The officials, who would be granted MACPS between 2nd January, 2016 and 1st July, 2016 will also be granted punishment of withholding the normal increment in 2016 in CCS (Revised Pay Rules), 2016 

            What a great punishment the officials have got who would be granted the Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACPS) during the period between the 2nd day of January, 2016 and 1st day of July, 2016 (both inclusive). It will be clear if you read the following few lines.

These officials had got their normal increment on 1st day of July, 2015 in the CCS (Revised Pay Rules), 2008. They will get normal increment on 1st day of July, 2016 CCS (Revised Pay Rules), 2008 but the same will be adjusted with the benefit of fixation of pay by granting one increment given in the Level from which the official is promoted and placing at a Cell equal to the figure so arrived at in the Level of the post to which promoted and if no such Cell is available in the Level to which promoted, placing at the next higher Cell in that Level.

Thus the official would be deprived of getting the normal increment in 2016 despite having worked for one year on 1st day of July, 2016 after getting normal increment on 1st day of July, 2015. He will get the normal increment on1st day of January, 2017 that is after one and half years. Is not it a great punishment!

Following examples will illustrate more clearly how the 7th CPC have punished these particular type of officials who would be granted the Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACPS) during the period between the 2nd day of January, 2016 and 1st day of July, 2016 (both inclusive).
