It
was learnt from the sources close to the Union Government that the proposals of
Enhancement of Retirement age of Central Government Employees from 60 to 62
years and Merger of D.A to basic pay may not be materialized now before General
elections. Accordingly, these two proposals have not been taken up for
consideration by the union Cabinet in its meeting held on friday. But there is
possibility to announce Interim Relief (I.R) before elections.
