The clause 5 was introduced in the last OM as most of the CPSUs failed to fill up the information on CPSE survey portal.
Now that the CPSE have filled up the portal, DPE has restored its original format. The aforesaid order vindicates the stand of AIGETOA that IDA increase should not have been made a issue as the government can not deny increase in Dearness Allowance citing non affordability due to losses.
To the best of our knowledge, The Jan to March IDA increase is also going to be implemented soon.
Now one association will start a rhetoric of having brought this order by going to moon and stars to obtain this but the fact remains that the issue was always procedural in nature and everything was just procedural in nature. Their own website exposes their false claims.
We again emphasize and request that larger need is to concentrate on the actual core issues of Pay, Pension, Promotions, 3rd PRC, Residuals of 2nd PRC and issues pertaining to BSNL viability. Sooner they realize, better it would be.
