Whether the benefits of MACPS would be allowed to the Government Servants who have been later on inducted in the Organized Group A Service
No. The benefits under MACPS is not applicable to Group A officer of Organised Group A Services as the officer under Organized Group A services have already been allowed parity of two years on on-functional basis with the officers of Indian Administrative Service (IAS)
