Dearness Allowance from January 2013 - 6th CPC Recommendations on merger of 50% Dearness Allowance

Dearness Allowance from January 2013 - 6th CPC Recommendations on merger of 50% Dearness Allowance...

"No any recommendation in 6th CPC Report on merger of 50% Dearness allowance with basic pay at any stage"...


Dearness Allowance from January 2013 - 6CPC Recommendation

As of now nobody knows the correct reason why the government is delaying the approval of DA hike from January 2013. Actually the delay in announcing the dearness allowance helps the people speculate more about the Governments Plan about whether the 50% DA will be merged or not.


As per the 6CPC recommendation accepted by the government, the Dearness Allowance supposed to be enhanced from 1st January of every year has to be paid with salary of month of March. The 6 CPC was very much clear about two things; first one is the formula for calculating the quantum of DA to be paid to central government employees and its frequency. Second one is on Merger of 50% Dearness allowance with Basic pay by converting it as dearness Pay

Sixth Pay Commission recommendation on Merger of 50% Dearness Allowance and sanctioning of DA to central government employees

It has been clearly told in 6 CPC recommendations under the Heading of Dearness Allowance, Chapter no 4.1…

4.1.18 ……This conversion, however, is not necessary in the revised structure being recommended where increments are payable as a percentage of the pay in the pay band and grade pay thereon and provision has been made for all allowances/benefits to be revised periodically linked to the increase in the price index. The Commission is, therefore, not recommending merger of dearness allowance with basic pay at any stage.

4.1.19 No real justification exists for revising DA once in 3 months. Accordingly, DA may continue to be sanctioned twice a year as on 1st January and 1st July payable with the salary of March and September respectively for administrative convenience with inflation neutralization being maintained at 100% at all levels.

As it was the recommendation of 6CPC , even after the seventh day of the month of April, the quantum of DA to be increased is yet to be declared by the government is quite new for central government employees. But it is evident that ‘announcement of DA hike can be delayed, but Payment of increased Dearness Allowance cannot be denied’.

Bad Sectors

Unfortunately bad sectors are the enemy of every computer user in the world. A hard bad sector is a sector on a hard drive that cannot be used due to permanent damage to the surface of the disk. This is not always physical damage (although is often the case) it can be caused by the sector locking and becoming unrecoverable.
A soft bad sector is a bad sector that may be repairable as these are logical errors. This article concentrates on hard bad sectors. Running the check disk utility which is built into the windows operating system should resolve logical errors.
Any data stored on a bad sector when it goes bad is usually lost as the sector becomes unrecoverable but the rest of the drive should function correctly and the data on the drive should be OK.

what are bad sectorsHow did I get bad sectors?

Bad sectors are to be expected on any hard drive and most drives have bad sectors when the drive is first manufactured. Over the lifespan of a hard drive you will get bad sectors through no fault of the user. These are usually dealt with by the operating system and stored and marked as unusable.
Laptop drives also seem to be more susceptible to bad sectors than a desktop computer simple because a laptop is more likely to be moved around increasing the chances of damage as most hard drives have moving parts. The exception to this is solid state drives which have no moving parts.

What are the signs of bad sectors?

The most obvious sign is a dramatic slowdown in your computer. People often attribute a slowdown in their computer to a virus or a lot of junk on their computer but in my experience bad sectors are just as likely to be the culprit. The operating system tries to read data and re-try’s until it times out and moves on. Multiple bad sectors will bring a computer to a grinding halt.



A good way to check this is to look in your event log under system (control panel, administrate tools, event log) If your computer has many bad sectors they may be logged here.
Another common sign is the activity of your hard drive. A hard drive with bad sectors does tend to be much more active. Even when the computer is idle you may see the hard drive light flickering away as it tries to organize or bypass the bad sectors.
You may also receive boot errors when booting your operating system such as files missing or boot records corrupted. These can sometimes be attributed to problems with bad sectors on your hard drive. If you are receiving error messages and unable to boot you may find our “hard drive failure repair and recover data” article useful.

