7% DA from July 2014 – Prompt decision is worth appreciating..!

By
igeadmin
-

The Centre has announced an additional 7% DA hike for the Central Government employees and Pensioners from July 2014.

Usually, agendas for central government employees’ DA hike are presented at the Cabinet meeting only on the third or fourth Thursdays of the month. There are times when these decisions were made during the last cabinet meeting of the season. Sometimes, these decisions are not made even during the last meeting and are taken up only during special meeting or at critical times.

On the 4th of this month, out of the blue, the Government announced a 7% DA hike. The cabinet’s announcement gives a positive conclusion to the relentless waiting of the past few weeks.

DA is calculated twice a year (from January to June, and from July to December) based on the changes in the Consumer Price Index (IW) BY 2001=100. The AICPIN numbers of the month are released by the Labour Bureau the following month.

In the month of August, the Labour Bureau sends the AICPIN data for the months of January to July, to the Finance Ministry. Based on the data, the Finance Ministry calculates the DA hike and the additional expense likely to be incurred, and presents the findings and reports towards the end of August to the Cabinet for its approval. The final decision is made in the month of September. This is the usual procedure.

Irrespective of the date of the Cabinet approval in the month of September, the DA hikes are calculated and given along with the salary for the month of September. Increase for the month of July and August are calculated and given as arrears to the employees and pensioners too.

Although 7% hike has been confirmed already, the prompt decision is worth appreciating!

The Union Cabinet gave its approval on Thursday for the release of a 7 per cent additional instalment of Dearness Allowance (DA) to Central Government employees. It also approved Dearness Relief (DR) for pensioners. Both DA and DR will become effective from July 1, 2014.

This is an increase of 7 per cent over the existing rate of 100 percent of the Basic Pay/Pension to compensate for price rise, said an official release issued on Thursday.

The increase is in accordance with an accepted formula based on the recommendations of the 6th Central Pay Commission.

The combined impact on the exchequer in the financial year 2014-2015 (for eight-months period starting July 2014 till February 2015) on account of the DA would be of the order of approximately Rs. 7,691 crore per annum and that of the DR would be Rs. 5,127 crore.

The Cabinet also approved the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between India Bangladesh for co-operation in the field of traditional systems of medicine and homoeopathy.

The signing of the proposed MoU will enhance bilateral cooperation between the two countries in the areas of traditional medicine and homoeopathy the release stated adding that this will be of immense importance to both countries considering their shared cultural heritage.

There are no additional financial implications of the MoU, however, financial resources necessary to conduct research, training courses, conferences and meetings will be met from the existing allocated budget and existing plan schemes of the Department of Ayush, the release said.

The total exports of Ayush products from India in 2012-13 was Rs.2167.57 crore. India’s exports of herbal and Ayush products in 2013-14 to Bangladesh were Rs. 31.85 crore.

The Department of Ayush as a part of its mandate to propagate the Indian systems of medicine globally has taken effective steps by entering into MoUs with the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SATCM), China (the MoU has since expired), Malaysia, Trinidad and Tobago and Hungary for cooperation in traditional medicine. MoUs are proposed to be signed with Serbia and Nepal for which the Cabinet has given its approvals. Consequently, the Ministers of Health, Government of Serbia and Government of Nepal have been invited to visit India for signing of the MoUs.
