Granting of Rs.4600 to MCM on 3rd MACP for Defence civilians

To
Secretary,
DOP&T
New Delhi
Brief about Master Craftsman granting MACP – III to Rs.4600/- Grade Pay in Defence
Master Craftsman in Defence were drawing the pay scale Rs.4500 – 7000 prior to 01.01.2006.
Through
Fast Track committee on the recommendations of 6th CPC, Master
craftsman (MCM) were upgraded to Rs.4200/- Grade Pay w.e.f. 01.01.2006
at par with Railways – vide M of D letter No.11 (5)/2009-D(Civ-I) dt
14.06.2010 and the re-structuring of Artisans were implemented by
introducing 4 grade structure i.e., Skilled, HS Grade – II, HS Grade-I
and MCM with a ratio of 45 : 20.625 : 20.625 : 13.75% respectively.
Principle
Controller of Accounts Fys (PC of A(FYS), Kolkatta vide their letter
No.Pay/Tech-II/04/2011/15 dated 26.10.2011 and 12.12.2011 clarified that
the Industrial Employees who become MCM before 01.01.2006 is eligible
for 3rd MACP in the Grade Pay of Rs.4600/-.
ISSUE
|
CLARIFICATION
|
| Whether
an Industrial Employee who was placed to MCM before 01.01.2006 and
promoted to MCM on 01.01.2006 is eligible for 3rd MACP with Grade Pay of
Rs.4600 after 30 years on the plea that he was granted only two
up-gradations in his entire service i.e. Skilled to HS and HS to MCM | YES,
such MCM is eligible for 3rd MACP with Grade Pay Rs.4600/- after 30
years of service if found otherwise eligible, as they got two promotions
prior to 01.01.2006 i.e. Skilled to HS and HS to MCM. But those
Industrial Employees who were not placed to MCM before 01.01.2006 are
not eligible for 3rd MACP because such persons have got or shall get
promotion from Skilled to HS –II, from HS II to HS I and HS I to MCM, so
there is no scope for 3rd MACP upgradation. |
After
issue of the above clarifications by the PC of A (FYS) Kolkatta, Master
Craftsman (MCM) who became MCM before 01.01.2006 were granted 3rd MACP
to Rs.4600/- Grade Pay on completion of 30 years of service.
Subsequently
the
DOP&T vide their letter DOP&T I.D.No.7680/12/CR dated
13.07.2012 and M of D I.D. No.11 (5)/2009-D (Civ-I) Dated 23.07.2012
clarified.
a)
Para 8 of Annexure-1 of DOP&T OM No.35034/3/2008-Est(D) dt.
19.05.2009 of MACPs provides that promotion earned in the post carrying
same grade pay in the promotional post carrying same grade pay in the
promotional hierarchy as per recruitment rules shall be counted for the
purpose of MACPs. Financial up-gradation under MACPs in respect of
Master Craftsman will be in the same Grade Pay of Rs.4200/- as that of
the Promotional post of Chargeman.
b)
ACP/MACP schemes have been introduced by the Government in order to
mitigate stagnation faced by employees due to lack of promotional
avenues. Financial up-gradation under ACP/MACP scheme cannot be more
than what can be allowed to an employee on his normal promotion. It may
be classified that placement of Highly Skilled Grade as Master Craftsman
prior to 01.01.2006 is to be treated as one Promotion for the purpose
of MACP benefits.
After
issue of the above clarifications, the IEs who became MCM prior to
01.01.2006 and who were granted Rs.4200/- Grade Pay were denied the 3rd
MACP and the up-gradation of Pay was considered as promotion. Similarly,
MCM who got Chargeman which is also having identical pay were also
counted as promotion and the Grade Pay Rs.4600/- granted have been
denied. Now, accounts authorities have fixed pay be revising to
Rs.4200/- Grade Pay accordingly, MCM employees on their superannuation,
pension and all other terminal benefits have been re-fixed and paid on
the Grade Pay of Rs.4200/-.
