Clarification regarding counting/ignoring of promotion earned in non hierarchical cadre (PA/SA to IP Cadre & MTS/Postman to PA/SA Cadre) while granting MACPs
Since the benefits of upgradation under ACP Scheme (ACPS) are to be allowed in the existing hierarchy, the mobility under ACPs shall be in the hierarchy existing after merger of pay scales by ignoring the promotion. An employee who got promoted from lower pay scale to higher pay scale as a result of promotion before merger of pay scales shall be entitled for upgradation under ACPS ignoring the said promotion as otherwise would be placed in a disadvantageous position vis a vis the fresh entrant in the merger grade
Promotions earned/upgradations granted under the ACP scheme in the past to those grades which now carry the same grade pay due to merger of pay scales/upgradations of posts recommended by the sixth pay commission shall be ignored for the purpose of granting upgradations under Modified ACPS
