Dear Comrades
Re: DA Freeze for the period of 18 months for Government Employees & Pensioners
Today Government of India has made announcement that increase in Dearness Relief for the period of 18 months from 1.1.2020 to 1.7.2021 for government employees and pensioners will not be considered in view of requirement of additional funds to deal with Coronavirus pandemic.
It will adversely 48 lakhs employees and 65 lakhs pensioners as they will be deprived of about Rs. 1.20 lakhs crores monetary benefit which they would have got in 3 six monthly review.
Worst affected will be pensioners who need more funds during these difficult time. This is shocking news for working class and we expresses our full sympathy for them.
2. After this announcement we have been getting several whats app messages and calls enquiring whether this will be applicable to bank pensioners.
In this connection, it may be mentioned that today’s notification is applicable only for Government employees and pensioners.
As for as bank pensioners are concerned their DR is governed by pension regulations and it is automatically reviewed half yearly,
Therefore, we would like to inform that bank pensioners need not be perturbed with this notification and need not lend credence to any rumor you come across in this regard.
3. However, as we are passing through very challenging and extraordinary time, we are keeping watch on issues concerning bank retirees.
BE POSITIVE, BE CONFIDENT
Yours Sincerely
( S. C. JAIN)

WHAT A DOUBLE STANDARD AIBEA!"Compensation for DA is to be paid after cost of living gone up due to price rise. In a country like India where there is unabated price rise and continued inflation, real wage is eroded and that is why DA is paid as an allowance. After the cost of living has gone up it is unfair to deny DA to employees"We are surprised to note that above statement coming from AIBEA which along with other unions signed joined note denying 100% DA compensation pre-2002 retirees who were drawing less pension and agreeing to implement 100% DA for pOst 2002 pensioners and all employees who were getting more pension and salary.AIBEA condemning govt for freezing DA for 18 months but unable to fight for 100% DA to pre-2002 pensioners for 18 years. AIBEA has to explain whether golden words coming from AIBEA like DA compensation is for raise in price index does not apply for pre-2002 retirees?May be AIBEA is issuing this circular as part of Communist party and not as trade union leader. As a trade union leafer AIBEA has afauled to protect DA of Bank pensioners for 18 years and has no moral right to question govt.
