Dearness Allowance hiked by 2 per cent for central government employees, pensioners

The Cabinet on Thursday approved the 2 per cent hike in Dearness Allowance (DA) for Central Government employees and pensioners, effective from July 1, 2016. The proposal to hike the DA was granted during the Cabinet meeting today afternoon at the Prime Minister’s Office. The announcement, which comes ahead of Diwali, is set to bring cheer to around 50 lakh central government employees and 58 lakh pensioners in the country.

Dearness allowance is provided to employees and pensioners to minimise the impact of price rise on their earnings. Earlier this year, the government hiked dearness allowance by 6% to 125 % of the basic pay. It was later merged into the basic pay, based on the recommendation of the 7th Pay Commission Panel.

  1. Central govt serving persons are 50 lakhs and pensioners also equally 50 lakhs are not happy with the act and behavier of this govt .the act of present govt is also give effect to various state govt servants too. If govt servants are not happy and govt making move of happiness to self interested capitalist will cause anguish all the govt servants may cost in lose of forming next govt by present incumbent in govt.

  2. Its now cleat that the grants of Research Institutes are going to be clipped step by step. Non-extension of 7CPC, DA and Bonus benefits is the first step. Next step will be to ask these bodies to arrange their salary expenditure from their own income.

  3. Army pensioners pre-2016 are still awaiting orders on revision of their pension as per 7 th CPC multiplication by 2.57. Nothing for them to cheer on DA increase.

  4. Still Rajasthan government not announced 7th CPC; hence employees Rajasthan government & Autonomous bodies will deserved DA from 6th CPC calculation and that comes to approx. 6-7 % , hope respected CM will take care of all this matter and announce 6-7% DA for Rajasthan government

  5. All THE CENTRAL MINISTERS INCLUDING PM ARE UNDERTAKING FOREIGN TRIPS SPENDING BILLIONS OF TAX PAYERS MONEY. THIS GOVT.IS NOT INTERESTED IN THE WELFARE OF ITS OWN SERVANTS AND DENYING 7TH CPC FOR CENTRAL AUTONOMOUS BODIES EMPLOYEES AND PENSIONERS. THIS GOVT.IS DISCRIMINATING BET.CENTRAL GOVT.EMPLOYEES AND AUTONOMOUS BODIES EMPLOYEES.. THIS IS HIGHLY REGRETTABLE. GOVT.SERVANTS DEFINITELY REPLY.
