The system takes into account the employee’s performance based on the Annual Performance Appraisal Report (APAR) and assigns a score out of 100 marks. The score is then translated to a 7-level grading system that is used for assessing the employee’s performance.

The 7th CPC MACP APAR Benchmark Grading System is a tool designed to help assess the performance of an employee for the purpose of awarding the Monetary and Annual Increments under the 7th Central Pay Commission’s Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme.

The score is calculated based on the employee’s performance in the Annual Performance Appraisal Report (APAR). The scores for each parameter are weighted and an overall score is calculated.

            You are giving wrong judgement. I was not given any upgradation in the year 2008. So please first go through the record available in the file , read it and give your suggestion after that. I am mentally disturbed with behaviour of people sitting in the administration giving wrong statement. Correct yourself. SAVITRI Verma mobile 9871862666

              This is inform you that this site is not having your file. I said “you might have been given as 3 upgradations from 1-9-2008”. L If you have not got 3 upgradations you may contact your ex-employer, as per DoPT O.M. No.35034 /3/2008-Estt.(D) dated 19-5-2009. The O.M. have received after your retirement, so you Ex- employer have omitted your name.. Otherwise register a complaint & log in http://www.cpao.gov.in – If any doubt contact me 04442655546.
