As everyone knows the Central
Government has constituted the 7th Pay Commission and named its Chairmen
recently. The decision of the government to constitute the 7th CPC has
triggered many expectations among the central government employees. Among them
was the merger of 50% DA with basic pay as done in the 5th CPC. But the 6th CPC
did not recommended anything like that. It is understood that the employees are
eagerly awaiting for an economic relief from the soaring prices of essential
commodities. There are instances of announcing interim relief (I.R) to the
employees apart from DA by a newly constitute pay commission prior to their
implementations in the past.

VIth Pay Commission
The 6th pay commission after its
constitution and implementation did not recommended or suggest any kind of
interim relief or merging of DA with the basic pay. As of now the DA has
touched 100% and its government is unable to satisfy employees. All federation
and associations are pressing the government for the merger of 50% DA. They
strongly suggest some kind of relief to the employees As the price of essential
commodities are in the rise, the government should act now to fullfil the
expectation of the employees. The government should come up with merger 50% DA
merger or some interim relief to the employees as early as possible.
