Confederation sought merger of 100 percent DA with effect from Jan 2014
A workshop organised by the Confederation of Central Government Gazetted Officers’ Organisations, Tamil Nadu region, has finalised the common minimum demands to be placed before the 7 Central Pay Commission, including a just and equitable pay at the entry level of Group ‘B’ officers.
It was also agreed upon at the workshop here on Saturday to demand a joint consultative machinery to redress their grievances and a minimum of five promotions during their tenure — from entry to Group ‘B’ level either by promotion or direct recruitment.
The workshop for the constituents of the Confederation sought merger of 50 per cent dearness allowance for all purposes with effect from January 1, 2011 or 100 per cent DA with effect from January 1, 2014 for the serving officers. Other demands included free and hassle-free medical facilities to Group ‘B’ officers and adequate travel entitlements.

Seeing to the tough posture the govt has taken on the merger of 50% of DA with basic pay/pension in view of the fact that the inflation has gone high etc., it appears that the govt may not accept our plea for merger of DA with basic pay/pension as it is not specifically recommended by the VIcpc and to that extent, the VIcpc has left a big vacuum for the employees and pensioners which only the 7cpc could correct. Hence, our efforts to get the merger may not bear fruit as it seen so far.
