The reliable sources have indicated that the UPA government is expected to ask the seventh pay commission to consider merging 50% dearness allowance with basic pay of the employees.

The merger will form part of the terms of reference (ToR) for the seventh central pay commission, which will be taken up by the Cabinet this week. The sources indicate that the issue of interim relief also will be considered.

Officials said the ToR of the Pay Commission categorically states that a proposal in this regard should be actively considered.
