Foolish comment by some one who said that Dopt . was not the party in Supreme Court in the matter of MACP while defence employees took the matter in the Supreme Court . The moot point is that the Dopt orders giving effect to MACP from 1.9.2008 were in contravention of the recommendations of the 6 th CPC , resolution passed by the Ministry of Finance & the fact that the MACP is not the part of allowance rather pay structure ,hence should be implemented from 1.1.2006. Now the Supreme Court has cleared the issue vide its judgement of Dec. 2017 hence no further scope is left for the Dopt but to issue revised orders at an earliest. Nevertheless the Finance Ministry have also cleared the point in their note sheet recently sent to Dopt that likewise order may be issued as done by the Ministry of Defence in the matter for civilian employees.
