Dearness Allowance hiked by 2 per cent for central government employees, pensioners
The Cabinet on Thursday approved the 2 per cent hike in Dearness Allowance (DA) for Central Government employees and pensioners, effective from July 1, 2016. The proposal to hike the DA was granted during the Cabinet meeting today afternoon at the Prime Minister’s Office.
Dearness allowance is provided to employees and pensioners to minimise the impact of price rise on their earnings. Earlier this year, the government hiked dearness allowance by 6% to 125 % of the basic pay. It was later merged into the basic pay, based on the recommendation of the 7th Pay Commission Panel.
1)Central Government Employees are eligible for 3% DA and not 2 percent
2)Temporary employee to be paid at par with regular worker: SC
3)The women employees of the Central government will soon be able to file sexual harassment complaints online
