7th pay commission: Today a very important meeting was held regarding the Dearness Allowance i.e. DA and Dearness Relief i.e. DR. In this meeting, there was discussion regarding increasing dearness allowance and payment of arrears. No information has been revealed so far about what decision has been taken in the meeting, but a letter signed by Finance Secretary TV Somanathan is going viral on social media.
It has been written in this letter that the Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief, which has been frozen at present due to the Corona epidemic, is being implemented again from 1 July 2021. In the second line, it is written that the arrears made due to freezing of allowances of central employees and pensioners in the last one and a half years will also be paid. The government will pay it in three instalments.
