The Fifth Central Pay Commission had
recommended uniform neutralization of DA at 100% to employees at all
levels and increase in DA calculation too, according to the 12 monthly
average of AICPIN for Industrial Workers (1982=100) as on 1st January
1996, of 306.33. The Linking Factor of 303.33 has now changed to 115.76.
This was calculated as 4.63 in the 4th CPC. It was due to this change
that the Dearness Allowance has increased in recent years. The 6th Pay
Commission had promptly calculated it and said that the true impact of
price rise and inflation would only then be known.
It was also mentioned in the recommendations
made by the 6th CPC that each time the Dearness Allowance touched 50%,
certain Allowances and Advances should also be raised by 25%. It is of
common knowledge that according to these recommendations, when D.A
touched 50% on 01.01.2011, DOPT issued orders to increase it by 25%.
Since the DA is calculated on the basis of
price rise and inflation, this 25% raise was given in order to make it
uniformly applicable to all the other Allowances and Advances. The
Allowances and Advances mentioned in this are the Children’s Education
Allowance and Hostel Subsidy and Festival Advance.
As of now, the Central Government employee is
entitled to claim 15,000 per annum per child under the Children’s
Education Allowance and Hostel Subsidy. An increase of 25% would mean
that the amount would rise to Rs. 18,750 per year. Similarly, there are
chances that the Festival Advance would increase to Rs. 4700. These
could be confirmed only after the DOPT makes its official announcements.
The list mentioned below is explanatory and given in detail, along with explanations.
