    The expected DA wef Jul 2012 is likely to be 7%. The ratio by which the inflation is esclating particularly in the essential commodities, this 7% is just a consolatory relief to the Govt employees. Such enhancement in DA is not going to work any more in the present scenario. Merging of 50% DA with basic pay would be a better alternative and is the need of the hour.

    The DA is likely to be enhanced by another 7% wef Jul 2012 and the process seems to be continued till it touches the mark of 100%. The objective behind this policy/procedure is not understood except for the reason that this will save revenue to some extent. Ironically, there can be no halt or control over the raising inflation and such periodic enhancement of DA is just a consolatory relief particularly to the low paid Govt employees. Keeping into consideration the level of ongoing shooting inflation, merging of 50% DA with the basic pay (as used to be adopted earlier prior to introduction of the 6th CPC)would not cause enormous loss to the Govt revenue but will be a fair respite to the low paid Govt employees. Request the point may be given a due consideration.
