    By “Senior promotee’s pay” does it mean in the same department/ministry or seniority in a single field office of a ministry/deptt???

    The main aim of the then ACP Scheme was to deal with the problems of genuine stagnation and hardship faced by
    the employees due to lack of adequate promotional avenues and and a decision was taken to grant financial upgradation under the Scheme to the next higher grade in accordance with the existing hierarchy in a cadre/category of posts without creating new posts for the purpose. (However, in case of isolated posts, in the absence of defined
    hierarchical grades, financial up-gradation would be given in the immediately next higher(standard/common) pay-scales.
    In other words, one use to get the pay scale of his next promotional grage in the form of financial upgradation.
    Under MACP, this system discontinued and started granting next higher grade pay by which the main aim of the scheme itself defeted.
    Hence, ANC may please be considered granting grade pay of next higher grade in accordance with the existing hierarchy in a cadre/category of posts as a financial upgradation instead of granting next grade pay.
