New Delhi: Central Government
employees have been demanding since the the Seventh Pay Commission submitted
its report to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley for the removal of the provision of
benchmark ‘Very Good’ for MACP, which has been recommended from ‘Good’ to ‘Very
Good’ by the Pay Commission.
The Finance Minister sources said
the Empowered Committee of Secretaries on the Seventh pay commission
recommendations headed by cabinet secretary P K Singh, was not ‘rigid’ on the
issue. “There is scope for solution of all outstanding issues including this
through discussions.”
All central government employees
unions’ discussed with the official of Implementation Cell of Seventh Pay
Commission recommendations, in their office to removal the ‘Very Good’
benchmark provision from the pay commission report before its implementation.
The employees unions’ pressed for
removal of ‘Very Good’ clause instead of ‘Good’ for Modified Assured Career
Progression (MACP) in the Seventh Pay Commission report, which it termed as
“unconstitutional” and “anti-government employees” as the commission proposed
“withholding of annual increments in the case of those employees who are not
able to meet the benchmark ‘Very Good’ either for MACP or a regular promotion
within the first 20 years of their service.”
“The provision of the benchmark for
MACP from ‘Good’ to ‘Very Good’ on recommendations of the Pay Commission is
under review. The Ministry is considering for continuing existing ‘Good’
batchmark for Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) after discussions with
all stakeholders,” the sources told The Sen Times.
The Sources said that the government
wanted to finalise all the issue before June, it’s not possible as a bit more
time is needed.
