New Delhi: 7th Pay Commission latest updates lakhs of Central authorities workers and pensioners, ready for hike in dearness allowance will get it from July 1.
Minister of State for Finance, Anurag Thakur had in March this yr advised Parliament that the staff will get full advantages of dearness allowance beginning July 1 and all of the three pending installments will probably be restored prospectively. However, what might upset the central authorities workers is that any improve in DA from July 1 will solely be efficient from that day, which implies that the staff wouldn’t get any arrears on non-revision of DA for earlier interval.
The three installments of dearness allowance for central authorities workers and DR for pensioners, due on January 1, 2020, July 1, 2020 and January 1, 2021, had been frozen in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a written reply to the Rajya Sabha, Thakur mentioned: “As and when the decision to release the future installments of Dearness Allowance due from 01.07.2021 is taken, the rates of DA as effective from 01.01.2020, 01.07.2020 and 01.01. 2021 will be restored prospectively and will be subsumed in the cumulative revised rates effective from 01.07.2021.”
As per some stories out there within the media, the central authorities workers should remember 7th CPC Fitment Factor of two.57 whereas calculating the possible hike in month-to-month wage. This means as per the 7th Pay Commission Fitment Factor, if an worker attracts a month-to-month primary wage of Rs 21,000 then one’s month-to-month 7th CPC wage hike will probably be Rs 51,400 (Rs 20,000 x 2.57).
At current, central authorities workers get DA of 17 per cent. This stage of DA grew to become efficient from July 2019 with additional revision due from January 2020. But this together with subsequent two different revisions had been suspended as a consequence of Covid. Last yr, the Union Cabinet had authorized a 4 per cent improve in DA for presidency workers and pensioners to 21 per cent. This was to be efficient from January 1, 2020. However, in wake of the pandemic the disbursement of DA at elevated charges was suspended together with DR for the pensioners.
