6% hike in DA for central Govt employees
Written by Administrator on February 26th, 2009In a decision that will have a total financial implication to the tune of Rs 6,020 crore over a 14 month period starting January 1, 2009, the Union Cabinet on Thursday approved a six percent hike in the Dearness Allowance (DA) given to Central Government employees and pensioners.
The decision will benefit 41 lakh Government employees and another 38 lakh pensioners. Although revision of DA is done every six months, the quantum of the hike is being viewed as another poll sop doled out by the government with an eye on the forthcoming general elections.
Following Thursday’s decision. the DA component in the salaries and pensions will increase from the 16 to 22 per cent. While the financial implication of the move on the salary component will be Rs 4,100 crore, the implication on the pension component will be around Rs 1,920 crore.
Union Home Minister P Chidambaram said that the hike will be effective from January 1 and will be payable from March 1 this year.

The govt has taken the right decision to increase the DA. As it is a an election time also it may benefit the UPA govt. But for a central govt employees they will benefit from the increase in DA from 16 % to 22%.

Thank you. Govt. has not given any excess it has only passed on what the Govt. servants like us deserve as per calculation. This is an election gimmick. next DA will be 2-3%.

Why the Pharmacists are being ignored by the government? They are waiting for an immemorable time for getting the parity from the Government in regard to pay, carrier promotion etc. If a person joins a government organisation as a pharmacist he also retires from the service as a pharmacist without getting any promotion. Very pitialble condition! Only the ALMIGHTY can do some justice with them. We pray to ALMIGHTY that HE gives blessings to govt. for doing parity with the Pharmacists.
