Method of wage revision followed in August 1997‏


Referring to the post of Mr SN to know how the wage revision was effected on 1/8/1997, I believe that the following methodology was followed:-

The DA applicable for AICPI 1740 as at 1/8/1997 was merged with the existing Basic Pay. On this merged total a weightage (of % increase) was applied on 1/8/1997 on the merged figure was arrived at, which became the revised Basic Pay.

The tapering DA formula applicable to in-service employees was only followed as per 1/8/1992 rates and not the 100% neutralised rate of 0.35%.

I attach an example of AO with a Basic Pay of Rs 7590 before revision and the Basic Pay became Rs 12575 after revision on 1/8/1997 which worked out to 11.54% more than the merged Basic Pay plus DA as at 1/8/1997. 11.25% was only an average and it varied according to cadre and stages in the scale.

This is what I presume that LIC must have done while revising wages on 1/8/1997.
