25%
increase in Allowances whenever DA goes up by 50% – Whether Separate Orders
Needed ?
As per the recommendations of Sixth
Pay Commission Report, Government included a clause while granting / revising
certain allowances such as Children Education Allowance, Travelling Allowance,
Conveyance Allowance, Cash handling allowance, Risk Allowance, Bad Climate
Allowance, Hill Area Allowance, Remote Locality Allowance, Tribal Area
Allowances etc to the etc that whenever Dearness Allowance applicable to Central Government employees goes up by 50%, these allowances would be automatically
increased by 25%.
We are getting repeated queries from
readers whether any Separate orders will be issued by Government for increasing
Allowance by 25% which are linked with increase in DA, since Dearness Allowance
has gone up by 50% for the second time now. We are of the opinion that there is
no need for Separate orders for increasing these Allowances by 25% as Office Memorandums
/ Orders relating to these Allowances have the clause “whenever Dearness
Allowance applicable to Central Government employees goes up by 50%, these
allowances would be automatically increased by 25%”
