Staff Rulings – 252. MACP -25
121. How is the pay fixed under MACPS if an employee's next regular increment falls on the exact same date as the MACPS upgradation?
The annual increment in the lower grade is granted first, and subsequently, the 3% pay fixation benefit under MACPS is calculated and added on that accumulated total.
DOPT OM No. 35034/3/2008-Estt (D) dated 19.05.2009.
122. Within how many days from the date of issuance of the MACPS order must an employee exercise their formal pay fixation option under FR 22(I)(a)(1)?
The employee must exercise their formal pay fixation option in writing within one month from the date of issuance of the financial upgradation order.
DOPT OM No. 35034/3/2008-Estt (D) dated 19.05.2009.
123. If an employee opts to defer their MACPS pay fixation until the date of their next annual increment, what pay do they draw in the interim?
In the interim period, the employee draws their existing basic pay in the pay band along with the newly upgraded higher Grade Pay, without the 3% increment benefit.
DOPT OM No. 35034/3/2008-Estt (D) dated 19.05.2009.
124. Can an employee revise or change their pay fixation option once it has been formally submitted and accepted by the drawing and disbursing officer?
No, the option once exercised by the employee under the rules is final and cannot be altered or re-opened subsequently.
DOPT OM No. 35034/3/2008-Estt (D) dated 19.05.2009.
125. How does a Non-Functional Selection Grade (NFSG) granted within a cadre affect subsequent upgrades under the MACP Scheme?
An NFSG placement is treated as a financial upgradation and must be counted as an offset against the three total financial upgrades permitted under MACPS.
