To
Shri Narendra Modi Prime Minister Government of India, New Delhi.
Date: 10.01.2021
Respected Shri Narendra Modi ji,
I write to bring to your attention a matter affecting the rights and
entitlements of Central Government employees in light of actions taken
by the Finance Ministry. Deviating from the decision of the Cabinet to
release 4% additional Dearness Allowance (DA) in light of the Covid-19
pandemic , the Ministry of Finance on 23rd April 2020 issued an order
for freezing of DA to the central govt. employees and DR to the
pensioners till July 2021. Effectively, these actions, amidst a
pandemic, have subjected the Central Govt. employees and pensioners to
undue financial hardship.
Successive Central Pay Commissions have dealt in detail about the
payment of DA to the Central Govt. employees and its importance to the
working conditions of Central Govt. Employees. The decision by the
Finance Ministry is in complete disregard to the rights of these workers
and the reasons for the grant of such an allowance by the Cabinet. The
dearness allowance (DA) stems from the need to protect the erosion in
the real value of basic salary on account of inflation and thereby
provides employees with the ability to deal with the ever-increasing
inflation in the country, even in their retirement. The Covid-19
pandemic has taken an unbearable toll on the lives of all people and
while many have been able to avoid the pandemic at its deadliest,
Central Govt. Employees have worked tirelessly to keep the country
moving and their service to the nation cannot be ignored. Many of these
workers have even succumbed to the deadly coronavirus.
In view of the above, I request you to kindly intervene in the matter
and reconsider the decision, since the employees who have
retired/retiring w.e.f. 01/01/2020 are not getting the benefit of the DA
increase in their terminal benefits, such as leave encashment, gratuity
etc. I once again request you to withdraw the decision taken by the
Government to freeze the 3 installments of DA due for the employees and
the pensioners and release the same to them at the earliest. The
Government must ensure that its employees are treated with dignity and
their rights are not compromised due to governmental apathy.
Yours sincerely

CSSS promotion orders 2021
2. The ad-hoc promotion orders had to be made to address the urgent
requirement of various cadre units for manpower at various levels.
However, it is seen that a number of officers have not joined. It may be
appreciated that ad-hoc promotion is resorted to as a special
dispensation for ensuring efficiency in Government’s functioning. The
non-joining of officers is defeating the very purpose for which these
ad-hoc promotions were made.
3. Hence, in partial modification of the Orders mentioned in para-1
above, all the Cadre Units are hereby directed to issue instructions to
the promoted officers in all grades, who have not yet assumed the charge
of the posts, to assume the charge immediately and not later than
15.01.2021, failing which the promotion orders with respect to
non-joinee Officers, shall be liable to be withdrawn, apart from
debarment from ad-hoc promotion or other suitable consequences. Further,
the vacancies on this account shall be filled up by considering
eligible officers next in order of seniority.
4. The cadre units are also requested to submit a report by 15.01.2021 to this Department at email: bhagirathjha.68[at]gov.in
5. All the concerned Ministries/ Departments are hereby requested to
forward the list of officers who have not assumed the charge of the post
on promotion by 15.01.2021, 03:30 P.M. on the email id mentioned above.
