There was huge
expectation among all the central government employees from the Cabinet Meeting
held last week; the central Government would announce its decision on the most
expected matters like Merger of DearnessAllowance and Increasing Retirement
Age to 62.
Electronic and Print Media also presumed that the decision on 50% DA
merger and Retirement age 62 would be taken in the said cabinet meeting. But
central government has said nothing against about this matter after the
Meeting.
So far no one
from government side come forward to say about their stand on these issues. So
these things keep the central government employees hope alive. It is expected
as everybody hope the central government will announce some important decisions
in respect of central government employees this week Recently some
blogs have posted some interesting things about merger of dearness Allowance
and Retirement age 62.
Our website has
already posted two articles about Merger of 50% Dearness Allowance and
Increasing Retirement Age to 62 on 15-1-2014 and 17-2-2014 respectively.
Merger of 50
percent DA may soon be considered by Central Government –Sources –on 15-1-2014
Proposal for
raising Retirement Age to 62 waits for Cabinet Nod - on 17-2-2014
One of the blog
of Central Government Employees News ‘CGEN.In’ forecasted about Merger of
Dearness Allowance
If the 50% DA is
merged with Basic Pay with effect from 1.1.2011, The benefit will be as
fallows..
For Example, a
govt servant was getting Rs.10000 as basic pay as on 1.1.2011, after merging of
50% dearness allowance the calculation
clearly shows the increase in salary was only 50 rupees per month…
Basic Pay Dearness allowance 51% Total Basic Pay Dearness Pay Remaining
percentage of DA 1% Total Difference
10,000 5100 15100 10000 5000 150 15100 50
The HRA is not
included in this calculation, since the amount of HRA will be paid as per the
entitlement of Government Servants.
The blog
‘paycommissionupdate.blogspot.in’ presumed that the announcement on Merger of
Dearness Allowance and Retirement age will be expected by this week..
This week may
bring cheer to central employees and pensioners
Central Govt.
employees and pensioners will have some reasons to celebrate this week. The
union cabinet is likely to clear some long awaited demands for its staff in the
next meeting to be held later this week .The F.M., currently on foreign tour,
likely to return India on 26th February and after which cabinet meeting is
likely to take place.
According to
information available with us, merger of 50% D.A., an additional hike of 10%
D.A. from 01.01.2014, granting of Interim Relief and enhancing retirement age
to 62 years are under the consideration of Govt. and some of these are to be
approved in the next cabinet meeting.
As the
notification of loksabha poll may be issued in the first week of March, this
would be the last cabinet meeting before the code of conduct comes into force.
So the central employees and pensioners may definitely hope for some bonanza to be announced this week.
