increment
7th Pay Commission MACP
changes – Benchmark for allowing MACP increased from ‘Good’ to ‘Very Good’.
Annual Increments to be withheld in the first 20 years if not eligible for MACP
Govt
accepts 7th Pay Commission’s proposal for increasing the benchmark for allowing
MACP from “Good” to “Very
Good”.
The
other proposal of 7th Pay Commission that annual increment will be withheld in
the first 20 years of service if an employee fails to attain the benchmark for
MACP or promotion, has also been accepted by Govt.
These
are two significant changes in the service conditions of Central Government
Employees as their pay will be related to their performance to some extent
after implementation of 7th Pay Commission.
