Ahead of the festival season, the government on Thursday announced a 7 per cent hike in the dearness allowance of its employees which will give them some relief from near double digit inflation.
Besides the five million central government employees, about four million pensioners will stand to benefit from the decision, taken by the Union Cabinet.
However, employees, especially in the junior scales, do not seem to be happy with the quantum of pay hike.
The pay hike would be applicable from July 1. The DA for the government employees would increase from 51 per cent of the basic salary to 58 per cent.
"The inflation index, which is the basis of calculating the DA, is not actually reflecting the cost of living and erosion in employees remuneration due to price rise,"
Secretary General of the Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers, K K N Kutty said.
The general inflation for August was at near one-year high of 9.78 per cent. The hike in DA and DR would cost the exchequer annually Rs 7,229 crore (Rs 72.29 billion), while for the remaining period of the current fiscal the implication would be Rs 4,819 crore (Rs 48.19 billion), Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni said.
The Union Cabinet today approved release of additional instalment of Dearness Allowance to Central Government employees and Dearness Relief to pensioners as due from 01.07.2011 at the rate of 7 per cent over the existing rate of 51 per cent.
The total financial implications on account of both Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief would be Rs.7228.76 crore per annum and Rs.4819.22 crore in the current financial year.
Finally, we have got six month AICPIN value to calculate Dearness allowance for July 2011. Based on the calculation all central government employees going to get 7% increase in Dearness allowance from July 2011 onwards. Already we are in 51 % and now we are going to get seven percentage so totally 58 percentage dearness allowance from July 2011 onwards, however government needs to release the government order and confirm the exact value of increase, until then we have to wait for confirmatio

DA Season Started, most of the central government employees started searching in search engines with keyword “Expected Dearness allowance from July 2011”. Already we know DA Percentage Calculation is based on AICPIN Value, currently Ministry of Labour & Employment Department released only four month AICPIN value, so we need another two month AICPIN value to get the exact DA percentage.
The Arunachal Pradesh government has decided to release an additional 6 per cent Dearness Allowance (DA) for its employees and pensioners with effect from January this year."Keeping in view the rising costs of daily living and the consequent hardships experienced by the employees, the government has decided to increase the DA to 51 per cent from the existing 45 per cent which, will cost the state exchequer a total of Rs 84.10 crore," state Finance Minister Kalikho Pul said in a statement today.While holding that the financial position of the state can improve only when all categories of government officers and officials sustain efforts in enhancing the revenue, howsoever negligible the amount may be, he said that no government can manage the finances effectively only by spending."Rather we have to steadily achieve self-reliance in finance by increasing our own revenue," Pul pointed out.Pul also informed that the government is considering sorting out stipend problems of the students by creating a separate head of expenditure and separate allocation so that monthly payment of stipends can be made to ensure smooth procurement of ration."Numerous poor students who are unable to pay their hostel dues will stand benefited under the new system and education as a whole will get boost in the state," he said.The government is also actively considering providing stipends to students of class one to five of upgraded fourth standard to upper primary schools who are deprived of the facility after upgrading.
