Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP)
Financial up-gradation intervals, nature, APAR benchmark and deferment.
Nature of Up-gradation
MACP provides a purely financial up-gradation to the immediate next higher Level in the 7th CPC Pay Matrix. It does not change functional designation, responsibilities or seniority status.
Performance Benchmarking · APAR
Up-gradation is subject to fitness evaluation based on Annual Performance Appraisal Reports (APAR). The stated benchmark is at least “Very Good” continuously for all the preceding five years.
Effect of Penalties & Deferment
If an employee has an active major/minor penalty under D&AR rules or is rated below the benchmark, the up-gradation date is described as deferred for the currency period of the penalty or until fitness is achieved.
