The implimentation of MACP based pay upgradation has created very vast anomaly in Basic Pay of upper grade Officers par with their two or three level junior grade Officers. The MACP based Pay upgradation is being given only based 10, 20 & 30 years of length of Service and on based on minimum level of APARs. When these individuals are actually recruited to Non Gazetted B and suppose not taken any higher capacity promotion they are entitled basic pay(Grade Pay)of 4600 on attaining 10 yrs, 5400 on attaining 20 yrs and 6600 on attaining 30 yrs of continuous service and remaining as Non Gazetted B with out any higher responsibility. Where as these MACP received individuals who has been promoted further to the upper grade Officer Grades in Class a Gazetted posts they are not entitled any financial upgradation and holding same basic pay ( Grade Pay) on promotion and his Official responsibility par with the non promoted MACP individuals are very high in nature. Here the obedience of the junior officers also a question mark. Because they are drawing salary equal to his two level higher grade officers with out much responsibilities. In order to counter this special phenomena in cadres it is strongly recommended to grand two Annual Increment based financial benefits on each promotions after receiving the MACPs. There are instances of rejecting promotions after receiving MACPs because it is unnecessary receiving Official Load with out any financial benefits. It is the necessity of the hour to giving two increments on each promotions after receiving the MACPs wef Aug 2008.
