Centre issues 100% DA order

The Central government employees are entitled for dearness allowance at the rate of 100% of the basic with effect from 1 January 2014 which was approved by the Union cabinet on February 28, 2014.

Accordingly, the Finance Ministry today issued order of additional instalment of Dearness Allowance (DA) to central government employees at the rate of 10% increase over the existing rate of 90% vide F.No.1/1/2012-E-II(B) dated March 27, 2014 which would be effective from the January 1 this year.
The arrears of dearness allowance shall be paid in cash but not before the date of disbursement of salary of the March 2014. As per practice, the government uses Consumer Price Index — Industrial Workers data of the past 12 months to arrive at a quantum for the purpose of any DA hike.
Thus, the retail inflation for industrial workers between January 1 to December 31, 2013 was used to take a final call on the matter. The merging of 50 percent dearness allowance with basic pay will take place only when the seventh central pay commission submits an interim report in this respect.
