Eligibility for macp after technical resignation, in same grade pay

You have technically resigned from the job and joined a new post in 2016.  Hence your MACP will be issued in 2026.

Thanks for the reply, However, as per GOI No.DOPT-1669022409144 dated (Dated 21 November, 2022 )paragraph 17 which is as follows:

"past continuous regular service in same/another Central Government Department in a post carrying same Pay Level in the Pay Matrix prior to regular appointment in a new Department, without a break, shall also be counted towards qualifying regular service for the purpose of MACPS only (and not for the regular promotions)."

The same condition of past regular service also fits my case. KIndly reply

You have stated that you have made three representations in this regard but could not invoke any response yet.

When and what was the mode of your representation?

Have you sent the application by email?

If so, better send a reminder addressed directly to the competent authority by attaching the copies of the previous representations, through proper channel by hard copy instead of adopting email media.

In your reminder you can mention the ruling you have cited here as an authority to enable them to take a considered decision.

If you still don't get a response after waiting for a reasonable period of time, you can approach CAT for relief and remedy.

17.     'Regular Service' for the purpose of the MACPS shall commence from the date of joining of a post in direct entry grade on a regular basis either on direct recruitment basis or on absorption/re-employment basis. Service rendered on casual, adhoc/contract basis before regular appointment on pre-appointment training shall not be taken into reckoning. However, past continuous regular service in same/another Central Government Department in a post carrying same Pay Level in the Pay Matrix prior to regular appointment in a new Department, without a break, shall also be counted towards qualifying regular service for the purpose of MACPS only (and not for the regular promotions). However, benefits under the MACPS in such cases shall not be considered till satisfactory completion of the probation period in the new post. 

Though the clause is indicating that you are eligible for the benefit but to my understanding this is regarding the adhoc /contract based employees; that is if any employee who was absorbed or regurlized in the same or other central Govt. department he shall be eligible for the benefit if he served the department without any break.

You can at the most send a legal Notice to the department concerned with a copy to AG's office and if no satisfactory response is received then you can file a writ petition.