Representation
was sent by the Federations and by Ordnance Factory Board to M of D
which was forwarded to DOP&T in which we have submitted that:
As per clarification No.35 of DOP&T OM F.No.35035/1/97-Estt(D)(Vol-IV) dt 15th July 2001 which is being reproduced.
| Sl.No | Point of Doubt | Clarification |
| 35 | Whether
Placement/ Appointment in higher scales of Pay based on the
recommendation of the Pay commissions or committees set up to
rationalize the cadre is to be reckoned as Promotion/Financial
up-gradation and offset against the two financial up-gradations
applicable under the ACP Scheme? | Where all the post are placed
in Higher scale of Pay, with or without a change in the designation,
without requirement of any new qualification for holding the post in the
higher grade, not specified in the Recruitment Rules for the existing
post and without involving any change in responsibilities and duties,
then placement of all the incumbents against such upgraded posts is not
be treated as promotion/upgradation |
a)
As per DOP&T OM of 2001 mentioned above, it is clear that all the
posts of MCM as on 31.12.2005 were enbloc upgraded to higher pay scale,
the higher pay scale granted to MCM w.e.f 01.01.2006 cannot be treated
as promotion. Accordingly the MCM who are placed in the pre-revised pay
scale of Rs.5000-8000 w.e.f 01.01.2006 are entitled for their next
ACP/MACP in PB2 +Grade Pay Rs.4600/- by ignoring the higher pay scale
granted to them w.e.f. 01.01.2006.
b)
The post of MCM was not a post of hierarchy prior to 01.01.2006 and it
was part of HS Grade. The ratio which was introduced for Industrial
Employees in M of D w.e.f. 20.05.2003, the ratio was 45:55 between
Skilled and HS Grade respectively 25% of 55% was placed as MCM which is a
part of hierarchy till 31.12.2005. Therefore MCM placed from HS Grade
was not treated as promotion only after 01.01.2006; it was treated as a
separate grade.
c)
The post of MCM, is part of hierarchy w.e.f.01.01.2006 but not a feeder
post to Chargeman and as such any movement from MCM to Chargeman cannot
be treated as promotion in the identical Grade Pay.
| From 20.05.2003 | w.e.f 01.01.2006 |
| Skilled - 45% | Skilled - 45% |
| HS Grade - 55% | HS Grade II - 20.625% |
| MCM - 25% of 55% | HS Grade I - 20.625% |
| Only two grades were there till 31.12.2005 | MCM - 13.75% |
Thus,
till 31.12.2005, MCM was part of HS Grade and it was treated as part of
HS Grade and was treated as placement and not counted for ACP.
Skilled -------- HS Grade I Promotion/ I ACP
HS Grade --- MCM II ACP
MCM --------- was granted 3rd MACP w.e.f. 01.09.2008
Further,
ACP – II to the erstwhile pay of Rs.5000-8000 was granted prior to the
promotion of MCM and subsequently they were promoted to Rs.4500 – 7000
but they continue to draw the ACP scale Rs.5000 – 8000 prior to
01.01.2006.
They were also denied the benefit of 3rd MACP after 01.09.2008 which is unfair.
MCM
to Chargeman is not a feeder post only as per SRO HS I is the feeder
post thus MCM to be treated as re-designation and not as promotion.
Therefore,
denial of 3rd MACP is not as per the DOP&T clarification of
2001.They should be allowed to continue in Rs.4600/- Grade Pay as was
granted.
Yours Sincerely,

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: - ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION SCHEME FOR THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES - CLARIFICATIONS REGARDING
The
undersigned is directed to invite reference to the Department of
Personnel and Training Office Memorandum of even number dated August 9,
1999 regarding the Assured Career Progression Scheme (ACPS) and
subsequent Office Memorandum dated February 10, 2000 clarifying the
various points of doubt received from various quarters.
2.
Some more situations in which a doubt persists in various organizations
in regard to applicability/implementation of ACP Scheme have been
brought to the notice of this Department. These have been duly examined
and appropriate advice has been conveyed in individual cases. However,
as it is observed that similar doubts are being received from various
other Ministries/Departments/Organizations, it has been considered
appropriate to issue a second set of clarificatory orders containing
point-wise clarification to the additional points of doubt.
3.
