4. Further, as per the information available on the PE Survey Portal, no CPSE is presently reported to be under the 1992 pay scale and, accordingly, DA orders for the said pay scale are not being issued. However, in the event any CPSE subsequently furnishes verifiable data establishing coverage under the 1992 pay scale, the admissible DA shall be computed strictly in accordance with the applicable norms and conveyed to the concerned administrative Ministry/Department for necessary action.
5. All concerned Ministries/Departments shall verify the applicability of the relevant pay scales and corresponding IDA OMs before extending DA, ensure that updated pay-revision status is furnished on the PE Survey Portal, and note that while DA rates are computed and notified by DPE as per the prescribed formula, their extension and implementation in respect of individual CPSEs, including financial implications, shall rest with the concerned Administrative Ministry/Department.
6. This issues with the approval of the Secretary, Department of Public Enterprises.
