Who is actually feeding poor people of India? Is it Govt or Govt Employees!
A very simple calculation to show contribution of Government Employees to the Exchequer due to dearness allowance (DA) freeze-
Total Employees = 54 lakh
Total Pensioners = 65 lakh
Average pay per employee/pensioner = 50,000/-
Dearness Allowance @ 4% from 01/01/2020 to 30/06/2020: 2,000 ├Ч 6 = 12,000/-
Dearness Allowance @ 4% from 01/07/2020 to 31/12/2020 (4+4=8%): 4,000 ├Ч 6 = 24,000/-
Dearness Allowance @ 4% from 01/01/2021 to 30/06/2021 (4+4+4=12): 6,000 ├Ч 6 = 36,000/-
Total amount involved per employee/pensioner = 12,000 + 24,000 + 36,000 = 72,000/-
Contribution of Central Government Employees/Pensioners (54 lakh + 65 lakh = 119 lakh) =72,000 ├Ч 1,19,00,000 = 85680,00,00,000
Hence, government employees are contributing 85.68 thousand crore to the Government Exchequer.
Apart from this one days pay has been donated by the government employees (54 lakh) to PM fund which tantamounts to 1000 crore (approx.)
Income Tax element may also be thought about which comes out to be 3.5 thousand crore.
Hence, additional support (excluding Income Tax component) from govt employees/pensioners would be-
85680 crore + 1000 crore = 86680 crore
It is more than 50% of the Government’s Corona Package of 1.7 lakh crore.
Just imagine who is actually feeding poor people of India? Is it Government or Government Employees !
