Sub: Merger of 50% DA with Pay and grant of Interim
Relief.
NFIR has been writing to the Government of India
(including Prime Minister, Finance Minister etc) for merger of 50% DA with pay
through its letters dated 10/01/2013, 05/08/2013, 27/09/2013. Also in its 27th
National Convention held at Visakhapatnam from 10th to 12th December,
2013, the Federation had passed a resolution demanding merger of 50% DA with
Pay and grant of interim relief to employees of Central Government including
Railway employees.
NFIR feels happy to convey that the Central Government
has conceded the demand of the employees raised by the Federation.
Union Cabinet is likely to consider the issues to day for
taking final decision. Federation will advise decision when taken by the
Government. Federation expects that there may be Good News for all Central
Government employees very soon.
Yours
faithfully,

AIRF Demanding Merger of 100% Dearness Allowance with
Basic Pay through his Press Release:-
PRESS
RELEASE
New Delhi: February 21, 2014 - All India Railwaymen’s
Federation(AIRF) has addressed the issue of merger of 100% Dearness Allowance
with Basic Pay for all purposes w.e.f. 01.01.2014 to Hon’ble Prime Minister of
India and the Finance Minister, Government of India, as Dearness Allowance will
cross 100%. Unfortunately, there is no heed to this issue despite agitations at
length over the Indian Railways by the AIRF.
It
is also unfortunate that due 10% Dearness Allowance w.e.f. 1st January, 2014
has still not been announced by the Government of India.
AIRF earnestly requests the Government of India to
immediately announce Dearness Allowance w.e.f. 1st January, 2014 all along with
merger of 100% Dearness Allowance with Basic Pay.

General Secretary

Central Government employees may get 50% DA merger - BSNL Employees Union
Central Government employees may get 50% DA merger - BSNL Employees Union
The Central Government has already formed the 7th Pay
Commission for it's employees. The Commission will recommend wage revision for
the 50 lakh Central Government employees, as well as pension revision for the
30 lakh pensioners. As per media reports, the Government may merge 50% DA with
the basic pay, for which the unions are hard pressing the Government.
As of now, the Central Government employees are getting
90% DA. They are going to get another 10% DA increase from next month, which
will take their total DA to 100% of pay. The normal practice is that DA will be
merged with pay, when it reaches 50%. Merger of 50% DA with basic pay was done
by the 5th Pay Commission, while the 6th Pay Commission refused to do so. Now,
as per media reports, the Government is likely to make a proposal in this
regard to the terms of reference for the 7th Pay Commission.
In respect of the BSNL employees, the BSNLEU has already
raised the demand that 50% IDA should be merged with the basic pay. The
recently held Rajkot CEC meeting of BSNLEU has passed a resolution, strongly
demanding 50% IDA merger.