Cases where the ACP Scheme has already been implemented shall be
reviewed/rectified if the same are not found to be in accordance with
the scheme/clarifications. 3. All Ministries/Departments may give wide
circulation to these clarificatory instructions for general guidance and
appropriate action in the matter.
4. Hindi version would follow.

Point of doubt
|
Clarification
|
33.
|
An
employee was promoted from Grade ‘A’ to Grade ‘C’. Grade ‘B’ was
introduced in the hierarchy in between Grade ‘A’ and Grade ‘C’
subsequent to such promotion. Will he be entitled to any more financial
upgradation under the ACP Scheme (ACPS) considering that he is already
placed in the third level of the hierarchy?
|
The reply
is in the affirmative. The employee has got only one promotion in his
career as per the hierarchy existing at the time of his promotion. The
subsequent creation of the post in Grade ‘B’ will not, therefore, make
any material difference in the situation in relation to the case of this
employee for the purpose of grant of second financial upgradation under
ACPS The newly created Grade ‘B’ would, as such, need to be ignored in
his case. However, persons in Grade ‘A’, who become entitled to
financial upgradation only after introduction of Grade ‘B’ in the
hierarchy, will be entitled for grant of financial upgradation only in
Grade ‘B’ subject to fulfillment of the other stipulations and
conditions specified in the ACP Scheme introduced on 9.8.1999.
|
34.
|
An
employee has superannuated after 9.8.1999, i.e. the date from which
ACPS was introduced. He had completed the required eligibility service
as on 9.8.1999 for grant of financial upgradation but he retired on
superannuation before the Screening Committee could meet to assess his
suitability for grant of benefits under ACPS. Will he be entitled for
financial upgradation under ACPS?
|
In terms of
condition no. 3 of the ACP Scheme introduced vide O.M. dated 9.8.1999,
the financial benefit under the ACPS shall be granted from the date of
completion of the eligibility period prescribed under the ACPS or from
the date of issue of the instructions whichever is later. Therefore, in
respect of employees who had completed eligibility service as on
9.8.1999 but retired prior to meeting of the first Screening Committee
meeting, if the assessment to decide grant of financial upgradation is
based on ACRs and other service records, the employees who retired after
9.8.1999 may also be considered by the Screening Committee and, if
recommended for grant of financial upgradation, such employees may be
allowed the benefit of ACPS from the due date. If, however, the
assessment also includes passing of a trade test/skill test/written
examination (as prescribed for regular promotion) under ACPS and the
employee had not qualified in such tests already, then it may not be
possible to consider the retired persons, as assessment based on such
tests is not possible after the date of superannuation.
|
35.
|
Whether
placement/appointment in higher scales of pay based on the
recommendations of the Pay Commissions or Committees set up to
rationalise the cadres is to be reckoned as promotion/financial
upgradation and offset against the two financial upgradations applicable
under the ACP Scheme?
|
Where all the posts are placed
in a higher scale of pay, with or without a change in the designation;
without requirement of any new qualification for holding the post in the
higher grade, not specified in the Recruitment Rules for the existing
post, and without involving any change in responsibilities and duties,
then placement of all the incumbents against such upgraded posts is not
be treated as promotion/upgradation. Where, however,
rationalisation/restructuring involves creation of a number of new
hierarchical grades in the rationalised set up and some of the
incumbents in the pre-rationalised set up are placed in the hierarchy of
the restructured set up in a grade higher than the normal corresponding
level taking into consideration their length of service in existing
pre-structured/pre-rationalised grade, then this will be taken as
promotion/upgradation.
If the
rationalised/restructured grades require possession of a specific nature
of qualification and experience, not specified for the existing posts
in pre-rationlised set up, and existing incumbents in pre-rationalised
scales/pre-structured grades, who are in possession of the required
qualification/ experience are placed directly in the rationalised
upgraded post, such placement will also not be viewed as
promotion/upgradation. However, if existing incumbents in the
pre-rationalised grades who do not possess the said qualification/
experience are considered for placement in the corresponding
rationalised grade only after completion of specified length of service
in the existing grade, then such a placement will be taken as
promotion/upgradation.
