Rally behind our Federation:
Due to our consistent struggle, mountainous sacrifice by many of our leaders and members, and relentless efforts of the leadership of the Federation our demand for upgradation of Grade pay for AOs and Sr.AOs is under serious consideration of the Finance Ministry once again. It has been decided to pursue the Parliamentarians and Central Ministers to take up our cause before the Finance Ministry. It is imperative that memorandums to be submitted by any of us, for presenting the case to the Parliamentarians and Central Ministers should be identical. Members are requested to be aware that the non serious attempts on different memorandum would definitely weaken our demand and put us back in square one. Hence the National Executive appeal to all the Audit and Accounts Officers to rally behind our Federation and lend their support in unequivocal terms and strengthen the Federation physically, mentally and financially. .....

[ Please CLICK on the Caption to get the order issued by the Min of Fin. and read the POINT No 3 ]
This clarification issued by MoF after getting the concurrence of the D.O.P.T. [which issued the original MACP orders] makes the position altered and may render almost all the PAY FIXATIONS done recently in our office (PrlAG[A&E]AP,HYDERABAD) incorrect and wrong .
New condition not provided in Original Order introduced:
However, the clarification order dated 2.2.2010 brings this new term “whichever is later” for the first time into the picture, while there is no advocation for such a kind of procedure inthe original MACPS order. This misinterpretation is proved to be very costly as per the clarification dated 2.2.2010, as whenever an employee is promoted to the next cadre within the period of 10 years service, say 5 years, he has to wait for his 2nd MACP till the completion of 20 years of service.
Why it’s proved to be costly for employees:
Take the case of another employee who gets his first promotion after completion of 18 years in same grade will be eligible for 2nd MACP only after completion of 10 years of service in the promoted grade/grade pay. So, he will be eligible for 2nd MACP only after completion of 28 years of Government service, since completion of 10 years of service in the same grade pay will only fall later than the completion of 20 years of service for getting 2nd MACP in his case. On the contrary, as per the original order dated 19.5.2009 for MACPS issued by DOPT he will be getting his 2nd MACP after completion of 20 years of govt service.
