Obviously this is a very discriminatory financial up gradation and is, therefore quite anomalous and unjust dispensation. To undo this anomaly it is proposed that either the MACP may be based on promotion hierarchy (as in old ACP) or their first financial up gradation be done by adopting old ACP.
It is also submitted that erstwhile ACP scheme was implemented on the recommendations of the 5th CP and, as such, has already become a part of service conditions of the employees. Therefore it is contended that the department cannot impose the MACP schemes thereby altering the service conditions to the detriment of the employees.
It is once again reiterated that the financial up gradation under MACP scheme should be granted in the promotional hierarchy of post instead of the grade pay hierarchy as there is no assurance of carrier the post nor the salary in the MACP scheme.
