The Cabinet Secretary, Cabinet Secretariat, (Government of India) Rashtrapati Bhawan, New Delhi-110 004

Dear Sir,

Sub: Releasing of due installment of Dearness Allowance

It is an astonishing fact that the Dearness Allowance, due from 01.01.2015, to the Central Government employees, has not yet been declared by the Government of India, resulting in lots of frustration and agitation in the mind of the Central Government Employees as well as their families.

It is worthwhile to mention here that, normally Dearness Allowance used to be declared in the month of March.

We do hope, you will agree that in these days, due to escalation of prices of all the essential commodities, it has become very difficult to manage household budget.

We further hope that, to give relief to some extent to the Central Government Employees and their families, due installment of the Dearness Allowance will be released immediately.

Yours faithfully

Secretary, NC/JCM(Staff Side)

Fake Dearness Allowance Order Surfaces Online

Fake Dearness Allowance Order Surfaces Online

Announcements that have appeared on social media, proclaiming a hike in Dearness Allowance for Central Government employees, have been declared false and misleading. Also, claims that an announcement was made by the Finance Ministry on March 30 have also been stated as false.

Central Government employees are given a deadness allowance hike in Jan and July of each year. The announcement of DA as declared by the Cabinet Ministry in March and September. So, the enhanced payment of DA will be given in the March and September salary itself. And also the arrears will be given for two months.

Confirmation of the 6% DA hike for 01.01.2015 will be issued by the Ministry of Finance after getting the Cabinet’s approval only. With no approval being given until March 30, some social media carried reports on April 1 that a hike was announced by the Finance Ministry.

Although it was obvious that the order was a fake one, it did create a sense of shock. Since it was April 1, many sensed that it was an April Fool’s Day prank. But the Finance Ministry issued a clarification on the same day claiming that the announcement was fake.

The fake order said that the order will have retrospective effect, from January 1, 2015 onwards. It also said that a DA hike of 115, instead of 107% will be provided to the employees this time.

In the statement issued by Subhash Chand, of the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance, said, “The announcement that was supposedly made on March 30 is false. No such announcement was made by the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance. Therefore, do not act upon the announcement.” The message was issued to all the ministries, departments and offices of the Central Government.

All central government employees are waiting for the announcement of DA.

All central government employees are waiting for the announcement of DA.

Dearness Allowance is not only important for Central Government employees but also for all the State Government employees.

As we all know, generally, Dearness Allowance is given twice a year based on the inflation rates.
Mostly, this DA has been released at end of February or March. Occasionally, it has been released in the month of April.

Only after the DA for the Central Government employees is announced, most of the State Governments will make DA announcements. After the approval of the Cabinet, the Finance Minister will announce the DA order.

The pensioners have placed a plea to the government to release the DR Relief order also when it announces the Dearness Allowance in order to avoid possible delays in getting DR Relief.

In this scenario, it is natural for the employees to expect the announcement of DA every day. Let us hope that the announcement will come soon.
