7% DA from July 2014 – Prompt decision is worth appreciating..!

7% DA from July 2014 – Prompt decision is worth appreciating..! The Centre has announced an additional 7% DA hike for the Central Government employees and Pensioners from July 2014. Usually, agendas for central government employees’ DA hike are presented at the Cabinet meeting only on the third or fourth Thursdays of the month. There are times when these decisions were made during the last cabinet meeting of the season. Sometimes, these decisions are not made even during the last meeting and are taken up only during special meeting or at critical times. On the 4th of this month, out of the blue, the Government announced a 7% DA hike . The cabinet’s announcement gives a positive conclusion to the relentless waiting of the past few weeks. DA is calculated twice a year (from January to June, and from July to December) based on the changes in the Consumer Price Index (IW) BY 2001=100. The AICPIN numbers of the month are released by the Labour Bureau the following month.
