New Delhi:
Central government employees expect a 2 percent dearness allowance in the salary
from January 2017.
As per a blog of
central government employees, "In case All India Consumer Price Index(AICPIN) is
less than 277 for Nov and Dec 2016, then Dearness Allowance from January 2017
will be 2 percent. The employees feel that due to the impact of demonetisation,
AICPIN Value may be volatile in the coming months.
The AICPIN for
December 2016 was released by the Labour Department on January 31 at
275.
Though this is
not the final figure because the Union are protesting against the DA %, added
the blog.
The move is
likely to bring relief to around 50 lakh employees working with the central
government as well as 58 lakh more pensioners.
Provision of
dearness allowance and dearness relief is made to the employees and pensioners
so as to neutralise the effect of price rise on their salary and
saving.
