Government issued orders for 6% increase of DA for Central Government employees from 01-01-2015, thus increasing the total DA to 113% from the present 107%.

DA for the CG Employees is revised twice every year in January and July. In the PSUs IDA is revised four times in the year in January, April, July and October. For the contract workers it is being revised twice in a year.

The DA /IDA has crossed 100% for both CG employees as also PSU employees. The government should immediately issue orders for merger of DA/IDA with pay. Any delay is causing strong reaction from the workers.  The VII Central Pay Commission refuses to recommend merger stating that it has not been  included in the Terms of Reference given to the CPC.

The Central Government Employees are going for a strike on demands including DA merger. We fully support the struggle.
