4% Additional Dearness Allowance Increase from July 2023 for Central Government Employees, Pensioners, and Family Pensioners!

The Union Cabinet Committee is expected to grant its approval to the enhancement of Dearness Allowance (DA) by 4% from July 2023. Typically, this approval is given by the Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs in September. Central Government employees and pensioners are eagerly awaiting the announcement of the DA hike from July 2023.

Following the methodology established by the 7th Pay Commission, the Dearness Allowance (DA) percentage is determined by considering the average All India Consumer Price Index Numbers (AICPIN) for Industrial Workers over a period of 12 months. Currently, the DA stands at 42% and will be increased to 46% effective from July 1, 2023.

The announcement regarding the Dearness Allowance (DA) is usually made biannually, specifically in March and September. This allowance is granted to government employees and pensioners in India, with two separate installments provided. The revised DA will come into effect in January and July of each year. These two increments in the DA aim to mitigate the impact of rising prices of essential goods and commodities.

The announcement of the second installment of a 4% additional Dearness Allowance (DA) for the current year, effective from July 2023, will be made soon after receiving approval from the Union Cabinet Committee.

42% + 4% = 46%

Dearness Allowance Arrears for July and August 2023

Starting in July 2023, Central Government Employees and Pensioners are set to receive a generous allocation of 46% Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief. This allocation will be calculated based on their Basic Pay or Basic Pension.

To break it down further, for the month of July 2023, a significant portion of the DA, namely 42%, has already been disbursed, leaving a remaining 4% to be paid out as arrears.

Similarly, in the month of August 2023, an impressive 42% of the DA has already been distributed, with the outstanding 4% to be provided as arrears as well.

Looking ahead to September 2023, eligible recipients can anticipate the complete 46% DA to be bestowed upon them.

Pregnant Women now eligible for COVID-19 Vaccination

Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has accepted the recommendations of NTAGI

Pregnant women may now register on Cowin or walk into the nearest COVID Vaccination Centre (CVC) to get themselves vaccinate

Operational Guideline for vaccinating pregnant women, Counselling Kit for Medical Officers and FLWs, and IEC material for general public shared with States/UTs for its implementation

Posted On: 02 JUL 2021 5:55PM by PIB Delhi

Based on recommendations from the National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI), the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) today approved the vaccination of pregnant women against COVID-19. The decision empowers pregnant women to make an informed choice on taking the COVID vaccination. The decision has been communicated to all the States/ UTs to implement it under the ongoing National COVID Vaccination Program.

India’s National COVID Vaccination program incorporates recommendations of the foremost experts in the field of immunization, public health, disease control and information technology. Based on scientific and epidemiological evidence, the program gives priority to strengthening the country’s healthcare system by protecting the professionals, health and frontline workers, manning it, as well as protecting the most vulnerable population groups. Till date, all groups except pregnant women were eligible for COVID-19 vaccination. Now, it is expanded to even pregnant women in the world’s largest Immunization drive.

Studies have shown that COVID-19 infection during pregnancy may result in rapid deterioration of health of pregnant women and they are at an increased risk of severe diseases and it might affect fetus too. The matter has been examined by domain knowledge experts based on the evidence that indicate that pregnant women are at an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19 compared to non-pregnant women in case they get infected. Further, pregnant women with COVID-19 infection are at an increased risk for preterm birth and other adverse pregnancy outcomes including higher chances of neonatal morbidity. Additionally, the experts have also highlighted pre-existing co-morbidities, advanced maternal age, and high body mass Index as factors for severe COVID-19 in pregnancy.

The National Technical Advisory Group on Immunization (NTAGI) has recommended vaccination for pregnant women. The National Expert Group on Vaccine Administration for COVID-19 (NEGVAC) too has unanimously recommended it. Further, a national level Consultation on COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant women was also convened by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to build consensus on COVID Vaccination of pregnant women.

SOLIDARITY WITH DEFENCE WORKERS

02.07.2021

Dear Comrades,

As you are aware, the Defence Civilian employees and workers are on the path of struggle since the day the Govt. of India decided to corporatise the 41 ordnance factories, virtually to hand over the national assets to private entrepreneurs that too to a selected favoured few of the ruling Party, BJP. Ever since this Government came to power, as part of the intensification of the neo- liberal economic policies, the Government had been making all out efforts to change the public secto

r ownership of defence production units. The Government could not fault the Ordnance Factory Board either on the score of the quality of their products or the cost of production. Recently when the country was in the grip of covid 19 and the universal wearing of masks became a combating pre-requisite, the Government had to seek the help of OFB to produce these masks in large quantities and at affordable price.

The Ordnance factories came into existence as part of the National endeavour to bring in self reliance in the vital defence sector emanating from the bitter experience when the country was in war with its neighbours. The present decision on all fours is the product of the crony capitalism indulged in by the rulers ever since they came to power. They are duty bound to do so having received financnail assistance from them.

The Industrial Disputes Act and other labour welfare enactments made by the country in its post independent era aim to protect the interest of the workers and their right to strike. It must be stated in all seriousness that despite differences, all Federations including that led by the leaders of the Ruling party joined together to resist this ill -conceived project of the government. Even after the commencement of the strike on the last occasion they decided to provide an opportunity to the Government to come to a mutually agreeable negotiated settlement and created an ambience required for it by withdrawing the strike action. It is, therefore, audacious to note that the Government has taken the unfortunate position that it is their sole prerogative to take policy decisions and those decisions are un-negotiable. The Government took no steps to allay the fears expressed by the workers in the event of the transformation of the entity into a corporate body.

