50 % DA MERGER OR INTERIM RELIEF ?
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.

VIth
Pay Commission
The 6th pay commission after its constitution
and implementation did not recommended or suggest any kind of interim relief or
merging of DA with the basic pay. As of now the DA has touched 100% and its
government is unable to satisfy employees. All federation and associations are
pressing the government for the merger of 50% DA.
They 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.
