7th Pay Commission: It is discussed that due to the new variant Omicron of Corona, this time also the government is going to stop Dearness Allowance (DA). This news viral on social media is fake. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) of the Government of India has denied this.
New Delhi. 7th Pay Commission: The government had banned Dearness Allowance (DA) of central employees and Dearness Relief (DR) of pensioners in 2020 due to Corona. Now it is being heard again that due to the new variant Omicron of Corona, this time also the government is going to stop the Dearness Allowance (DA). This news viral on social media is actually fake. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) of the Government of India has denied such a thing.
A message is viral on social media for the last few days. In this viral message, it has been claimed showing a letter that due to the new variant of Corona, the Central Government has again stopped the Dearness Allowance (DA) of employees and Dearness Relief (DR) of pensioners.
It has been told in the viral message that the said letter is an order of the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has called it a fake message on Twitter itself.
PIB has written on Twitter that a fake order issued in the name of Ministry of Finance is going viral. It has been claimed that dearness allowance and dearness relief payable to central government employees and pensioners will be postponed. This is completely wrong news.
This time the employees have high hopes
It is worth noting that this time central employees have high hopes from the 7th Pay Commission. So far, many media reports have said that the central government has made up its mind to increase the fitment factor and it can be increased soon. AICPI Index November figures are out. The index has reached 125.7. In such a situation, it is now clear that there will be an increase of 2 percent in Dearness Allowance for January 2022. Meaning the total dearness allowance for central government employees will be 33%. Right now they are getting paid 31% DA.
