Last time was implemented late, increased DA

DA is given for better living
Let us tell you that dearness allowance is given by the government to improve the standard of living of the employees. The reason for increasing the dearness allowance is that the increase in inflation should not affect the living conditions of the employees. It is part of the salary of the employees.
