Eligibility for macp after technical resignation, in same grade pay

Hello everyone. 

I am working in an autonomous tertiary care health institute under central governement. I joined as nursing officer in grade pay of 4600 in the year 2002. Thereafter got my first MACP with grade pay of 4800 in the year 2012. In 2016, under direct recruitment i got selected and joined for the post of Public Health Nursing Officer with starting grade pay of 4800 in the same institute after submitting technical resignation. My 2nd MACP is being denied which was due in the year 2022 after 10 years of regular service in the same grade pay of 4800 by the concerned establishment. Verbally conveying that I will get it in 2026 ( since the date i joined the new post) ,no written reply was given inspite of three representations since 2022. Kindly guide how to persue my case so that i can get my due 2nd MACP (2022) by considering my past service in the same grade pay since 2012.

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.
