As per Dainik Bhasker Article Govt. is ready to merge 50% DA with Basic Pay:-
38 million employees and 25 lakh pensioners electoral rarity
50 per cent DA in the basic pay is set to merge soon
Govt. exercises to attract 38 lakh workers, 25 lakh pensioners
20 thousand crore additional burden on the exchequer
That would be in the next fortnight. If it happen, extra burden would cost of Rs 20,000 crore to the exchequer.
It may be pressure of employees of Trade Union/ threatening of
indefinite strike by the central govt. employees with railway employee
or it may be trial of attraction of 2.5 carores of voters. Infact D.A. is being merged with basic salary.
The Secretary General of the AIRF Mr. Shiva Gopal Mishra who is
representing nearly 12 lakh employees says last days, that he had
correspondenced with the Prime Minister's Office and the Finance
Ministry. He also met with Secretary of expenditure in this connection.
This indicates that it will be announced just after the vote on account
of parliament. Press Secretary of National Federation of Indian
Railwaymen Mr. S.N. Malik said that the Cabinet note in this regard has
become according to PMO sourcese. There is a file lying in the PMO at
this time regarding this connection. It will be announced someday next
week when Parliament is in session.
Infact DA of Central Govt. Employees reached up to 90% at this time and
again due started with DA increment from 1st Jan. If this time there is
an increase of 11 per cent on DA; it will be 101 per cent . Malik says
that when the Fifth CPC DA had reached 72 per cent, 50 per cent DA was
merged with basic pay without any demand from staff side. This time it
is not being done. This demand of merger of 50 per cent of DA into basic
pay DA of the unions is old. In view of this, , Minister of State for
Finance Namo Narain Meena said in Parliament stated in August last year
that Sixth Pay Commission has not recommended to merge the DA with basic
pay . So the government is not doing so. However , now the situation
has changed, in the view of general election, to woo the all the public
the decisions are being taken. In this series, if DA has to be merged
with the basic pay, then the exchequer put a burden of Rs 20,000 crore
is estimated .
