25% Nursing Allowance Hike on DA Increase: Govt Order 2024

November 21, 2024 by rajasinghmurugesan Leave a Comment

Implementation of 25% Increase in Nursing Allowance Following DA Rise by 50%

The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has issued an Office Memorandum (OM No. Z.28015/50/2017-N) on 17th September 2024, addressing the implementation of a 25% increase in Nursing Allowance for eligible personnel. This update comes in response to the Dearness Allowance (DA) crossing the 50% threshold.

Background

The Nursing Allowance, as outlined in the Ministry’s previous OM dated 31st August 2017, is subject to an incremental rise of 25% each time the DA payable on the revised pay scales increases by 50%. This mechanism ensures that healthcare professionals’ allowances remain aligned with inflation and cost-of-living adjustments.

Applicability

The increase in Nursing Allowance applies to:

  • Central Government Hospitals
  • Union Territory (UT) Hospitals
  • Centrally Funded Autonomous Institutions, including:
    • AIIMS, New Delhi
    • PGIMER, Chandigarh
    • JIPMER, Pondicherry

Action Required

All concerned institutions and administrative bodies are instructed to:

  1. Review the DA Percentage: Verify the rise in DA beyond 50% as per the revised pay scale.
  2. Implement the Allowance Increase: Update Nursing Allowance rates in payroll systems accordingly.
  3. Ensure Timely Disbursement: Avoid delays in passing on the benefits to the eligible nursing staff.

Significance

This decision underscores the government’s commitment to improving the financial well-being of nursing professionals, who are the backbone of the healthcare system. By linking allowances to DA increases, the policy ensures that these professionals remain motivated and adequately compensated.

For detailed instructions, refer to the original Office Memorandum issued on 31st August 2017, which serves as the guiding document for this increase.


Conclusion

The 25% hike in Nursing Allowance is a positive step for nursing professionals working under the Central Government and related institutions. Institutions are advised to act promptly to implement the changes in line with the Ministry’s directives.
