(vi) If Government employee is ordered to officiate in a higher post of higher pay structure on a regular basis, the employee will be treated to have availed one advancement from the date of officiating the higher post on higher pay structure.
(3) While determining eligibility of the Government employees under this scheme, it should be considered how many times the concerned employee got the benefit of financial upgradation including promotion after his direct entry into the service in the State Government or as the case may be, after his direct entry into the cadre service of the State Government in which he is presently serving. Each case of promotion or scale upgradation availed by him after his direct entry into cadre where he is presently serving or, as the case may be, in the post/service or a Department will be treated as consumption of one MACP. This will mean that for those employees who entered the cadre service through promotion, the benefit of this promotion along with promotion/scale upgradation availed by him before entry into the cadre service will also be counted as consumption of MACP.
(4) For, providing benefit under MACP (other than benefit already provided under Gradation/ACP/CAS), every Head of Office shall initiate proposal as per prescribed formats as appended to Schedule III to the Head of Department for the employee(s) whose MACP becomes due. On receipt of these proposals from the Heads of Office, the Head of Department will arrange scrutiny at his end and issue formal communication sanctioning the MACP in favour of eligible cases. On receipt of the communication of sanction, the Head of Office shall make fixation under MACP and record the same in the Service Book of the concerned employee.
(5) Those Government employees who had completed 10 years of service before 1st day of April, 2017 but had not got or consumed any benefit of promotion/scale upgradation under revised pay rules framed in the past by the State Government from time to time, they will now be provided the benefit of 1st MACP from the date of his coming over to the revised pay structure under these rules. Similarly, those Government employees who had completed 17 years of service before 1st day of April, 2017 but had not got/consumed any benefit or got/consumed one benefit of promotion or upgradation under Revised Pay Rules framed in the past by the State Government from time to time, they will now be provided the benefit of 2nd MACP directly from the date of his coming over to the revised pay structure under these Rules. In respect of Government employees who had completed 25 years of service before 1St day of April, 2017 but had not got/consumed any benefit of promotion or scale upgradation/financial upgradation or got/consumed two benefits of promotion or financial upgradation under Revised Pay Rules framed in the past by the State Government from time to time, they will now be provided the benefit of 3rd MACP directly from the date of his coming over to the revised pay structure under these rules. The benefit under this provision should be allowed subject to fulfilment of all conditions stipulated in this rule.
(6) The financial up-gradation under the scheme will involve grant of one increment at existing rate in the existing Level of the Pay Matrix in which the pay of the employee is fixed without any further fixation of pay in the immediate next higher Level of the Pay Matrix.
(7) The financial up-gradation under this scheme will be purely personal to the employee concerned and it will have no relevance to his seniority position. There will be no change in his designation or functional/reporting responsibilities. Moreover, other benefits/facilities available for the promotion posts would also not be available to him/her until and unless the Government employee has been duly promoted to the higher post.
(8) Under the MACP, in case an employee whose pay after addition of one increment at existing rate exceeds the highest amount of the Level in the Pay Matrix, to which his pay has been revised an equal pay or the next higher amount shall be located in the immediate next higher Level of the Pay Matrix and the pay would be granted in accordance with the formula mentioned under Rule 13.
(9) The financial benefit of the scheme shall be given with effect from 1st day of April, 2017 only, although the services rendered by the employee before 1st day of April, 2017 and promotions/ACPs benefit availed before 1st day of April, 2017 shall be taken into account for deciding and determining the extent of benefit under MACP. If the post of an employee has been upgraded at any stage of the service career, the same shall be considered as a promotion for the purpose of deciding the benefit of MACPS.
(10) If financial up-gradation takes place by way of promotion or CAS or ACP, as the case may be, prior to the period mentioned in the scheme, no further advancement will be admissible at the end of the period mentioned at that stage.
(11) The past service rendered in Public Sector Undertakings/Autonomous Organisations/ Agencies/Corporations/Statutory bodies etc. shall not be counted for the purpose of MACPS.
(12) If within a year after the date of grant of financial benefit under MACPS the employee becomes eligible and is granted a promotion as per the service rules, the pay fixation for the said promotion will be on the basis of the pay drawn by the employee before receipt of the MACPS benefit. By way of MACP, the pay of the Government employee shall not exceed the highest amount of the Level of the Pay Matrix assigned to his promotion post. However, amount due to MACPS can be same as promotion post. Similarly, if an employee decides to decline a promotion for any reason what-so-ever his case will not be considered for the benefit under MACPS.
(13) Grant of higher pay scale under the Scheme shall be conditional to the fact that an employee, while accepting the said benefit shall deemed to have given his unqualified acceptance for regular promotion on occurrence of vacancy subsequently.
(14) If a Government employee, after availing the financial upgradation under the ACP Scheme subsequently refuses to accept the regular promotion, the financial up gradation already granted will not be withdrawn. However, the subsequent financial up-gradations will get postponed suitably by the Administrative Department.
(15) The employees who are on deputation and become due for consideration for benefit under MACP their cases shall be considered as follows:-
(a) If the post of deputation carries the same pay scale as that of the post held by that employee before the deputation, his case will be considered for MACPS benefit.

(c) In any case the employee will be given an option to accept either the MACPS or the pay scale of the deputation post and such option will be final.
(16) If any employee is ordered by the Government for any reason what-so-ever to join at a lower post either in the same Department or in any other Department, he shall be entitled to the benefit of MACP provided that such order is not issued as a consequence of a Departmental proceedings resulting into the reversion.
(17) If there is a Disciplinary Proceeding or Criminal Proceeding against an employee, the benefits will be granted provisionally from the same date as in normal case and subject to the condition as follows:-
(a) If there is any amount to be recovered as penalty, the recovery will be made as usual under existing rules of the Government.
(b) If stoppage of increment is ordered as penalty, the date of effect of MACP benefit will be delayed by the number equal to the number of stopped increments and recovery for the excess drawn will be made as usual.

Thereafter his/her pay should be fixed in appropriate Cell of the Level 19.

Illustration No. 1: Fixation of Pay of an existing employee under Tripura State Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2017 [See Rule 7]
| Suppose an employee Mr, Q is presently drawing Basic Pay of Rs. 11160/- (Pay in the Pay Band – Rs.8960/- + Grade Pay¬Rs.2200/- = Rs.11160/-).
After multiplying Rs.11160/- with 2.25, a figure of Rs.25110/- is arrived at. The level corresponding to GP — Rs. 2200/-is level 7, as may be seen from Pay matrix.
In the column for level 7, the figure closest to Rs. 25110/- is Rs. 25290.
Hence the pay of employee Mr.Q will be fixed at Rs. 25290/- in level 7 in the new pay matrix. |

Illustration No .2 : Fixation of pay on promotion on or after 1st day of Apri1,2017 under Tripura State Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2017. [See Rule 9].
| Suppose an employee Ms. S, who after having been fixed in the pay matrix is drawing a basic pay of Rs. 27650/- in Level 7.
She gets promotion to the Level 8.
Her pay will be fixed in the following manner:-
She will first be given one increment in her present level (i.e. Level 7) and the amount shall be fixed at Rs. 28480/-.
Then she will be placed in Level 8 by locating an amount equal to or next higher compared to Rs.28480/-. Here it comes to Rs. 28940/-.
Hence the pay of Ms. S in the promotion post will be fixed at Rs. 28940/- in Level 8 in the pay matrix. |
