2nd Meeting of MACP Anomaly Committee held on 15-09-2010.

2nd Meeting of MACP Anomaly Committee held on 15-09-2010.

Dear Comrade,

The 2nd meeting of the MACP Committee was held on 15th September, 2010. The meeting was chaired by the Joint Secretary (Estt.) Department of Personnel and Training. We give hereunder a brief resume of the discussions taken up by the Staff Side on the points related to us and as reported by the Confederation of Central Governemnt of Employees & Workers.

It has been reported that the demand to provide for Grade Pay of the next promotional post under MACP as was given in the old ACP Scheme has not been agreed by the DOP&T.

In respect of other alternate demand for Option for each individual employee either to retain the old ACP scheme or to switch over to MACP, it was only agreed by the DOPT that they may consider giving option to the Department and not to the individual employee to retrain old ACP Scheme in respect of either the entire establishment of that Department or for a specific category or cadre of the employees of that Department. They also added that they may instruct the Administrative department to undertake restructuring of the cadres in consultation with the Staff Side which would secure quicker promotion.

This is painful that the DOP&T has not agreed to the demand to provide for Grade Pay of the next promotional post under MACP as was given in the old ACP Scheme. Option to the department will not serve any purpose. We have written to the Confederation to take up the matter once again. Copy of the letter is placed hearunder-

No. AJE/FBD/2010/114-18 Dated. 29-09-2010

To

The secretary General
Confederation of Central Government Employees & Workers

Sub.: 2nd meeting of the MACP Committee held on 15th September, 2010.

Comrade,

Your kind attention is invited to the circular no 19 dated 26th September, 2010 of the confederation wherein the discussions, made in the 2nd meeting of the MACP Committee held on 15th September, 2010, have been intimated. In this connection it is to request that the following agenda item may kindly be taken up again and the DOP&T may be requested to consider the demand once again.

1. Item No. 1, 9 & 29, 46:
The demand was to provide for Grade Pay of the next promotional post under MACP as was given in the old ACP Scheme. This has not been agreed to.
This is a very important item and the same is affecting most of the cadres. Due to Rejection of this demand many cadres will suffer. Most sufferers are Junior Engineers, ministerial staff of subordinate offices, survey staff, scientific staff drilling staff etc and many more. Hence it is our humble request that the item may please be taken up once again.

2. Item No.3:
Option for each individual employee either to retain the old ACP scheme or to switch over to MACP. It was only agreed by the DOPT that they may consider giving option to the Department and not to the individual employee to retrain old ACP Scheme in respect of either the entire establishment of that Department or for a specific category or cadre of the employees of that Department. They also added that they may instruct the Administrative department to undertake restructuring of the cadres in consultation with the Staff Side which would secure quicker promotion.

If the provision of the option to the Department is allowed, it will again create an anomaly. Due to implementation of the MACP Scheme a huge gap was created between the seniors & juniors i.e. the employees who had been awarded 2nd ACP up to 31-08-2008 on completion of 24 years of regular service and the employees who had not completed 24 years of regular service and become eligible for 1st or 2nd financial upgradation in the immediate next grade pay under MACP instead of promotional grade pay. The purpose of the submission of the agenda in the anomaly committee was to remove the gap and to bring the later at par with the seniors. Now after implementations of MACP Scheme, during the last two years after 1-09-2008 many of the employees have been awarded 3rd MACP on completion of 30 years of service. In case of option the employees who had yet not completed 30 years of service will be deprived from third MACP and will get only two upgradations under ACP. Hence the situation & agitation will remain the same.

As far as “instruction to the Administrative department to undertake cadre restructuring of the cadres in consultation with the Staff Side which would secure quicker promotion” is concerned there is no certainty in the assurance. The restructuring is to be initiated by the respective departments & there is no time limit for the process. So many cadre restructuring & cadre reviews are lingering on since many years. The process of objections, comments and compliance is going on. Employees are being retired on superannuation but their hope is still remaining a hope. Despite instructions from the government nobody bother about the group ‘B’ ‘C’ & ‘D’.

In the above circumstances, to bring the employees at par altogether, three upgradations in the promotional hierarchy is the only appropriate solution.

Therefore, you are requested to please take up the demand once again for further consideration otherwise the affected employees will suffer badly for ever.

An early action is requested please.
Comradely yours
