Revision as of 16:04, 16 October 2016

Special Duty Allowance (SDA) is an allowance paid to officers of All India Services (AIS), including police officers, when posted in any of the seven states in Northeast India, and Ladakh, including in state capitals and tourist destinations like Gawahati, Aizwal, Shillong, Kohima, and Leh.[1]: para 4.2.14 [2]: para 8.17.115  The SDA rate is 37.5 percent of basic pay  for AIS officers and 12.5 percent of basic pay for other employees. The SDA is one of the highest allowances paid to a government servant, and is higher than the Siachen allowance, a fixed amount paid to armed forces personnel posted in Saichen. [2]: para 8.10.67 

6 CPC

Following the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission (6CPC) the Congress (I) Government led by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh granted SDA to all "AIS officers and Central Government employees having all India transfer liability on their posting to any station in the North Eastern Region from outside the region". It was meant to "offset the security environment and the difficult working and living conditions prevailing in North Eastern Region".[citation needed] The rate for SDA granted by the government was "12.5% of the Basic Pay. [1]: para 4.2.14 and 4.2.23 The Government linked the SDA to inflation, mandating that it " shall automatically increase by 25% whenever the Dearness Allowance payable on the revised pay bands goes up by 50percent." [1]: para 4.2.24.4 

The Government on the recommendations of the 6CPC granted Special (Duty) Allowance to Government employees posted in Ladakh, as they "face similar difficulties" as in the NE India.. The 'difficulties' in the seven states in NE India, as well as Ladakh, have never been adequately defined[according to whom?], or how these are more challenging than in other parts of the country. [1]: para 4.2.25  As a result SDA bounty is paid to officers of select services when posted in state capitals including tourist destinations like Gawahati, Aizwal, Shillong, and Leh.

SDA was not granted to group C and D employees.[citation needed] Some of them[who?] went to court, and got the allowance because of court ruling; others did not. The Government did not grant SDA to the armed forces, creating anomalous[according to whom?] disparities.[citation needed]

7CPC

In November 2015, the 7CPC, without examining the reasons for SDA,[citation needed] recommended that "SDA for AIS officers should be paid at the rate of 30 percent of Basic Pay and for other civilian employees at the rate of 10 percent of Basic Pay" [2] : para 8.17.118  It reiterated the justification given by the 6CPC noting that it "is of the view that AIS officers are allotted cadres, irrespective of their choice, and they are required to work in these cadres for considerable periods of time. As such, a higher rate of SDA for them is justified". [2] :  p 353 para 8.17.117 

To avoid drawing attention to SDA,[citation needed] the 7CPC chose to discuss and make its recommendations on SDA under the innocuousTemplate:According whom heading of 'other allowances' in Chapter 8.17[2], alongside other unremarkable[according to whom?] allowances like 'haircutting allowance', and 'brief case allowance'. [2] The Special Duty Allowance (SDA) at 30 percent of the pay, works out 35,550 , an officer from IPS with 13 years service, Rs 43260 per month for officers with 17 years service, and Rs 54,660 for officers with 22 years of service. The SDA which is paid exclusively to three services, in which the police dominates,[citation needed] is not paid to armed forces officers, creating major assemetries[according to whom?] in pay and allowances of armed forces officers and police officers. The fact that SDA is more than than the Saichen allowance has provoked outrage[by whom?], widespread derision[by whom?] and scathing comments[by whom?], seriously undermining the credibility[according to whom?] of 7CPC.[3][4][5] The public outrage has prompted the BJP government to appoint another committee to review all allowances.[6][7]
