    New Delhi, Mar, 02: Free ration scheme under NFSA to distribute wheat, rice, millet and sugar.

    The Free Ration Scheme 2023 is a lifeline for the poor across India. With the National Food Security Act (NFSA), the government is providing free ration to over 80 crore people in the country until December 2023. The good news is that all ration card holders will receive free ration before Holi 2023. The government has issued a letter to this effect, announcing that in addition to wheat and rice, millet will also be distributed for free, and sugar will be provided to Antyodaya card holders.

    The distribution of free ration (wheat-rice-millet) will commence on March 5, 2023, and will continue until March 20, 2023, in Uttar Pradesh. Eligible household cardholders will receive 5 kg of free ration (2 kg wheat, 2 kg rice, and 1 kg millet) per unit, while Antyodaya card holders will receive 35 kg (14 kg wheat, 20 kg rice, and 1 kg millet) for free. Wheat-rice was already distributed in the previous month.

    Antyodaya card holders will also receive 3 kg of sugar during the first three months of this year (January-February and March). The cardholder will have to pay Rs 18 per kg and Rs 54 for 3 kg, and the amount should be paid separately. Ration distribution will be done once a month, and in March, cardholders will receive ration (wheat-rice-millet) for that month.

    Unfortunately, the delay in lifting caused the ration to be distributed late in the state. However, the government ensures that under NFSA, free ration will be available to all cardholders across the country until December 2023. The Free Ration Scheme 2023 has been a boon for millions of people, providing them with much-needed relief during these difficult times.

  • DA/DR Hike: Central employees will get gift before Holi? 4% hike

    [ad_1]

    7th Pay Commission Update: In September 2021, the central government had increased the dearness allowance of central employees from 34 percent to 38 percent by 4 percent. Now once again it is expected to increase by four percent.

    The festival of Holi is about to come and on this festival of colors, the central employees can have a bat. In fact, it is expected that the central government can give a big gift to the employees and pensioners by increasing the dearness allowance. Employees organizations are expecting 4% DA/DR Hike. If this happens, then their dearness allowance will increase from 38 percent to 42 percent and there will be a bumper increase in the salary of central employees.

     

    Lakhs of employees-pensioners will be benefited

    If the government decides to increase the dearness allowance before Holi, then it will benefit about 48 lakh central employees and 63 lakh pensioners.

    However, no announcement has been made by the government regarding DA Hike yet. But according to media reports, the Center can give gifts to its employees and pensioners before Holi.

    Please tell here that there has been a rule to increase DA / DR by the Central Government from the beginning of January to the end of July every year. However, there has been a delay in the last few years.

    This will be the calculation after the DA increase

    . Now once again it is expected to increase by four percent. If we look at the salary, then if the basic pay of a central employee is Rs 1,8000, then at the rate of 38 per cent, dearness allowance of Rs 6,840 is made.

    On the other hand, if this DA becomes 42 percent, then the DA of the employee will increase to Rs 7,560.

    If we look at the maximum basic pay, then the dearness allowance on the basis of Rs 56,000 becomes Rs 21,280. Now if it is seen according to the increase of four percent, then it will jump to Rs.23,520.

    According to this, employees with minimum basic salary will get a benefit of Rs 720 every month and Rs 8,640 annually. On the other hand, the salary of employees with maximum basic salary will see an increase of Rs 2,240 every month, which will be Rs 26,880 annually.

    That’s why the expectation increased among the employees

    according to media reports, the CPI-IW for December 2022 released to the employee organizations in the month of January was 132.3. According to this, an increase of more than four per cent is expected in the dearness allowance.

    Such expectation of increase in DA/DR has also intensified because the Narendra Modi government at the center can announce gifts for the central employees before the Lok Sabha elections to be held in the year 2024.
    Although, this update is according to the news released in the media, but the final decision on this has to be taken by the government.
