DA Merger hope still alive

Centaral Government has deferred  the decision on DA merger of central govt employees..The government had announced a hike of 10
per cent taking it up to 90 per cent in September last year, effective from
July 1, 2013."The Union Cabinet approved the proposal to release an
additional instalment of DA and dearness relief (DR) to pensioners with
effect from January 1, 2014, in cash, but notbefore the disbursement of the
salary for the month of March 2014 at the rate of 10 per cent increase over
the existing rate of 90 per cent," said an official statement.The government
also approved the terms of reference of the 7th Pay Commission, a move
which would pave the way for merger of 50 per cent DA with basic pay. The
Commission can now suggest the merger in its interim report. The 50 per
cent DA merger with basic pay will roughly increase the gross salaries of
central government employees by around 30 per cent.
Now it is depend on 7th pay commission to suggest the da merger as interim relief and that will be possible only after general election.


The 10% DA hike may be news to the media but not for the govt.
employees, who always knew it. The employees were expecting an
announcement on DA merger, which never came. If the govt imagines
that the DA hike announcement will translate into votes, they are
sadly mistaken.


The 3rd CPC had recommended such merger when
the Cost of Living index crosses over 272 points i.e.72 points over and
above the base index adopted for the pay revision. In other words, the
recommendation of the 3rd CPC was to merge the DA when it crossed
36%. The Govt. in the National Council JCM at the time of negotiation
initially agreed to merge 60% DA and later the whole of the DA before
the 4th CPC was set up. The 5th CPC merged 98% of the DA with pay.
It is, therefore, necessary that the Govt. takes steps to merge 50% of
DA with pay for all purposes to compensate the erosion of the real
value of wages of Central Govt. Gazetted Officers and employees.
Friends we know that govt will not merge da as it was not announced in RG election rallies.

50% DA will not be merged but Govt may approve 10% DA hike on Friday

As the source Central Government  is not considering DA merger with Basic Pay of employee but only increase the DA 10%. The Union Cabinet is likely to approve hiking dearness allowance to 100 per cent from existing 90 per cent benefiting 50 lakh employees and 30 lakh pensioners in its meeting scheduled on Friday.

The Government Employee are waiting the news of DA Merger but central government  will not merge DA as it was not recommended by 6th Pay Commission.  However few website posted about the merger news which is not correct as of Now but Government may consider the DA merger issue in the next Cabinet meeting which will be held on 02 March 2014. This increase in the dearness allowance by the UPA-2 government comes ahead of the imposition of the model code of conduct by the Election Commission. Also it would be the second double digit DA hike in a row. 

The government had announced a hike of 10 per cent to 90 per cent in September last year, effective from July 1, 2013. The hike in DA would be effective from the January 1 this year. The revised retail inflation data for January would be released on February 28. An official said that the preliminary assessment suggests that DA hike will not be less than 10 per cent and would be effective from January 1 this year.

Government accepts ‘one rank, one pension’ for defence forces

The long-standing demand of ex-servicemen for ‘one-rank, one-pension’ was accepted by the government today with Finance Minister P Chidambaram making an announcement in this regard in the interim budget.
Presenting the interim budget, Chidambaram said the government would transfer Rs 500 crore to the defence pension account for implementing one rank, one pension scheme.
The decision, likely to benefit around three million defence pensioners, will come into effect from 2014-2015.
The two UPA governments, he said, had made changes in the pension rules for defence services on three occasions but some gaps remained in the ranks of ‘Sepoy’ and ‘Naik’ among non-officers, and ‘Major’ and above among officers.
“We need a young fighting force, we need young jawans and we need young officers. We also need to take care of those who served in the defence forces only for a limited number of years. The Government has therefore decided to walk the last mile and closed the gap for all retirees in all ranks,” he announced.
Last week, Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi had backed the demand and assured a delegation of ex-servicemen that he will make all efforts to ensure it is met at the earliest.
“I am on your side. I understand your concerns. You give your life for the country, I will do all that I can to see that your demands are met,” Gandhi had told a gathering of 1000-odd ex-servicemen during an interaction on February 14.
Delegations of ex-servicemen from Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh and Punjab had met Gandhi.
Ex-servicemen and families of serving defence personnel are an electorally important vote bank especially in these states.
One rank, one pension will ensure that soldiers of the same rank and the same length of service receive the same pension, irrespective of their retirement date.
Hailing the decision, Union Minister Rajiv Shukla, said, “It is a good decision. It should be appreciated. It was taken following the initiative taken by Rahul Gandhi in the matter.”
