Government Issues Orders for Revised DA to Babus - to be paid before 1.4.2014
GOVERNMENT has issued orders enhancing the Dearness Allowance to Central Government employees and pensioners with effect from 1st January 2014. The existing DA of 90% is enhanced to 100%. The additional installment of Dearness Allowance payable under these orders shall be paid in cash to all Central Government employees.
(But how? These orders were issued yesterday and the Government is virtually closed for the year from tomorrow. The Pay for March 2014 is to be paid on 1.4.2014 - that means the DA has to be paid by 31st March 2014 which is a holiday in many parts of the country. They can do one thing - pay the salary for March a little later - DDT)
