O R D E R

Per: Hon’ble Mr. Ashish Kalii; Judicial Member

The applicant joined the service under the respondents as Inspector of Central Excise. He was granted 1st and 2nd financial upgradations w.e.f. 9.8.1999 and 22.6.2008. Later he was promoted to the post of Superintendent of Central Excise w.e.f. 24.9.2002 and as the upgradation – benefits were already given under ACP scheme he was not eligible for any benefits at the time of promotion. The applicant was granted the Grade Pay of Rs. 5,400/- in PB-2 of Rs. 9,300-34,800/- w.e.f. 24.9.2006 on completion of four years of service as Superintendent. Since the applicant was not granted any further promotion he is eligible for 3rd financial upgradation under the MACP scheme. Applicant submitted a representation to the respondents in this regard. However, the respondents in reply to the above representation given him a copy of the letter dated 18.2.2015 (Annexure A10) stating that since the Pay and Accounts Officer has raised objection in granting financial upgradation under the MACP scheme in the Grade Pay of Rs. 6,600/- to those Superintendents who had been granted the Grade Pay of Rs. 5,400/- in PB-2 on completion of four years service had sought a clarification from the Ministry and further the Hon’ble High Court of Madras has remitted the matter to the Department of Personal, Public Grievances and Pension for fresh consideration with directions to consider the issue in extension. Respondent No. 1 examined the matter and issued Annexure A8 clarification. However, the respondents have denied the benefit of 3rd financial upgradation under the MACP scheme to the applicant on the wrong interpretation of paragraph 81 of Annexure Al OM dated 19.5.2009 (Annexure A3). Being aggrieved the applicant has filed the present OA with the following relief:

Also check: MACP guidance as per recommendations of the 7th CPC

    8.I This Honourable Tribunal may be pleased to declare that the provisions of para 8.1 of Annexure I to the OM No.35034/3/2008-Estt(D) dated 19.5.2009 is not applicable in the case of the applicant and he is eligible for the 3rd financial upgradation in Grade Pay of Rs. 6,600/- in PB- 3 as per the MACP scheme and direct the respondents to grant and disburse to the applicant the financial benefits within a reasonable period as decided by the Hon’ble Tribunal.8.2 This Honourable Tribunal may be pleased to declare that the Grade pay of Rs. 5,400/- in PB-2 granted under the CCS (RP) Rules to the Superintendents of Central Excise on completion of four year service is not a financial upgradation falling under the purview of the MACP scheme.

2. Notices were issued to the respondents. They entered appearance through Shri P.R. Sreejith, ACGSC who filed a detailed reply statement contending that the applicant joined the Department as Inspector of Central Excise on 22.6.1984. He was granted 1st and 2nd financial upgradation under the ACP scheme w.e.f. 9.8.1999 and 22.6.2008 respectively. He was promoted as Superintendent of Central Excise w.e.f. 24.9.2002 and further was granted Grade Pay of Rs. 5,400/- in PB-II in the scale of Rs. 9,300-34,800/- w.e.f. 24.9.2006 on completion of four years service as Superintendent. Respondent No.1 vide letter dated 21.7.2010 has clarified that the benefit of non-functional upgradation granted to the Superintendent (Group-B) officers on completion of 4 years of service would be treated/viewed as an upgradation in terms of paragraph 8.1 of Annexure to OM dated 19.5.2009 (Annexure A3) and the same would be offset against one financial upgradation under MACP scheme. The applicant was granted Grade Pay of Rs. 5,400/- in PB-II as non-functional upgradation w.e.f. 24.9.2006 and was afforded the benefit of fixation of pay under FR 22. The respondents would submit that the post/grade at S-15 has been placed at PB- II with Grade Pay of Rs. 5,400/- and next higher grade pay in the hierarchy of the recommended revised pay band and grade pay is PB-III with Grade Pay of Rs. 5,400/-. Paragraph 8.1. of Annexure of MACP scheme provides that consequent upon the implementation of the 6th CPC’s recommendations, grade pay of Rs. 5,400/- is now in two pay bands viz., PB-2 and PB-3. The grade pay of Rs. 5,400/- in PB-2 and Rs.5,400/- in PB-3 shall be treated as separate grade pays for the purpose of grant of upgradation under MACP scheme. The non-functional Grade Pay of Rs. 5,400/- granted to the applicant in PB-II after completion of 4 years regular service as Superintendent is to be treated/viewed as an upgradation in terms of respondent No. 1 clarifications. The respondents further contended that the judgments/orders relied on by the applicant is not applicable to the facts and circumstances of the present case. Respondents pray for dismissing the OA.

