Dearness
Allowance from January 2013 - 6CPC Recommendation
As of now nobody knows the correct
reason why the government is delaying the approval of DA hike from January
2013. Actually the delay in announcing the dearness allowance helps the people
speculate more about the Governments Plan about whether the 50% DA will be
merged or not.
As per the 6CPC recommendation accepted
by the government, the Dearness Allowance supposed to be enhanced from 1st
January of every year has to be paid with salary of month of March. The 6 CPC
was very much clear about two things; first one is the formula for calculating
the quantum of DA to be paid to central government employees and its frequency.
Second one is on Merger of 50% Dearness allowance with Basic pay by converting
it as dearness Pay
Sixth Pay Commission
recommendation on Merger of 50% Dearness Allowance and sanctioning of DA to
central government employees
It has been clearly told in 6 CPC recommendations
under the Heading of Dearness Allowance, Chapter no 4.1…
4.1.18 ……This
conversion, however, is not necessary in the revised structure being
recommended where increments are payable as a percentage of the pay in the pay
band and grade pay thereon and provision has been made for all
allowances/benefits to be revised periodically linked to the increase in the
price index. The Commission is, therefore, not
recommending merger of dearness allowance with basic pay at any stage.
4.1.19 No
real justification exists for revising DA once in 3 months. Accordingly, DA may continue to be sanctioned twice a year as on 1st
January and 1st July payable with the salary of March and September
respectively for administrative convenience with inflation
neutralization being maintained at 100% at all levels.
As it was the recommendation of 6CPC ,
even after the seventh day of the month of April, the quantum of DA to be
increased is yet to be declared by the government is quite new for central
government employees. But it is evident that ‘announcement of DA hike can be
delayed, but Payment of increased Dearness Allowance cannot be denied’.
