7th Pay Commission: Taking cues from Centre, the Rajasthan state government has hiked the Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) paid to its staff and pensioners.

Over 7,000 GSRTC buses are off the roads since midnight, parked in various depots of the corporation across the state.

The CG employees, who are currently getting a minimum pay of Rs 18,000, have been demanding an increase of Rs 8,000 or an increase in the fitment factor by 3.68 times from the existing 2.57 times.

The move is likely to benefit 30,000 teaching and equivalent staff in central universities and another 5,500 in deemed-to-be universities.

While the cash and treasury employees will now get allowance between Rs 700 and Rs 1,000, the increase in the running allowance would lead to a hike of about Rs 12,000-25,000 in the monthly salaries of the railway employees.

Although the revamped NPS scheme keeps the employees' contribution intact, the increased government contribution will significantly raise the corpus built by their retirement at 60 years.

The next cabinet meeting is expected to take up the long-standing demand of central government employees for a hike in minimum pay as well as the fitment factor.

This move will allow around 2.6 lakh Gramin Dak Sevaks under the Department of Posts under the Ministry of Communications to request voluntary transfer under certain circumstances.
