DA from July 2016 in 7th pay Commission is 2% or 3% is yet to be confirmed

DA from July 2016 in 7th pay Commission is 2% or 3% is yet to be confirmed

It seems that the DA from July 2016 in 7th Pay Commission is not yet finalized by Central Government. There is confusion persists on the rate of Dearness Allowance to be paid from 1st July 2016 in revised Pay . The AICPIN average for the year 2015 to be taken as Base Index for calculation of DA in 7th CPC as the DA has been neutralized to arrive the revised Pay.

The actual AICPIN Average for 2015 is 261.33. As per this AICPIN average, the DA to be paid at the rate of 2% from July 2016 in 7th CPC . But the NCJCM has contended that it should be paid at the rate of 3%.

The NCJCM staff side said that as per the practice of fraction is being ignored, 0.75 is ignored from actual DA 125.75 as on 1st January 2016. Since the 125% DA was merged to revise the 7th CPC pay, Accordingly, the AICPIN average of 2015 has to be revised to 260.46 from 261.33 to arrive the exact rate of DA of 125% .

It is obvious that the NCJCM Staff Sides claim has sufficient merits to be considered favorably by the Government. In that case, the DA to be paid from July 2016 will be 3%.

The NCJCM Staff Side should be appreciated for this timely intervention and effort.

The central Government need to take decision in this regard soon, as it has been passed third week of September. Usually the announcement of DA for July every year will be made in the first or second week of September.

(AN ALL INDIA FEDERATION OF DEFENCE WORKERS)

(AN INDUSTRIAL OF DEFENCE GOVT IF INDIA)

REF: BPMS I MOF / DA 190 (8/2/L)

Dated: 01.04.2015

To,

The Finance Minister, Govt of India,

New Delhi.

Subject: Payment of Dearness Allowance w.e.f. 01.01.2015

Hon’ble Sir,

With due regards, it is submitted that on the basis of Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers, it has been the previous practice of the Finance Ministry that it declares the Dearness Allowance upto the last week of March payable to Central Government employees with effect from 01st January of the year.

But this year the Ministry of Finance has not yet announced the rate of dearness allowance payable from 01.01.2015. This is not only creating financial hardships but creating discontentment amongst the employees also

Therefore, you are requested to take appropriate action so that all the Central Government employees may get their legitimate right of current rate of DA without further delay.

Thanking you,

Sincerely yours,

Sd/-

Expected Dearness allowance from July 2013.

   It is now confirmed that the rate of Dearness Allowance from July 2013 will be increased by 10% according to the AICPIN average for the past twelve months starting from July 2012 to June 2013.The Consumer Price Index Number for the month of June 2013 is released on 31st July 2013 by Labour Bureau, Ministry of Labour and Employment  in its Official site.

   All the central government employees will not be interested to know about the CPI numbers if it has no role in the calculation to obtain the rate of dearness allowance paid to central government employees. Since the dearness allowance is paid to central government employees to compensate the price rise, the AICPI numbers is the only factor to measure the increase in the prices of essential commodities. So the AICPIN for Industrial Workers is obviously inevitable part of the formula prescribed for calculating the rate of dearness allowance to be paid to central government employees.

   It is not only for central government employees, but all the state government employees have also been paid the same rate of dearness allowance. Once it is declared by the central government, all the state governments have no other go than to fallow it. That is why the AICPIN for Industrial workers has been watched keenly by all the central Government Employees and state government employees every month.

CONFEDERATION CALLS FOR A STRONG PROTEST AGAINST THE INORDINATE DELAY IN GRANTING 8% DA TO CG EMPLOYEES BY GOVERNMENT.

No. Conf/27 /2013 - Dated 17th April 2013

Comrades,
 
DELAY IN GRANT OF DA - HOLD PROTEST DEMONSTRATION ON 23RD APRIL 2013

             Since the implementation of the recommendations of the 4th central pay commission in 1986, the Dearness Allowance (DA) is paid in two six-monthly installments – in March and September of every year. The practice followed since then is that the order granting DA to government employees is issued in March and September itself.
 
            This time the practice in force since 1986 is violated. Our enquiries with concerned Ministries informed us that the file is already moved for Cabinet approval. But it is nearly a month now. The cabinet has found no time to take a decision on this.
 
            This naturally is quiet disturbing, especially in the time of galloping price line. The employees have, in the past, fought bitterly for grant of DA and the 3rd CPC gave a definite formula for DA in the aftermath of the one day strike on 19th September 1968. We cannot allow the hard won DA to be tampered with.

Dearness allowance from Jan 2013, will be declared only after the Finance Minister arrival..!

   It is really surprising that, even after the month prescribed by 6CPC to announce the Dearness Allowance passed, the central government yet to decide the rate of dearness allowance to be paid to central government employees from January 2013. Almost all the central government employees news websites have written more than enough about the rate and timing of announcing the Dearness allowance payable to central government employees with effect from 1st January 2013.

   On 2nd April 2013, Some Established News websites informed that the 8% dearness allowance likely to be approved by cabinet committee today ie on April 02, 2013. But at the end of the cabinet meeting it had been informed that decision on hiking dearness allowance deferred as the Finance Minister was not present. At that time the Finance Minister P Chidambaram was on an official visit to Japan. According to this claim, it is now very much clear that if FM is not present in the Cabinet committee meeting , the fate of DA will not be decided.

Expected Dearness Allowance from January 2013 vs AICPIN-IW

   The rate of dearness allowance payable to central government employees might be enhanced from 72% to 80% with effect from January 2013

   All India Consumer Price Index Number for Industrial Workers is the only Index watched keenly by each and every Central Government Employees now. Because the rate of Dearness allowance granted twice in a year for cg employees is determined by this Index only. It is irony that no one is happy to see the hike in prices of essential commodity, but all the government servants are eagerly awaiting to know how much the rate of Dearness allowance will be increased at the end of every 12 months from the month of January and July. The interesting thing to be noted in dearness allowance vs AICPIN_IW is that the AICPIN-IW reflects the increase in the prices of basket of essential commodities, whereas, the rate of dearness allowance reflects the increase or decrease in AICPIN-IW. It is quite obvious that the AICPIN – IW is always in the trend of increasing mode due to the price rise, so as the rate of dearness allowance is also increasing twice in a year.
