Dear Sir, I am regularly following the various issues discussed in this forum. I am grateful for the many voluntary bits of help supplied by the experts.
I have the following query for which I seek an expert opinion. In many private unaided schools, the staff is given the Dearness Allowance. Is it mandatory that all employees in the same institution must get the same percentage of DA?
I found it is practiced in some of such institutions that for two years they keep an employee with consolidated pay under probation, during which no DA is paid. On the third year, an employee is made a regular employee, and at that time that regular employee is also given the same percentage of DA enjoyed by all the other employees. Is it enough that the newly regularized employee be given a smaller percentage of DA and not the same percentage as that of the already regularized employees who have been working in the institution for many years. Thanking you in advance, Xavier.
