Cabinet approves 10% hike in DA for central govt employees

Ahead of the festive season, the central government on Thursday raised Dearness Allowance by 10 percentage points to 45 per cent of basic pay, benefiting about 88 lakh employees and pensioners.


The decision to provide higher DA to employees will cost the exchequer an additional Rs 9,303.2 crore per annum, an official spokesperson said after a meeting of the Union Cabinet, where it was decided to raise the allowance.

The new DA will be paid to central government employees and pensioners with effect from 1st July, 2010, and the burden during the current fiscal has been estimated at Rs 6,202.1 crore.

"Increase in DA is in accordance with the formula based on the recommendations of the Sixth Pay Commission," the spokesperson added.

The existing rate of DA, which is paid as percentage of basic pay to compensate employees for the rising cost of living, is 35 per cent.

The increase in DA comes ahead of the Dussehra and Diwali festivals in October and November, respectively.

The decision will benefit about 50 lakh central government employees and about 38 lakh pensioners.

Punjab warns protesting teachers

Punjab warns protesting teachers

The Punjab government Monday appealed to the protesting teachers of a training programme to resume their duties and warned that those who do not immediately do so would be marked absent, an official said.

Declaring the ongoing week-long agitation of elementary teachers training (ETT) programme as 'illegal and irrational', the government spokesperson assailed the adamant attitude of the ETT teachers and their leaders.


The ETT teachers are seeking shifting their services from the panchayati raj institutions (PRIs) to the state's education department.


In the last one week, nearly 200 ETT teachers, including women, were arrested by the Punjab police for carrying out protests at various places.


The spokesman said that the demands were unjustified and their protests have affected the studies of thousands of students in rural areas.


'Any attempt to disturb the existing framework would not only be detrimental to the process of rural development but also against the basic spirit of the Constitution,' he added.


He disclosed that 13,034 ETT teachers working in 5,752 schools had already been granted all benefits at par with other government school teachers in terms of the payment of dearness allowance (DA), annual increment, opening of Contributory Provident Fund (CPF) account, clearance of probation periods and regular payment of salaries.
