What is "Heirarchy"
Generally
we all know that the word ‘Hierarchy’ means ‘an arrangement of items’.
The same word plays an important role among the government employees. An
employee who gets promoted from lower pay-scale to higher pay-scale as a
result of promotion, the formation of pay structure is called
‘Promotional Hierarchy’.
Courtesy : http://postmasters-dop.blogspot.in/
It
is very normal that each and every central government employee is eager
to get a promotion in his service. The advancement of an employee from
one grade to another grade is called promotion. That pattern of pay
structure for promotion, which gives one grade to another grade with pay
range is called ‘Promotional Hierarchy’.
In
every central government departments, various staff are working
together, but their pay differs. Promotion is provided on the basis of
their own promotional hierarchy of category of post. Hierarchy is not
common for all employees. It maintained ‘Basic Pay Structure’ for every
category of post in every departments. Even though, the same category of
employees working in different departments, they may have also
different promotional hierarchy.
Initially
in 2008, 6th CPC had recommended the new Grade Pay structure for all
Central Government employees, this formation also called ‘Hierarchy of
Grade Pay’. This Grade Pay Hierarchy is common for all employees, but
‘Promotional Hierarchy’ will differ to each category. In 5th CPC, the
order in pay structure was 3050, 3200, 4000, 4500, 5000, 5500, 6500..,
but all the employees didn’t get promotion in this order. Every
department has different pattern of pay structure for promotion. This is
known as ‘Promotional Hierarchy’.
Erstwhile ACP Scheme was based on ‘Promotional Hierarchy’.
The Modified ACP Scheme is based on ‘Grade Pay Hierarchy’.
An
employee getting promotion as per his ‘Promotional Hierarchy’, whereas
an employee getting MACP upgradation as per ‘Grade Pay Hierarchy’. The
Grade Pay has created many anomalies within a single cadre. Hence, all
the Trade Unions and Federations summarily rejected and insisted that
grade pay of the next promotional post to be granted under the new MACP
Scheme instead of granting next higher grade pay in the revised grade
pay hierarchy. One more alternative also given by staff side in MACP
Core meeting held on 25.2.2010 that the first two MACPs after 10 and 20
years should be to the next promotional post as per the hierarchy of
respective department as under the erstwhile ACP scheme and thereafter
the third MACP in the next grade pay of the revised pay band and grade
pay.
Finally,
Dopt has ordered to send the necessary information in respect of
specific categories of employees where the MACPs is less advantageous
that the erstwhile ACPS. It is based on the discussion with the Staff
Side in 3rd meeting of the Joint Committee of MACP Scheme held on
15.03.2011. It identified more in some departments like Railways,
Defence, Urban development, Home affairs and Postal.

What are NEFT and RTGS?
National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT) and Real Time Gross Settlement
(RTGS) allow individuals, companies and firms to transfer funds from one
bank to another. You can check the RBI website for a list of NEFT and
RTGS-enabled branches of your bank. These facilities can only be used
for transferring money within the country. To opt for these, you need to
fill a form providing your or the beneficiary’s details — name, bank
branch where the account is held, the Indian Financial System Code, a
unique code for identifying the branch, and the account number and type.
You have to submit a cheque while opting for this facility. You can
also transfer funds through net banking. These are third-party transfers
and the option is available under the same header on your net banking
home page.
How much can be transferred?
There is no ceiling on the minimum or maximum amount that can be
transferred through NEFT. You can even transfer Re 1. However, a minimum
of Rs 2 lakh must be transferred through the RTGS service. There is no
cap on the maximum amount, though. However, banks may restrict the
amount you can transfer in one day. For example, HDFC Bank allows a
maximum of Rs 10 lakh to be transferred in a day.
What are the charges applicable?
According to RBI, banks cannot levy any charge for inward remittances or
on receipt of funds. However, it has capped the charges on outward
transfers through NEFT and RTGS. For transfers through the former, you
need to pay around Rs 5-25, depending on the amount. Banks cannot charge
more than Rs 5 for any transfer up to Rs 1 lakh, Rs 15 for Rs 1-2 lakh
and Rs 25 for those above Rs 2 lakh. Under RTGS, you have to pay Rs 25
for Rs 2-5 lakh and Rs 50 for anything above Rs 5 lakh.
How are the two different?
NEFT operates on a deferred net settlement (DNS) basis and settles
transactions in batches. The settlement takes place with all
transactions received till a particular cut-off time. It operates in
hourly batches — there are 11 settlements from 9 am to 7 pm on weekdays
and five between 9 am and 1 pm on Saturdays. Any transaction initiated
after the designated time would have to wait till the next settlement
time. In RTGS, transactions are processed continuously, all through the
business hours. RBI’s settlement time is 9 am to 4:30 pm on weekdays and
9 am to 1:30 pm on Saturdays. Banks can function within this time frame
or change it. Here, transfers made are quick and can be helpful in
emergencies.
What if the amount does not get credited?
If the transaction fails, the beneficiary’s bank must return the amount
to your bank within two hours and the transaction must be reversed.
Also, the bank must transfer the amount to your account within 30
minutes of receiving the same. The process can work quickly for RTGS .
But, in case of NEFT the entire process could take an additional
three-four hours.
