7th Pay Commission. On the one hand, discussions are on in full swing for the increase in dearness allowance of Central Government employees-pensioners by 3 to 4 percent in July, on the other hand, the long pending DA arrears of 18 months (18 Month DA Arrear) are in full swing. )


But till now no relief has been received. According to media reports, the government has made it clear that the payment of outstanding DA arrears is not considered nor has it been included in any agenda, so there is little hope of getting the money.

Actually, the DA arrears of central employees for 18 months i.e. from January 2020 to June 2021 are outstanding. Earlier it was being said that a decision could be taken on this soon. In the last months, when the dearness allowance of the employees was increased to 34%, then the employees were hopeful that the Modi government could take a decision on this as well and for this, C. Sreekumar, the member of JCM and general secretary of AIDEF, had also written a letter to the cabinet secretary. There was also talk of a joint meeting of JCM with the officials of Department of Personnel and Training, Ministry of Finance, Department of Expenditure, but no relief nor any decision was taken.

According to media reports, now the central government has made it clear that there is no idea to give arrears. Turned down the request to release 3 installments of Dearness Relief Arrear, which was stopped during the pandemic. In the 32nd meeting of the Standing Committee of Voluntary Agencies to Review Pension Rules, a representative of the Department of Expenditure (DOI) made it clear that the arrears amount of the previous DA and DR would not be released. The total amount of dearness relief and dearness allowance for employees was about Rs 34,000 crore.

Let us inform that in the past, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Modi government had said in a statement that in view of the conditions of Corona, dearness allowance of the employees was stopped and the poor and needy were helped with that money. During this, the salaries of ministers and MPs were deducted, but no deduction was made in the salary of central employees, nor was there any cut in DA, the whole year and DA and their salary were paid. It is a branch of the Union Ministry of Finance. This decision of the government is considered to be a big setback for the employees, as the payment of 11 thousand to 2 lakh was to be done in it.
