Establishment (D) O.M. No.35034/10/2011-Estt. (D)Dated: 13th June, 2012
In terms of clarification given o point of doubt no. 2 of
Annexure of this Department's O.M. dated 09.09.2010, no benefits under the
MACPS would be applicable to Group A officers of Organised Group A Services, as
the officer under organized Group 'A' Services have already been allowed parity
of two years on non-functional basis with the officers of the Indian
Administrative Service (IAS). In this regard, this Department is in receipt of
a number of references from various Departments in respect of officers who are
deprived of the benefits of MACPS due to their induction into the organized
Group A Services at a later stage of their service.
2. The issue has been considered by this
Department in consultation with Department of Expenditure. It has been decided
to allow grant of financial up-gradation under MACPS with effect from the due
date to those officers who are inducted to the Organized Group 'A' Services
when they are nearing retirement subject to the condition that only at the time
of retirement an evaluation of up-gradations/promotions earned by the officer
would be made. In case such officers have already attained three financial
upgradations under MACP Scheme, they shall not be entitled for NFU to the same
grade from a later date.
3. Hindi version will follow.