Where placement in a
higher grade involves assumption of higher responsibilities and duties,
then such upgradation will be viewed as promotion/upgradation.
Where
only a part of the posts are placed in a higher scale and rest are
retained in the existing grade, thereby involving redistribution of
posts, then it involves creation of another grade in the hierarchy
requiring framing of separate recruitment rules for the upgraded posts.
Placement of existing incumbents to the extent of upgradations involved,
in the upgraded post will also be treated as promotion/upgradation and
offset against entitlements under the ACPS.
For
any doubts in this regard, matter should be referred to the Department
of Personnel and Training (Establishment ‘D’ Section) giving all
relevant details.

36.
|
An
employee was initially appointed on deputation in a grade higher than
the grade of the post held on regular basis and was subsequently
absorbed against the ex-cadre post. Will such initial period of
deputation in the higher grade prior to date of absorption be counted
towards residency period/ ‘regular service’ for purposes of ACPS?
|
In
reply to points of doubt No. 4 to 6 in DoP&T O.M. dated 10.2.2000,
it has been stated that where a person is appointed on direct
recruitment/transfer basis from another post in the same grade, then
past regular service as well as past promotions, in the earlier post,
will be counted for computing regular service for the purpose of ACPS in
the new hierarchy. The reason being that so long as service is in the
same scale during the period in question, it is immaterial whether he
has been holding different posts in the same scale. However, if the
appointment is made to a post in a higher grade, then such appointment ,
whether by direct recruitment or by transfer or initially on deputation
followed by absorption, will be treated as direct recruitment and past
service/promotion (which was in a different scale) will not be counted
In
the case 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 can not 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 ACPS as it is in the same scale of pay and same post.
|
37.
|
Whether it is necessary to have SC/ST members in the Screening Committees set up for grant of ACPS?
|
As
clarified vide condition no. 12 of ACP Scheme (vide DoP&T O.M.
dated 9.8.1999), reservation orders/roster shall not apply to the ACP
Scheme. Consequently, it is not necessary to have an officer from SC/ST
communities on the Screening Committee constituted for deciding the
suitability of the employee for upgradations under ACPS.
|
38.
|
A
person has refused a vacancy-based promotion offered to him prior to
his becoming eligible for financial upgradation under ACPS, on personal
grounds. Will he be eligible for financial upgradation under ACPS? A
person had refused a regular promotion for personal reasons. He has
since completed 24 years’ of service. Will he be entitled for 2nd
financial upgradation?
|
The ACP Scheme has been
introduced to provide relief in cases of acute stagnation where the
employees, despite being eligible for promotion in all respects, are
deprived of regular promotion for long periods due to non-availability
of vacancies in the higher grade. Cases of holders of isolated posts
have also been covered under ACPS, as they do not have any promotional
avenues. However, where a promotion has been offered before the employee
could be considered for grant of benefit under ACPS but he refuses to
accept such promotion, then he cannot be said to be stagnating as he has
opted to remain in the existing grade on his own volition. As such,
there is no case for grant of ACPS in such cases. The official can be
considered for regular promotion again after the necessary debarment
period.
In the second case also, since in terms
of condition No. 10 of the ACPS, on grant of ACPS, the employee shall
be deemed to have given his unqualified acceptance for regular promotion
on occurrence of vacancy, the officer will have to give in writing his
acceptance of the regular promotion when offered again after the
debarment period before he can be considered for grant of second
financial upgradation under ACPS.
|
39.
|
An
employee is appointed to a lower grade as a result of unilateral
transfer on personal request in terms of FR 15(2). Will the period of
service rendered in the higher post count for the purposes of ACPS?
|
Condition
no. 14 of the ACPS (DoP&T O.M. dated 9.8.1999), inter-alia, states
that in case of transfer including unilateral transfer on request,
regular service rendered in previous organisation shall be counted along
with regular service in the new organisation for the purposes of
getting financial upgradation under the Scheme. This condition covers
cases where a unilateral transfer is to a lower post. However, financial
upgradations under the ACPS shall be allowed in the hierarchy of the
new post.
|
40.
|
An employee
drawing pay in the scale of Rs.800-1150 (pre-revised) was declared
surplus and was re-deployed as Peon in a Ministry through the Surplus
Cell in the scale of Rs.750-940 (pre-revised). However, he was allowed
to draw pay in the scale of Rs.800-1150 as personal to him even after
redeployment in the lower grade. What shall be his entitlements under
ACPS?
|
As the employee has remained in the scale of
Rs.800-1150 all along and has not availed any promotion, he is entitled
to two financial upgradations in a scale higher than Rs.800-1150
(pre-revised) irrespective of the post actually held after redeployment.
