Staff Rulings – 261. MACP -34
166. If an employee formally refuses a regular promotion after completing 28 years of service, does this refusal block their 3rd MACPS upgrade due at 30 years?
Yes, because they refused a regular promotion, they will be debarred from receiving the 3rd MACPS upgrade until they agree to be considered for promotion again, and the upgrade will be deferred by the debarment period.
(DOPT OM No. 35034/3/2008-Estt (D) dated 19.05.2009.)
167. Does a refusal of promotion by an employee lead to the recovery of financial benefits already gained from an earlier MACPS upgrade?
No, financial benefits derived from an earlier MACPS upgrade that matured before the refusal of promotion cannot be recovered or withdrawn.
(DOPT OM No. 35034/3/2008-Estt (D) dated 19.05.2009.)
168. What is the impact if an employee refuses a promotion to a post that carries an identical Grade Pay to their current MACPS grade?
Since the promotion is to an identical Grade Pay and does not offer a higher financial level, its refusal does not attract the MACPS debarment penalty.
(Directorate Clarifications / DOPT Guidance notes.)
169. Can an employee who has been granted a MACPS upgrade be assigned the statutory duties of the higher promotional post?
No, they cannot be forced to perform the formal statutory duties of the higher post because MACPS provides only a financial benefit and does not confer functional promotion or status.
( DOPT OM No. 35034/3/2008-Estt (D) dated 19.05.2009.)
170. If an employee is on an official foreign assignment on a government-to-government basis, how is their MACPS processing handled?
Their regular service is counted. The Screening Committee will process their case in their parent department based on their historical pro-forma records and APARs.
