Reacting to the news item appearing in
‘The Hindu’ of 04th October 2016 relating to the acceptance of the
recommendation of 7th Central Pay Commission on Modified Assured Career
Progress Scheme (MACPS) and the DoP&T OM dated 27th/28th September 2016,
the General Secretary said that while the Government has wrongly accepted the
recommendation, at the same time has been spreading wrong news through the
media. He said that the Scheme has been existing since 1st September 2008 and
is not a new scheme as claimed by the Government.
Dr.Raghavaiah further said that while
accepting the 7th CPC recommendations relating to the MACP Scheme for Central
Government employees, the Government has totally ignored the agreement reached
with the JCM (Staff Side) on 17/07/2012 and 27/07/2012 in the Joint Committee
and National Advisory Committee Meetings wherein agreement was reached to
maintain the same benchmark as is applicable for filling the vacancies through
promotion by selection/non-selection/fitness instead of insisting upon the
benchmark ‘Very Good’ recommended by the 6th Central Pay Commission.
Thereafter, the DoP&T vide OM dated 01st November 2010 and 04th October
2012 issued necessary instructions for granting MACP to the Central Government
employees.
The Federation takes note that the
Government while accepting the 7th CPC recommendations relating to financial
upgradation under MACP Scheme to its employees has again taken U-turn and had
once again fixed the benchmark ‘Very Good’ arbitrarily for granting financial
upgradation mainly to deny the legitimate benefit to its employees without any
dialogue with JCM (Staff Side) – the machinery setup to deal with the issues of
Central Government employees which is totally unjustified.
The Federation strongly opposes the
move of the Government for which communications have already been sent by the
Federation twice to the Cabinet Secretary on 2nd August and 23rd August 2016 to
respect the bilateral agreement reached with the JCM (Staff Side) and restore
the decision given vide DoP&T OM dated 01/ll/20l0 and 04/10/2012 without
making any change on the settled issue.
The General Secretary, NFIR hopes that
the Government would consider the above points and rectify the mistake soon
duly restoring the earlier instructions of DoP&T to honor the commitment
made to the Staff Side.
