Expected DA from January 2019 – 3% ?

All India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers – CPI(IW) for November 2018 remained stationary at 302, based on the DA Calculation formula the DA as on November 2018 is 12.31%.

expected_da

AICPIN for December 2018 is expected on 31st January 2019, even if the AICPIN increase or reduce by 5 points, the DA for the January 2019 will remain at 12%, which means increase of 3% DA is confirmed.

In case AICPIN for the month of December 2018 increase by 6 points i.e 308, then the DA will be 13.01%, so chances to get 4% increase in DA from Jan 2019. but very less chance to get this increase in Dec 2018.

However as per the Index value 3 percent DA hike is confirmed, but we have to wait for the Dec 2018 AICPIN data to finalize.

Maharashtra Government implemented 7th Pay Commission from 1st Jan 2019

In a New Year bonanza, Maharashtra government has implemented the 7th Pay Commission’s recommendations for all government employees from January 1.

Eyeing 2019 Lok Sabha and election state elections, the Devendra Fadnavis-led government today cleared the decision to hike the salaries and related allowances. The decision is likely to benefit nearly 20 lakh government employees in the state, including those working in Zilla Parishads (ZPs), aided-schools and also pensioners.. This will put an additional burden of Rs 21,000 crore on the state exchequer.

According to estimates, Class IV employees will get a hike of around Rs 4,000-Rs 5,000, Class III staffers will get Rs 5,000-Rs 8,000 more, while the Class II grade and Class I officers will get an increase between Rs 9,000-Rs 14,000.

The government has decided to implement the 7th pay commission retrospectively from January 1, 2016. The employees will get the hiked salaries in the February pay and the arrears of the last three years will be deposited in the provident fund accounts in five installments.

The employees will also get the outstandings of dearness allowance (DA) for the past 14 months.
