What is Dearness Allowance (DA)?
Dearness allowance is such money, which is given to government employees to improve their cost of living. This money is given so that even after rising inflation, there is no difference in the standard of living of the employee. This money is given to government employees, public sector employees and pensioners. It started during the Second World War. At that time, this money was given to the soldiers apart from the salary for food and other facilities. At that time it was called Food Dearness Allowance or Dearness Food Allowance. Dearness Allowance was first introduced in India in 1972 from Mumbai. After this, the Central Government started giving dearness allowance to all the government employees.
DA changes every 6 months
