7th Pay Commission: Central employees have received many gifts in the last one and a half months. There has been a big revision from Dearness allowance to HRA. But, what happened to the DA Arrear stuck for the last one and a half years? The central government increased the dearness allowance by 11 percent from July 2021. The total dearness allowance reached 28 percent. But, after freezing for one and a half years, there was no talk about DA arrears. The government has made it clear that there is no talk of giving arrears, as the DA was kept frozen till June 2021.
talks with the government regarding arrears
National Council of JCM Secretary (Staff Side) Shiv Gopal Mishra congratulated the government on increasing Dearness Allowance (DA Hike). But, he was also a little upset due to the lack of talk on the arrears. Mishra says that the arrears of one and a half year (18 Months DA Arrear) have not been given yet. Talks are going on with the government regarding this. Given the limited resources and the demand of central employees, it is expected that the government will also definitely make a negotiated settlement. Such a way will be found that the government can also be helped and the employees can also be helped.
28% will be a lump sum payment
Let us tell you, on July 14, the dearness allowance was increased by 11 percent in the cabinet. It has been implemented from 1 July 2021. It is expected that along with the salary in the month of September, the salary will be given at the rate of 28 percent. Along with this, arrears of July and August 2021 will also be available. The last three installments are to be paid in lump sum. The dearness allowance of January 2020, June 2020, January 2021 was kept frozen due to Corona. Now this restriction has been removed. By stopping three installments of DA / DR (dearness allowance (DA) and dearness relief (DR)) given to the staff, the central government has saved Rs 34,402.32 crore.
Dearness allowance will increase by 3 percent
It has become clear from the latest data of AICPI that in June 2021 also, the dearness allowance will increase by 3 percent. Meaning, after the total DA of 28 percent, now there will be a further increase of 3 percent. With this, the DA-DR of central employees and pensioners will increase to 31 percent. Looking at the AICPI data of the Labor Ministry for June 2021, the index has increased by 1.1 points, taking it to 121.7. Now dearness allowance may increase by 3 percent in June 2021. However, it is not clear when it will be announced.
Benefit will also be available in other allowances
Only Dearness Allowance for central employees will not increase in September. Rather, other allowances will also increase. This includes Travel Allowance and City Allowance. At the same time, a big increase is also expected in Provident Fund and Gratuity for retirement. This is because, the increase in dearness allowance affects all these allowances.
