Next Additional Dearness Allowance Hike Almost Confirmed at 7%..!

Next Additional Dearness Allowance Hike Almost Confirmed at 7%..!

The Labour Bureau released the AICPIN points for the month of May yesterday. The AICPIN points, which had remained stagnant at 242 has increased by 2 points to touch 244 now. This has led to an increase of the Dearness Allowance for the month of May from 105.02 to 106.17.

With only one month left for the calculation of the second installment of additional Dearness Allowance of the year, one can be almost sure that it would bring a hike of 7%.

The two previous rounds of Dearness Allowance revision brought hikes of 10% each. One could sense an air of disappointment and lack of enthusiasm among the employees this time.

Another reason for the disappointment is the fact that despite the Dearness Allowance increasing by more than 100%, it has still not been merged with the basic pay. There was a lot of expectation that the new Government at the Centre will implement this much-awaited and much-expected change.

But, nothing has been done about this yet. All the employee federations continue to stress upon this change. The federations are hell bent on getting either the DA merger or an interim relief this time. Will their dream come true?

Working weekends? PM Narendra Modi may ask ministers & bureaucrats to work 6 days a week

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to move towards a six-day work week model for all ministries and the bureaucracy, reported ET Now. According to ET Now, Modi may ask ministers and bureaucrats to work on Saturdays too.

According to ET Now, the Prime Minister is also likely to hold review sessions with ministries as and when the need arises. Meanwhile, after brainstorming with his key ministers, Narendra Modi will meet top bureaucrats of economic ministries to chalkout action plan for his government for next 100 days.

Modi, who last week enunciated a 10-point framework for good governance with sectors like education, health, water, energy and road besides reforms in infrastructure and environment accorded top priority, has asked ministries to prepare 100-day action plans.

Secretaries of various departments have been clubbed into batches. All secretaries in the finance ministry are in Batch-A while top bureaucrats in power, petroleum, coal, renewable energy and mines in Batch-B.

Infrastructure departments like road, shipping, railways and civil aviation are in Batch-C and secretaries for departments related to food have been clubbed in another batch.

Besides clearing pending issues and decisions, the BJP government wants to accelerate economic growth by completing infrastructure projects in time-bound manner, exploiting natural resources as well as increasing investment.