3. We have heard the applicant who appeared in person and the learned Central Government counsel appearing for the respondents in the matter. We have also perused the argument notes submitted by the applicant. Perused the records.

4. It is also undisputed that the Superintendents of Customs and Central Excise are having two Grade Pays in PB-2 i.e. one with Grade Pay of Rs.4800/- and another with Grade Pay of Rs 5400/-. The officials become entitled to Pay Band 2 with Grade Pay of Rs.5400/- only after they complete 4 years of service as Superintendents in the Grade Pay of Rs.4800/-.

5. MACP Scheme has brought systemic changes to the then existed ACP Scheme. Both the Schemes were to alleviate the drudgery of lack of promotional avenues of the government servants for a long time. Under the ACP Scheme, financial upgradation in the promotional scale were given on completion of 12 years and 24 years respectively without promotion whereas in the MACP scheme three financial upgradations counting from a direct entry grade on completion of 10, 20 and 30 years respectively whenever a person has spent 10 years continuously in the same Grade Pay. The MACP Scheme envisages merely placement in the immediate next higher Grade Pay in the hierarchy of recommended revised Pay Bands under the CCS (Revised Pay) Rules, 2008. It is also to be noted that the Grade Pay at the time of financial upgradation under the MACP Scheme can, in certain cases where regular promotion is not between two successive grades, be different than what is available at the time of regular promotion and in such cases the higher Grade Pay attached to the next promotion post in the hierarchy of the concerned cadre will be given only at the time of regular promotion. It is further to be noted that the Grade Pay of Rs.5400/- is now in two Pay Bands viz; PB2 and PB3. Para 8.1 of the MACP Scheme states:

    8.1 Consequent upon the implementation of sixth CPC’s recommendations , grade pay of Rs.5400 is now in two pay bands viz., PB-2 and PB-3. The grade pay of Rs.5400 in PB-2 and Rs.5400 in PB-3 shall be treated as separate grade pays for the purpose of grant of upgradations under MACP Scheme.

6. Grade Pay of Rs.5400/- is given to Superintendents of Central Excise, on completion ·of their 4 years’ service in PB-2 with Grade Pay of Rs.4800/-. Applicant joined the service as Inspector 22·06.1984 and he was granted 1st ACP benefits in the grade of Superintendent i.e. PB-2 Rs. 9,300-34,800/-­ plus Grade Pay of Rs. 4,800/-. Later he was promoted as Superintendent of Central Excise w.e.f. 24.9.2002. Since the applicant was already granted 1st financial upgradation under ACP scheme he was not eligible for any benefits at the time of promotion. However, on completion of four years service as Superintendent applicant was granted non-functional upgradation in PB-2 Rs. 9,300-34,800/- plus Grade Pay of Rs. 5,400/- w.e.f. 24.09.2006. The applicant was granted 2nd financial upgradation under the ACP scheme w.e.f. 22.06.2008 on completion of 24 years of service in PB-3 Rs. 15600-39100/-­ with Grade Pay of Rs. 5,400/-. Therefore, the applicant has been granted three financial upgradations as stated above. The respondents contend that the placement of the applicant in the Grade Pay of Rs.5400/- in Pay Band 2 under NFG (non-functional upgradation) has to be treated as a separate Grade Pay for the purpose of grant of upgradation under the MACP Scheme.

