IDA INCREASE FROM JANUARY 2021

All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers' ( AICPI IW) for the month of December2020 increased by 0.4 points and pegged at 119.9. If we convert that into 2001=100 series it will come to 345(Conversion Factor=2.88).Therefore IDA due from 1-1-2021 will be 171.5%. This will however be freezed as per DPE  orders dated 19-11-2020.This will be restored prospectively and will be subsumed in the cumulative revised be rate effective from 1-7-2021. No arrears from 1-10-2020 till 30- 6-2021 shall be paid

5.5% loss per month from October to December 2020. Now 5.5+6.1=11.6% loss per month from January to March 2021.

Correction: 119.9 is for November 2020, not December 2020. PSR

 BSNLMRS MEDICAL BILL PAYMENTS 

We have already posted regarding receipt of funds for MRS PAYMENT. BSNL CO has allotted fund for payment to hospitals in connection with inpatient treatment. Payment of reimbursement of  medical bills for OUTDOOR treatment with voucher. Fund allotted to each Circle will clear the bills upto 31.03.2019. No fund is allotted for Medical Allowance. Funds received by Circle by 2nd Dec.  1.Ch.TD. Payment is effected. 2.STP. WITHVOUCHER PAYMENT UPTO 31.3.2019  Cleared earlier. So no further payment. 3.STR.  Spoken with CAO today. Funds received is less. However he says payment will be made upto the bills dtd 31.3.2019 and hospitalisation bills. 3.TN CIRCLE. Instructions given to SSAs and CO to pass the bills of  all with voucher and hospitals inpatient bills both vendors and individual through SAP to Circle Office CSC. Payment is likely  to me made within 5 days. As a nutshell payment with vouchers and hospitalisation bills will be cleared upto 31.03.2019. When the request of pending allowance for 2018-19 is put up,  reply given by TNC is that  based on the left out fund if any the same will be considered.

Clarification on IDA

 All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (AICPI-IW) is communicated By Labour Bureau, with it’s Head Quarters at Shimla. This is announced through a Press Release on the  last working day of the month.  For example  October Index is announced on 27th of November which is being the last working day.

 From September , 2020 the base year of the said Index is changed to 2016=100 for announcing AICPI-IW and to get the Index in  2001=100 series, a conversion factor is given as 2.88. 

This Index is being followed by Central Government, State Governments, PSUs, Banks, Road Transports etc for granting DA to its employees and Pensioners.

Our IDA rate (which is applicable to all PSUs) is determined based on the increase/decrease in the Three months  average of AICPI-IW. 

AICPI_IW for September,2020 is 118.1 (originally announced as 118 and now decided to announce with ONE decimal point.)

AICPI-IW for October,2020 is 119.5

If we convert these figures into 2001=100 series September Index  will be  340, October  Index  will be 344. 

For announcing  IDA admissible from 1st January,2021, we require Index figure of November, which will be announced on 31st December,2020.

However the rates of IDA as effective from   01-10-2020, 01-01-2021 and 01-04-2021 Will be restored prospectively and will be subsumed  in the cumulative Revised rate effective from 01-07-2021. No arrears from 01-10-2020 to 30-06-2021 shall be paid as per orders of DPE dated 19th Nov,2020

We will continue to receive IDA @159.9% till June,2021.

Let us wait.
