All central government employees are waiting for the announcement of DA.
Dearness Allowance is not only important for Central Government employees but also for all the State Government employees.
As we all know, generally, Dearness Allowance is given twice a year based on the inflation rates.
Mostly, this DA has been released at end of February or March. Occasionally, it has been released in the month of April.
Only after the DA for the Central Government employees is announced, most of the State Governments will make DA announcements. After the approval of the Cabinet, the Finance Minister will announce the DA order.
The pensioners have placed a plea to the government to release the DR Relief order also when it announces the Dearness Allowance in order to avoid possible delays in getting DR Relief.
In this scenario, it is natural for the employees to expect the announcement of DA every day. Let us hope that the announcement will come soon.

Perhaps they want to sideline the attention of C G Employees from the demand for Interim relief, DA Merger and 7th Pay commission’s report.

It goes to the discredit of all successive Central Governments to marginalize and humiliate the working classes especially Central Government employees and pensioners and withholding their genuine demands and not acceding the requests of hapless employees unions and NDA Government is No.1 in torturing the Central Government employees and pensioners. Never in the history DA for January has not been announced till 5th April 2015 except tone time in 2013 by UPA Government . It is alright if it suits to the current Central Government.
