DA Arrears payment likely to be announced n 25 Dec

 

It is being told that talks were held between the National Council of JCM, Department of Personnel and Training, and Ministry of Finance regarding arrears. However, no final decision has been taken about this yet. Still, the worker's unions are demanding pending arrears. There is now a ray of hope for the govt. employees as they might receive the pending DA arrears for the last 18 months now! 

According to media reports, the council has put forth a demand in front of the government that while restoring DA, a one-time settlement of DA arrears was froozen for 18 months. It is also expected that in December this issue can be discussed with the cabinet secretary to make a one-time settlement of 18 months DA arrears. According to the Pay Commission report, there are a total of 33 lakh central employees in the country. 

If PM Modi gives a green signal on this, then a huge amount will come into the bank account of the employees. Earlier, the Modi government had increased the DA to 31 per cent. 48 lakh central government employees and more than 65 lakh pensioners are getting the benefit of this.
