REGULAR PROMOTION – MACP UPGRADATION – PAY FIXATION
REGULAR PROMOTION – MACP UPGRADATION – PAY FIXATION
Recently, a reader’s query was published in Swamy’s News publication.
“After getting one promotion under ACP or MACP, and a subsequent regular promotion, will the employee qualify for another pay fixation?” This was the question’s summary.
An employee is given promotion under MACP only if he/she didn’t get any, under Regular Promotion. The pay is fixed based on 3% increment and Grade Pay difference. So, when regular promotion is given, the pay is revised only if there is a difference in the grade pay.
If another pay fixation is given, it would only result in confusion between Seniors and Juniors.
Let us assume that an employee named X gets a hike in basic pay from Rs. 2800 to Rs. 4200, after a regular promotion.
His Basic pay 12200 + 2800 = 15000
After promotion 15450 + 4200 = 19650
His junior, an employee named Y, gets a promotion from Rs. 2800 to Rs. 4200 under MACP.
His Basic pay 12200 + 2800 = 15000
After MACP 15450 + 4200 = 19650
Incase of getting regular promotion, no change in basic pay and no need of pay fixation.
If a second time pay fixation is given, then the Junior will draw a bigger salary than the Senior.

Sir, I am in EPFO & promoted as SS on 18/05/2009 with Gr. Pay 4200 that is same Gr. Pay of SSSA, whether I am eligible for MACP Grade Pay 4600 w.e.f. April 2014?
Can Macp be given to staff who are completing prescribed years of service as on 31.12.2017 if there is no adverse remarks in the past 3 years or as per 7th pay commission 5 years very good bench mark. Please clarify
Sorry as on 31.12.2016
Sir,
I got first MACP in 2008 while working as Postal Assistant (GP changed from 2400 to 2800 with 3% increment). Later I qualified Inspector Posts exam in 2010 and my GP changed from 2800 to 4200 and no 3% increment given. Whether promotion from PA to IP after qualifying a departmental competitive exam is a regular promotion. If not, whether I am eligible for 3% increment in addition to grade pay change on promotion to IP.
