Lt Governor V K Saxena has approved financial benefits for principals, vice principals, and other officials in the Delhi government’s Education Department under the Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) scheme, officials reported on Thursday.
This decision impacts 194 officials, both retired and serving, effective from 2008. Last year, the Lt Governor mandated MACP benefits for retired officials not belonging to organised services. In February this year, Saxena extended MACP benefits to 151 serving and retired officials.
While approving the matter, the Lt Governor also expressed concern over delays in providing information on litigation costs and assigning responsibility to relevant officers, according to the LG office.
The MACP scheme, implemented by the Centre from September 1, 2008, aims to alleviate stagnation among government employees by offering financial upgrades after 10, 20, and 30 years of service.
The Education Department has been instructed to submit a compliance report within seven days, detailing litigation costs, officer responsibilities, and any issued show cause notices.
