Hon’ble Prime Minister of India,

,
New Delhi.
Respected Sir,
Sub:- Merger of Dearness Allowance with the Pay of the Central Government Employees - reg.
While thanking you for the decision for appointment of 7th Central Pay Commission, we request you to kindly appreciate that the Dearness Allowance paid to the Central Government employees had crossed 50% of pay as on 01.01.2011. This portion of the Dearness Allowance needs to be merged with the Pay for all purposes as was done in the year 2004.
2. According to the figures available, the Central Government employees will get at least 9% increase in the Dearness Allowance w.e.f. 01/01/2014 thus the DA may be almost 100% of pay.
NF1R, therefore, requests you to kindly see that Government takes decision for merger of 50% DA with pay for all purposes with effect from January 1, 2011.
Yours faithfully,
sd/-
(M. Raghavaiah)
General Secretary

from 100@ to...200%....Merger policy deserves to be implemented immediately....
I, Din Dayal Shukla, General Secretary of AFHQ Association [Estd.1922] & Ex-member of Office Council(JCM)at Ministry of Defence, request all the comrades to joint our hands to raise strong voice for merger of 50% DA with Basic Pay.
It is pertinet to mention here that as on 1.1.2004, the DA was 61% and the 50% of the DA was merged with the Basic Pay w.e.f 1.4.2004. From 1.1.1996 the effective date of 5th CPC, the DA was increased to 61% in 8 yrs. Whereas from 1.1.2006, the effective date of 6th CPC the DA is to be reach to 101%. It duly has reflected the rate of inflation much more. The high increase of DA in such a short span has made adverse impact and nullifying the effect of increase in pay & allowances given by the 6th CPC for at least the lower segments of Central Govt. Employees of PB-3 and lower i.e MTS, LDC, UDC, Asstt & Section Officer..
It is therefor, emphasized that the Govt. should examine the above situation and sufferance of the Central Government employees whose pay fall in the Pay Band-3 and below and thereafter take corrective steps and better it would be if at least 50% of DA is merged with their Pay immediately to compensate the erosion of the real vaule of wages granted consequent upon the 6th CPC,as it was done w.e.f 01.04.2004 as compensation. It would be appreciable,if the 50% DA is merged with the Basic Pay before the constitution of 7th CPC.