Since in the Ministry, a Group ‘D’ employee is eligible for promotion
to the grade of LDC provided he is a matriculate and as a post in the
scale of Rs.825-1200 (S-4) is not in the normal hierarchy in the
Secretariat, such an employee can be considered for two financial
upgradations in the grades of LDC and UDC provided he is a matriculate
Otherwise he will get only one financial upgradation in the revised
scale of Rs.825-1200 (Rs.2750-4400 revised). Cases of other persons
re-deployed to lower posts through the Surplus Cell may also be
regulated accordingly.
|
41.
|
A
cadre consists of 4 Grades - ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’ and ‘D’ (in ascending
order). Upon restructuring of a cadre, Grade ‘B’ is abolished from a
date subsequent to 9.8.1999. Employees recruited in Grade ‘A’, who are
eligible for financial upgradation on or after 9.8.1999 but before the
date of effect of restructuring, get first/second financial upgradation
in Grade ‘B’ and Grade ‘C’ respectively but those who become eligible
for financial upgradation after the restructuring has been effected are
entitled to first financial upgradation in Grade ‘C’ and second
financial upgradation in Grade ‘D’. This is anomalous. The cases of
earlier set of employees should be reviewed and they may be allowed
financial upgradations as applicable to the latter category of
employees.
|
The benefit of ACP Scheme is to be allowed
as per the hierarchy existing, as on the date the employees become
eligible for financial upgradation under ACPS. . Cadres/hierarchical
structures are never static and are always subject to review based on
recommendations of Pay Commissions/Expert Committees or otherwise and it
is not possible to review the entitlements under ACPS already earned
every time a cadre is reviewed. ACPS is only a temporary solution to
provide relief to stagnating employees and the lasting solution for
stagnation lies in review of cadre structures, as regular promotions
will be earned in such restructured grades. All the employees will
benefit from such cadre restructuring.
|
42.
|
An
employee in Grade ‘A’ is eligible for promotion simultaneously to
Grades ‘B’, ‘C’ and ‘D’ (in ascending order) with varying requirements
of length of service in the present grade. In other words, he has
multiple channels of promotion. What shall be his eligibility under the
ACP?
|
Provisions in the existing Recruitment Rules in
various organisations providing for multiple channels for promotion are
not consistent with the guidelines on framing of the Recruitment Rules.
All such Rules should be reviewed immediately so as to provide only a
single channel of promotion. However, till such a review is undertaken,
the first financial upgradation in such cases shall be allowed with
reference to the lowest promotional Grade which is Grade ‘B’ If he does
not earn any promotion in 24 years, his second financial upgradation
will be as per the hierarchy of Grade ‘B’. However, if he has already
earned one regular promotion, then his second financial upgradation
shall be as per the hierarchy of the Grade to which he has been
promoted.
|
43.
|
Whether
service rendered in an autonomous body/statutory body/ State Government
prior to appointment in Central Government as a direct recruit prior to
appointment in the Central Government will be counted while computing
regular service for the purpose of grant of financial upgradations under
the ACP Scheme?
|
ACP Scheme is applicable to Central
Government Civilian employees and for the purpose of financial
upgradations under the ACP Scheme, only the regular service rendered
after regular appointment in a Central Government civilian post is to be
counted. Therefore, service rendered in an autonomous body/statutory
body/State Government is not to be counted for the purpose.
