Ministry of Urban Develepment
Nirman Bhavan, New Delhi-1101
Secretary to the Government of India
D.O. No. 55/4/2-13-S&D
Dated 13-08-13
Dear Dr.Sayamal,
Issue
of redressal of anomalous and disadvantageous provisions of MACPS for
the Subordinate Engineering cadre and similarly placed cadres of CPWD
has been taken up with DoPT through several proposals since Me very
inception of the scheme but none of the proposals has found favour. This
has resulted in great discontent to the Subordinate Engineering cadre
of CPWD.
Above issue was also discussed with you
informally on 1.8.2013. It was apprised that individual option to choose
either earlier ACPS or MACPS by the employee is the only solution to
cater to the concerns of all individuals. A proposal of this Ministry in
this regard under consideration in DoPT.
As the
matter concerns above 6000 subordinate Engineers of CPWD, I would
request that they may be allowed to exercise their individual option to
choose either earlier ACPS or MACPS. This will not only alleviate the
discontent in the cadre but also avoid cropping up of the court cases.
With regards
Yours sincerely

Secretary to the Government of India
D.O. No. 55/4/2-13-S&D/8
Dated 01 Oct 2013
Dear Dr. Sarkar,
Kindly
refer to my DO letter of even No dt. 13.8.2013 in connect:on with
redressal of disadvantageous provisions of MACPS for the Subordinate
Engineering cadre and similarly placed cadres CPWD.
The
proposal sent by this Ministry in Jul'2013 for allowing individual
option to choose either earlier ACPS or MACPS by the employee is a
balanced and just one and caters to the concerns of all individuals.
DoPT must not have any reservation in accepting the same since change
of the scheme by the Government should not be to the disadvantage of the
individual employee.
Already many court cases
for review of the MACPS have cropped in. In this regard, would like to
quote a Court Case (OA No. 275/2013) by some Assistant Engineers of CPWD
for review of MACPS, draft counter reply to which quoting anomalous end
disadvantageous provisions of MACPS was sent to DoPT for vetting. DoPT
has not agreed to the reply and intimated that reply should be modified
by the administrative ministry mentioning that operation of the both the
schemes in the same cadre is against the provisions of MACPS other
words individual option to employees to opt for either ACPS or MACPS is
not permissible.
In this context, I would also
bring to the notes that CAT, Chandigarh in OA No. 1038/2010 has allowed
grant of financial upgradations under MACP in the promotional hierarchy,
which has been upheld by Hon'ble High Court of Chandigarh in CWP
1938712011. Although the the case has not achieved fatality as the SLP
had by the Government the in the Hon`ble Supreme Court was dismissed
though not on merits but on account of non condonation of delay. Thus by
allowing individual option. Government shall be saved of many expected
court cases and possible grant of financial upgradations in the
promotional hierarchy under MACPS.
Discontent in
tno cadres is affecting the efficient functioning of the Department.
The problem shall further aggravate, if above proposal of this ministry
does not find favour or DoPT in the circumstances would once again
request to consider the proposal favourably, for allowing option to
choose either ACP or MACPS by the individual.
With regards
Yours sincerely,
