRKA). The subscriber has the option to invest with seven pension fund managers (PFMs). He also has the option to choose any one or more PFMs to manage his contribution. These PFMs will have three kind of funds categorised as 'E' for equity funds, 'G' for funds investing in government securities and 'C' for fixed income securities other than government securities.
There are two types of accounts:
Tier I account where you cannot withdraw
The Tier I account is the basic NPS account that is non-withdrawable till retirement or death of the subscriber. In this account, the total corpus at retirement age is split, where a minimum of 40 percent of the final corpus has to be compulsorily used to buy an annuity while the subscriber is free to withdraw the remaining 60 percent as a lump sum or in installments.
Tier II account where you can withdraw
The Tier II account is available to only to those who are existing subscribers of the Tier I account. The money contributed into this account can be freely withdrawn as and when the subscriber wishes to except for a minimum balance that needs to be maintained at the end of each financial year.
Charges
The NPS levies an investment charge of .00009 percent of the assets under management. Initial charges of account opening are around Rs 470. From the second year onward the charges are Rs 350 per annum. Also, a charge of Rs 10 is applicable for each transaction. One can make monthly or weekly contributions. But for every contribution, your transaction cost will increase.

These are managed by fund managers. Currently, seven fund houses appointed by the government are available under the NPS.

This must be charter of demand for new pension scheme from us...
Grant statutory defined pension scheme to the employees recruited after 1.1.2004 and withdraw the PFRDA Bill from Parliament.
The present defined benefit scheme of pension was introduced replacing the then existing contributory system. As part of the neo liberal economic policies, the Government decided to reconvert the same into contributory and make the fund available for the stock market operations. It is the vagaries of the stock market which will determine the pension returns from this fund. Before the introduction of the PFRDA bill, the Government had set up a committee under the chairmanship of Shri Bhattacharya, Chief Secretary of the State of Karnataka. The bill has been drafted and presented to the Parliament disregarding even the recommendation of the said committee to the effect that the Govt. should consider introducing a hybrid system by which the employees will have a defined benefit, if they choose to be satisfied with the said return and can opt for a higher return through stock exchange investments. The Bill could not be passed in the Parliament as the Left Parties took the principled position that they would not support a proposal detrimental to the interest of the employees. Despite the non passage of the bill and the consequent absence of a valid law to support the Pension Regulatory authority, the Govt. has converted the existing pension scheme into a contributory one and invested a percentage of the fund so generated from the employees contribution in the Stock market, whose index has crashed to one third of the value at the time of investment.
Pension is earned by an employee by rendering service and therefore there is no requirement of any payment by the employee for earning pension. This statutory right of the employee is enforceable through courts. The Supreme Court has declared pension as one of the fundamental rights. The government should therefore retrace from its avowed position, which is detrimental to the interest of the employees and ensure that the employees recruited after 1.1.2004 is covered by the existing statutory defined benefit scheme by withdrawing the PFRDA bill from the Parliament.

The new MACPS has come into existence w e f 01.09.2008
However, the pay structure has been changed w e f 01.01.2006.
Therefore the previous ACPS would be applicable in the new pay structure
adopted w e f 01.01.2006. Para 6.1 of Annexure-l of MACPS is only for
exercising option for coming over to the revised pay
structure and not for grant of benefits under MACPS. The following
illustrations would explain the position
(A) In the case of isolated post:
Date of appointment in entry Grade in the pre-revised pay
scale of Rs.4000-6000: 01.10.1982
1st ACP granted on 09.08.1999 :Rs.4500-7000 (pre-revised)
2nd ACP due on 01.10.2006 :Rs.5000-8000 (pre-revised)
[revised PB-2 Grade Pay of Rs.4200]
3rd financial upgradation under the MACPS would be due on
01.102012 (on completion of30 years of continuous regular service) in the

