LETTER TO CPMG ON MACP ADMISSIBILITY

To Sh. K.L.Khanna

Chief Postmaster General Punjab Circle Chandigarh-160017 Sub: Grant of MACP in Inspector Cadre Respected Sir, I intend to bring to your kind attention one of the areas where admissibility criteria to grant MACP to IP/ASP cadre is not being adhered to. Resultantly four ASPs in the chain have to face injustice. While granting 3rd MACP to Inspector cadre staff the promotion earned from PA to UDC has been taken into account as one promotion as such paving way for refusal to 3rd financial upliftment. Whereas for the clerical cadre no such condition has been applied, thereby adopted double standard. 2. In this connection, attention is invited to para 5 (Annex-I) of the consolidated instructions on MACP, circulated vide DOP OM No.4-7/(MACPs)/2009-PCC dated 18.09.2009, which, interalia, provides that promotion earned in the past to those grades which now carry the same grade pay due to merger of pay scale shall be ignored. Directorate vide letter no 4-7/MACPS/2009/-PSS dated 19-07-2010 has further clearly clarified that “since there is no existence of UDC cadre hence promotion earned from PA to UDC is to be ignored. But in the case of Sh. K.S.Behar, ShGian Chand and Sh.Dhana Singh this has not been done. Two official Sh.R.D Kalia and Sh. Mohinder Singh has otherwise been ignored. 3 Furthermore, process to grant 2nd or 3rd MACP has not yet been started in Region II for the reasons best known to officers dealing the case. It is pertinent to mention here that in R.O there is no other cadre except already depressed IP/ASP, who are deprived of this financial upliftment. 4. In view of the above, it is requested that suitable orders may kindly be passed to put in place immediately to convene the DPC for grant of MACP in Area-I for left out ASPs and grant 2ND and 3RD MACP immediately in Area-II With regards, Yours sincerely, (Hari Mohan) Circle Secretary
