Release of additional instalment of Dearness Allowance to Central Government employees and Dearness Relief to Pensioners due from 1.1.2016
The Union Cabinet, chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has approved release of an additional instalment of Dearness Allowance (DA) to Central Government employees and Dearness Relief (DR) to Pensioners w.e.f. 01.01.2016. This represents an increase of 6 percent over the existing rate of 119 percent of the Basic Pay/Pension, to compensate for price rise.
This will benefit about 50 lakh Government employees and 58 lakh pensioners.
The increase is in accordance with the accepted formula, which is based on the recommendations of the 6th Central Pay Commission (CPC). The combined impact on the exchequer on account of both Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief would be of Rs. 6796.50 crore per annum and Rs.7929.24 crore respectively, in the financial year 2016-17 (for a period of 14 months from January, 2016 to February, 2017).

I was retired from BSF as Hon Asst Comdt (comn) just 2 months before implementation of 6th pay commission (31st Oct 2005) and no justice was done while deciding/fixing my pension. My juniors who retired after 2 months of my retirement were paid a huge amount in terms of gratuity ,leave encashment and other related allowances. It was a great loss to me. It should have been proportionally fixed. Please look into it and accord justice to my pension………….. Om Prakash. (Ex AC(Comn)) HQ DTE Gen BSF New Delhi.
