Ref: Railway Board’s letter No. PC-V/M/4/NFIR/pt dated 04/01/2016.

NFIR provides below the details of the cadres to whom ACP Scheme was more advantageous than the MACP Scheme introduced by the Railway Board w.e.f 01/09/2008 — Board’s letter No. PC-V/2009/ACP/2 dated 10/06/2009:-

Note: *The above comparison clearly establishes the fact that under ACP Scheme the staff got financial up-gradation in Pay Scale Rs. 5000-8000/GP 4200/- on completion of 24 years of service whereas under MACP Scheme, the staff gets. GP 2800/- (replacement Grade Pay) on completion of three decades and they cannot dream of reaching GP 4200 (PB-2) under MACPS.

Note: * The employee has to wait for 6 years more to get GP 2800/- which is the replacement pay scale of Rs. 4500-7000 (Vth CPC) under MACP Scheme.

Note: * The employee has to wait for 6 years more to get GP 4200/- under MACP Scheme.

Note: * while the stenographer got 5000-8000/GP 4200/- on completion of 12 years under ACP, he should wait for 20 years under MACPS, Similarly he should completed 30 years for becoming eligible for GP 4600/- whereas under ACPS he could become eligible on completion of 24 years service.

The comparative position between ACPS and MACPS as mentioned above established that in Railways the employees have been put to grave disadvantage leading to serious resentment against MACP Scheme.

Yours Faithfully