(pre-revised)
2nd ACP due on 01.10.2006 (as
per the existing hierarchy) :Rs.10000-15200
(pre-revised).
Therefore, 2nd ACP would be in PB-3 with Grade Pay of
Rs.6600 (in terms of hierarchy available):
3rd financial
upgradation under MACPS would be due on 01.10.2012 in the immediate next
higher grade pay in the hierarchy of recommended revised pay band and grade

recruitment/deputation basis from another post in the same grade, then past
regular service as well as past promotions/ACP, in the earlier post, will be
counted for computing regular service for the purpose of MACPS in the new
hierarchy.
(ii) However, where a person is appointed to an
ex-cadre post in higher scale initially on deputation followed by
absorption, while the service rendered in the earlier post, which was in a
lower scale cannot be counted, there is no objection to the period spent
initially on deputation in the ex-cadre post prior to absorption being
counted towards regular service for the purposes of grant of financial
upgradation under MACPS, as it is in the same Pay band/grade
pay of the post
6 Whether the pay scale/grade pay of substantive post would be
taken into account for appointment/selection to a higher post on deputation
basis or the pay scale/grade pay carrying by a Government servant on account of financial upgradation(s) under ACP/MACP Scheme.
The pay scale/grade pay of substantive post would only be taken into account for deciding the eligibility for appointment/selection to a higher post on deputation basis.
7 In a case where 1st/2nd financial upgradations are postponed
on account of the employees not found fit or due to departmental
proceedings, etc, whether this would have consequential effect on 2nd /3rd
financial upgradation or not.
Yes. If a financial upgradation has been deferred/postponed on account of the employee not found fit or due to departmental proceedings,
etc., the 2nd /3rd financial upgradations under MACPs would have

8 In a case where the government servant have already earned
three promotions and still stagnated in one grade for more than 10 years,

promotions, he would not be entitled for any further financial upgradation

of Group D non-matriculate employees, would also be taken as merged to grade pay of Rs 1800 for the purpose of MACPS in view of merger of Rs 2550-3200,Rs 2610-3540, Rs 2610-4000 and Rs 2650-4000, which have been upgraded and replaced by the revised pay structure of grade pay of Rs 1800 in the pay band PB-1 Yes.

under MACPs in the present cadre, whether he would be entitled for
deputation (duty) allowance on the pay and emoluments granted under the
MACPS or not? No. while eligibility of an employee for appointment

ex-cadre post will continue to be determined with reference to the post/pay
scale of the post held in the parent cadre on regular basis (and not with
reference to the higher scale granted under ACPS/MACPS). such an officer, in
the event of his selection, may be allowed to opt to draw the pay in the
higher scale under ACP/MACP Scheme without deputation allowance during the
period of deputation, if it is more beneficial than the normal entitlements
under the existing general order regulating pay on appointment on deputation
basis.

