South Block
New Delhi.
Respected Sir,
While thanking you for the decision for
appointment of 7th Central Pay Commission, we request you to kindly appreciate
that the Dearness Allowance paid to the Central Government employees had
crossed 50% of pay as on 01.01.2011. This portion of the Dearness Allowance
needs to be merged with the Pay for all purposes as was done in the year 2004.
2. According to the figures available, the
Central Government employees will get at least 9% increase in the Dearness
Allowance w.e.f. 01/01/2014 thus the DA may be almost 100% of pay.
NF1R, therefore, requests you to kindly see
that Government takes decision for merger of 50% DA with pay for all purposes
with effect from January 1, 2011.
Yours faithfully,
sd/-
