AIRF urged Finance Minister of India to announce Payment of Dearness Allowance to Central Government Employees and Pensioners.

All India Railwaymen's Federation

No.AIRF/13

Dated: April 9, 2013

Shri P. Chidambaram,
Hon’ble Finance Minister,
Ministry of Finance,
(Government of India)
North Block,
New Delhi.

Dear Sir,

Sub: Payment of Dearness Allowance to Central Government Employees and Pensioners

   It is very unfortunate that the announcement for the payment of Dearness Allowance is being delayed badly and is creating lots of frustration among the Central Government Employees as well as Pensioners. Particularly Railway Employees, who are the prime mover of the wheel of the development and growth of the nation, they also feel frustrated because of inordinate delay in the announcement for the payment of Dearness by the Government of India(Ministry of Finance).

   In this connection, it is worth-mentioning that, it has never happened in the past so many years when payment of Dearness Allowance has not been announced before 31st March.

   All India Railwaymen’s Federation, representing more than 13 lakh Railwaymen as well lakhs of Central Government Employees and Pensioners(through the NC/JCM), strongly protests against the delay in announcement of Dearness Allowance and demands that it should be announced immediately to avoid any confrontation.

Yours faithfully,

The announcement on Dearness Allowance is expected by central and state government employees thirstily.

   Dearness Allowance is not only for Central Government employees..!

   It is a practice which has been followed till now that once in six months, according to the price index ,the rate of DA is being granted in the month of march and September for Government servants. It is not only now, the interest to know the rate of dearness allowance granted twice in a year has been there for the past several years.

   Even before 20 years , the Government servants used to buy the monthly called ‘Swamy’s News’ eagerly and share the things they read in the book with others and debated on it.

   Now it is quit natural that people forget the periodicals, monthly magazines that brings last month’s issues in this modern world in which information technology developed a lot and people have the facility to know the facts in and around the world immediately and share their thoughts through social media.

   It is not right thinking that DA is a matter belongs to only the Central Government employees those who are around 80 Lakhs including Pensioners. Actually they are the reference points for entire state government employees and pensioners except very few states and their numerical strength may be beyond crores.

   Whatever the rate of DA offered for central government employees, the state governments have no other go than to follow it.

   The announcement on Dearness Allowance expected by central and state government employees and pensioners has been getting delayed is making unnecessary embracement. It is believed that not happened like this before.

   Let us hope that there will not be further delay and it will be announced in next cabinet meeting positively.
