Central government employees are all set to receive Dearness Allowance (DA) benefits approved under the 7th Pay Commission from July 1, 2021.
There is some good news for 52 lakh central government employees, central government servants (CGS), and over 65 lakh pensioners who are awaiting a hike in their salary as a meeting regarding the pending dearness allowance arrears (DA) is scheduled for June 26.
The participants of the meeting will include the Ministry of Finance, National Council of Joint Consultative Machinery (JCM), and the Department of Personnel and Training (DOPT). The final decision on the DA will be taken during the meeting.
Central government employees are all set to receive Dearness Allowance (DA) benefits approved under the 7th Pay Commission from July 1, 2021. The Central government recently confirmed in the parliament about the rollout of stalled dearness allowance (DA) and dearness relief (DR) from next month.
The employees are waiting for the decision to be taken at the June 26 meeting hoping that the government will decide in their favour. Speaking on the pay matrix and DA arrears of the 7th Pay Commission, Shiv Gopal Mishra, Secretary-Staff Side, National Council of JCM, said that a simple calculation can show the DA arrears that central government employees can expect.
The government has already said that the stalled dearness allowance (DA) and dearness relief (DR) will be resumed from July 1. The three installments of dearness allowance for central government employees and DR for pensioners, due on January 1, 2020, July 1, 2020, and January 1, 2021, were frozen in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The employees are going to get the benefit of two years DA directly, because the dearness allowance of the central government employees had increased by 4 per cent in January 2020, then there was an increase of 3 percent in the second half i.e. in June 2020. In January 2021, the dearness allowance increased once again by 4 per cent.
That means the total has gone up to 28 percent. The DA will be increased by 11% to 28% after it will be reinstated from July 2021 onwards.
