7th Pay Commission latest news: There is good news for central employees and pensioners soon. The government can now give a verdict on 18 Months DA Arrear. This time, talks are to be held on the arrears of dearness allowance of government employees stuck for 18 months and the time for talks with the cabinet secretary has been fixed. It is being told that during the meeting with the Cabinet Secretary, the representatives of the Employees and Pensioners Union will request for the payment of dues.
If DA Arrear comes then you will get big money
Actually, the employees are firm on their demand regarding this 18 months DA arrears. If the central employees get the arrears of DA Arrear under the 7th Pay Commission, a huge amount will come in the account of the employees. According to Shiv Gopal Mishra of National Council of JCM (Staff Side), the DA arrears of Level-1 employees range from Rs 11,880 to Rs 37,554. Wherein, if the calculation is done for Level-13 (7th CPC Basic Pay-Scale Rs. 1,23,100 to Rs. 2,15,900 or Level-14 (Pay-Scale), then the DA arrears in the hands of an employee will be Rs. 1,44,200 to 2 ,18,200 will be paid Rs.
No decision on 18 months arrears
Significantly, after the Corona period, the central government had increased the dearness allowance by 11 percent outright from July 1, 2020. But, during that period (18 months), the arrears of dearness allowance have not yet been given to the employees. On this subject last year, it was told to the Finance Ministry that arrears will not be paid in lieu of freeze dearness allowance. But, on the other hand, due to the demands of the organizations, the pressure on the government is continuously increasing. At present, the dearness allowance of central employees has increased from 34 per cent to 38 per cent.
What is the logic of the pensioners?
In fact, the pensioners have appealed that the ‘Finance Ministry should give the arrears of DA / DR withheld between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021’. We will be extremely grateful for immediate action on this. Pensioners argue that when DA/DR was stopped, retail inflation had risen sharply and prices of petrol-diesel, edible oil and pulses were also at a record high. In such a situation, the government should not withhold the money of this outstanding arrears.
Pensioners are waiting
Let us tell you that if these arrears are received by the employees, then a hefty amount will come in their account. In such a situation, pensioners say that DA / DR is paid for the livelihood of the pensioners. During the 18 months, the cost and expenses increased continuously but the allowances did not increase. In such a situation, it is not in their interest to withhold dearness relief as part of pension, the only income of pensioners. Therefore, pensioners say that the government should consider it once again.
