In the case of laxity from the part of All India Unions, Circle Unions and  Divisional Unions the action will be taken by the core groups accordingly.
It is to be taken in mind that as per the constitution of unions the General Secretary of the unions is the Administrative Head of that union. Similarly Secretary General is the administrative Head for all the matter of affiliated unions.

Now April 2016 is coming but no “PRAVASH “ from General Secretaries with regard to increase in membership have been reported to Federations . This laxity is going to harm to status of unions as well as Federation.

Central Govt staff get 6 per cent dearness allowance hike on Holi

The Cabinet on Wednesday cleared a proposal to hike dearness allowance (DA) of Central government staff by 6 per cent to 125 per cent of the basic pay.
The decision will bring Holi cheer for 50 lakh central government employees and 58 lakh pensioners who will get an additional cushion against inflation.
"The Cabinet has decided to hike DA by 6 per cent for central government employees and pensioners,'' Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
The combined impact on the exchequer on account of both DA for serving government employees and Dearness Relief for pensioners would be of Rs 6,796.50 crore per annum and Rs 7,929.24 crore respectively, in 2016-17 (for a period of 14 months from January, 2016 to February, 2017), he said.
According to an official statement, this represents an increase of 6 percentage points over the existing rate of 119 percent of the Basic Pay/Pension, to compensate for price rise. The DA, which will benefit 50 lakh central government employees and 58 lakh pensioners, will go up from the existing 119 per cent to 125 per cent, it said.
Dearness Allowance is paid as a portion of basic pay of employees to neutralise the impact of inflation. Pensioners get Dearness Relief. The Centre revises DA twice a year on the basis of one year average of retail inflation for industrial workers as per a pre-determined formula. In September last year, DA was increased to 119 per cent from 113 per cent with effect from July 1, 2015.
