What is Dearness Allowance?
Dearness allowance is such money, which is given to government employees to improve their cost of living. This money is given so that even after rising inflation, there is no difference in the standard of living of the employee. This money is given to government employees, public sector employees and pensioners. Dearness Allowance was first introduced in India in 1972 from Mumbai. After this, the Central Government started giving dearness allowance to all the government employees.