Correspondingly, promotions earned in these bodies prior to appointment
in the Central Government are also to be ignored. The clarification in
reply to point of doubt no. 4 to 6 in DoP&T O.M. dated 10.2.2000
providing for counting of past service in another organisation in the
same grade is only in relation to past service in a civilian post held
in the Central Government.
|
44.
|
On
the basis of recommendations of the Fifth Central Pay Commission, a
uniform pay structure has been introduced for Stenographers in the
non-Secretariat organisations whereby the posts have been distributed in
the ratio of 40:40:20 in the grades of Stenographer Grade-III
(Rs.4000-6000), Stenographer Grade-II (Rs.5000-8000) and Stenographers
Grade-I (Rs.5500-9000) However, in a particular non-Secretariat
organisation, there is only an isolated post of Stenographer in the
scale of Rs.4000-6000. Will he be entitled to financial upgradations in
the scale of Rs.4500-7000 and Rs.5000-8000 as per Annexure II to O.M.
dated 9.8.1999 or can he be allowed financial upgradations in the grades
of Stenographer Grade-II and Stenographer Grade-I ?
|
In
reply to point of doubt No. 10 in DoP&T O.M. dated 10.2.2000, it
has been stated that the scales of pay for ACPS for isolated posts shall
be same as those applicable for similar posts in the same
Ministry/Department/Cadre except where the Pay Commission has
recommended specific pay scales for mobility under ACPS. Such cases may
be specifically examined by respective Ministries/Departments in
consultation with the Department of Personnel and Training. In the case
of remaining isolated posts, the pay scales contained in Annexure-II of
O.M. dated August 9, 1999 shall apply. Thus, hierarchy in Annexure-II of
O.M. dated August, 9, 1999 applies where Pay Commission has not made
any specific recommendation regarding scales to be allowed under the
ACPS and where it is not possible to identify similar posts in same
organisation. In the case of stenographers in non-Secretariat
organisations, which is a common category post, the Pay Commission has
recommended a uniform grade structure for which has been accepted by the
Government. Since the isolated post of Stenographer in scale of
Rs.4000-6000 in a subordinate office is comparable to corresponding
posts of Stenographer Grade-III in other non-Secretariat organisations
under the same Ministry, the uniform pay (grade) structure for
Stenographers may be adopted for the purpose of allowing financial
upgradations to the said isolated post. In the instant case of an
isolated post of Stenographer (Rs.4000-6000) in a non-Sect organisation,
first and the second financial upgradations may be allowed in the
scales of Rs.5000-8000 (Steno Grade-II) and Rs.5500-9000 (Stenographer
Grade-I) respectively provided he is otherwise eligible. A similar
approach can be adopted in respect of all other isolated posts belonging
to common categories for which Pay Commission has similarly recommended
a uniform grade structure which has been accepted and notified in part
‘B’ of the Ministry of Finance notification dated September 30, 1997 or
agreed to by the Government subsequently. If such an isolated post is in
a Central Ministry/Department, then the structure as recommended and
accepted for similar common category posts in the Central Ministry/
Department may be adopted. If the isolated post is in a non-Secretariat
organisation, then the uniform hierarchy as recommended for similar
posts in the non-Secretariat organisations may be followed.

|
In
certain organisations, an employee after his selection on direct
recruitment basis or even on promotion is required to undergo an
induction training before he is given a functional post. Whether such
induction training shall count towards the eligibility service for ACPS?
|
If
under the relevant Recruitment/Service Rules, the induction training
counts towards eligibility service for regular promotion, the same will
also be counted towards the 12-years/24 years residency period/regular
service required for financial upgradations under ACP Scheme.
|
46.
|
A
person is working in the immediate promotional grade on ad-hoc basis.
Is he eligible for financial upgradation under the ACP Scheme? Will his
pay be refixed.?
|
An ad-hoc promotion is made only in
an exigency of work where the post cannot be kept vacant and such
appointment is to be discontinued as soon as a regular incumbent is
appointed. In terms of existing guidelines, continuation of such
arrangement beyond one year is also subject to prior concurrence of
DoP&T. Thus such an employee can be reverted to the original regular
post at any moment. Therefore, case of an employee holding the higher
promotional grade/any other post on ad-hoc basis, for grant of financial
upgradation under ACPS cannot be ignored. Upon being recommended for
grant of
