North Block, New Delhi

Sir, 

Sub:- Granting of  MACP w.e.f 01.01.2006  as per the judgement of the Hon’ble Supreme Court vide W.P (c) No. 3744 of 2016 dated 08/12/2017.– regarding

Kindly refer to the   the judgement of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of granting of MACP with effect from 01.01.2006 vide W.P (C ) No. 3744 of 2016 dated 08/12/2017 ( copy enclosed).

In this connection , we beg to state that the  MACP Scheme was introduced by the Central Government on the basis of the recommendations of the 6th Central Pay Commission. Though Union Cabinet had decided to implement the recommendations of 6th CPC with effect from 01.01.2006 retrospectively, however DOPT had issued notification to implement the MACP scheme w.e.f 01.09.2008 prospectively.The Hon’ble Apex court in the matter vide W.P 3744 of 2016 dated 08/12/2017. has categorically stated that the Govt’s decision to make the scheme effective prospectively was wrong and the scheme has to be implemented with effective from 1.1.2006.

 We request that the Govt. may issue necessary orders making the MACP Scheme Effective from 1.1.2006 instead of 1.9.2008. While issuing such an order it may also be clarified that the employees who were granted the benefit of ACP between 1.1.2006 to 31.08.2008 are not adversely affected and no recovery is ordered  from them in this connection.

Thanking you

Yours faithfully, 

Lokanath  Mishra 

Secretary General.
