The objective of these rules is to provide two categories of assured career progression schemes for the government servants of Haryana –the first category of scheme is cadre-specific Assured career progression schemes for some cadres/posts prescribing time scales.
The second category of scheme is primarily to remove stagnation in service, in the form of a general assured career progression scheme. The second category scheme seeks to ensure that all government servants, whose cadres are not covered by any cadre-specific assured career progression scheme, get at least three financial upgradations, including financial upgradation, availed by such Government servants as a consequence of functional promotion during his entire career. It also seeks to ensure that no government servant stagnates without any financial upgradation for more than ten years unless he has already availed three financial upgradations in his career.
These rules shall apply to persons appointed to civil services and posts of group ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’ and ‘D’ in connection with the affairs of the Government of Haryana and to those who are under the administrative control of the Government of Haryana and whose pay is debitable to the Consolidated Fund of the State of Haryana.
These rules shall not apply to officers of judiciary working in connection with the affairs of Haryana State; persons not in whole time employment; persons paid out of contingencies; persons paid otherwise than on monthly basis, including those paid on a piece-rate basis or on the basis of daily wages or on consolidated contractual payment; any other class or category of persons whom the Government may by order, specifically exclude from the operation of all or any of the provisions contained in these rules.
"First assured career progression pay band and grade pay under general ACP scheme” means the first financial upgradation in terms of increased grade pay in the same pay band for all Government servants covered under the general ACP scheme.
"Second assured career progression pay band and grade pay under general ACP” means second financial upgradation in the form of increasing grade pay in the same pay band for all govt. servants who are covered in the general assured career progression scheme. However, in case of an employee holding a post after promotion, the second ACP pay band and grade pay will be the pay band of the promotional post and the next available grade pay with reference to his existing grade pay.
"Third assured career progression pay band and grade pay under general ACP” means third financial upgradation in the form of increasing grade pay in the same pay band for all Govt. servants who are covered in the general assured career progression scheme. However, in case of an employee holding a post after promotion, the second ACP pay band and grade pay will be the pay band of the promotional post and the next available grade pay with reference to his existing grade pay.
Cadre specific assured progression scheme
The ACP pay band and grade pay as time scales shall be admissible to all Government servants who become members of such cadres by way of direct recruitment or promotion.
Eligibility for grant of cadre specific ACP pay band and grade pay
For the grant of cadre specific ACP pay band and grade pay the eligibility conditions will be the same as mentioned in Part I of Schedule I of these rules, apart from the general conditions of eligibility.
General Assured Career Progression scheme
Financial upgradation in the form of the first, the second and the third ACP pay band and grade pay will be admissible to all Government servants covered under this scheme with reference to their pre revised functional pay scale and the corresponding revised pay structure. However, in case of an employee holding a post after promotion, the entitled ACP pay band and grade pay will be the pay band of the promotional post and the next available grade pay with reference to his existing grade pay.
Eligibility for Grant of ACP grade Pay under the general ACP scheme
Every Government servant covered under the general ACP scheme shall, for the purposes of drawal of pay, be eligible for the first ACP grade pay if he has completed 10 years of regular satisfactory service and has not got any financial upgradation in these ten years with reference to the functional pay structure of the post to which he was recruited as a direct entrant. Financial upgradation in this context includes functional promotion in the hierarchy or further revision/ modification of the pay structure for the same post after 1.1.2006.
Every Government servant covered under the general ACP scheme shall, for the purposes of drawal of pay, be eligible for the second ACP grade pay if he has completed 20 years of regular satisfactory service and has not got any financial upgradation in the last ten years. Financial upgradation in this context includes functional promotion in the hierarchy or further revision/ modification of the pay structure for the same post after 1.1.2006.
Every Government servant covered under the general ACP scheme shall, for the purposes of drawal of pay, be eligible for the third ACP grade pay if he has completed 30 years of regular satisfactory service and has not got any financial upgradation in the last ten years and has not got more than two financial upgradation so far. Financial upgradation in this context includes functional promotion in the hierarchy or further revision/ modification of the pay structure for the same post after 1.1.2006.
In case of a Government servant who gets promoted, he will be considered for the next ACP grade pay after he completes 10 years of regular satisfactory service in the promotional post without any financial upgradation and will be entitled to the next ACP grade pay with reference to the grade pay of the promotional post he holds. A Government servant shall not be entitled to avail ACP upgradation if, he has already availed of three financial upgradation of any kind in his career.
For availing benefit of ACP, A Government servant will have to fulfill some general conditions as well. After completing the respective prescribed period for eligibility for the grant of ACP pay structure the Government servant should be fit to be promoted to the next higher post in the functional hierarchy in his cadre, but could not be functionally promoted due to lack of vacancy in the promotional post in the hierarchy to which he is eligible to be promoted. If such promotion involved passing of any departmental test or other test etc., such condition should also be fulfilled by such Government servant.
Responsibility to be discharged
On placement in the ACP pay structure, the Government servant shall continue to hold operational duties of his previous post held by him and will continue to hold the previous designation till such time as he is actually promoted to the higher post on the occurrence of a vacancy.
Consequences of ACP pay structure

The other entitlements including the entitlement generally dependent on the status of the employee shall continue to be determined with reference to his post on which he is working in the substantive capacity or to the functional pay structure of the post against which he was working substantively, before being granted the ACP pay structure.
Fixation of initial pay in the revised ACP pay structure
For employees covered under cadre specific ACP scheme, the pay in the ACP pay band/ pay structure will be determined by multiplying the existing basic pay as on 1.1.2006 by a factor of 1.86 and rounding off the resultant figure to the next multiple of 10. If the minimum of the revised ACP pay band/ pay structure is more than the amount arrived at as per (i) above, the pay shall be fixed at the minimum of the revised ACP pay band/ pay structure and grade.
For employees covered under general ACP scheme, the pay shall be fixed in the functional pay band of the post held by them by multiplying the existing basic pay as on 1.1.2006 by a factor of 1.86 and rounding the resultant figure to the next multiple of 10. The grade pay corresponding to the existing ACP pay scale will be payable in addition. If the minimum of the revised ACP pay band/ pay structure is more than the amount arrived at as per (i) above, the pay shall be fixed at the minimum of the revised ACP pay band/ pay structure and grade pay.
Rate of increment in the revised ACP pay structure
The rate of increment in the revised ACP pay structure will be 3% of the sum of the pay band and grade pay applicable, which will be rounded off to the next multiple of 10. The amount of increment will be added to the existing pay in the pay band.
Date of next increment in the revised pay structure
There will be a uniform date of annual increment, viz. 1st July of every year. Employees completing 6 months and above in the revised ACP pay structure as on 1st of July will be eligible to be granted the increment.
