Wait more for IR

Entire January of new year 2007 has been passed and no signal from Government side about interim relief to the employee. Central Govt. employees are eagerly waiting for IR. Our sources has informed that there is some file movement in the Ministry, but no action has been taken yet. Meanwhile there are many rumours regarding IR are floating around in the employee circle :

• that there will be IR @10% of the Basic Pay.
• that there will be a flat Rs. 1000/- IR
• that IR will in the two groups viz. Rs.1000/- and Rs.2000/- flat depending upon the category of the employee/officers.
• that total IR will be 10-20% of the Basic Pay for the entire term of Six Pay Commission, so Govt. will give this IR in phases and first phase will have 7.5% of the Basic Pay.

Insiders say that chances are more for the number 3 rumour.

But it has emerged that no IR is comming before end of March or early April. Since inflation is rising more that 6%, Govt. has to give DA also to the employee at the higher side, so for IR Govt. has make arrangement in the budget itself.
