Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme(MACPS) for Civilian employees implemented

The Sixth Central Pay Commission in Para 6.1.15of its report, has recommended
Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme(MACPS). As per the recommendations,
financial upgradation will be available in the next higher grade pay whenever an
employee has completed 12 years continuous service in the same grade. However, not
more than two financial upgradations shall be given in the entire career, as was provided
in the previous Scheme. The Scheme will also be available to all posts belonging to
Group "A" whether isolated or not. However, organised Group "A" services will not be
covered under the Scheme
2. The Government has considered the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay
Commission for introduction of a MACPS and has accepted the same with further
modification to grant three financial upgradations under the MACPS at intervals of 10,
20 and 30 years of continuous regular service.
