How much total DA is given to central govt employees since Jan, 2016 till July 2017?
Sir,
The Notional pay calculations in respect of Pre 2006 Pensioners seems to be OK. But I have a difference of opinion in respect of Post 2006 and pre 2016 pensioners who have retired from Jan 1015 till June 2015. They have invariably completed 6 months or above after their last increment viz july 2014.
Their Notional Pay should be increased by one increment and not thier last pay drawn. These benefits have been neutralised in respect of Pre 2006 retirees/official retired/died after july 1,2015.
DA TABLE IS VERY INFORMATIVE.PL GO ON PUBLISHING.
Thanks to The Chief Minister
D A table is very much informative
