RBE No. 99(A)/2020: MACPS to Station Masters

No.PC-V/2018/MACP/1(SM), dated 24.11.2020

S.No.PC-VII/161

Sub: Grant of financial up-gradation under MACPS to Station Masters.

1. Reference from Federation (NFIR and AIRF) and a few Railways have been received for ignoring the promotion/ up-gradation from ASM (GP 2800) to SM (GP 4200) for grant of financial up-gradation under MACPS to those employees who have further been absorbed in other cadres by way of selection on lateral induction or due to medical de-categorization. The matter has been examined in consultation with Finance Directorate and it has been decided that the benefit of Board’s letter dated 25.02.2020 (RBE No.26/2020) would also be extended to such employees who have progressed to other cadres by way of lateral induction/ selection or due to medical de-categorization and would be granted financial up-gradation under MACPS by ignoring their promotion/ financial up-gradation from ASM (GP 2800) to SM (GP 4200) irrespective of their progression in other cadres. 

2. The benefit of the financial up-gradation in such cases would accrue from 16.02.2018 onwards, even if financial up-gradation happens to become due before 16.02.2018 as a consequence of ignoring the promotion from ASM to SM. 

3. This issues with the concurrence of Finance Directorate of Ministry of Railways. 

4. Hindi version is enclosed.
