Decision in the right time –will avoid more funds to allocate as arrears!
At last, the most eagerly awaited
announcement of additional dearness allowance has been declared by the cabinet,
due from January 2013 to Central Government employees and Pensioners.
In general the announcement of
dearness allowance has been made in the month of March every year. But this
year this has been declared in the month of April. Though it was announced after
some delay, there is no any loss, as the dearness allowance hike has to be paid
with effect from 01-01-2013.
Before this announcement, there was a
rumour that 50% dearness allowance will be merged with basic pay or otherwise
dearness allowance will not be hiked, but the cabinet committeedecision cleared
these doubts.
Employees and Pensioners will get one more month arrear from
January to April. Governmenthas to allocate more funds as arrear due to delay.
If the decisions concluded in the
right time, there will be no chance to allocate more fund for thepayment of
arrears and also prevent practical problems to accounting staff.
Even the National anomaly committee,
after six years it was formed, has not solved all theproblems raised due to the
implementation of 6 CPC.
After the implementation of 6CPC in
2008 with effect from 01.01.2006 , arrears had to be paid to Central Government
servants. To avoid the additional financial burden, the Central Government
decided to pay the arrears’ in two installments in 2008 and 2009. For
this,government had to allocate more fund from budget. It can be avoided by
early constitution of 7thpay commission.
So, to find the solution to all
including disbursing authorities, setting up of 7th Central Pay Commission at
early stage to implement in the right time, the same is demanding by the
central trade unions and associations.
Every decision in the right time –will avoid more funds to
allocate as arrears!
