Subject:- Regarding granting of benefits under Assured Career Progression Scheme (4-9-14 & 8-16-24-32) in respect of State Government employees.
Sir/Madam,
On the subject cited above, I am directed to invite a reference to Para No. 3 (a) of this Department's letter No. Fin(PR)B(7)-59/2010 dated: 9th August, 2012, which envisage that a government employee after rendering a service of 4, 9 and 14 years in a post or posts without any financial enhancement in the same cadre/rost. who is not promoted to a higher level on account of non availability of a vacancy or non existence of a promotional avenue in the cadre, shall be granted the grade pay, which is next higher in the hiemrchy of grade pays given in the schedule annexed to Revised Pay Rules, 2009, upto the maximum grade puy of Rs. 8900 and on placement in the next higher grade pay in the hierarchy of grade pays after a service of 4, 9 and 14 years, the pay of an employee shall be fixed at the next higher stage in the pay band.
2. Various quarters are seeking clarifications from the Government with regard to the point that on granting the either benefits under ACP Schemes whether increment is to be granted first or the next grade pay in the hierarchy. It is clarified that increment @ 3% on the old basic pay (pay in the pay band plus grade pay) may be computed first and then next grade pay in the hierarchy of grade pays may be granted to fix the pay of an employee as per illustration given below:-
ILLUSTRATION:-
An employee "X" was promoted to the post of Senior Assistant in the pre-revised pay scale of Rs. 5800-9200 on 20.01.2006 and he opted for new ACP Scheme w.e.f. 27.08.2009 under the FD's instructions dated: 09.08,2012. He was drawing basic pay of Rs. 15710 (Pay in the pay band Rs. 11910 + Rs. 3800 grade pay) as on 01.01.2010 and was due, for the benefit under ACP Scheme on completion of 4 years service from 20.01.2010 on notional basis and on actual basis w.e.f. 09.08.2012. The pay of incumbent on grant of benefit under ACP Scheme in pay structure of Rs. 10300-34800 + Rs. 4200 grade pay shall be fixed in the following manner:-

4. It has come to the notice of the Finance Department that certain departments are not adhering to the above note and while allowing the either benefit under ACP Sthemes to an employee' who is serving, in the pay structure of Rs. 10300-34800 + Rs. 5400 grade pay are fixing his pay in the pay structure of Rs. 15600-39100 + Rs. 5700 grade pay which is against the provision of rules. It is emphasized that pay of said employee is to be fixed in the pay structure of Rs. 15600-39100 + Rs. 5400 grade pay while allowing either benefits under ACP Scheme instead of pay structure of Rs. 15600·39100 + Rs. 5700 grade pay irrespective of the fact that grade pay is same but pay bands are different.
