Is this method of ACP is right and acceptable

Why a teacher should be deprived of the chance to get 2 fixations at the time of grant of Ist ACP if no promotion was offered within 12 years & at the time of grant of IInd ACP if no promotion was offered within 24 years of regular service ?

Suppose, a teacher joined service on 1.1.1970. He got the first promotion on 22.3.2002.
Is he not eligible for Ist and IInd ACP on 9.8.1999 ?
He also got senior scale on 2.1.1987 without FR 22 (i) a (i) fixation benefit.
In this connection is it not his right to get Ist & IInd ACP on 9.8.1999 ?

The Delhi cabinet has taken a decision (on 17.4.2008 no.1390). In this connection the Education Dept of Delhi vide OM no F3/3/2004/GAD/CN-1754-1765 dt.23.4.2008 has communicated that the senior scale given after 1999 should not be recovered.

Then what would be about prior to 1999 !! Please inform me whether Delhi teachers have got FIXATION BENEFIT WHILE GETTING SENIOR SCALE, IF THEY HAVE ACCEPTED THE SENIOR SCALE AS THEIR FIRST ACP?

IN PONDICHERRY THE ENTIRE TEACHING COMMUNITY ROSE TOGETHER TO THE DENIAL OF THE GRANT OF FIRST ACP TO THE SENIOR SCALE HOLDERS!
THIS MAY BE THE SAME STATUS IN MANY STATES TOO.

The senior scale is not a promotion. But ACP is LIKE a promotion because FR 22 (i) a (i) is granted?

If so, this is not a fault of a teacher then why should he forego one FR 22 (i) a (i) fixation by loosing one ACP?

Clarification no 47 of the ACP guidelines indicates that the benefit accrued thro' one scheme cannot be withdrawn by another scheme as the new scheme is a mere switching over one. Hence a teacher who got senior scale without a promotion till 13 years of regular service is eligible for first ACP if he has got senior scale and his first promotion in a same scale of pay.

In Pondicherry a TGT gets senior scale and first promotion in 6500-200-10500 scale of pay. About 2000 teachers demand that they should all be given FR 22 (i) a (i) benefit either at the time of senior scale or as on 1999 as they were not granted first promotion within 12 years of regular service.

If the teacher is not benefited, what will happen to one FR22 (i) a (i) ?

The entire Pondicherry teachers are fighting with the Govt. in getting ACP I for the senior scale holders AS IN PONDICHERRY ALL TEACHERS HAVE GOT BOTH SENIOR SCALE AND THEIR FIRST PROMOTION ON A SAME SCALE OF PAY DUE TO THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE CHANNEL PROMOTIONS.

Thanks God, finally DELTA agreed that the demand of Pondicherry teachers is logical and pragmatically one which may find a good place on the judicial floor !!

Here we request all educationists in INDIA to respond on these types of promotions and grant of ACP---

Suppose, a teacher joined in 1981 in 5500-7000 scale . He got senior scale in 1993 without FR 22 (i) a ( i) in 6500-200-9000 scale. He got first promotion in 2004 in 6500-200-9000 scale of pay. Is he not eligible for first ACP on 1999 with FR 22 (i) a ( i) and second ACP in 2005 with FR 22 (i) a ( i).

Please respond as a cabinet decision is pending with our Lt.Governor. About 2000 teachers will be benefitted if first ACP is granted in1999 who have conferred with senior scale prior to 1999.
