7th CPC DA calculation as it is not giving the DA benefit we supposed to get from sixth CPC.
A Comparison of current DA vs 7th Pay Commission DA

As per this current DA calculator.6th pay DA would be 7% and7th pay DA is 2% from July on-wards.Now if we see this figures logically there is great disappointment. We actually can’t get 7th pay DA hike at least same as currently available system of 6th pay DA hike.7th pay commission has raised basic pay with Multiplication factor 2.57.Then logically DA revision pattern would also be such as which at least should maintain equivalency of 2.57 factor.
For example…If one’s Basic pay in 6th CPC is Rs. 20000, So with fitment factor of 2.57 his Basic Pay in 7th pay will be 51400.So as per DA calculator,  7% DA rise on 6th CPC Basic Pay will be Rs.1400 .      2% DA rise on 7th CPC Basic Pay  will be 1028.So current applicable DA system is clearly failing to maintain the parity between 6th pay and 7th pay consideration.In order to achieve this balance either DA Calculation system or 7th pay fitment factor should be amended.Suppose if  we think fitment factor should be amended to maintain the parity in DA Rates between Sixth and 7th CPC, then the should be such basic to be fixed so as give its 2% value as Rs. 1400.Thus, the 7th CPC Basic Pay to be revised as Rs. 70000 instead of Rs. 51400.And to arrive 70000 as basic Pay, the fitment factor should be revised to  3.5…!!!If this issue is not considered timely then employee will suffer for upcoming 10 years.SOURCE-Central Government Employees News

MYTHS AND REALITIES ABOUT CHILD LABOUR AMENDMNET BILL, 2016

MYTH	REALITY
The amendment has introduced the provision of allowing child to work in family enterprises.	The child was allowed to work in any family enterprise including hazardous enterprises without regulation of working hours. The Bill completely prohibits employment in any family enterprise with the exception of help being allowed and that too inchild’s own family enterprise, only if it is non-hazardous and after school hours and during vacation.
The amendment would legalize and recognize child labour being done in homes.	Instead of legalizing, it restricts engagement of children even in child’s own family enterprise as help can be done only after school hours and during vacations and in non-hazardous enterprises.
It will increase the number of out of school children	The basic objective of the amendment is to ensure no hindrance in the school education and hence even help in family or own family enterprise has not been permitted at the cost of education. A child if made to help during school hours is an offence under the Amended provision.
Children will now be allowed to work in beedi making and other hazardous family enterprises	On the contrary, children at present allowed working in any family enterprise including beedi making without regulation of working hours. The proposed amendment prohibits any work even in child’s own family enterprise but permits help after school hours and during vacation.
The Schedule has been reduced from 83 to 3	The existing Schedule and the Schedule in the Amendment Bill, 2016 are not comparable as one of certain occupations and processes where children were prohibited to work and new schedule of hazardous occupations and processes. The proposed Schedule does not include only 3 occupations but 3 groups/ categories which would be elaborated and added in due course.
