Respected Madam,

I intend to bring to your kind attention one of the areas, where delay is occurring is grant of MACP to IP/ASP.

In this connection, attention is invited to the consolidated instructions on MACP, circulated vide DOP&T’s OM No.35034/3/2008-Estt(D) dated 19/5/2009, which, interalia, provides that in order to prevent undue strain, the Screening Committee shall follow a time-schedule and meet twice in a financial year - preferably in the first week of January and first week of July of a year for advance processing of the all cases for grant of MACP maturing in that half.

Accordingly, cases maturing during the first-half (April-September) of a particular financial year shall be taken up for consideration by the Screening Committee meeting in the first week of January. Similarly, the Screening Committee meeting in the first week of July of any financial year shall process the cases that would be maturing during the second-half (October-March) of the same financial year. Whereas, In Punjab region DPC for grant of 3^rd financial benefit to Sh. Gurdev Singh now allotted to Haryana Circle on promotion and Paramjit Singh ASP  has not been convened till today though it was due in 2008. Despite having clear instructions, in Punjab region IPsASPs are made to suffer that result in considerable frustration amongst IPs/ASPs and this also adversely affect their morale.

In view of the above, it is requested that suitable orders may kindly be passed to put in place immediately and advance planning is done to convene the DPC, not only in the above two cases but also for other eligible officials in time and that the extant orders on the subject are followed, both in letter and spirit.

With Regards.

Yours Faithfully, 

(Hari Mohan)

Circle Secretary
