Why family planning allowance be abolished. This is injustice to those ladies who were encouraged by the earlier incentive related sterilization procedure.. Can our PM revert the irreversible procedure of tubectomy?

What will be the SDA rate in percentage as per 7 CPC?
Hard duty allowance for railway track maintener approve?
They should have included medical allowance for all staff. Now only those who claim medical reimbursement are benefitted. Lot of paper work and running around hospitals which is not possible by many. Hence medical allowance would have solved the problem. Reimbursement in inpatient cases only.
Over time allowance (ota) is abolished as shown in the table . That means from July ,2017 there will be no overtime duty. Now my question is that will there be any other allowance replacing ota or no?
I THINK NDA GOVERNMENT AGAINST FAMILY PLANNING THAT’S WHY THEY ABOLISHED FPA.PRIME MINISTER SHOULD LOOK INTO THE MATTER AND RETAINED THE FPA.
So No. 185 Training allowance should be abolished. Because in the battalion formation the security duty is more harder than Instructor duty. Everyone like to perform Instructor duty. Instructor duty are full save lives with their families. Instructor course are conducting every year and they may be obtained opportunity to perform instructor duty for getting at least 3-4 years save and peaceful life from Border /Security duty. Right to equality of Indian constitution. JAI HIND
How much Traveling Allowance is fixed in 7th Pay instead of existing 800/-
How can the government reduces HRA from 30% instead increasing in 7th cpc, all years putting service and waiting for 7cpc results deceiving the dreams of central govt. servents.
ramesh babu
The govt. has totally neglected the paramilitary forces of the country. .Even, a very meagre amount of allowance being paid to gallantry awardees for facing grave risks of life against the enemy,has not been revised. Will the HM, FM & the PM relook in to the pay & allowances of CPO’S
Not only against family planning. They are against all types of planning. Note that they abolished planning commission.
I think family planning should be well motivated and much attractive so that biggest problem which we are facing is population blast can be stopped some where.
I think NDA Government is totally in against of Family Planning in India, so they abolished Family Planning Allowance. Very good decision.
