5. On completion of 24 years of regular service, Petitioner was granted 2nd ACP
The Selection Grade would not be counted as promotion for the purpose of ACP/MACP Schemes, as established in the judgment in Ajmer Singh.
The entitlement to the benefit of MACP is determined by the MACP scheme and relevant office memorandums, and any clarifications or withdrawals thereof.
Withdrawal of benefits under the MACP Scheme without justifiable cause post-retirement violates principles of natural justice.
III MACP upgradation (GP Rs.4800) granted w.e.f. 01.09.2008 (MACP introduction), reckoning 20 years from 1983 promotion, rejecting 30-year total service computation to honour early promotion benefits....
Employment financial upgradation under MACP is distinct from promotion; it's based on immediate grade pay hierarchy, not promotional hierarchy.
Eligibility for ACP/MACP benefits is determined based on the conditions of the schemes and the promotions earned by the employees.
