Central Govt Employee Can't Take Benefits Of Both MACPS & Time-Bound Promotion : Supreme Court Issues Directions On Recoveries

The Supreme Court ruled that central government employees cannot take benefits from both the Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACPS) and time-bound promotions. The case concerned an employee who sought benefits under both schemes simultaneously. The court clarified that the schemes are mutually exclusive, and employees can only avail the benefits of one. Additionally, the court directed the government to recover any excess benefits claimed by employees under both schemes. This ruling clarifies the application of MACPS and time-bound promotions and aims to prevent double benefits. It is important for government employees and the administration to ensure compliance with the court’s directions, offering clarity on entitlements and benefits.
