The Finance Minister sources said the Empowered Committee of Secretaries on the Seventh pay commission recommendations headed by cabinet secretary P K Singh, was not ‘rigid’ on the issue. “There is scope for solution of all outstanding issues including this through discussions.”
All central government employees unions’ discussed with the official of Implementation Cell of Seventh Pay Commission recommendations, in their office to removal the ‘Very Good’ benchmark provision from the pay commission report before its implementation.
The employees unions’ pressed for removal of ‘Very Good’ clause instead of ‘Good’ for Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) in the Seventh Pay Commission report, which it termed as “unconstitutional” and “anti-government employees” as the commission proposed “withholding of annual increments in the case of those employees who are not able to meet the benchmark ‘Very Good’ either for MACP or a regular promotion within the first 20 years of their service.”
“The provision of the benchmark for MACP from ‘Good’ to ‘Very Good’ on recommendations of the Pay Commission is under review. The Ministry is considering for continuing existing ‘Good’ batchmark for Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) after discussions with all stakeholders,” the sources told The Sen Times.
The Sources said that the government wanted to finalise all the issue before June, it’s not possible as a bit more time is needed.
