Rajasthan hikes D.A by 2%. Order issued for employees and pensioners

The dearness allowance to employees and the dearness relief to pensioners will come into force with effect from January 1, 2018. Other state employees including those of Panchayat Samitis and District Councils, as well as their  pensioners  will also benefit from the increased 2 per cent dearness allowance, 

While the increased dearness allowance for January and February will be deposited in the general provident fund accounts of the employees, cash payments will be made from March onwards. The state government will have additional financial burden of about Rs 957 crore on account of increased benefits for the employees in the current financial year.

Expected pay scale for West Bengal employees

The sixth pay commission set up to propose revised salary structure of the state employees yet to make any recommendation to the Govt. despite of extending their terms regularly. The resentment of the employees are growing in each passing day as many of the state Govt.s have already implemented pay hike and more others to follow suit in the near future.

The employees are also aggrieved being denied of Dearness Allowance hike. A case in Calcutta High Court is going on in this regard.
Meanwhile a lot of queries are being raised about the new pay scale which may be suggested by the sixth pay commission. This blog has procured some news from unconfirmed sources. Though nothing of these may be treated as authentic, still we are publishing the information to satisfy the queries.

Existing Grade Pay                                      Probable Entry Pay
1700                                                                   17000
1800                                                                   18000
2600                                                                   23000
4100                                                                   34000
4400                                                                   36000   
4700                                                                   40000
4800                                                                   42000
5400                                                                   57000
5600                                                                   59000
Fitment factor may be proposed as 2.62 and the date of effect is likely from 01.01.2016.
Existing Pay in the Pay band + Grade Pay is likely to be multiplied by 2.62 to arrive new pay in the revised pay structure.
H.R A may be retained as 15% of new basic as present.
