AIBEA/GS/2025/027 15-2-2025 Shri Alok Chandra,Director General, Labour Bureau, Ministry of Labour and Employment, Govt. of India, Shram Bureau Bhawan, Sector 38 (West), CHANDIGARH-160036
Sir,
You are aware that the Dearness Allowance for the employees, workers and pensioners, etc. is being paid based on the variation in Consumer Price Index published by your Office. All these years, these Index figures were being published regularly on time as per the calendar schedule of your Bureau, i.e. the Index of a month was being published by the end of the next month. For example, the Index of January by the end of February. However, for the past nearly one year, the publication of the monthly Consumer Price Index is regularly irregular and not published on time. This is creating difficulties for the employers and managements to reflect the DA increase in the wages paid. To cite the current example, the Index for the month of December, 2024 which otherwise would have been published on 31st January, 2025 is yet to be published by your Bureau. You will appreciate that Bank managements have to incorporate the last quarterly Index figures in order to prepare the salary slips/pension slip for payment of the salary and pension payable for the month of February, 2025. In the absence of Index figures for the month of December, 2024, managements are unable to work out the salary slips/pension slips. You will further appreciate that there are more than 15 lacs of employees/ officers and pensioners for whom the salary and pension amount have to be processed by the Banks which process normally starts by the middle of the month. We shall thank you to expedite the publication of the Index figures for the month of December, 2024. Thanking you, Yours sincerely, C.H.VENKATACHALAM GENERAL SECRETARY Copy to: Secretary, DFS, New Delhi/ CLC, New Delhi
