Employees have got good news. On Wednesday (March 30, 2022), the government increased the dearness allowance for its employees by three percent, while the dearness relief for pensioners was increased at the same rate.
According to the decision of the Union Cabinet, after increasing the DA of government employees and DR of pensioners by three percent, it will be 34 percent. This increase will come into effect from January 1, 2022.
This increase has been made by the government at a time when the country is battling inflation amid the slow pace of Corona. Be it petrol-diesel or vegetables and fruits… the price of everything has increased. In such a situation, it is believed that this old age in the DA of central employees and DR of pensioners will give them some relief.