Can I repair bad sectors?

You can not repair hardware bad sectors as they are permanent damage on the disc. Having said that you can perform something called remapping which means the system marks the sectors as bad and knows not to use them to stop your system becoming unstable. Windows has built-in tools that can do this for you called chkdsk.
There are other free tools out there that may be able to repair bad sectors(soft) and remap hard bad sectors such as HDAT2. There are also the tools that come from your hard drive manufacturer.

Avoiding bad sectors in the future

Sometimes no matter what you do you will end up with bad sectors on a drive but there are a few things you can do to minimize the risk.
  • Keep your computer dust free. Use compressed air to clean out tough areas to reach.
  • Always shut down your computer correctly. Turning off the computer by the power socket is a sure fire way to damage your hard drive
  • When moving your computer do so very carefully.
  • Keep your computer cool and well ventilated.
  • Using disk defragmentation software to prevent wear and tear.
  • Malware and viruses can also be a cause of bad sectors. Ensure you run good anti malware software like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and have a good anti-virus program like Kaspersky Internet Security to keep your computer protected.

Central govt staffer can't avail family planning dole in new job: HC


Central govt staffer can't avail family planning dole in new job: HC

BANGALORE: The family planning allowance to central government employees cannot be extended for fresh or re-appointments even in cases where they rejoin central government establishments, ruled the high court.

The court set aside the order of Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT), Bangalore bench, asking the authorities to grant special increment for undergoing sterilization to a senior technical assistant at Defence Avionics Research Establishment (DARE), Bangalore.

The court observed that the order passed by the central government in 1979 did not indicate that an employee is entitled to the special increment benefit in his future employments. The order is an incentive to promote small family among central government servants who are within the reproductive age group. Once out of service, he is not entitled to increment even if he enters the central government service in another capacity, the court said.

In this case, the respondent didn't undergo sterilization operation after fresh appointment. Once sterilization took place, he got the incentive and the objective was achieved. On re-employment, he cannot contend he wants to maintain small family because of prior sterilization and seek extension of benefits, the court said. "That is not the object of the said scheme which the government has made. These increments should be construed strictly," a division bench comprising Justice N Kumar and Justice B Manohar observed while allowing a petition filed by the ministry of defence challenging the April 16, 2012 order of CAT in the case of one R Ravichandran.

WHAT IS THE CASE?

R Ravichandran entered the service of Indian Air Force on August 24, 1981 and took voluntary retirement on April 30, 2001. His wife underwent sterilization operation on March 17,1992. As per government order, he was given an incentive with effect from April 1, 1992 till his voluntary retirement. He then took up a job as senior technical assistant at DARE, Bangalore on November 28, 2003. On October 8, 2010, he sought extension of the said benefit citing the previous tubectomy operation of his wife. However, the authorities did not consider the request. He then approached CAT, which relying on an earlier order passed by it in a similar case directed the authorities to extend the benefit to Ravichandran, following which it was challenged in the HC.

DA JANUARY 2013: Decision on hiking dearness allowance deferred-DA JAN 2013


DA JANUARY 2013: Decision on hiking dearness allowance deferred-DA JAN 2013

NEW DELHI: The government on Tuesday deferred a decision on hiking dearness allowance (DA) of central government employees to 80 per cent, from 72 per cent at present.

An increase in DA would have benefitted about 50 lakh employees and 30 lakh pensioners.

"The proposal on DA has been deferred as the Finance Minister was not present," Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari told reporters after the Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh here.

Finance Minister P Chidambaram is on an official visit to Japan.

A hike in DA has been proposed with effect from January 1, 2013, according to sources.

The government had hiked DA to 72 per cent in September last year. The increase was with effect from July 1, 2012.

The Confederation of Central Government Employees has demanded merger of up to 50 per cent DA with the basic pay and setting up the seventh pay commission at the earliest.

As per the practice, the DA is merged with basic pay when it breaches the 50 per cent cap. This helps employees get higher allowances as those are paid as proportion to the basic pay.