immediate next higher grade pay in the hierarchy of recommended revised pay
band and grade pay i e Grade Pay of Rs 4600 in PB 2.
(B) In the case of normal promotional hierarchy:
Date of appointment in entry Grade in the prerevised pay
scale of Rs.5500-9000: 01.10.1982
1st ACP granted on 09.08.1999 :Rs.6500-10500
(pre-revised)
2nd ACP due on 01.10.2006 (as
per the existing hierarchy) :Rs.10000-15200
(pre-revised).
Therefore, 2nd ACP would be in PB-3 with Grade Pay of
Rs.6600 (in terms of hierarchy available):
3rd financial
upgradation under MACPS would be due on 01.10.2012 in the immediate next
higher grade pay in the hierarchy of recommended revised pay band and grade
pay of Rs.7600.
4 Whether the benefits of MACPS would be granted from the date
of entry grade or from the date of the regular service approved service
counted under various service rules.
The benefits under MACPS would be
available from the date of actual joining of the post
in the entry grade
5 In a case where a person is appointed to an ex-cadre post in
higher scale on deputation followed by absorption, whether the period spent
on deputation period would be counted as continuous service in the grade or
not for the purpose of MACPS
(i) Where a person is appointed on direct
recruitment/deputation basis from another post in the same grade, then past
regular service as well as past promotions/ACP, in the earlier post, will be
counted for computing regular service for the purpose of MACPS in the new
hierarchy.
(ii) However, where a person is appointed to an
ex-cadre post in higher scale initially on deputation followed by
absorption, while the service rendered in the earlier post, which was in a
lower scale cannot be counted, there is no objection to the period spent
initially on deputation in the ex-cadre post prior to absorption being
counted towards regular service for the purposes of grant of financial
upgradation under MACPS, as it is in the same Pay band/grade
pay of the post
6 Whether the pay scale/grade pay of substantive post would be
taken into account for appointment/selection to a higher post on deputation
basis or the pay scale/grade pay carrying by a Government servant on account of financial upgradation(s) under ACP/MACP Scheme.
The pay scale/grade pay of substantive post would only be taken into account for deciding the eligibility for appointment/selection to a higher post on deputation basis.
7 In a case where 1st/2nd financial upgradations are postponed
on account of the employees not found fit or due to departmental
proceedings, etc, whether this would have consequential effect on 2nd /3rd
financial upgradation or not.
Yes. If a financial upgradation has been deferred/postponed on account of the employee not found fit or due to departmental proceedings,
etc., the 2nd /3rd financial upgradations under MACPs would have
consequential effect. (Para 18 of annexure-I of MACPS referred).
8 In a case where the government servant have already earned
three promotions and still stagnated in one grade for more than 10 years,
whether he would be entitle for any further upgradation under MACPS No. Since the government servant has already earned three
promotions, he would not be entitled for any further financial upgradation
under MACPS.
9 Whether the pre-revised pay scale of Rs 2750-4400 in respect
of Group D non-matriculate employees, would also be taken as merged to grade pay of Rs 1800 for the purpose of MACPS in view of merger of Rs 2550-3200,Rs 2610-3540, Rs 2610-4000 and Rs 2650-4000, which have been upgraded and replaced by the revised pay structure of grade pay of Rs 1800 in the pay band PB-1 Yes.
10 If a government servant on deputation earns upgradation
under MACPs in the present cadre, whether he would be entitled for
deputation (duty) allowance on the pay and emoluments granted under the
MACPS or not? No. while eligibility of an employee for appointment
against ex-cadre posts, in terms of the provisions of the RRs of the
ex-cadre post will continue to be determined with reference to the post/pay
scale of the post held in the parent cadre on regular basis (and not with
reference to the higher scale granted under ACPS/MACPS). such an officer, in
the event of his selection, may be allowed to opt to draw the pay in the
higher scale under ACP/MACP Scheme without deputation allowance during the
period of deputation, if it is more beneficial than the normal entitlements
under the existing general order regulating pay on appointment on deputation
basis.
11 Since the pay scales of Group D employees have been merged
and placed in the Grade Pay of rs 1800, whether they are entitled for grant
of increment @ 3% during pay fixation at every stage. Yes. On the analogy of point 22 of Annexure-I of MACPS, the
pay of such Group 'D' employees who have been placed in the Grade Pay of Rs
1800 w.e.f. 01.01.2006 shall be fixed successively in the 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.

Govt employees near retirement should not be disturbed: CAT
New Delhi, Sep 5 (PTI) The Central Administrative Tribunal has held that government employees on the verge of superannuation should not be disturbed merely because they have stayed for a considerably long period at a particular place.
The apex tribunal said that such a benefit should be extended to superannuating employees to retire peacefully at a particular place after years of dedicated service.
"Merely because the applicants have a long stay and the transfer order could not be implemented so far would not by itself constitute sufficient reason.
"There is an objective based on considerations of welfare behind such provision in the transfer policy as it would enable a person about to retire after a long and devoted service to make arrangements for settling down thereafter with his family, acquire a house if not already done," Member N D Dayal said.

