PRESS RELEASE

NEW DELHI : February 21, 2014 – All India Railwaymen’s Federation (AIRF) has addressed the issue of merger of 100% Dearness  Allowance with Basic Pay for all purposes w.e.f. 01.01.2014 to Hob’ble Prime Minister of India and the Finance Minister, Government of India, as Dearness Allowance will cross 100%. Unfortunately, there is no heed to this issue despite agitations at length over the Indian Railway’s by the AIRF.

It is also unfortunate that due 10% Dearness Allowance w.e.f. 1^st January, 2014 has still not been announced by the Government of India.

AIRF earnestly requests the Government of India to immediately announce Dearness Allowance w.e.f. 1^st January, 2014 all along with merger of 100% Dearness Allowance with Basic Pay.
