New Delhi, September 15 - The government has raised the Dearness Allowance (DA) by 7% to 58%, effective July 1. Nearly five million Central government employees and four million pensioners would benefit. “Dearness Allowance of central government employees has been raised from 51 per cent to 58 per cent. The hike is effective from July 1, 2011,” Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni said after a Cabinet meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Soni said the hike in dearness allowance would provide major relief to the employees and pensioners as prices of essential commodities have been consistently rising. “Total financial implication due to the hike will be Rs 7,228.76 crore per annum. In the current fiscal, it will be Rs 4,819.22 crore,” Soni said.
The Cabinet also approved the Approach Paper for the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-13 to 2116-17), which targets 9 per cent growth.

hike in da only releif to the pensioner
ReplyDeleteSir,. Do not find notification still,though the declaration has been mede by the Govt. Expect the payment of hiked amount only after notification of The Govt. Thanks
ReplyDeleteTHE FREQUENT INCREASE IN D.A DOES NOT ADD ANYTHING TO THE LIFE OF A PENSIONER, SINCE HE IS ALREADY STRIVING FOR HAND TO MOUTH INCOME.
ReplyDeleteWHAT THE GOVERNMENT/THE REGULATOR/CONTROLLER SHOULD ENSURE THAT THE SHARP INCREASE OF PRICES ON SHORT SUPPLY OF COMMODITIES, SHOULD BE STOPPED.
ENABLING THE FARMERS/PRODUCES TO GET REASONABLE PROFIT, THAN LOOT.
THE SYSTEM OF M.R.P (MAXIMUM ROBBERY PERMITTED) SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH COST OF PRODUCTION / TRANSPORTATION / COMMISSION TO DEALERS AND MAXIMUM SALE PRICE.
