Sub: Enhancement in the rate of various allowances again by 25% as a result of enhancement of Dearness Allowance to 100% w.e.f. 01.01.2014.
1. In accordance with the recommendations of VI CPC, the rates of various allowances admissible to different categories of Railway staff were doubled. The VI CPC while making recommendations in this regard had also recommended that the rates of these Allowances will be increased by 25% every time the Dearness Allowance goes up by 50%. Railway Board accordingly issued instructions in respect of various allowances listed in the enclosed Annexure.
2. Consequent upon the enhancement in the rate of Dearness Allowance to 51% from 01.01.2011 it was reiterated vide Board’s letter No.E(P&A)I-2011/SP-I/Misc-1, dated 13.06.2011 (RBE No. 88/2011) that the rates of allowances shall increase by 25%.
3. The rate of Dearness Allowance has now been enhanced to 100% w.e.f. 01.01.2014. In order to dispel any doubts that may arise in the railways, it is clarified that the rates of allowances listed in the enclosed Annexure shall again increase by 25% (on original VI CPC rates prescribed by Ministry of Railways) with Dearness Allowance now again having gone up by 50% w.e.f. 01.01.2014.
4. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
5. There is no change in the other terms and conditions for grant of these allowances.
