Sub: Recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission - Modified
Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACPS) for Railway Employees
The Sixth Central Pay Commission in Para 6.1.15 of its report, has recommended Modified
Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACPS). As per the recommendations, financial
upgradation will be available in the next higher Grade Pay whenever an employee has completed
12 years continuous service in the same grade. However, not more than two financial
upgradations shall be given in the entire career, as was provided in the previous Scheme. The
Scheme will also be available to all posts belonging to Group ‘A’ whether isolated or not.
However, organised Group "A" services will not be covered under the Scheme.
2.
The Government has considered the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay
Commission for introduction of a MACPS and has accepted the same with further modification
to grant three financial upgradations under the MACPS at intervals of 10, 20 and 30 years of
continuous regular service.
3.
The Scheme would be known as MODIFIED ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION
SCHEME (MACPS) FOR RAILWAY EMPLOYEES. This Scheme is in supersession of
previous ACP Scheme and clarifications issued there under and shall be applicable to all
regularly appointed Group ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’ Railway Employees except officers of the Organised
Group ‘A’ Service. The status of Group ‘D’ employees would cease on their completion of
prescribed training, as recommended by the Sixth Central Pay Commission and would be treated
as Group ‘C’ employees. Casual employees, including those granted ‘temporary status’ and
employees appointed in the Railways only on adhoc or contract basis shall not qualify for
benefits under the aforesaid Scheme. The details of the MACP Scheme and conditions for grant
of the financial upgradation under the Scheme are given in Annexure.
4.
A Screening Committee shall be constituted in each Department to consider the case for
grant of financial upgradations under the MACP Scheme. The Screening Committee shall consist
of a Chairperson and two members. The members of the Committee shall comprise officers
holding posts which are at least one level above the grade in which the MACP is to be

considered and not below Senior Scale grade (PB-3, GP-Rs.6600/-). The Chairperson should
generally be a grade above the members of the Committee.
5.
The recommendations of the Screening Committee shall be placed before Railway Board
(MS) in cases where the Committee is constituted in the Railway Board/Ministry or before the
Head of the organisation/competent authority in other cases for approval.
6.
In order to prevent undue strain on the administrative machinery, the Screening
Committee shall follow a time-schedule and meet twice in a financial year – preferably in the
first week of January and first week of July of a year for advance processing of the cases
maturing in that half. Accordingly, cases maturing during the first-half (April-September) of a
particular financial year shall be taken up for consideration by the Screening Committee meeting
in the first week of January. Similarly, the Screening Committee meeting in the first week of July
of any financial year shall process the cases that would be maturing during the second-half
(October-March) of the same financial year.
7.
However, to make the MACP Scheme operational, the Cadre Controlling Authorities
shall constitute the first Screening Committee within a month from the date of issue of these
instructions to consider the cases maturing upto 30th June,
