  1. It seems, Cabinet meeting is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, 16-04-2013. Most likely DA announcement will take place on Tuesday. In my past 19 years experience, it is the first time , it happens like this delay. I never seen such a delay. One time, Fin Min is away, in the other time, PM is away of country, what is this nonsense. They know that they are leaving the country, then why not they approve before leaving India for official trips. Lakhs of CG and some other state govt employees and more number of pensioners are eagerly awaiting the announcement of DA by the Government of India. It is too delay.
    Atleast, govt should consider and announce the merging of 50% of DA with Basic and should announce the formation of 7th CPC, immediately, to avoid arrears of Pay And ALlowances.

  2. This is really an act which shows the uneven and unpredictable activity pf the government in announcing the pettiest matter which is a routine work… and ….to which government can’t ignore or deny ..

  3. I am not able to understand that for a very routine matter why everyone of cabinet is required. I do not think that earlier everybody has been present while approving for DA. I am also not able to understand any reason for such a delay except indifferent attitude of GOI on such petty issues.

  4. Centrl Govt emplys have 2 wait fr a few more days for DA.
    The PM is currently on a tour 2 Germany; cabinet meetng is most likely2b on d next week

  5. NOTE.==========================================.Zeebiz Bureau

    New Delhi: Union Cabinet is likely to approve on Tuesday a proposal to increase dearness allowance (DA) to 80 percent from existing 72 percent benefiting about 50 lakh employees and 30 lakh pensioners of the central government.

    “The Union Cabinet may consider the finance ministry proposal to increase the DA by 8 percent to 80 percent in its meeting scheduled for tomorrow”, a source said.

    The hike would be effective from January 1, 2013 and the employees and pensioners would be entitled for arrears, he said.

    The government had hiked DA to 72 percent in September last year, which had come into effect from July 1, 2012.

    “It is good that they are increasing DA. We demand that they should merge up to 50 percent DA with the basic pay as per the practice and set up the seventh pay commission at the earliest”, Secretary of Confederation of Central Government Employees, K K N Kutty said.

    As per the practice, the DA is merged with basic pay when it breaches the 50 percent cap.

    This helps employees get higher allowances as those are paid as proportion of the basic pay.

  6. i think govt is planning to merge 50% da in basic salary or pension or family pension.but why delay in 8% da from jan 2013.

  7. In view of substantial and continuous increase in price index I feel that merger of 50% DA along with sanction of additional 8% DA is fully justified.

  8. NOTE.==========================.Sixth Pay Commission recommendation on Merger of 50% Dearness Allowance and sanctioning of DA to central government employees.????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.YES OR NO.

  9. NOTE ====================================.100.Sunday, April 07, 2013
    Dearness Allowance from January 2013 – 6th CPC Recommendations on merger of 50% Dearness Allowance…

    Dearness Allowance from January 2013 – 6th CPC Recommendations on merger of 50% Dearness Allowance…

    Dearness Allowance from January 2013 – 6CPC Recommendation

    As of now nobody knows the correct reason why the government is delaying the approval of DA hike from January 2013. Actually the delay in announcing the dearness allowance helps the people speculate more about the Governments Plan about whether the 50% DA will be merged or not.

    As per the 6CPC recommendation accepted by the government, the Dearness Allowance supposed to be enhanced from 1st January of every year has to be paid with salary of month of March. The 6 CPC was very much clear about two things; first one is the formula for calculating the quantum of DA to be paid to central government employees and its frequency. Second one is on Merger of 50% Dearness allowance with Basic pay by converting it as dearness Pay

    Sixth Pay Commission recommendation on Merger of 50% Dearness Allowance and sanctioning of DA to central government employees

    It has been clearly told in 6 CPC recommendations under the Heading of Dearness Allowance, Chapter no 4.1…

    4.1.18 ……This conversion, however, is not necessary in the revised structure being recommended where increments are payable as a percentage of the pay in the pay band and grade pay thereon and provision has been made for all allowances/benefits to be revised periodically linked to the increase in the price index. The Commission is, therefore, not recommending merger of dearness allowance with basic pay at any stage.

    4.1.19 No real justification exists for revising DA once in 3 months. Accordingly, DA may continue to be sanctioned twice a year as on 1st January and 1st July payable with the salary of March and September respectively for administrative convenience with inflation neutralization being maintained at 100% at all levels.

    As it was the recommendation of 6CPC , even after the seventh day of the month of April, the quantum of DA to be increased is yet to be declared by the government is quite new for central government employees. But it is evident that ‘announcement of DA hike can be delayed, but Payment of increased Dearness Allowance cannot be denied’.
