SOMETHING TO BE CLARIFIED - SOME KNOWS TO KNOW

1. Can the ACP/MACP denied to those who had refused regular 
     promotion ?

For ACP : (from clarification issued for ACP) “The ACP Scheme has been introduced to provide relief in cases of acute stagnation where the employees, despite being eligible for promotion in all respects, are deprived of regular promotion for long periods due to non-availability of vacancies in the higher grade. Cases of holders of isolated posts have also been covered under ACPS, as they do not have any promotional avenues. However, where a promotion has been offered before the employee could be considered for grant of benefit under ACPS but he refuses to accept such promotion, then he cannot be said to be stagnating as he has opted to remain in the existing grade on his own volition. As such, there is no case for grant of ACPS in such cases. The official can be considered for regular promotion again after the necessary debarment period”.



For MACP (from MACP Order) “ lf a regular promotion has been offered but was refused by the employee before becoming entitled to a financial up-gradation, no financial up-gradation shall be allowed as such an employee has not been stagnated due to lack of opportunities. If, however, financial up-gradation has been allowed due to stagnation and the employees subsequently refuse the promotion, it shall not be a ground to withdraw the financial up-gradation. He shall, however, not be eligible to be considered for further financial up-gradation till he agrees to be considered for promotion again and the second the next financial up-gradation shall also be deferred to the extent of period of debarment due to the refusal”.

2. Disclosure of APAR


As per DOPT instruction, grading of APAR should be disclosed to the official concerned. does it mean that photocopy of the APAR should be given to the individual. Is there any format prescribed (covering letter) for disclosure of APAR ?

"Full APAR" is to be communicated. Hence it should be a Photostat copy.


3. Can Govt dues be adjusted against final payment of GPF with the consent of a Govt servant ?


Never come across any such restriction. Moreover, when GPF become due as final payment it is employees booty which he may consensually get adjusted in regard to outstanding govt. dues.
