BSF Personnel Entitled To MACP Benefits Based On Notional Service Till 60 Years: Delhi HC

The Delhi High Court ruled that BSF personnel are entitled to benefits under the Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) Scheme based on notional service until the age of 60. The court emphasized that the personnel’s notional service, irrespective of actual promotion, should be considered for determining MACP benefits. The court highlighted that such benefits are crucial for the welfare and morale of the security forces. The judgment reiterated that employees in uniformed services like the BSF are entitled to the same career progression benefits as those in other government departments, provided they meet the service criteria.
