After the announcement of reinstating DA and DR advantages to central authorities employees and pensioners, the federal government has taken a step ahead to provide ‘financial incentives’ for a selected part of officers belonging to North East Cadres of All India companies to the All India Service (AIS) officers working within the Union Territory of Ladakh.
“It has now been decided to extend the provisions of additional monetary incentives to the All India Service officers working in UT of Ladakh, subject to ceiling, and instructions issued in this regard from time to time,” mentioned Devendra Kumar, Under Secretary to Government of India, in a letter to chief secretaries of all state governments.
Furthermore, a particular allowance and particular responsibility allowance will be given to AIS officers posted within the UT of Ladakh with a hike at 20 p.c and 10 p.c of their fundamental wage respectively.
Previously, the federal government had already introduced that it might reinstate the Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) from July 1. The central authorities worker’s DA will be elevated from 17 p.c to twenty-eight p.c which features a 3 p.c, 4 p.c, and anticipated 4 p.c DA hike due from 1st January 2021.
“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,” Anurag Thakur, the Minister of State (MoS) for Finance, had mentioned earlier in a written reply to Rajya Sabha.
