History of Dearness Allowance

October 3, 2015 rajasinghmurugesan

HISTORY OF DEARNESS ALLOWANCE

The Dearness Allowance was introduced following the second World War, and was then known as the “Dear Food Allowance”. The “Old Textile Allowance” was also introduced in 1947, though this was revised and reintroduced in 1953 as the “Revised Textile Allowance”. Initially DA was given in response to demand of employees for wage revision, however later it was linked to Consumer Price Index. In the past various committees have been constituted to look into the issue of payment of D.A. to Central Government employees.

The III Central Pay Commission recommended payment of DA whenever the CPI rose by 8 points over the index of 200 (with base 1960 = 100). The extent of neutralisation granted with effect from 1-1-1973 ranged from 100% to 35%.

The IV Central Pay Commission recommended the grant of DA on a ‘percentage system’ of the basic pay (1986).It also recommended payment of DA twice a year; 1 January and 1 July.Each instalment of DA was to be calculated with reference to the percentage increase in the 12 monthly average of All India Consumer Price Index (base 1960). The extent of neutralisation now ranged from 100% to 65%.

The V Central Pay Commission looked into the issue of differential neutralisation and found it to be injustice to senior officers and recommended uniform neutralization of 100% to employees at all levels. The Commission had suggested that dearness allowance should be converted into dearness pay every time the cost of living rises by 50% over the base level.

The VI Central Pay Commission recommended revision of base year of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as frequently as feasible.It also changed base year for DA calculation to 2001 (base year 2001=100)

    Dear Sir,

    I want to know that can you permit to purchase the items outside like Sahara mall and other reliance outlet on ex servicemen canteen CSD card.
    The tax is exempted from the CDS Canteen card holders if they purchase the items from the CSD. The some profit is goes to the unit canteen or other csd canteen

    The same procedure or direction to be given to the registered outlet
    and same procedure to be adopted as well as csd canteen obtaining.

    For Example :
    Ex servicemen is taking treatment from the civil Hospitals
    through ECHS Scheme.
    These will save the time who is standing in the line for purchase the items
    These will save the manpower of the military
    These will save the transpiration
    These will save the crowed in the csd canteen
    The mail motto to provide the goods on without Govt TAX which can be utilized from civil sources. as well as utilizing the medical facilities from the civil hospitals.
