6.4 DoPT

Staff Side stated that the sewing charges of uniform were revised vide DoPT order No.14/3/2006-JCA dated 28.9.2006. There has been steep rise in the sewing charges during last 5 years. At present these rates have practically trebled. It is, therefore, proposed that sewing charges for unifonns may at least be doubled.

Reply of the Official Side :

It was decided to enhance the rates of sewing charges, with effect from 01.04.2011, thereby modifying the earlier instructions issued vide O.M. No. 14/3/2006-JCA dated 28.09.2006. Now, after the 7th CPC, the common categories of Group C and erstwhile Group D employees of various Ministries/departments, including attached/subordinate offices, who were supplied uniform earlier are now being paid Dress Allowance.