New Direct Tax Code: Pay less in taxes from April 2011
The Cabinet has cleared the Direct tax code and will be introduced in Rajya Sabha, and referred it to a select committee, during the monsoon session.
The new provisions under the Direct Tax Code are as follows:
•Tax for income between Rs. 2 lakh - Rs. 5 lakh: 10%
•Tax for income between Rs. 5 lakh - Rs. 10 lakh: 20%
•Tax for income over Rs. 10 lakh: 30%
The limit for exemptions for salaried people is Rs. 2 lakh, while that for senior citizens is Rs. 2.5 lakh.
Corporate tax has been kept at 30%.
The new Code comes into effect from April, 2011.
After the approval of the Cabinet, the decks are cleared for tabling the legislation in the Monsoon Session of Parliament so that the new Act ushering in reduced tax rates and exemptions may come into effect from next fiscal.
When enacted, the Code will replace the archaic Income Tax Act and simplify the whole direct tax regime in the country.
The Code aims at reducing tax rates, but expanding the tax base by minimising exemptions.
The Finance Ministry had earlier come out with a draft on the (Direct Tax Code) DTC bill, some of whose provisions drew strong criticism from industry as well as the public.
To address those issues, the ministry brought out the revised draft, dropping earlier proposals of taxing provident funds on withdrawal and levying Minimum Alternate Tax on corporates based on their assets.
"As of now, it is proposed to provide the EEE (Exempt-Exempt-Exempt) method of taxation for Government Provident Fund (GPF), Public Provident Fund (PPF) and Recognised Provident Funds (RPF) ...", the revised DTC released by the Finance Ministry said.
The revised draft also puts pensions administered by the interim regulator PFRDA, including pension of government employees who were recruited since January 2004, under EEE treatment.
The first DTC draft had proposed to tax all savings schemes including provident funds at the time of withdrawal bringing them under the EET (Exempt-Exempt-Tax) mode.
Under the EEE mode, the tax exemption is enjoyed at all the three stages - investment, accumulation and withdrawal.
The earlier DTC draft had proposed to reduce the corporate tax to 25 per cent from the present 30 per cent. The revised proposal has also made it clear that tax incentives on housing loans will continue. Payment on interest on housing loans up to Rs. 1.5 lakh will continue. The earlier draft was silent on housing loans.

