7th pay commission: There are some rules for central employees about which people do not know much. One such rule is related to promotion. This rule is known as Modified Assured Career Progression i.e. MACP Scheme. This scheme is for those employees who are not promoted.
As per the rules, under the MACP scheme, an employee gets mandatory financial upgradation three times in his entire career. This upgradation is given after the 10th, 20th and 30th year of service of the employee’s career. Whenever a person continues to work in the same level-salary and does not get promotion during this period, he gets automatic financial upgradation after a period of 10 years. After this financial upgradation, the employee gets salary under the new grade pay, which is equal to the financial benefit received from promotion. However, there are some conditions for this.
What are the conditions: Its benefit will be available only to those employees whose Annual Performance Assessment Report (APAR) for the last three years is in the category of “very good”. If this is not the case then the financial upgradation will be on hold until he achieves this eligibility. Let us tell you that this condition was included during the tenure of Narendra Modi government. Its objective is to improve the performance of government employees.
It is important to understand this through example also
An employee is drawing Level 2 salary as per the recommendation of the Seventh Pay Commission but remains at this level for 10 years. Promotion did not happen during this period, hence there is a provision to promote to Level 3 by doing financial upgradation under MACP. This is very beneficial for the employees of those departments where opportunities for promotion are very less.
