Centre Notifies Hike In Dearness Allowance To 125 % For Central Government Employees

Centre notifies hike in dearness allowance to 125 % for Central Government Employees

Centre on Thursday notified its decision to raise dearness allowance (DA) to 125 per cent from 119 per cent, benefiting its 48 lakh central government employees and 52 lakh pensioners.

The union cabinet had decided on March 23, to release an additional instalment of DA and dearness relief (DR) to pensioners with effect from 1 January 2016. Thus, the central government employees as well as pensioners are entitled for DA/DR at the rate of 125% of the basic with effect from 1 January 2016.

“…the President is pleased to decide that DA payable to central government employees shall be enhanced from existing rate of 119% to 125% with effect from 1 January 2016,” a finance ministry’s office order said.

According to the today’s Office Memorandum No.1/1/2016-E-II (B), the additional installment of DA payable under this order shall be paid in cash to all central government employees.

In regard to armed forces personnel and railway employees, separate orders will be issued by the ministry of defence and ministry of railways, it said.

The government has estimated that the combined impact on exchequer on account of both DA and DR would be Rs 14,724.74 crore per annum.

The burden on exchequer would be Rs 6,795.5 core towards central government employees and Rs 7,929.24 crore towards pensioners during 2016-17.

The Centre revised DA twice in a year on the basis of one year average of retail inflation for industrial workers as per the accepted formula.

Earlier in September last year, DA was increased to 119 percent from 113 percent which was effective from July 1, 2015.

In April last year, the government had hiked DA by 6 percentage points to 113 percent of their basic pay with effect from January 1, 2015.

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

However, the central government is going to start the 7th Pay Commission award in July, which will be effective from January 2016.

7th Pay commission: From Cabinet approval to basic pay, what govt staff need to know about increment

There is good news in the offing for Central Government employees as Seventh Pay Commission will be implemented soon.

Reportedly within two to three months all the required things will be done so that increment will be handed over to government staff. Here are all the latest developments about the pay commission Final implementation Government will implement Pay commission most likely in July.

Central Government employees will be paid six months arrears along with final increment. Notification for salary increment will be issued after State Assembly elections.

Most likely it will be done in May. Union Cabinet may approve recommendations of the Pay Commission in the month of June.

Confusion over minimum basic salary Government is contemplating to give around 19 percent raise on the existing  minimum basic salary.

Reports say that Empowered Committee of Secretaries will suggest minimum pay Rs 20,000 in place of Rs 18,000 which was proposed earlier.

Central government employees who are not happy with present proposal want minimum pay Rs 26,000 Army officers Vs civilian counterparts Army Officers are not happy with the present recommendations of Pay Commission and have aired their grievances many times to Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar Defence forces have this feeling that if pay commission will be implemented in present form then it will position them much below their civilian counterparts in terms of salaries, facilities and status One of the main grudge that the armed forces have is with regard to risk-hardship matrix.

  These officers say that a soldier posted in Siachen Glacier, which has the highest degree of both risk and hardship, gets an allowance of Rs 31,500 per month. In contrast, a civilian bureaucrat from the All India Services draws 30 per cent of his salary as "hardship allowance" when posted anywhere outside the comfort zone.

Under the new scale, a senior IAS official posted in a city in northeast will draw much more as "hardship allowance", compared to the Rs 31,500 per month drawn by military officers in Siachen. Government assured Army men Recently Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said that concerns of Armed forces will be addressed In an interview, he said, "The concerns raised by the armed forces would be taken up by the commission".

He also gave hint that the proposed recommendations of 7th Pay Commission could be revised as Government has not yet taken final decision over the same Centre won't cut existing facilities  Sources say that Government won't be making any changes in the existing advances and facilities, enjoyed by Central government employees.

Pay commission had suggested abolition of many privileges and facilities including risk allowance, small family allowance, festival advance and motor cycle advance etc in its recommendations. Govt ordered to give maximum benefits to staff Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently had ordered officials to speed up review process so that it could be implemented soon.

Modi asked Committee of Secretaries to provide maximum benefits to central staff. Cabinet Secretary P K Sinha headed empowered committee which was appointed to overview whole process was told to accept pay commission's recommendations without diluting the same.
