What does the government have to say on DA Arrear?
The central government had increased the dearness allowance by 11 percent from July 2021. But, after freezing for one and a half years, there was no talk about DA arrears. The government has made it clear that dearness allowance was frozen at the time of Corona. So there is no option of arrears. But, the union of pensioners and central employees is continuously raising this issue. JCM Secretary (Staff Side) says that settlement is expected on this soon.
Will there be talk on DA Arrear?
Central employees get the gift of dearness allowance every six months. Soon dearness allowance is going to be announced for the second half of this year as well. Right now central employees are getting 34 percent DA. It is likely to increase by 4% in the coming days.
