On MACP & Promotion as Inspector, STA gets 3% Inc + 4600 Gpay but gets only 3% Increment on his promotion as DOS
Recently, many CExcise Commissionerates have issued MACP orders in which STAs who have completed 10 years in the post of STA with same Grade pay of Rs.4200 has been granted MACP with Rs.4600 Grade pay.
The STAs have been given Rs.4600 Gpay with 3% increment in Pay band on promotion to the post of Inspector. And MACP also guarantees the same benefit.
But, when some were promoted as DOS, they were given nothing till issue of order dated: June, 2013 which grants just 3% increment with same Grade pay of Rs.4200. Many DOSs are losing their morale that they have started saying that they could have remained without promotion as they can get Rs.4600 Gpay on completion of 10 years of service in the same post/gpay of Rs.4200 instead of promotion as DOS where they get just 3% increment. A fallback option (MACP) is better than the original one. Is this rational?
The Hon`ble CAT case hearing has been getting postponed for one reason or another. However, based on this instance of MACP itself (which requires no further evidence), the case stands brighter chance to win (If and when the hearing takes place) due to this. Department has now asked for 3 months time for filing reply to rejoinder (which was filed in Feb-2013) in the hearing on 6th Feb, 2014. Next hearing has been fixed on 3rd March 2014.
Lets hope for the best.
