i want to see new government who support the Government employees,,no used of crying like a child before this present Government. because our Government have like a Hitler heart.
Please notify central govt,employees news to my gmail address.
Employees and pensioners should pray to God for a favourable decision while granting DA/DR from July 21.There is no one amidst govt employees/pensioners to raise their voice before this govt.
On the basis of a rough calculation, the GOI will be deducted an amount RS 1 lakh on the average from aprox. 1 crore of employees & pensioners together. This works out to be huge amount of Rs 1 lakh crores. No option was requested from the affected persions. The irony is that this amount will to an unaccountable fund, where nobody will be able to know the end use of the sum.
Thanks to a mercy by the govt. that it will not deduct any further money from the current freezed of salaries or pentions just to remind you that the govt. could have gone to any extent
This has proved once again how the BJP govt treats the govt servants and middle class population(pensioners). Let voters beware !!!
Sir
The Govt. should stop purchasing weapons etc. where most of the tax collected from the public is consumed & most of he part of purchases is commission to Ministers & high ranked burocrates, also the NPA creating companies are getting additional help from the Govt.,
what is this?
I have already donated Rs. 11,000/- voluntarily to PMCARESFUND 10 days ago. I am a Military service pensioner. In case Govt decides to deduct any portion of pension in future ,, my above donation may be considered before deduction ismade.
Is it correct that da will not be paid upto 2021 and arrear will also not paid
DA will be paid at current rates, i.e. 17% DA will be paid, but there is no hike in DA till June 2021 and arrears too.
The orders have been issued by the government 0n 13.3.2020 granting additional dearness allowance, Had that order been rescinded ? The latest order is silent on this point
DA freeze show theinefficiency of the govt. In dealing financial crissis too bad governance
