50% DA MERGE OR INTERIM
RELIEF FOR CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES:
As everyone knows the Central Government
has constituted the 7th Pay Commission and named its Chairmen recently. The
decision of the government to constitute the 7th CPC has triggered many
expectations among the central government employees. Among them was the merger
of 50% DA with basic pay as done in the 5th CPC. But the 6th CPC did not
recommended anything like that. It is understood that the employees are eagerly
awaiting for an economic relief from the soaring prices of essential
commodities. There are instances of announcing interim relief (I.R) to the
employees apart from DA by a newly constitute pay commission prior to their
implementations in the past.
Let us look into some of them

strongly suggest some kind of relief to the employees As the price of essential
commodities are in the rise, the government should act now to fullfil the
expectation of the employees. The government should come up with merger 50% DA
merger or some interim relief to the employees as early as possible.
