Government Employees Seek Clarification on MACP Financial Upgradation Rules
The Government Employees National Confederation (GENC) has requested the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) to clarify that employees who refuse or forego regular promotions should not be indefinitely denied financial upgradation under the Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) Scheme. Citing Central Administrative Tribunal rulings, GENC argues that financial upgradation can only be deferred for the prescribed debarment period and calls for uniform implementation across ministries, especially the Department of Posts.
