There is a good news for the central government employees. After increasing the dearness allowance to 31 percent from July 1, the government will now give four months DA arrears to its employees.Â
The release of pending DA dues for 18 months has not been announced yet but is expected to happen soon. It is being said that before Christmas and New Year, a big decision can be taken on DA arrears of central employees.
Under the 7th Pay Commission (7th Pay Commission), the central government has provided many benefits for its employees in addition to 31 percent DA. National Council of Joint Consultative Machinery (JCM) secretary Shiv Gopal Mishra said that the council has made a demand before the government. Said that while restoring DA, one-time payment of DA arrears pending for 18 months would be done. It is expected that in December, the matter of DA arrears can be discussed in the Cabinet Secretary.
Let us tell you that a meeting of the Joint Advisor with the officials of the Ministry of Finance, Department of Personnel and Training and Department of Expenditure is going to be held soon. It is likely to discuss the lump sum payment of DA arrears. In the past, pensioners had demanded the intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in this matter. The government has also assured to consider it.
According to JCM secretary Shiv Gopal Mishra, the DA arrears of Level-1 employees will be between Rs 11,880 and Rs 37,000. On the other hand, Level-13 employees will get Rs 1,44,200 to Rs 2,18,200 as DA arrears. In the monsoon session of Parliament, the Government of India clarified that dearness allowance is being restored.
