50% DA MERGER - Impact of Merger of 50% Dearness Allowance with Basic Pay

Any possible to convert 50% of dearness allowance to dearness pay..!

Everyone's pointing fingers at "Parliament Election"...! 

50% DA MERGER

50% of dearness allowance had been merged with basic pay for Central Government Employees and Pensioners with effect from 1.4.2004. This was followed the recommendation of 5th Central Pay Commission and the Union Government had decided to merge 50% of dearness allowance with baisc pay and issued orders on 1.3.2004.  (61% - 50% = 11%) 50% of dearness allowance merged with basic pay and remaining 11% had been issued as normal dearness allowance with effect from 1.1.2004.

Example : An employee's Basic Pay had revised as under on 1.1.2004 after 50 % DA merged with basic pay...

Basic Pay	Dearness allowance 61%	Total	Basic Pay	Dearness Pay	Remaining percentage of Dearness allowance 11%	Total	Difference
4000	2440	6440	4000	2000	660	6660	220

[And the next instalment of additional dearness allowance from 1.7.2004 declared as 3%, then the total dearness allowance went up to 14%. When implementation of 6th CPC, the above employee's basic pay was 4200 as on 1.1.2006, it just multiply with 1.86 and add with corresponding grade pay.]

Everybody thinking as more benefit on 50% of DA merge with basic pay...not like that..!

Challenges before the Seventh Pay Commission: Raj Kumar Ray

SUMMARY

Growth has fallen in the last couple of years eroding revenue while inflation remains stubbornly high. The new pay commission will have to factor in both concerns

Why does the government appoint a pay commission every decade?

A pay panel is appointed every decade to review and recommend the pay structure for central government employees taking into account various factors such as cost of living, inflation rate, revenue growth and fiscal deficit of the government, growth in workforce, private sector job scenario and wages, and economic growth. The government has so far appointed six pay commissions. The demand for a permanent pay commission set up through an Act of Parliament has been raised once but it was not accepted by the government.

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh approved the constitution of the Seventh Pay Commission—to be headed by retired Supreme Court judge Ashok Kumar Mathur—to suggest the extent of hike in salaries of the 7-million-plus central government staff and pensioners with effect from 2016. Petroleum secretary Vivek Rae has been appointed as a full-time member, NIPFP director Rathin Roy will be part-time member and Meena Agarwal will be member-secretary of the new pay panel.

The nuts and bolts of Interim Budget

The nuts and bolts of Interim Budget

The fiscal deficit for 2013-14 will be contained at 4.6% of GDP, well below the red line drawn last year.

The fiscal deficit for 2013-14 will be contained at 4.6% of GDP, well below the red line drawn last year. The Current Account Deficit, which threatened to exceed last year’s CAD of $88 billion, will be contained at $45 billion, and about $15 billion is expected to be added to the foreign exchange reserves by the end of FY14. Analysts and rating agencies no longer speak about a downgrade.

Both WPI and core inflation fall 

Wholesale Price Index (WPI) headline inflation stood and core inflation declined from 7.3% and 4.2% respectively on Budget Day 2013 to 5.05% and three% at the end of January 2014. However, there is still some distance to go. Food inflation is still the main worry, although it has declined sharply from a high of 13.6% to 6.2%.

Five things to know about National Savings Certificate

1) The National Savings Certificate (NSC) is eligible for tax deduction under Section 80C for an investment of up to Rs 1 lakh. One can invest in five- or 10-year NSCs.

2) The interest on the NSC is fixed in April every year. The current rate is 8.5% for five years, and 8.8% for 10 years.

3) The interest accumulated every year can be deducted from Rs 1 lakh investible in that year for saving tax, as it is considered to be invested for this purpose.

4) The interest is taxable, but since it can be reinvested as part of Section 80C investment, it makes NSC an attractive option.
