7th Pay Commission: The Pensioners Forum of India (BMS) has written a letter to PM Modi regarding the payment of arrears of DA, DR. BMS has appealed to PM Modi to intervene in this matter.      

7th Pay Commission:  28% allowance has started in the account of central employees, but still they have got disappointment on one front. Their expectations regarding the 18 months arrears of the employees could not be fulfilled. When the government announced about the dearness allowance, it was said that they would get the increased dearness allowance only, but the government had refused about the arrears.

PM Modi will now decide on arrears 

But now the news is coming that the matter of 18 months arrears has reached Prime Minister Narendra Modi, now PM Modi will decide about the arrears. With this, the hopes of the central employees regarding arrears have been awakened once again. If PM Modi gives green signal to 18 months arrears, then a huge amount will come in the account of about 1 crore central employees and pensioners.

At present, the dearness allowance of central employees has increased to 28%. 48 lakh central government employees and more than 65 lakh pensioners are getting the benefit of this.

Not right decision for pensioners

DA/DR is paid to the employees and pensioners to compensate for the increase in the cost of living. During the 18 months, the cost has increased very rapidly. In such a situation, withholding money for this period is not in the interest of the employees and pensioners. It has been mentioned in the letter that most of the pensioners are of old age. Medicines require money. Also, due to the Covid-19 crisis, the income of most pensioners is so much that they can only fill their stomach.

BMS said that there is no doubt that the country is going through a financial crisis. Most of the pensioners have contributed one day pension to the Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Emergency Relief Fund (PM CARES). Now if they need it, then the government should pay ‘DA/DR’.
