Central D.A. likely to be announced today.

   The Union Cabinet is expected to meet this evening to consider a 7 per cent hike in the Dearness Allowance (DA) of Central government employees.

   Once approved, it will benefit over 52 lakh government employees.  The meetings of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) and Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure (CCI), scheduled for Friday, were postponed apparently in view of the rapid political developments in the aftermath of the government's decision to hike diesel prices and operationalise its earlier move to allow Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in multi- brand retail.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject: Flexible Complementing Scheme for Scientists in Scientific and Technological Departments - date of effect of promotions.

   The Flexible Complementing Scheme (FCS) for scientists is in position in some of the scientific Ministries/Departments of the Government of India with the issue of guidelines issued by this Department under O.M. No.2/41/97-PlC dated the 9th November, 1998. The same is presently governed by the Modified FCS guidelines issued by this Department after 6th CPC under O.M. No. AB 14017/37/2008- Estt.(RR) dated the 10th September, 2010.

   2. On the issue of date of effect of promotions under FCS, this Department’s instructions issued in OM dated 17th July, 2002 lay down that as promotions are made effective from a prospective date after the competent authority has approved the same, the same principle shall be applicable in the case of in situ promotions under FCS as well. The OM makes it very clear that the Assessment Boards have to be constituted well in advance keeping in view the fact that 1st January and 1st July of each year are crucial dates to effect promotions. The competent authority shall ensure that no promotion is granted with retrospective effect.
