Consequent to issue of Railway Board’s letter dated 13-12-2012 (RBE No. 142 / 2012), many doubts have been raised from various quarters as to how the the clarification given is to be followed.
In terms of the above cited letter, an employee holding feeder post in a cadre where promotional post is in the same Grade Pay, financial upgradation under ACP / MACP scheme cannot be to a higher Grade Pay than what can be allowed to an employee on his normal promotion and would be granted the same Grade Pay. The doubts were with regard to the terms used i.e., “In same Grade Pay” and “Normal Promotion”.

The undersigned is directed to refer to NFIR’s letter No. IV/MACPS/09/Pt-6, dated 23/05/2013 and to state that the matter has been examined in consultation with DoP&T, the nodal Department of Government on MACP Scheme has been clarified that the incumbents of the lower post CANNOT be treated as initially appointed in the upgraded post just because the two lower rungs of the promotional hierarchy have been abolished under two consecutive cadre restructuring. In fact, it is the post which are upgraded. The incumbent’s appointment to the upgraded post is by way of promotion only.

With reference to CLW’s above cited letter, it is stated that Board’s letter dt. 13-12-2012 has been issued as a sequel to the instructions contained in para-8 of Annexure to Board’s policy instruction on MACPS dt. 10-06-09 (RBE No.101/2009) and therefore has to be viewed in context thereof only. Further, while implementing MACP Scheme these instructions i.e. para-8 of Annexure to Board’s instruction dt. 10-06-09 and Board’s letter dt. 13-12-2012 has to be seen in light of the cadre structure/hierarchy of progression that has emerged as a result of implementation of 6th CPC pay structure.
