Generally
we all know that the word ‘Hierarchy’ means ‘an arrangement of items’. The same
word plays an important role among the government employees. An employee who
gets promoted from lower pay-scale to higher pay-scale as a result of
promotion, the formation of pay structure is called ‘Promotional
Hierarchy’.
It is
very normal that each and every central government employee is eager to get a
promotion in his service. The advancement of an employee from one grade to
another grade is called promotion. That pattern of pay structure for promotion,
which gives one grade to another grade with pay range is called ‘Promotional
Hierarchy’.
In
every central government departments, various staff are working together, but
their pay differs. Promotion is provided on the basis of their own promotional
hierarchy of category of post. Hierarchy is not common for all employees. It
maintained ‘Basic Pay Structure’ for every category of post in every
departments. Even though, the same category of employees working in different
departments, they may have also different promotional hierarchy.
Initially
in 2008, 6th CPC had recommended the new Grade Pay structure for all Central
Government employees, this formation also called ‘Hierarchy of Grade Pay’. This
Grade Pay Hierarchy is common for all employees, but ‘Promotional Hierarchy’
will differ to each category.
In 5th CPC, the order in pay structure was 3050,
3200, 4000, 4500, 5000, 5500, 6500.., but all the employees didn’t get
promotion in this order. Every department has different pattern of pay
structure for promotion. This is known as ‘Promotional Hierarchy’.
Erstwhile
ACP Scheme was based on ‘Promotional Hierarchy’.
An
employee getting promotion as per his ‘Promotional Hierarchy’, whereas an
employee getting MACP upgradation as per ‘Grade Pay Hierarchy’. The Grade Pay
has created many anomalies within a single cadre. Hence, all the Trade Unions
and Federations summarily rejected and insisted that grade pay of the next
promotional post to be granted under the new MACP Scheme instead of granting
next higher grade pay in the revised grade pay hierarchy. One more alternative
also given by staff side in MACP Core meeting held on 25.2.2010 that the first
two MACPs after 10 and 20 years should be to the next promotional post as per
the hierarchy of respective department as under the erstwhile ACP scheme and
thereafter the third MACP in the next grade pay of the revised pay band and
grade pay.
Finally,
Dopt has ordered to send the necessary information in respect of specific
categories of employees where the MACPs is less advantageous that the erstwhile
ACPS. It is based on the discussion with the Staff Side in 3rd meeting of the
Joint Committee of MACP Scheme held on 15.03.2011. It identified more in some
departments like Railways, Defence, Urban development, Home affairs and Postal.
We
have tabled here for your information, hierarchy of some different category of
post in various departments…
