When two cats fight , what happens?

Nobody is bothered about the pensioners. Takru had earlier indicated that 100% DA neutralisation for the pensioners who retired before 2002 could be considered only if the expenditure is met out of load. Now nobody is prepared to share the load for this purpose and this item has to be dealt with separately. Older pensioners condemned to survive on tapering DA. Further, GOI insists that Unions can only talk about Scale 1 to 3 officers only. I feel this is correct. In the previous revision, IBA insisted that terminal end of GMs should be at Rs 54,400 whereas Unions wanted it to be Rs 47,000. Ultimately IBA prevailed over the Unions to let it be Rs 52000 because a certain amount of parity has to be maintained with Govt Officials. If the Unions have their way, they would pull down all senior officers as they wanted the quantum of rise should be precisely to be the same for all grades.  GOI does not follow this practice as it accepted a factor of 1.86 for junior officers and maximum of 2.61 for apex officers while merging DA in case of Sixth Pay Commission. Because of their wrangling, we also got a max of Rs 52000 only which was sweetened by Grade Allowance and SCA making us hybrid between IBA pay scales and Sixth Pay Commission pay scales.

It seems Takru would be the sole judge in wrangling between Unions and IBA.