It is the united strength of workers, that forced the Government to invoke the provisions of the dreaded Essential Services Maintenance Act which shall provide draconian powers to the Government to suppress the movement, jail the leaders, oust them permanently from the factories through arbitrary dismissals and removals.

The Federations in the Defence Industry have come together and passed a resolution, which inter alia details the inexplicable move of the government and their determined decision to face it squarely. Copy of the said resolution is enclosed.

The invoking of the provisions of the ESMA to deal with a purely industrial dispute must be viewed seriously. It reflects the impudent and autocratic attitude of the rulers. Confederation of Central Government employees and workers and its affiliates had been the victim of such autocratic and despotic actions of the Government in the past. It is our solemn duty to extend our solidarity and support to the Defence workers at this critical juncture. The Defence Federations have called upon their members to observe 8th July, 2021 as Black Protest day. Confederation’s National Sectt. calls upon its affiliates and through them all the Central Government employees to join the protest action on 8th July, 2021 and demonstrate their solidarity with the Defence workers.

With greetings,

Yours fraternally,

R.N. Parasar

Secretary General.RESOLUTION ADOPTED IN THE JOINT MEETING OF THE 5 FEDERATIONS OF THE DEFENCE CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES (AIDEF, INDWF, BPMS, NPDEF & AIBDEF) CONDEMNING THE DRACONIAN ESSENTIAL DEFENCE SERVICES ORDINANCE 2021 AND DEMANDING TO WITHDRAW THE SAME!

A Joint Meeting of the 5 Federations of the Defence Civilian Employees (AIDEF, INDWF, BPMS, NPDEF & AIBDEF) held on 1-7-2021 through video conference has unanimously resolved to condemn the most draconian Essential Defence Services Ordinance 2021 promulgated by the Government of India. It is most unfortunate to note the manner in which the Government of India is treating its committed and devoted workforce by snatching away the legal right of the Defence workers under the provisions of the Trade Union Act 1926 and Industrial Dispute Act 1947.

The right to strike is organically linked with the right to collective bargaining and it is an inalienable part of a protest by the working people, wherever the employer-employee relationship exists. The right to strike is integral of collective bargaining and this right is a legal process recognised by Industrial jurisprudence and supported by social justice. The right to strike has also been recognised by the various conventions of international labour organisations.

The draconian Ordinance has hurt the feelings of the Defence Civilian Employees since they have not resorted to any strike when the country was in need. Rather they have worked day and night without even going to their home for weeks together to fully equip the Armed Forces in all the wars the country has faced after independence including the Kargil war. Even in 2019 when the govt. took the arbitrary decision to Corporatise the Ordnance Factories, in the midst of one month strike, the Federations after considering the tense situation in the China Border has withdrawn the strike after 5 days.

Even during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown and curfew period, it is the employees of the Ordnance Factories who worked day and night risking their lives for producing PPEs and sanitisers required for the front line warriors. The workforce of the Ordnance Factories who always channelize their entire resources to equip the Armed Forces with the most modern weapons, equipment and troop comfort items doesn’t deserve such treatment from the Govt.

The Federations of the Defence civilian employees has decided to exercise this last tool of protest in an unavoidable situation since the Government of India has arbitrarily taken the decision to splinter the 41 Ordnance Factories into 7 non-viable corporations which are going to result in its closure in the coming days since Government has decided not to provide workload to these Ordnance Factories on the basis of nomination.

The decision taken by the Government is In clear violation of the past written agreements and assurances given by the Ministry of Defence that Ordnance Factories would not be corporatized. The Government has also ignored the various alternative and robust proposals given by the Federations to continue the Ordnance Factories in the present Government itself.

The arbitrary and biased decision of the Government takes away the rights and status of the Defence civilian employees who were recruited as Central Government Employees / Defence Civilian Employees under Article 309 of the Constitution of India and being paid from the consolidated fund of India. The Government failed to neither enter into a negotiated settlement with the Federations nor to refer the dispute for adjudication under the ID Act 1947 in spite of the failure report submitted by the CLC a fortnight before.

The joint meeting of the 5Federations condemns the various draconian provisions given in the Ordinance such as the dismissal of the employees without holding any inquiry, to arrest the employees who called the strike, participate in the strike and punishing with imprisonment up to 2 years. Fearing these draconian provisions the 76,000 employees will not surrender their demand to withdraw the Government decision of corporatisation and also to maintain the status of the employees as Central Government Employees / Defence Civilian Employees who were recruited under Article 309 of the Indian Constitution and the right to receive salary and all benefits from the consolidated fund of India.

The democratic and legal protest against the state authority misusing the state power against its own employees will continue. The draconian steps taken by the Government to suppress and crush the democratic rights of the Defence Civilian Employees are retrograde, undemocratic, and worker and is totally unacceptable to the Trade Unions and the entire workforce of the Defence Industry.

The joint meeting of the 5 Federations urges upon the Government of India to withdraw the draconian and colonial EDSO and instead of threatening and crushing its own employees should come forward to start immediate negotiations with the recognised Federations so as to ensure that the 220 years old pioneer Defence Industry viz Ordnance Factories and its employees are protected and saved. The joint meeting of the 5 Federations calls upon the Defence Civilian employees to remain united and fight back against all these retrograde actions of the Government.

The joint meeting also appeals to all the patriotic citizens of the country, all the Trade Unions, political parties, social service organisations to join hands with the Defence civilian employees in their struggle to save the most strategic Defence Industries from closure and sale and also in their struggle to save and protect the democratic and legal right of the strike. It is proven time and again that genuine grievances of the working class cannot be strangulated through draconian laws and police raj.
