FINANCE MINISTRY DA ORDER JAN 2014 -WHEN IT WILL COME-DA ARREARS CALCULATOR
FINANCE MINISTRY DA ORDER JAN 2014 -WHEN IT WILL COME-DA ARREARS CALCULATOR
FINANCE MINISTRY DA ORDER JAN 2014 -WHEN IT WILL COME
No one can deny the fact that DA is a very important allowance as of now. This applies to both state and central government employees. On the 28th of February 2014, 10 % DA increase was approved by the cabinet and then the announcement about the same came out. In the past, mostly, this announcement and the Finance Ministry order have come out in the month of March. Hardly, has this ever changed so far. So the finance ministry order on DA is expected to come soon.
After the order on the 10% DA is received, the corresponding DA value will be paid as arrears for the first two months and then it will paid along with the month’s salary. Similarly, every time when the DA touches 50%, some allowances can increase up to 25%. We have already got the benefits of the 50% DA increase. Now, as it has reached 100%, a formal announcement is expected to come out soon. Everyone can easily calculate the benefits that we’ll get from a 10% increase. However, for your convenience, I have attached a calculator to help you to find out how much you will get as two month’s arrears and the other benefits that you will get due to the DA increase.

LESSONS FROM OUR EXPERIENCES
Postal Trade Union movement has always been in the
forefront of the struggle against the anti-labour and anti-people policies of
the ruling class. During the Britishraj
it fought many a battle against imperialism and for the freedom of our great
nation. Many Postal leaders and workers
sacrificed their entire life for the nation and for the workers. Right from freedom struggle, the Postal trade
union movement has been a part and parcel of the progressive forces of our
country and always solidly stood with the mainstream of the working class
upholding the traditions of progressive, democratic, socialist and secular
forces and also for the principles enshrined in the Constitution of India. We are proud that NFPE still keep up this
tradition.
After
Independence we have been fighting for the cause of the working class in
general and Postal employees in particular.
In that saga of struggle many of our comrades lost their lives, many
dismissed from service and severely punished for participating in strikes against
the policies of the Government. We learn
lessons from our past experiences and move forward uniting the entire postal
employees including Departmental employees, Gramin Dak Sevaks and Casual,
Part-time, Contingent and Contract workers.
We always fought for changing the policies of the Government and are
still in the battle field.
All of
us are aware that unless and until we succeed in our attempt to change or defeat
the neo-liberal globalisation policies of the ruling class, the future of the
Central Government Employees including five lakhs postal employees will be in
danger and ultimately the private sector may take over major portion of the
service sector and Government functions, just as it happened in Telecom
sector.
It is
a fact that we have defeated the attempt of the Government to close down 9797
Post offices and about 300 RMS offices by putting up stiff resistance under the
banner of Joint Council of Action. We
succeeded in compelling the Government to lift the ban on recruitment and to
fill up all the direct recruitment vacancies and promotional quota
vacancies. But we should not forget that
the policy of downsizing, outsourcing, contractorisation and privatisation is
still hanging as a democles sword over our head. The draft bill for amendment to the Indian
Post Office Act to grant licence to the multi-national private couriers is
still kept pending and not dropped. Our
demand for inclusion of Gramin Dak Sevaks under the purview of Seventh Central
Pay Commission is not accepted, though the recognised GDS Union leader has
signed an agreement with the Department of Posts accepting separate committee
for GDS thereby admitting that GDS are not Government employees (Civil
Servants). Our demand for DA merger,
Interim Relief etc. are also pending. Revision of wages of casual labour is
long overdone. The New Pension Scheme introduced by NDA Government and
legalised by UPA Government has snatched away the right for statutory pension
to those employed on or after 01-01-2004.
When it
comes to the question of implementation of imperial neo-liberal globalisation
policies, those supporting the capitalist class join together to protect their class
interest. Our past experience has taught
us that change of Government alone cannot change the plight of the working
class and common people and it is the change of policies that matter. We believe that only those forces which
oppose the anti-labour, anti-people neo-liberal imperialist gloablisation
policies can safeguard the interest of the working class and the common people
of our country. Let us strengthen those
progressive, democratic and secular forces and strive hard for a better
tomorrow along with the manstream of the working class.

Amendment to CCS
(Pension) Rules, 1972 - Notification Regarding
Credit to CGHS Beneficiaries in Empanelled Private Hospitals to Continue
PIB NEWS - 19.3.14
Credit to CGHS Beneficiaries in Empanelled Private Hospitals to Continue
|
There
have been reports in the Media that private hospitals on the panel of
CGHS are denying credit facilities to the eligible CGHS beneficiaries
for delay in settlement of hospitals bills. Lower package rates and
inadmissible deductions etc. have also been reported to be the other
reasons for withdrawal of agreed cashless /credit facilities.
24
out of 407 Private hospitals empanelled under CGHS decided unilaterally
to discontinue credit facility to the eligible categories of CGHS
beneficiaries. Show Cause Notices stand issued to these Hospitals and
the empanelment of five Hospitals has been suspended for a period of six
months or till further orders, whichever is earlier.
In
this regard, the CGHS beneficiaries are advised not to be guided by
misleading information as most of the private hospitals are continuing
to extend the cashless facilities to the CGHS beneficiaries. The
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare will ensure that the CGHS
empanelled private hospitals continue to extend cashless /credit
facilities to the eligible CGHS beneficiaries in compliance with the
terms and conditions as laid down in the Memorandum of Agreement signed
by them with CGHS. Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has already
taken special steps for clearance of pending hospital bills on a
priority basis and the pendency of bills is almost cleared.
CGHS
has already invited bids for revision of package rates through a
transparent tender process, where the last date for submission of bids
was 16th March, 2014. Steps are underway to conclude the tender process
early.

Central employees awaiting next govt nod on DA merger
New Delhi: Central government employees are awaiting next government nod on merger of 50 percent dearness allowance to basic Pay in the view of model code of conduct.Former Supreme Court Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur (above), the head of the Seventh Central Pay Commission
Family finances of government employees are being squeezed from all sides as inflation is rising at its fastest level in last four years. How can government employees cope with raising inflation besides merger of 50 percent dearness allowance (DA) to basic pay.
High prices of day-to-day goods make it difficult for government employees to afford even the basic commodities in their lives.
The Sixth Pay Commission did not talk about merger. As a result, with the continuous increase of dearness allowance, this has now reached up to 100 per cent of basic pay but the government did not merged 50 percent dearness allowance to basic pay on the pretext of sixth pay panel recommendation.
Earlier, the DA was merged with basic pay, only after it touched 50 per cent of the basic pay on the recommendation of fifth central pay panel.
The government has set up the Seventh Central Pay Commission to recommend for revising salaries of central government employees.
The 4-members commission, headed by Ashok Kumar Mathur, former Supreme Court Judge, will formulate pay, allowances and other facilities as well as benefits structure for 50 lakh central government employees.
The commission will also to look at the revision of pension for those who have retired prior to the date of effect of these recommendations.
However, the decision regarding merger of 50 per cent dearness allowance to basic pay will be taken only after the Seventh Pay Commission gives its interim recommendations under the terms of reference for the commission before submitting of its final report within 18 months of the date of its constitution.
The merger of 50 percent DA to basic pay will lead salaries rising by up to 30 per cent, which will cope with the present living cost of government employees.
The election Commission announced the Lok Sabha elections; model code of conduct makes the government lame-duck as it cannot take decision on merger of dearness allowance without permission of the Election Commission.
Hence, this genuine demand may be considered by the next government only on interim recommendation of seventh pay panel.
