Sub: Benchmark for MACP upgradation.

Sir,

            Kindly refer to earlier requests of the Association on the subject matter.

            2. Your kind attention is also invited to the Circular No. 107/E-9/Estt.-I/DHC Dt 27.01.18 of the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi implementing ‘Very Good’ benchmark w.e.f. 01.01.18 (Copy enclosed herewith).

3. With due regards, it is to submit again that the benchmark for MACP upgradation has been prescribed to be “very good” for all posts w.e.f. 25.07.16 vide DOPT OM No. 35034/3/2015-Estt(D) Dt. 28.09.16.

4. Needless to submit that new condition would make it difficult for employees to avail MACP upgradation. So, the change of the benchmark from ‘Good’ to ‘Very Good’ should only have prospective effect as many employees may find it impossible to meet the benchmark based on the said change.

5. Thus, the grant of MACP upgradation on the basis of the reports of earlier years when the said stipulation of ‘Very Good’ was not in existence must be calibrated on the basis of the earlier stipulation of the benchmark being `Good’.

6. The Hon’ble High Court of Delhi has implemented the DOPT OM w.e.f. 1st January, 2018 only saying that the required grading of “Very Good” will be applicable only in respect of ACRs from the current year, i.e., 2017 onwards. For earlier years, “Good” will be treated as qualifying/eligibility criteria for the benefit under the MACP Scheme in the Hon’ble High Court.

7. In view of the above, it is requested to implement the ‘Very Good’ benchmark w.e.f. 01.01.18 only by issuing an organization-specific order for CBIC on the lines of the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi at least for the officers joining the job upto the grade pay of Rs. 6500/- (pre-revised).

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

Encl: As above.

Secretary General.
