Expected DA from January 2016 Calculation – Fitment Factor of 7th CPC

Expected DA Calculation will play vital role in determining Fitment Factor of 7th CPC

Expected DA from January 2016 likely to change the Fitment Factor of 7th CPC

At the end of the Sixth CPC Regime all the Central Government servants are at the verge of receiving their last installment of Dearness Allowance in Sixth Pay Commission. Almost the DA from January 2016 will be finalized after the release of AICPIN for the month of December 2015. The eleven months AICPIN Points released from January 2015 to November 2015 by Labour Bureau suggests that there is a possibility to get 6 to 7 percent hike in DA from January 2016. But the AICPIN for the Month of December will determine the exact rate of hike in Dearness Allowance from Jan 2016.

The rate of DA, as expected by 7th Pay commission, if arrived at 125 % with 6% hike there will be no change in Fitment factor. Because the Fitment Factor 2.57 is arrived by adding the 125% DA, at the rate anticipated on 1.1.2016. If AICPIN for December 2015 necessitates changing the expected DA from 125% to the level of 126 % with hike of 7%, then there will be certainly an impact in the Fitment Factor of 7th CPC. In that case, there will be change in decimals of fitment factor

So, Expected DA from January 2016 will play vital role in determining Fitment Factor if it increases from expected level of 125% to 126%.

What will be the fitment factor if DA reaches at 126% from January 2016.

When it was anticipated that the DA will be 125 % from January 2016, The 7th Pay Commission stated in the Report that

“This fitment factor of 2.57 is being proposed to be applied uniformly for all employees. It includes a factor of 2.25 on account of DA neutralization, assuming that the rate of Dearness Allowance would be 125 percent at the time of implementation of the new pay. Accordingly, the actual raise/fitment being recommended is 14.29 percent”

If 126% of DA has to be taken into account for arriving Fitment factor with the recommended 14.29 % increase..

The Revised Fitment Factor will be as follows

The fitment factor after DA neutralization = 2.26

Increase of 14.29% over 2.26 = 0.32

Total (2.26+0.32) = 2.58

Subject: - Raising of Bonus Payment Ceiling to the Central Government   Employees.

Reference: - The payment of Bonus (Amendment) Bill 2015. 

Sir,

The  Payment   of  Bonus  (Amendment)    Bill  2015  was  passed  by both  the  houses  of the Parliament. The amendment   provides that the existing Ceiling limit of Bonus for 30 days Rs. 3,500/- is enhanced   to Rs. 7,000/- for 30 days.  This amendment   will take effect  from 01.04.2014 (A  copy  of the Bill  passed  in the Parliament   is enclosed   for your  kind  ready reference).

You  are  aware  that  any  change   in Bonus  Act  would  be  an  indicator   while  deciding  the Payment  of Bonus  to the Central  Government   Employees.   Accordingly,   every time when Bonus Act   is amended    raising   the payment   ceiling   limit,   it   is extended   to   Central Government   Employees   also.  This issue was also raised by the Staff Side in the Standing Committee   Meeting of National  Council  (JCM) held on 09th October, 2015.

It  is  therefore   requested   that  steps   may  be  taken  for  issuing   Government    Orders   for enhancing the Bonus  Payment   Ceiling  limit of Central  Government    Employees   both PLB and Adhoc Bonus to Rs. 7,000/-  w.e.f  01.04.2014  and arrears of PLB and Adhoc Bonus for the year 2014-2015  may be paid to the employees.

An earlier and favorable   action is solicited.

Thanking you,  

Yours Sincerely,

Dear Brother,

The following issues be considered for discussion in the meeting to be held with the Department of Pension & Pensioners Welfare:-

(i) Issuance of revised PPOs:-

Representations are received that the revised PPOs have not been issued to the Pensioners in Railways and other departments. It would therefore be necessary to obtain status report from each ministry and fix target date for completion of the issuance of revised PPOs to all pensioners.

(ii) Supply of complete copy of settlement file to the Pensioners at the time of retirement

– Instructions to Ministries may be issued.

(iii) Pension Adalats are not conducted regularly as per laid down policy. Action needs to be taken to see that pension Adalats are held regularly.

Yours fraternally,
