Defers decision on anti-corruption ordinances and Forward Contract Regulation (Amendment) Act
The Cabinet today approved merger of 50% dearness allowance of Central government employees and pensioners with their basic pay. However, it has deferred a decision on anti-corruption ordinances and Forward Contract Regulation (Amendment) Act. A special Cabinet meeting is likely tomorrow to take call on these ordinances.

However, an ordinance on key anti-corruption legislations which have been strongly backed by Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi has been deferred. Sources saying there could be a decision at another Cabinet meeting on Saturday. The Congress core group will take up the issue when it meets on Friday evening.
Meanwhile, the Cabinet has also decided that Andhra Pradesh, which is being split to create Telangana, will be put under President's Rule. The state has been without a chief minister after Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy resigned from the post and Congress party to protest against the passage of Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill, 2013 which paved the way for Telangana's creation.
The Bill is awaiting President Pranab Mukherjee's consent after which India will have 29 states.
