Department
of Principal Controller of Defence Accounts (Pensions) has published the
order regarding the subject of 'Non payment of Dearness Relief on Disability
Element While on Re-Employment'...
Principal
Controller of Defence Accounts (Pensions)

Ghat, Allahabad - 211014
Circular
No. 166
No.
AT/Tech/263- XVI
O/o
the Pr. C.D.A. (P), Allahahad
Date:
07.03.2013
Sub:
- Non payment of Dearness Relief on Disability Element While on Re
Employment.
The
payment of dearness relief during re-employment / employment / permanently
absorption of pensioners / family pensioners under the Central or State
Government or in a Statutory Corporation / Company / Body / Bank under them
in India or abroad is not being regulated correctly by various Pension
Disbursing Authorities. Where some Pension Disbursing Authorities are
disallowing dearness relief to re-employed pensioner of commissioned officer
on disability element, others are allowing in few cases. Similar irregularities
have
been noticed in case of pensioners of PBOR. The instances of not allowing
dearness relief to family pensioners during their employment are also drawing
attention of this office/Ministry from time to time. The position on the
subject is though clearly stipulated in Ministry of Personnel, Public
Grievances & Pensions. Deptt of P&PW letter No. 45/73/97-P&PW(G)
dt. 2nd July, 1999 and Ministry of Defence letter No. 79(1 )/95/D
(Pen/Services) dated 2th August 2000 and Deptt of P&PW UO No. 41/42/2007-P&PW(G)
dt. 3-4-2008. However, position is re-clarified as under for uniform
implementation of above orders.
(a)
In case of re-employed pensioners who hold Group 'A’ post or posts of the
ranks of commissioned officers at the time of their re-employment will not he
entitled to any dearness relief on pension on the fact that:
(i)
A certain portion of pension is taken into account and is not entirely
ignored.
(ii)
The pay in the post of re-employment is not required to he fixed at the
minimum of the scale in all cases, and
(iii)
Dearness allowance at the rates applicable from time to time is also
admissible on the pay fixed on re-employment.
(b)(i)
The entire pension admissible is to be ignored in the case of civilian
pensioner who held posts below Group 'A’ and those ex-servicemen who held
posts below the ranks of commissioned officers, at the time of their
retirement. Their pay on re-employment is to be fixed at the minimum of the
pay scale of the post in which they are re-employed. Such civilian pensioners
will consequently be entitled to dearness relief on their pension at the
rates applicable from time to time.
(b)(ii)
The ex-servicemen (PBOR) who retired before attaining the age of 55 years and
re-employed thereafter and their pay fixed at a higher stage because of
advance increments and no protection of the last pay drawn is being given,
the pay should he treated as fixed at a minimum only for the purpose of
ignoring the entire pension and allowing dearness relief on pension.
(c)
The disability element is part of disability pension. therefore position
explained at a & h above will also apply for regulating dearness relief
on disability element during re-employment of pensioner drawing
disability
pension.
(d)
The family pension received by the eligible central Govt. employees/Armed
Forces pensioners is, in any case, not taken into account in determining
their pay on employment therefore, dearness relief at the rates applicable
from time to time shall he admissible on their family pension.
Incorrect
payment of pension is not only infringement of Govt. orders but also cause of
concern to pensioners. It is, therefore, requested o instruct Pension Paying
Branches / CPPC / Offices / Treasuries under your jurisdictions to regulate
the payment of dearness relief on pension /family pension on re-employment /
employment / permanently absorption of pensioners/family pensioners as
explained above.

Early Decision – No need to pay Arrears
on DA and 7th CPC
Decision in the right time –will avoid
more funds to allocate as arrears!
At last, the most eagerly awaited
announcement of additional dearness allowance has been declared by the
cabinet, due from January 2013 to Central Government employees and
Pensioners.
In general the announcement of dearness
allowance has been made in the month of March every year. But this year this
has been declared in the month of April. Though it was announced after some
delay, there is no any loss, as the dearness allowance hike has to be paid
with effect from 01-01-2013.
Before this announcement, there was a
rumour that 50% dearness allowance will be merged with basic pay or otherwise
dearness allowance will not be hiked, but the cabinet committee decision
cleared these doubts.
Employees and Pensioners will get one
more month arrears from January to April. Government has to
allocate more funds as arrear due to delay.
If the decisions concluded in the right
time, there will be no chance to allocate more fund for the payment of
arrears and also prevent practical problems to accounting staff.
Even the National anomaly committee,
after six years it was formed, has not solved all the problems raised due to
the implementation of 6th CPC.
After the implementation of 6th CPC in
2008 with effect from 01.01.2006 , arrears had to be paid to Central
Government servants. To avoid the additional financial burden, the Central
Government decided to pay the arrears’ in two installments in 2008 and 2009.
For this, government had to allocate more fund from budget. It can be avoided
by early constitution of 7th pay commission.
So, to find the solution to all
including disbursing authorities, setting up of 7th Central Pay Commission at
early stage to implement in the right time, the same is demanding by the
central trade unions and associations.
Every decision in the right time –will
avoid more funds to allocate as arrears!

No
merger of D.A. but seventh pay commission likely this year
According
to our sources in New Delhi, there is no chance of any merger of Dearness
Allowance with basic pay as demanded by the associations. But the Government
is considering the formation of seventh pay commission.
The
seventh CPC is scheduled to be effective from 1.1.2016 and if it is formed
this year, there will be ample time to finalize it’s recommendations.
Moreover, if it is not effective from an earlier date, the Govt. will be free
from any burden of paying arrears, which may adversely effect the fiscal
situation.
Most
significantly, in the eve of general election, the Govt. may spread a
"feel good" situation among the employees without having to pay an
extra penny from the exchequer. In the other hand merging D.A. with basic pay
will lead to a considerable expense and as there is definite negative
recommendation of sixth CPC in this respect, Govt. can easily deny this
demand.
After
formation of seventh CPC, if the ruling party fails to come back in the
corridors of power, the entire liability will have to be borne by the new
Govt. So, it’s a win win situation of the ruling party and most likely, it
will be announced in the later half of the year.
