Assured Career Progression (ACP) Scheme - The ACP scheme is a service-based benefit designed to provide financial upgradation to central government employees after specified periods of continuous service, typically after 12 and 24 years. It aims to recognize length of service with corresponding pay raises. The scheme's provisions and eligibility criteria have been clarified through various government orders and judicial interpretations Employees State Insurance Corporation VS Union Of India - Gauhati, Director General Fishery Survey of India VS J. Crispin Cardoza - Madras, State of Bihar through the Secretary, Department of Animal Husbandry and Fisheries VS Prabhakar Mishra, Son of Late Kedar Nath Mishra - Patna.

Clarifications have been provided on counting such service for ACP benefits Nooruddiin VS State Of U. P. - Allahabad, THE UNION OF INDIA Vs K.S.SINDHU - Kerala.

Modified Schemes and Rules - The introduction of the MACP (Modified Assured Career Progression) Rules in 2010 aimed to streamline and expand benefits, with specific eligibility conditions.
