ACPS Second Promotion After 24 Years | Autonomous Body Employees Entitled to Benefits If Funded Internally: Bombay HC Aurangabad Bench

Bombay High Court holds that employees of autonomous bodies like WALMI are entitled to the second Assured Career Progression Scheme (ACPS) promotion after 24 years of service, provided the funding is internal. The court quashed the State’s order for salary differential recovery and mandated arrears release within six months, reinforcing natural justice in career progression schemes.

Assured Career Progression Scheme | Delay in Salary Settlement Cannot Bar Employee from Claiming More Beneficial Upgrade Without Formal Option: HP HC

The Himachal Pradesh High Court ruled that government employees cannot be penalized for failing to submit an option form under the ACPS when the state’s own administrative delay in salary processing prevented timely exercise of the right. This upholds substantive justice in public employment, ensuring service benefits are not forfeited due to bureaucratic inertia rather than employee neglect.
