New Delhi - 110055
Sub:-Recommendations of 6th CPC-MACP Scheme regarding.
The undersigned is directed to refer to NFIR’s letter No.
IV/MACPS/09/Pt-6, dated 23/05/2013 and to state that the matter has been
examined in consultation with DoP&T, the nodal Department of Government
on MACP Scheme has been clarified that the incumbents of the lower post
CANNOT be treated as initially appointed in the upgraded post just because
the two lower rungs of the promotional hierarchy have been abolished under
two consecutive cadre restructuring. In fact, it is the post which are
upgraded. The incumbent’s appointment to the upgraded post is by way of
promotion only.
Accordingly, the employees who had joined the post of Tracers on
direct recruitment basis with matric as recruitment qualification for the
post, have already earned two promotions by reaching Sr. Draftsman post
(re-designated as JE-II), first promotion as Assistant Draftsman and
2nd promotion as Senior Draftsman / JE-II, either in normal course or
as a result of Board's instructions dated 25-06-1985 and 28.09.1998
respectively. Thus such employees are entitled for 3rd financial upgradation
only subject to fulfilment of other terms and conditions as related
therewith, provided that they have not earned any further promotions.
Yours faithfully,

No.11013/08/2013-Estt.(A)-III
Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions
Department of Personnel & Training
North Block, New Delhi
Dated the 6th June, 2013
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Representation from Government servant on service
matters.
The undersigned is directed to refer to the Ministry of Home
Affair’s O.M No.118/52-Ests. dated the 30th April, 1952, O.M No.
25/34/68-Estt.(A) dated the 20th December, 1968 and this Department’s O.M
No.11013/07/1999-Estt.(A) dated the 1st November, 1999 (copies enclosed for
ready reference) on the above mentioned subject. This Department is receiving
a number of representations, on service matters, addressed to the Prime
Minister / Minister / Secretary (P) and other officers directly from the
Government servants.
2. It has been envisaged in these instructions that whenever, in
any matter connected with his service rights or conditions, a Government
servant wishes to press a claim or to seek redress of a grievance, the proper
course for him is to address his immediate official superior, or the Head of
his office, or such other authority at the lowest level as is competent to
deal with the matter. Of late, it is observed that there is an increasing
tendency on the part of officers at different levels to by-pass the
prescribed channels of representation and write directly to the high
functionaries totally ignoring the prescribed channels. The problem is more
acute in large Departments where often very junior employees at clerical
level address multiple representations to the Minster, Prime Minister and
other functionaries. Apart from individual representations, the service
unions have also developed a tendency to write to the Ministers and Prime
Minister on individual grievance. Some of these representations are often
forwarded through Members of Parliament, in violation of Rule 20 of the CCS
(Conduct) Rule, 1964.
3. Existing instructions clearly provide that representations on
service matters should be forwarded through proper channel. The stage at
which an advance copy of the representation may be sent to higher authorities
has also been indicated. In MHA O.M. No. 25/34/68-Estt.(A) dated 20.12.68
time limits for disposal of various types of representations have been
prescribed. If it is anticipated that an appeal or petition cannot be
disposed of within a month of its submission, an acknowledgement or interim
reply should be sent to the individual within a month.
4. Thus adequate instructions are available in the matter of
submission of representations by the Government servants and treatment of the
representations by the authorities concerned. As such submission of
representations directly to higher authorities by- passing the prescribed
channel of communication, has to be viewed seriously and appropriate
disciplinary action should be taken against those who violate these
instructions as it can rightly be treated as an unbecoming conduct attracting
the provisions of Rule 3 (1) (iii) of the CCS (Conduct) Rules. 1964.
5. It is again reiterated that these instructions may be brought
to the notice of all Govt. servants and appropriate disciplinary action may
be taken against those who violate these instructions.

Y.K.Wadhwa)
Under Secretary to the Government of India
Copy of the Office Memorandum No.118/52-Ests. Dated 30th April,
1952
Representations from Government Servants on service matters —
advance copies.
