No. Conf/27 /2013 - Dated 17th April 2013
Comrades,
DELAY IN GRANT OF DA - HOLD PROTEST DEMONSTRATION ON 23RD APRIL 2013
Since the implementation of the recommendations of the 4th
central pay commission in 1986, the Dearness Allowance (DA) is paid in
two six-monthly installments – in March and September of every year.
The practice followed since then is that the order granting DA to
government employees is issued in March and September itself.
This
time the practice in force since 1986 is violated. Our enquiries with
concerned Ministries informed us that the file is already moved for
Cabinet approval. But it is nearly a month now. The cabinet has found
no time to take a decision on this.
This
naturally is quiet disturbing, especially in the time of galloping
price line. The employees have, in the past, fought bitterly for grant
of DA and the 3rd CPC gave a definite formula for DA in the aftermath of the one day strike on 19th September 1968. We cannot allow the hard won DA to be tampered with.
Confederation
has written to Prime Minister conveying the disquiet amongst the
amongst the employees over the inordinate delay in the grant of
additional installment of DA due from 1st January 2013 and
urging the Prime Minister to take immediate steps to assuage the
feelings of the employees. Copy of the letter is given along with this
Circular.
The
Secretariat of Confederation therefore calls upon every affiliate as
well as State Committee of Confederation to organise lunch hour
demonstration in the work place on 23rd April 2013, Tuesday and send the following telegram to the Prime Minister of India.
Text of Telegram: EMPLOYEES AGITATED OVER DELAY IN GRANT OF DA, URGE TO EXPEDITE ISSUANCE OF ORDERS.
Each
affiliate and State Committee of Confederation may send a detailed
report on implementation of the programme in their organisation/state
to the Confederation CHQ.
With greetings
Yours fraternally

Dr Manmohan Singh,
Hon'ble Prime Minister of India
South Block,
New Delhi – 110001
Sir,
Subject: Grant of Dearness Allowance to Central Govt Employees and Officers – Reg.
I
am to invite your kind attention to the delay in the grant of
additional installment of Dearness Allowance to Central Government
employees and officers and the consternation it is causing amongst the
employees.
It would be apt to point out here that since the implementation of the 4th CPC recommendations with effect from 1st
January 1986, the Dearness Allowance is paid to Central Government
employees in two six monthly installments – along with the salary for
March and September every year. The 5th and 6th
CPCs also recommended the same principle for payment of additional
installments of DA and since then the order granting additional
installment of Dearness Allowance is being issued well in advance
honouring the recommendations.
The
Central Government Employees were expecting the announcement of grant
of additional installment of Dearness Allowance (8 % with effect from 1st
January 2013) and Office Memorandum on that in the month of March 2013
itself. The delay of more than a month has led to disquiet amongst the
employees.
I
shall be thankful if the fears of the central government of employees
are allayed by immediately releasing the additional instalment of
Dearness Allowance with effect from 1st January 2013 without any further delay.
Thanking you in anticipation,
Yours faithfully
Sd/-
