Subject:- Counting of service for Grant of benefit of II ACP to Sr. Accountant appointed as Accountant from the 1^st July of the next year of passing open examination conducted by SSC as per orders of DoPT and MHA.

Sir,

            I would like to draw your kind attention to the item No:- 10 (b) of the minutes of the meeting held on 6^th November, 2015 between the official side and the National Executive members of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association under your Chairpersonship (issued vide endorsement No:- A-11019/25/2015/MF.CGA (A)/NGE/AICEA-HQ/454 dated 20.11.2015) and state that the ACP Scheme was implemented by the Central Government in pursuance of the recommendation of VCPC and it was decided to grant financial up-gradations to the government servants on completion of 12 and 14 years regular service, if no regular promotion during the prescribed period (12/24-years) have been granted to an employee. For the purpose of calculating the 12/24 years of regular service the date of actual appointment in service as the date of commencement of regular service was taken and accordingly the ACP benefits had been given on completion of 12/24 years from the date of actual appointment in the respective grade.

            However, DoPT Establishment-D have now clarified that-

            “for the purpose of ACP Scheme, the regular service will have to be same as counted for             regular promotion and that the regular service/residency service will have to commence from    the 1^st July of the year of examination. In other works, the regular service in respect of direct          recruitment will commence from the 1^st July of the year following the year of examination and in respect of seniority quota/departmental examination candidates, the regular service will   commence from the 1^st July of the Select List year in which they have been included.”

            A copy of the Office Memorandum No.A-31016/3/99-Ad..1 (B) dated 31.10.2002 issued by Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India in this context is enclosed herewith for your kind reference.

           

            It is therefore requested that, suitable orders for-

           

            (1) Review of financial upgradations granted under ACPs in the Civil Accounts Organization

                  and

            (2) Grant of financial upgradation to the direct recruit Accountants counting their seniority in     service from 1^st July of the year following the year of recruitment (SSC) Examination may            kindly be issued at an early date.
