Government'sacceptanceof 7s CPC recommendation- Modified AssuredCareerProgression - reg' Schelrne :F*,,.*,F*,F{<***

NFIR invites kind attention of the Government to the acceptanceof 7ft CPC recommendations circulatedby the Ministry of Finance(Departmentof Expenditure)vide ResolutionNo. 1-212016-lCdated25n July 2016, the Annexure tr of which containsthe decisionin relation to Modified AssuredCareerProgression Scheme(MACPS) as given below:o

"While the MACP has been continued to be administeredat the intervals of I0,20 & 30 years of service to an employee as was in vogue, the benchmark for performance appraisal under the MACPS has been enhancedfrom "good" to "very good".

e

It has also been decided by the Government to withhold annual increments in the case of those employees who are unable to meet the benchmark for MACP or on regular promotion within first 20 yearsof the serviceof the employee".

In this connection, NFIR conveys that the Government has not consulted JCM (Staff Side) before taking decision as above although this being one of the issuescontainedin the Charter of demands,seeking discussion. The decision has caused disappointment among Railway employees and as well Central Government employees. Upgrading the bench mark from "good" to "very good" for granting financial upgradation under MACPS would provide unfettered powers to the superiors to victimize and give scope trc favour the liked staff on "pick" and "choose" basis. The decision for withholding annual incrementson the pretext that employees are unable to meet the bench mark for MACP or regular promotion within first 20 years of servicewould not only demoralizethe staffbut also give handle for willful harassmentand victimization by higher Officials. NFIR, therefore,requeststhe Cabinet Secretary who is also the Chairman of the JCM, to kindly hold meeting with the Staff Side representativesfor resolving the issuesamicably through discussions.

Yours sincerejr, -
