Govt. exercises to attract 38 lakh workers, 25 lakh
pensioners
20 thousand crore additional burden on the exchequer
Govt eyes
on approximately 2 and half crore votes of
Central government employees and pensioners and their families. Govt is
preparing to merge 50 per cent dearness allowance (DA) into the basic pay to
attracted approximately 38 lakh employees and 25 lakh pensioners.
That would be in the
next fortnight. If it happen, extra burden
would cost of Rs 20,000 crore to the exchequer.
It may be pressure of employees of Trade Union/
threatening of indefinite strike by the central govt. employees with railway
employee or it may be trial of attraction of 2.5 carores of voters. Infact D.A. is being merged with
basic salary. The Secretary General of the AIRF Mr. Shiva Gopal Mishra who is
representing nearly 12 lakh employees says last days, that he had
correspondenced with the Prime Minister's Office and the Finance
Ministry. He also met with Secretary of
expenditure in this connection.
This indicates that it will be announced just after the vote
on account of parliament. Press Secretary of National Federation of Indian
Railwaymen Mr. S.N. Malik said that the Cabinet note in this regard has become
according to PMO sourcese. There is a file lying in the PMO at this time
regarding this connection. It will be announced someday next week when
Parliament is in session.
Infact DA of Central Govt. Employees reached up to 90% at
this time and again due started with DA increment from 1st Jan. If
this time there is an increase of 11 per cent on DA; it will be 101 per cent .
Malik says that when the Fifth CPC DA had reached 72 per cent, 50 per cent DA
was merged with basic pay without any demand from staff side. This time it
is not being done. This demand of merger of 50 per cent of DA into basic pay DA
of the unions is old. In view of this, , Minister of State for Finance Namo
Narain Meena said in Parliament stated in August last year that Sixth Pay
Commission has not recommended to merge the DA with basic pay . So the
government is not doing so. However , now the situation has changed, in the
view of general election, to woo the all the public the decisions are being
taken. In this series, if DA has to be merged with the basic pay, then the
exchequer put a burden of Rs 20,000 crore is estimated .
