DA from Jan 11 .....

The AICPI for all the 12 months are now published in Labour Bureau website. According to this Website the AICPI-IW for 12 months are given below. January-172 Febraury-170 March-170 April-170 May-172 June-174 July-178 August-178 September-179 October-181 November-182 December-185 Now the prediction and calculation over Dearness Allowance will come to an end. According to the All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers for the last 12 months, it is expected that the Dearness Allowance will be 51% from January 2011.As we expected earlier, additional 6% will be added to the existing D.A of 45%..Hence we can expect that 51% Dearness Allowance will be paid to all the Central Government Employees from January 2011, if so government decides. The Government may take a decision in this matter by first week of March 2011. Some of our viewers have raised the same question again and again in the comments forum that if D.A crosses 50% level whether it would be merged with D.A or not. It has been clarified that the D.A will not be merged with basic pay since it was not recommended by 6CPC. But if the D.A crosses 50% level, some of the Allowances, which are compensatory in nature, will be raised by 25% as per the recommendation of 6CPC. These Allowances are, 1. Children Education Assistance & Reimbursement of Tuition Fee 2. Advances for purchase of Bicycle Advacne, Warm clothing Advance, Festival Advance, Natural Calamity Advance 3. Special Compensatory Hill Area Allowance 4. Special Compensatory Scheduled / Tribal Area Allowance 5. Project Allowance 6. Special Compensatory (Remote Locality) Allowance 7. Cycle Maintenance Allowance 8. Mileage for road journey all components of daily allowance on tour, rate of transportation of personal effects. 9. Rates of Conveyance Allowance under SR-25 10. Washing Allowance 11. Split Duty Allowance 12. Special Allowance for Child Care for Women with Disabilities and Education Allowance for disabled children 13. Cash Handling Allowance 14. Risk Allowance 15. Post Graduate Allowance 16. Desk Allowance 17. Bad Climate Allowance

Personalised Stamps from India Post - My Stamp

Now your Face also on Stamps !!

Department of Post to launch Customized stamps. Next time when you post an envelop, you can have a portrait of yours struck on the place of stamp !!. 


This is a new scheme named as "My Stamp"  which will be introduced in the World Philatelic Exhibition - Indipex 2011 to be held at New Delhi next week. 

 

The stamp will have two parts-the currency part and the photograph-detachable from each other. If the experiment with individual consumers is successful, Indian companies may also be allowed to carry their own logos and postage stationery in future, the spokeswoman added.

Thus Infosys, Wipro or Reliance may have its logo embedded in postage stationery, which can be personalised when a company achieves a certain milestone, as well. These milestones can be a large deal, a new CEO, an international listing or a big acquisition, which the company would like to be highlighted to its key audience.

For now, personalised postage is allowed only for individual citizens. One can also bring one's own or spouse's photo with an ID card, to have it converted into a personalised stamp.

My Stamp Features

* Will be Introduced in World Philatelic Exhibition which is to be held in Delhi Next Week.
* You can your Face on the stamp.
* Currently applicable to Individuals only.
* Customer has to bring one's own or spouse's photo with an ID Card.
* Rs 150 for 8 stamp sheets.
* Stamp Background in 6 themes.
* Themes include Taj Mahal, Tale of Pancha Tantra, Trains, Wildlife, Aeroplanes and Sun Signs.
* Initially available in selected Post offices only.

"'My Stamp' is a wonderful way to celebrate special occasions such as engagements, birth of a baby, or to send as greetings to loved ones,"
