A delegation of AIDEF met Defence Minister Shri.Manohar Parrikar on 1.1/2015 and conveyed the views of the employees that Ordnance Factories should not be privatised. The Ordnance Factories should not be privatised in view of the agreernent with the recognised Federations.

New Delhi, the 27th September, 2013

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Subject : Grant of Non-Productivity Linked Bonus (ad-hoc bonus) to Central Government Employees for the year 2012-13.

The undersigned is directed to convey the sanction of the President to the grant of Non-Productivity Linked Bonus (Ad-hoc Bonus) equivalent to 30 days emoluments for the accounting year 2012-13 to the Central Government employees in Groups ‘C’ and ‘D’ and all non-gazetted employees in Group ‘B’ who are not covered by any Productivity Linked Bonus Scheme. The calculation ceiling for payment of ad-hoc Bonus under these orders shall continue to be monthly emoluments of Rs. 3500/-, as hitherto. The payment of ad-hoc Bonus under these orders will also be admissible to the eligible employees of Central Para Military Forces and Armed Forces. The orders will be deemed to be extended to the employees of Union Territory Administration which follow the Central Government pattern of emoluments and are not covered by any other bonus or ex-gratia scheme.

2. The benefit will be admissible subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) Only those employees who were in service as on 31.3.2013 and have rendered at least six months of continuous service during the year 2012-13 will be eligible for payment under these orders. Pro-rata payment will be admissible to the eligible employees for period of continuous service during the year from six months to a full year, the eligibility period being taken in terms of number of months of service (rounded off to the nearest number of months).

(ii) The quantum of Non-PLB (ad-hoc bonus) will be worked out on the basis of average emoluments/calculation ceiling whichever is lower. To calculate Non-PLB (Ad-hoc bonus) for one day, the average emoluments in a year will be divided by 30.4 (average number of days in a month). This will thereafter be multiplied by the number of days of bonus granted. To illustrate, taking the calculation ceiling of monthly emoluments of Rs, 3500 (where actual average emoluments exceed Rs. 3500), Non-PLB (Ad-hoc Bonus) for thirty days would work out to Rs.3500×30/30.4 = Rs.3453.95 (rounded offto Rs.3454/-).

(iii) The casual labour who have worked in offices following a 6 days week for at least 240 days for each year for 3 years or more(206 days in each year for 3 years or more in the case of offices observIng 5 days week), will be eligible for this Non PLB (Ad-hoc Bonus) Payment. The amount of Non-PLB (ad-hoc bonus) payable will be (Rs.1200×30/30.4 i.e.Rs.1184.21(rounded off to Rs,1184/-). In cases where the actual emoluments fall below Rs.1200/- p.m., the amount will be calculated on actual monthly emoluments.

(iv) All payments under these orders will be rounded off to the nearest rupee.

(v) The clarificatory orders issued vide this Ministry’s OM No.F.14(10)-E. Coord/88 dated 4.10.1988, as amended from time to time, would hold good.

3. The expenditure on this account will be debitable to the respective Heads to which the pay and allowances of these employees are debited.

Calculation of DA(Dearness Allowance) Rates

•     DA rates for Government employees are to be announced half yearly which will be applicable from first January and First July.
•     On implementation of Sixth Pay Commission recommendations with effect from 01.01.2006 a new method of calculation of DA (dearness allowance) rates is adopted by Central (including Railways)and State Governments.
•     DA rates are fixed on the basis of All India Consumer Price Index (AICPI) for industrial workers with Base year as 2001.

Method of Calculation
DA is calculated using the following formulae:

Dearness Allowance = (Avg of AICPI for the past 12 months – 115.76)*100/115.76
(Fractions are ignored)

The figure 115.76 signifies the average of price index from Jan 2005 to Dec 2005.

Example: To calculate Jan 2013 DA rate Price index average from Jan 2012 to Dec 2012 is taken.

AICPI data for Jan 2012 to Dec 2012 as per Labour Bureau, Department Statistics, Government of India website is as follows:

Dearness allowance (01.01.2013)=( 209.33-115.76)*100/115.76=80.83

• DA  (after ignoring fraction)=80 %
• So Rate of DA expected from 01.01.2013 is 80 %
• The rate of increase will be 8% (72% to 80%).

The post Method of Calculation of Dearness Allowance and Expected DA Increase from 2013 appeared first on CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES NEWS.

The Dearness allowance is based on All India Consumer Price Index. The Dearness allowance is granted to compensate the price increase above 536 points (Base Year 1982=100) [115.763 Points (Base Year 2001=100)], to which the revised pay scales relate. This will be approved twice a year, payable from 1st January and 1st July. The twelve monthly average CPI above 536/115.763 points is determined twice in a year for the period ending December and June.

For arriving at Dearness allowance increase we need to know the All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers [CPI(IW)] for the previous six months. For Dearness allowance revision w.e.f 1st January of a year, the CPI of July to Dec are required. For Dearness allowance revision w.e.f. 1st July of a year, CPI of Jan to Jun are required and so on.

The average CPI of the twelve months is then taken for calculation and the following formula is used :

New rate of Dearness allowance = (Average CPI for 12 months – 115.763 x 100) / 115.763

Additional rate of Dearness allowance = New DA rate – Old DA rate

The All India Consumer Price Index Numbers will be notified by the Labour Bureau on the last day of next month on its official website.

Example as follows…
AICPIN for the months for
Jul-11 193
Aug-11 194
Sep-11 197
Oct-11 198
Nov-11 199
Dec-11 197
Jan-12 198
Feb-12 199
Mar-12 201
Apr-12 205
May-12 206
Jun-12 208

Total = 2395
Average = 199.58

Calculation as follows…

2395 – 115.763 x 100
—————————- = 72.41
115.763

The total Dearness allowance with effect from Jan 2012 will be 72%.
