PROBABLE D A FOR BANKERS FROM MAY 2011

There is a possibility of 3.15% [21 slabs]increase in D.A. for Bank employees for May, June and July 2011
The exact increase for DA cannot be given at this stage as GOI has yet to announce the CPI for the month of March, 2011. However, based on the CPI already announced for the month of Jan'11and Feb'11, we are doing this guess work. The CPI announced so far are as follows:-
Month CPI
January, 2011 4291
February, 2011 4222
March, 2011 Not Avlbl.
The CPI has gone done in February, 2011. The previous trends show that CPI is likely to remain at February, 2011 level or increase slightly. Assuming that there will be marginal increase in CPI for March, 2011 the revised DA is likely to be around 53.10%, for the months of May, June and July, 2011 (i.e. increase of 21 slabs). [The present DA is 49.95% for the months of February, March and April, 2011].

Retiring at 65?

RETIRING at 65? Sounds incredible? For lakhs of government employees who are hoping that the UPA-II may raise the retirement age of government employees to 62 years, the 10th June’s cabinet decision to raise the Nursing teachers’ retirement age to 65 is a healthy sign that their dream may too come true in the next few years.
The decision appears like an isolated case, but the Union Cabinet’s approval to the increase superannuation age from 60 years to 65 years for the nursing teaching faculty with MSc in nursing in Central government nursing institutions, may bring hopes to many government employees approaching the retirement age.
The decision, however, came with a justification which said that there is an acute shortage of nursing teachers with post-graduate degree in nursing. As a large number of posts of teachers with MSc (Nursing) are lying vacant in the Central government Nursing Institutions, and there has been a high attrition rate, this move may prevent further exodus of nursing teachers.
Yet, it gives enough room for many government employees to probably hope and pray that the retirement age for all government employees may go upto 62.
