Sub: Stepping up of pay of seniors, if junior is drawing more pay on account of ACP/MACP upgradation/s.
Madam,
            Kindly refer to the Ref. No. 76/M/13 Dt. 01.05.13 of the Association as well as letter F.No. A-23011/06/2011/Ad.IIA Dt. 26.06.13 of the CBEC.
2. It is submitted with due regards that the clarification has been issued incompletely quoting some CAT judgements but ignoring the verdict given by the Hon’ble Apex Court. The issue of stepping up of pay regarding ACPS has been linked to pay revision of 2004 instead of issuing a general & complete clarification based on Supreme Court verdict dt. 02.05.11 in SLP(C) No. CC 7278/11. The issue has been settled finally by the Hon’ble Supreme Court vide the said verdict granting the benefit of stepping up of the pay to seniors, if junior is drawing more pay on account of ACP/MACP upgradation/s.
3. If a complete & exhaustive clarification is not issued based on Supreme Court verdict, many of our senior officers particularly entered into the job through Ministerial cadre will suffer with recurring loss due to the inaction of the concerned section on the issue. It is really not understood why the general clarification can’t be issued based on the verdict of the Apex Court, if it is conveniently issued based on CAT verdicts.
4. In view of the above, it is requested that the much awaited general clarification may also kindly be issued on the issue at an early date based on the verdict given by the Hon’ble Apex Court.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,


(RAVI MALIK),
Secretary General.