Features of MACPS
Features of MACPS (Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme)
REFERENCE: 1. DOPT OM No: 35034/3/2008- Estt(d) dated 19/05/09.
The scheme would be operational from 01.09.08. In other words, financial upgradations as per old ACP of October 1999 would be granted till 31.08.08. (Para 8) A Screening Committee would be constituted and follow a time schedule to meet twice in a financial year preferably in the month of January (April to September) and of July (October to March).( (Para 6).
Financial upgradation under MACPS is purely personal to the employee and staff shall have no relevance to his seniority position. As such no stepping up of pay in the PB & GP would be admissible with regard to junior getting more pay than the senior on account of pay fixation under MACPS.(Para 9 & 20).
No past cases would be reopened. The differences in pay scales on account of grant of financial upgradations under old ACP and new MACP within the same cadre shall not be construed as anomaly (Para 10).
There shall be three financial upgradations under MACPS counted from the direct entry grade on completion of 10, 20 and 30 years. (Para 1 of Annexure).
All cadres including Group A (excluding organized Gr.A services) are eligible for grant of MACP. (Para 3).
The financial upgradation under the MACPS would be admissible up to the highest grade pay of 12,000 in PB-4. (Para 3 of Annexure).
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 be no further fixation at the time of regular promotion if it is the same grade pay as granted under MACPS. Financial up gradation will be in next higher grade pay in the hierarchy of Grade Pay and not in the promotional hierarchy (as it was earlier). (Para 4).
An employee who completes 10 years of service in a particular grade will qualify for grant of MACP. Service rendered in a lower grade will not be counted for grant of MACP after completion of total qualifying service of 10 years. For example if an employee gets regular promotion to the next grade after completion of 5 years of service in a particular grade, he will have to wait till the completion of 15 years of regular service for 2nd MACP. Likewise 3rd MACP for him will be given after completion of 25 years of regular service (Illustration 1 Para 28 (i) and (ii)). However, after 1st regular promotion or 1st MACP, completion of 10 years of regular service in a grade or total qualifying service of 20 years or 30 years whichever falls earlier will be the milestone for grant of next MACP (Illustration 3 Para 28 B).
The service rendered by the existing employees prior to implementation of the MACPS viz., prior to 1.9.2008, will also be taken in to account for calculating the 10, 20 and 30 year milestones for granting MACP.(Para 9 of Annexure).
Similarly, employees who were granted financial upgradation under previous ACP scheme i.e., prior to the introduction of MACPS with effect from 1.9.2008, will be eligible for financial upgradation under MACPS after completion of 20 years and 30 years of service, irrespective of regular promotion given to them if any, between their 10 to 20 years of service or between 20 years and 30 years of service. For example if an employee was given 1st ACP under old ACP Scheme after completion of 12 years of service and a regular promotion after completion of 18 years of service, he will be eligible for 2nd MACP after completion of 20 years of service. (Para 9 of Annexure and Illustrations in Para 5 and Para 28).
Promotions earned /upgrading 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 upgradation under MACPS.(Para 5 of Annexure).
Financial benefit an employee gets as a result of pay fixation during MACP will be 3% of basic pay (pay in pay band plus the grade pay before MACP) and the difference in Grade pay before MACP and grade pay after MACP.Option for fixation of pay is also available. (Para 4 and 7 of Annexure).
If an employee gets a regular promotion to a grade which carries same grade pay which he is receiving now after grant of MACP, no further pay fixation will be allowed at the time of said regular promotion. If an employee gets a regular promotion to a grade which carries higher grade pay than the grade pay he is receiving now after grant of MACP, no further pay fixation will be allowed on account of the fact that his pay would have been fixed at the time of grant of MACP itself. However, difference in the grade pay he is getting now and the next grade pay in the hierarchy will be allowed as monetary benefit at the time of promotion. (Para 4 of Annexure).
In the case of employees who have been either promoted or given ACP prior to 6CPC implementation from a grade to another grade, pay scales of which have been merged now after 6CPC implementation, the said promotion or ACP shall be ignored and those emplyees are to be considered for financial upgradations equivalent to the number of milestones they have completed viz., 10 years , 20 years and 30 years milestones as the case may be prescribed in the MACPS for financial upgradations. (Para 5 and illustration thereof).
In cases where ACP was granted as per previous ACP scheme, but whereas after 6CPC implementation the next higher post which the employee got through ACP has been upgraded with 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 an employee, who was granted 1st ACP in old ACP scheme to the grade which carried the pre-revised scale of Rs.6500-10500 corresponding to the revised grade pay of Rs.4200 in the pay band PB-2, he would now be granted grade pay of Rs.4600 in the pay band PB-2 consequent upon upgradation of the post to the grade pay of Rs.4600 in PB-2. However, from the date of implementation of the MACPS viz., from 1.9.2008, all the financial upgradations under the Scheme should be done strictly in accordance with the hierarchy of grade pays in pay bands as notified. (Para 6.2 of Annexure).
Grade Pay of Rs.5400 in PB-2 and Grade pay of Rs.5400 in PB-3 are two different Grade Pay for the purpose of MACP (Para 8.1 of Annexure1 to MACP Order dated 19.05.09.)
Bench Mark (CCR/ACR Gradings) is “Good” up to GP 6600 thereafter is should be “Very Good”. (Para 17 of Annexure1 to MACP Order dated 19.05.09). ‘Regular Service’ for the purpose of MACPS shall commence from the date of joining of a post in regular basis either on direct recruitment or on absorption / reemployment basis. (Para 9 of Annexure1 to MACP Order dated 19.05.09). If financial upgradations will not be allowed under MACPS after 10years due to DAR proceedings, this would have consequential effect on the subsequent financial upgradations. (Para 15 of Annexure1 to MACP Order dated 19.05.09). On grant of financial upgradations under MACPS, there shall be no change in designation, classification or higher status. (Para 16 of Annexure1 to MACP Order dated 19.05.09).
If a regular promotion has been denied by the employee before becoming entitlement of financial upgradation, no financial upgradation shall be allowed. However financial upgradation will be allowed due to stagnation and subsequently refuses the promotion. (Para 25 of Annexure1 to MACP Order dated 19.05.09).
