Doctors can rejoice but not Officers of Armed Forces Medical Services
Many readers may not know, a new career progression system known as the Dynamic Assured Career Progression Scheme (DACP) has already been implemented for all Medical / Dental Doctors appointed under the Central Govt.
Under this scheme, following shall be the career progression structure for General Duty Doctors appointed under any Ministry / Department of the Central Govt :
On appointment : Pay Band-3 (Rs 15600-39100) with Grade Pay of Rs 5400 (equal to Lieutenant after the 6th CPC)
After 4 years of total service: Pay Band-3 with Grade Pay of Rs 6600 (equal to Major after the 6th CPC)
After 9 years of total service: Pay Band-3 with Grade Pay of Rs 7600 (equal to Lt Col after the 6th CPC)
After 13 years of total service: Pay Band-4 (Rs 37400-67000) with Grade Pay of Rs 8700 (equal to a full Colonel after 6th CPC)
After 20 years of total service: Pay Band-4 with Grade Pay of Rs 10000 (equal to Maj Gen after 6th CPC)
The following (believe your eyes– this is no joke) shall be the career progression for specialists under any Ministry/ Department of the Central Govt :
On appointment: Pay Band-3 with Grade Pay of Rs 6600 (equal to Major after the 6th CPC)
After 2 years of total service: Pay Band-3 with Grade Pay of Rs 7600 (equal to Lt Col after the 6th CPC)
After 6 years of total service: Pay Band-4 with Grade Pay of Rs 8700 (equal to full Col after the 6th CPC)
After 13 years of total service: Pay Band-4 with Grade Pay of Rs 10000 (equal to Maj Gen after 6th CPC)
While this has already been implemented for all Ministries and Departments of the Central Govt, instructions regarding Army Medical Corps and Army Dental Corps have not yet been issued. There is no reason why this should not be implemented on a non-functional basis (pay progression without rank progression) in the AMC/ ADC too since the DACP Govt of India letter in Para 1 and Para 3 clearly states that it shall be extended to all Medical and Dental Doctors under the Central Govt not just in organised services but also including isolated posts. It is hoped that the office of DG AFMS would have taken note by now.
