    Employees in organised sector atleast get periodiacal increase in their pay to offset pricehike.But what about millons of people working in unorgnised sectors who have no guaranteed pay structure/Social security scheems.Do we ourselves enhance pay of domestic help,servants working in our house,societies in consonance with increase in DA to us?

  2. Employees in organised sector atleast get periodical increase in their pay to offset price hike.But what about millions of people in unorganised sector who have no guaranteed pay-structure;social security measures? whether we in organised sector will ever be satisfied with regular pay hikes not linked with any measurable performane yardstics?

  3. Increased DA from 1.1.12 is not enough.pl. Caliculate correctly,and revise it.i think that it will be 9% da.as per increared price in r/o comodities.

  4. D.A.increase must be atleast 10% from January,2012.The proposed DA @7% is not sufficient as compared to increased in essential commodities,petroleum and other necessary materials.

  5. sir,what is the reason for non adding 50% D.A. in basic pay.
    govt.must be issue order for implimentation of above factor with out if & but.

  6. increase in D.A will go by hand with price hike of all the products….so no difference will be seen, i think.

    Step by step again DA will increase and hence price will also rise. We expect controlled prices and not DA hike. In fact proposed DA @7% is not sufficient as compared to increased inessential commodities and petrolium. As such there is need to control price rise which will certainly give relief to all of us. Its totally true that the method of calculation is not reflected with to day to day real spiraling prices of essential commodities in the market. It is believed that a rough calculation works out that D.A. increase must be atleast 10% from January, 2012. Okay something is better than Nothing

  8. In fact proposed DA @7% is not sufficient as compared to steep increased inessential commodities and petrolium.There is need to control price rise which will certainly give relief to all of us.

  9. It is very much doubtful that the method of calculation is not reflected with to day to day real spiraling prices of essential commodities in the market. It is believed that a rough calculation works out that D.A. increase must be atleast 10% from January, 2012. Anyway something is better than Nothing.

  10. ONCE AGAIN DA WILL INCREASE AND SO PRICE RISE. WE NEED CONTROLLED PRICES AND NOT DA HIKE.
