If it upgradation as MACP only in the 7th CPC basic pay may revise as next level changes, otherwise if it is normal promotion due to the vacant post/retirement, no change in basic pay your designation changes higher next designation.
Manish says
Sir, I am promoted w.e.f. 26.12.17 on the grade of 4200/- pre revised scale. Can i change my option under this order.
M.K.Kumar says
Check up your promotion date was not preview of your basic pay in pre-revised scales it was as per the matrix level pay only, if it is lower pay than new pay is benefted, you have to repay old pay.. Whichever is beneficial you can give option. After completion of 10 years you may get MACP upgradration from your joining duty and similar Promotions you have already got.
M.K.KUMAR says
Is it your up-gradation of MACP or promotion due to retirement/vacant post. If MACP automatically your basic will be upgraded to next matrix level from that date, otherwise your old basic pay will be given to you & your next higher designation changes from that day.
