Performance is the main constraint on Annual Increment in 7th CPC
Withholding Annual Increments of Non-performers after 20 Years
There is a widespread perception
that increments as well as upward movement in the hierarchy happen as a
matter of course. The perception is that grant of MACP, although
subject to the employee attaining the laid down threshold of
performance, is taken for granted. This Commission believes that
employees who do not meet the laid down performance criterion should not
be allowed to earn future annual increments.
The Commission is therefore
proposing withholding of annual increments in the case of those
employees who are not able to meet the benchmark either for MACP or a
regular promotion within the first 20 years of their service.
This will act as a deterrent for
complacent and inefficient employees. However, since this is not a
penalty, the norms for penal action in disciplinary cases involving
withholding increments will not be applicable in such cases. This will
be treated as an “efficiency bar”. Additionally, for such employees
there could be an option to leave service on similar terms and
conditions as prescribed for voluntary retirement.