7. Financial upgradations under the schemes of ACP and MACP are policy decisions of the Government of India and they are to be implemented strictly in terms of the schemes. Any interpretation inconsistent with the scheme cannot be acceded to Paragraph 8.1 of the MACP scheme as quoted above which in unambiguous terms state that Grade Pay of Rs.5400/- in PB- 2 and the Grade Pay of Rs.5400 in PB-3 are to be treated as separate Grade Pays for the purpose of grant of financial upgradation under the MACP Scheme. In the 6th CPC revised pay structure after completion of 4 years of service in the PB-2 with Grade Pay of Rs. 4,800/- a higher Grade Pay of Rs.5400/- is granted in Pay Band-2 itself. As per para 8.1 of the MACP scheme such placement in higher Grade Pay has to be treated as a separate Grade Pay for the purpose of MACP Scheme. Therefore, the applicant had already undergone 3 financial upgradations. Hence now the applicant cannot be considered for the 3rd financial upgradation as it would be contrary to the MACP Scheme. Ignoring the granting of non-functional Grade Pay of Rs.5400/- in PB-2 for the purpose of MACP is not in accordance with the government policy and hence is not correct.

8. In the light of the above discussion, we hold that there is no merit in the above Original Applications. The Original Application is dismissed. Parties shall suffer their own costs.

Dear Sir,
Sub: Applicability of Rule 31 of Railway Service (Pension) Rules 1993 for counting of service period paid from contingencies for calculation of pension, gratuity on retirement - reg.

Ref: (i) NFIR’s PNM Item No: 27/2011.
(ii) Railway Board’s letter No. 2016/ E(LR)I/NM1-12 dated 14/12/2016.
(iii) NFIR’s letter No. II/35 Part XIII dated 19/12/2016.
(iv) Railway Board’s letter No. E(NG)II/2014/ CL/RWF/6 PNM - NFIR dated 17/05/2017 .

(vii) PCPO / RWF’s letter No. RWF/ G0-26/566 dated 08th March, 2019 to Secretary (E), Railway Board.
(viii) Railway Board’s letter No E(NG)II/ 2017/ER/CL/4 dated 15/05/2019 addressed to GM(P) RWF.

Kind attention is invited to the Federation’s demand to consider applicability of Rule No. 31 of Railway Service (Pension) Rules 1993 for counting of service period paid from contingencies for calculation of retirement gratuity in favour of former casual labour who were paid wages for contingency and absorbed subsequently in Rail Wheel Factory, Yelahanka vide NFIR’s Agenda Item No. 27/2011. Federation takes note that though the Railway board vide letter dated 15/05/2019 issued half-baked clarification to RWF Authorities with reference to PCPO, RWF’s letter dated 08th March,2019 without mentioning NFIR PNM Agenda Item pending since the last about eight years since the year 2011.

In this connection, NFIR re-iterates that the Apex Court in its Judgement / Order in Civil Appeal No. 3938 of 2017 [ arising out SLP (C) No. 23723 of 2015 dated 24th March, 2017] gave following directions (in para 55) for compliance:-

1. the casual worker after obtaining temporary status is entitled to reckon 50% of his services till he is regularized on a iegular/temporary post for the purposes of calculation of Pension.
2. the casual worker before obtaining the temporary status is also entitled to reckon 50% of casual service for purposes of pension.
3. Those casual workers who are appointed to any post either substantively or in officiating or in temporary capacity are entiled to reckon the entire period from date of taking charge to such post as per Rule 20 of Rules, 1993.

Federation feels disappointed that the clarification dated 15/05/2019 is inadequate due to the fact that instructions covering above points have not been incorporated for taking action by all Zones/ PUs to settle similarly placed cases including those of RWF, Yelahanka.

NFIR, therefore, requests the Railway Board to consider and issue modified instructions to the General Managers of Zones / PUs & RWF citing NFIR’s PNM meeting discussions.

A copy of the instructions may be endorsed to the Federation.

Yours faithfully,
(Dr.M. Raghavaiah)
General Secretary