Reference are frequently received in this Ministry enquiring
whether the submission of advance copies of representations to higher
authorities is permissible and as to the treatment that should be accorded to
such copies. The matter has been carefully considered and the following
instructions are issued for the guidance of al concerned
2. Whenever, in any matter connected with his service rights or
conditions, a Government servant wishes to press a claim or to seek redress
of a grievance, the proper course for him is to address his immediate superior
official, or the Head of office, or such other authority at the lowest level
as he is competent to deal with the matter. An appeal or representation to a
higher authority must not be made unless the appropriate lower authority has
already rejected the claim or refused relief or ignored or unduly delayed the
disposal of the case. Representations to still higher authorities (.e.g.
those addressed to the President, the Government or to Hon’ble Minister) must
be submitted through the proper channel (i.e, the Head of Office, etc.
concerned). There will be no objection at that stage, but only at that stage
to an advance copy of the representation being sent direct.
3. The treatment by the higher authorities of advance copies of
representations so received should be governed by the following general
principles —
(a) If the advance copy does not clearly show that all means of
securing attention or redress from lower authorities have been duly tried and
exhausted, the representation should be ignored or rejected summarily on that
ground, the reasons being communicated briefly to the Government servants. If
the Government servant persists in this prematurely addressing the higher
authorities, suitable disciplinary action should be taken against him.
(b) If the advance copy shows clearly that all appropriate lower
authorities have been duly addressed and exhausted, it should be examined to
ascertain whether on the facts as stated, some grounds for interference or
for further consideration, prima facie exist. Where no such grounds appear,
the representation may be ignored or summarily rejected , the reasons being
communicated briefly to the Government servant.
(C) Even where some grounds for interference or further
consideration appear to exist, the appropriate lower authority should be
asked. within a reasonable time, to forward the original representation, with
its report and comments on the points urged. There is ordinarily no
justification for the passing of any orders on any representation without thus
ascertaining the comments of the appropriate lower authority.
4. Some Government servants are in the habit of sending copies
of their representations also to outside authorities, i.e. authorities who
are not directly concerned with the consideration thereof (e.g. other
Honorable Minister, Secretary, Members of Parliament, etc). This is a most
objectionable practice, contrary to official propriety and subversive of good
discipline and all Government servants are expected scrupulously to eschew
it.
Copy of the Office Memorandum No. 25/34/68-Estt.(A) Dated
20.12.1968
Representations from Government servants on service matters —
Treatment of
Reference is invited to the Ministry of Home Affairs Office
Memorandum No.118/52-Ests. Dated the 30th April, 1952 on the subject
mentioned above (copy enclosed for ready reference). It has been brought to
the notice of the Ministry of Home Affairs that undue delay occurs very often
in the disposal of representations from Government servants in regard to
matters connected with the service rights or conditions which causes hardship
to the individuals concerned.
2. The representations from Government servants on service
matters may be broadly classified as follows :-
(1) Representations/complaints regarding non-payment of
salary/allowances or othe dues.
(2) Representations on other service matters,
(3) Representations against the orders of the immediate superior
authority: and
(4) Appeals and petitions under statutory rules and orders (e.g.
Classification Control and Appeal Rules and the petition Instructions).
3. In regard to representations of the type mentioned at (1) and
(2) above, if the individual has not received a reply thereto within a month
of its submission, he could address, or ask for an interview with the next
higher officer for redress of his grievances. Such superior officer should
immediately send for the papers and take such action as may be called for,
without delay.
4. Representations of the type mentioned at (3) above, would be
made generally only in cases where there is no provision under the statutory
rules or orders for making appeals or petitions. Such representations also
should be dealt with as expeditiously as possible. ‘The provisions of the
preceding paragraph would apply to such representations also, but not to
Later representations made by the same Government servant on the same subject
after his earlier representation has been disposed off appropriately.
5. In regard to the representations of the type mentioned at (4)
above, although the relevant rules or orders do not prescribe a time limit
for disposing of appeals and petitions by the competent authority, it should
be ensured that all such appeals and petitions receive prompt attention and
are disposed within a reasonable time. If it is anticipated that an appeal or
a petition cannot be disposed of within a month of its submission, an
acknowledgement or an interim reply should be sent to the individual within a
month.
6. The instructions contained in paragraph 2 of this Ministry’s
Office Memorandum No.118/52-Ests. Dated the 30th April, 1952, will stand
modified to the extent indicated in the paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 above.
