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/-
