The Full Form of MACP is‍ Modified Assured Career Progression.

The central government civilian employees will now have better clarity about their Financial Up-gradations. Under the Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) Scheme, three Financial Up-gradations are allowed on completion of 10, 20. 30 years of regular service, or 10 years of continuous service in the same level in Pay Matrix, counted from the direct entry grade. The 7th Central Pay Commission had recommended that MACP be continued to be administered at 10, 20 and 30 years as before.

The Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pension had issued an Office Memorandum in October 2019 on consolidated guidelines and rules regarding MACP Scheme for central government civilian employees. The OM carries a detailed report of the MACP Scheme and the conditions for the grant of Financial Up-gradations under the scheme.
