Ref:- Railway Board’s letter dated 22.04.2021 (RBE No. 31/2021).

References from various Zonal Railways have been received in Board’s office seeking ee
clarification on regulation of MACP Scheme in cases involving promotion in the pre-revised pay %
structure between 01.01.2006 and the date of notification of the CCS (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008
i.e. 29.08.2008 and subsequent merger of pre-revised pay scales of promotional and feeder posts :

2, The issue was referred to DoP&T. DoP&T re-examined the matter in the light of

provisions of the ACP/MACP Scheme, clarifications issued thereon and the spirit thereof and has f

clarified as under:-

Ss

“It may be noted that following acceptance of recommendations of VI ce
merger of grades/posts became effective from 29.08.2008, whereas merger of pay scalc ; if
as per CCS(RP) Rules, 2008 took place from 01.01.2006 itself. In terms of this):
Department's OM No. 20020/4/2010-Estt.(D) dated 13.09.2012, merger of posts was,
made effective from 29.08.2008 and promotions took place in the merged grade till then... ie
It was also prescribed in the OM ibid that promotion earned between 01.01.2006 to’ .
29.08.2008 will be protected as appointments/promotions are made as per the provisions
of statutory Recruitment Rules applicable to the post/grade. Hence, promotions/financial
upgradations under ACP Scheme from the pre-revised pay scales which were merged in
a single grade pay from 01.01.2006 will be protected till 29.08.2008. Therefore, financial
upgradations under ACP Scheme in the pay scale higher than what accrued to an
employee on his regular promotion is not tenable.

However, para 5 of Annexure- I of MACPS provides for ignoring of promotions .
earned/upgradations granted under ACP Scheme in the past to those grades which now १,
carry the same grade pay due to merger of pay scales/upgradation of posts as a part of’
the 6" CPC recommendations. The benefit of merger accrues with effect from the date of
notification of the Recruitment Rules for the relevant post or 01.09.2008 whichever is:

upgradations granted under ACP Scheme in the pre-revised pay scales which are
merged in to same Grade Pay, are effective from 01.09.2008 only. ‘

In light of the position stated above, promotion earned by an employee duiing:
01.01.2006 to 29.08.2008, even though in the same Grade Pay on account of both feeder fits
grade and promotional grade carrying the same Grade Pay, entails the benefit of pay :
fixation under Rule 13 of CCS(RP) Rules, 2008. However, in case of merger of grades, it
will be ignored from the date of notification of the Recruitment Rules for the relevant post
or 01.09.2008 (date of implementation of MACP Scheme) whichever is later.”

3. __ Accordingly, it has been decided that all the cases on the subject matter may be
decided/dealt with by the concerned ZRs/PUs in accordance with the above clarification received
from DoP&T.
