Dear Sir,

Sub: Grant of financial up-gradation under MACPS in the promotional hierarchy- (instead of Grade Pay hierarchy) – Item No.3 of Record Note of discussion held between the Federation and EDs, Railway Board on 12/10/2015 on MACPS Anomalies-reg.

Ref: Railway Board’s letter No. PC-V/M/4/NFIR/pt dated 04/01/2016.

NFIR provides below the details of the cadres to whom ACP Scheme was more advantageous than the MACP Scheme introduced by the Railway Board w.e.f. 01/09/2008 – Board’s letter No. PC-V/2009/ACP/2 dated 10/06/2009:-

Note: *The employee has to wait for 6 years more to get GP 2800/- which is the replacement pay scale of Rs.4500- 7000 (Vth CPC) under MACP Scheme.

Note: *While the Stenographer got 5000-8000/GP4200/- on completion of 12 years under ACP, he should wait for 20 years under MACPS. Similarly he should complete 30 years for becoming eligible for GP 4600/- whereas under ACPS he could become eligible on completion of 24 years service.

The comparative position between ACPS and MACPS as mentioned above establishes that in Railways the employees have been put to grave disadvantage leading to serious resentment against MACP Scheme

Yours faithfully
