Staff Rulings – 254. MACP -27
131. If three pre-revised pay scales (A, B, and C) were merged into a single Grade Pay by the 6th CPC, and an employee moved from A to B to C before 2006, how many MACP offsets are counted?
Zero offsets are counted. Because all three scales now carry an identical Grade Pay due to the merger, both intermediate movements are completely ignored for MACPS.
DOPT OM No. 35034/3/2008-Estt (D) dated 19.05.2009.
132. An employee was appointed in pre-revised scale Rs. 5000-8000 and promoted to Rs. 5500-9000. Both scales merged into Grade Pay Rs. 4200. What is their MACPS status?
The promotion is ignored due to the merger of scales. They are treated as having received no promotions from entry and are eligible for 1st/2nd MACP upgrades to Rs. 4600 and Rs. 4800 upon completing residency.
DOPT OM No. 35034/3/2008-Estt (D) dated 19.05.2009.
133. If an employee received an ACP upgrade to a scale that was subsequently upgraded further by the Government with retrospective effect from 01.01.2006, how is their MACP aligned?
Their pay is aligned directly with reference to the newly upgraded, higher retrospective Grade Pay, and that grade becomes the benchmark for tracking future stagnation.
DOPT OM No. 35034/3/2008-Estt (D) dated 19.05.2009.
134. How is a past promotion to a post carrying a higher pre-revised scale handled if the 6th CPC subsequently downgraded that promotional post's Grade Pay?
The promotion continues to count as an offset, but their pay fixation is governed by the protection clauses of the CCS (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008.
DOPT OM No. 35034/3/2008-Estt (D) dated 19.05.2009.
135. What is the core difference between the treatment of merged scales under the old ACP Scheme versus the new MACP Scheme?
The old ACP Scheme provided promotional hierarchy scales regardless of mergers, while the MACP Scheme tracks actual movements across distinct Grade Pays and completely ignores movements within merged scales.
