F.No. 105/1/2004-IC
Government of India
Ministry of Finance
Department of Expenditure
New Delhi, dated the 1st March, 2004
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Merger of 50% of Dearness Allowance/Dearness Relief with basic pay/pension to Central Government employees/pensioners w.e.f. 01/04/2004.
The Fifth CPC in para 105.11 of their report had recommended that DA should be converted into Dearness Pay each time the CPI increase by 50% over the base index used by the Pay Commission.
2. This recommendation of Fifth CPC has been considered and the President is pleased to decide that, with effect from 01/04/2004, DA equal to 50% of the existing basic pay shall be merged with the basic pay and shown distinctly as Dearness Pay (DP) which would be counted for purposes like payment of allowances, transfer grant, retirement benefits, contribution to GPF, Licence fee, monthly contribution to CGHS, various advances, etc. The entitlements of LTC, TA/DA while on tour and transfer and government accommodation shall, however , continue to be governed on the basis of the basic pay alone without taking into account Dearness Pay. In case of existing pensioners, Dearness Relief equal to 50% of the present pension will, w.e.f. 01/04/2004, be merged with pension and shown distinctly as Dearness Pension. Dearness Allowance/Dearness Relief converted into Dearness Pay/Dearness Pension respectively would be deducted from the existing rate of Dearness Allowance/Dearness Relief.
3. To ensure that pensioners retiring between 01.04.2004 to 31.01.2005 do not face any loss in fixation of pension, as a special dispensation in their case, DA equal to 50% of the basic pay would be treated as basic pay for purposes of computation of pension in respect of basic pay received by them prior to 01.04.2004. Consequently, element of dearness pension will exist only for pensioners retired/retiring from Government of India up to 31.03.2004.
4. Insofar as the persons serving in the Indian Audit & Accounts Department are concerned, these orders issue after consultation with the Comptroller & Auditor General of India.URGENT ACTION TO THE HONERABLE P.M.AND FIANCE MINISTER URGENT ACTION REQUESTED

Though the central pay commission has taken full care of pensioners of central govt. employees, but as compared with the certain state govt. decisions the pensioners are benifitted in such a way that they feel in more comfortable position as compared with central govt.pensioners (though the serving condition of central govt. employees is very difficult as compared with the state govt. employees). Take the case of Punjab govt. pensioners, they get a rise in basic pension @ 5% of their basic pension at the age of 65 years and their after rise of 5% after every five years, more over they get LT C (equal to their basic pension
)after every two years unconditionally, they may perform journey or not.The medical allowance to Punjab pensioners is Rs.500/- per month where as the central govt. pensioners get Rs.300/- per month as medical allowance.
Though central govt. has sanctioned 20% rise in the pension at the age of 80 years, which is a very wise step from the point of view of taking care of pensioners by their kins, but the pensioners could hardly enjoy the benefit of such rise in their pension. In my considered opinion a rise of 5% after every five years in their pension will actually benefit them,and their wish to live long will be generated.The sanction of LTC equal to their basic pay after every two years and enhanced medical allowance will make their living easy.
Hope for a favorable response in this connection.thepriminister andfianceministerconsider.2012
