Government to increase DA by 7%
Govt to increase dearness allowance to 107 p.c
The Government is likely to approve a hike in dearness allowance (DA)
to 107 per cent from the existing 100 per cent, benefiting around 30
lakh Centre’s employees and its 50 lakh pensioners including dependents.
“The average rate of retail inflation for industrial workers from
July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 works out to be 7.25 per cent. Thus the
Central government will hike dearness allowance for it employees by 7
per cent,” an official said.
He said the Finance Ministry will now put a Cabinet proposal for
approval of 7 per cent DA hike from July 1 this year as the revised
Consumer Price Index-Industrial Workers data for June was released by
Labour Ministry on Saturday.
With increase in DA, the pensioners will also gain as the benefit
provided to them as dearness relief will be hiked to 107 per cent of
basic pay.
The previous UPA government had increased DA to 100 per cent from 90
per cent with effect from January 1, 2014, on February 28 on the basis
of agreed formula for revision of the allowance.
However, the central government employees’ union is not very enthused
by the 7 per cent hike in the dearness allowance as their long pending
demand of merger of DA with basic pay has not been given heed by 7th Pay
Commission and the government.
“The erosion of value of wages is unbearable at 50 per cent dearness
allowance. Now it will be 107 per cent. It is high time to merge DA with
basic pay to provide relief to employees,” Confederation of Central
Government Employees’ President KKN Kutty told PTI.
“We had summited our memorandum in this regard to 7th Pay Commission.
They forwarded it to Central Government. We have apprised about the
issue to the newly elected NDA government.
But no decision has been taken so far,” he said.
With merger of DA with basic pay, the salary and allowances paid in
proportion of basic pay are increased. As per earlier practise DA was
merged with basic pay once it breached 50 per cent mark. But the 6th Pay
Commission has disallowed that.
