 KNOW ABOUT ACP  AND MACP

 

The concept of ACP   came into effect from 01-01-2006.    

This was brought  to effect due to  no promotion  on the ranks for a very long  period   as there is vacancy  .

To obviate this  financial loss,  this ASSURED  CAREER PROGRESSION  was considered.

According to this scheme , for example  One Sepoy is not getting promotion  even after serving for 17 yrs. He goes on pension on the same Rank with Sepoy pension.

Under this scheme,  a time factor is brought, i.e   8 yrs, 16 yrs and 24 yrs.

This is a financial up gradation to compensate  non promotion.

 This up gradation is limited to max 3 times , 8, 16, 24 yrs.

A Sepoy not promoted to next Rank, i.e Naik  on completion of 8 yrs,  he will be considered as ACP-1  … He will be paid Pay and allowances for the Rank of Naik, but his Rank will remain as Sepoy only .   then 16 th year, he will be given ACP-2  and the pay and allowances  will be paid as per Havildar Rank.   Like wise  on completion of 24 yrs, ACP-3 will be given.  In practice, no Sepoy will serve for 24 yrs.

This ACP system was Modified  for the benefit of JCOs and Ors.  JCOs will serve for more than 24 yrs, hence  to benefit  the Time gap is increased    from 8, 16, 24  to   10, 20, 30 yrs.

This  MACP    MODIFIED ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION came into effect from 01-09-2008.    

Many employees   wanted the same benefit from 01-01-2006 like ACP.    AFT was approached, accordingly, AFT also  gave judgment  that it is effective from 01-01-2006.  But arrears if any will be paid from  01-09-2008. Only

Now  we can  view our PPOs, where  it will be Given as ACP-  1, 2, 3  or  No.  MACP-1,2,3 or No.

This is the brief  history of  ACP  and MACP  ,  this is for information of all our veterans.
