Dear Sirs,

Consequently, dearness allowance to employees is payable for 535 slabs for the period February, March & April 2013 i.e. an increase of 25 slabs over the current level.

In terms of clause 7 of the 9th Bipartite Settlement dated 27.04.2010 and clause 3 of the joint Note dated 27.04.2010, the rate of dearness allowance payable to workmen and officer employees for the months of February, March & April 2013 shall be 80.25 % of ‘pay’. While arriving at dearness allowance payable, decimals from third place may please be ignored.
