The decision to freeze three instalments of Dearness Allowance (DA)/Dearness Relief (DR) was made in response to the economic disruption caused by the pandemic.

The Secretary of the National Council (JCM) Staff Side, Shiva Gopal Mishra, wrote a letter to the Cabinet Secretary addressing the matter of 18 months DA arrears. Mishra mentioned that the payment of Dearness Allowance/Dearness Relief from 01.01.2020, 01.07.2020, and 01.01.2021, along with the arrears, had been extensively discussed. He also cited the earlier judgement of the Supreme Court in Civil Appeal No 399 of 2021, which established that Salaries and Pensions were rightful entitlements of the employees and should be paid according to the law. Mishra stressed that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all Central Government Employees had continued their duties despite the circumstances, and it is important to consider their legitimate payment of Dearness Allowance arrears for 18 months sympathetically. He urged the necessary authorities to take action and issue instructions for the payment of the arrears.

As of 2022, the Staff Side of National Council JCM cannot confirm if the arrears for this period will be paid.

In 2022, the latest news regarding 18 Months DA Arrears is a hot topic among India’s leading news channels. While the National Council JCM and other employees federations are demanding payment for the 18-month period from January 2020 to June 2021, the Central Government is maintaining its stance of no arrears payment.

The Department of Expenditure’s order, dated April 23, 2020, stated that no arrears would be paid for the period from January 2020 to June 2021. However, on July 20, 2021, the government decided to release three DA instalments, increasing the rate of Dearness Allowance to 28% of basic pay from the existing rate of 17% with effect from July 1, 2021.

    We leave it to our dearest PM and Madam Nirmala to decide our case of DA/DR arrears. Inspite of lock down and other severe measures to contain the pandemic we were supplied with essential items like food, medicines and vaccines at no cost or lowest ever cost. One positive side of hike in fuel prices is that all 140 crores of Indians are tax payers either direct and or indirect that makes our economy stronger than ever. Even a beggar has to pay ₹2 extra as tax even for a soap he buys at the end of the day. Even if all banks world over fail Indian banks grow stronger day by day and takes our economy to number one soon. Economies of other top G20 countries are sagging day by day due to their direct or indirect support to Russian war.
    We remain neutral to war and stands for peace and dialogue. We only know that there is no winner in a war and all are losers. We get oil from Russia for next to nothing in exchange for food items vital for their survival. Petrol & Diesel can be sold at ₹35 and ₹30 using Russian crude oil flowing like Ganga river from Russia. We r selling it at more than 3 times and that is the secret of our economy. Another reason is our whopping GST collections which is just like our TDS for individuals IT. Last but not the least is digital India & Make in India etc of our PM’s vision of India becoming World no. 1.
    We have no enemies but only friends. India is the only country that is an active player in G20, BRICSS, SCO, QUAD, SAARC etc. Pakisthan has become a failed state in every sense, be it political, economical or even in their exports of terrorism. We export the most high tech and high skilled manpower which even China cannot do because 60% of their population are senior citizens who r not required even in their own homes leave alone elsewhere. Our Indians worked day & night to overtake China in population and we have more than 70% young men & women between 18 and 40 who r ready to go and work anywhere including the North and South Pole or even in Sahara for a higher salary that is better than their homeland.
    No surprise that Madam Kamala Harris became even the US President ( for 2 hrs) and the next President in waiting serving as Vice President with executive powers that no other VP of the US ever before.
    An Indian origin man became the UK Prime Minister and his wife the first Lady of UK, Mr & Mrs. Rishi Sunak. First time in the history of the world, an Indian, Justice Dal Vir Singh Bhandari became the Chief Justice of the International Court of Justice defeating his UK rival Christopher Greenwood by a huge margin 183 vs 10. 193 countries voted and 183 voted for Justice Bhandari leaving Britain in shame, a post held by a British for the last 71 years unopposed till yesterday. Modi and his team played this game and won. No other leader in this world is so well-known & acceptable to all. After a span of 25 or 30 years each and every country in this world will have an Indian ( POI) as its PM or President including China & Pakistan is my prediction.

    It is NOT within the Govt’s Right to with hold legal financial dues to its Central Employees.
    However, if the Govt had appealed to it’s employees to contribute towards the crisis, I am sure we would have raised MORE than the 32000 Cr.

    18 months DA DR. IF NOT POSSIBLE TO Pay. Say so ..remember Kerala govt too freeze salary if state employees. But all were returned . Not only that the pay commission report called for and paid arrears right from July 2019. I do not know Kerala has it’s own reserve Bank. But employees and are getting their salary and pension revised every five years as constitutional provisions. The minimum pay in central is. 18000 Whereas in state it is 23000. Next pay commission is due for state in 2024. There are so many differences in state and central. Central employees have to serve anywhere in India , whereas only in Kerala. 20 casual leave for state and for central it is 8.

    Honorable PM and FM please consider release of DA arrears of 18 months atleast for the retired servants as they are suffering to meet the livelihood at the age of 70 and more especially we dont get support from children as no male child and only female child from them we cannot expect any financial help. Please consider and release to the pensioners as a first step. You both will get blessing from these old people. Jai Hind

    At present, there is no official decision from the Central Government to provide Central Government employees and pensioners with arrears for the period of 18 months between January 2020 to June 2021. The Minister of the Department of Personnel and Training recently stated in Parliament that there is currently no plan to release the suspended DA arrears for 18 months that were affected by the Covid pandemic.
