No merger of DA - Finance Ministry

Finance Ministry once again ruled out any possibility of merger of D.A. with basic pay for central employees. In a letter addressed to National Council Secretary Shri Shiva Gopal Mishra on 17.6.2014, regarding the main demand of merger of dearness allowance with basic pay, Govt sticked on the resolution taken on 29.08.2008 in respect of definite proposal of sixth pay commission (No merger of D.A.). 

This has been a long standing demand for central employees and it will certainly dishearten them.
