WHAT IS ACP I & II ?

WHAT ARE THIS ASSURED CAREER PROGRESSION SCHEME ?

IS THERE ANY BENEFIT TO PRE 01.01.06 DEFENCE PENSIONERS ?

The Ministry Of Defence while issuing orders for implementing the recommendations of the Cabinet Secretary’s Committee (MOD letter No.PC10(1)/2009-D (Pen/Pol), Government of India, Ministry of Defence, Department of Ex-servicemen Welfare, New Delhi dt.08.03.2010) to revise the pension in respect of PBOR discharged prior to 01.01.2006 had referred upgraded pay scales and corresponding increase in pension under the ACP Scheme.

Para 3.4 of the above MOD letter refers this ACP Scheme.  Whereas the MOD had not clarified as to what is this ACP? And what is Financial Up gradation I and II? And who are all benefited by this scheme?

Neither the pension paying banks nor the Defence pensioners know any thing about the ACP.  The MOD must clarify the position immediately.

We request the MOD to kindly clarify the ACP Scheme and issue instructions to all the Banks in this regard.

As it is the pension paying banks are finding very difficult to pay the normal pension, in the circumstances, the new classifications like ACP and financial up gradation must be clearly explained to the Banks.
