The letter received from Shri Pradip Bandyopadhyay, MSME-DI, Kolkata is published hereunder wherein he has raised the issues of Administrative Staff, especially the LDC & UDC, effectively. We are aware that this is the story of the administrative staff of the entire Subordinate Offices.
The successive Pay Commission as well as the Governments has not resolved the issues of the LDC & UDC working the subordinate offices. All our friends are therefore requested to please take up the issue before the 7th CPC in its own importance. Materials/references to be used during the oral evidence are published in this web site.

MACP on Promotional Hierarchy for LDC, UDC & Account: Letter received from Shri MVSS Rama Krishna
MACP ON PROMOTIONAL HIERARCHY FOR LDC, UDC & ACCOUNTANT: LETTER RECEIVED THROUGH E-MAIL FROM SHRI MVSS RAMA KRISHNA OF RAJAHMUNDRY
Respected sir,
I am m.v.s.s.rama Krishna working as LDC in Doordarshan Maintenance Centre, Rajahmundry which comes under prasar bharati, Ministry of I&B, Govt. of India. We are treating as working on deemed deputation to Prasar bharati and still we are govt. employees only. We are covered by rules and regulations of Central Government only.
Now, coming to the point I am also a sufferer of MACP scheme. In my case also ACP scheme is more beneficial to me why because in MACP next available grade pay has been awarded instead of promotional grade pay. I have joined as LDC on 29-04-1988 and still I am working as LDC though 26 years of service rendered. I have been given Ist ACP after completion of 12 years of service i.e. on 29-04-2000 to the promotional post of UDC i.e. from Rs.3050 pay scale to Rs.4,000 pay scale . In the VI th pay commission my grade pay was fixed at Rs.2,400/- . Next 2 nd MACP has been given after completion of 20 years, but from the date of implementation of the scheme ie. 1-9-2008 with grade pay of 2,800/- which is next grade pay available in the table. Where as our promotion post is ACCOUNTANT with grade pay of Rs.4,200/-.

Subject: Restructuring of Cadre of artisan staff in Defence Establishments in modification of Recommendations of 6th CPC – Clarification regarding.
Reference Ministry of Defence ID note of even number dated the 23.07.2012 on the above mentioned subject. The entire matter has been reconsidered in consultation with the DOP & T and Department of Expenditure. Their advice in the matter is as under:
i) As per provisions of MACP scheme introduced w.e.f 01.09.2008 financial upgradation is admissible in the hierarchy of Grade Pay and placement of Highly Skilled workers (GP Rs.2400/-) as Master craftsman (GP Rs4200/-) is very much considered as ladder in hierarchy of Grade Pays . Ignoring the placement of Highly Skilled as Master Craftsman (non – Functional) will be deviating the provisions of MACPS. Hence placement of Highly Skilled worker as master craftsman (MCM) prior to 01.01.2006 would be offset against one up gradation for the purpose of grant MACP benefits.
ii)MCM being the feeder post to Charge man and since both these posts have identical pay band and Grade pay, financial upgradation under MACPS cannot be to a Grade Pay which is more than what is admissible in regular promotion.
iii) Financial up gragdations earned to non functional post of MCM is to be taken into account as 2nd financial upgradation in so far as MACPS is concerned.

MACP Scheme on Hierarchy or option to choose ACP: Secretary, MoUD letter to DoPT
Reminder by Dr. Sudhir Krishna, Secretary, Ministry of Urban Development DO letter [click here to see] to Secretary DoPT regarding MACP Scheme to CPWD Engineer:-
Dr. Sudhir Krishna

D.O. No. 55.4/2013-S&D/8
Dear Dr. Sarkar,
Dr. Sudhir Krishna
Secretary to the Government of India,
Ministry of Urban Development
D.O. No. 55.4/2013-S&D/8
Dated: 01 Oct, 2013
Dear Dr. Sarkar,
Kindly refer to my DO letter of even No dt. 13.8.2013 in connect:on with redressal of disadvantageous provisions of MACPS for the Subordinate Engineering cadre and similarly placed cadres CPWD.
The proposal sent by this Ministry in Jul'2013 for allowing individual option to choose either earlier ACPS or MACPS by the employee is a balanced and just one and caters to the concerns of all individuals. DoPT must not have any reservation in accepting the same since change of the scheme by the Government should not be to the disadvantage of the individual employee.
Already many court cases for review of the MACPS have cropped in. In this regard, would like to quote a Court Case (OA No. 275/2013) by some Assistant Engineers of CPWD for review of MACPS, draft counter reply to which quoting anomalous end disadvantageous provisions of MACPS was sent to DoPT for vetting. DoPT has not agreed to the reply and intimated that reply should be modified by the administrative ministry mentioning that operation of the both the schemes in the same cadre is against the provisions of MACPS other words individual option to employees to opt for either ACPS or MACPS is not permissible.

What is “Hierarchy”
Generally we all know that the word ‘Hierarchy’ means ‘an arrangement of items’. The same word plays an important role among the government employees. An employee who gets promoted from lower pay-scale to higher pay-scale as a result of promotion, the formation of pay structure is called ‘Promotional Hierarchy’.
