The Bharatiya Janata Party - battling an image crisis fueled by criticism over its handling of the pandemic - has set itself ambitious targets as it tries to claw back goodwill and celebrate the seventh anniversary of the Narendra Modi government, which came to power May 30, 2014.
The Ministry of Labour and Employment on Friday announced a hike in variable dearness allowance for more than 1.5 crore workers in the central sphere by Rs 105 to Rs 210 per month.
The hike, which will be effective from April 1, 2021, will also result in an increase in rate of minimum wages for central sphere employees and workers.
It will be for scheduled employment in central sphere and applicable to the establishments under the authority of central government, railway administration, mines, oil fields, major ports or any corporation established by the central government. These rates are equally applicable to contract and casual employees/workers.
