Entitlement of Pass facilities under MACPS - Clarification

Entitlement of Pass facilities under MACPS-Clarification reg.

Ref: - Board’s letter of even number dated 10-06-2009.

The issue regarding the entitlement of privilege and other passes in case of employees who have been granted financial upgradtion under the MACP Scheme has been under consideration.

2. In terms of Para 16 of Annexure of Board’s letter referred to above, financial upgradation under the MACP Scheme is personal to the incumbent and entitles the employee to certain benefits which are linked to the pay drawn by the employee. Hence, the benefit of Passes/PTOs corresponding to the next higher Grade Pay granted under the MACP Scheme will be available to the employee. It is also reiterated that the grant of financial upgradation under the MACP Scheme does not entail any change in the designation, classification and status of an employee. Accordingly, the benefits related to higher status inherent in the higher Pay Band and /or Grade Pay is not available to such an employee who has been granted higher Grade Pay under the MACP Scheme.

3. This issue with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.

Army doctors approach AFT for career scheme

Army doctors approach AFT for career scheme

Whether Army doctors are eligible for Dynamic Assured Career Progresssion (DACP) scheme will now be settled by the Armed Forces Tribunal (AFT).

On a petition filed by five Army doctors for the implementation of DACP in Army Medical Corps (AMC) cadre of doctors, the Chandigarh Bench of AFT has issued notice to Ministry of Defence, Director General of Armed Forces Medical Services and Principal Personnel Officers’ Committee for April 8.

The question involved is whether the Ministry of Defence is right in seeking the nod of the Principal Personnel Officers’ Committee (PPOC), a non-statutory body, comprising the heads of the personnel branches of the armed forces, before issuance of implementation instructions of a scheme already accepted and approved by the Union Cabinet.

The 6th Central Pay Commission (CPC) had recommended DACP should be implemented in all organised and un-organised medical services under the government, which implied four time-bound movements and progressions into higher grade pays till 20 years of service. While the movement into the first three grade pays of the pay hierarchy was already time-bound in the AMC, the point that affected these doctors particularly was limited to the fourth pay progression — that is all members of medical and dental services to move to Rs 10,000 Grade Pay (known as the Senior Administrative Grade Pay).

What will be the Dearness Allowance from January 2011 ?

What will be the Dearness Allowance from January 2011 ?

The AICPI for all the 12 months are now published in Labour Bureau website. According to this Website the AICPI-IW for 12 months are given below.

January-172
Febraury-170
March-170
April-170
May-172
June-174
July-178
August-178
September-179
October-181
November-182
December-185


Now the prediction and calculation over Dearness Allowance will come to an end. According to the All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers for the last 12 months, it is expected that the Dearness Allowance will be 51% from January 2011.As we expected earlier, additional 6% will be added to the existing D.A of 45%..Hence we can expect that 51% Dearness Allowance will be paid to all the Central Government Employees from January 2011, if so government decides. The Government may take a decision in this matter by first week of March 2011.

Some of our viewers have raised the same question again and again in the comments forum that if D.A crosses 50% level whether it would be merged with D.A or not. It has been clarified that the D.A will not be merged with basic pay since it was not recommended by 6CPC.

But if the D.A crosses 50% level, some of the Allowances, which are compensatory in nature, will be raised by 25% as per the recommendation of 6CPC.
These Allowances are,
1. Children Education Assistance & Reimbursement of Tuition Fee
2. Advances for purchase of Bicycle Advacne, Warm clothing Advance, Festival Advance, Natural Calamity Advance
3. Special Compensatory Hill Area Allowance
4. Special CompensatoryScheduled / Tribal Area Allowance
5. Project Allowance
6. Speical Compensatory (Remote Locality) Allowance
7. Cycle Maintenance Allowance
8. Mileage for road journey all components of daily allowance on tour, rate of transportation of personal effects.
9. Rates of Conveyance Allowance under SR-25
10. Washing Allowance
11. Split Duty Allowance
12. Spl. Allowance for Child Care for Women with Disabilities and Education Allowance
for disabled children
13. Cash Handling Allowance
14. Risk Allowance
