Placement in the GP of promotional post instead of higher grade pay on MACP

A joint Committee on MACP met on 26.5.2010 under the chairmanship of Joint Secretary Establishment of DOPT and one of the item discussed is to provide Grade Pay of the next promotional post under MACP.
The issue discussed in this regard is reproduced below.

Staff Side pressed for placement in the Grade Pay of the Promotional Post instead of next higher Grade Pay in the hierarchy of revised Pay Band and Grade Pay. It was insisted because the career progression only means the promotion in the hierarchy and not to a Grade Pay which is not present in the hierarchy of the respective department.

The Staff Side also gave an alternative that first two MACPs after 10 and 20 years should be to the next promotional post as per the hierarchy of respective department as under the erstwhile ACP scheme and thereafter the third MACP in the next Grade Pay of the Revised Pay Band and Grade Pay.

If this demand is accepted, there will be no benefit for Postman, PA, IPs, and ASPs. But Group 'D' will be benefited. After 10 years of service in Group 'D' cadre, their grade pay is to placed from Rs 1800 to Rs 2000 (GP for Postman), in 20 years to Rs 2400 (GP for PA) and in 30 years of service to Rs 2800 (GP for LSG).
