Good news for Centre Govt employees and pensioners. Thanks to the Central Govt for approval of the composition of 7th CPC. I would rather suggest that the Commission should take into account that the prices of essential items have almost gone upto 300% higher than that of 01.01.2006 whereas the dearness allowance/relief is only increases 100%. The Govt has not taken any action to control over the price hike. In the meantime the commission finalise its report, the Govt should grant an additional dearness allowance/relief to Central Govt employees and pentioners with immediate effect. Though it not be much beneficiar but a rlief to some extent. Secondly it is learnt that the DA has reached to 100% since 01.01.2014. To cover up the inflation in price hike Govt should atleast merge 50% DA into the basic salaries from 01.01.2014 that would also be a sigh of relief. But I don’t think the Indian Govt is so mercyful. Let us know what they do?
